Family therapists have proposed that specific types of
family interactions are dysfunctional for the family system
and can produce long-term negative effects for the child.
They further propose that, for healthy family functioning to
be maintained, parental alliances must be sustained and
excessive cross-generational coalitions (parent-child
alliances) must be blocked....
We have a poor understanding of the biotic communities in zero-order basins, drainages extending from ridgelines to the initiation of first-order streams. This study describes baseline plant and amphibian composition in unmanaged zero-order basins in the Oregon Coast Range. Specifically, I studied: i) the spatial distribution and diversity of species,...
A three-dimensional sea ice model is presented with resolved snow thickness variations and
melt ponds. The model calculates heating from solar radiative transfer and simulates the formation and
movement of brine/melt water through the ice system. Initialization for the model is based on observations
of snow topography made during the...
