The ecology of a population of snowshoe hares, Lepus
americanus washingtonii, was studied in western Oregon from 1960
to 1962. Objectives were to obtain information to control hares,
which frequently cause damage to coniferous reproduction in the

Ocean fronts represent productive regions of the ocean, but predator-prey interactions within these features are
poorly understood partially due to the coarse-scale and biases of net-based sampling methods. We used the In
Situ Ichthyoplankton Imaging System (ISIIS) to sample across a front near the Georges Bank shelf edge on two...
Despite today’s high divorce rate, one out of five first marriages

Identifying the most relevant items in an e-commerce site is becoming more and more
difficult nowadays because of the heavy overload of information. A Java Recommender
System that uses Collaborative Filtering techniques has been developed to reduce such
information overload and even personalize the information to the individual’s preference.

Radioecology observes the movement of radioactive isotopes throughout the environment. For radioecology, locations of study are limited to areas accidentally contaminated from a number of sources. The Chalk River Laboratories of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited have stored low level waste since the mid 1940s. In certain instances, the wastes...
