A study of the running time of several known algorithms and several new algorithms to compute the n[superscript th] element of the Fibonacci sequence is presented. Since the size of the n[superscript th] Fibonacci number grows exponentially with n, the number of bit operations, instead of the number of integer...
This thesis presents the idea for FORIN (Forest Roads Inventory), a computerized forest roads inventory system. FORIN is a tool to more efficiently inventory and manage information of forest roads. FORIN is intended for use by field personnel, who will use pen-based computers to improve productivity, accuracy of inventories, to...

AN ABSTRACT OF TILE THESIS OF
Peter (Pece) V. Gorsevski for the
There were six major objectives of this study. The first was to
identify the common career education competencies that elementary
and/or junior high school teachers should have as they adopt and
utilize the concepts of career education. The second purpose was to
identify where, in the professional preparation of the...
As the volume of genetic sequence data increases due to improved sequencing techniques and increased interest, the computational tools available to analyze the data are becoming inadequate. This thesis seeks to improve a few of the computational methods available to access and analyze data in the genetic sequence databases. The...
The competition or rivalry for the use of water resources
among economic sectors of the Pacific Northwest and among geographical
regions of the western United States has intensified in recent
years. This rivalry and the long run prospects for water shortages
have increased the demand for research concerning the productivity...

Full-depth velocity and density profiles taken along the 3000-m isobath characterize the semidiurnal
internal tide and bottom-intensified turbulence along the Hawaiian Ridge. Observations reveal baroclinic
energy fluxes of 21 ± 5 kW m⁻¹ radiating from French Frigate Shoals, 17 ± 2.5 kW m⁻¹ from Kauai
Channel west of Oahu, and...
A two-part study was conducted to investigate some of the nutritional
relationships between dietary tri-o-cresylphosphate (TOCP), a
toxic stress material, and dietary vitamin E and selenium. In part
one, growth rate of male weanling Long-Evans rats and day-old
Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) was used to determine the
protective action...
