Index size savings from three techniques are measured. The three techniques are: 1) eliminating common, low information words found in a "stop list" (such as: of, the, at, etc.), 2) truncating terms by eliminating word stems (such as: -s, -ed, -ing, etc.), and 3) simple data compression. Savings are measured...
Previous work (Thorgaard, G. H. et al., Aquatic Toxicology 46:121-126, 1999)
showed triploid rainbow trout (0. mykiss) given embryonic carcinogen bath exposures
had significant reduction of induced tumors relative to diploids. In the present study,
trout were made triploid by thermal shock after fertilization. At age of 5 months they...

This thesis consists of three studies to better understand the environmental sustainability potential for algal-based biofuels. Initially, a comparison of recent life cycle assessments (LCA) of theoretical full-scale algal biofuel facilities was developed. These studies include varying boundaries and scope, functional units, and technology maturity assumptions. The comparison converted results...

The freshwater trematode Nanophyetus salmincola has been demonstrated to impair salmonid immune function and resistance to the marine pathogen Vibrio anguillarum, potentially resulting in ocean mortality. We examined whether infection by the parasite N. salmincola similarly increases mortality of juvenile Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha when they are exposed to the...
Diagnostic carbon cycle models produce estimates of net ecosystem production (NEP, the balance of net primary production
and heterotrophic respiration) by integrating information from (i) satellite-based observations of land surface
vegetation characteristics; (ii) distributed meteorological data; and (iii) eddy covariance flux tower observations of
net ecosystem exchange (NEE) (used in...
