Since the "200 miles" fishery conservation zones
were established by some coastal countries, new arrangements
between countries to participate jointly in
fishing, processing, and marketing of fish products
have emerged. One such fish product is surimi. As a
result of extended jurisdiction, each coastal country's
interest in the surimi industry...
The behavior of different parameterizations of mixed layer physics when used in an oceanic general circulation model (OGCM) having coarse resolution of the upper ocean is examined. The method of parameterization is expected to have an important effect on the resulting sea surface temperature, and hence affect the model's overall...
In order to understand the atmospheric branch of the earth's
hydrologic cycle on the global scale, an atmospheric moisture balance
is diagnostically analyzed from the January and July data of the OSU
atmospheric general circulation model, which has been integrated for
thirty-nine months of simulation with seasonally-varying sea-surface
temperature and...
The purpose of the present study was to investigate value perceptions and consumption behaviors of sneakerheads who are mixed-role resellers of sneakers. “Sneakerhead” is a term given to those who collect and wear sneakers with a vast amount of effort and resources (Semmelhack, Garcia, Lepri, Willis, & Hatfield, 2015). “Mixed-role...
The internal structure of natural fiber composites can be manipulated by controlling the spatial distribution of fiber orientation and internal chemical and thermodynamic conditions during their consolidation. Objects highly tailored to specific service demands may thereby be produced. Techniques to form miniature structural beams from oriented hemp and random wood...
White electroluminescence (EL) was observed for the
first time from diamond-like carbon (DLC) films at room
temperature. Electroluminescence was observed by the
application of ac voltages in excess of 200 V to a metal-insulator-
semiconductor (i.e. DLC)-insulator-metal (MISIM)
device structure.
For EL applications, three types of the DLC films were...
The ever changing nature of the retail industry, and the additional challenges of doing business in a rural area, mean that retailers in rural communities face a unique situation that makes them especially vulnerable to outshopping by rural consumers. Therefore the purpose of this study was to investigate factors which...
North American cultivation of Ribes L. may expand as small fruit growers seek species to diversify horticultural crops. The Ribes industry was suppressed for decades out of fear that cultivated black currants and gooseberries would intensify the fungal disease white pine blister rust (WPBR) on five-needle pine (Pinus L. section...
Wireless LANs (WLANs) have been widely adopted and are more convenient as they are inter-connected as wireless campus networks and wireless mesh networks. However, time-sensitive multimedia applications, which
have become more popular, could suffer from long end-to-end latency in WLANs.
This is due mainly to handoff delay, which in turn...
