Autonomous buoys were deployed in 2011 in the central Arctic: An Ice-Tethered Profiler (ITP) and Ice Mass Balance (IMB) buoys were deployed in the Makarov basin; a Polar Ocean Profiling System (POPS) and Ice Thickness (Ice-T) buoy were deployed on the Eurasian Basin. The two different sites were approximately 70km...
We construct a website to explain how Gaussian mixture models can be optimized using the expectation maximization algorithm. Previous free, online material on this process has been extremely limited. All sources surveyed failed to entirely describe our identified criteria for an in-depth description and useful visualizations. After surveying a variety...
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of advertisement strategy (informational, positive emotional, negative emotional) and brand awareness (high, low awareness) on brand name recall and change in brand attitude. The study extends previous research by focusing on the sportswear market and including personal involvement towards...
During a 13-month period starting in October of 1976, adult
male rough-skinned newts (Taricha granulosa) were collected periodically
to study seasonal changes in reproductive status. Plasma
androgen concentration, measured by radioimmunoassay, is elevated
during autumn and spring (about 50 ng/ml). Winter and summer levels
are considerably lower (less than 10...
Coho salmon smolts (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were transported at low and high densities. (12 and 120 g/L) for short and long periods (4 and 12 h). Because smolts can be transplanted directly to seawater, half of the fish in each treatment were transported to tanks containing seawater and half to tanks...
In computer science, peer review, also referred to as code review, is known to be an efficient technique to ensure quality when developing software projects in various industries. Peer review is one method for encouraging computer scientists benefit from each other by providing them with the opportunity to evaluate other...

Continuous Improvement (CI) of academic computing programs is a main requirement of accreditation. Academic computing programs must have a well-documented CI plan in order to be granted accreditation. Based on the existing literature, we developed a comprehensive CI (or 360-CI) model consisting of 8 components: course, curriculum, administration, faculty, research,...
This is an investigative, descriptive study that explored fishing regulation conflicts between commercial fishermen and fishery resource management agencies. The purpose of the study was to develop a rich picture of the conflict phenomenon and apply sociological theory in order to illuminate the underlying structures and functions which contribute to...
Fusarium proliferatum is a fungus found in soils which produces the mycotoxin group known as fumonisins. Of human concern due to hepato-, nephro- and neurotoxicity, the threat of fumonisins lies within several food items, including corn, wheat sorghum, asparagus and, more recently, garlic. Manifesting as ““garlic rot”,” F. proliferatum infection...
