Species associations of fifteen major commercial groundfish species in the
northeastern Pacific ocean and their spatial and temporal characteristics were studied
using Oregon bottom trawl logbook data, 1987 to 1993. Screening procedures were used
to remove questionable data from the original logbook files, which resulted in the
exclusion of information...
Marine fish are subject to direct and indirect oceanographic variations operating at short and long time scales. In this study feeding habits and long-term growth condition of several groundfish species of the Pacific Northwest are examined to understand the relationship between variations in the fish's biological and life history components...
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...
This thesis examines the characterization of the femme fatale and the implications of this trope for late-Victorian gender and sexuality in the ghost stories of female aesthete Vernon Lee. In her treatment of the femme fatale figure, Lee both reinforces and complicates the image of the sexualized, often bestialized woman...
The microprocessors will have more than a billion logic transistors on a single chip in the near future. Several alternatives have been suggested for obtaining highest performance with billion-transistor chips. To achieve the highest performance possible, an on-chip multiprocessor will become one promising alternative to the current superscalar microprocessor. It...
As the design of computers advances, two important trends have surfaced: The exploitation of parallelism and the design against memory latency. Into these two new trends has come the Multithreaded Virtual Processor (MVP). Based on a standard superscalar core, the MVP is able to exploit both Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP)...
As the performance gap between processor and memory grows, memory latency will be a major bottleneck in achieving high processor utilization. Multithreading has emerged as one of the most promising and exciting techniques used to tolerate memory latency by exploiting thread-level parallelism. The question however remains as to how effective...
In the past, multimedia technology focused mainly on designing high quality audio and graphical imagery as well as providing adequate performance levels that the users demand for multimedia applications. However, the concept of multimedia has expanded into New-Media that involves variety use of multimedia data in consumer-oriented applications, such as...
