The National Park Veracruz Reef System was declared a marine protected area by the Mexican government in 1992. It contains 23 reefs presenting different degrees of environmental deterioration mainly due to the influence from nearby rivers, its proximity to the port city of Veracruz-Boca del Río and the currents patterns....
Understanding sandbar dynamics and variability is integral to developing a predictive capacity for nearshore flows, sediment transport, morphological change, and ultimately for determining coastline exposure to damaging storm waves. Here we report on a nearshore bathymetric data set from the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) that stretches from Point Grenville, Washington...
Understanding sandbar dynamics and variability is integral to developing a predictive
capacity for nearshore flows, sediment transport, morphological change, and
ultimately for determining coastline exposure to damaging storm waves. Along the
high-energy U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) coast, sandbars typically dominate the
bathymetry of the active zone. Here we report on...
It has been established that intercollegiate sport is an important social institution for student athletes of color in the United States (Coakley, 2012). White intercollegiate coaches have a prominent influence on the academic, athletic, social and emotional development of student athletes and therefore must be tuned into variation in cultural...
Title IX has increased opportunities for women academically and athletically. This research assessed the impact that Title IX has had in the Pac-12 Conference in the development of women’s intercollegiate athletics within the male-dominated world of sports and how female and male athletes have been impacted by Title IX implementation....
The bioavailability of vitamin B₆ in four selected foods
(bananas, filberts, soybeans and beef) was determined in five men,
aged 22 to 25 years, who were saturated with pyridoxine. The study
consisted of a five-day adjustment period followed by a 28-day experimental
period. All subjects consumed a constant diet containing...
MOCNESS plankton tows, sediment traps and sedimentary material are used to determine
the linkage between bio-physical forcing and foraminiferal response over a range of time
scales from the event scale to the glacial interglacial cycle. The annually averaged planktic
foraminiferal fauna of the modem California Current is a diverse community...
This study concerns the use of a discrete-event
simulation model for analyzing the production of a
mechanized forest harvest system. The simulation models a
field collection data set of a harvester-forwarder system
which was previously collected by the Forest Engineering
Department of Oregon State University. The computer
software consisted of...
