  • Surface sediments of the Panama Basin : coarse components

    Creator:
    Kowsmann, Renato O.
    Abstract:
    The abundance and distribution of biogenic, terrigenous and volcanic particles in the Panama Basin are markedly dependent on bottom topography and dissolution of calcite in the deeper parts of the basin. Of the coarse fraction (>62μ), foraminiferal tests and acidic volcanic glass shards are concentrated on the Cocos and Carnegie...

  • Adaptive sampling of spatial point processes

    Creator:
    Thompson, Steven Kirk
    Abstract:
    Adaptive sampling designs are those in which observations made during a survey may be taken into account when selecting the sites for further observations. Increases in survey precision may be achieved through adaptive procedures. The most efficient designs incorporate flexible sample size along with sequential selection of sites. In surveys...

  • Diagnostic tools for overdispersion in generalized linear models

    Creator:
    Ganio-Gibbons, Lisa M.
    Abstract:
    Data in the form of counts or proportions often exhibit more variability than that predicted by a Poisson or binomial distribution. Many different models have been proposed to account for extra-Poisson or extra-binomial variation. A simple model includes a single heterogeneity factor (dispersion parameter) in the variance. Other models that...

  • Current-feedthrough cancellation technique for current-mode T/H circuits

    Creator:
    Young, David Y. W.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, an analysis of the clock-feedthrough effects in switched-current (SI)' circuits will be presented. The clock-feedthrough effects caused by the non-ideal characteristic of MOS switches when they are turned off limit the accuracy of the analog track-and-hold (T/H) circuits. A model to analyze and characterize this effect is...

  • A comparative study of concerns and expectations of coordinators and employers for selected cooperative work experience programs in Oregon community colleges

    Creator:
    Kirsch, Theodore W.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this research was to identify those program elements and their levels of fulfillment in community college cooperative education programs which are essential if the success of an employer's contribution to a student's training is to be reasonably assured. The primary purpose was to determine if statistically significant...
