Objective of this study was to compare accuracy of
several travel cost methods, by employing Monte Carlo
simulations in the single site framework. Estimates from
five methods were compared to the "true" travel cost
coefficient and "true" consumer surplus. Each method was
ranked, using the root mean squared error (RMSE)...
Hydrate Ridge is an accretionary thrust ridge located on the lower slope of the central Cascadia convergent margin. Structural mapping based on two-dimensional and three-dimensional multichannel seismic reflection profiles and gridded bathymetry coupled with deep-towed sidescan sonar data and Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) biostratigraphy suggests that seafloor fluid venting patterns...
Oregon's twenty-two smaller port districts have the means to
undertake a variety of community development goals. The activities of
these public bodies extend beyond facilitating maritime commerce and
harbor improvement. A primary responsibility, exemplified by a brief
look at the evolution and contemporary authority of ports in Oregon, is
to...
The purpose of this research was to determine potential job
functions in the food systems industry for implementation with
robots. The research objectives included (1) to isolate job functions
in food systems that should be implemented with robots,
(2) to identify job functions that robot manufacturers believe
robots are technologically...
A good code generator must effectively utilize the registers provided by the target architecture. Although a number of register allocation techniques exist, few address the issues involved in multiple register banks and no known techniques exist for effectively using register banks of the same type that are associated with multiple...
Victoria blight, caused by fungus Cochliobolus victoriae, is a disease originally described on oats and recapitulated on Arabidopsis. Victoria blight is used as a model plant disease that conforms to an inverse gene-for-gene interaction. C. victoriae virulence is dependent upon its production of victorin, a host-specific toxin that induces programmed...
Consider a polygon lying in the Euclidean plane with labeled edge lengths. The moduli space of polygons is the space of all polygons with the same labeled edge lengths, modulo orientation preserving isometries. It is well known that this space is generically a smooth manifold. For certain combinations of edge...
