Coastal upwelling regimes are some of the most productive ecosystems in the ocean but are also among the most vulnerable to ocean acidification (OA) due to naturally high background concentrations of CO₂. Yet our ability to predict how these ecosystems will respond to additional CO₂ resulting from anthropogenic emissions is...

Continental margin carbon cycling is complex, highly variable over a range of space and time scales, and forced by multiple physical and biogeochemical drivers. Predictions of globally significant air–sea CO₂ fluxes in these regions have been extrapolated based on very sparse data sets. We present here a method for predicting...
There is a significant amount of research analyzing the effect of race, gender, and other common demographical data on student interest and performance in computer science. However, there is relatively little research concerning less common demographic populations, such as introverts, artistic students, and visual learners. This study investigates if these...
This paper presents a critical analysis of the provisions of the WTO agreements and jurisprudence as they relate to the use of trade-related measures in support of cooperative fisheries management arrangements. The interpretation given to WTO agreements by successive Panels and Appellate Bodies has provided guidance regarding how such measures...
Truckload carriers operating under a Point-To-Point (PtP) dispatching method seek to minimize miles driven with empty loads. This results in driving tours keeping drivers away from their homes for weeks at a time causing high turnover rates industry wide. One proposed solution combines Relay Network dispatching with existing PtP. This...
Hart Mountain is a basaltic fault block mountain
in the semi-desert region of the northern Basin and Range
province in south-central Oregon. Geomorphic processes
associated with lingering snowpatches have formed nivation
hollows, which are small scale depressions in the hillsides.
The lingering snow in the hollows prohibits shrub
growth. Bedrock...
Multi-layer optically coupled scintillation based radiation detectors, known as phoswich detectors, have rapidly evolved in recent years. During the same time, digital signal processing has improved radiation discrimination accuracy and enhanced reliability, while reducing complexity and size of traditional analog signal processing methods. A new generation of high-speed radiation detectors...
Demographic characteristics of juvenile Dover sole
(Microstomus pacificus) were examined in relation to
physical and biotic factors to develop a hypothesis
explaining annual variations in recruitment. Surveys were
conducted along the Oregon continental shelf at depths
between 50-400 m bimonthly during 1989 and annually (in
March) between 1990 and 1993....
