Wave energy converters (WECs) are a broad class of emerging technology that converts hydrokinetic energy into some other useful form, such as electricity. The last stage in this transformation, the power take-off (PTO) subsystem, is often not experimentally evaluated until half-way through the recommended development process. This delay in evaluation...
Wave energy converter (WEC) devices are complicated systems containing hydrodynamic, mechanical, and electrical elements. WEC design efforts are primarily focused in the time-domain, using frequency-based energy analyses and numerical problem solving approaches that are staples in hydrodynamic design efforts to form the basic information set used in these time-domain development...
As data-driven science becomes the norm, academic libraries face the challenge of redefining our roles in information management. We suggest that developing a robust, high-quality education program centered on data management should be a top priority for libraries at all academic research institutions. Strategically positioning the library in the role...

Previous research had identified four serogroups of Rhizobium trifolii
indigenous to Abiqua soil (fine, mixed, mesic, Cumulic Ultic Haploxerolls).
Nodulation of subterranean clover (Trifolium, subterraneum L.) by two of the
serogroups, 6 and 36, was influenced by the application of CaC0₃ to the soil.
The studies described in this thesis...
With the recent interest in increasing the penetration of renewable energy sources onto the power grid, there has been an unprecedented rapid deployment of wind generation, especially in the US Pacific Northwest. While wind farm developers have continued to expand their operations, power system operators are left to deal with...
The purpose of this investigation is to explore research management
problems pertaining to types of research where direct outputs are
in terms of intangible ideas or the kind of knowledge which takes years
to be proven applicable or economically fruitful.
The study was based on the analysis of the more...
Interest in renewable energy is on the rise, in both grid-connected operations and research projects. Major types of renewable energy include: wind, solar, wave, tidal, biomass, and geothermal. The majority are variable, non-dispatchable sources, which can have a negative impact on reserve requirements. This study focused on determining the optimal...
Over the past two decades, the western United States has experienced many of the costliest and most severe wildfires in history. To mitigate the effects of the growing threats posed by wildfires, residents in at-risk communities are encouraged to protect their homes and property by adopting Firewise recommendations. This article...
