Wearable electronic devices are becoming increasingly widespread and are being used to fulfill a variety of needs. These devices range from purely infotainment type systems such as smartwatches and fitness oriented devices to specialized medical devices such as insulin pumps and heart-rate monitors. A challenge faced with all of these...
School systems have an important responsibility to continuously
examine and review their educational programs to determine if the
programs satisfy the needs of the youth they serve. Systematically
collected data derived from former and present students can enable
the school system to appraise its effectiveness in fulfilling the aim

A descriptive model of the routing of sediment that was
delivered to the study area by the 1980 eruptions of Mount St.
Helens has been developed. On hillslopes this sediment was
distributed among three major storage compartments: 1) the tephra
profile, 2) primary storage, and 3) secondary storage. The most...
The mechanisms of pool maintenance were investigated in a small (width = 10 m,
drainage area = 18 km2), gravel-bed stream where pools are commonly associated with
large, in-channel obstructions. Measurements of boundary shear stress, scour and fill of
the stream bed, and bedload transport rate and grain-size distribution were...
Time series of coastal sea level during 1976–77, from 2°12′S to 17°S along the west coast of South America, show that low-frequency, ω < 0.25 cycles per day (cpd), fluctuations propagate poleward with the phase speed of baroclinic Kelvin waves (2–3 m s⁻¹). The alongshore coherence is highest in the...
As part of the Peru Currents study, CTD observations were made off the
coasts of Peru and Ecuador between 3°N and 17°S from the R/V Wecoma,
February-March 1983 and March-April 1985, and from the R/V Endeavor,
November-December 1983 and April-May 1984. Repeated CTD sections were
occupied within 300 km of...
