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...
Interspecific hybridization between Phaseolus vulgaris and P.
coccineus results in the formation of either mature F₁ seeds or abnormal
embryos, depending on the direction of the cross. However, normal as
well as abnormal embryos occur in the reciprocal F₂ populations. The
exact cause of abnormal embryo development is unknown. To...
Power planning efforts in Oregon require accurate information
about hydroelectric potential. Potential uses for Geographic Information
Systems (GISs) are being investigated by three Oregon planning agencies.
This paper presents a method in which a 616 is used to help identify and
reduce uncertainty in previous hydroelectric inventories. Uncertainty with
respect...
