The hump-shaped relationship that predicts highest species richness (species/unit area) at intermediate levels of productivity was examined for woody plants across the Pacific and Inland Northwest of the U.S. Many studies have examined this relationship at regional scales, but commonly use species range maps and surrogate measures of productivity (e.g....
As a result of the calls for reform in mathematics education and the ever-changing nature of mathematics, today's teachers face the challenge of teaching unfamiliar content in ways that are equally unfamiliar. In view of this challenge, the purpose of this study was to investigate middle school teachers' subject matter...
Recently there has been a large amount of research into basic human movement as a baseline for robotic motion. Robotic grasping is a challenging problem for a number of reasons. One of which is that it is difficult to accurately know the interaction between the hand and the object, especially...

A technique is presented for obtaining high resolution root locus plots and
Bode diagrams. This is done by translating the origin of coordinates to the area
of interest by an appropriate change of variable. The method is applicable to
hand calculations or use of a potential analog computer.
Examples include...
Trifluralin (a, a, a - trifluoro -2, 6 -dinitro-N, N-dipropyl-ptoluidine)
is effective in controlling downy brome (Bromus tectorum
L.) and wild oat (Avena fatua L.) but does not severely affect the
growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Studies were conducted
using germination chamber and greenhouse facilities to investigate
possible factors...
The end of the Cold War brought about changes within international political relations that resulted in expanded interest in global civil society. Such developments, like globalization and democratization, have encouraged the growth of social and political organizations. Political scientists have found that these inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations have a significant...

The development of analytical methods for emerging contaminants creates many unique challenges for analytical chemists. By their nature, emerging contaminants have inherent data gaps related to their environmental occurrence, fate, and impact. This dissertation is a compilation of three studies related to method development for the structural identification of emerging...
