Understanding the relative influence of fuels and climate on wildfires across the Rocky Mountains is necessary to predict how fires may respond
to a changing climate and to define effective fuel management approaches to controlling wildfire in this increasingly populated region. The idea
that decades of fire suppression have promoted...
The effect of the Coriolis interaction upon the sharing of energy between rotational and vibrational excitation
during an electronic transition is considered with particular emphasis on recoil-induced excitation during
photoionization. If there is a large change in equilibrium bond length upon ionization, then Coriolis coupling
leads to a significant transfer...

The electric motor has for an number of
years occupied an important position in the operation
of wood-working machinery, of moderate capacity, for
example the planing mills, sash and door factories
and many of the other similar wood working shops.
However its adoption in the more trying field of saw...
This thesis presents the results of two studies that investigate the question of what interruption-styles are most appropriate for end-user programmers who are debugging programs. In the studies, end-user programmers are presented with surprises that encourage them to investigate, use, and learn about debugging devices in their programming environment. We...
The sea as a dynamic conducting medium interacts continually
with the earth' s magnetic field. The physical principles underlying
this interaction are reviewed. These results are applied to the
particular problem of towed electrodes at the sea surface. Data
using this method are then shown to be sensitive to stability...
Number of harbor seals, counted on 32 haul-out areas in Oregon, increased by 6 - 8.8 % per year from 1975 - 1983. Percent of seals in bays has increased an average 1.8%/year, from 47% in 1975 to 61% in 1983. Along the central Oregon coast, harbor seals were most...
Incubation experiments with an acid poorly drained soil have
shown that the application of neutral soluble salts influenced the level
of extractable Mn. The application of a salt which lowered the soil
pH either increased the extractable Mn or retarded the oxidation
and/or fixation of extractable Mn. This effect was...
