About twenty years ago, a large, rural, doctoral granting institution with an undergraduate population of approximately 24,000 in the pacific northwest of the United States established the Math Excel program. Students would attend lectures three times a week for 50 minutes like a traditional course, and they would also attend...
Wood plays a key role in modern electrical infrastructure; crossarms and power poles utilize the high strength to weight ratio, availability and low cost of wood to facilitate the access of power to millions of Americans. However, wood presents a variety of challenges as a material. In structural applications, one...
This thesis presents a novel approach for propagation of uncertainty in river systems. Errors in data observations and predictions (e.g., stream inflows), in model parameters, and resulting from the discretization of continuous systems, all point to the need to accurately quantify the amount of uncertainty carried through the modeling process....
Only very recently has modern technology been applied
to the design of the tennis racket. In fact, the tennis
player of a few hundred years ago would easily recognize
today's racket. Although the literature reveals a surprising
number of studies on racket mechanics, little work has been
reported on the...
We present a spatially extensive record of dinitrogen (N₂) fixation rates and distributions
of N₂ fixing microorganisms along with the results of exogenous phosphorus (P) addition experiments
conducted during a series of cruises in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG). We measured the
N₂ and carbon (C) fixation rates of...
Cold air drainage and pooling occur in many mountain valleys, especially at night and during winter. Local
climate regimes associated with frequent cold air pooling have substantial impacts on species phenology, distribution and
diversity. However, little is known about how the degree and frequency of cold air drainage and pooling...
