We report the construction of a three-dimensional template bank for the search for gravitational waves
from inspiralling binaries consisting of spinning compact objects. The parameter space consists of two
dimensions describing the mass parameters and one “reduced-spin” parameter, which describes the secular
(nonprecessing) spin effects in the waveform. The template...
The magnitude, seasonality, and duration of peak discharge responses to forest removal and regrowth and roads in 10 pairs of experimental basins in the western Cascade Range of Oregon are consistent with fundamental water balance and routing concepts in hydrology. Hypothesized effects of forestry treatments on evapotranspiration, cloud water interception,...
A fiber’s efficiency in a short-fiber composite can be accurately solved by shear-lag methods, which can account for fiber geometry, an imperfect interface (or interphase), and extend to low volume fractions. Such an analysis was used to evaluate the aspect ratio requirements for single-walled nanotubes (SWNT) in a polymeric composite...
The study examined marketing of smoked fish in Ondo State, Nigeria. It specifically examined socio-economic characteristics of the respondents, determined the profitability of smoked fish marketing and examined the market structure for smoked fish in the study area. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 84 smoked fish marketers...
The study examined profitability of aquaculture production in Ondo State, Nigeria. Specifically, it examined socio-economic characteristics of the respondents and determined costs and returns of the respondents. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 96 respondents and structured questionnaire administered on them. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics...
