Understanding how populations within a species interact across various geographic and temporal scales is fundamental to developing appropriate conservation strategies. I examined the geographic variation in genetic and meristic characters of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) based on
approximately 1,400 fish sampled from 54 populations spanning their distributional range...
This study was an empirical investigation of two methods of
college classroom teaching--lecture and discussion. The design was
both experimental and descriptive, differing from prior methodological
comparisons in that a more sophisticated test statistic was used in
the analysis of the data. Whereas most similar studies used t tests,
or...
The purpose of this study was to statistically evaluate one kind
of new elementary science curriculum materials. The materials;
(1) are written at five reading levels to partially meet the reading
ability spread found in the intermediate grades, (2) provide ways to
stimulate class discussion, and (3) provide three levels...
Two aspects of ADC system performance are addressed in this work. First, the combination of the ADC and its associated reference are co-designed for an energy constrained remote sensing system. Second, sampling linearity is mathematically analyzed as a function of frequency to provide enhanced understanding into an ADC's requisite sampling...
The objectives of this paper are to: (1) describe the structure and output of SHRUB and RMS8O, (2) evaluate their respective ability to satisfy the needs of a state level timber assessment, and (3) demonstrate their application to forest planning using the state of California as the focus of a...
