This research was designed to measure total water-soluble organic N, as well as the contribution of urea and dissolved free amino acids, in rain, aerosols, and ice cores collected from a variety of global locations. In addition to site-specific studies, a UV photo-oxidation meth…
The seventeenth century was an incredibly fascinating time for art in England developmentally, especially because most of the artists that were receiving the commissions from English patrons and creating the art weren’t English, they were Dutch. Over this one hundred year period…
The decline in biodiversity over the last decade has motivated researchers to investigate the relationship between species richness (biodiversity) and ecosystem function. Empirical approaches are becoming more realistic as more factors have been included. Spatial heterogeneity i…
Durability of the composite materials in marine environments has been investigated experimentally and with analytical and numerical methods. The main focus of this study is on the integrity of the fiber/matrix interface under seawater exposure. A single-fiber compression test sp…
Southeast Asia is well-known for its high biodiversity which is largely due to its complex geological history and present day oceanographic conditions. Fluctuating sea level during the Pleistocene resulted in exposure of land masses in relatively shallow water and isolation of m…
Complex ecological processes determine whether and how fish species survive in the ocean. For some fishes such as Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), these processes are thoroughly studied and modeled. For eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus), however, these processes are more myst…
