Given the vital role of forest ecosystems in landscape pattern and process, it is important to quantify the effects, feedbacks, and uncertainties associated with forest disturbance dynamics. In western North America, insects and wildfires are both...

Dust deposition on ecosystems with highly weathered soils may provide vital rock-derived nutrients that maintain ecosystem productivity. Because of the difficulties in measuring temporally and spatially heterogeneous dust deposition over...

BACKGROUND: The oxidative stress theory of life-history tradeoffs states that oxidative stress caused by damaging
free radicals directly underpins tradeoffs between reproduction and longevity by altering the allocation of energetic
resources...

In this paper, we propose a credit-based resource allocation technique for dynamic spectrum access (DSA) systems that is robust against malicious and selfi sh behaviors and ensures good overall system fairness performance while also allowing...

Studies of nutrient limitation in Douglas-fir forests of the Pacific Northwest focus predominantly on
nitrogen, yet many stands demonstrate negligible or even negative growth response to nitrogen fertilization.
To understand what nutrients other...

Convergent evolution is common throughout the tree of life, but the molecular mechanisms
causing similar phenotypes to appear repeatedly are obscure. Yeasts have arisen in multiple
fungal clades, but the genetic causes and consequences of their...

The enhanced optical nonlinearity enabled by localized
plasmonic fields has been well studied for all-optical switching processing
(AOSP) devices for future optical communication systems. In this work,
plasmonic photonic crystals with a nonlinear...

Reducing the weight and decreasing pressure losses of aviation gas turbine engines
improves the thrust-to-weight ratio and improves efficiency. In ultra-compact combustors
(UCC), engine length is reduced and pressure losses are decreased by...

Research in warm-climate biomes has shown
that invasion by symbiotic dinitrogen (N₂)-fixing plants can
transform ecosystems in ways analogous to the transformations
observed as a consequence of anthropogenic, atmospheric
nitrogen (N) deposition:...

Depletion-Based Stock Reduction Analysis (DB-SRA; Dick and MacCall, 2011) is a catch-only fisheries stock assessment model that has been developed to estimate an overfishing limit (OFL) in data-poor situations. DB-SRA projects the biomass...

Spatial resolution fiber-optic cables allow for detailed observation of thermally complex heterogeneous
hydrologic systems. A commercially produced high spatial resolution helically wound optic fiber
sensing cable is employed in the Dead Sea, in...

The current work sought to develop predictive
models between time-weighted average polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations in the freely dissolved
phase and those present in resident aquatic organisms. We
deployed semipermeable...

Field studies were conducted in 2008 and 2009 in
Aberdeen, ID, Ontario, OR, and Paterson, WA to determine
the effect of simulated glyphosate drift on ‘Ranger Russet’
potato during the application year and the crop growing the
next year from the...
