In an open fishery, the competition for the limited fish stock can lead fishermen to a ``race for fish" with sub-optimally high capital investments. Buyback programs to reduce excess capacity in national fisheries have been often used, but seldom...

Fusarium solani is a chronic disease that causes root rot which affects bean production worldwide. Recently, a QTL map was generated which identified several SNPs which were found to be associated with resistance to the pathogen. To be useful in...

We consider solutions to the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes and Euler equations for which velocity and vorticity are bounded in the plane. We show that for every T > 0, the Navier-Stokes velocity converges in L∞([0,T]; L∞(R²)) as...

We develop the idea of risk transmission from large wildfires and apply network analyses to understand
its importance on a 0.75 million ha US national forest. Wildfires in the western US frequently burn over
long distances (e.g., 20-50 km) through...

For every finitely generated abelian group G, we construct an irreducible
open 3-manifold M[subscript G] whose end set is homeomorphic to a Cantor set and
whose homogeneity group is isomorphic to G. The end homogeneity group
is the group of...

Infestation by onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman, was determined on
transplants of onion (Allium cepa L.) received in Colorado during March and April
from out-of-state sources (Imperial Valley, CA; near Phoenix, AZ; and southern
Texas) during...

Vibrio tubiashii is reported to be a bacterial pathogen of larval Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) and Pacific oysters (Crassostrea
gigas) and has been associated with major hatchery crashes, causing shortages in seed oysters for commercial...

African rue is a poisonous, perennial forb that readily invades salt-desert shrub and sagebrush-steppe rangelands.
Information detailing options for integrated management of African rue is lacking. To date, a few studies have
researched the...

Despite limited success, today’s information retrieval (IR) systems are not intelligent and
reliable. IR systems return poor search results when users formulate their information
needs into incomplete or ambiguous queries (i.e., weak queries)....

ITQ systems generate ITQ prices. For any given ITQ-managed species there are typically two prices. One is for the annual (or seasonal) quota, the other is for the longer lasting ITQ-share. In well-functioning ITQ markets, these prices reveal...

Calcium oxalate (Ca oxalate) is an insoluble biomineral that forms in plants and fungi, and occurs in soils
across many types of ecosystems. Assessing how Ca oxalate may shape ecosystem Ca cycling requires
information on the distribution of Ca...
