Observations Of The Eastern Maine Coastal Current And Its Offshore Extensions In 1994, Neal Pettigrew, David Townsend, Huijie Xue, J. P. Wallinga, P. J. Brickley, R. D. Hetland
Marine Sciences Faculty Scholarship
Cold surface temperatures, reflecting Scotian Shelf origins and local tidal mixing, serve as a tracer of the Eastern Maine Coastal Current and its offshore extensions, which appear episodically as cold plumes erupting from the eastern Maine shelf. A cold water plume emanating from the Eastern Maine Coastal Current in May 1994 was investigated using advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) imagery, shipboard surveys of physical and biochemical properties, and satellite-tracked drifters. Evidence is presented that suggests that some of the plume waters were entrained within the cyclonic circulation over Jordan Basin, while the major portion participated in an anticyclonic eddy …

Importance Of Suspended Particulates In Riverine Delivery Of Bioavailable Nitrogen To Coastal Zones, Lawrence M. Mayer, R. G. Keil, S. A. Macko, S. B. Joye, K. C. Ruttenberg, R. C. Aller
Importance Of Suspended Particulates In Riverine Delivery Of Bioavailable Nitrogen To Coastal Zones, Lawrence M. Mayer, R. G. Keil, S. A. Macko, S. B. Joye, K. C. Ruttenberg, R. C. Aller
Marine Sciences Faculty Scholarship
Total nitrogen (TN) loadings in riverine sediments and their coastal depocenters were compared for Il river systems worldwide to assess the potential impact of riverine particulates on coastal nitrogen budgets. Strong relationships between sediment specific surface area and TN allow these impacts to be estimated without the intense sampling normally required to achieve such budgets. About half of the systems showed higher nitrogen loadings in the riverine sediments than those from the coastal depocenter. In spite of uncertainties, these comparisons indicate that large, turbid rivers, such as the Amazon, Huanghe, and the Mississippi, deliver sediments that in turn release significant …
Racial Prejudice And Support By Whites For Police Use Of Force : A Research Note, Steven E. Barkan, Steven F. Cohn
Racial Prejudice And Support By Whites For Police Use Of Force : A Research Note, Steven E. Barkan, Steven F. Cohn
Sociology School Faculty Scholarship
The use of force by police in a democratic society continues to be controversial. Despite the theoretical and practical importance of police use of force, little is known about the sources of public attitudes toward it. Recent research suggests that whites' approval of police use of force may derive partly from racial prejudice against African Americans. In this paper we test this possibility with data from the 1990 General Social Survey and find that negative stereotypes of African Americans contribute to whites' support for police use of excessive force. We also address the theoretical and pragmatic significance of our findings.
Topological Equivalence And Similarity In Multi-Representation Geographic Databases, Joao Argemiro De Carvalho Paiva
Topological Equivalence And Similarity In Multi-Representation Geographic Databases, Joao Argemiro De Carvalho Paiva
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Geographic databases contain collections of spatial data representing the variety of views for the real world at a specific time. Depending on the resolution or scale of the spatial data, spatial objects may have different spatial dimensions, and they may be represented by point, linear, or polygonal features, or combination of them. The diversity of data that are collected over the same area, often from different sources, imposes a question of how to integrate and to keep them consistent in order to provide correct answers for spatial queries. This thesis is concerned with the development of a tool to check …
