Ecogeochemistry Of The Subsurface Food Web At Ph 0–2.5 In Iron Mountain, California, U.S.A., Eleanora I. Robbins, Teresa M. Rodgers, Charles N. Alpers, D. Kirk Nordstrom Jan 2000

Ecogeochemistry Of The Subsurface Food Web At Ph 0–2.5 In Iron Mountain, California, U.S.A., Eleanora I. Robbins, Teresa M. Rodgers, Charles N. Alpers, D. Kirk Nordstrom

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

Pyrite oxidation in the underground mining environment of Iron Mountain, California, has created the most acidic pH values ever reported in aquatic systems. Sulfate values as high as 120 000 mg 1-1 and iron as high as 27600mg 1-1 have been measured in the mine water, which also carries abundant other dissolved metals including Al, Zn, Cu, Cd, Mn, Sb and Pb. Extreme acidity and high metal concentrations apparently do not preclude the presence of an underground acidophilic food web, which has developed with bacterial biomass at the base and heliozoans as top predators. Slimes, oil-like films, flexible …

Rocky Mountain Wolf Recovery 2000 Annual Report Jan 2000

Rocky Mountain Wolf Recovery 2000 Annual Report

Rocky Mountain Wolf Recovery: Annual Reports

Gray wolf populations (Canis lupus) were extirpated from the western U.S. by the 1930s. Subsequently, wolves from Canada occasionally dispersed south into Montana and Idaho but failed to survive long enough to reproduce. Public attitudes toward predators changed and wolves received legal protection with the passage of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1973. Wolves began to successfully recolonize northwest Montana in the early 1980s. By 1995, 6 packs lived entirely in northwestern Montana. In 1995 and 1996, 66 wolves from southwestern Canada were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park (YNP) (31 wolves) and central Idaho (35 wolves).

Surface Composition Of MnXCo1-XO Solid Solutions By X-Ray Photoelectron And Auger Spectroscopies, Marjorie Langell, F. Gevrey, M. W. Nydegger Jan 2000

Surface Composition Of MnXCo1-XO Solid Solutions By X-Ray Photoelectron And Auger Spectroscopies, Marjorie Langell, F. Gevrey, M. W. Nydegger

Marjorie A. Langell Publications

Auger and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies have been used to study the surface composition of MnxCo1-xO (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) solid solutions. The polycrystalline materials, which are bulk homogeneous, present clear signs of deviation in surface composition at xbulk ≈ 0.2–0.4 to become surface-enriched in manganese at the expense of the cobalt. Whether on stoichiometric or cobalt-depleted surfaces, cobalt retains the characteristic XPS 2p satellite structure and binding energies of the rock salt monoxide (CoO or MnxCo1-xO) environment. Manganese 2p XP spectra are appropriately monoxide-like for the stoichiometric surfaces …

Mirroring And Mimicking Of Partial Cross Sections In The Vicinity Of A Resonance, Chien-Nan Liu, Anthony F. Starace Jan 2000

Mirroring And Mimicking Of Partial Cross Sections In The Vicinity Of A Resonance, Chien-Nan Liu, Anthony F. Starace

Anthony F. Starace Publications

We review recent analytical work on mirroring and mimicking behavior of resonance profiles in different partial cross sections. This work is related to the work of Fano and Cooper on resonance profiles in total cross sections and that of Starace on resonance profiles in partial cross sections. Applications of the new theories (describing mirroring and mimicking behavior) to recent experimental measurements and theoretical predictions for photoionization, photodetachment, and Auger spectroscopy in the vicinity of resonance structures are discussed.

Nutrients In Groundwaters Of The Conterminous United States, 1992-1995, Bernard Nolan, Jeffrey Stoner Jan 2000

Nutrients In Groundwaters Of The Conterminous United States, 1992-1995, Bernard Nolan, Jeffrey Stoner

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

Results of a national water quality assessment indicate that nitrate is detected in 71% of groundwater samples, more than 13 times as often as ammonia, nitrite, organic nitrogen, and orthophosphate, based on a common detection threshold of 0.2 mg/L. Shallow groundwater (typically 5 m deep or less) beneath agricultural land has the highest median nitrate concentration (3.4 mg/L), followed by shallow groundwater beneath urban land (1.6 mg/L) and deeper groundwater in major aquifers (0.48 mg/L). Nitrate exceeds the maximum contaminant level, 10 mg/L as nitrogen, in more than 15% of groundwater samples from 4 of 33 major aquifers commonly used …

A Rate-Based End-To-End Multicast Congestion Control Protocol, Sherlia Shi, Marcel Waldvogel Jan 2000

A Rate-Based End-To-End Multicast Congestion Control Protocol, Sherlia Shi, Marcel Waldvogel

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

Current reliable multicast protocols do not have scalable congestion control mechanisms and this deficiency leads to concerns that multicast deployment may endanger stability of the network. In this paper, we present a sender-based approach for multicast congestion control targeted towards reliable bulk data transfer. We assume that there are a few bottleneck links in a large scale multicast group at any time period and these bottlenecks persist long enough to be identified and adapted to. Our work focus on dynamically identifying the worst congested path in the multicast tree and obtaining TCP-friendly throughput on this selected path. We device novel …

On Maintaining Group Membership Data In Ad Hoc Networks, Gruia-Catalin Roman, Qingfeng Huang, Ali Hazemi Jan 2000

On Maintaining Group Membership Data In Ad Hoc Networks, Gruia-Catalin Roman, Qingfeng Huang, Ali Hazemi

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

The design of ad hoc mobile applications often requires the availability of a consistent view of the application state among the participating hosts. Essential to constructing a consistent view is the ability to know what hosts are within proximity of each other, i.e., form a group in support of the particular application. In this paper we propose an algorithm that allows hosts within communication range to maintain a consistent view of the group membership despite movement and frequent disconnections. The novel features of this algorithm are its reliance on location information and a conservative notion of logical connectivity that creates …

Programming Active Networks Using Active Pipes, Ralph Keller, Jeyashankher Ramamirtham, Tilman Wolf, Bernhard Plattner Jan 2000

Programming Active Networks Using Active Pipes, Ralph Keller, Jeyashankher Ramamirtham, Tilman Wolf, Bernhard Plattner

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

Active networks allow customized processing of data traffic within the network which can be used by applications to improve the quality of their sessions. To simplify development of active applications in a heterogeneous environment, we propose active network pipes as a programming abstraction to specify transmission and processing requirements. We describe a routing algorithm that maps application session requirements onto network resources and determines an optimal route through the network transiting all required processing sites. Additionally, we propose a network software architecture to implement the functionality required to support active pipes.

Parallel Fpga Programming Over Backplane Chassis, John Lockwood, Tom Mclaughlin, Tom Chaney, Yuhua Chen, Fred Rosenberger, Alex Chandra, Jon Turner Jan 2000

Parallel Fpga Programming Over Backplane Chassis, John Lockwood, Tom Mclaughlin, Tom Chaney, Yuhua Chen, Fred Rosenberger, Alex Chandra, Jon Turner

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

For systems with a large number of FPGAs, where a design is instantiated across multiple FPGAs in a chassis, an efficient mechanism of programming the FPGA devices is needed. The mechanism described herein allows multiple FPGAs to be programmed across a backplane. Only a single configuration PROM is required to store the configuration for the multiple instances of the design. When the system boots, all FPGAs are programmed in parallel. This design is applicable to any system which contains a multiple board system which has instances of identical FPGA implementations distributed across the boards. Signal integrity of signals is considered.

Biostratigraphic Data (Mammalia And Palynology) From The Upper Miocene İncesu Formation At Düzyayla (Hafik-Sivas, Central Anatolia), Funda Akgün, Tanju Kaya, Ann Forsten, Zeki̇ Atalay Jan 2000

Biostratigraphic Data (Mammalia And Palynology) From The Upper Miocene İncesu Formation At Düzyayla (Hafik-Sivas, Central Anatolia), Funda Akgün, Tanju Kaya, Ann Forsten, Zeki̇ Atalay

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Upper Miocene İncesu formation, widely exposed in Düzyayla (Hafik-Sivas), consists of mudstones, conglomerates, lacustrine limestones and lignite. The İncesu formation overlies the gypsiferous Hafik formation of controversial Middle Miocene or Oligocene ages. The mammalian fauna of the lignite horizon includes Hipparion sp., Ceratotherium neumayri (Osborn), Deinotherium giganteum Kaup, Choerolophodon pentelici (Gaudry & Lartet), Adcrocuta cf. eximia (Roth & Wagner), Oioceros wegneri Andree, Helladotherium duvernoyi Gaudry & Lartet and Microstonyx erymanthius (Roth & Wagner), which indicate a Turolian (Late Miocene) age. The palynological assemblage of the lignite is apparently represented by 27 genera and 39 species. Four genera and four …

The Heuristics Of Intellectual Due Process: A Primer For Triers Of Science, Erica Beecher-Monas Jan 2000

The Heuristics Of Intellectual Due Process: A Primer For Triers Of Science, Erica Beecher-Monas

Law Faculty Research Publications

Scientific evidence is an inescapable facet of modern litigation. The Supreme Court; beginning with the seminal case of Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc, and continuing with General Electric Co. v. Joiner and Kumho Tire Co. v. Carmichael, has instructed federal judges to evaluate the scientific validity of such evidence in determining the evidence's adinissibiliV. In this Article, Professor Erica Beecher-Monas argues that many judges ignore the science component of their "gatekeeping" duties, focusing instead on rules of convenience that have little scientific justification. As a result, size demonstrates that judges reject even scientifically uncontroversial evidence that would have litttlroeu …
