Teaching with difference: A response to Angela Calabrese Barton: Teaching science with homeless children: Pedagogy, representation, and identity
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-04)
No abstract.
An epidemiological model of the corn stunt system in Central America
(Elsevier, 1990)
There is increasing appreciation on the part of ecologists of the crucial role that pathogens may play in the structure of plant populations and communities. This study used classic equations of epidemiology to analyze ...
Dynamics of populations with nonoverlapping generations, continuous mortality, and discrete reproductive periods
(Elsevier, 1994-08)
Simple nonlinear difference equations have been used to describe the growth of populations with nonoverlapping generations; these equations assume mortality and recruitment to be discrete and instantaneous. In reality, ...
Development of Bayesian Monte Carlo techniques for water quality model uncertainty
(Elsevier, 1992-07)
A new technique, Bayesian Monte Carlo (BMC), is used to quantify errors in water quality models caused by uncertain parameters. BMC also provides estimates of parameter uncertainty as a function of observed data on model ...
Exposure to strong static magnetic field slows the growth of human cancer cells in vitro
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996)
Proposals to enhance the amount of radiation dose delivered to small tumors with radioimmunotherapy by constraining emitted electrons with very strong homogeneous static magnetic fields has renewed interest in the cellular ...
Comment on “Effects of 60 Hz electromagnetic fields on early growth in three plant species and a replication of previous results” by Mark S. Davies
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1997)
No abstract.
Mapping freeze/thaw boundaries with SMMR data
(Elsevier, 1990-08)
Nimbus 7 SMMR data are used to map daily freeze/thaw patterns in the upper Midwest for the fall of 1984. The combination of a low 37 GHz radiobrightness and a negative 10.7, 18 and 37 GHz spectral gradient, [part]Tb/[part]f, ...
Symbolic Intersect Detection: A Method for Improving Spatial Intersect Joins
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-06)
Due to the increasing popularity of spatial databases, researchers have focused their efforts on improving the query processing performance of the most expensive spatial database operation: the spatial join. While most ...
Simulation of fish population responses to exploitation
(Elsevier, 1991-08)
A model that couples Larkin's predator-prey model, Ivlev's feeding model, Ursin's growth equation and the exponential mortality model was applied for simulation of the responses of fish populations to exploitation. Simulations ...
Effect of oil on recruitment from the seed bank of two tidal freshwater wetlands
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; SPB Academic Publishing bv ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1992-03)
The effect of oil spills on the recruitment of freshwater tidal wetland species was determined using soil seed bank samples collected in early March from two New Jersey Delaware River marshes. Samples were exposed to ...
