The joint probability distribution of wind speeds at two separate locations in space or points in time completely characterizes the statistical dependence of these two quantities, providing more information than linear ...

A new semi‐empirical turbulence parameterization is presented. Key features of the scheme include representation of turbulent diffusivities in terms of the turbulent kinetic energy that is determined by solving a ...

The transition from the end of the Ordovician to the beginning of the Silurian Period is characterized by the glaciation of the Gondwana paleocontinent, eustatic sea level change, a perturbation to the global carbon cycle ...

Chordal graphs are an important class of perfect graphs. The beautiful theory surrounding their study varies from natural applications to elegant characterizations in terms of forbidden subgraphs, subtree representations, ...

This thesis presents an algorithm for producing 4–manifold triangulations with boundary an arbitrary orientable, closed, triangulated 3–manifold. The research is an extension of Costantino and Thurston’s work on determining ...

Dwarf galaxies are powerful tools in the study of galactic evolution. As the most numerous galaxies in the universe, they probe a diverse range of environments: some exist in near-isolation, allowing us to study how a ...

We study construction methods for variance balanced design (VBD) with both uncorrelated and correlated errors, where block designs are used to investigate several treatment effects. We begin with a review for the development ...

Garry oak (Quercus garryana Douglas ex. Hook) is a white oak (Quercus sect. Quercus) with a geographic range extending from southwestern BC to south-central California. It is the only native white oak in BC and Washington, ...

Climate change and introduced species are among the top five threats to freshwater systems face. Tropical regions are considered to be especially sensitive to the effects of climate change, while island systems are more ...

We examine the tides in the Kitikmeot Sea using year-long time-series from moored instrumentation in Dease Strait, and a 3D barotropic numerical tidal model of the region. The in-situ data show strong tidal damping during ...
