Identifying relationships between baseflow geochemistry and land use with synoptic sampling and R-mode factor analysis
Karen G. Wayland, David T. Long, David W. Hyndman, Bryan C. Pijanowski, Sarah M. Woodhams, Sheridan K. Haak
2003, Journal of Environmental Quality (32) 180-190
The relationship between land use and stream chemistry is often explored through synoptic sampling of rivers at baseflow conditions. However, baseflow chemistry is likely to vary temporally and spatially with land use. The purpose of our study is to examine the usefulness of the synoptic sampling approach for identifying the relationship between complex land use configurations and stream water quality. This study compares biogeochemical data from three synoptic sampling events representing the temporal variability of baseflow chemistry...

Use of a probabilistic neural network to reduce costs of selecting construction rock
Donald A. Singer, James D. Bliss
2003, Natural Resources Research (12) 135-140
Rocks used as construction aggregate in temperate climates deteriorate to differing degrees because of repeated freezing and thawing. The magnitude of the deterioration depends on the rock's properties. Aggregate, including crushed carbonate rock, is required to have minimum geotechnical qualities before it can be used in asphalt and concrete. In...

Uncertainty in spatially explicit animal dispersal models
Wolf M. Mooij, Donald L. DeAngelis
2003, Ecological Applications (13) 794-805
Uncertainty in estimates of survival of dispersing animals is a vexing difficulty in conservation biology. The current notion is that this uncertainty decreases the usefulness of spatially explicit population models in particular. We examined this problem by comparing dispersal models of three levels of complexity: (1) an event-based binomial model...
