The Alaska wild salmon industry has gone through a period of low prices and changing markets in the past two decades. Average exvessel prices have dropped from $1.46 per pound in 1988 to $0.35 per pound in 2005, due in ...
A survey was distributed to 174 railroads throughout the United States and selected foreign countries. The purpose of the survey was to determine which methods of vegetation control were used along railroad rights-of-way. ...
The Alaska wild salmon industry has been in economic turmoil for many years. Plagued by increased production of farmed salmon, wholesale and ex-vessel prices for nearly all Alaska wild salmon species and products are at ...
In today's competitive business environment, reducing operating cost means dollars to the bottom line. One way that a drilling company can reduce operating cost is by optimizing energy use at the mud pumps. The mud pumps ...
The objective of this project was to evaluate the economic feasibility of producing the upper C sand of the Prudhoe Bay Unit L Pad gas-hydrate-bearing reservoir. The analysis is based on numerical modelling of production ...
The Alaska North Slope is a potential candidate for the Gas to Liquid (GTL) technology. With over 38 TCF of natural gas reserves stranded on the Alaska North Slope, the GTL technology is considered as a possible method of ...

Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, our atmosphere has continued to experience increased levels of CO₂ concentrations and with it, changes in seawater carbonate chemistry. These changes in the carbonate chemistry ...
The reindeer industry has persisted on the Seward Peninsula in western Alaska for more than 100 years. Since the mid 1990's the industry has been increasingly threatened by changes in Western Arctic Caribou Herd (WACH) ...
The proven natural gas reserves of the Alaska North Slope (ANS) have enormous potential as clean-burning energy resources, if they can be effectively and efficiently utilized. These gas resources, exceeding 35 trillion ...
Natural abundance ¹³C/¹²C ratios provide a tracer for the origin of organic carbon in complex coastal marine food-webs and also appear to be useful for examining trophic organization and food transfer efficiencies in more ...
This project describes a method for edge detection in images. We develop a Bayesian approach for edge detection, using a process convolution model. Our method has some advantages over the classical edge detector, Sobel ...
This research project set out to identify those factors that are likely to lead to effective and meaningful collaboration among a broad range of stakeholders wishing to collaborate to improve health in rural communities. ...
Weight loss and ill thrift are common problems encountered in muskox calves raised in captivity. Varied diagnostic results suggest that there is immunosuppression possibly related to trace mineral intake. This experiment ...
A simulation study on the effects of capillary pressure on methane gas recovery from methane hydrates was conducted using STOMP-HYD. Four stimulation recovery methods were examined in the study; thermal stimulation, ...
The Gulf of Alaska Mooring (GAK1) monitoring data set is an irregular time series of temperature and salinity at various depths in the Gulf of Alaska. One approach to analyzing data from an irregular time series is to ...
European researchers (Anderson, Chambers, Myhre, Nicholson, & Stone, 1984) at 69 degrees north latitude, have reported seasonal changes in the human electroencephalogram, EEG. Other researchers from the North American ...
The integrity and dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton is essential for the morphology and motility of neuronal cells both in developing and adult nervous system. Oxidative modification of actin both as monomers and in ...
Methyl farnesoate, a reproductive hormone in crustaceans, was detected for the first time in the hemolymph of female Chionoecetes opilio. Ovigerous crabs were maintained at -1,0, 1, and 3° C to represent near bottom ...
