 | Silicone biofouling release coatings have been shown to be an effective method of combating fouling. Nearly all silicone foul release coatings are augmented with an oil additive to decrease macrofouling attachment strength. This paper addresses the effect of the type of oil that is incorporated into the silicone coating and the type of silicone coating itself (silica vs calcium carbonate filled) on macrofouling adhesion strengths to the coating. It was ... |

| The presence and approximate rates of deep percolation beneath areas of native vegetation, irrigated fields, and the Amargosa-River channel in the Amargosa Desert of southern Nevada were evaluated using the chloride mass-balance method and inferred downward velocities of chloride and nitrate peaks. Estimates of deep-percolation rates in the Amargosa Desert are needed for the analysis of regional groundwater flow and transport. An understanding of regional flow patterns is important because ... |

| Some procedures for discriminating between earthquakes (Q) and explosions (X) set aside a region of the discrimination parameter space (x) in which no decision is made; this may be called the "unidentified" or "undecided" region, (U). Tile existing statistical literature seems not to explicitly provide any such option, although an undecided region may be rigorously supported by the decision theory literature on "action spaces."

In the experiment performed at the Accelerator Test Facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory, a seed CO2 laser at a wavelength of 1O.6mm produced saturated, amplified FEL output at the second- harmonic ... |
