X-ray based tree ring analyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In this thesis, two x-ray based dendro-analyses (batch-wise microdensitometry and energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF)) and the conditions under which these methods could be used on the two typical boreal conifers Norway spruce (Picea abies (L ...

Detecting a rotation in the epsilon Eridani debris disc

open access: yes, 2006
The evidence for a rotation of the epsilon Eridani debris disc is examined. Data at 850 micron wavelength were previously obtained using the Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) over periods in 1997-1998 and 2000-2002.

Tree ring study of Cordia alliodora (Ruiz & Pav.) in Colombia

open access: yesColombia Forestal, 2016
Cordia alliodora has a high ecological and economical value in the dry forest of Colombia. We documented the relationship between tree growth and climate variables (total annual precipitation, mean annual temperature) and the southern oscillation index ...

Handling Network Partitions and Mergers in Structured Overlay Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Structured overlay networks form a major class of peer-to-peer systems, which are touted for their abilities to scale, tolerate failures, and self-manage. Any long-lived Internet-scale distributed system is destined to face network partitions. Although

Using longitudinal survival probabilities to test field vigour estimates in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Tree mortality is a major force driving forest dynamics. To foresters, however, tree mortality is often considered a loss in productivity. To reduce tree mortality, silvicultural systems, such as selection cuts, aim at removing trees that are more likely

Laser Photoacoustic Detection of CO2 in Old Disc Tree-Rings

open access: yesSensors, 2010
A homemade CO2–laser photoacoustic spectrometer has been used for monitoring CO2 in gas samples extracted under vacuum from the wood of old spruce disc tree-rings for a ~60 year series.
