Vegetation structure on the east flank of Mount Pinatubo was investigated to determine the inventory of species at 15 y post-eruption, then to ascertain environmental variables that have influenced the early patterns of primary succession. Unconstrained and constrained ordination methods were used to determine the influence of spatial, elevation, and substrate patterns on vegetation. Vegetation...

The ascent of Mount Everest (altitude 8,848 m) by two climbers without supplementary oxygen in 1978 was a feat that astonished many physiologists; indeed, measurements of maximal oxygen uptake at lower altitudes suggested that it would be impossible. Data obtained in 1981 at extreme altitudes, including the summit itself, showed that man can tolerate the extreme hypoxia only by an enormous incr...

been handcuffed, interrogated, held in a cell and maltreated by American security staff. This was as a result of landing at Los Angeles International Airport for a brief stay with the incorrect type of visa. With imminent laws insisting that all new passports contain biometric data such as fingerprints and iris scans, worse appears on the way. Many travellers are also desperately hoping Congres...

Mount points" allow more storage to be grafted into tree-structured hierarchical file systems. Administrative tasks use their 10~ltionS, which are tabulated in a file. In our System V U~IX environment, this file was occasionally removed. Getmnt was written to recover the information. Getmnt has had three significant versions. The original version (getmntl) was a highly optimized naive tree trav...

In this paper we present preliminary results of a turbulence monitoring campaign at the Mount John University Observatory using a bread-board based SCIDAR (SCIntillation Detection And Ranging) system. Simultaneous SCIDAR and generalised SCIDAR data are captured and used to quantify the turbulence at the site. Initial results, including estimates of key turbulence parameters, are presented and d...
