Day-of-week patterns in human activities can be used to examine the ways in which differences in primary emissions result in changes in the rates of photochemical reactions, and the production of secondary pollutants. Data from twelve California Air Resources Board monitoring sites in Sacramento, CA, and the downwind Mountain Counties air basin are analyzed to reveal day of week patterns in ozo...

Effective species management depends on accurate estimates of population size. There are, however, no annual juvenile production for Central Valley spring-run Chinook Salmon (“spring run”), a highly imperiled in California, making it difficult to evaluate status and effectively manage key issues such as entrainment this at water diversions. In recognition critical information gap, we initiated ...

We identify which Frank Miller it was, and speculate on what might have led him to his idea. We also discuss whether or not Mauborgne might have known of Miller’s work, especially via his colleague Pa...
