MUIR Studies of nonlinear ionospheric interactions at HAARP
… co-located Modular UHF Incoherent scatter Radar (MUIR). High frequency heating of the ionosphere produced plasma wave decay processes, the signatures of which were received by MUIR and interpreted with spectral analysis in MATLAB. The most commonly observed decay scheme was that of the Parametric …

"An Insect View of its Plain": Nature and Insects in Thoreau, Dickinson, and Muir
… Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, and John Muir incorporate insects into their work. This study explores three interrelated issues connected to encounters with and explorations of the microscopic and unacknowledged position of insects in nature: first, how insects factor into their growing …

A Multidimensional Characterization of MUIR Backscatter Spectra Resulting from Ionospheric Heating Experiments Performed at HAARP
… Through the use of the HAARP HF array and the MUIR UHF radar, we observed cascade (LDI), collapse (cavitons), parametric decay lines (PDI), outshifted plasma lines (OPL), overshoot, and artificial field aligned irregularities (AFAI), as well as some features that have not been previously …

Excitation of forced ion acoustic waves, large plasma sheets, and magnetic field fluctuations over Gakona, Alaska
… that "Forced ion acoustic waves" detected by MUIR radar on Oct. 29 during 6:20-6:30 UT arise from keV electron precipitation associated with the occurrence of green aurora. Our work shows, for the first time, that MUIR radar is suitable for probing naturally occurring space plasma processes …

Biology and ecological energetics of the supralittoral isopod Ligia dilatata
… and ecological energetics (Greenwood, 1974; Muir, 1977; Shafir, 1978; Dieckmann, 1978; Griffiths and King, 1978). A feature of the kelp bed system is that large masses of plant material are exported due to the heavy wave action experienced (Field et al., 1977; Velimirov et al., 1977). …

Q-Continued Fractions and Related Q-Series
… of Ramanujan's lost notebook by using the Bauer-Muir transformation and by using the method of successive approximation. Also, we prove several continued fractions of Ramanujan which are related to the odd parts of continued fractions.

Origin and fate of organic matter in South-West Australian wetlands
… system of wetlands with peal soils occurs in the Muir-Unicup region in the far south west of Western Australia. Bokarup Swamp, Kodjinup Swamp and Noobijup Lake are representative of the wetlands occurring in this region. They arc shallow (

Mystics, Radicals, Sinners, and Saints: Freedom, Rebirth, and the American West
This dissertation explores the lives of John Muir, the Taos Society of Artists, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Everett Ruess, Edith Warner, and the Taos hippies who journeyed to the American West in search of freedom. In the Western setting, with its diverse yet distinctive and stunning terrain, these …
