Spatial And Seasonal Variation In Brook Trout Diet, Growth, And Consumption In A Complex Appalachian Watershed, David W. Thorne
Spatial And Seasonal Variation In Brook Trout Diet, Growth, And Consumption In A Complex Appalachian Watershed, David W. Thorne
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
I quantified brook trout diet, growth, and consumption in the upper Shavers Fork watershed from May 2002--October 2003. Seven study sites were selected to represent small tributary, large tributary, and mainstem habitats within the watershed. The objectives of the study were to determine if diet, growth, and consumption in brook trout were dependent on fish size, season, and location within the watershed. Fish diets were sampled and categorized into six prey type groups to determine variability in prey composition and diet mass. Mark-recapture was used to measure growth in individual fish between sampling seasons and the growth information was then …
Geomorphic Analysis Of Stream Crossings In A Portion Of The Upper Cheat River Basin, Joshua A. White
Geomorphic Analysis Of Stream Crossings In A Portion Of The Upper Cheat River Basin, Joshua A. White
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
An inventory and analysis of culverts as vertebrate migration barriers has been completed in a relatively pristine portion of the Upper Cheat River basin, Randolph and Tucker counties, West Virginia. Investigators in four different disciplines contributed to the project, including the geomorphological research represented by this thesis. This project had an underlying purpose to assess the potential for stream mitigation credits through a possible future stream mitigation banking program.;Several conditions appear correlated with problem culvert sites. Calvin high base substratum-Belmont-Meckesville soil association is associated with the greatest amounts of instability and aggradation at culvert sites. Three-quarters of the study area …
Information Dissemination By Compounding, Bohe (Bob) Wang
Information Dissemination By Compounding, Bohe (Bob) Wang
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Gossiping and broadcasting are two problems of information dissemination. In gossiping, every point in the network knows a unique item of information and needs to communicate it to all other points. Most of the recent interest in gossiping is due to its importance in the area of network communications and other areas of parallel and distributed computing.;Determining precisely the values of the minimum number of edges in a gossip graph is known to be a very hard problem. Very few values are known in the general case. G. Fertin and R. Labahn[Fer00],[FL00] used the k-way compounding method to construct gossip …
Yield, Pest Density, And Tomato Flavor Effects Of Companion Planting In Garden-Scale Studies Incorporating Tomato, Basil, And Brussels Sprout, Michael K. Bomford
Yield, Pest Density, And Tomato Flavor Effects Of Companion Planting In Garden-Scale Studies Incorporating Tomato, Basil, And Brussels Sprout, Michael K. Bomford
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Companion planting is a small-scale intercropping practice often associated with organic or biodynamic gardening. Two garden-scale studies tested popular companion planting claims by comparing garden beds devoted entirely to one of three or more test crops (monocultures) to all possible two-crop mixtures (dicultures) of the same species. A third study evaluated effects of planting density and crop ratio in three dicultures using a novel experimental design to create gradients in both factors. All studies incorporated basil ( Ocimum basilicum L.), Brussels sprout (Brassica oleracea L.), and tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.). A preliminary study also included snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), …
Depositional Environments, Age, And Regional Correlation Of The Black Hand Sandstone Member Of The Cuyahoga Formation And The Lower Mississippian Of The Central Appalachians, David L. Matchen
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
The Black Hand Sandstone Member of the Cuyahoga Formation of Ohio is a multistory, conglomeratic sandstone. Primary lithofacies include trough and planar crossbedded sandstones and massive gravels. The contact between the Black Hand and the surrounding Cuyahoga Formation is sharp and scoured indicating that the contact is an unconformity and sequence boundary. The Black Hand was deposited in a low-sinuosity braided stream within an incised valley system. The river that deposited the Black Hand flowed northward. The Lower Mississippian is subdivided into two sequences.;The age of the Lower Mississippian was determined by surveying the existing literature. Data from the surrounding …
Optical Measurement Of Ash Particle Size And Velocity In Gas-Solid Flow, Ming Zhang
Optical Measurement Of Ash Particle Size And Velocity In Gas-Solid Flow, Ming Zhang
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
The objective of this research is the development of an image acquisition and processing prototype system, and its application to measuring the size and velocity distribution of moving particles in a gas-solid environment. The prototype system consists of a digital image acquisition module and MATLAB RTM image-processing module. Two specific applications were conducted. The first is the measurement of ash particle characteristics during surface regeneration of a candle filter system under room and elevated temperatures. The second application is on-line measurement of particle separation in a simulated Circulating Fluid Bed (CFB) riser system. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of …
Topics In Media: Video Gaming As A Cultural Practice, Katrina Mcneely Farren
Topics In Media: Video Gaming As A Cultural Practice, Katrina Mcneely Farren
Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports - Open
Welcome to Topics in Media: Video Gaming as a Cultural Practice. This project and resulting course grew out of an intense apprehension I have had about the gaming practices of my 11 year-old sons, both avid gamers who like to spend every waking hour playing video games on their PlayStation, computer, or Xbox. They began their gaming career at the age of 4 installing and playing educational games on the computer, but as they have grown older, their preferred genre of gaming has become first-person shooter (FPS) games, all of which tend to be intense and violent in nature. As …
