Spectral Signature Studies For Application In Deer Census Using Remote Sensing Techniques, Maran C. Pate
Spectral Signature Studies For Application In Deer Census Using Remote Sensing Techniques, Maran C. Pate
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This study was performed to determine the spectral signatures of deer and their natural background elements for censusing purposes. Consideration was given to atmospheric transmittance, acceptable flying weather, and terrain. Possible spectral bands between 0.3 and 14.0 μm were obtained (over a pathlength of 1500 feet at an altitude of 5000 feet) based upon atmospheric transmittance using the LOWTRAN 3B computer program. They are: 0.30 - 1.33, 1.49 - 1.79, 2.00 - 2.50, 3.00 - 3.16, 3.38 - 4.10, 4.59 - 5.05, and 8.00 - 13.33 μm, for transmittance greater than 75%. Weather conditions are favorable for flying and taking …
An Evaluation Of In-Stream Structures Designed To Provide Fish Habitat, Charles H. Call Jr.
An Evaluation Of In-Stream Structures Designed To Provide Fish Habitat, Charles H. Call Jr.
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
In-stream concrete structures were studied through model tests and river tests. The model studies indicated that four designs provided good habitat in the model stream. These structures were the inverted weir, the "V" structure, the slab with legs and the cylinder. Through the river studies it was determined that these structures did not influence enough of the total river area to be effective in providing good fish habitat. Also an appreciable amount of yearly maintenance would be required to free the structures from silting in, debris, and vandalism. The slab with legs was the only promising structure.
