Carbon Sequestration In Soils On Reforested Coal Mining Sites In Southeastern Kentucky, Alice Jones, Frances Sayler, James Fox Nov 2010

Carbon Sequestration In Soils On Reforested Coal Mining Sites In Southeastern Kentucky, Alice Jones, Frances Sayler, James Fox

Alice Jones

Soil organic carbon was measured at four locations in Eastern Kentucky in order to assess the impact of surface mine reclamation through reforestation on the soil organic carbon pool. Three surface mines reforested under similar procedures 2, 5, and 14 years ago were sampled, along with soil from an undisturbed forest in the area. Soil was sampled from 4 depths, (0-5, 5-10, 10-25 and 25-50 cm) and samples were analyzed by an isotope ratio mass spectrometer for percent carbon and carbon isotopic signature. The Monte Carlo unmixing equation was used to differentiate geogenic carbon from organic carbon at the mine …


Influence Of Job Accessibility On Housing Market Processes: Study Of Spatial Stationarity In The Buffalo And Seattle Metropolitan Areas, Sungsoon Hwang, Jean-Claude Thill Jun 2010

Influence Of Job Accessibility On Housing Market Processes: Study Of Spatial Stationarity In The Buffalo And Seattle Metropolitan Areas, Sungsoon Hwang, Jean-Claude Thill

Sungsoon Hwang

The impact of job accessibility on housing prices is examined in the Buffalo and Seattle metropolitan areas using a hedonic regression modeling framework. Global hedonic regression results show that job accessibility is positively associated with housing price in the two study areas. Local hedonic regression modeling is also conducted to test whether the response of the housing market to job accessibility is spatially stationary. The statistical analysis reveals that the role of job accessibility in the house price-setting process varies locally in each metropolitan area. Empirical challenges with unraveling relationship between transportation and land use, and the policy implications of …

İkinci Lübnan Savaşı: Bir Yeniden Değerlendirme, Murat Yesiltas, Ali Balcı Feb 2010

İkinci Lübnan Savaşı: Bir Yeniden Değerlendirme, Murat Yesiltas, Ali Balcı

Murat Yesiltas

This study attempts to analyze the process and humanitarian costs of Israel’s a thirtyfour-day war against Lebanon in the summer 2006. As it is stressed in many studies about the war, we will underline two points. Firstly, we will argue that the war had already planned before the invasion started and Israel had been waiting an excuse for initiating the war. Secondly, by focusing on the some reports which were published after the war, this study posits that Israel used “collective punishment” as a technique of war against the Lebanese and it suspended international law of war.


Gay And Lesbian Elders: History, Law, And Identity Politics In The United States, Nancy J. Knauer Dec 2009

Gay And Lesbian Elders: History, Law, And Identity Politics In The United States, Nancy J. Knauer

Nancy J. Knauer

The approximately two million gay and lesbian elders in the United States are an underserved and understudied population. At a time when gay men and lesbians enjoy an unprecedented degree of social acceptance and legal protection, many elders face the daily challenges of aging isolated from family, detached from the larger gay and lesbian community, and ignored by mainstream aging initiatives. Drawing on materials from law, history, and social theory, this book integrates practical proposals for reform with larger issues of sexuality and identity. Beginning with a summary of existing demographic data and offering a historical overview of pre-Stonewall views …

Learning And Engaging The Information Values Of A Karst Community Of Practice, Kaya Van Beynen, Spencer Fleury Ph.D. Dec 2009

Learning And Engaging The Information Values Of A Karst Community Of Practice, Kaya Van Beynen, Spencer Fleury Ph.D.

Spencer Fleury Ph.D.

The Karst Information Portal (KIP) is a publicly accessible Internet portal for karst literature and data, hosted by the University of South Florida (USF) libraries. It was created to foster interaction and collaboration among the karst community by identifying, acquiring, and facilitating access to karst literature in a single, centralized location. Karst is a type of terrain typified by soluble rocks, such as limestone, gypsum, and dolomite, where solutional processes are dominant, forming sinkholes, depressions, caves, and enhancing underground drainage. The karst community consists of formal researchers working in academic or governmental institutions along with an informal cohort of recreational …

Place For Personhood: Individual And Local Character In Lifestyle Migration, Brian A. Hoey Dec 2009

Place For Personhood: Individual And Local Character In Lifestyle Migration, Brian A. Hoey

Brian A. Hoey, Ph.D.

While drawing on literature of narrative interpretations of the construction of self and place-based, embodied identity, this article will explore the impact of invasive market forces on intertwined processes of person, self, and place-making. It considers how resources for these projects have changed in the face of translocal market forces and neoliberal ideals. Despite numerous proclamations of an essential placelessness to contemporary American society, place continues to be a basic part of the construction of the person. In fact, a variety of place-making practices are increasingly pursued as ways of negotiating tension between personal experience with material demands in pursuit …
