Reformulating Urban Landscapes: Figure-Ground Maps, Cesar Torres Bustamante
Reformulating Urban Landscapes: Figure-Ground Maps, Cesar Torres Bustamante
Landscape Architecture
A type of map traditionally used in the analysis of urban form is figure‐ground, a drawing that traditionally depicts the buildings as figures against a visually contrasting ground. It finds certain antecedents in Gestalt psychology, as both drawings rely on the perceptible difference between figure and ground. However an unwanted extrapolation from Gestalt is the imposition of hierarchies, indispensable for visual segregation of figure and ground, but detrimental for the potential of figure‐ground as mapping. Mapping is a creative and cognitive activity, ruled by processes of selection and schematization. The potential of the figure‐ground map to reveal new relationships and …

The Boundaries Of A Trans-National Survey Of Asian Architectural And Urban History, Christopher Yip
The Boundaries Of A Trans-National Survey Of Asian Architectural And Urban History, Christopher Yip
Architecture
In constructing a survey of the architectural and urban history of traditional Asia, how would one define the edges of the region under study? This paper will argue that such a study can reasonably exclude Western Asia (also referred to as the Middle East, or the Ancient Orient), modern Siberia, much of the Indonesian Archipelago, the Philippines, Australia, and most of the Pacific Islands for various reasons, including geographic isolation, climate, and more reasonable inclusion in another architectural historical cluster. This is in part due to the definition of the core of such a study, and to the nature of …

Predator Induction Of Spine Length In Larval Leucorrhinia Intacta (Odonata), Shannon Mccauley, Christopher J. Davis, Earl E. Werner
Predator Induction Of Spine Length In Larval Leucorrhinia Intacta (Odonata), Shannon Mccauley, Christopher J. Davis, Earl E. Werner
Biological Sciences
Questions: Do larvae of a dragonfly with a broad habitat distribution have longer abdominal spines when they co-exist with fish, and are these differences the result of phenotypic plasticity?
Hypothesis: Phenotypic plasticity will result in larvae having longer spines when they are exposed to cues from predatory fish.
Organism: Larvae of Leucorrhinia intacta (Odonata: Libellulidae).
Research site: Natural ponds and cattle tanks on the E.S. George Reserve in southeast Michigan.
Methods: We compared the morphology of larvae collected from two natural ponds before and after a drought resulted in the extirpation of fish from one pond. We also compared …

Utopia Reconsidered: The Modern Firm As Institutional Ideal, John Dobson
Utopia Reconsidered: The Modern Firm As Institutional Ideal, John Dobson
Finance
This paper challenges Alasdair MacIntyre's assertion that the modern firm -such as Google, Unilever, or Microsoft -is inimical to human flourishing within an Aristotelian framework. The paper begins by questioning MacIntyre's rendering of utopian communities. It then addresses four specific criticisms of the modern firm to be found throughout MacIntyre's oeuvre, namely compartmentalisation, myopia, inequality, and loss of community. Arguments are made to the effect that these criticisms do not vitiate the institutional role of the modern firm in an Aristotelian context. The paper concludes with an invocation of the modern firm as institutional ideal within an evolving utopian vision …
A Fossil Skull Of The Extant Blue Marlin (Makaira Nigricans Lacapède, 1802) From The Late Miocene Of Orange County, California, Harry L. Fierstine
A Fossil Skull Of The Extant Blue Marlin (Makaira Nigricans Lacapède, 1802) From The Late Miocene Of Orange County, California, Harry L. Fierstine
Biological Sciences
A nearly complete fossil skull, including the rostrum, of blue marlin, Makaira nigricans Lacapède, 1802 (Perciformes: Xiphioidei: Istiophoridae), was collected from the Oso Member (latest Miocene) of the Capistrano Formation, Mission Viejo, Orange County, California. The specimen is compared with extant and fossil istiophorids, and 19 of its 20 morphological variables are within the range of values observed for extant M. nigricans, whereas only 13 or less variables are within the observed range of other extant istiophorids. Because extant M. nigricans usually inhabits a water column with a height of about 200 m or more and is the most …

High Latitude Changes In Ice Dynamics And Their Impact On Polar Marine Ecosystems, Mark A. Moline, Nina J. Karnovsky, Zachary Brown, George J. Divoky, Thomas K. Frazer, Charles A. Jacoby, Joseph J. Torres, William R. Fraser
Biological Sciences
Polar regions have experienced significant warming in recent decades. Warming has been most pronounced across the Arctic Ocean Basin and along the Antarctic Peninsula, with significant decreases in the extent and seasonal duration of sea ice. Rapid retreat of glaciers and disintegration of ice sheets have also been documented. The rate of warming is increasing and is predicted to continue well into the current century, with continued impacts on ice dynamics. Climate-mediated changes in ice dynamics are a concern as ice serves as primary habitat for marine organisms central to the food webs of these regions. Changes in the timing …

An Automated Temperature-Based Option For Estimating Surface Activity And Refuge Use Patterns In Free-Ranging Animals, J R. Davis, E N. Taylor, D F. Denardo
An Automated Temperature-Based Option For Estimating Surface Activity And Refuge Use Patterns In Free-Ranging Animals, J R. Davis, E N. Taylor, D F. Denardo
Biological Sciences
Accurately assessing free-ranging animals’ patterns of surface activity and refuge use is critical, yet fundamentally challenging for biologists and wildlife managers. We evaluate the accuracy of an automated technique—temperature-based activity estimation (TBAE)—in estimating surface activity and refuge use patterns of two sympatric reptiles, the western diamond-backed rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox) and the Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum) in the Sonoran Desert. TBAE derived from a comparison of body temperature to shaded air temperature was effective in estimating the overall percent surface activity for both rattlesnakes (observed surface activity 51.8%, TBAE estimated surface activity 48.2%) and Gila monsters (observed …
The Milk Fat Globule Membrane As An Ingredient: Why, How, When?, Rafael Jiménez-Flores, Guillaume Brisson
The Milk Fat Globule Membrane As An Ingredient: Why, How, When?, Rafael Jiménez-Flores, Guillaume Brisson
Dairy Science
This paper presents a personal view on the potential applications of the milk fat globule membrane as an ingredient in the processed foods area. Several factors are of importance for this dissertation: the biological origin of the membrane, the voluminous literature on its individual components and their relationship with health and wellness, the biological role of milk in nutrition to mammals and the innovation on scientific tools being applied in many fields of chemistry and biology. We hope to give a glimpse of the reasons on why it is a good idea to use more efficiently the components of the …

A Feminist Reframing Of Bullying And Harassment: Transforming Schools Through Critical Pedagogy, Elizabeth J. Meyer
A Feminist Reframing Of Bullying And Harassment: Transforming Schools Through Critical Pedagogy, Elizabeth J. Meyer
School of Education Scholarship
This article aims to reformulate existing understandings of bullying behaviours in secondary schools, by applying a critical feminist lens to patterns of verbal and psychological harassment among students. Through this understanding, educators may better understand the causes of (hetero)sexist, transphobic, and homophobic behaviours. With a more complex awareness of these power relations, teachers, teacher educators, and educational leadership scholars will be offered critical approaches to help them transform the oppressive cultures of schools.
Gendered Harassment In Secondary Schools: Understanding Teachers’ (Non) Interventions, Elizabeth J. Meyer
Gendered Harassment In Secondary Schools: Understanding Teachers’ (Non) Interventions, Elizabeth J. Meyer
School of Education Scholarship
This article provides an analysis of teachers’ perceptions of and responses to gendered harassment in Canadian secondary schools based on in‐depth interviews with six teachers in one urban school district. Gendered harassment includes any behaviour that polices and reinforces traditional heterosexual gender norms such as (hetero)sexual harassment, homophobic harassment, and harassment for gender non‐conformity. This study shows that educators experience a combination of external and internal influences that act as either barriers or motivators for intervention. Some of the external barriers include: lack of institutional support from administrators; lack of formal education on the issue; inconsistent response from colleagues; fear …
The Phenotypic Plasticity Of Death Valley's Pupfish: Desert Fish Are Revealing How The Environment Alters Development To Modify Body Shape And Behavior, Sean C. Lema
Biological Sciences
Death Valley seems an unlikely spot to go fishing. Nonetheless, seven species of pupfish survive in North America's lowest, hottest spot as remnants from the cooler, damper Pleistocene Epoch. For the most part, these species exist in isolation and have been left to adapt to minute details of their local environment—sort of the fish version of Darwin's finches. Surprisingly, however, even within a species, when environmental variables such as water temperature or food supply vary, morphological changes are evident within a few generations. This phenotypic plasticity calls into question not only environmental management practices for species preservation but also just …
User Driven Two-Dimensional Computer-Generated Ornamentation, Dustin Anderson, Zoë J. Wood
User Driven Two-Dimensional Computer-Generated Ornamentation, Dustin Anderson, Zoë J. Wood
Computer Science and Software Engineering
Hand drawn ornamentation, such as floral or geometric patterns, is a tedious and time consuming task that requires skill and training in ornamental design principles and aesthetics. Ornamental drawings both historically and presently play critical roles in all things from art to architecture, and when computers handle the repetition and overall structure of ornament, considerable savings in time and money can result. Due to the importance of keeping an artist in the loop, we present an application, designed and implemented utilizing a user-driven global planning strategy, to help guide the generation of two-dimensional ornament. The system allows for the creation …

Identifying And Addressing Contemporary Issues In Central Coast Oak Woodlands, Erin Rice, Douglas D. Piirto, Royce Larsen, Bill Tietje, Ryan Cooper, Ulric Lund
Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences
Recently, questions about the extent of thinning, the sustainability of forest management practices, and the compatibility with other uses were raised by the media, agency personnel, and environmental groups. In response, University of California Cooperative Extension and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo’s Natural Resources Management Department collaborated to address these issues. In March 2006, a questionnaire was mailed to landowners of properties greater than 100 acres in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Monterey counties. A total of 2,786 questionnaires were mailed, with 450 completed and returned (16 percent). The respondents were highly educated, holding degrees in areas other than …

Lipid Productivity Of Algae Grown On Dairy Wastewater As A Possible Feedstock For Biodiesel, Ian C. Woertz
Lipid Productivity Of Algae Grown On Dairy Wastewater As A Possible Feedstock For Biodiesel, Ian C. Woertz
Master's Theses
The objective of this thesis is to develop a biological wastewater treatment system that utilizes algal growth to simultaneously create renewable energy in the form of biodiesel and digester biogas, remove polluting nutrients, and abate greenhouse gases. Research under the Department of Energy Aquatic Species Program during 1978-1996 concluded that cultivating algae for biofuels was cost prohibitive at that time and that an integrated approach should be studied that combined wastewater treatment with algal biofuel production. Nutrient removal, in particular nitrogen and phosphorus, from wastewater is a growing regulatory need and the use of algae cultivation could create a unique …
