A Laboratory-Based Nonlinear Dynamics Course For Science And Engineering Students, Nilgun Sungar, John P. Sharpe, Matthew J. Moelter, Neil Fleishon, Kent Morrison, Jean Mcdill, Rod Schoonover

Physics

We describe the implementation of a new laboratory-based interdisciplinary undergraduate course on nonlinear dynamical systems. Geometrical methods and data visualization techniques are especially emphasized. A novel feature of the course is a required laboratory where the students analyze the behavior of a number of dynamical systems. Most of the laboratory experiments can be economically implemented using equipment available in many introductory physics microcomputer-based laboratories.

The Effects Of Famine, Maternal Age, And Paternal Age On Fetal Loss In Rural Bangladesh, D. B. Neill, D. J. Holman

Social Sciences

The effect of famine on fetal loss has been well documented for a number of populations. In this paper we examine the effect of famine on fetal loss in rural Bangladesh, which experienced a severe famine during 1973 and 1974 following the 1971 war for independence. Using data from the Internal Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, the effect of famine on fetal loss is examined considering both maternal age (MA) and paternal age (PA). Observations include records of 65,590 pregnancies from 254,471 individuals followed from 1974 to 1982.

Logistic regression was used to model the effects of MA, PA, …

The Scientific Foundations Of Habitat Conservation Plans: A Quantitative Assessment, Elaine K. Harding, Elizabeth E. Crone, Bret D. Elderd, Jonathan M. Hoekstra, Alexa J. Mckerrow, John D. Perrine, Jim Regetz, Leslie J. Rissler, Amanda G. Stanley, Eric L. Walters, Nceas Habitat Conservation Plan Working Group

Biological Sciences

The number of habitat conservation plans ( HCP) has risen dramatically since the first plan was written over 18 years ago. Until recently, no studies have quantitatively investigated the scientific foundations underlying these documents. As part of a larger study of HCPs, we examined 43 plans primarily to assess the availability and use of scientific data and secondarily to determine the extent of involvement by, and influence of, independent scientists within the process. Specifically, our analysis focused on five key steps taken when an HCP is developed: assessing status of a species, determining take, predicting the project effects, mitigating for …

Volume I, Master Plan And Environmental Impact Report, Facilities Planning And Capital Projects, California Polytechnic State University - San Luis Obispo

Publications

Cal Poly’s new Master Plan provides principles and guidelines for the physical development of Cal Poly so that the University can sustain its distinctive mission as a polytechnic university into the 21st century. The Plan is designed to meet the educational needs of the campus, respond to the growing demand for higher education - particularly in scientific and technical fields - and address the role of the University as a member of its larger community.

Publications

This section of the Final EIR (FEIR) presents the responses to public comments made on the Cal Poly Master Plan and Draft EIR (DEIR). Some comments do not pertain to physical environmental issues, but responses are included to provide additional information for use by decision-makers. Many of the comments spoke directly to issues with the Master Plan. Responses to these are included here. Also included in the FEIR are staff-initiated text changes and errata.

Correlated Evolution Of Chloroplast Heat Shock Protein Expression In Closely Related Plant Species, Charles A. Knight, David D. Ackerly

Biological Sciences

Interspecific variation in chloroplast low molecular weight (cLMW) HSP (heat shock protein) expression was examined with respect to phylogeny, species specific leaf area, chlorophyll fluorescence, and mean environmental conditions within species ranges. Eight species of Ceanothus (Rhamnaceae) were heat shocked for 4 h at several different temperatures. Leaf samples were collected immediately after the heat shock, and cLMW HSP expression was quantified using Western blots. At 45⁰C species from the subgenus Cerastes had significantly greater cLMW HSP expression than species from the subgenus Ceanothus. Specific leaf area was negatively correlated with cLMW HSP expression after the 45 …

A New Aglyptorhynchus (Perciformes: Scombroidei: Blochiidae) From The Late Oligocene Of Oregon, Harry L. Fierstine

Biological Sciences

A partial fish skull with a nearly complete rostrum, a cup-shaped sclerotic hone, and cycloid scales (UCMP 123170) from the Yaquina Formation (late Oligocene, Oregon) is described and identified as Aglyptorhynchus maxillaris, sp. nov. Unusual features of the rostrum include a fused premaxillary segment with a low dorsal keel, and a maxilla with both a flat flange on its postero-ventral margin and a large condyle that presumably allowed dorsoventral movement of the rostrum to increase the gape. The Yaquina Formation was estimated to have been deposited at a water depth of over 100m and a sea surface temperature of at …
