Anaximander And The Architects, Robert Hahn Dec 1992

Anaximander And The Architects, Robert Hahn

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

This essay is divided into several sections. In (B) I set out the problem of making a diagram or model of Anaximander's cosmos, then in (C) I outline the relevant fragments and testimony - for Anaximander's picture of the cosmos and its formation — from which a diagram or model might be constructed. Next, in (D) I invite the reader to reflect on the differences between plan and elevation perspectives: two ways of Imagining. In (D.l), evidence for plan and elevation perspectives in ancient Egyptian architecture is examined, and the contributing influence is considered; in (D.2) evidence for plan and …

Winter Nutrient Content And Deer Use Of Gambel Oak Twigs In North Central Utah, Rosemary L. Pendleton, Fred J. Wagstaff, Bruce L. Welch Dec 1992

Winter Nutrient Content And Deer Use Of Gambel Oak Twigs In North Central Utah, Rosemary L. Pendleton, Fred J. Wagstaff, Bruce L. Welch

Great Basin Naturalist

We examined winter nutritional quality of current-year bud and stem tissues from burned and unburned stands of Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii Nutt.). Nutritional analyses were based on the amount of forage consumed by wintering mule deer. Deer use along the Utah Valley foothills averaged 6.25–10.7 cm of current-year growth. Of the tissues examined, post-fire bud tissue had the highest nutrient content, with a mean of 9.51% crude protein, 0.19% phosphorus, and 34.0% in vitro digestibility. Composite values (bud + stem) for unburned stands were slightly higher in crude protein and phosphorus and lower in digestibility than those reported in …

Vascular Flora Of Kane Lake Cirque, Pioneer Mountains, Idaho, Robert K. Moseley, Susan Bernatas Dec 1992

Vascular Flora Of Kane Lake Cirque, Pioneer Mountains, Idaho, Robert K. Moseley, Susan Bernatas

Great Basin Naturalist

Kane Lake Cirque lies in the western Pioneer Mountains of south central Idaho. An inventory of the high elevation flora of the cirque revealed the presence of 180 vascular taxa representing 95 genera and 30 families. Five alpine taxa are here documented from Idaho for the first time: Carex incurviformis Mack., Draba fladnizensis Wilfen., Potentilla nivea L., Ranunculus gelidus Kar. & Kir., and Ranunculus pygmaeus Wahlenb. Kane Lake Cirque also contains populations of four additional alpine taxa considered to be of conservation concern in Idaho: Erigeron humilis Graham, Parnassia kotzebuei Cham., Saxifraga adscendens L., and Saxifraga cernua L.

Riffle Beetles (Coleoptera: Elmidae) Of Death Valley National Monument, California, William D. Shepard Dec 1992

Riffle Beetles (Coleoptera: Elmidae) Of Death Valley National Monument, California, William D. Shepard

Great Basin Naturalist

Three species of Elmidae occur in Death Valley National Monument: Stenelmis calida is in three springs in the Ash Meadows area; Microcylloepus formicvideus is only in Travertine Springs; and Microcylloepus similis is in several springs throughout Death Valley and Ash Meadows. Only permanent springs support elmids. Considerable morphological variation occurs in the disjunct populations of M. similis. The evolution of elmids in Death Valley National Monument is equivalent to that of the local pupfish (Cyprinodon spp.).

Plant Age/Size Distributions In Black Sagebrush (Artemisia Nova): Effects On Community Structure, James A. Young, Debra E. Palmquist Dec 1992

Plant Age/Size Distributions In Black Sagebrush (Artemisia Nova): Effects On Community Structure, James A. Young, Debra E. Palmquist

Great Basin Naturalist

The demography of black sagebrush (Artemisia nova Nelson) was investigated in the Buckskin Mountains of western Nevada to determine patterns of stand renewal in sagebrush communities currently free from wildfires. Biomass sampling was conducted to develop growth classes that reflected apparent age of the shrubs. The density of black sagebrush plants was twice that of basin big sagebrush (A. tridentata ssp. tridentata Nutt.) in adjacent communities on contrasting soils (2.2 versus 1.1 plants per m2). Black sagebrush accumulated only 75% as much woody biomass as big sagebrush. Regression equations were developed and tested for predicting total …

Mushroom Consumption (Mycophagy) By North American Cervids, Karen L. Launchbaugh, Philip J. Urness Dec 1992

Mushroom Consumption (Mycophagy) By North American Cervids, Karen L. Launchbaugh, Philip J. Urness

Great Basin Naturalist

Native mushrooms play an important, though often underestimated, role in deer, elk, and caribou diets in North America. Mushrooms are often noted as an unusual or anomalous food in the diets of cervids; yet they often dominate diets in the late summer and fall in forested areas of western North America and throughout the year in the southeastern U.S. Mushrooms are particularly high in protein (16–19%), phosphorus (average 0.75%), and potassium (average 2%). Also, mushroom production is generally greatest in fall. Therefore, they are a highly nutritious food in late season when other native forages may marginally meet basal nutrient …

Effects Of Browsing By Mule Deer On Tree Growth And Fruit Production In Juvenile Orchards, Dennis D. Austin, Philip J. Urness Dec 1992

Effects Of Browsing By Mule Deer On Tree Growth And Fruit Production In Juvenile Orchards, Dennis D. Austin, Philip J. Urness

Great Basin Naturalist

The effects of big game depredation on juvenile fruit trees were studied in northern Utah. Utilization of trees was determined by counts of nipped and intact buds in spring. Height, width, basal diameter, number of buds, and initial fruit production of peach and apple trees were determined from trees protected from or browsed by mule deer in winter: Results from the 10 orchards studied indicated that removal of buds at the observed browsing levels had no effect on tree growth or initial fruit production.

Changes In Riparian Vegetation Along The Colorado River And Rio Grande, Colorado, Warren D. Snyder, Gary C. Miller Dec 1992

Changes In Riparian Vegetation Along The Colorado River And Rio Grande, Colorado, Warren D. Snyder, Gary C. Miller

Great Basin Naturalist

Changes in vegetation including area occupied, canopy cover, and maturity class of cottonwoods (Populus spp.) within lower-elevation zones of the Colorado River and Rio Grande in Colorado were monitored over 25- and 27-year intervals, respectively, using photo-interpretative methods. Estimated loss of cottonwoods along the Colorado River was 2ha/km (−17.5%), and remaining stands had become more open and older. Cottonwoods along the Rio Grande increased 1.6 ha/km (9.3%) with minor canopy cover and maturity class changes. Area occupied by shrubs and river channel changed little along the Colorado River, but declined along the Rio Grande. Loss of hay meadow occurred …

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers And The "Curse Of Doug Williams", Richard C. Crepeau Dec 1992

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers And The "Curse Of Doug Williams", Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

With the end of the National Football League's regular season, we have come to the end of another season of despair for the Tampa Bay Bucs. New levels of futility were achieved as the Bucs turned in their tenth consecutive season in which they have lost at least ten games. And the Bucs don't just lose, they lose in new and creative ways. This is a team of legendary incompetence, whose poor performance over a sustained period of time is earning them a special place in the history of the NFL.

Influence Of Annealing On The Interface Structure And Strain Relief In Si/Ge Heterostructures On (100) Si, D. J. Lockwood, J. -M. Baribeau, T. E. Jackman, P. Aebi, T. Tyliszczak, A. P. Hitchcock, R. L. Headrick

Scanning Microscopy

Research work on the general problem of the nature and thermal stability of the Si/Ge semiconductor interface is reviewed. We report on our recent studies of the interface structure in [(Si)m(Ge)n]p superlattices and (Ge)n layers buried in Si as revealed by Raman scattering, extended X-ray absorption fine structure, and X-ray techniques. Strain relaxation and interdiffusion in the superlattices caused by annealing have been investigated, and it is found that considerable strain-enhanced intermixing together with partial relaxation of Ge-Ge bonds occurs even for very short anneal times at 700°C. Further annealing leads to diffusion at …

Strain Distribution During Growth Of Ge/Si(001) And The Effect Of Surfactant Layers, J. E. Macdonald, J. M. C. Thornton, A. A. Williams, P. Ashu, C. C. Matthai, H. A. Van Der Vegt, E. Vlieg Dec 1992

Strain Distribution During Growth Of Ge/Si(001) And The Effect Of Surfactant Layers, J. E. Macdonald, J. M. C. Thornton, A. A. Williams, P. Ashu, C. C. Matthai, H. A. Van Der Vegt, E. Vlieg

Scanning Microscopy

Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction has been employed to determine directly the distribution of strain in the plane of the interface during deposition of Ge onto Si(001). The corresponding strain distribution has also been deduced for a relaxed island whose atomic structure has been determined by molecular dynamics. The results illustrate the central role of elastic deformation of islands in the initial stage of strain relief. The results are also compared with those for growth with a Sb surfactant layer which suppresses island formation. An investigation of surfactant-like behaviour is also presented for homoepitaxial growth of Ag on Ag(111), where sub-monolayer …

Present Developments In Image Analysis, Peter Smart, Xiaoling Leng Dec 1992

Present Developments In Image Analysis, Peter Smart, Xiaoling Leng

Scanning Microscopy

The paper discusses novel methods of analysing oriented textures, explains some of the problems which had to be overcome to make these methods work, and indicates where future developments might be expected. This has required improvements in the methods of intensity gradient analysis, the development of large filter methods for mapping features defined in terms of their texture, and the introduction of ideas from the theory of regionalised variables.
