Distribution Of Baird's Pocket Gopher (Geomys Breviceps) In Arkansas; With Additional County Records, Douglas A. Elrod, Gary A. Heidt, Mark R. Ingraham, Earl G. Zimmerman Jan 1996

Distribution Of Baird's Pocket Gopher (Geomys Breviceps) In Arkansas; With Additional County Records, Douglas A. Elrod, Gary A. Heidt, Mark R. Ingraham, Earl G. Zimmerman

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Recently, a population of pocket gophers in the north-central portion of Arkansas was determined to be the plains pocket gopher (Geomys Imrsarius), rather than Baird's pocket gopher (Geomys breviceps). This changed the known range of both species extensively. A detailed examination of the known range of Baird's pocket gophers (G. breviceps) in Arkansas resulted in 12 new county records. Biogeographically, G. breviceps appears to be found in all physiographic regions within the state with the possible exception ofCrowley's ridge. It is most common in the Gulf Coastal Plain and rarest in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. The distribution ofG. breviceps is …


Scale Issues In Soil Moisture Modelling: Problems And Prospects, Rezaul Mahmood Jan 1996

Scale Issues In Soil Moisture Modelling: Problems And Prospects, Rezaul Mahmood

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

Soil moisture storage is an important component of the hydrological cycle and plays a key role in land-surface-atmosphere interaction. The soil-moisture storage equation in this study considers precipitation as an input and soil moisture as a residual term for runoff and evapotranspiration. A number of models have been developed to estimate soil moisture storage and the components of the soil-moisture storage equation. A detailed discussion of the implication of the scale of application of these models reports that it is not possible to extrapolate processes and their estimates from the small to the large scale. It is also noted that …

A Phenomenological Study Of The Homebirth Experience : The Couples Perspective, Susanjane Morison Jan 1996

A Phenomenological Study Of The Homebirth Experience : The Couples Perspective, Susanjane Morison

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe the experience of parents who have had a homebirth in the past two years in Perth. Studies conducted to date have predominantly used quantitative research methods, investigating the safety of homebirth and comparing home to hospital birth without exploring a couples experiences. A phenomenological approach was used as it seeks to understand human experience in context. The research design consisted of a field study, in which ten parent couples were interviewed and three homebirth videos observed. Data analysis was conducted according to the procedure outlined by Colaizzi (cited in Knaack, 1984, …


A Competency-Based Art Therapy Approach For Improving The Self-Esteem Of A Pre-Adolescent Girl, Maria T. Papaluca Jan 1996

A Competency-Based Art Therapy Approach For Improving The Self-Esteem Of A Pre-Adolescent Girl, Maria T. Papaluca

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

The aim of the current study is to present multi-faceted instruments to measure the effectiveness of a competency-based approach to Art Therapy for improving the self-esteem of a pre-adolescent girl. The theoretical framework for this approach applies well established Art Therapy and Family Art Therapy theory and practice to contemporary clinical practices in individual Family Therapy. The Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC) (Harter, 1985b), House-Tree-Person Drawing Test (H-T-P) (Buck, 1970), the subject's self-ratings, ratings of the subject's competence by her mother and her teacher, and ratings of the subject's artwork by objective judges are employed in a Pretest-Posttest research design …


An Adaptive Fuzzy Logic Controller For Intelligent Networking And Control, Irshad Nainar Jan 1996

An Adaptive Fuzzy Logic Controller For Intelligent Networking And Control, Irshad Nainar

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

In this thesis, we present a fuzzy logic control scheme to regulate the flow of traffic approaching a set of intersections. An adaptive Fuzzy Logic Traffic Controller (FLTC) is used to adjust the green phase split of the north-south and east-west approaches of a set of traffic signals based on the actual traffic approaching the intersection. Each intersection is coordinated with its neighbouring intersections by adjusting the offset of the local intersection. The offset is adjusted by a local fuzzy logic controller loacted at each intersection. A new fuzzy control scheme, using a supervisory Fuzzy Logic Controller, is also proposed …


An Experimentally Obtainable Heat Source Due To Absorption Of Ultrasound In Biological Media, James L. Drewniak, F. Dunn Jan 1996

An Experimentally Obtainable Heat Source Due To Absorption Of Ultrasound In Biological Media, James L. Drewniak, F. Dunn

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Deposition of heat as a result of loss in an ultrasonic wave may result in damage to biological tissues. The extensive use of ultrasound for diagnostic purposes during pregnancy necessitates the evaluation of thermal risk to a developing fetus during routine clinical exposures. Because of the small ultrasonic absorption coefficient in soft tissues at low megahertz frequencies, temperature elevations exceeding 1 °C are not expected from clinically employed ultrasound systems, and there is no evidence that such small temperature increases can result in deleterious effects. However, when the propagation path includes bone, which is known to be highly lossy, theoretical …

Voices/Voces In The Borderlands: A Colloquy On Re/Constructing Identities In Re/Constructed Legal Spaces, Margaret E. Montoya, Melissa Harrison Jan 1996

Voices/Voces In The Borderlands: A Colloquy On Re/Constructing Identities In Re/Constructed Legal Spaces, Margaret E. Montoya, Melissa Harrison

Faculty Scholarship

While we believe that the work of healing our cultural dyslexia is partly cognitive, in and through this paper we have tried to enact the experiential aspect. We may approach the entrances of the borderlands through reading and thinking, however we believe that the borderlands is a phenomenon of living, a phenomenon of well-intentioned people interacting in deliberate and thoughtful ways with those who are simultaneously like and unlike us/them. The borderlands require that we bring our critical faculties to bear on life's experiences, but, more often than not, we must suspend them in favor of more charitable and affiliative …

The Family As A System: A Preliminary Sketch, Lee E. Teitelbaum Jan 1996

The Family As A System: A Preliminary Sketch, Lee E. Teitelbaum

Utah Law Review

An adequate legal theory of the family can neither rest on nor ignore the heuristic devices that have been invoked by courts and commentators. Both internally and in relation to other social institutions, families are far too varied in structure and operation and too localized in meaning to be captured so easily. Nonetheless, some way of expressing important normative judgments about family relationships is required. Viewing the family as a system, both in its internal organization and functions and in relation to other social structures, may provide a way of accommodating seemingly opposed images of the family as a unit …


"It All Depends On What You Mean By Home": Toward A Communitarian Theory Of The 'Nontraditional" Family, Barbara Bennett Woodhouse Jan 1996

"It All Depends On What You Mean By Home": Toward A Communitarian Theory Of The 'Nontraditional" Family, Barbara Bennett Woodhouse

Utah Law Review

This discussion leaves untouched the many dilemmas involved in distinguishing "kinships of responsibility" from "associations of choice." It also leaves untouched the dilemmas of how to deal with dependencies created within associations of choice. Can we regulate such supposedly autonomous arrangements without assimilating these arrangements to the status of legal families? How can we draw the lines of choice without diluting the meaning of family until it resembles a purely voluntary role, to be taken on and put off at will? All of these are issues for another day and another author. The more limited goal of this Article has …


Two Methods Of Neural Network Controlled Dynamic Channel Allocation For Mobile Radio Systems, Kelvin T. Erickson, Edward J. Wilmes Jan 1996

Two Methods Of Neural Network Controlled Dynamic Channel Allocation For Mobile Radio Systems, Kelvin T. Erickson, Edward J. Wilmes

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Two methods of dynamic channel allocation using neural networks are investigated. Both methods continuously optimize the mobile network based on changes in calling traffic. The first method uses backpropagation model predictions to aid the channel allocator. Each cell contains a backpropagation model which provides the channel allocator a call traffic prediction allowing the channel allocator to effectively optimize the network. The second method uses the same backpropagation models along with actor-critic models to perform the channel allocation. The actor-critics learn to model traffic activity between adjacent cells in real-time, and thereby learn to allocate channels dynamically between cells. The learning …
