Developing Urban Deer Management Plans: The Need For Public Education, Deborah Green, Glen R. Askins, Phillip D. West Oct 1997

Developing Urban Deer Management Plans: The Need For Public Education, Deborah Green, Glen R. Askins, Phillip D. West

Eastern Wildlife Damage Management Conference: 8th (1997)

Independent public opinion surveys concerning urban deer (Odocoileus virginianus) management were conducted in two Virginia communities. A total of 346 citizens were interviewed in two Random Digit Dial telephone surveys. In addition to questions concerning management techniques and their administration, participants were asked about their experience with deer, their awareness of problems with deer in the area, and their enjoyment of deer. In both localities, non-lethal controls were preferred over lethal controls; trapping and relocation, fencing, repellents, and birth control measures were favored by a majority of residents. The only lethal control acceptable to residents in both communities …

Development Of An Integrated Canada Goose Management Program In Virginia, Martin Lowney, Phil Eggborn, Gary Costanzo, Don Patterson Oct 1997

Development Of An Integrated Canada Goose Management Program In Virginia, Martin Lowney, Phil Eggborn, Gary Costanzo, Don Patterson

Eastern Wildlife Damage Management Conference: 8th (1997)

Wildlife managers in the State of Virginia developed an integrated Canada goose (Branta Canadensis) damage management program in 1996 to address increasing damage caused by resident (non-migratory) Canada geese, primarily in urban/suburban areas. The previous Canada goose damage management program relied primarily on harassment and relocation. The integrated program was made available to citizens, homeowner associations, businesses, organizations, city and county governments, and state and federal agencies in 1997. The Integrated Canada Goose Management Program was developed by U.S. Department of Agriculture-Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service-Wildlife Services, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Virginia Department of …

Conservation Of A Dinosaur In Modern Times: South Carolina’S Alligator Management Program, Walter E. Rhodes Oct 1997

Conservation Of A Dinosaur In Modern Times: South Carolina’S Alligator Management Program, Walter E. Rhodes

Eastern Wildlife Damage Management Conference: 8th (1997)

American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) conservation is necessary given the animal's role in wetland ecosystems and its economic value. Although the alligator appears to be no longer threatened with extinction, the reptile’s perceived reputation and a burgeoning human population combine to create a management paradox. Alligator management in South Carolina consists of a Nuisance Control Program, a Private Lands Harvest Program, and public education. Annually, over 750 alligator complaints are received by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR), and harvest averages about 250 animals. To address alligator/human interaction in rural habitats, a harvest on private lands was …

Do You Have Your Skates On?, Gary J. San Julian

Eastern Wildlife Damage Management Conference: 8th (1997)

It is an honor to keynote this conference as we think about our profession in the next century. Jim asked me to predict what the future of wildlife damage management might look like in the year 2020. I explained to him that I have not been actively engaged in doing wildlife damage work for almost 9 years and I had been in an administrative role. Jim knew that I am going back to a faculty position in the next several months. He thought it was great for a person coming out of retirement to predict the future. Since I left …

Private Nuisance Wildlife Control: Is There A Future In Kansas?, Charles D. Lee, Philip Gipson, Lucas Koch Oct 1997

Private Nuisance Wildlife Control: Is There A Future In Kansas?, Charles D. Lee, Philip Gipson, Lucas Koch

Eastern Wildlife Damage Management Conference: 8th (1997)

The private industry involvement in nuisance animal damage control is increasing in Kansas. Improved oversight of that industry is needed and the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) plans to implement a mandatory education and certification program beginning in 1998. KDWP currently issues permits to individuals who wish to trap or control nuisance animals outside of normal harvest seasons. Individuals who have held these permits to conduct nuisance animal damage control were surveyed in 1995 to better understand the status and needs of that industry in Kansas. A 3-page mail survey was sent to all 93 permit holders. Raccoons …

Response From Cooperative Extension Personnel To Citizen Requests For Information About Wildlife (Poster Abstract), Shannon Thurston, Gary J. San Julian Oct 1997

Response From Cooperative Extension Personnel To Citizen Requests For Information About Wildlife (Poster Abstract), Shannon Thurston, Gary J. San Julian

Eastern Wildlife Damage Management Conference: 8th (1997)

With the increasing urbanization of rural areas, conflicts between homeowners and wildlife are becoming more common. County extension offices frequently receive telephone calls from individuals who are experiencing problems with wildlife. In most cases, extension staff provides assistance over the phone or by mail. However, there are no guidelines for the distribution of information nor is there training for extension personnel. Each county office collects and distributes information differently. Because there is no follow-up to inquiries, little is known about what the homeowners actually do or whether the problems were solved. With some wildlife species, there is a question of …

Computing Dense Clusters On-Line For Information Organization, Javed Aslam, Katya Pelekhov, Daniela Rus Oct 1997

Computing Dense Clusters On-Line For Information Organization, Javed Aslam, Katya Pelekhov, Daniela Rus

Computer Science Technical Reports

We present and analyze the off-line star algorithm for clustering static information systems and the on-line star algorithm for clustering dynamic information systems. These algorithms partition a document collection into a number of clusters that is naturally induced by the collection. We show a lower bound on the accuracy of the clusters produced by these algorithms. We use the random graph model to show that both star algorithms produce correct clusters in time Theta(V + E). Finally, we provide data from extensive experiments.

Approximating Disjoint-Path Problems Using Greedy Algorithms And Packing Integer Programs, Stavros G. Kolliopoulos, Clifford Stein Oct 1997

Approximating Disjoint-Path Problems Using Greedy Algorithms And Packing Integer Programs, Stavros G. Kolliopoulos, Clifford Stein

Computer Science Technical Reports

In the edge(vertex)-disjoint path problem we are given a graph $G$ and a set ${\cal T}$ of connection requests. Every connection request in ${\cal T}$ is a vertex pair $(s_i,t_i),$ $1 \leq i \leq K.$ The objective is to connect a maximum number of the pairs via edge(vertex)-disjoint paths. The edge-disjoint path problem can be generalized to the multiple-source unsplittable flow problem where connection request $i$ has a demand $\rho_i$ and every edge $e$ a capacity $u_e.$ All these problems are NP-hard and have a multitude of applications in areas such as routing, scheduling and bin packing. Given the hardness …

Evaluation Of Special Sensor Microwave/Imager Satellite Data For Regional Soil Moisture Estimation Over The Red River Basin, Venkataraman Lakshmi, Eric F. Wood, Bhaskar J. Choudhury

Faculty Publications

Regional-scale estimation of soil moisture using in situ field observations is not possible due to problemswith the representativeness of the sampling and costs. Remotely sensed satellite data are helpful in this regard.Here, the simulations of 19- and 37-GHz vertical and horizontal polarization brightness temperatures and estimationof soil moistures using data from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) for 798 0.258 3 0.258boxes in the southwestern plains region of the United States for the time period between 1 August 1987 and31 July 1988 are presented. A coupled land-canopy–atmosphere model is used for simulating the brightnesstemperatures. The land-surface hydrology is modeled using a …

A Unifying Construction For Difference Sets, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab Oct 1997

A Unifying Construction For Difference Sets, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

We present a recursive construction for difference sets which unifies the Hadamard, McFarland, and Spence parameter families and deals with all abelian groups known to contain such difference sets. The construction yields a new family of difference sets with parameters (v, k, λ,n)=(22d+4(22d+2−1)/3, 22d+1(22d+3+1)/3, 22d+1(22d+1+1)/3, 24d+2) for d⩾0. The construction establishes that a McFarland difference set exists in an abelian group of order 22 …
