Spotted Knapweed Distribution In Stock Camps And Trails Of The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, W. Andrew Marcus, Gary Milner, Bruce Maxwell

Great Basin Naturalist

This article documents spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa Lam.) in 30 campsites and along 5 trails in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and assesses the role of disturbance and environmental factors in controlling infestation. Spotted knapweed was present in only 6 of 30 surveyed campsites and limited portions of all 5 trails that were sampled. All spotted knapweed in camps was below 1700 m elevation, in open canopy, and in areas with an opportunity class disturbance ranking of 3 or 4. Overall disturbance levels measured using U.S. Forest Service Site Impact Worksheets (SIWs) did not help predict occurrence of spotted knapweed, although …

Vegetal Change On A Northern Utah Foothill Range In The Absence Of Livestock Grazing Between 1948 And 1982, Dennis D. Austin, Philip J. Urness

Great Basin Naturalist

Reexamination of a semiarid foothill rangeland, first evaluated in 1948, indicated that secondary succession continues to shift toward a perennial grass-forb community formerly dominated by xeric shrubs, particularly big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata spp. vaseyana). The direct role in livestock grazing in establishment and maintenance of shrub-dominant plant communities appears confirmed in the decline of shrubs upon cessation of livestock grazing in summer and continued browsing by mule deer in winter. The reduction of shrub forages on mule deer winter ranges is a major factor in population declines.

Breeding Birds At The Idaho National Engineering And Environmental Laboratory, 1985–1991, James R. Belthoff, Leon R. Powers, Timothy D. Reynolds

Great Basin Naturalist

During the summers of 1985–1991, bird censuses were conducted along 13 permanent routes located at the 2315-km² Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL, formerly INEL) in southeastern Idaho. The objectives of the surveys were to (1) compare avifauna in and near facility complex sites with remote, relatively undisturbed habitats, (2) identify trends in populations of sagebrush-obligate species and other common shrub-steppe species, and (3) determine the presence, abundance, and population status of species of special concern. Five routes were official U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division 40.0-km Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) routes (formerly administered by the U.S. Fish …

Chironomidae (Diptera) Of The Colorado River, Grand Canyon, Arizona, Usa, Ii: Factors Influencing Distribution, Lawrence E. Stevens, James E. Sublette, Joseph P. Shannon

Great Basin Naturalist

Biogeographic, flow regulation (water clarity and temperature), and temporal influences affect the composition of the chironomid midge assemblage in the Colorado River between Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Mead. This assemblage is dominated by euryecious Nearctic and Holarctic orthocladine taxa (23 of 38 total species, total weighted relative abundance [WRA] = 0.972) and includes a minor Neotropical component. Chironomid species richness increases over distance downstream from the dam, and dominance shifts across 3 turbidity segments. Eleven species occur in the cold-stenothermic Clearwater (CW) segment between the dam and the 1st perennial tributary (the Paria River, 26 km from the dam). …

Temperature Sensitivity Of El Tor 01, Classical 01, And 0139 Vibrio Cholerae, Michelle Angela O'Neill

Dissertations and Theses

Vibrio cholerae has long been recognized as the causative agent of the disease cholera, but what has only become evident in recent years is the role of the environment in cholera. The cholera bacterium is found autochthonously in the marine and estuarian environment, and if there is any hope of controlling the disease the environmental aspects must be understood.

The central questions addressed in this study were how bacterial survival was influenced by temperature and the role that available nutrients play in V. cholerae survival. Survival of three different V. cholerae strains [classical (01); El Tor (01), and El Tor …

Paper Session I-D Leveraging Space For Improved Science Programs, Robert B. Friend

Space Congress® Proceedings

This paper provides an overview of a program at Boeing's Reusable Space Systems unit which was created and designed to show educators and students how science and engineering classes, lessons, and education can be made "fun" while teaching not only basic scientific principles, but how the principles may be applied in the real world. This program, called DiscoverE, for Discover Engineering, is an offshoot of the national program administered by the National Engineers Week organization which is comprised of several corporate affiliates, of which Boeing is one. The Discover Engineering program at Boeing-RSS consists of three basic segments and is …

Multiculturalism And American Democracy, Arthur M. Melzer, Jerry Weinberger, M. Richard Zinman

Kansas Open Books

Multiculturalism: is it the face of twenty-first century America or merely a passing intellectual fad? With its celebration of ethnic diversity and strong advocacy of tolerance, this contemporary movement provides philosophical justification for many who seek to correct social inequities. But while its proponents see it as a means of promoting self-esteem among marginalized groups, its critics see it as a dangerous form of relativism that culminates, paradoxically, in a new form of intolerance. The fourteen essays in this volume address the pros and cons of multiculturalism and explore its relationship with liberal democracy. A team of stellar contributors—C. Vann …

Birth Parent Participation In Foster Care Placement Planning: Relationship To Discharge Outcomes, Karen A. Hulteen

Theses and Graduate Projects

Prior studies have found a positive relationship between contact of birth family and foster children and reunification, as well as with children's well-being, adjustment, and development during and after foster care. Law requires and research validates social work practice which places children in the least restrictive, most normative living situation possible to meet their needs. Examining records of 188 youth discharged from treatment foster care from Human Service Associates from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1996, this investigation discovered that birth parent participation in placement planning meetings and quarterly reviews, one indicator of birth family involvement, was related to …

An Internship Experience In Educational Leadership At Oakcrest High School, Mays Landing, New Jersey, 1997-1998, Linda R. Brennan

Theses and Dissertations

Early identification of academically at-risk students combined with effective intervention has a significant impact on the academic performance of academically at-risk students. Students were identified as academically at-risk if they failed two classes in one report period or if they failed one class twice during their eighth grade year.

Faculty members volunteered to serve as mentors for these students. Through advising, referring to student resource personnel, reviewing work, or providing a quiet place to study, teachers were committed to providing additional time and assistance to their mentees' educational process.

The identified students were also given contact time and opportunities to …
