The Fernow Experimental Forest: An Analysis Of Historical Change., Jennifer Ann Mccullough Jan 1999

The Fernow Experimental Forest: An Analysis Of Historical Change., Jennifer Ann Mccullough

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Three sets of aerial photographs were employed to assess the historical changes within the US Forest Service (USFS) Fernow Experimental Forest in Parsons, West Virginia. The Fernow Experimental Forest was almost entirely clear-cut in the early part of the 20th century prior to its establishment in the 1930s. The USFS photographs acquired in 1956/58, 1972, and 1985 were the main source of data. The photographs were stereoscopically interpreted to identify mature forest, as well as selective cutting, clear-cutting, and areas that were regenerating following logging. The logging classes included areas of selective cutting, clear-cutting, and areas that were regenerating from …


A Gis Design For Honeybee Management Prototype And Assessment., Jesse Peter Bellavance Jan 1999

A Gis Design For Honeybee Management Prototype And Assessment., Jesse Peter Bellavance

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The objective of this thesis project is to design and develop a Geographic Information System (GIS) operation for the primary purpose of managing apiary site information by the state honeybee inspector for West Virginia. Presently, information related to each apiary site is recorded through the use of registration forms, which are mailed and later stored in file cabinets. At this point the flow of information concerning the practice of beekeeping is stymied. Using these filed registration forms as a useful database of information is unwieldy, if not impossible. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a GIS system …


The Use Of Analog Functional Analysis In Assessing The Function Of Mealtime Behavior Problems., Peter Anthony Girolami Jan 1999

The Use Of Analog Functional Analysis In Assessing The Function Of Mealtime Behavior Problems., Peter Anthony Girolami

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Some children exhibit disruptive and self-injurious behavior during mealtime, limiting the positive interaction between care giver and child, and decreasing the probability of a nutritionally adequate intake. Research has demonstrated the utility of functional analysis (i.e., identifying controlling variables of problem behavior) for the development of effective non-aversive interventions for a variety of behavior problems. This study applied the methodology of an analog experimental (functional) analysis of behavior to the specific interaction between care givers and children exhibiting mealtime behavior problems. Five conditions that resemble feeding situations were constructed to identify contingent relations between the mealtime behavior problems exhibited by …

Cognitive Ability And Its Association With Early Childbearing And Second Teen Births, Darlene Louise Shearer Jan 1999

Cognitive Ability And Its Association With Early Childbearing And Second Teen Births, Darlene Louise Shearer

All ETDs from UAB

Despite efforts to reduce the incidence of adolescent pregnancy and childbearing in the U.S., it remains a pressing social concern and public health problem. Indeed, births to women under 20 continue to constitute one of every seven births in this country and remain higher than teen birth rates in comparable industrialized nations. The literature clearly indicates that factors such as (a) early initiation of sexual activity, (b) lack of appropriate reproductive knowledge, (c) limited educational aspirations, (d) low self-esteem, and (e) family poverty increase the likelihood that an adolescent will begin early childbearing and that she will subsequently have at …


Genetic Variation In Two Populations Of The Brown Ear Tick, Rhipicephalus Appendicula Tus, In Kenya, Frederick N. Baliraine Jan 1999

Genetic Variation In Two Populations Of The Brown Ear Tick, Rhipicephalus Appendicula Tus, In Kenya, Frederick N. Baliraine

All Master’s Theses

Several studies have shown that Rhipicephalus appendiculatus from geographically isolated areas differ in their susceptibilities to Theileria paIva, the haemoprotozoan causative agent of East Coast Fever. In Kenya, R. appendiculatus from Muguga have been reported to be less susceptible to T parva infection than those from Rusinga Islands. As the same tick species from different areas shows variation in vector competence, it was considered to be of epidemiological interest to determine whether these tick populations are genetically different. Most population genetic studies have been done by comparing protein electrophoretic patterns, and more recently by DNA analysis. However, all available techniques …


Comparative Efficacy Of Neem(Azadirachta Indica) And Amitraz (Mitac) Against The Two Spotted Spider Mites (Tetranychus Urticae), On Tomatoes (Lycopersicum Esculentum), Sophia Shaban Kashenge Jan 1999

Comparative Efficacy Of Neem(Azadirachta Indica) And Amitraz (Mitac) Against The Two Spotted Spider Mites (Tetranychus Urticae), On Tomatoes (Lycopersicum Esculentum), Sophia Shaban Kashenge

All Master’s Theses

Various neem (Azadirachta indica. A. Juss) formulations were evaluated under laboratory and greenhouse conditions for their effects on two-spotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Prostigmata: Tetranychidae), on tomatoes, Lycopersicum esculentum. Four neem formulations (Neemros: neem seed powder with 0.5% azadirachtin, Neemroc: a water miscible emulsifiable concentrate oil, with 0.03% azadirachtin, Saroneem: an alcohol extract; extracted in isopropyl alcohol, containing 1% azadirachtin and Neemroc combi: an enriched oil extract with 0.5% azadirachtin) were tested against two-spotted spider mites. Mitac, an acaricide, was used as a standard in the tests. The effective lethal concentration for each formulation against spider mites was established …

Evaluation Of The Impact Of Cotesia Flavipes Cameron (Hymenoptera :Braconidae) And Indeginous Parasitoids On Stemborer Populations In Southwestern Kenya., Kennedy Okoth Ogedah

All Master’s Theses

Data obtained from regular field samples throughout the life cycle of Chilo partellus in three experimental sites; Ungoye, Mbita point and Kuja river, were used to construct life tables. Key factor analysis was conducted to determine the key mortality factors. Results showed little variation in the total inter-generation mortality expressed as 100rx at all the three developmental stages of C.partellus. The mean values obtained ranged from 89.35%-98.1 %,86.1 %-99.8% and 91.7%-96.03% for Kuja river, Mbita point and Ungoye respectively. The most common cause of mortality was classified as disappearance whereas parasitism contributed minimally to the C.partellus mortality at all the …


Farewell To An Idea? Ideology In Legal Theory, David Charny Jan 1999

Farewell To An Idea? Ideology In Legal Theory, David Charny

Michigan Law Review

In 1956, Morocco inaugurated a constitutional democratic polity on the Western model. Elections were to be held, and political parties formed, with voters to be registered by party. The Berbers, however, did not join the parties as individual voters. Each Berber clan joined their chosen party as a unit. To consecrate (or, perhaps, to accomplish) the clan's choice, a bullock was sacrificed. These sacrificial rites offer a useful parable about the relationship between law and culture. The social order imposed by law depends crucially on the "culture" of the participants in the system - their habits, dispositions, views of the …


Constructive Induction Machines For Data Mining, Marek Perkowski, Stanislaw Grygiel, Qihong Chen, Dave Mattson Jan 1999

Constructive Induction Machines For Data Mining, Marek Perkowski, Stanislaw Grygiel, Qihong Chen, Dave Mattson

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

"Learning Hardware" approach involves creating a computational network based on feedback from the environment (for instance, positive and negative examples from the trainer), and realizing this network in an array of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Computational networks can be built based on incremental supervised learning (Neural Net training) or global construction (Decision Tree design). Here we advocate the approach to Learning Hardware based on Constructive Induction methods of Machine Learning (ML) using multivalued functions. This is contrasted with the Evolvable Hardware (EHW) approach in which learning/evolution is based on the genetic algorithm only. Various approaches to supervised inductive learning …
