Essay: Bison Restoration In The Great Plains And The Challenge Of Their Management, Judith L. Mcdonald

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Efforts to save remnant wild bison from extermination have resulted in the establishment of herds on private, public, and tribal lands. Ironically, their successful restoration has evolved into a profitable agricultural industry and a practical alternative to raising domestic cattle. Bison restoration actively managed by humans raises ecological, ethical, and evolutionary questions about whether we are compromising their native ability to function in a grasslands ecosystem. In this essay I examine current bison management practices, conflicting human values about land-use practices, and emerging land-use initiatives focusing on wild bison and ecosystem restoration in the northern Great Plains.

Review Of Texas Bug Book: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly By C. Malcolm Beck And John Howard Garrett, W. Eugene Hall

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Seeing the title of this book prior to reading it, I was a bit concerned about its content and possible negative outlook towards insects. Having worked as an entomologist the past sixteen years and possessing a lifelong appreciation for insects and other arthropods, I tend to think of all insects as "good," very few if any of them "bad," and none of them "ugly." Like it or not, every species of insect serves a positive or beneficial purpose in the great scheme of things within the natural world. Insects ruled this planet long before humankind became established, continue to dominate …

Carbon Stable Isotope Analysis Of Bison Dentition, R. Mark Larson, Lawrence C. Todd, Eugene F. Kelly, Jeffrey M. Welker

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Understanding how bison behaved in the past can provide key insights for today's managers, ecologists, and anthropologists. However, the direct application of both historic documentation and modern field observations may not provide the necessary insights for understanding bison behaviors in archeological and paleontological contexts. In order to develop a better understanding of possible behavior within these contexts, we have developed individual foraging histories for 22 Bison bison from the Glenrock Buffalo Jump assemblage of the Plains Late Prehistoric period in Wyoming and four Pleistocene B. priscus from the Ukraine. Incremental stable carbon isotopic values of dental enamel were used to …

Review Of The Ecological Indian: Myth And History By Shepard Krech Iii, John C. Mohawk

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

In The Ecological Indian: Myth and History, anthropologist Shepard Krech III sets out to prove that the image of the indigenous peoples and cultures of the Americas so regularly invoked to demonstrate humanity's capacity to live harmoniously with nature is a misleading one, more the product of image building by modern ecologists than a reality of history. That image of the American Indian as ecologist was epitomized in a 1971 Keep America Beautiful, Inc. campaign against litter depicting actor Iron Eyes Cody as a Native American who shed tears over thoughtless acts of littering and pollution. It was an …

Where The Buffalo Roamed – Or Did They?, Richard Hart

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Grazing management on the Great Plains has been criticized for not more closely matching the presumed grazing patterns of bison. The critics assume that bison "flash grazed," that is, grazed heavily for a short time, then moved on, and did not return for months or even years. This assumption complements the traditional view of an annual north-south migration of the herds. However, evidence from explorers' and other travelers' journals contradict both flash grazing and annual north-south migration. In a few cases where prolonged continuous observations were made in the same favorable habitat, bison were seldom absent. In Canada, bison sometimes …

A Commentary On Bison And Cultural Restoration: Partnership Between The National Wildlife Federation And The Intertribal Bison Cooperative, Stephen Torbit, Louis Larose

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

In January 1997 the National Wildlife Federation and the InterTribal Bison Cooperative signed a memorandum of understanding formally recognizing our common goals of ending the slaughter of Yellowstone bison and working to repatriate buffalo to Native American reservations. It was the first time a formal relationship had ever been established between Native Americans and a national conservation organization. The partnership had two goals. The first goal was to reestablish management of North American bison as one of the premier wildlife species of the West, by restoring bison to those tribal and public land habitats capable of supporting their long-term survival. …

What The Past Can Provide: Contribution Of Prehistoric Bison Studies To Modern Bison Management, Kenneth Cannon

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

For over 100 years, bison in the Greater Yellowstone Area have been managed intensely. Even during the years of "natural regulation," bison herds have been heavily managed by culling. One of the fundamental goals of the plan for the Greater Yellowstone Area is to maintain the ecosystem's integrity using sound science. In order to reach this goal, it must be recognized that it is a dynamic system, continually undergoing change. However, our knowledge of such changes is extremely limited. In the case of bison, our knowledge is based on nonsystematically collected historic records and modern studies of small, isolated populations. …

Court Review: Volume 38, Issue 1 - Courting Justice With The Heart: Emotional Intelligence In The Courtroom, Nancy Perry Lubiani, Patricia H. Murrell

Court Review: Journal of the American Judges Association

American culture certainly has a word for sadness. In fact, we have several words, depression, dejection, sorrow, melancholy, despondency, and even a few colloquial phrases: “the blues,” “down in the dumps.” Sadness is probably one of the mildest emotions that judges see in their courtroom. On any given day they might also see anger, frustration, fear, impatience, apathy, boredom, awe, respect, intimidation, perhaps even some of the more welcome emotions, such as happiness, relief, or even joy, and that is just when the judge is on the bench. The list could go on and on. Other aspects of judicial work …

Airline Quality Rating 2001, Brent D. Bowen, Dean E. Headley

Airline Quality Rating Report

The Airline Quality Rating (AQR) was developed and first announced in early 1991 as an objective method of comparing airline quality on combined multiple performance criteria. This current report, Airline Quality Rating 2001, reflects monthly Airline Quality Rating scores for 2000. AQR scores for the calendar year 2000 are based on 15 elements that focus on airline performance areas important to air travel consumers.

The Airline Quality Rating 2001 is a summary of month-by-month quality ratings for the ten major U.S. airlines operating during 2000. Using the Airline Quality Rating system of weighted averages and monthly performance data in the …

Hide Glue Applicator, Chris Campo, Benjamin Carrasco, Elias Saliba

Mechanical Engineering

This study investigates the challenges inherent in applying hide glue in the crafting of violin and other stringed instruments. Hide glue, derived from animal collagen and protein, is essential for creating durable bonds that allow for necessary adjustments during fabrication. However, its meticulous heating and maintenance requirements pose logistical obstacles for luthiers lacking viable alternatives. To tackle this issue comprehensively, our project comprises several key components.

Initially, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the hide glue application process, delineating procedural steps and techniques to establish our design criteria and constraints. This foundational understanding formed the basis for further exploration. Additionally, …

Caring For Children And Caretakers, Mary Becker

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Commentary remarks on the work of Fineman and Williams, particularly their contributions to this Symposium. Both argue for better supports for caretakers and link such support to equality for women. In addition, this Commentary remarks on a recent article by Katherine Franke attacking feminist arguments for support of caretakers. Becker argues that better social and economic supports for caretakers and their dependents are necessary, not just to lessen the inequality between women and men, but as key components of a government fulfilling its primary goal—ensuring that all citizens are able to develop their capabilities.

Clinical Evaluation Of A Compomer In The Restoration Of Class I And Ii Cavities In Permanent Posterior Teeth: 1-Year Results, C.G. Toh, N. H. Abu Kasim

Research Publications (2000 to 2005)

The clinical performances of a compomer (Dyract AP") is combination with a non-rinse conditioner (K-0100”) and self-priming adhesive (K-0 I07”) were compared with a hybrid composite resin (Spectrum TPH”) in combination with a 36% phosphoric acid conditioner (DeTrey Conditioner”) and self-priming adhesive (K-0107”) in a randomized controlled split-mouth model. 23 patients with bilateral occlusal and/or interproximal caries had their teeth restored with Dyract AP in one quadrant and Spectrum TPH in the opposite quadrant by either one of the 2 evaluators. Removal of tooth structure was as dictated by caries and access. All non-caries fissures were sealed with either a …

Care As A Public Value: Linking Responsibility, Resources, And Republicanism, Linda C. Mcclain

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Article argues that care is a public value and that facilitating it is a component of government's responsibility to foster persons' capacities for self-government. Ample foundation for recognizing this value may be found in feminism and liberalism; this Article also suggests that important civic republican ideals, such as the political economy of citizenship, might be reconstructed to support it. "Welfare reform, phase two," with its rhetoric of supporting "working families," offers an opportunity to think creatively about institutional arrangements that would move the United States closer to a new caregiving order and to address the human costs of the …

Transitions are difficult for all of us, but for children and youth with emotional and behavioral challenges, transitions are often both more difficult and more frequent than for their peers. Even “normal”, age-defined transitions such as the transition to kindergarten or the transition to independent living are often extremely difficult for children and youth with emotional and behavioral challenges, and for their families or other caregivers. Transitions—accompanied by the disruption of routine and the need to interact with unfamiliar people—are precisely the types of situations that are often most unsettling and stressful for these children.
