Linking Remote-Sensing Estimates Of Land Cover And Census Statistics On Land Use To Produce Maps Of Land Use Of The Conterminous United States, George C. Hurtt, Lynn Rosentrater, Steve Frolking, B Moore Sep 2001

Linking Remote-Sensing Estimates Of Land Cover And Census Statistics On Land Use To Produce Maps Of Land Use Of The Conterminous United States, George C. Hurtt, Lynn Rosentrater, Steve Frolking, B Moore

Earth Sciences

Human use of the land has a large effect on the structure of terrestrial ecosystems and the dynamics of biogeochemical cycles. For this reason, terrestrial ecosystem and biogeochemistry models require moderate resolution (e.g., ≤0.5°) information on land use in order to make realistic predictions. Few such data sets currently exist. To create a land use data set of sufficient resolution, we developed models relating land cover data derived from optical remote sensing and a census database on land use for the conterminous United States. The land cover product used was from the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme DISCover global product, derived from …

The Use Of Landmarks By Clark's Nutcrackers: First Tests Of A New Model, Alan Kamil, Aleida J. Goodyear, Ken Cheng

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences

Animals use many different mechanisms to navigate in space. The characteristics of the mechanism employed are usually well-suited to the demands of each particular navigational problem. For example, desert ants navigating in a relatively featureless environment use path integration, birds homing or migrating over long distances use compasses of various sorts, salmon returning to their natal stream home on olfactory cues. The study of navigation requires the study of many different taxa confronting different problems. One interesting case 1 involves scatter-hoarding species that use memory to relocate their hidden food. Such animals face the problem of remembering many locations simultaneously. …

The Impact Of The Economy And Welfare Policy On Welfare Accessions: Implications For Future Reforms, Vicky N. Albert, William C. King Sep 2001

The Impact Of The Economy And Welfare Policy On Welfare Accessions: Implications For Future Reforms, Vicky N. Albert, William C. King

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This longitudinal study analyzes the impact of labor market conditions and welfare policies accompanying the 1990s waivers granted by the federal government to California and the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (PRWOA) on families entering welfare (accessions). A time series model was specified for analyzing the number of families entering welfare from January 1983 to December 1998. The findings suggest that in 1998 under PRWOA, all else constant, there were fewer case openings. Prior to the PRWOA, policy shifts of the 1990s did not have an impact on case openings. The findings also show that under economic recovery …

Does The Producer Have An Incentive To Sell Fed Cattle On A Grid?, Scott Fausti, Bashir Qasmi Sep 2001

Does The Producer Have An Incentive To Sell Fed Cattle On A Grid?, Scott Fausti, Bashir Qasmi

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

Barriers to the adoption of grid pricing by fed cattle producers are investigated over a 206-week period (Jan. 1997 to Dec. 2000). The empirical findings document: I) when fed cattle are evaluated on a grid pricing system versus a dressed weight pricing system, a price differential per cwt. and a per-head revenue differential exists over time, 2) the price differential per cwt. is subject to seasonal variation which contributes to inconsistent price signals transmitted to producers concerning the market value of carcass characteristics over time; 3) grid revenue per-head variability is consistently higher than dressed weight revenue per-head variability over …

This is the nineteenth and final volume in A J. Veenendaal's magnificent edition of the private correspondence of the Grand Pensionary of Holland, Anthonie Heinsius (1641-1720). Fully described in a previous issue of this journal (see "A Dutch Door to Europe, 1702-1720," Documentary Editing 19 [September 1997]: 57-61), Heinsius's correspondence has long been recognized as the single most important source for European international history during the War of the Spanish Succession and its immediate aftermath. Over the course of a thirty-three-year project, this volume completes the total of 23,274 edited letters in Dutch, French, German, and English from the period …

A Hybrid Edition For The Available Man: Review Of The Papers Of William Henry Harrison, 1800-1815,Ed. Douglas E. Clanin And Ruth Dorrel., William C. Digiacomantonio Sep 2001

A Hybrid Edition For The Available Man: Review Of The Papers Of William Henry Harrison, 1800-1815,Ed. Douglas E. Clanin And Ruth Dorrel., William C. Digiacomantonio

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

William Henry Harrison (1773-1841) is an early American example of that perennial political type, the "Available Man." How else to explain the success of a public figure whose first elective office (as territorial delegate to Congress) was won by a margin of one vote; whose fortunes as governor of the Indiana Territory (1801-1812) waned longer than they waxed; whose pinnacle of glory at Tippecanoe endures in the national memory more as a limerick than a battle; and who reaped the political dividends of that battle only after twenty-five years, in a presidential campaign waged primarily by the conspicuous avoidance of …

A New Key To The Species Of The Genus Cradytes Casey (Insecta: Coleoptera: Melyridae), Jonathan R. Mawdsley
