Diet And Territory Size Of Butterflyfish In Habitats With Varying Coral Cover And Composition, Michael Berumen Jan 2001

Diet And Territory Size Of Butterflyfish In Habitats With Varying Coral Cover And Composition, Michael Berumen

Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal

Given the highly stochastic nature of larval supply, coral reef fish may often settle in sub-optimal habitats with limited prey. This study examines the foraging and territorial habits of a coral feeding butterflyfish, Chaetodon baronessa, living in two contrasting habitats with markedly different coral prey. In exposed front reef habitats, where coral prey was highly abundant, C. baronessa was highly selective in its choice of prey and aggressively maintained small territories. In contrast, in back reef habitats where coral prey was scarcer, C. baronessa was more generalist in its choice of prey, and had larger territories that were only weakly …

Laser Stabilization At 1536 Nm Using Regenerative Spectral Hole Burning, P B. Sellin, N M. Strickland, Thomas Böttger, J L. Carlsten, R L. Cone Jan 2001

Laser Stabilization At 1536 Nm Using Regenerative Spectral Hole Burning, P B. Sellin, N M. Strickland, Thomas Böttger, J L. Carlsten, R L. Cone

Physics and Astronomy

Laser frequency stabilization giving a 500-Hz Allan deviation for a 2-ms integration time with drift reduced to 7 kHz/min over several minutes was achieved at 1536 nm in the optical communication band. A continuously regenerated spectral hole in the inhomogeneously broadened 4I15/2(1)!4I13/2(1) optical absorption of an Er31:Y2SiO5 crystal was used as the short-term frequency reference, while a variation on the locking technique allowed simultaneous use of the inhomogeneously broadened absorption line as a long-term reference. The reported frequency stability was achieved without vibration isolation. Spectral hole burning frequency stabilization provides ideal laser sources for high-resolution spectroscopy, real-time optical signal processing, …

An Alternative Use For Bagasse: Stabilizing Agent For Lead Waste, Michael A. Janusa Jan 2001

An Alternative Use For Bagasse: Stabilizing Agent For Lead Waste, Michael A. Janusa

Faculty Publications

Bagasse amounts to one- third of the cane ground and supplies fuel for the generation of steam in raw factories; however, most factories have an excess of bagasse during regular grinding season. Another method for the utilization of bagasse was investigated using bagasse as a stabilizing agent for heavy metal waste solidified /stabilized in cement. Lead nitrate was used as the model heavy me ta l waste with a 10 or 15 per cent lead by weight to cement loading. Samples were cured for 7, 14, and 28 days at 24°C. Samples containing bagasse typically resulted in TCLP extract lead …

Unique Supported-Model Classes Of Logic Programs, Pascal Hitzler, Anthony K. Seda Jan 2001

Unique Supported-Model Classes Of Logic Programs, Pascal Hitzler, Anthony K. Seda

Computer Science and Engineering Faculty Publications

We study classes of programs, herein called unique supported-model classes, with the property that each program in the class has a unique supported model. Elsewhere, the authors examined these classes from the point of view of operators defined relative to certain three-valued logics. In this paper, we complement our earlier results by considering how unique supported-model classes fit into the framework given by various classes of programs in several well-known approaches to semantics.

Discrete-Time Approximations Of Stochastic Differential Systems With Memory, Yaozhong Hu, Salah-Eldin A. Mohammed, Feng Yan Jan 2001

Discrete-Time Approximations Of Stochastic Differential Systems With Memory, Yaozhong Hu, Salah-Eldin A. Mohammed, Feng Yan

Articles and Preprints

In this paper, we develop two discrete-time strong approximation schemes for solving stochastic differential systems with memory: strong Euler-Maruyama schemes for stochastic delay differential equations (SDDE's) and stochastic functional differential equations (SFDE's) with continuous memory, and a strong Milstein scheme for SDDE's. The convergence orders of the Euler-Maruyama and Milstein schemes are 0.5 and 1 respectively. In order to establish the Milstein scheme, we prove an infinite-dimensional Itô formula for "tame" functions acting on the segment process of the solution of an SDDE. It is interesting to note that the presence of the memory in the SDDE requires the use …

Dissection: The Scientific Case For Alternatives, Jonathan Balcombe Jan 2001

Dissection: The Scientific Case For Alternatives, Jonathan Balcombe

Experimentation Collection

This article presents the scientific argument that learning methods that replace traditional nonhuman animal-consumptive methods in life science education—so-called alternatives to dissection—are pedagogically sound and probably superior to dissection. This article focuses on the pedagogy, a learning method’s effectiveness for conveying knowledge.

A Sequential Search Distribution: Proofreading, Russian Roulette, And The Incomplete Q-Eulerian Polynomials, Travis Herbranson, Don Rawlings Jan 2001

A Sequential Search Distribution: Proofreading, Russian Roulette, And The Incomplete Q-Eulerian Polynomials, Travis Herbranson, Don Rawlings

Mathematics

The distribution for the number of searches needed to find k of n lost objects is expressed in terms of a refinement of the q-Eulerian polynomials, for which formulae are developed involving homogeneous symmetric polynomials. In the case when k = n and the find probability remains constant, relatively simple and efficient formulas are obtained. From our main theorem, we further (1) deduce the inverse absorption distribution and (2) determine the expected number of times the survivor pulls the trigger in an n-player game of Russian roulette.

Sclerosponges: Potential High-Resolution Recorders Of Marine Paleotemperatures, Gary B. Hughes, Charles W. Thayer Jan 2001

Sclerosponges: Potential High-Resolution Recorders Of Marine Paleotemperatures, Gary B. Hughes, Charles W. Thayer

Statistics

Sclerosponges have great potential as seawater temperature recorders. These animals precipitate their skeletons in carbon and oxygen isotopic equilibrium with the surrounding seawater (Druffel and Benavides, 1986). Their skeletons also display chemical properties that vary directly with changes in environmental conditions. Lack of photosynthetic symbionts allows sclerosponges to live below the photic zone, providing the potential to investigate past marine conditions beyond the range of corals. Individual sponges live for several centuries, preserving archives of pre-and postindustrial seawater variations within single specimens (Hartman and Reiswig, 1980). Cross-correlation of successively older specimens could yield up to 2000 years of marine history. …

Introduction, Neil P. Bernstein Jan 2001

Introduction, Neil P. Bernstein

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

In this issue, the Iowa Academy of Science honors three of our colleagues who passed away in 2000. Duane Isely, Larry Eilers, and George Knaphus shared many of the same interests. All three were botanists, although George's research on fungi and heterotrophic protistans relegated him to the botany departments only by default. However, more importantly, all three were teachers. I believe that one of the lessons that they would have taught was the need to carefully document present patterns if we are to understand the future. However, many biologists poorly support this concept today.

Expanding The Notion Of Relevance In Is Research: A Proposal And Some Recommendations, Deepak Khazanchi, Bjørn Erik Munkvold Jan 2001

Expanding The Notion Of Relevance In Is Research: A Proposal And Some Recommendations, Deepak Khazanchi, Bjørn Erik Munkvold

Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Publications

Based on an analysis of a priori discussion on the notion of relevance, this paper proposes a holistic view of relevance in IS research. This expanded notion of relevance incorporates a broader definition of audience/stakeholder, and includes additional dimensions such as scope/value of relevant research, time frame, and "situatedness" of relevance. In view of this definition, it is argued that "practical relevance" is not the sole goal of academic research. Hence, the authors recommend, for example, that knowledge claims in IS need to be better communicated and targeted for the future development and recognition of the IS discipline.

Back To Classics: Teaching Limits Through Infinitesimals, Todor D. Todorov Jan 2001

Back To Classics: Teaching Limits Through Infinitesimals, Todor D. Todorov

Mathematics

The usual ϵ, δ-definition of the limit of a function (whether presented at a rigorous or an intuitive level) requires a “candidate L” for the limit value. Thus, we have to start our first calculus course with “guessing” instead of “calculating”. In this paper we criticize the method of using calculators for the purpose of selecting candidates for L. We suggest an alternative: a working formula for calculating the limit value L of a real function in terms of infinitesimals. Our formula, if considered as a definition of limit, is equivalent to the usual ϵ, δ-definition but does not involve …

An Exploratory Study Of School Counselors' Experiences With And Perceptions Of Asian-American Students' Concerns, Christine J. Yeh Jan 2001

An Exploratory Study Of School Counselors' Experiences With And Perceptions Of Asian-American Students' Concerns, Christine J. Yeh

School of Education Faculty Research

A study examined school counselors' experiences with and perceptions of Asian-American students. Participants were 154 school counselors in 113 East Coast schools. Results suggested that Asian-American students tended to seek help for academic, family, social, and cultural concerns. Results showed that counselors tended to address these concerns by using Rogerian therapy techniques, directive counseling, and group counseling; involving family and social networks; being aware of pertinent social issues; and employing creative arts activities. Counselors seemed to encounter challenges to counseling that were integrally related to Asian-American cultural contradictions with current counseling models. Counselors reported student coping strategies that involved seeking …
