Differential Responses Of Coyotes To Novel Stimuli In Familiar And Unfamiliar Settings, Charles E. Harris, Frederick F. Knowlton

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

We studied behavioral responses of captive and wild coyotes (Canis latrans) toward novel objects and artificial scent stations to determine how they might respond to novel stimuli used in coyote management and research. When captive coyotes encountered novel stimuli in unfamiliar surroundings they showed little avoidance, while the same stimuli caused avoidance and neophobic reactions among coyotes when encountered in familiar surroundings. In the field phase of the study, radio-collared coyotes in southern Texas were intensively monitored in order to relate space-use patterns to the locations where these coyotes were exposed to artificial scent stations. Coyotes were more …

A Review Of The Development Of An Internet Delivered Ll.M Program In The United States, William Byrnes

Faculty Scholarship

This article reviews the development of the first Internet delivered LL.M program (i.e. LL.M. of International Tax and Offshore Financial Centers, the ‘Program’) in the United States.

The paper comprises four sections: In Part 1 the economics reasons for, and logistics considerations of, the Internet delivered Program are addressed. Part 2 reviews the pedagogical approach to legal education employed in the United States, criticisms thereof, and finally examines an emerging pedagogical trend in the United Kingdom. Part 3 reviews the teaching tools employed in the Program International Tax and Offshore Financial Centers, and Part 4 reviews the practical aspects of …

The Demographic Response Of Bank-Dwelling Beavers To Flow Regulation: A Comparison On The Green And Yampa Rivers, Stewart W. Breck, Kenneth R. Wilson, Douglas C. Anderson

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

We assessed the effects of flow regulation on the demography of beavers (Castor canadensis) by comparing the density, home-range size, and body size of bank-dwelling beavers on two sixth-order alluvial river systems, the flow-regulated Green River and the free-flowing Yampa River, from 1997 to 2000. Flow regulation on the Green River has altered fluvial geomorphic processes, influencing the availability of willow and cottonwood, which, in turn, has influenced the demography of beavers. Beaver density was higher on the Green River (0.5–0.6 colonies per kilometer of river) than on the Yampa River (0.35 colonies per kilometer of river). Adult …

The Vacuum Buffer, Voicu Popescu

Link Foundation Modeling, Simulation and Training Fellowship Reports

Image-based rendering (IBR) techniques have the potential of alleviating some of the bottlenecks of traditional geometry-based rendering such as modeling difficulty and prohibitive cost of photorealism. One of the most appealing IBR approaches uses images enhanced with per-pixel depth and creates new views by 3D warping (IBRW). Modeling a scene with depth images lets one automatically capture intricate details, which are hard to model conventionally. Also, rendering from such representations has the potential of being efficient since it seems that the number of samples that need to be warped is independent of the scene complexity and is just a fraction …

Characterization Of The Native Cr2O3 Oxide Surface Of Cro2, Ruihua Cheng, B. Xu, C.N. Borca, Andrei Sokolov, C.S. Yang, Lu Yuan, Sy_Hwang Liou, Bernard Doudin, Peter A. Dowben

Peter Dowben Publications

Using photoemission and inverse photoemission, we have been able to characterize the Cr₂O₃ oxide surface of CrO₂ thin films. The Cr₂O₃ surface oxide exhibits a band gap of about 3 eV, although the bulk CrO₂ is conducting. The thickness of this insulating Cr₂O₃ layer is twice the photoelectron escape depth which is about 2 nm thick. The effective Cr₂O₃ surface layer Debye temperature, describing motion normal to the surface, is about 370 K. From a comparison of CrO₂ films grown by different techniques, with different …

Evaporation Estimates For Irrigated Agriculture In California, Charles M. Burt, Daniel J. Howes, Andrew Mutziger

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

All California irrigation districts that receive either federal or state water are now required to prepare Water Conservation Plans. For the first time in the history of most districts, they are developing an elementary water balance. The term "elementary" should be emphasized, because there are significant weaknesses in our knowledge of subsurface flows and some components of Evapotranspiration (ET). Irrigation districts generally use published "typical" values of ET for their water balance computations.

A Generalized Framework For Reasoning With Angular Directions, Mitra Debasis

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications

This extended abstract presents a new scheme for qualitative reasoning with directions between points in 2D-space, called Star-ontology(6). The current results of our study on the complexity issues for reasoning with incomplete/disjunctive information using this new ontology has been outlined here. We have also proposed a generalized framework Star-ontology(a) for an integer a, that could be specialized to many ontologies including some of the known ones like the 2D-Cradinal ontology for a=4, and the currently studied one for a=6. This generalization also points to an interesting direction for investigation in the field of spatio-temporal reasoning.

The Formation Of Vortex Loops (Strings) In Continuous Phase Transitions, Mark Bowick, Angelo Cacciuto, Alex Travesset

Physics - All Scholarship

The formation of vortex loops (global cosmic strings) in an O(2) linear sigma model in three spatial dimensions is analyzed numerically. For over-damped Langevin dynamics we find that defect production is suppressed by an interaction between correlated domains that reduces the effective spatial variation of the phase of the order field. The degree of suppression is sensitive to the quench rate. A detailed description of the numerical methods used to analyze the model is also reported.

Transverse Magnetism Of The Diluted Antiferromagnet Fe1-Xmgxbr2 (X=0.15), Christian Binek

Christian Binek Publications

Neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements of the diluted crystal Fe1−xMgxBr2 (xnot, vert, similar0.15) were performed. Successive phase transitions at zero applied field at TN1not, vert, similar12 K and TN2not, vert, similar10 K were found. A previous transverse term ferromagnetic moment was detected just below TN2.
