Paper Session Iii-A - Endeavor Academy, Michelle Peters

Space Congress® Proceedings

Florida has identified a critical need to attract, train and retain science and mathematics educators in their respective fields. In a report published by the Florida Department of Education, findings indicate that middle and high school level mathematics, science, and technology areas represent half of the subjects where Florida is facing a teacher shortage. The report also found that 23-percent of new science teachers and 14-percent of newly hired teachers are teaching out of their fields.

Seeking to address these issues, Florida’s Technological Research and Development Authority (TRDA) sought and received funding from the US and Florida Departments of Education …

Effects Of Size And Temperature On Developmental Time, James Gillooly, Eric Charnov, Geoffrey West, Van Savage, James Brown

Biology Faculty & Staff Publications

Body size and temperature are the two most important variables affecting nearly all biological rates and times. The relationship of size and temperature to development is of particular interest, because during ontogeny size changes and temperature often varies. Here we derive a general model, based on first principles of allometry and biochemical kinetics, that predicts the time of ontogenetic development as a function of body mass and temperature. The model fits embryonic development times spanning a wide range of egg sizes and incubation temperatures for birds and aquatic ectotherms (fish, amphibians, aquatic insects and zooplankton). The model also describes nearly …

Consumer Preferences For Personal Digital Assistant (Pda) In Hong Kong : A Conjoint Analysis Approach, Kei Kong Lau, Wai Hung Yip

Bachelor Degree - Marketing - Final Year Project

Stepping into the 21 st century, high technology becomes more and more important. Peoples not only use computers at home or in office, but also need to manage their work by computer outdoorsy. Therefore, PDA becomes a more popular mobile digital product in Hong Kong. Besides, because of its relatively low price, small in size and wide coverage of support software, number of PDA users in Hong Kong is increasing tremendously.

Since there are many special features of PDA that affect the consumers’ decision, we are going to find out the consumer preferences for PDA by using a Conjoint Analysis …

Movement, Distribution, And Predation: Lepidomeda Vittata And Nonnative Salmonids In Eastern Arizona, Michael G. Sweetser, Scott D. Bryan, Anthony T. Robinson

Western North American Naturalist

Nonnative rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are stocked into several reservoirs in the range of federally threatened Little Colorado spinedace (Lepidomeda vittata), and so have the opportunity to negatively impact Little Colorado spinedace populations. We examined rainbow trout escapement from Nelson Reservior into Nutrioso Creek, critical habitat for L. vittata. We also examined movements of L. vittata and incidence of predation by rainbow trout on L. vittata. We detected no movement of rainbow trout out of Nelson Reservoir over 4 years of study. Lepidomeda vittata marked in 3 streams did not move much; but sample …

Late Pleistocene Mollusks From The Southern Black Hills, South Dakota, Christopher N. Jass, Jim I. Mead, Amy D. Morrison, Larry D. Agenbroad

Western North American Naturalist

Pleistocene-age mollusks recovered from the Nelson-Wittenberg Site and Mammoth Site provide information on paleoenvironments of the southern Black Hills, South Dakota. New mollusk records for the Mammoth Site include Vertigo modesta, Catinella sp., and Gyraulus parvus. The presence of V. modesta, Columella columella alticola, and Pupilla muscorum at the Nelson-Wittenberg Site suggests cooler than modern conditions in the Black Hills during the Pleistocene. Although the majority of identified taxa are consistent with previous interpretations of an arid, shrubsteppe environment for the Black Hills during the Wisconsin Glaciation, V. modesta and C. c. alticola suggest the presence of at least …

Movements And Home Ranges Of San Joaquin Kit Foxes (Vulpes Macrotis Mutica) Relative To Oil-Field Development, Bruce W. Zoellick, Charles E. Harris, Brian T. Kelly, Thomas P. O'Farrell, Thomas T. Kato, Marni E. Koopman

Western North American Naturalist

We examined the effect of oil-field development on movements and patterns of spatial use of San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica) on the Naval Petroleum Reserves in California (NPRC) in the San Joaquin Valley. To do this, we compared movements and home ranges of kit foxes from June 1984 to September 1985 in areas developed for petroleum production (30% of native habitat lost to production facilities) and areas with little development (3%). Distances traveled nightly by kit foxes did not differ between levels of petroleum development or between sexes (P > 0.2). Mean length of nightly movements …

Patterns Of Energy Allocation Within Foragers Of Formica Planipilis And Pogonomyrmex Salinus, Peter Nonacs

Western North American Naturalist

Foraging workers of Formica planipilis and Pogonomyrmex salinus were collected at various distances from their colony by pitfall traps in the former species and by catching workers recruited to food at known locations in the latter. In F. planipilis the number of larger workers increased in proportional representation to distance from the nest. Larger workers also weighed relatively less with distance from the nest, indicating that energy or water allocated for maintaining all foragers is patterned such that resource loss with forager mortality is minimized. However, the smallest size class involved in foraging shows the opposite pattern, with heavier individuals …

Flood Flows And Population Dynamics Of Arizona Sycamore (Platanus Wrightii), Juliet C. Stromberg

Western North American Naturalist

Platanus wrightii is a pioneer tree species of warm-temperate riparian deciduous forests in southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Dendrochronological analysis of populations in central and southern Arizona indicated that P. wrightii seedlings establish episodically. Long intervals (10–40 years) elapsed with no apparent establishment. Seedling establishment years were positively associated with winter flood size and annual flow rate, and weakly negatively associated with summer flood size. Large floods sometimes preceded multi-year establishment waves. During the past 2 decades an abundance of winter floods and very wet springs has allowed frequent establishment of P. wrightii. For example, plants established at many …

New Records And Range Extensions Of Species Of Dipogon (Hymenoptera, Pompilidae) In Colorado, Howard E. Evans, David A. Leatherman

Western North American Naturalist

Four species of Dipogon are recorded from Colorado for the first time. These are hurdi Evans, pulchripennis (Cresson), graenicheri Banks, and brevis (Cresson). All are inhabitants of wooded areas and are believed to nest in cavities in trees. Notes are presented on habitat and prey of these 4 species and of the recently described species kiowa Evans.

Does The Presence Of Wyethia Mollis Affect Growth Of Pinus Jeffreyi Seedlings?, G. M. Riegel, T. J. Svejcar, M. D. Busse

Western North American Naturalist

Regeneration of Pinus jeffreyi in the Sierra Nevada is often limited on sites dominated by Wyethia mollis. Allelopathic chemicals and competition for soil moisture have been suggested as possible mechanisms for limiting regeneration. We tested the hypothesis that soil chemical and microbial properties from sites in different stages of succession influence seedling growth of Pinus jeffreyi. Soil was collected from an early-seral site dominated by Wyethia mollis, a mid-seral site dominated by the shrubs Arctostaphylos patula, Ceanothus prostratus, C. velutinus, and Purshia tridentata, and a late-seral site dominated by mature Pinus. These sites were compared for …
