Extinct And Extirpated Birds Of Texas, Stanley D. Casto

Bulletin of the Texas Ornithological Society

Twenty-four species or subspecies, some based on isolated skeletal fragments and of questionable status, have been reported from paleontological and archeological sites in Texas. One species dates from the Late Triassic, 3 from the Cretaceous, 7 from the Pliocene, 8 from the Pleistocene and 5 from the Holocene. Two species, the Passenger Pigeon and Carolina Parakeet, are known to have been extirpated from Texas in modern times.

An Automated Technique For Monitoring Nocturnal Avian Vocalizations, James B. Johnson, Daniel Saenz, D. Brent Burt, Richard N. Conner

Bulletin of the Texas Ornithological Society

We used audio recording dataloggers known as Frogloggers to collect nocturnal bird vocalizations at eight different sites within the Davy Crockett National Forest and the Stephen F. Austin Experimental Forest in eastern Texas from 9 May 2000 to 31 June 2001. We programmed the dataloggers to record for one-minute intervals at the beginning of each hour starting at 2100 and ending at 0200 DST. Our technique has the potential to determine the relative seasonal occurrence of nocturnally vocalizing species. Originally developed for amphibians, this technology is proving useful for avian monitoring.

A Nebraska Success Story: The Tri-Cities, Bree Dority O'Callaghan

Business in Nebraska

The Tri-Cities-Grand Island, Hastings, and Kearneyhave defied what the first American explorer of the area predicted. In 1806 Zebulon Pike believed it would " ... become in time equally celebrated as the sandy desarts (sic) of Africa." In fact, the opposite is true. The TriCities area is one of the fastest growing in Nebraska.

How has this area become so prosperous? A review of growth in· the Tri-Cities and the surrounding area over the past half century reveals some key facts that tell the success story. This review considers the Tri-Cities' past, present, and future population growth.

Review Of American Women Of Letters And The Nineteenth-Century Sciences: Styles Of Affiliation By Nina Baym, Melissa J. Homestead

Department of English: Faculty Publications

As in her previous books on nineteenth-century American women writers, Baym's most recent book presents an impressive survey and synthesis of women cultural producers and their products. Even though nineteenth-century American women had neither the education nor the opportunities to be research scientists in the modern sense (a sense that was only beginning to be formulated and institutionalized), Baym contends that they nevertheless "affiliated" themselves with the sciences and used print culture to promote science and (male) scientists to America as essential to its national identity. "Ceding most of the doing of science-the production of new scientific knowledge in the …

Moving Toward The Digital Age: Changes In Rural Nebraskans' Use Of Technology, John C. Allen, Rebecca J. Vogt, Sam Cordes, Randolph L. Cantrell

Publications from the Center for Applied Rural Innovation (CARI)

The use of telecommunications technologies nationwide has increased dramatically during the past five years. New applications are constantly being developed and implemented. How has rural Nebraskans’ use of telecommunications changed over the past five years? Does use of technology differ by age, income, and education?

This report details 2,841 responses to the 2002 Nebraska Rural Poll, the seventh annual effort to understand rural Nebraskans’ perceptions. Respondents were asked a question regarding their use of some telecommunications technologies or applications. Trends for this question are examined by comparing data from this year to the 1997 study. In addition, comparisons are made …

Why Craft Isn't Scary, Steve R. Johnson

Scholarly Publications

In April 2002, the Supreme Court of the United States decided United States v. Craft. The Court held that the federal tax lien attaches to a tax-debtor spouse’s interest in property held in tenancy by the entirety even when the other spouse does not owe tax and state law provides that entireties property and interests cannot be reached by separate creditors of only one spouse.

Craft was correctly decided. The older, contrary view that Craft displaced was fundamentally at odds with federal tax collection analysis as laid out by the Court. In addition, the old view invited tax abuse and …

An Empirical Analysis Of The Effect Of The Need For Closure On Materiality Thresholds Of Auditors, Cynthia M. Daily

Doctoral Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to identify the strengths of a specific motivator for judgment and decision-making, referred to as “need for closure” and determine how the strength of that motivator affects materiality judgments of auditors.

The extent to which auditors seek and process information prior to forming a judgment can have important consequences in the conduct of an audit. In this regard, psychology researchers have identified a personality characteristic—a motive for judgment and decision making—that influences the decision making process. This motive, referred to as the need for closure, pertains to the desire of individuals to clear …

Survival Analysis Of Internet Companies: An Application Of The Hazard Model, Khaled Elkhal

Doctoral Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to develop a model that predicts failure and estimates the time of survival of dotcoms using a number of financial and non-financial factors. This model can be used as a warning tool for stockholders, creditors, and consumers to protect themselves from such failures.

I employ the Cox (1972) Proportional Hazards Model in a cross-sectional and time-varying context using financial data over the 1998–2001 period. Results from a cross-sectional analysis reveal that the coefficient estimates for variables CFTL and NSTA are consistently negative and highly significant. This suggests that higher sales and cash flows lower …

Pattern Recognition For Electric Power System Protection, Yong Sheng

Doctoral Dissertations

The objective of this research is to demonstrate pattern recognition tools such as decision trees (DTs) and neural networks that will improve and automate the design of relay protection functions in electric power systems. Protection functions that will benefit from the research include relay algorithms for high voltage transformer protection (TP) and for high impedance fault (HIF) detection. A methodology, which uses DTs and wavelet analysis to distinguish transformer internal faults from other conditions that are easily mistaken for internal faults, has been developed. Also, a DT based solution is proposed to discriminate HIFs from normal operations that may confuse …
