Assessing Big Sagebrush At Multiple Spatial Sites, Mike Karl, Jon Sadowski Jan 2005

Assessing Big Sagebrush At Multiple Spatial Sites, Mike Karl, Jon Sadowski

United States Bureau of Land Management: Staff Publications

This technical note describes how big sagebrush habitats (Artemisia tridentata, including Wyoming, basin, and mountain subspecies) are being assessed and managed at multiple spatial scales within a Bureau of Land Management resource area in southeast Oregon. It shows how the assessment results can be used to make determinations pertaining to standards and guidelines for greater sage-grouse and other animals that use sagebrush habitats. In this example, the assessment included information at the broad-scale (Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project; 145 million acres), mid-scale (Southeast Oregon Resource Management Plan-Final Environmental Impact Statement; 4.6 million acres, and Louse Canyon Geographic …

Historical Responses Of Marine Turtles To Global Climate Change And Juvenile Loggerhead Recruitment In Florida, Joshua Reece Jan 2005

Historical Responses Of Marine Turtles To Global Climate Change And Juvenile Loggerhead Recruitment In Florida, Joshua Reece

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Marine turtle conservation is most successful when it is based on sound data incorporating life history, historical population stability, and gene flow among populations. This research attempts to provide that information through two studies. In chapter I, I identify historical patterns of gene flow, population sizes, and contraction/expansion during major climatic shifts. In chapter II, I reveal a life history characteristic of loggerhead turtles previously undocumented. I identify a pattern of juvenile recruitment to foraging grounds proximal to their natal nesting beach. This pattern results in a predictable recruitment pattern from juvenile foraging ground aggregations to local rookeries. This research …

Native And Invasive Competitors Of The Eastern Oyster Crassostrea Virginica In Mosquito Lagoon, Florida, Michelle Boudreaux Jan 2005

Native And Invasive Competitors Of The Eastern Oyster Crassostrea Virginica In Mosquito Lagoon, Florida, Michelle Boudreaux

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Populations of Crassostrea virginica within Mosquito Lagoon, Florida have recently undergone significant die-offs, which are a subject of major concern. Restoration efforts within Mosquito Lagoon are focusing on reconstructing the three-dimensional reef habitats. Before effective protocols can be established, however, important questions about the sources of juvenile and adult oyster mortality must be answered. Potential causes of Crassostrea virginica mortality in the Indian River Lagoon system include sediment loads, competition, predation, and disease. My research focused on the interactions between oysters and the competitors that may affect the settlement, growth, and survival of Crassostrea virginica. The four objectives of my …

The Glycosphingolipid Globotriaosylceramide In The Metastatic Transformation Of Colon Cancer, Olga Kovbasnjuk, Rakhilya Mourtazina, Boris Baibakov, Thomas Wang, Christian Elowsky, Michael A. Choti, Anne Kane, Mark Donowitz Jan 2005

The Glycosphingolipid Globotriaosylceramide In The Metastatic Transformation Of Colon Cancer, Olga Kovbasnjuk, Rakhilya Mourtazina, Boris Baibakov, Thomas Wang, Christian Elowsky, Michael A. Choti, Anne Kane, Mark Donowitz

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

The most devastating aspect of cancer is the emergence of metastases. Thus, identification of potentially metastatic cells among a tumor cell population and the underlying molecular changes that switch cells to a metastatic state are among the most important issues in cancer biology. Here we show that, although normal human colonic epithelial cells lack the glycosphingolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), this molecule is highly expressed in metastatic colon cancer. In addition, a subpopulation of cells that are greatly enriched in Gb3 and have an invasive phenotype was identified in human colon cancer cell lines. In epithelial cells in culture, …

Proving Ground: Richard Harding Davis In The American West, Char Miller Jan 2005

Proving Ground: Richard Harding Davis In The American West, Char Miller

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

The idea of Texas staggered Richard Harding Davis. That, in any event, is how the youthful managing editor of Harper's Weekly portrayed his response to the Lone Star State after boarding a train in New York City and heading south in January 1892 for a three-month tour of Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado. At twenty-eight, already a much-heralded journalist for his investigative reports on Philadelphia's underworld, and his gripping accounts of the devastating Johnstown Flood of 1889, Davis had been editing Harper's tor a year and was eager for a change of pace. A western jaunt, he reasoned, would present a …

Effective Work Practices For Floss Development: A Model And Propositions, Kevin Crowston, Hala Annabi, James Howison, Chengetai Masango

School of Information Studies - Faculty Scholarship

We review the literature on Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) development and on software development, distributed work and teams more generally to develop a theoretical model to explain the performance of FLOSS teams. The proposed model is based on Hackman’s [1] model of effectiveness of work teams, with coordination theory [2] and collective mind [3] to extend Hackman’s model by elaborating team practices relevant to effectiveness in software development. We propose a set of propositions to guide further research.

Water Resources On The Monterey Peninsula : How The Efficient Use Of Water Through Increased Conservation, Water Reuse, And Aquifer Storage And Recovery Can Help To Meet Water Demands In The Urban Sector : A Capstone Project ..., Jessica Sharkey

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

As the population along our nation's coastline continues to increase, greater demands are placed on potable water supplies. In response to this and the contamination of groundwater and surface water due to pollution, communities such as the Monterey Peninsula are looking for alternatives to alleviate water supply problems. However, the development of new water supplies can be costly and have adverse environmental impacts. Through an extensive literature review and communication with experts in their respective fields, recommendations are made as to the best options available to meet current water demands without the development of new water supplies. An emphasis is …

Marketing Gm-Labeled Food Products In The United Kingdom: Can American Agribusinesses Do It Profitably?, Nathan S. Hill, Deevon Bailey Jan 2005

Marketing Gm-Labeled Food Products In The United Kingdom: Can American Agribusinesses Do It Profitably?, Nathan S. Hill, Deevon Bailey

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

American food companies selling products in the European Union are faced with the dilemma of either segregating non-GM components as inputs in food products or labeling their products as containing genetically modified material. This paper presents an analysis of whether or not GM-Iabeled food products could be sold profitably in the United Kingdom. The results suggest that GM-Iabeled foods would likely appeal principally to a low-income segment of the market in the EU, but that selling GM food products might still be profitable.

2005 State Of The Bay Report, Casco Bay Estuary Partnership

Publications

Casco Bay abounds in marine life and scenic beauty, but how healthy is the bay? To answer that question, we must look at many aspects of a complex ecosystem in which air, land and water interact with the humans and wildlife that share the resources of the bay. The State of the Bay 2005 is an attempt to gauge the overall health of this system by looking at some of its components and the forces driving change.
