Chama Mainstreet Community Economic Assessment, Jeffrey Mitchell

BBER Publications

An analysis of the Chama, New Mexico community and market area. Socioeconomic data, including population growth and selected demographic, economic, and housing characteristics are described. The author discusses the significant economic challenges facing Chama, which are due to its isolated, rural location; lack of exporting industries; and need for investment in infrastructure. Chamas only major industry is tourism, primarily the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. Using a location quotient analysis, the author discusses the area's pull factors and leakages in retail and services. He concludes with three recommendations for diversifying the local economy: establishing a base (export-oriented) industry in agriculture, …

Godless In Eden? : The Metroscape's Post-Modern Religious Life, Patricia Killen Jul 2006

Godless In Eden? : The Metroscape's Post-Modern Religious Life, Patricia Killen

Institute of Metropolitan Studies Publications

An independent proprietorship focused on eclectic spiritual quests, a fading historic Protestant denomination, a thriving suburban mega church, and a home base for organized atheism—these seemingly disparate entities are both old and new on the religious landscape of the Portland metro area. They exemplify long-standing patterns in the ways people in Oregon compose individual and corporate religious journeys—fluid, unfettered individual spiritual quests that for some coalesce into communal forms that provide structure, interpersonal connections and spiritual resources. At the same time, like the growing cone on Mount St. Helens, these groups are the crust of deeper activity, three decades of …

Los Terrores De La Hipervigilancia: Seguridad Y Nuevas Espacialidades De La Niñez, Cindi Katz Jul 2006

Los Terrores De La Hipervigilancia: Seguridad Y Nuevas Espacialidades De La Niñez, Cindi Katz

Publications and Research

A partir de estudios anteriores que vincularon las geografías de los niños y las niñas con un análisis de los efectos de la reestructuración de la economía global en la reproducción social, este artículo examina las nuevas espacialidades de la niñez en Estados Unidos. Sostengo que los espacios contemporáneos de la infancia, en todas las escalas, desde las del cuerpo hasta las globales, han transigido frente a la seguridad y al avance de la privatización. Recurro al lenguaje del «terror» para indagar estos efectos y sus consecuencias en la vida cotidiana de los niños y las niñas en un entorno …

First-Year Student Retention And Achievement: The Influence Of Diversity And Background Characteristics, Krystall Dunaway Jul 2006

First-Year Student Retention And Achievement: The Influence Of Diversity And Background Characteristics, Krystall Dunaway

Psychology Theses & Dissertations

The racial climate of a campus can be either prejudicial or cooperative, and is directly affected by the frequency and profoundness of diverse interactions (Antonio, 2001); the greater the number and meaningfulness of diverse interactions, the more positive the campus climate. When related to Tinto's Student Departure Theory (1993), it is not difficult to deduce that the more comfortable and satisfied a student feels with the diversity climate on campus, the more likely he or she is to feel integrated, thus to maintain his or her student status at that university and also to perform well academically. Conversely, incongruence, or …

Environmental Impact Of Wetland Resources Utilization In Simuyu Basin, Tanzania, Shadrack Mwakalila Jun 2006

Environmental Impact Of Wetland Resources Utilization In Simuyu Basin, Tanzania, Shadrack Mwakalila

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

There is a growing appreciation of the natural functions of wetlands, and the values and different forms of uses that humans attach to them. Wise use and special conservation strategies are therefore needed in order to sustain their productivity. Wetlands are one of the most fruitful areas of archaeological research, and they are the ideal setting in which to study the interactions between physical processes and human actions that encapsulate and exemplify many of the themes of man's impact on his environment. But all these beneficial functions of wetlands seem to be in danger of being lost to draining and …

Is A Shutdown Of The Thermohaline Circulation Irreversible?, Jianjun Yin, Michael E. Schlesinger, Natasha G. Andronova, Sergey Malyshev, Bin Li Jun 2006

Is A Shutdown Of The Thermohaline Circulation Irreversible?, Jianjun Yin, Michael E. Schlesinger, Natasha G. Andronova, Sergey Malyshev, Bin Li

Faculty Publications

The Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) plays a vital role in explaining past abrupt climate changes and in maintaining the current climate. Its remarkable nonlinear dynamics, first demonstrated by H. M. Stommel, have been supported by various types of climate models. This has led to severe concerns that global warming may shut down the THC irreversibly, with consequent catastrophic climate changes, particularly for Europe. Here we use an uncoupled ocean general circulation model (OGCM) and a coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) to investigate the nonlinear response of the THC to freshwater perturbations in the northern North Atlantic. We find that …

Patterns Of Habitat Use By Primates In Eastern Ecuador, Seema Nayan Sheth Jun 2006

Patterns Of Habitat Use By Primates In Eastern Ecuador, Seema Nayan Sheth

Theses

Lowland tropical rain forests of western Amazonia are characterized by the most speciose primate communities in the Neotropics, immediately leading to the question of to what extent does niche partitioning by primate species serve as a mechanism to promote species co-existence. Because the primate assemblages that we observe today reflect a combination of ecological and evolutionary processes, this study examines habitat occupancy and its relationship to phylogeny and space in a diverse diurnal primate community in an undisturbed lowland rain forest of Amazonian Ecuador. Specifically, the following null hypotheses are explored as potential factors that shape community structure: (1) mean …

The Internationalization Of Singapore's State Enterprise Network In The Context Of Asia's Transborder Industrialization: New Evidence From Indonesia, Vietnam And China, Caroline Yeoh, Victor Sim, Genrong Meng Jun 2006

The Internationalization Of Singapore's State Enterprise Network In The Context Of Asia's Transborder Industrialization: New Evidence From Indonesia, Vietnam And China, Caroline Yeoh, Victor Sim, Genrong Meng

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

State-led, market-driven interventions have been the hallmark of the Singapore `success story’. This paper revisits Singapore’s state-enterprise strategy, in the context of the city-state’s determined efforts at internationalization, and takes a closer look at the portability of this strategy, in the framework of Regionalization21, a series of transborder industrialization experiments in Indonesia, Vietnam and China. These state-engineered projects, orchestrated to encapsulate economic space for Singapore-based firms to expand into the region, remains controversial. This strategic initiative is promulgated on the exportability of Singapore’s state credibility, systemic and operational efficiencies as well as technological competencies, to locations where these attributes are …

To Know The One True God: Reconciling The God Of The Old Testament With The God Of The New Testament, Kelly D. Newman Jun 2006

To Know The One True God: Reconciling The God Of The Old Testament With The God Of The New Testament, Kelly D. Newman

Theses and Dissertations

There is a popular misconception in the world that Jehovah is too severe on occasion while Jesus Christ is always kind and merciful. The Latter-day Saint belief that Jehovah and Jesus are the same person presents a supposed conflict. There has not been much written on this subject by either non-Latter-day Saints or Latter-day Saints, thus, this thesis represents a unique contribution to a common perception prevalent in many Christian circles. The research of this thesis shows that the misconception is based on three problems: first, a misinterpretation of biblical stories in both the Old and New Testament; second, a …

Fog As A Water Supply In Desert Environments, Robert S. Schemenauer Jun 2006

Fog As A Water Supply In Desert Environments, Robert S. Schemenauer

2006

Rain and snow are not the only sources of water in arid environments. Substantial amounts of water enter watersheds through the interception of fog droplets by vegetation. This process of fog deposition is especially productive in mountainous areas where the fog is produced by the advection of clouds over the terrain. The combination of fog, with low visibilities, and moderate winds, leads to high fog fluxes that can be utilized by vegetation or artificial fog collectors. Fog water has been shown to be responsible for 20 to 30% of the water inputs in high elevation forests in the Eastern US. …
