Decomposition And The Freeze-Thaw Process In Northwestern Montana: A Preliminary Study, Laura Beth Wagster
Decomposition And The Freeze-Thaw Process In Northwestern Montana: A Preliminary Study, Laura Beth Wagster
Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers
The goal of this project is to observe decomposition rates of four wolf carcasses over the duration of winter in northwestern Montana and to consider these rates as they apply to humans. Four wolf carcasses were studied in order to assess decomposition rates, particularly winter intervals of the freeze-thaw process and the possibility of the reemergence of insects during ideal conditions. It is hypothesized that the majority of insect activity on the carcasses will be limited to only internal activity during harsh weather conditions. Both carcasses placed in June decayed at predictable rates of decompositional stages and wolves 1 and …
Influence Of Embryonic Metabolic Rate And Incubation Temperature On Incubation Length Variation In Neotropical Passerines, Alina Maria Niklison
Influence Of Embryonic Metabolic Rate And Incubation Temperature On Incubation Length Variation In Neotropical Passerines, Alina Maria Niklison
Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers
Variation in embryonic developmental periods influences fitness, but causes of interspecific variation are poorly understood. Allometry, for example, does not explain variation in incubation periods among neotropical passerines. Incubation temperature can explain some variation in developmental periods, but substantial variation remains unexplained. Here we examine two previously untested alternatives. Adult metabolic rates differ among species and similar differences among embryos may explain some variation in embryonic development rates; higher metabolism may allow faster cellular proliferation. Alternatively, metabolic rates are temperature dependent, and metabolic rates might respond differentially to temperature among species and compensate for differing incubation temperatures. These alternatives are …
An Interlinear Analysis Of Seven Kalispel Texts From Hans Vogt, Kelsi Camp
An Interlinear Analysis Of Seven Kalispel Texts From Hans Vogt, Kelsi Camp
Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers
This thesis is an interlinearization of seven Kalispel texts originally published in 1940 by Hans Vogt. The texts were published with sentence-by-sentence English translations but were not further analyzed by Vogt. Here, they are analyzed at the morpheme level, providing data for further research on the language and for language documentation and preservation purposes. The thesis includes an introductory section with background and methodology, the interlinearized texts, and a list of stems, affixes, and roots occurring in the texts.

In the grip of drought, livestock producers often must deal with the additional impact of wildfire. While drought conditions develop gradually and can be anticipated, losses due to wildfire are sudden and devastating.
Definitions And Descriptions: Conventional, Natural, And Organic Beef Production And Consumption, Tyler A. Melroe, Erik R. Loe
Definitions And Descriptions: Conventional, Natural, And Organic Beef Production And Consumption, Tyler A. Melroe, Erik R. Loe
SDSU Extension Extra Archives
Natural and organic beef production was only 1.1% of total beef production and 1.6% of total U.S. beef sales in 2006 but is the fastest growing sector in the beef industry. With demand continuing to surge in these markets, you will find that terminology used in these marketing strategies is confusing. Beef that is produced following “natural” or “organic” protocols is assumed to have been raised without hormones or antibiotics. But “natural” and “organic” are not the same, and “natural” also is variable.
Beyond Blame—Mens Rea And Regulatory Crime, Arthur Leavens
Beyond Blame—Mens Rea And Regulatory Crime, Arthur Leavens
Faculty Scholarship
In the first part of this Article, the Author briefly outlines the conceptual underpinnings of the common law approach to mens rea, with its blame focus, and the Supreme Court's early efforts to develop a different approach in interpreting regulatory criminal statutes. The Author begins the second part of this Article with Lambert v. California, in which the Court staked out the constitutional limits for the employment of strict liability in public welfare or regulatory crimes, and, first employed notice-based mens rea. This part goes on to examine the ensuing cases in which the Court, at least implicitly, fleshes out …
The Overlapping Magisteria Of Law And Science: When Litigation And Science Collide, William G. Childs
The Overlapping Magisteria Of Law And Science: When Litigation And Science Collide, William G. Childs
Faculty Scholarship
In this Article, the Author explores two unexpected consequences of joining science and law at the hip, and considers whether these consequences represent reciprocal contamination, or instead cross-fertilization, of law and science. In Part I of this Article, the Author provides a brief review of the evolution of legal standards for the admissibility of what is termed "scientific evidence," including Frye and Daubert and their progeny. In Part II of the Article, the Author gives a (necessarily limited) overview of certain modern scientific paradigms of reliability and he explores the realities of peer reviews and of other institutions in science …
International Legal Malpractice: Not Only Will The Dog Eventually Bark, It Will Also Bite The Sixth Annual Symposium On Legal Malpractice And Professional Responsibility: Essay., Ethan S. Burger
St. Mary's Law Journal
The internationalization of legal practice presents numerous issues for lawyers, such as obtaining qualifications to practice law in foreign jurisdictions and developing the necessary knowledge. Different and possibly conflicting notions of standards of care and professional responsibility will arise. Globalization is widely regarded as the principal driving force in international economic and political relations. From the standpoint of business activity there are myriad ways to assess the impact of globalization. These include tracking rates of exchange, observing altered methods, or examining how attitudes and information has changed. Globalization has increased the demand for specialized accounting and legal services connected with …

The Admission Of Unreliable Expert Testimony Offered By The Prosecution: What's Wrong With Daubert And How To Make It Right, Elizabeth L. Decoux
The Admission Of Unreliable Expert Testimony Offered By The Prosecution: What's Wrong With Daubert And How To Make It Right, Elizabeth L. Decoux
Utah Law Review
On December 29, 1992, Phoenix, Arizona letter carrier Ray Krone answered a knock at his door. On his doorstep he found police officers seeking to question him about the murder ofa bartender he knew. The police asked Krone to bite a Styrofoam mold so his dental impression could be compared to bite-marks on the dead woman's body. Krone, who had no criminal record, readily complied because he knew the bite-mark would not match his dental impression: he was innocent. Krone was stunned when police later arrested him based on a local dentist's opinion that Krone's teeth made the bite-marks on …
Bringing Scalia's Decalogue Dissent Down From The Mountain, Kyle Duncan
Bringing Scalia's Decalogue Dissent Down From The Mountain, Kyle Duncan
Utah Law Review
Scalia's dissent in McCreary County may well turn out to be important and controversial, but not for the reasons that legal scholars have so far identified. A close reading of the dissent-in light of Scalia's overall approach to using tradition in constitutional interpretation-shows that Scalia is not using tradition to propose an Establishment Clause hardwired by the founders for monotheistic religions. Tradition does not typically serve that kind of positive function in Scalia's jurisprudence, and it does not do so in McCreary County. Instead, tradition serves as a tool of judicial restraint, precisely to avoid imprinting the judiciary's own views …
Introduction: Infringement Nation: Copyright Reform And The Law/Norm Gap, John Tehranian
Introduction: Infringement Nation: Copyright Reform And The Law/Norm Gap, John Tehranian
Utah Law Review
In recent years, legislators, judges, and practicing attorneys have critiqued law reviews for their excessively theoretical bent, arguing that their contents have become increasingly devoid of any real-world value. At the risk of alienating my academic colleagues and shocking the members of the copyright bar, I would like to think that this symposium is different. By bringing together a group of leading copyright scholars, including Tom Bell, Dan Burk, Wendy Gordon, Justin Hughes, Peter Jaszi, Bobbi Kwall, David Nimmer, Pam Samuelson, and Rebecca Tushnet, to contemplate the issue of legal reform in practical terms, this symposium strives to foster a …
Method And Madness In Copyright Law, Dan L. Burk
Method And Madness In Copyright Law, Dan L. Burk
Utah Law Review
Copyright law is a source of nearly endless scholarly fascination because of the paradoxes, the absurdities, the contradictions in its doctrines. Lewis Carroll's White Queen had nothing on copyright law. Copyright asks us to accept far more than six impossible, almost nonsensical assertions as part of its standard doctrine. Copyright asks us to believe, for example, that creative works have an existence independent of their embodiment that corporations, rather than people, can author documents that computer code is a literary work, like poetry or novels that artists have a special propensity to bungle their business affairs. The list seems nearly …
Naming Rights: Attribution And Law, Rebecca Tushnet
Naming Rights: Attribution And Law, Rebecca Tushnet
Utah Law Review
Attribution remains a powerful incentive for creative production. Moreover, norms of credit, including the ones that produced all the footnotes in this piece, are extremely valuable for particular professions and individuals laboring within those professions. Sometimes, however, law and morality should be left to diverge, when law's tools are too crude to make the fine distinctions that prevail in ethics. Attribution rights provide an example of this situation. "Who steals my purse steals trash, but should still go to jail; but he that filches from me credit for my creative works deserves condemnation, not injunction.
Application Of Surface-Ocean Remote-Sensing To The Characterisation Of Biogeographic Patterns Of Benthic Fauna In A Temperate Shelf Sea, Kirsten Alexandra Richardson
Application Of Surface-Ocean Remote-Sensing To The Characterisation Of Biogeographic Patterns Of Benthic Fauna In A Temperate Shelf Sea, Kirsten Alexandra Richardson
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Ecosystem scale, adaptive management of the marine environment, emphasised by the Convention on Biological Diversity, requires a clear understanding of the spatial and temporal dynamics of the system in question. Classical species-based biogeography alone is not sufficient to describe those dynamics at the appropriate scale for whole ecosystem management. A novel, multidisciplinary, complex systems approach has been developed for characterising the biogeographic distribution of benthic fauna in a temperate shelf sea system through application of remote sensing to the principles of benthic-pelagic coupling. A six year time series of satellite remote sensing data (AVHRR SST and SeaWiFS Chl-α, LwN(555, 670)) …
Species Interactions During Succession In Rockpools: Role Of Herbivores And Physical Factors, Laure Marie-Louise Jeanne Noel
Species Interactions During Succession In Rockpools: Role Of Herbivores And Physical Factors, Laure Marie-Louise Jeanne Noel
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Positive interactions are increasingly recognised to be important as community structure processes. Bertness and Callaway's model predicts positive interactions to be important under high consumer pressure or high environmental stress. Associational defences between organisms, when palatable algae take advantage of living with less palatable ones, will be the dominant structuring forces under high consumer pressure and low physical stress. Habitat ameliorations become more important under harsh physical conditions and low consumer pressure. This model was tested at Wembury Bay, Devon, Southwest England, using rockpools and emergent rock habitats distributed over the vertical height of the shore to generate gradients of …
An Evaluation Of Multivariate Statistical Techniques For The Analysis Of Yield From Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) Breeding Trials Data, Ahmed Abdullah
An Evaluation Of Multivariate Statistical Techniques For The Analysis Of Yield From Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) Breeding Trials Data, Ahmed Abdullah
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
This project involved two locations (Breda and Tel Hadya) over two seasons (1993 and 1994). Yield was found to have been affected by many factors including environment, genotype and morphological characters. A genotype-environment interaction (GEl) was also discovered. To investigate the influence of morphological characters on yield parameters, multivariate statistical techniques (canonical analysis, factor analysis and multiple regression analysis (linear and exponential)) were used. Multivariate statistical techniques were applied to three hybrids (Hybrid 1, 2 and 3) in replicated field plots at two locations (Breda and Tel Hadya) in two seasons. Canonical analysis and factor analysis revealed a significant relationship …
Ecological Impact Of The Carcinus Maenas (L.) Fishery 'Crab-Tiling' On Estuarine Fauna, Emma Sheehan
Ecological Impact Of The Carcinus Maenas (L.) Fishery 'Crab-Tiling' On Estuarine Fauna, Emma Sheehan
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
The ecological effects of the green shore crab Carcinus maenas (L.) fishery was investigated in estuaries on the south west coast of the UK. The fishery known as 'crab-tiling' involves 'crab-tilers' laying artificial refugia such as car tyres, guttering or roof tiles, intertidally in estuaries. 'Crab-tiles' are specifically laid on mudflats and sandflats to attract moutling crabs seeking refuge, these crabs are then collected to use or sell as bait for recreational angling. Many estuaries that are crab-tiled are subject to a range of International, European and National legislation as they are of great conservation importance. For example, they provide …
Epidemiology Of Human And Bovine Tuberculosis In The Federal Capital Territory And Kaduna State Of Nigeria, Aishatu Abubakar
Epidemiology Of Human And Bovine Tuberculosis In The Federal Capital Territory And Kaduna State Of Nigeria, Aishatu Abubakar
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
The epidemiology of bovine and human tuberculosis (TB) was studied in the Federal Capital Territory and Kaduna state of Nigeria using four diagnostic methods; tuberculin test, culture and acid-fast stain of milk, animal (cattle) tissue and human sputum. Two PCR-based molecular techniques (Spoligotyping and Variable Number Tandem Repeat) were used to identify the species and strains of the isolates, while IS61 10-RFLP molecular method was optimised and applied on few samples to deten-nine the efficacy of the method. Of the 967 lactating cows from 57 herds tested for TB, 14.6%, 4% and 81.4% were positive, inconclusive and negative reactors respectively. …
Nutritional Evaluation Of Animal By-Products For The Partial Replacement Of Fishmeal In Diets For Gilthead Sea Bream (Sparus Aurata L.), Jerome Laporte
Nutritional Evaluation Of Animal By-Products For The Partial Replacement Of Fishmeal In Diets For Gilthead Sea Bream (Sparus Aurata L.), Jerome Laporte
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
As well as reducing the level of protein in feeds, the strategy of replacing fishmeal with alternative protein sources may be an effective approach towards reducing costs and offering more sustainable feeds for aquaculture. Within the framework of this study, four trials were conducted to evaluate the nutritional potential of selected animal by-products, namely: Poultry Meat Meal (PMM), steam Hydrolysed Feather Meal (HFM), Enzyme treated Feather Meal (EFM) and Spray Dried Haemoglobin (SDH), as pat1ial substitutes for fishmeal in the diet of gilthead sea bream. The research strategy employed followed a two phase scheme which consisted of determining ingredient restrictions …

"Feelin' Blue, Oh What To Do?": Coping With Negative Emotions, Jana L. Brinkman
Graduate Research Papers
Over the past five years I have had the opportunity to work with children and youth, ages birth to eighteen, in a variety of environments. The settings in which I have interacted with children include nonprofit agency environments, after school programs, church environments, parks and recreation programs, individual and small group counseling sessions, classroom guidance settings, and home environments. My own observations and experiences along with those of parents, school staff, university faculty, fellow undergraduate and graduate students, and co-workers have supported my conclusion that children from early childhood to high school youth struggle with knowing how to appropriately respond …

Comparison Of Instrumental Methods For Measuring Seed Hardness Of Food-Grade Soybean, Mioko Tamura, Bo Zhang, Joyce Berger-Doyle, Pengyin Chen
Discovery, The Student Journal of Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences
Seed hardness is an important factor in determining soybean suitability for natto production. There is no established methodology for testing seed texture of soybeans. The objective of this study was to develop an efficient method by examining different instruments and seed parameters that could be potentially used for testing soybean seed hardness. Five food-grade soybean genotypes with different seed sizes were used to determine seed hardness and water-absorption capacity. Water absorption capacity was expressed by swell ratios for seed weight, seed dimension, and volume of water changes before and after soaking. Seed hardness test was conducted by a one-bite method …
