Atta Cephalotes As A Bioassay Tool To Identify The Presence Of Polar Secondary Compounds In Medicinal Plants Of Monteverde, Costa Rica, May 2007, John Thurston
Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation
Atta cephalotes has shown potential as a bioassay tool for antifungal characteristics of medicinal plants (Hubbel, et al. 1983). This experiment tests a variety of plants with differing secondary compounds to explore further uses of A. cephalotes as a bioassay tool. A polar solvent was used to make crude extractions of twelve different medicinal plants to test the preference of Atta for the extract compared to a control. It was predicted that A. cephalotes would show a negative preference towards plants with antifungal compounds. However, negative preference for Brugmansia suaveolens, a plant with no known antifungal compounds, deterred A. cephalotes …
What Replaced The Kolkhozes And Sovkhozes? A Political Ecology Of Agricultural Change In Post-Soviet Russia, Elizabeth C. Engebretson
What Replaced The Kolkhozes And Sovkhozes? A Political Ecology Of Agricultural Change In Post-Soviet Russia, Elizabeth C. Engebretson
German and Russian Studies Honors Projects
Russian agriculture underwent drastic changes after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. A large-scale collective system, with a planned economy, was expected to enter the market economy rapidly with the help of new legislation and programs. Things did not go as the central Russian government and international development organizations had planned. Instead of joining the global capitalist system, rural Russians turned to small private plots and practiced subsistence agriculture for survival. Some people attempted to start private farms but were often not successful because of a lack of capital and structural support. Other enterprises remained variations of collective …
Dislodged But Not Dead: Survivorship Of A High Intertidal Snail Following Wave Dislodgement, Luke P. Miller, Michael J. O'Donnell, Katharine J. Mach
Dislodged But Not Dead: Survivorship Of A High Intertidal Snail Following Wave Dislodgement, Luke P. Miller, Michael J. O'Donnell, Katharine J. Mach
Faculty Publications, Biological Sciences
Waves breaking on rocky shorelines impart large forces on intertidal organisms, sometimes dislodging individuals. Dislodged individuals may be deposited in habitats that have a greater risk of predation or that prevent return to preferred regions on the shore. Thus, dislodgement is often assumed to be lethal. We experimentally dislodged Littorina keenae snails from high in the intertidal zone to test the likelihood of survival. Under a variety of wave conditions, we measured return rates to the high shore of 54–90%, so in this species, dislodgement is not equal to death. Snails showed a strong preference for returning to the approximate …

Update On Children And Nature, Coalition For Education In The Outdoors
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
Arlington, Va.-This month, millions of kids swap school for the pool, ready for summer break. But is nature part of their plans? For too many, the answer is no. With that in mind, an eclectic group of the nation's leaders-including governors, mayors, CEOs, educators, and clergy-is launching an ambitious effort to reconnect kids with nature. This new effort, the National Forum on Children and Nature, will find and fund 20 projects across the country that demonstrate how kids can rediscover nature, through education, health, the media and the built environment.

I have been a Christian and been interested in nature for as long as I can remember. Because these values in my life started at the same time, I see the direct correlation between the two. Growing up on a small hobby farm in Northwest Ohio, I had many opportunities to experience the Creation. From the farm animals that I raised, to the ditches that I explored, to the fields I walked, and the country roads where i searched for signs of wildlife; I was aware of being in and part of the Creation. I was created by the same …

Environmental Assessment Bird Damage Management In The Wyoming Wildlife Services Program, United States Department Of Agriculture, Animal And Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Wildlife Services (WS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD), and Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) propose to continue the current bird damage management program in Wyoming. WS, USFWS, FAA, WGFD, and WDH use an adaptive integrated wildlife damage management (IWDM) approach to reduce bird damage to property, agricultural resources, natural resources, and to protect human health and safety. In addition, under the current program, the USFWS would continue to issue depredation permits based on need and …
Comparison Of Soil Bulk Density After Poultry Litter Application, Philip Price
Comparison Of Soil Bulk Density After Poultry Litter Application, Philip Price
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
During the Spring and Fall of 2006, a study was conducted at the Agricultural Research and Education Complex of Western Kentucky University to monitor the effects of poultry litter application on soil bulk density. A randomized split block design was used for this study. The soil was a Crider silt loam (Typic Paleudalf). Poultry litter treatments were compared with inorganic fertilizers. The same basic fertility treatments were applied in this study from 2001-2006. Those treatments consisted of poultry litter applied at the nitrogen rate (NPL), poultry litter applied at the phosphorus rate only (PPL), poultry litter applied at the phosphorus …

Nietzsche's Recommendations For The Philosopher, Anthony Boutelle
Nietzsche's Recommendations For The Philosopher, Anthony Boutelle
Macalester Journal of Philosophy
Nietzsche’s philosophical endeavor can be broadly characterized by two complementary ambitions acting throughout his corpus: a relentless critique of traditional metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology; and an effort to confront the nihilistic predicament which seems to result from these negations. Nowhere are these ideas more directly relevant and their implications more dramatic than in the discipline of philosophy itself; the task of the philosopher must be transformed by these revaluations of its tools and subject matter. Accordingly, Nietzsche’s writings ought to recommend a sort of thinker fitted to the pursuit of this task, but owing to his literary style there exists …
Black & Davidson On Metaphor, Emily Ayoob
Black & Davidson On Metaphor, Emily Ayoob
Macalester Journal of Philosophy
Most theories of metaphor look at what occurs inside a metaphorical phrase and posit a shift in meaning in the metaphorical words. This includes the classic “Models and Metaphor,” by Max Black, who distinguishes between the literal words of the phrase and the metaphorical words. On this view, the two interact in such a way that the meanings of the metaphorical words change. In another view, Donald Davidson takes a radical stance in his “What Metaphors Mean” to assert that the words in a metaphor mean nothing other than their original, literal meaning. Both theories suffer from problems: Black fails …

Semantic Event Tracker (SET) is a highly interactive visualization tool for tracking and associating activities (events) in a spatially and Multimedia Enriched Virtual Environment. SET provides integrated views of information spaces while providing overview and detail to improve perception and evaluation of complex scenarios. We model an event as an object that describes an action and its location, time, and relations to other objects. Real world event information is extracted from Internet sources, then stored and processed using Semantic Web technologies that enable us to discover semantic associations between events. We use RDF graphs to represent semantic metadata and ontologies. …
Animal Welfare Perspectives On Recreational Angling, Steven J. Cooke, Lynne U. Sneddon
Animal Welfare Perspectives On Recreational Angling, Steven J. Cooke, Lynne U. Sneddon
Animal Welfare Collection
Fish captured by recreational anglers are often released either voluntarily or because of harvest regulations in a process called ‘‘catch-and-release’’. Catch-and-release angling is thought to be beneficial for the conservation of fish stocks based on the premise that most of the fish that are released survive. However, expanding interest in animal welfare has promoted debate regarding the ethics of catch-and-release angling. There is a growing recognition that fish can consciously experience nociception and that they have some capacity to experience pain and fear. Indeed, empirical anatomical, physiological, and behavioural evidence supports the notion that fish could experience these two forms …
Fish Behaviour And Welfare, Lynne U. Sneddon
Fish Behaviour And Welfare, Lynne U. Sneddon
Ethology Collection
Fish are farmed intensively in aquaculture which is an economic necessity to provide large quantities for the food industry yet many species’ normal behaviours may be impaired by the nature of intensive aquaculture. Recommendations have suggested that for optimum welfare, animals should be able to express their natural suite of behaviours. Confining large migratory species such as salmonids to relatively small tanks or cages means they are unable to perform the extensive migrations performed by their wild counterparts so are these fish frustrated? When considering why salmonids migrate, their motivation is to find food yet if they are well fed …
Two Dogmas Of Analytical Philosophy, Greg Taylor
Two Dogmas Of Analytical Philosophy, Greg Taylor
Macalester Journal of Philosophy
In his landmark article, “Two Dogmas of Empiricism,” W.V.O. Quine pushed analytical philosophy into its post-positivist phase by rejecting two central tenets of logical empiricism. The first dogma was the distinction between analytic and synthetic statements; the second was reductionism, or the belief that to each synthetic sentence there corresponds a set of experiences that will confirm or disconfirm it. But in both “Two Dogmas” and Word and Object, Quine stretches analytical philosophy to its limits. The problem is, ironically, his adherence to two separate dogmas. The first stems from Quine’s empiricism: he insists that there is nothing more to …
American Children Encountering The Bible: Ensuring Engagement Through The American Education System And The Children’S Bible, Zachary S. Teicher
American Children Encountering The Bible: Ensuring Engagement Through The American Education System And The Children’S Bible, Zachary S. Teicher
Religious Studies Honors Projects
Society and parents continue to ensure that American children are familiar with the stories of the bible. The bible is part of the American cultural milieu and has been inculcated in successive generations through schools and children’s bibles. Parents in the twenty-first century have turned to adapted children’s bibles as the principal means by which to teach their children the bible. This is due in large part to the bible loosing its place in the curriculum of American public schools. This paper examines how children's bibles developed, why teaching the bible has been a priority, and who have been the …
A Historic Perspective: The Response Of Breeding Passerines To Rangeland Alteration In Rich County, Utah, Lindsay J. Brown
A Historic Perspective: The Response Of Breeding Passerines To Rangeland Alteration In Rich County, Utah, Lindsay J. Brown
Biology
Shrub-dominated ecosystems on private lands are important rangeland resources through much of the western U.S., including Rich County, Utah. Because of its important role in livestock production, this shrubsteppe ecosystem has been exposed to a variety of sagebrush removal methods. Little is known about the relative effects of chemical, mechanical, or burn treatments on breeding passerine communities. Furthermore, most studies address only short-term effects. We studied breeding passerine communities and vegetation on 17 untreated sites and 49 range sites treated between 1962 and 2004 to examine the effects of treatment type and treatment age. The sagebrush treatments produced considerable changes …
Effects Of Environmental Conditions And Insect Life Stages On Performance Of Entomopathogenic Nematodes For Suppression Of Plum Curculio, Conotrachelus Nenuphar (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), In Northern Utah, Hong Geun Kim
Biology
In a series of field and laboratory experiments, I tested two entomopathogenic nematode species, two nematode concentrations, and three life stages of the economically damaging insect pest, Contrachelus nenuphar, to support the development of a biological control program for this pest in northern Utah. Two entomopathogenic nematodes, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and Steinernema feltiae, were tested for their virulence. The population of H. bacteriophora tested was collected from soil infested with plum curculio in Brigham City, UT in 2002. The S. feltiae population was obtained from a commercial source. In temperature bioassays, the two nematodes species exhibited different thermal ranges. …
The Role Of Individual-Level Behavior: From Safe Passage To Self-Organization, Bertrand H. Lemasson
The Role Of Individual-Level Behavior: From Safe Passage To Self-Organization, Bertrand H. Lemasson
Biology
A considerable amount of research in fisheries exists to assess and predict the success rate of fish attempting to navigate through artificial barriers in their environment. Such barriers typically include dams, culverts, power plants, and pumping stations. This dissertation contributes to fisheries science, and general ecology, by determining how individual-level behavior affects the movement decisions of solitary fish and how simple inter-individual interactions can generate complex forms of collective behavior. The current research improves our ability to model small-scale movement patterns, such as those expected within the artificial restrictions of a water diversion facility, and provides insight into the communication …

“It is only natural that we and our children find many things that are hard to talk about. But anything human is mentionable and anything mentionable is manageable.The mentioning can be difficult, and the managing too, but both can be done if we’re surrounded by love and trust.” ~Fred Rogers This quote could be talking about many different things that parents find difficult to talk to their children about, such as smoking, drinking, drugs, divorce, and sex. I was introduced to this quote as a one about parents talking to their children about death. Death is a part of life, …

Arkansas Water Resources Center Technical Reports
The City of Rogers is one of the fastest growing communities in Arkansas. Located in Northwest Arkansas, Rogers lies in two primary watersheds; the Illinois River Watershed and Beaver Lake Watershed. The Illinois River Watershed receives municipal wastewater discharge from most of the metropolitan communities in Northwest Arkansas, along with nonpoint source urban and agricultural runoff. The Illinois River originates in Arkansas and flows west into Oklahoma where it is classified as a scenic river. The river has been a source of interstate disputes for a number of years. A federal interstate compact commission was established to mediate these disputes, …
