A Uniformly Dissipative Scheme For Stationary Statistical Properties Of The Infinite Prandtl Number Model, Wenfang (Wendy) Cheng, Xiaoming Wang

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The purpose of this short communication is to announce that a class of numerical schemes, uniformly dissipative approximations, which uniformly preserve the dissipativity of the continuous infinite dimensional dissipative complex (chaotic) systems possess desirable properties in terms of approximating stationary statistics properties. in particular, the stationary statistical properties of these uniformly dissipative schemes converge to those of the continuous system at vanishing mesh size. the idea is illustrated on the infinite Prandtl number model for convection and semi-discretization in time, although the general strategy works for a broad class of dissipative complex systems and fully discretized approximations. as far as …

A Semi-Implicit Scheme For Stationary Statistical Properties Of The Infinite Prandtl Number Model, Wenfang Cheng, Xiaoming Wang

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We propose a semisecret in time semi-implicit numerical scheme for the infinite Prandtl model for convection. Besides the usual finite time convergence, this scheme enjoys the additional highly desirable feature that the stationary statistical properties of the scheme converge to those of the infinite Prandtl number model at vanishing time stop. One of the key characteristics of the scheme is that it preserves the dissipativity of the infinite Prandtl number model uniformly in terms of the time stop. So far as wo know, this is the first rigorous result on convergence of stationary statistical properties of numerical schemes for infinite …

Lidar-Derived Benthic Habitat Maps Enable The Quantification Of Potential Dredging Impacts To Coral Reef Ecosystems, Brian K. Walker, Richard E. Dodge, David S. Gilliam

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Proceedings, Presentations, Speeches, Lectures

An essential component to the analysis of ecosystem services is to characterize and define the major habitats within the area of interest. Aerial photography and/or satellite imagery coupled with geographic information systems (GIS) are frequently used to identify and quantify habitats in open terrestrial ecosystems. However, it is more difficult to successfully apply this methodology to deeper, <20 m, underwater environments. Light detection and ranging (LIDAR), a relatively new remote sensing technology that provides detailed bathymetry, can be used when adequate imagery is not available. This study uses LIDAR as the basis to characterize various benthic habitats in a coral reef ecosystem in order to quantify the habitats for a Habitat Equivalency Analysis (HEA) related to planned dredging activities to expand the Port Everglades entrance channel, Broward County, FL. As part of a regional mapping effort, marine benthic habitats were characterized for Broward County, FL. A mosaic of interpolated, sunshaded, laser bathymetry data served as the foundation upon which acoustic ground discrimination, limited subbottom profiling and aerial photography, and groundtruthing data were added in a GIS to aid in interpretation of benthic habitats. Expert-driven visual interpretation outlined geomorphological features in the LIDAR data at a scale of 1:6000 with a minimum mapping unit of 1 acre. The map of Broward County yielded a high overall accuracy of 89.6%. To quantify the potential dredging impacts, the habitat layer was clipped in GIS to the boundaries of anticipated direct and indirect impacts of the proposed project. Then the area of each clipped polygon was totaled for each habitat by impact type. HEA and Florida’s Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) were performed using these areas. This work would not have been possible using satellite imagery or aerial photography alone and illustrates the capability of relatively new remote sensing technologies to aid in the definition and quantification of habitats for ecosystem service analyses.

Leadership For Today Effective Decision Making Strategies For Groups, Karla Trautman

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Have you ever been faced with making a difficult decision? If so, you were likely challenged to discover facts, balance emotions, and take into account the conse¬quences that the resulting action will have on others. In other words, decision making is hard work! Decision making is also not an easy process for orga¬nizations, committees, and groups of people to under¬take. In all likelihood, we can remember times when a group successfully (or not so successfully) made a deci¬sion. Often, well-thought-out decisions are remembered for their successful impact on the group or community. Likewise, poor decision making by a group will …

An Exploratory Investigation Of Frequently Cited Articles From The Early Childhood Intervention Literature, 1994 To 2005, Juli Pool, Marisa Macy, Suzanne Bells Mcmanus, Jina Noh

Early and Special Education Faculty Publications and Presentations

The authors explored frequently cited articles across four peer-reviewed journals in early intervention (EI) and early childhood special education (ECSE). The Social Science Citation Index was used to examine journal articles from 1994 to 2005 in: Early Childhood Research Quarterly, Infants and Young Children, Journal of Early Intervention, and Topics in Early Childhood Special Education. Results for the most frequently cited EI/ECSE journal articles are reported.

Ecological Niche Of The 2003 West Nile Virus Epidemic In The Northern Great Plains Of The United States, Michael C. Wimberly, Michael B. Hildreth, Stephen P. Boyte, Eric Lindquist, Lon Kightlinger

Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences Faculty Publications

Background

he incidence of West Nile virus (WNv) has remained high in the northern Great Plains compared to the rest of the United States. However, the reasons for the sustained high risk of WNv transmission in this region have not been determined. To assess the environmental drivers of WNv in the northern Great Plains, we analyzed the county-level spatial pattern of human cases during the 2003 epidemic across a seven-state region.

Methodology/Principal Findings

County-level data on WNv cases were examined using spatial cluster analysis, and were used to fit statistical models with weather, climate, and land use variables as predictors. …
