Forensic Bird-Strike Identification Techniques Used In An Accident Investigation At Wiley Post Airport, Oklahoma, 2008, Carla J. Dove, Nor Faridah Dahlan, Marcy Heacker Jan 2009

Forensic Bird-Strike Identification Techniques Used In An Accident Investigation At Wiley Post Airport, Oklahoma, 2008, Carla J. Dove, Nor Faridah Dahlan, Marcy Heacker

Human–Wildlife Interactions

On March 4, 2008, a Cessna Citation 1 (Model 500) crashed in a wooded area near Wiley Post Airport, Oklahoma, killing all 5 people on board. This paper describes the detailed forensic methods and expertise used by the Smithsonian Institution’s Feather Identification Lab to identify the bird that caused this bird-strike incident. We used standard methods of whole-feather analysis, microscopic examination, and DNA barcoding in this case to identify American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) as the bird species involved in this fatal crash. We also report the importance of proper field investigation and evidence collection for accurate results, …


Robust Sensor Networks In Homes Via Reactive Channel Hopping, Mo Sha, Greg Hackmann, Chenyang Lu Jan 2009

Robust Sensor Networks In Homes Via Reactive Channel Hopping, Mo Sha, Greg Hackmann, Chenyang Lu

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

Home area networks (HANs) consisting of wireless sensors have emerged as the enabling technology for important applications such as smart energy and assisted living. A key challenge faced in deploying robust wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for home automation applications is the need to provide long-term, reliable operation in the face of the varied sources of interference found in typical residential settings. To better understand the channel dynamics in these environments, we performed an in-depth empirical study of the performance of HANs in ten real-life apartments. Our empirical study leads to several key insights into designing robust HANs for residential environments. …

Job Engagement : Examining The Relationship With Situational And Personal Factors, Smita Vanam Jan 2009

Job Engagement : Examining The Relationship With Situational And Personal Factors, Smita Vanam

Master's Theses

The major purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which two job resources, autonomy and supervisor support, and two personality traits, openness to experience and extraversion, were related to job engagement and whether they interact with each other to influence job engagement. In particular, this study examined whether personality traits moderate the relationship between job resources and job engagement. Using a sample of 162 full-time employees, the results showed that only autonomy and supervisor support related significantly to job engagement even when personality traits were taken into consideration. However, the personality traits did not relate to job …

Rictor/Torc2 Regulates Fat Metabolism, Feeding, Growth And Life Span In C. Elegans, Alexander A. Soukas, Elizabeth A. Kane, Christopher E. Carr, Justine Melo, Gary Ruvkun Jan 2009

Rictor/Torc2 Regulates Fat Metabolism, Feeding, Growth And Life Span In C. Elegans, Alexander A. Soukas, Elizabeth A. Kane, Christopher E. Carr, Justine Melo, Gary Ruvkun

Biology Faculty Scholarship

Rictor is a component of the target of rapamycin complex 2 (TORC2). While TORC2 has been implicated in insulin and other growth factor signaling pathways, the key inputs and outputs of this kinase complex remain unknown. We identified mutations in the Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of rictor in a forward genetic screen for increased body fat. Despite high body fat, rictor mutants are developmentally delayed, small in body size, lay an attenuated brood, and are short-lived, indicating that Rictor plays a critical role in appropriately partitioning calories between long-term energy stores and vital organismal processes. Rictor is also necessary to maintain …
