Stand Structure And Acorn Production Of The Island Scrub Oak (Quercus Pacifica), Mario B. Pesendorfer, Kathryn M. Langin, Brian Cohen, Zachary Principe, Scott A. Morrison, T. Scott Sillett

Monographs of the Western North American Naturalist

Island scrub oak (Quercus pacifica), a keystone chaparral species on Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, and Santa Catalina islands, provides habitat for a diverse assemblage of plant and animal species. The restoration of oak habitat is a management priority, but little is known about Q. pacifica stand structure and acorn production, 2 parameters that are important in the species’ recovery. To investigate whether species interactions and abiotic conditions have an effect on stand structure and acorn production, we sampled within-stand densities, tree sizes, and acorns in the 3 island populations that have been exposed to different herbivores, seed predators, …

Cross V. Vandyke: Admitted Only Means Admitted, Tyler Stockton

Montana Law Review Online

Five delegates to the 1972 Montana Constitutional Convention sued to block Lawrence VanDyke’s (“VanDyke”) name from appearing on the ballot as a candidate for the Montana Supreme Court, arguing he did not meet the minimum eligibility requirements. The Court, in a 4–3 vote, found VanDyke eligible because Article VII, Section 9(1) of the Montana Constitution only requires one be “admitted” to the Montana Bar and not “admitted” and on “Active Status” per the Montana Bar ByLaws.

Improving The Health Impacts Of Whole Grains Through Processing: Resistant Starch, Dietary Fiber Solubility, And Mineral Bioaccessibility, Jennifer A. Arcila Castillo

Department of Food Science and Technology: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Whole grains are good sources of starch, dietary fiber, and mineral elements. Starch is an important source of energy but also can be transformed to resistant starch to impart lower caloric value and increase total dietary fiber. Dietary fibers impart physiological benefits to human body once they are fermented by the gut microbiota. Mineral elements are important co-factors of a wide range of enzymes involved for instance in glucose and lipid metabolism. In general human body is capable of absorbing only 21-28% of most mineral elements, and gut bacteria are only able to ferment 34% of the dietary fiber from …

Lion Tales: The Impact Of Educational Policy Discourse On The Perpetuation Of The Perception Of African American Academic Underachievement, Marshetta Shavon Brazley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Academic achievement for African American students has remained consistently low over time. Some researchers cite the disintegration of the black family as the cause. Others have argued that IQ is largely influenced by genetics, and that African Americans are genetically predisposed to be less intelligent than other races. One researcher traces the socio-historical connection between the institution of slavery and the current inequality inherent in the American education system. He also contends that the differences between African American culture and mainstream culture are so great that they adversely impact African American academic achievement. The purpose of the critical comparative discourse …

Leadership Styles Of Clinical Coordinators And Clinical Instructors In Physical Therapy Clinical Education, Allison Kellish

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

The APTA has identified the roles of the CCCE and CI as leaders in physical therapy clinical education. In the literature there appears to be an absence of studies examining the CCCE and CI leadership style and its impact on the preparation for clinical instruction, extra effort, job satisfaction and effectiveness of quality clinical education. The purpose of this study was to examine the leadership styles of CIs and CCCEs and to discern if there was a correlation between CI’s and CCCE’s perceptions of leadership style and perceptions of leadership effectiveness based upon three leadership outcomes. The second purpose of …

Dutch Landscape Painting: Documenting Globalization And Environmental Imagination, Irene J. Klaver

Proceedings from the Document Academy

There is an old saying that God made the Earth, but the Dutch made the Netherlands; they did this by engineering relationships of the water and land.

The Dutch landscape is an authored landscape documenting human reaction to geological, economic, and cultural changes. As a consequence of Dutch globalization, landscape painting arose as a new form of painting, documenting these changes and reactions to them. In a period of newly created land, reclaimed and constructed by sheer human activity, the explicit construction of new environments apparently elicited an implicit desire to hold on to an older, familiar traditional landscape. The …

Best Practices In Training Caregivers To Implement Behavioral Interventions, Joanna Lomas Mevers, Nathan Call, Mindy Scheithauer, Sarah Miller, Dana Bamford, Kelly Autry, Faith Cawthon

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

It has been well documented in the literature that behavioral interventions are effective in reducing a wide variety of maladaptive behaviors such as aggression, self-injury and destructive behaviors (Allen & Warzak, 2000; Campbell, 2003). Despite the success of these interventions, they are often implemented in tightly controlled settings with third party individuals that are able to implement procedures with a high degree of integrity (Fryling, 2014). Due to the complexities of the natural environment, caregivers may be less likely to implement behavioral interventions with the same degree of integrity and have limited available time for training on procedures. Therefore, it …

S.T.O.I.C Classroom Managment, Mark J. Fynewever

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

All teachers want their students to be successful in both school and in life. However, difficult classroom behavior often drives teachers from the classroom. At the core of student success and teacher effectiveness is a strong classroom management plan. In this session participants will learn how to structure their classroom management under the S.T.O.I.C model. STOIC stands for Structure, Teach, Observe, Interact, and Correct. The STOIC model aligns directly with the core PBIS elements and can easily be adapted from classroom to classroom. It gives participants practical direction for developing a strong classroom management plan!

Creating Engaging Sw-Pbis Lessons, Becca Rackley

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

Schools are always looking for engaging new ways to teach PBIS lessons. Meaningful lessons that get students involved are not always easy to create and online resources are difficult to tailor to fit an individual school's needs.

This presentation allows teachers to examine the critical components that make PBIS lessons effective. Through this discussion, teachers will evaluate different templates that make the development of strong PBIS lessons less daunting.

Most importantly, attendees will have a chance to work collaboratively with teachers from other buildings and create an interactive lesson that teaches one behavior expectation from their school's matrix. By sharing …

Pbis 101: An Introduction To The Tier 1 Pbis Framework, Tara Davis

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Resilience is currently a key theme within salt marsh ecological studies. Understanding the factors that affect salt marsh accretion and elevation gains are of paramount importance if management of these ecosystems is to be successful under increasing synergistic stresses of storm surge, inundation period, and eutrophication. We present the results of salt marsh fucoid algae (ecads) removal experiments on Spartina alterniflora abundance, production and decomposition and the sedimentary dynamics of two marshes on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The presence of the thick layer of marsh fucoids had a significant and positive influence on sediment deposition, accretion, concentration of water column particulates, …
