Distribution And Trends Of Endemic Hawaiian Waterbirds, Eben H. Paxton, Kevin Brinck, Adonia Henry, Afsheen Siddiqi, Rachel Rounds, Jennifer Chutz

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

Four endemic species of wetland-dependent waterbirds occur on the main Hawaiian Islands, all of which have experienced sharp population declines and are listed as endangered species. Twice per year, state-wide surveys are conducted to count waterbirds, but these surveys are evaluated only infrequently. We used a state-space approach to evaluate long-term (1986–2016) and short-term (2006–2016) trends and current distribution and abundance of endemic Hawaiian waterbirds. The most numerous species was the Ae‘o, or Hawaiian Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni), with a 5-year estimated average abundance of 1,932 individuals, followed by ‘Alae Ke‘oke‘o, or Hawaiian Coot (Fulica alai), …

Two-Handed Typing Method On An Arbitrary Surface, Shumin Zhai, Mingrui Zhang

Defensive Publications Series

A computing device may detect user input, such as finger movements resembling typing on an invisible virtual keyboard in the air or on any surface, to enable typing. The computing device may use sensors (e.g., accelerometers, cameras, piezoelectric sensors, etc.) to detect the user’s finger movements, such as the user’s fingers moving through the air and/or contacting a surface. The computing device may then decode (or, in other words, convert, interpret, analyze, etc.) the detected finger movements to identify corresponding inputs representative of characters (e.g., alphanumeric characters, national characters, special characters, etc.). To reduce input errors, the computing device may …

Anticancer And Antiangiogenic Activities Of Alkaloids Isolated From Lantana Camara By Adsorption On The Magnetic Nanoparticles, Hussein Kadhem Al-Hakeim, Rahman Sahib Al-Zabibah, Huda Falah Alzihari, Ali Khudhair Almensoori, Hazim A. Al-Zubaidi, Loiy Elsir Ahmed Hassan Hassan

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Lantana camara L. (L. camara) is a perennial shrub that contains low amounts of alkaloids. In the present study, the magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were used to isolate positively charged alkaloids from the methanolic extract of L. camara leaves. The crude alkaloid was fractionated using HPLC to separate the highest peak of the alkaloid fraction (HPAF). The crude alkaloids (CA) and HPAF were tested for their antiproliferative effect against cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HCT-116, and HeLa) and endothelial cells line (EA.hy926) as a standard cell line. Antiangiogenic properties were examined using rat aortic ring assay. …

Third- And Fifth-Order Geometric Aberrations In Magnetic Exponential Lens Model For Object Magnetic Immersion, Aymen Amer Mr., Ahmad K. Ahmad Professor

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

We numerically employ the differential algebraic technique to calculate the third and fifth-order geometric aberrations coefficients, which are derived by using the map method, of the magnetic exponential lens model. These coefficients are calculated for object magnetic immersion (OMI). The magnetic exponential model is used as an example for the magnetic round lens to calculate the coefficients. The numerical electron optical results are perfectly in match with the analytically results with a very small relative error (10^-10- 10^-12). The DA advantage technique is a very compendious, effective, proper, and accurate for analysis of electron optical aberration. …

Nanocellulose Sheets From Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches Treated With Naoh Solution, Farah Fahma, Faiza Ayu Lestari, Ika Amalia Kartika, Nurmalisa Lisdayana, Evi Savitri Iriani

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

The objective of this study is to produce nanocellulose sheets from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFBs). Nanocellulose sheets from OPEFBs were prepared through the dewatering process using vacuum filtration. Subsequently, the produced sheets were treated with NaOH solution to improve the mechanical stability of their structure, causing them to be firm in water. The water absorption of nanocellulose sheet increased with increasing NaOH concentrations up to 20 wt%, increasing tensile strength, and Young’s modulus, but decreased when they were treated with 30 wt%. The diameter shrinkage of nanocellulose sheets was directly proportional to the NaOH concentration and soaking time. …

Evaluation Of Friction Stir Processing For Fabrication Of Composites In The Context Of Industry 4.0: A Bibliometric Review, Arunkumar Bongale, Pragya Saxena, Satish Kumar

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Aluminum alloys having good strength to weight ratio and resistance to corrosion have a wide range of applications in aerospace, automobiles, military, sports and many other applications. In order to enhance the hardness and wear resistance of the surface without compromising the bulk properties, aluminum matrix based surface composites fabricated with various reinforcements on the surface are now a days being utilized widely as new generation materials. In the manufacturing of metal surface hybrid composites (precisely of light weight alloys like- Al, Mg, etc.), the friction stir processing is a promising new solid state processing technique which is versatile enough …

Validation Of Ensemble-Based Probabilistic Tropical Cyclone Intensity Change, Ryan D. Torn, Mark Demaria

Atmospheric and Environmental Science Faculty Scholarship

Although there has been substantial improvement to numerical weather prediction models, accurate predictions of tropical cyclone rapid intensification (RI) remain elusive. The processes that govern RI, such as convection, may be inherently less predictable; therefore a probabilistic approach should be adopted. Although there have been numerous studies that have evaluated probabilistic intensity (i.e., maximum wind speed) forecasts from high resolution models, or statistical RI predictions, there has not been a comprehensive analysis of high-resolution ensemble predictions of various intensity change thresholds. Here, ensemble-based probabilities of various intensity changes are computed from experimental Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) and Hurricanes …

Returning To Rejection: Outcomes And Boundary Conditions Of Mental Illness Stereotypes, Stefanie Fox

Dissertations and Theses

Mental illness is a common condition in the United States, with over 20% of working age adults managing a mental illness condition in a given year. Disclosure of mental illness is often required for workers to take advantage of employer-provided resources (e.g., accommodations), yet use of resources is exceedingly low (less than 10%). Negative stigma-related outcomes are a top reason for which individuals delay the use of resources. Using an experimental design in an online data collection of 242 participants over two time points, the current study builds on existing organizational diversity literature to examine the stereotypes associated with mental …

Taylor V. Riojas: Anatomy Of A Supreme Court Intervention That Should Not Have Been Necessary, Zamir Ben-Dan

Nevada Law Journal Forum

In September 2013, an inmate in a Texas prison allegedly spent six days in two uninhabitable cells. One cell was covered in “massive amounts of feces;” the other cell was freezing cold and lacked a sink, a bunk and a toilet, containing only a clogged floor drain for him to relieve himself. Confinement under these abominable conditions were plainly illegal under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Yet, two lower federal courts found, for slightly different reasons, that the inmate had no actionable constitutional claim and that the defendants were entitled to qualified immunity. Both decisions displayed a …
