Ungulate Herbivores As Drivers Of Aspen Recruitment And Understory Composition Throughout Arid Montane Landscapes, Elizabeth S. Reikowski, Tyler Refsland, J. Hall Cushman

Aspen Bibliography

Herbivory by wild and domestic ungulates can influence tree recruitment and understory forest communities throughout the world. Herbivore-driven declines in tree recruitment have been observed for quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), a foundation species whose health and management is recognized as a critical priority throughout much of its range. Livestock fencing is commonly used to promote aspen regeneration, but its effectiveness is rarely assessed, especially across large spatial scales. Using a livestock-reduction experiment, we evaluated the effects of ungulate herbivory on aspen in the Great Basin and southern Cascades, an expansive and environmentally heterogeneous region where aspen faces the …

Intrinsic Disorder In Proteins Associated With Neurodegenerative Diseases, Akshatha Ganne

Theses and Dissertations

A protein’s structure is determined by its amino acid sequence and post-translational modifications, and provides the basis for its physiological functions. Roughly a third of the proteome in mammalian species comprises proteins that contain highly unstructured or intrinsically disordered regions. Proteins with extensive unstructured regions are referred to as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). Recent advances in experimental and computational analyses predicted multiple interacting partners for the disordered regions of proteins, implying critical roles in signal transduction and regulation of biological processes. This dissertation has studied the connection between the misfolding of a protein and an insoluble protein using the ability …

Path Planning Of Food Robot Based On Density Peak Clustering Parallel Sparrow Search Algorithm, Hao Jie, Tang Ye-Jian

Food and Machinery

Objective:In order to improve the efficiency of multi-point moving path planning of food picking robot, a path planning method of food picking robot based on density peak clustering parallel sparrow search algorithm is proposed.Methods:The path planning model of food picking robot was established with the total moving distance, path smoothness between points and moving safety as the evaluation indexes. While ensuring the moving safety of the robot, the path smoothness was improved and the moving distance was reduced as much as possible. The density peak clustering sparrow search algorithm (DSSA) was designed, as the improved density peak …

Hotel Stilwell Records, 1945-1975, Special Collections, Leonard H. Axe Library

Finding Aids

This collection consists of guest records, registration cards, financial records and miscellaneous financial documents related to the Stilwell Hotel in Pittsburg, KS.

The city of Pittsburg formed a board of trade in 1889 that concluded that Pittsburg needed a modern hotel. Initial seed money of $100,000 was acquired in July of that year. Arthur E. Stilwell of Missouri, Kansas and Texas Trust company provided further funding, so it was decided to name the hotel after him. In July of 1889, W. C. Lindsey was hired to design the hotel and C. W. Green to build it. The hotel was dedicated …

Sd Prism: Visualizing The Standard Deviation As The Size Of A Prism Using R/Rstudio, Hieu Nguyen, Tom Nguyen, Mamunur Rashid, Jyotirmoy Sarkar

Student Research

SD Prism is a graphical R package used for visualizing the standard deviation of a data set. Given a raw data set, the standard deviation (SD) is defined as the square-root of twice the mean square of all pairwise half deviations between any two sample observations. This interpretation leads to a geometric visualization of the sample SD, and a more elementary explanation as to why the denominator in the sample variance is one less than the sample size. In this article we will explain step by step how to understand it mathematically and how the package implements the methodology to …

Concentrated Incarceration And The Public-Housing-To-Prison Pipeline In New York City Neighborhoods, Jay Holder, Ivan Calaff, Brett Maricque, Van C Tran

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Using public housing developments as a strategic site, our research documents a distinct pathway linking disadvantaged context to incarceration-the public-housing-to-prison pipeline. Focusing on New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) housing developments as a case study, we find that incarceration rates in NYCHA tracts are 4.6 times higher than those in non-NYCHA tracts. More strikingly, 94% of NYCHA tracts report rates above the median value for non-NYCHA tracts. Moreover, 17% of New York State's incarcerated population originated from just 372 NYCHA tracts. Compared with non-NYCHA tracts, NYCHA tracts had higher shares of Black residents and were significantly more disadvantaged. This NYCHA …

Sinaya: A Philippine Journal for Senior High School Teachers and Students

Food shortage is still a problem in the Philippines since millions of people may be classified as undernourished. Efforts to augment the insufficiency include developing an efficient planting method as a source of food. This experimental study tested the effectiveness of coconut water as a rooting hormone on hydroponically and conventionally grown basil plants by measuring the height, fresh weight, leaf length, and root length for three weeks, which also served as the dependent variables. Consequently, two (2) hydroponic set-ups and two (2) conventional set-ups utilize a randomized block design. The set-ups containing coconut water served as the independent variables, …

Geographic Proximity To Primary Care Providers As A Risk-Assessment Criterion For Quality Performance Measures, Nathaniel Bell, Ana Lopez-De Fede Ph.D., Bo Cai Ph.D., John Brooks Ph.D.

Publications

Importance Previous studies have found a mixed association between Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) designation and improvements in primary care quality indicators, including avoidable pediatric emergency department (ED) encounters. Whether these associations persist after accounting for the geographic locations of providers relative to where patients reside is unknown. Objective To examine the association between geographic proximity to primary care providers versus hospitals and risk of avoidable and potentially avoidable ED visits among children with pre-existing diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or asthma. Methods Retrospective cohort study of a panel of pediatric Medicaid claims data from the South Carolina from 2016–2018 for 2,959 …

Symptom Phenotypes In Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: The Pah “Symptome”, Lee Ann Matura, Jamison D. Fargo, Kathleen Boyle, Jason S. Fritz, Kerri A. Smith, Jeremy A. Mazurek, Diane Pinder, Christine L. Archer-Chicko, Harold I. Palevsky, Allan I. Pack, Marilyn S. Sommers, Steven M. Kawut

Abington Jefferson Health Papers

Women with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) experience multiple symptoms, including dyspnea, fatigue, and sleep disturbance, that impair their health‐related quality of life (HRQOL). However, we know little about phenotypic subgroups of patients with PAH with similar, concurrent, multiple symptoms. The objectives of this study were to define the “symptome” by symptom cluster phenotypes and compare characteristics such as biomarkers, cardiac structure and function (echocardiography), functional capacity (6‐min walk distance), and HRQOL between the groups. This cross‐sectional study included 60 women with PAH. Subjects completed an assessment battery: Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Symptom Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile, Patient‐Reported …
