Efficacy Of Dna Sampling To Monitor Population Abundance Of Black Bears In The Southern Appalachians, Katie E. Settlage
Efficacy Of Dna Sampling To Monitor Population Abundance Of Black Bears In The Southern Appalachians, Katie E. Settlage
Masters Theses
The American black bear (Ursus americanus) in the southern Appalachians has been the subject of intensive research. In particular, the focus has been on population monitoring using livecapture, bait stations, harvest records, and radio-active feces tagging. Genetic (DNA) sampling for mark-recapture is an emerging technique for estimating population abundance, but the efficacy of various sampling regimes for estimating populations of different densities has not been established. I conducted a pilot study to determine whether genetic sampling for population estimation is feasible to monitor black bear abundance in the southern Appalachians and to develop appropriate sampling regimes to obtain …
Evaluation Of Aquatic Macroinvertebrates Available To Wintering Waterfowl In Managed And Natural Wetlands In Western Tennessee, Michael Shelton Whittington
Evaluation Of Aquatic Macroinvertebrates Available To Wintering Waterfowl In Managed And Natural Wetlands In Western Tennessee, Michael Shelton Whittington
Masters Theses
Aquatic and wetland invertebrates are important protein sources for wintering waterfowl in the Lower Mississippi River Alluvial Valley (LMAV). Few studies have evaluated winter invertebrate abundance patterns in the LMAV, particularly in Western Tennessee. I examined aquatic macroinvertebrate biomass, density, and diversity in beaver ponds, moist soil units and flooded, harvested soybean fields in Western Tennessee. Moist soil units and flooded soybean fields are common wetland practices on public lands in Western Tennessee. Beaver ponds offer natural habitat that is greatly increasing in the southeastern United States (Arner and Hepp1989). The objective of this study was to compare invertebrate abundance …

Death, Decay, And Moribund, Virginia Zorn
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
"Death, Decay, and Moribund" is my interpretation of the physical processes death imposes on the human body. The inspiration for this series comes from a long-time interest in forensic pathology and science. [...]
Information Sources, Willingness To Volunteer, And Attitudes Towards Invasive Plants In The Southwestern United States, Leith Seeley Tidwell
Information Sources, Willingness To Volunteer, And Attitudes Towards Invasive Plants In The Southwestern United States, Leith Seeley Tidwell
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This thesis examines results of a survey conducted in the Southwestern United States focusing on attitudes towards invasive plants, public preferences for information sources and willingness to volunteer in invasive plant management. This research demonstrates that the public is interested in the problem and control of invasive plants. In a broad context there is agreement among respondents that invasive plants pose a threat to the environment and control efforts, including the use of herbicides, should be allowed to occur. Given the differences between general and specific attitudes towards invasive plants, it is suggested education and awareness programs be designed to …
Effectiveness Of Native Grassland Restoration In Restoring Grassland Bird Communities In Tennessee, Scott Allen Dykes
Effectiveness Of Native Grassland Restoration In Restoring Grassland Bird Communities In Tennessee, Scott Allen Dykes
Masters Theses
Grassland bird populations have declined more than any other group of birds over the last 37 years, based on Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) data (Hunter et al. 2001, Sauer et al. 2003). In Tennessee, significant effort is underway to restore native grasslands through partnerships between Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and private landowners. This partnership has put thousands of hectares of native grasslands back on the Tennessee landscape. It is unknown, however, whether there has been a positive response by grassland birds to this restored habitat. Furthermore, the restoration has …
Learning And Application Of Range Management Innovations Among Ranchers In West-Central Colorado, Caroline A. Kennedy
Learning And Application Of Range Management Innovations Among Ranchers In West-Central Colorado, Caroline A. Kennedy
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Like many ranchers in the West, ranchers in West-Central Colorado are reevaluating their management strategies in the face of forces like drought, rising land prices, and encroaching development. While ranchers seek answers on alternative management strategies, research and Extension personnel search for adequate means of diffusing needed information. Relative to many rural western communities, ranchers in West-Central Colorado show high interest in alternative range management ideas, and many implement changes to their ranch management based on these ideas. This can partially be attributed to a unique support system of Extension and agency personnel with effective, untraditional outreach and land-management approaches. …

The Use Of Capillary Electrophoresis (Ce) In Drug Analysis, Agnes D. Garcia
The Use Of Capillary Electrophoresis (Ce) In Drug Analysis, Agnes D. Garcia
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Capillary electrophoresis is currently a very powerful technique for the analysis of seized drugs. A rapid analytical CE method for the screening and quantification of GHB and GBL was achieved using 300mM CTAC/25mM phosphate buffer pH 6.3. Reversed phase HPLC was achieved using 25mM phosphate buffer pH 6.5 and a Cl8 Aqua column. Chiral separation of 9 amphetamine type stimulants was obtained using a highly sulfated gamma-cyclodextrin as a chiral selector. MECC and CZE were compared for the analysis of psilocybin, while a rapid and robust method is presented for the analysis of major opium alkaloids, using dynamically coated capillary …
Using Media Messaging To Promote Healthful Eating And Physical Activity Among Urban Youth, B.J Carter, Amanda Birnbaum, Lisa Hark, Brian Vickery, Charles Potter, Michael P. Osborne
Using Media Messaging To Promote Healthful Eating And Physical Activity Among Urban Youth, B.J Carter, Amanda Birnbaum, Lisa Hark, Brian Vickery, Charles Potter, Michael P. Osborne
Department of Public Health Scholarship and Creative Works
National trends show consistent increases, as well as racial and ethnic dis- parities, in the prevalence of overweight children and adolescents. Such disparity is evident regarding behaviors such as a poor diet and a lack of physical activity and in the prevalence and outcomes of associated health problems. It has been suggested that grounding interventions in cultural traditions and norms are critical for preventing obesity among ethnic and racial minority youth; however, with some notable exceptions, few community interventions have used this approach. Moreover, urban minority youth may face additional barriers to healthful eating and physical activity behaviors, such as …
