Nearshore And Surf-Zone Morphodynamics: A Global Environmental Model For Predicting Hazards And Changes. Appendix 6. Standing Waves On A Pronounced Bar Trough Beach, Nungjane C. Shi, L. D. Wright
Nearshore And Surf-Zone Morphodynamics: A Global Environmental Model For Predicting Hazards And Changes. Appendix 6. Standing Waves On A Pronounced Bar Trough Beach, Nungjane C. Shi, L. D. Wright
Reports
The hypothesis that a pronounced bar-trough surf zone topography favors resonance of standing waves with antinodes located over the bar is examined. Numerical and field investigations of standing waves in a bar-trough surf zone suggest a selective trapping of wave energy at specific resonant frequencies in the subharmonic and the high frequency infragravity bands and a possible suppression of lower frequencies. The resonant frequencies predicted by the numerical model remain fairly constant throughtout the tidal cycle due to the small tidal range typically associated with a bar-trough beach. Cross-shore bar migration changes the resonant frequencies. Numerical simulations show that an …

Total Refraction At Oblique Incidence By A Transparent Bilayer Coating On A High-Index Transparent Or Absorbing Substrate, R. M.A. Azzam, Karim Javily
Total Refraction At Oblique Incidence By A Transparent Bilayer Coating On A High-Index Transparent Or Absorbing Substrate, R. M.A. Azzam, Karim Javily
Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications
Transparent bilayer coatings that produce total refraction (TR) of obliquely incident monochromatic light into an underlying substrate are considered. When the substrate is transparent, it is shown that TR takes place without any accompanying change of polarization. Totally refracting bilayers are realizable in the IR where high-refractive-index substrates are available. This is illustrated by a BaF2–ZnSe bilayer on a Ge substrate at a 10.6-μm (CO2-laser) wavelength and 45° angle of incidence. Limited changes of the angle of incidence, wavelength, and refractive indices and thicknesses of the two films of the bilayer are introduced, and their effects …

Bowen Fluoresence And He Ii Lines In Active Galaxies And Gaseous Nebulae, Hagai Netzer, Moshe Elitzur, Gary J. Ferland
Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications
We have calculated the intensity of He II and the O III and N III Bowen lines under a variety of astrophysical conditions. Our line-transfer method is based on the escape probability formalism and is especially suitable for combining line fluorescence and photoionization calculations in a simple, straightforward way. It reproduces the results of the more sophisticated line-transfer calculations quite accurately and is much better for producing realistic ionization and thermal structures. An extensive grid of models is presented and discussed, with special emphasis on the case of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Many O III and N III Bowen lines …

Aggressive Behavior Of Mississippi Kites In Suburban Areas, Berkeley R. Peterson, Charles S. Brown
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
The Mississippi Kite is a small diurnal bird of prey which nests throughout the southern Great Plains. Its aggressive behavior during nesting has created problems for residents in suburban areas. The removal of the nest and relocation of the eggs and young will end the attacks by the parent birds. The eggs are incubated and the resulting young, as well as other young removed from problem nests, are then placed in foster nests in more remote areas.

The dingo (Canis familiaris dingo), classified as being a native species by most people, is the primary native animal causing problems, although others, such as kangaroos and several native bird species, are pests in some areas. The Australians spend considerable amounts of money on wildlife damage control research. The people of Western Australia take a regulatory approach …
Preliminary Studies On The Feasibility Of Urban Rabies Control, Richard C. Rosatte
Preliminary Studies On The Feasibility Of Urban Rabies Control, Richard C. Rosatte
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
A preliminary investigation was initiated in 1984 to determine the feasibility of an urban rabies control strategy which involved capturing, vaccinating and releasing skunks and raccoons in metropolitan Toronto, Ontario. Results indicate urban skunks and raccoons are utilizing extremely small home ranges and their movements are not extensive. Trapping data suggested a large proportion of the population of skunks and raccoons in the study area were captured during the first 4 nights of trapping. Capture data also indicated the presence of new animals in the study areas between trapping periods. The 3 study areas, which differed in human land-use classification, …

Deer Damage Prevention Efforts In Pennsylvania, Jack M. Payee, William L. Palmer
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Research at the Pennsylvania State University was directed towards finding effective repellents to control damage caused by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and to develop a low-cost alternative to the traditional 2.4 m woven wire barrier fence, considered to be deer-proof, but too expensive for mgt agricultural uses. Fourteen repellents were screened and 9 were found to be more effective than the others. These 9 repellents were further investigated under semi-field conditions and only 1 repellent was found to be consistent in reducing deer feeding. A vertical electric deer fence was effective in excluding deer at field sites containing alfalfa, small …

Reported Beaver Damage And Control Methods Used In Texas, Jan E. Loven
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Beaver have greatly increased their range in Texas due to restocking and construction of man-made water impoundments. Damages can generally be categorized into dike and impoundment damage, tree damage, and flooding or other damages. These total $9,326,541 for the fiscal years 1983, 1984, and 1985. Methods used to remove beaver include: conibear traps, leg-hold traps, snares, spotlighting, and technical consultation. Live traps are seldom used. Total number of beaver taken for fiscal years 1983, 1984 and 1985 is 5,158.
Incidence And Significance Of Giardia Lamblia (Lambl ) In Texas Beaver Populations, Robert Beach, William F. Mcculloch
Incidence And Significance Of Giardia Lamblia (Lambl ) In Texas Beaver Populations, Robert Beach, William F. Mcculloch
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
The Giardia lamblia (Lambl) protozoan is not a recently discovered parasite. It was. in fact, one of the first organisms viewed and described by Antony van Leeuwenhoek (1681) as he designed the first usable microscope. Leeuwenhoek found this organism in a sample of his own diarrhetic stool and thus he constitutes the first confirmed case of human giardiasis. His finding represents proof of glardiasis’ close association with man for many years. Leeuwenhoek’s discovery of the giardial trophozoite was not elaborated on for some 178 years, however, as it was not until 1859 that Wilhelm D. Lambl systematically described the organism …

The Use Of Fixed Wing Aircraft In Predator Control, Larry D. Vetterman
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Aerial hunting was first used in a professional predator control program in 1942. The most popular aircraft used by animal damage control agencies is the Piper PA-18. Proper training of flight crews is of utmost importance for a successful aerial operation. Fixed wing hunting is restricted to relatively open areas and flat terrain. Aerial hunting is an excellent control method where livestock losses are severe and immediate control is needed.

Efficacy And Farmer Acceptance Of Nonlethal Control Of Blackbird Depredations To Small Grain Crops, Albert E. Bivings
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
In 1980, Congress responded to complaints of migratory bird damage to grain crops, principally rice, with added funding for enhanced Animal Damage Control (ADC) programs in Arkansas and Louisiana. This resulted in the establishment of an office in Stuttgart, Arkansas and a similar office in Crowley, Louisiana. Enabling legislation specifically directs the principal focus to be on rice/blackbird conflicts. This paper will present a review of the problems addressed in Arkansas, techniques utilized and the author's assessment of their efficacy and acceptability.

Opening Address: The Importance Of Wildlife Damage Control In Texas, Zerle L. Carpenter
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Let me first indicate that I have been interested in wildlife damage control programs for a good part of my life. My first experience, at the tender age of 6 years, was hard to accept when coyotes killed my 4-H pig. The importance of wildlife damage control has been clear to me since that time. Unfortunately, the importance of control is not often clear to those people who have not directly experienced wildlife damage.
