Effects of reference displacement and damage accumulation in wood shear walls subjected to the CUREE protocol

Creator:

Langlois, Jeffrey D.

Abstract:

The objectives of this study are: (1) to evaluate the effect of reference displacement on wall behavior under fully reversed cyclic loading using the CUREE test protocol and (2) to assess damage accumulation (visible fastener damage and stiffness degradation) for the imposed drift levels. All tests were conducted on identical...

The role of food limitation and predation on reproductive success of burrowing owls in southern California

Creator:

Haley, Katherin L

Abstract:

The temporal and spatial variation in reproductive success exhibited by burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia hypugaea) facilitates the testing of mechanisms influencing this parameter. I predicted that food supplementation would increase reproductive success through one of two means: (1) directly, through increasing food availability and decreasing the effects of brood reduction,...
