  • Modeling the Influence of Wildfire Management Networks in Social-Ecological Systems

    Creator:
    Avila, Colton C.
    Abstract:
    Wildfire management networks allow for collaborative intervention in mitigating the ever-present risk of major wildfire events. This thesis consists of two manuscripts that explore the topology and characteristics of wildfire management networks and their ability to influence wildfire severity in social-ecological systems. The first manuscript focuses on the characteristics of...

  • Modeling sage-grouse habitat using a state-and-transition model

    Creator:
    Evers, Louisa
    Abstract:
    Habitat for wildlife species that depend on sagebrush ecosystems is of great management concern. Evaluating how management activities and climate change may affect the abundance of moderate and high-quality habitat necessitates the development of models that examine vegetation dynamics, but modeling tools for rangeland systems are limited. I developed state-and-transition...

  • Transforming shrimp and crab waste into dairy heifer feed

    Creator:
    Evers, Dale J.
    Abstract:
    The goal of these experiments was to ensile combinations of shrimp or crab waste with perennial ryegrass straw and analyze it for silage quality and ruminal degradability. The rapid deterioration of seafood wastes required initial preservation prior to ensiling to minimize odor production and protein breakdown. Eight experiments were conducted...

  • M1_Trans_Ch3.c

    Creator:
    Dail, David (David Andrew)
    Abstract:
    Obtaining accurate estimates of animal abundance is made difficult by the fact that most animal species are detected imperfectly. Early attempts at building likelihood models that account for unknown detection probability impose a simplifying assumption unrealistic for many populations, however: no births, deaths, migration or emigration can occur in the...

    Creator:
    Tassin, Ian
    Abstract:
    This paper synthesizes various works Wang tiles up to this point, including: the reduction from the Halting Problem to Wang Tiling Problem and notions around various aspects of periodicity, including minimal period, aperiodicity, and axis-aligned periodicity. Additionally it includes new work, including: a proof that a tiling can be periodic...

  • Queering Ever After: Temporality, Magic, and Endings in Victorian Fairy Tales

    Creator:
    Damschen, Kalli M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis analyzes two Victorian fairy tales that feature queer endings, or endings that offer alternatives to the heteronormative fairy-tale tradition that idealizes heterosexual marriage and the biological family. In both George MacDonald’s The Wise Woman (1875) and E. Nesbit’s “The Island of the Nine Whirlpools” (1901), I argue that...
