  • Effects of Woolsey Fire on Nesting Territories of Southern California Red-Tailed Hawks

    Creator:
    Gao, Jane
    Abstract:
    The relationship between fire and wildlife habitat is complex. Fires can create favorable conditions for some species and simultaneously extirpate entire populations of other species. Red-tailed hawks choose nesting habitats according to resources available. Natural disturbances such as wildfires change the availability of those resources. In late 2018, the Woolsey...

  • The impacts of local community use of Mount Elgon Forest in Uganda

    Creator:
    Alupo, Judith
    Abstract:
    Understanding the impacts with uncontrolled exploitation of forest resources is crucial for the proper management of Mt. Elgon forest reserve. The types and frequency of tree cutting; their spatial variation with distance from the Mt. Elgon National Park boundary; their distribution among girth classes and species were determined from 15...

  • Protected-area effectiveness near dynamic colonization zones : Forest clearance in and around Amboró National Park, Bolivia

    Creator:
    Bucklin, David N.
    Abstract:
    Protected natural areas are important reserves for biodiversity, and in the tropics, often play a role in deterring deforestation. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a protected-area with a two-tiered management regime in Bolivia, Amboró National Park and Integrated Management Natural Area (IMNA), in deterring clearance of forest. Four satellite...

  • Wind Energy in Solano County

    Creator:
    Kelly, Anna C.
    Abstract:
    While the U.S. energy portfolio increasingly includes renewables, social acceptance of such technologies can pose an important challenge for developers. Using survey data from a random sample of nearby households (n=524), content analysis of coverage in local newspapers, and interviews with various stakeholders (n=14), I explore local social acceptance of...

  • #ifdef Confirmed Harmful - Promoting Understandable Software Variation

    Creator:
    Le, Duc
    Abstract:
    Maintaining variation in software is a difficult problem that poses serious challenges for the understanding and editing of software artifacts. Although the C preprocessor (CPP) is often the default tool used to introduce variability to software, because of its simplicity and flexibility, it is infamous for its obtrusive syntax and...

    Rustigian, Heather L.
    Abstract:
    present a unique modeling approach to investigate the potential impacts of future land use alternatives on amphibian population dynamics in two agricultural watersheds in central Iowa. An individual-based spatially explicit population was used to predict the consequences of alternative landscape design and management for populations of four amphibian species. The...

  • High frequency hysteresis characterization of magnetic nanoparticles

    Creator:
    Whitaker, Colby
    Abstract:
    Hyperthermia is a cancer therapy that relies on the local heating of a cancerous tumor to kill cancer cells and disrupt the future growth of the tumor. While hyperthermia is capable of killing tumors separately, physicians often combine it with other treatment methods, typically radiation therapy, for its synergistic effects...

    Creator:
    Allouzi, Yousef
    Abstract:
    As climate change forces energy policy to incorporate environmental impacts and fuel diversification into the traditional model of energy security, finding ways to site, develop, and deliver renewable energy has taken on increasing importance across the United States. With no consistent federal framework to implement these changes, much of the...
