  • Historical disturbance regimes as a reference for forest policy

    Creator:
    Thompson, Jonathan R.
    Abstract:
    Using the historical range of forest conditions as a reference for managing landscapes has been proposed as a "coarse-filter" approach to biodiversity conservation. By emulating historical disturbance processes, it is thought that forest management can produce forest composition and structure similar to the conditions that once supported the native biota....

    Creator:
    Elliott, William E.
    Abstract:
    The resurgence of creationism the past few years has been led by advocates of recent-creationism.

Recent-creationists support their position by appealing to the Genesis account...

    Abstract:
    Following World War II, the United States enjoyed unprecedented power and prestige. The wartime alliance with the Soviet Union quickly collapsed amid mutual suspicion and fear, however, resulting in the Cold War. Science was a significant political component in that ideological conflict. In the United States, inspired by Franklin D....

    Creator:
    Oliver, Audra Leah
    Abstract:
    The term "cowboy" was closely bound to American image long before the 1990s. Rodeo claimed the image of the cowboy from the earliest contests to the latest and pledged itself to patriotism almost as early. This historical study was conducted viewing rodeo as a subculture and relating women's role in...

  • Population Ecology of the Mariana Swiftlet (Aerodramus bartschi) on O'ahu, Hawaiian Islands

    Creator:
    Johnson, Nathan Christopher
    Abstract:
    The Mariana Swiftlet (Aerodramus bartschi) (Aves: Apodidae) is endemic to the Mariana Islands, where it currently occurs on Saipan, Aguiguan, and Guam. An introduced population of Mariana Swiftlets is also present on O'ahu in the Hawaiian Islands. Sparing interference with the endangered population in the Marianas, the introduced, surrogate population...

    Wilson, Robert B. (Robert Brian)
    Abstract:
    Modern commercial air travel is considered by most transportation specialists to be the safest of all forms of transportation. While safe, any loss of life is tragic and the only really acceptable state of commercial air transport safety is that of 'zero-tolerance' where no accident is acceptable. Research has demonstrated...

  • The demand for electricity in western U.S. irrigated agriculture : a dual cost function analysis

    Creator:
    Connor, Jeffery Dean
    Abstract:
    The overall objective of the research reported here is to empirically measure the ability of farmers to mitigate the impact of rising electricity prices by substituting relatively inexpensive alternative inputs. A dual cost methodology is employed because it allows theoretically consistent derivation of own price and factor substitution elasticities, conditional...

  • An interactive object-oriented system for discrete simulation modeling and analysis

    Creator:
    McGregor, Donald R.
    Abstract:
    One of the commonly used simulation approaches is process orientation. This is based on the use of nodes (or blocks) that perform functions in series. In spite of the compactness and ease of learning that characterize process-based simulation, many languages are somewhat complex, primarily the result of the large number...
