Independent effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on pollination : tropical forest fragmentation alters hummingbird movements and pollination dynamics

Creator:: Hadley, Adam S.
Abstract:: A growing body of work reveals that animal-mediated pollination is negatively affected by anthropogenic disturbance. Landscape-scale disturbance results in two often inter-related processes: (1) habitat loss, and (2) disruptions of habitat configuration (i.e. fragmentation). Understanding the relative effects of such processes is critical in designing effective management strategies to limit...

How sweet is the land? Modeling caloric landscapes for tropical hummingbirds

Creator:: Birkett, Christina Nozomi and Birkett, Nozomi Fukui
Abstract:: Pollination is a critical ecosystem function for sustaining biodiversity. However, pollinators and the services they provide are threatened by landscape-altering anthropogenic activities across the globe. Habitat loss and fragmentation, introduction of invasive species, chemical use, and urbanization have been shown to impact pollination. Pollinator foraging behavior is thought to be...

SpaceLab, an N-Body Particle-Particle Ballistic Collision Simulation Tool with Applications in Celestial Body Dynamics

Creator:: Guidos, Job
Abstract:: This thesis conveys the key technical features and scientific applications of a particle-particle ballistic simulation tool (SpaceLab) as well as a high level overview of experiments it was designed for and executed on. SpaceLab simulates spherical particle interactions under any combination of self-gravity, sliding friction, rolling friction, Van-Der-Waals (VDW) cohesion...

Can Pollination Networks Withstand Species Loss? An Examination of Plant–Hummingbird Interactions and Their Responses to Experimental Removal of a Flowering Plant Species

Creator:: Leimberger, Kara G.
Abstract:: Global environmental change is causing local extinctions of species. When species depend on one another, as in the mutualistic relationship between plants and pollinators, loss of one interaction partner may cause cascading effects within the community – such as additional extinctions and reduced pollination services. Network theory provides a way...

Fighting tradition : Hemingway’s Nick Adams and shell shock

Creator:: McGrath, Cole P.
Abstract:: In his Nick Adams stories, Ernest Hemingway traces the life of a single man as he moves from boyhood to adolescence to adulthood to fatherhood. From the beginning of Nick Adams life, it is clear that he does not fit into the role of the traditional hero. In addition, Nick...

The impact of powered mobility use on expressive communication development of young children with disabilities

Creator:: Morrison, Zoe
Abstract:: While the use of powered mobility devices for young children with mobility challenges has taken off in recent years following evidence that the use of powered mobility at a young age augments other traditional mobility skill interventions, the research is still limited and focuses on physical impacts more. Recently, the...

Searching for Pulsars for Use in Gravitational Wave Detection

Creator:: Connolly, Genevieve J.
Abstract:: Gravitational waves (GWs) are disturbances in spacetime that can be caused by events such as black hole mergers and supernovae, as well as continuous sources such as binary star systems. GWs offer a new avenue of astrophysical research and can reveal information about the early universe. GW detection can be...

Off-Axis Gamma Ray Burst Contribution to the Diffuse Gamma Ray Background in the 100-600 keV Range

Creator:: Hodges, Isaac
Abstract:: Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are short, intense pulses of gamma rays that emit radiation in a narrow beam. Unless the beam is oriented towards the observer, it is often difficult to resolve the bursts against the diffuse gamma ray background (DGRB). The DGRB is a measured source of gamma rays...

Blood Processing Technologies for Cryopreserved Transfusion Products and Extracorporeal Treatment Applications

Creator:: Lahmann, John M.
Abstract:: There is a significant need for technological advancement in blood processing. New technologies in rapid processing of frozen blood products could significantly improve management of the blood supply chain in the United States by enabling on-demand use of frozen blood products that can be stored for 10 years instead of...
