Beached Bones: Exploring the Genetic Impact of Exploitation on the Diversity of Great Whales in the South Atlantic

Creator:: Sremba, Angela L.
Abstract:: Commercial whaling during the 20th century drastically reduced many populations of great whales in the Southern Hemisphere. The Antarctic blue whale, for example, is estimated to have been reduced to less than 0.1% of its original abundance based on catch records and population dynamic models. Despite this population bottleneck, several...

Predicting pore pressure response in in-situ liquefaction studies using controlled blasting

Creator:: Eller, James Michael
Abstract:: Originally used as a method to densify loose soils, controlled blasting has expanded its applicability to geotechnical engineering by becoming a research tool to physically generate liquefaction for full-scale in-situ tests, ranging from seismic performance of deep foundations to evaluating ground improvement techniques. Current methods used to design the blasting...

Analysis of finite population surveys : sample size and testing considerations

Creator:: McDonald, Trent, 1965-
Abstract:: This dissertation concerns two topics in the analysis of finite population surveys: setting sample size and hypothesis testing. The first concerns the a priori determination of the sample size needed to obtain species members. The second concerns testing distributional hypotheses when two equal-size populations are sampled. Setting sample size to...

Abstract:: Twentieth century commercial whaling drastically reduced the abundance of great whale populations in the Southern Ocean. Exploitation began on the south Atlantic island of South Georgia, where catch records account for over 175,000 whales killed. Modern whaling within the Southern Ocean depleted populations rapidly, and by 1966, hunting blue whales...

Abstract:: When the dc conductivities of various pure KC1 crystals were compared it was found that crystals grown under an HC1 atmosphere, from salt purified by ion exchange, exhibited lower knee temperatures than any of the crystals studied. These knee temperatures were found to be approximately 350°C. From this the total...
