This research explores the prospects of legislation in Michigan to authorize statewide use of Overdose Fatality Review Teams (OFRTs) to address the escalating opioid crisis. OFRTs consist of multidisciplinary teams that collaborate for overdose prevention. These teams operate on a local to statewide level and are comprised of individuals from...
Test incorporations are program transformations that improve the performance of generate-and-test procedures by moving information out of the "test" and into the "generator." The test information is said to be "incorporated" into the generator so that items produced by the generator are guaranteed to satisfy the incorporated test. This article...
In recent papers on machine learning, the term 'operationalization' has been used to describe the purpose of the learning process. In particular, explanation-based learning systems are said to 'operationalize' the given target concept. Unfortunately, the exact meaning of this term has varied from one paper to another, and frequently the...
These datasets were used in the prospective meta-analysis of northern spotted owl reproductive rates over 25 years across 11 study areas located throughout the range of the owl. A multi-state occupancy file was created by collapsing site-specific information on owl reproductive status into bimonthly (2 per month) survey occasions. These...
Salmonid fish raised in hatcheries often have lower fitness (number of returning adult offspring) than wild fish when both spawn in the wild. Body size at release from hatcheries is positively correlated with survival at sea. So one explanation for reduced fitness is that hatcheries inadvertently select for trait values...

Research on grief has been studied for nearly a century to understand its many facets, expressiveness, and timing. In the field of counseling, many changes in theories, models, and the lenses through which loss is responded to have been accomplished. However, one constant in the U.S. culture is that definitions...
Baleen whales store energy gained on foraging grounds to support reproduction and other metabolic needs while fasting for long periods during migration. Whale body condition can be used to monitor foraging success, and thus better understand and anticipate individual‐ and population‐level trends in reproduction and survival. We assessed the body...
