Sea turtles are endangered species that can be censused with aerial surveys, but the number of turtles in an area must be extrapolated to include animals that are submerged. Twenty-one satellite tags were attached to juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in North Carolina. I analyzed surfacing and dive behavior...

The songs of the Bewick's Wren are discrete units of one to three
seconds duration with intersong intervals several times the length of
the song. Individual song repertoires at the William Finley National
Wildlife Refuge, Oregon, range from 13 to 20 song types, and a given
song type is repeated...
Epidemiological studies have suggested that the consumption
of fish may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Compared to the number of studies using fish oils, few
studies have used fish itself. Those which have used fish
have generally used fattier fish such as mackerel and salmon
as part of an...
This thesis is an engineering report on the creep behavior of
power transmission line conductors. Laboratory creep test results
are reported for Pheasant, Narcissus and Chukar conductors.
The report follows a standard nomenclature and format suggested
by the International Study Committee No. 6 of Conference
Internationale des Grands Reseaux Electriques...
Subduction zone earthquake and tsunami hazards affect tens of millions worldwide and the recurrence of these disasters can be evaluated with paleoseismic techniques, because earthquake cycles (and their supercycles) typically span many millennia. In these three chapters, I discuss a suite of analyses I use to evaluate the sedimentary record...

teacher, who gave me a B on my research paper
because I included humor in the report. She summarily read
Three trials with wethers and four trials with steers were
conducted to determine some of the effects of sodium bicarbonate,
calcium hydroxide and/or transfer of ruminal contents on ruminant
adjustment to abrupt changes to concentrate rations.
Lambs fed a basal concentrate diet plus sodium bicarbonate had
the highest average feed...
Micro scale systems are being utilized in a wide variety of chemical, biological and heat exchanger applications, but suffer from the development of vapor bubbles inside the microchannels due to convective boiling, leading to decreases in system performance. In this work, a simulation-based control strategy is employed to eliminate flow...
