A key constraint faced by consumers is achieving a positive energy balance in the face of temporal variation in foraging opportunities. Recent work has shown that spatial heterogeneity in resource phenology can buffer mobile consumers from this constraint by allowing them to track changes in resource availability across space. For...

Time can be a limiting constraint for consumers, particularly when resource phenology mediates foraging opportunity. Though a large body of research has explored how resource phenology influences trophic interactions, this work has focused on the topics of trophic mismatch or predator swamping, which typically occur over short periods, at small...
Air compressor systems are inefficient energy transfer devices even under the best of conditions, at full load. When only part load is required, efficiency drops further. This thesis attempts to improve part load efficiency of twin rotor screw air compressors in three ways.
First, a guidebook was written to help...
This investigation examined the possible role of musculoskeletal forces in the
human walk-run transition. In order to measure these forces a treadmill was constructed
which allowed the measurement of vertical ground reaction forces while subjects walked
and ran at prescribed speeds. Validation proved the device to be accurate and reliable...
Many different types of distributed batch scheduling systems have been developed in the last decade to take advantage of the decentralization of computers and the enormous investments that many companies and educational institutions have in desktop workstations. Based on the premise that the majority of desktop workstations are significantly underutilized,...
The processes that lead to stable, low-growing plant communities and the characteristics of the species that form them are of great interest to rights-of-way (ROW) managers and others wishing to better understand plant community resistance to tree invasion on managed landscapes. The use of stable, low-growing plant communities as a...
