Aquaculture is currently responsible for an insignificant proportion of total fish production in Uganda. However, given increasing demand for fresh fish in urban and peri-urban areas, and threats to the supply of fish from natural catch fisheries there seems to be a potentially strong market for fish and fish products...
This analysis concerns the life and scientific work of Henry
Augustus Rowland (1848-1901), organizer and the first chairman of
the physics department at The Johns Hopkins University in 1876.
Special materials used in this research included three pieces of
Rowland's experimental apparatus which are extant in the Smithsonian
Institution Division...
In this thesis, a digital computer method for locating transmission
line towers is presented. The computer program selects the
position of both angle and tangent type towers for a given ground profile.
This selection will provide a minimum cost per foot of
transmission line in terms of the average costs...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of trained hearing peer
tutors on the physical activity levels of deaf students in integrated elementary
physical education classes. This study utilized a single subject multiple
baseline design across subjects.
Eight deaf 4th and 5th grade students and eight hearing...
Cogeneration is the simultaneous generation and use of
both electricity (or mechanical power) and thermal energy
from a single fuel source. It is a technology that has been
used for years by industries, commercial institutions, and
municipalities that need both heat and electrical power. An
analytical approach has been developed...
During the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence (CES) in Christchurch, NZ, an estimated $15B in damages occurred due to liquefaction-induced phenomena, illustrating the importance of understanding site-specific responses to seismic ground motions, as well the importance of accurately predicting liquefaction severity. One potential method for improving the understanding of how a site...
The purpose of this study was to test two hypotheses. The first
hypothesis interprets allochthonous rocks in the Willow Creek area of the
Pinyon Range as lying on flat, superficial thrusts that truncate the
underlying folded Mississippian rocks of the Antler flysch sequence.
The second hypothesis interprets the allochthonous rocks...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
John Henry Whitaker for the degree of Master of Science
in Geology
Parcellization of the rural landscape threatens the provision of social, ecological and economic benefits to society due to loss of economies of scale. A continued provision requires new approaches to forest management for multiple, interconnected goals. I used interviews, archival records and field measurements to learn how select, experienced owners...
