Each chapter in this expository paper considers a mathematical model of an aspect of animal behavior, and how it affects the patterns of movement across and within a landscape. These models are all directly or indirectly related to questions in either Behavioral Ecology or Landscape Ecology, or both. I first...
A facility developed using the OSU TRIGA pulsing capability and high speed motion photography has been used successfully for more than a decade to produce dynamic neutron radiographs of solid propellant combustion, two phase flow, and liquid streamflow. The existing imaging components have undergone little modification since the experiment's inception...
The topic of summability methods has been studied by many
although the name of G. H. Hardy and his classical work "Divergent
Series" is best known. Almost all of the early work was done using
single sequences or series. In the past 30 years research has been
done extending some...
This study was conducted to examine the coefficient of drag resistance (µ) between a log and bare forest soil during partial
suspension yarding. Drag resistance in this study was defined as the resistance due to friction between the soil and the log plus the resistance due to the plowing action...
This paper explores the language theories of Gary Snyder, an important modern environmental author whose early work was associated with the Beat movement of the early 1950's. I am particularly interested in Snyder's thoughts on how language relates to nature. I focus primarily on Snyder's prose in attempts to understand...
