Preference And Motivation Testing, David Fraser, Lindsay R. Matthews
Preference And Motivation Testing, David Fraser, Lindsay R. Matthews
Validation of Animal Experimentation Collection
Since the early 1970s, scientists have used preference tests (tests that require animals to choose between two or more different options or environments) as a means of answering questions about animal welfare. Preference tests have been used to establish animals' preferences for common housing options such as ambient temperature, illumination and preferred types of bedding and flooring; to improve the effectiveness of devices such as loading ramps and nest boxes; and to clarify how strongly animals avoid various aspects of confinement and methods of restraint.
To use preference research to answer questions about animal welfare, three issues need to be …
Elimination Of Supply Harmonics, Stephen L. Clark, P. Famouri, W. L. Cooley
Elimination Of Supply Harmonics, Stephen L. Clark, P. Famouri, W. L. Cooley
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The price of the extensive use of power electronic devices is becoming clear: increasing harmonic "pollution." The greater amount of harmonics being introduced into power distribution systems is of concern to both power consumers and power companies. First, a brief look is taken at background information which describes harmonic sources, effects, and characteristics. Then the evolution of the harmonics elimination approaches of current compensation and active filtering are discussed to give some insight into the directions that research is taking.
On The Behavior Of The Solutions Of The Navier-Stokes Equations At Vanishing Viscosity, Roger Temam, Xiaoming Wang
On The Behavior Of The Solutions Of The Navier-Stokes Equations At Vanishing Viscosity, Roger Temam, Xiaoming Wang
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works
In this article we establish partial results concerning the convergence of the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations to that of the Euler equations. Namely, we prove convergence on any finite interval of time, in space dimension two, under a physically reasonable assumption. We consider the flow in a channel or the flow in a general bounded domain.

Disconjugacy And Transformations For Symplectic Systems, Martin Bohner, Ondřej Došlý
Disconjugacy And Transformations For Symplectic Systems, Martin Bohner, Ondřej Došlý
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works
We examine transformations and diconjugacy for general symplectic systems which include as special cases linear Hamiltonian difference systems and Sturm-Liouville difference equations of higher order. We give a Reid roundabout theorem for these systems and also for reciprocal symplectic systems. Particularly, we investigate a connection between eventual disconjugacy of linear Hamiltonian difference systems and their reciprocals. Finally, we present a dinsconjugacy-preserving transformation of a Sturm-Liouville equation of higher order which transforms this equation into another one of the same order.

Sea Turtle Conservation Program, Broward County, Fl 1997 Report, Curtis M. Burney, William E. Margolis
Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Reports
Since 1978, the Broward County Environmental Protection Department (BCEPD) has provided for the conservation of endangered and threatened sea turtle species within its area of responsibility. Broward County is within the normal nesting areas of three species of sea turtles: the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) and the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). The loggerhead is listed as a threatened species, while the green and leatherback are listed as endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, 1973, and Chapter 370, F.S.
Since these statutes strictly forbid any disturbance …

Benthic algal blooms (e.g., Codium isthmocladum) have become increasingly common on reefs and hardgrounds of Southeast Florida. The contribution from possible responsible nutrient sources, including natural upwelling and local pollution, has not been quantified. In an attempt to differentiate each potential source, lattice-bound barium concentrations in the skeletons of two common Southeast Florida stony coral species (Montastraea faveolata and Solenastrea bournoni) were measured by isotope dilution inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP/MS). Specimens were collected offshore between 26˚01'-57'N at shallow (10m) and deep (20m) reefs. X-rays of skeletal slabs revealed annual density bands which guided annual and subannual …

The effect of a short-term oral administration of potassium cyanide (KCN) (200 ppm in diet) with or without sodium nitrite (NaNO2) pretreatment on rat brain microsomal Ca2* ATPase was investigated. The specific activity value of the enzyme significantly decreased (p<0.05) by 50% compared with control and by 63% for KCN-treated rats compared with KCN-treated rats pretreated with NaNO;,. There was no significant difference at the h = 0.05 level between the values obtained for the control and KCN-treated rats pretreated with NaNO,. These results show both that feeding lowers brain microsomal Ca2f-ATPase activity and that NaNO, has a protective role (antidote function) in that respect.

Robert Katz Publications
The initial lesions formed in DNA by ionizing radiation include base damage, single strand breaks (SSB), double strand breaks (DSB), DNA cross links, and deletions. Deletions occur through energy deposition and perhaps more importantly through recombination repair of DSB's. Several mechanisms for the formation of DSB's and deletions related to energy deposition can be considered. Track simulation codes have indicated the importance of clusters of ionizations in small volumes similar to the size of a nucleosome. These clusters have been related to several types of damage to DNA, including DSB and deletions resulting from multiple DSB's formed by single electron …

Eastern South Dakota Wetlands, Rex R. Johnson, Kenneth F. Higgins, Michael L. Kjellsen, Charles R. Elliot
Natural Resource Management Faculty Books
Diverse and extensive wetland resources have always been familiar parts of the landscape to farmers, hunters, and residents of eastern South Dakota. The journals and oral histories of adventurers, trappers, and natives and immigrants reveal how wetlands shaped the wildlife and the people who lived on and modified the land to meet their own needs. The history of South Dakota wetlands parallels the history and interactions of people and wetlands elsewhere in North America and the world. This interaction can best be characterized as constant conflict. Driven primarily by economics, farmers the world over expended tremendous energy to "reclaim" and …

The mere mention of the word "wetland" in coffee shops and other gathering places on the prairies today brings out emotions and opinions that run the gamut from saving them all to draining them all. To some people, what we do with wetlands has been, and still is, a personal choice, a matter of exercising individual rights on private property. To others, wetlands are community resources that provide values that touch all of society. They contend that what is done to and about wetlands is a community decision regardless of ownership. Herein lies the controversy we have experienced over wetlands …

Combinatorics Of Open Covers (Iii): Games, CP(X), Marion Scheepers
Mathematics Faculty Publications and Presentations
Some of the covering properties of spaces as defined in Parts I and II are here characterized by games. These results, applied to function spaces Cp(X) of countable tightness, give new characterizations of countable fan tightness and countable strong fan tightness. In particular, each of these properties is characterized by a Ramseyan theorem.
A Feedback Control Structure For On-Line Learning Tasks, Manfred Huber, Roderic Grupen
A Feedback Control Structure For On-Line Learning Tasks, Manfred Huber, Roderic Grupen
Roderic Grupen
This paper addresses adaptive control architectures for systems that respond autonomously to changing tasks. Such systems often have many sensory and motor alternatives and behavior drawn from these produces varying quality solutions. The objective is then to ground behavior in control laws which, combined with resources, enumerate closed-loop behavioral alternatives. Use of such controllers leads to analyzable and predictable composite system, permitting the construction of abstract behavioral models. Here, discrete event system and reinforcement learning techniques are employed to constrain the behavioral alternatives and to synthesize behavior on-line. To illustrate this, a quadruped

Learning To Coordinate Controllers -- Reinforcement Learning On A Control Basis, Manfred Huber, Roderic Grupen
Roderic Grupen
Autonomous robot systems operating in an uncertain environment have to be reactive and adaptive in order to cope with changing environment conditions and task requirements. To achieve this, the hybrid control architecture presented in this paper uses reinforcement learning on top of a Discrete Event Dynamic System (DEDS) framework to learn to supervise a set of basis controllers in order to achieve a given task. The use of an abstract system model in the automatically derived supervisor reduces the complexity of the learning problem. In addition, safety constraints may be imposed a priori, such that the system learns on-line in …

The Brain As A Symbol-Processing Machine., Armando F. Rocha
Armando F Rocha
The knowledge accumulated about the biochemistry of the synapsis in the last decades completely changes the notion of brain processing founded exclusively over an electrical mechanism, toward that supported by a complex chemical message exchange occurring both locally, at the synaptic site, as well as at other localities, depending on the solubility of the involved chemical substances in the extracellular compartment. These biochemical transactions support a rich symbolic processing of the information both encoded by the genes and provided by actual data collected from the surrounding environment, by means of either special molecular or cellular receptor systems. In this processing, …
An Augmented Galerkin Method For Singular Integral Equations With Hilbert Kernel, S. Abbasbandy, E. Babolian
An Augmented Galerkin Method For Singular Integral Equations With Hilbert Kernel, S. Abbasbandy, E. Babolian
Saeid Abbasbandy
In recent papers, Delves [2] and others [1], [3] described a Chebyshev series method for the numerical solution of integral equations with non-singular kernels or some particular singular kernels, for example Green's function kernel, logarithmic and Cauchy kernels and so on. In this paper we describe a Fourier series expansion method for a class of singular integral equations with Hilbert kernel and constant coefficients. We give a number of numerical examples showing that Galerkin method works well in practice.
