Guidelines For Finding Nests Of Passerine Birds In Tallgrass Prairie, Maiken Winter, Shawn E. Hawks, Jill A. Shaffer, Douglas H. Johnson
Guidelines For Finding Nests Of Passerine Birds In Tallgrass Prairie, Maiken Winter, Shawn E. Hawks, Jill A. Shaffer, Douglas H. Johnson
United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications
The productivity of birds is one of the most critical components of their natural history affected by habitat quality. Birds might occur at high densities in a given habitat patch but have low nesting success. Such "population sinks" would not be detected if observers relied solely on estimates of bird density. Therefore, it is essential to monitor nests and determine their outcomes. Although interest in grassland-nesting passerines has increased greatly during the last decade, we still know little about factors affecting their nesting success. To stimulate more research in this area, we summarize several methods for nest-searching and provide suggestions …
Dissertation Research: The Impact Of Law And Information Policy On The Dissemination And Commercialization Of Spatial Databases: A North American -European Community, Harlan J. Onsrud
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
SBR-9506485 This dissertation-improvement award supports a study into the ways that government scientific-and-technical-information policies affect the dissemination of databases containing spatial data, specifically, transfer and use of the data generated by national mapping agencies to the research community and the commercial information industry. The study will take the form of parallel case studies, with information collected via postal surveys, in-person interviews, and archival research. Spatial-data suppliers and users in Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States will be investigated, to allow for international comparisons. The results of the research will be of interest to …

The United States In El Salvador: 1979-1992 Success Through The Eyes Of The Diplomats, David Jeffrey Mouritsen
The United States In El Salvador: 1979-1992 Success Through The Eyes Of The Diplomats, David Jeffrey Mouritsen
Theses and Dissertations
The United States made El Salvador one of its top priorities in the 1980s as the communist threat from the Soviet Union made its way to El Salvador. The Marxist-Leninist guerrilla group, the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), was supported by the Soviet Union via Cuba and became the target of the hard line politicians that ruled in El Salvador.
In order to combat the guerrilla movement, the United States structured its policy around national security to justify intervention in El Salvador. The three main points of the policy were to prevent a left-wing takeover by the communist-backed FMLN, …

Randall Simon's Sausage Assault, Mascots, And The All-Star Game, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Randall Simon is a very lucky man. When he took his bat to the nearest sausage it was blind luck that it was not the Bratwurst that was within his strike zone along the railing of the Pirates dugout. Those of us who have called Wisconsin home at one point in our lives know that, although Italian sausage may be savored by many, it is only the Brat that has sacred iconic status in the home state of the late Senator Joseph McCarthy. There are many other places that claim to hold a Bratwurst Festival but the annual event in …

A Visual Framework Invites Human Into The Clustering Process, Keke Chen, Ling Liu
A Visual Framework Invites Human Into The Clustering Process, Keke Chen, Ling Liu
Kno.e.sis Publications
Clustering is a technique commonly used in scientific research. The task of clustering inevitably involves human participation - the clustering is not finished when the computer/algorithm finishes but the user has evaluated, understood and accepted the patterns. This defines a human involved "clustering-analysis/evaluation" iteration. Instead of neglecting this human involvement, we provide a visual framework (VISTA) with all power of algorithmic approaches (since their result can be visualized), and in addition we allow the user to steer/monitor/refine the clustering process with domain knowledge. The visual-rendering result also provides a precise pattern for fast post-processing.

Eliminating Fallow: What Is The Best Transition Crop Back To Winter Wheat?, Paul Burgener
Cornhusker Economics
Dryland crop production has been a key component in the economy of the Central Great Plains for over 100 years. Although the river valleys and some underground water sources have provided small areas of irrigation, dryland crop production is dominant. With additional demands on the limited water resource in this region, dryland crop production is expected to increase in importance in the future.

Child Maltreatment And Resilience, Annette M. Strum
Theses and Graduate Projects
This exploratory, cross-sectional quantitative study was undertaken to examine how County Child Protection Social Workers perceive the concept of child resilience and how social worker self appraisal of use of resilience in interventions was consistent with their rating of resilience of children in their professional career. A self report survey was distributed to County Child Protection Field Social Workers. Univariate analysis was done and descriptive statistics were used to summarize characteristics of the data. Due to low response rate and design of the survey, findings could not be generalized. Future research may use this information to further explore "best practices" …

Wage Inequality And Skill Asymmetries, Peter Skott, Paul Auerbach
Wage Inequality And Skill Asymmetries, Peter Skott, Paul Auerbach
Peter Skott
Using a simple model with two levels of skill, we assume that high skill workers who fail to get high skill jobs may accept low skill positions; low skill workers do not have the analogous option of filling high skill position. This asymmetry implies that an adverse, skill neutral shock to aggregate employment may cause an increase in wage inequality, both between and within skill categories, as well as an increase in unemployment, especially among low skill workers. Movements in productivity, unemployment and inequality may thus be linked to induced overeducation and credentialism.
