Commerce and society in the urban Philippines : a comparative study
(2001)
Until recently, the negative effects associated with the spread of large retail institutions away from the central business districts of local communities was most commonly identified with towns and cities in the developed ...
Nutritional ecology of white-tailed deer : effects of gender on foraging behavior and digestive efficiency
(2001)
Differential resource use, habitat partitioning, and sexual segregation have been noted for many ungulate species. However, the mechanisms behind sexual segregation have not been resolved. This study was designed to examine ...
Biotic and abiotic factors influencing nonbreeding raptor assemblages in southern Texas
(2001)
I investigated factors influencing diversity ami abundance of wintering raptor assemblages in southern Texas. I approached this problem from several spatial and temporal scales, ranging from continental to patch, and 30 ...
Transformations in the organization of banking : the effects of government policy, 1977-1998
(2000)
This study examines the capacity o f four theories o f organizational change - resource dependence, transaction cost economics, organizational ecology, and institutional — to explain transformations in the organization o ...
Fault location and parameter estimation on overhead transmission lines using synchronized sampling
(2000)
The deregulation of the power industry' in the United States along with the increasing demand for power may require the wheeling of large amounts of power between areas that are geographically distant from one another. ...
Dispersion modeling of particulate emissions from low-level point sources
(2002)
The use of dispersion modeling as a regulatory tool is continually increasing. In many cases, a source's right to operate hinges on the results of dispersion modeling. To provide fair regulation, it is critical that the ...
Effect of rainfall variability on hydrologic simulation using WSR-88D (NEXRAD) data
(2001)
Rainfall, one of the most important hydrologic model inputs, varies spatially and temporally. Simulations using rainfall data with a reasonable representation of this variability can be expected to produce better results ...
Movements and spaciotemporal variation in relation to food productivity and distribution, and population dynamics of the Mexican black bear in the Serranias del Burro, Coahuila, Mexico
(2003)
Black bear habitat use based on available digestible energy was investigated in the Serranias del Burro, Coahuila, Mexico, during 1998-2001. Reproduction, survival and density of the bear population were also calculated ...
Nutritional ecology of northern pintails wintering in the Laguna Madre of Texas
(2001)
Molt intensity, digestive tract morphology, diet, and carcass composition of northern pintails were investigated along the southern Texas Coast during winters of 1997-98 and 1998-99. Precipitation was 133% and 83% of the ...
The path integral time-domain method for electromagnetic scattering
(2000)
A full wave analysis of the electromagnetic field in the time-domain derived from R. P. Feynman’s path integral is examined. The propagator, which evolves the fields through successive time steps, comes from a state variable ...
