1994
Movement and settlement patterns of animal offspring, along with the costs of occupying familiar and unfamiliar habitats, have been inferred frequently, but rarely have they been documented directly. To obtain such information, we monitored the individual fates of 205 (94%) of the 219 offspring...

Multi-Objective Optimization for Reinforcement Detailing Design and Work Planning on a Reinforced Concrete Slab Case
DownloadFall 2018
Reinforced steel rebar is fabricated in the form of one-dimensional stocks, designed according to structural engineering code, and installed in various structural components. Cutting one-dimensional stocks to fit to project-specific requirements results in cutting losses, which is the major...

Energy and utilities costs often represent one of the largest operating costs at manufacturing plants and they are areas where companies can reduce cost if optimal operating strategy is applied for efficient steam distribution and electricity generation. In addition to the financial incentive,...

Peacock, Stephanie J., Krkošek, Martin, Bateman, Andrew W., Lewis, Mark A.
There is an increasing realization of the diverse mechanisms by which parasites and pathogens influence the dynamics of host populations and communities. In multi‐host systems, parasites may mediate food web dynamics with unexpected outcomes for host populations. Models have been used to explore...

Patterns in the species composition and richness of fish assemblages in northern Wisconsin lakes
Download1982
Fish assemblage structure, and factors and mechanisms appearing important in the ecological maintenance of these structures, were examined for 18 small lakes in northern Wisconsin during summer and winter. The study was focused around the following questions. Are there discrete, repeatable groups...

The current rate and extent of human-induced changes to the environment are unprecedented. There is an urgent need to understand and predict the dynamics of coupled human and natural systems so that we can maintain the ecosystem services on which we depend. Temperate coastal regions have...

Paszkowski, C. A., Tonn, W. M., Holopainen, I. J.
Detecting mechanisms that structure ecological communities often requires investigations at appropriate spatial and temporal scales. A 15-mo, whole-lake experiment revealed direct and indirect mechanisms by which a fish predator structured its prey population, primarily by affecting recruitment...

Hurd, T.E., Kloppers, E.L., St. Clair, C.C.
Wildlife habituation near urban centers can disrupt natural ecological processes, destroy habitat, and threaten public safety. Consequently, management of habituated animals is typically invasive and often includes translocation of these animals to remote areas and sometimes even their...

ProAnalyser: a multimedia modeling and authoring framework for discerning student learning processes
DownloadSpring 2010
Online multimedia education systems traditionally tend to consist almost exclusively of multiple choice or numeric response style questions. However, many curricula such as math, physics, and chemistry typically involve students completing large, complex, multi-step problems where the process...
