Recovery status of a cypress (Taxodium distichum)-water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica) wetland seven years after harvest disturbance
Research documenting the functional changes of wetlands in response to harvest disturbance has often been limited to initial-response time frames of one or two years. A cypress (Taxodium distichum L. Rich.)-water tupelo ~ aQuatica L.) swamp located in the Mobile-T ensaw River Delta of Southwestern …

A theological exploration of the shape of life and death in dialogue with the biographical works of Gregory of Nyssa
In this thesis I investigate Gregory of Nyssa’s doctrine of the spiritual ascent of epektasis in order to uncover a theological vision of progress through the passage of a human life. I argue that how such progress is construed yields vivid ethical implications for how ageing and dying at the end …

Sedimentation in a Tupelo-Baldcypress Wetland 12 Years Following Harvest Distubance
… and loss were measured in a water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica)- baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) forested wetlandin years 2, 7, 10 and 12 following harvesting disturbance. A 3 X 3 Latin Square design was replicated three times and compared to a psuedo-replicate reference stand (REF). Disturbance …

Training in the Historic Building Trades of New Orleans: An Inventory and Analysis
The unique cultural techniques of the historic building trades of New Orleans are currently at risk of being lost due to a lack of new master craftsmen and the demise of the current generation of master craftsmen. The purpose of this study is twofold: to analyze the historic transmission of the …

A Simple Computational Model for Particle Resuspension Behind a Normal Moving Shock
The simulation of particle resuspension from a surface due to shock passage and subsequent piston flow presents a means to analyze the post-shock conditions of an environment, such as after a dirty' bomb is detonated. This computational model is based on the 'Rock'n Roll' models of particle …

Analysis of Fossil Pollen from a Pleistocene Cypress Forest Preserved on the Northern Gulf of Mexico Continental Shelf
… high percentages of <em>Taxodium </em>and <em>Nyssa </em>pollen in the lowermost sections reflecting an assemblage typical of contemporary baldcypress swamps. Pollen assemblages then shift in both cores, as Poaeceae becomes dominant in the upper sections. I interpret this as a transition from a …

Effect of Ingestion by Alligator Snapping Turtles (Macrochelys Temminckii) on Seeds of Riparian Vegetation
… persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), tupelos (Nyssa sp.), willow oak (Quercus phellos), and pecan (Carya illinoensis). Captive specimens of M. temminckii were fed samples of the above-mentioned seeds to assess how the species affects ingested seeds in order to evaluate the potential role this …

Hydrologic Controls on Ecosystem Structure and Function in the Great Dismal Swamp
… mosaic of cypress (Taxodium spp.)/tupelo (Nyssa spp.), Atlantic white-cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides), and pocosin (Pinus spp.). Moreover, peat soil has been exposed to more unsaturated conditions resulting in carbon loss through decomposition and increased peat fire frequency and severity. …

Long-Term (24-Year) Effects of Harvest Disturbances on Ecosystem Productivity and Carbon Sequestration in Tupelo-Cypress Swamps in the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta
… were originally applied in 1986 to a tupelo (Nyssa aquatic)-cypress (Taxodium distichum) forested wetland in the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta of southwestern Alabama. Treatments were: 1. Helicopter harvest (HELI), 2. Skidder simulation where 50% of the site was rutted to a depth of 30 cm (SKID), …

Divine simplicity and the triune identity: a critical dialogue with the theological metaphysics of Robert W. Jenson

Development and assessment of predictive spatial models for a rare Tennessee anuran: Barking treefrog (Hyla gratiosa)
In Tennessee, the Barking Treefrog (Hyla gratiosa) is listed as both rare and vulnerable, and more field data is needed to elucidate its distribution. Predictive modeling using the program MaxEnt provided results for models that guided field sampling to potential presence locations. From …

Reading between the lines: psycholinguistic indices of prediction and formulaicity in language comprehension
A comprehensive model of language processing must account for not only how people process literal language, but also how nonliteral language is processed. Further, of theoretical interest to psycholinguists is the role that prediction plays in language processing, namely the conditions under which …
