Swan Modules and Elliptic Functions
… if and only if, a certain elliptic analogue of a Swan module is a principal ideal of the associated order. In this thesis we find an explicit generator for the square of this elliptic Swan module in quite a general case. This generator is a product of elliptic resolvent elements.

Swan: a data structure visualization system
Swan is a data structure visualization system. Using Swan, a C or C++ program can be annotated to provide multiple views of the data structures used in the program so that they can be better understood by the viewer. Swan allows visualization to be a two-way communication process between the viewer …

Swan-plant interactions in a chalk river catchment.
… grass species, by flocks of non-breeding mute swans (Cygnus olor Gmelin, 1789). This research was carried out over two years in the River Frome catchment (Dorset, UK). Based on a meta-analysis of previous waterfowl grazing studies I show that waterfowl biomass density (kg ha-1) rather than …

Data preparation and visualization for the SWAN refraction model
… users to prepare numerical data required for the SWAN refraction model and to visualize the results in an interactivie three-dimensional graphical context. SWAN (acronym for Simulating Waves Near shore) is a numerical wave model that is used to predict wave parameters according to a given set of …

Confronting the Black Swan: A Case Study of Corporate Learning
Objectives of the Study The objective of this mixed methods case study is two-fold. First, it explores corporate learning using the theory of organizational knowledge creation and one US based corporation to determine the theory's relevance to American firms. Second, it seeks to understand how …

Modeling sandbar effects on nearshore waves and morphological change using SWAN
Numerical model simulations (Delft3D SWAN) are used to examine the impact of small alongshore variations in the bathymetry of an outer sandbar (in about 5-m water depth) on the nearshore wave field as the shallow (< 3 m) bathymetry changes from near alongshore uniform to strongly spatially variable …

The Blackfoot Valley Trumpeter Swan Reintroduction: A Chronology and Case Study
… to reintroduce a viable population of trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator) to wetlands in the Blackfoot River Valley of western Montana. I had the great opportunity to be involved with this project while completing a Masters in Environmental Studies at the University of Montana. During the time I …

Landsat Evaluation Of Trumpeter Swan Historical Nesting Sites In Yellowstone National Park
<p>The trumpeter swan (Cygnus buccinator) has historically nested in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. Declines in habitat quality may be limiting the growth of the Tri-State Flock. The purpose of this study was to map historical nesting areas for trumpeter swans in …

Origin of Green Shales in the Devonian Swan Hills Formation, Alberta, Canada
Throughout its growth history, the Devonian Swan Hills Reef Complex at Swan Hills has been subjected to variably long episodes of subaerial exposure, storm events, strong wind, oceanic currents, base level fluctuations and/or a long post-depositional burial history. For nearly sixty years, several …

Food resource availability for Carnaby's cockatoo Calyptorhynchus latirostris on the Swan Coast Plain
To achieve a balance between sustainable development and conservation of threatened species, management depends on understanding the predicted response and interaction of that species with their environment in order to develop appropriate mitigating solutions. The Carnaby’s cockatoo Calyptorhynchus …

Impact of black swan grazing and anthropogenic contaminants on New Zealand seagrass meadows
… during the last century. Grazing by the black swan (Cygnus atratus) and anthropogenic contaminants resulting from catchment development are postulated to contribute to seagrass meadow loss in New Zealand and these factors have been assessed in this study. The aim of this study was to quantify …

3-D Modeling of Nearshore Circulation Using ROMS-SWAN: Model Upgrades and Evaluation
… coupling with a wave propagation model (e.g., SWAN, REF/DIF). The coupled model has been applied to surf zone applications like oblique incidence of waves on a planar beach, rip current formation in alongshore bar trough morphology (e.g., Haas and Warner, 2009). In this thesis, I present an …
