Growth, Diet, and Reproduction of the Red-Eared Slider (Trachemys Scripta) Inhabiting a Reservoir Receiving a Cold Effluent
Red eared sliders, Trachemys scripta, were collected from two habitats at Lake Taneycomo from April 1992 to July 1993. One site was a hypothermic cove near Rockaway Beach, Missouri, and the second site was a normothermic cove in a tributary of Lake Taneycomo known as Bull Creek. The diets of adult …

Nest Emergence and Chemosensory Mediated Predator Avoidance: Two Studies of Behavior in the Red-Eared Slider (Trachemys Scripta Elegans)
… on the emergence behavior of red-eared sliders was tested. With a constant surface temperature above that of the next, hatchlings either did not emerge or emerged erratically as individuals or in small groups. However, when the surface temperature was allowed to drop below that of the …

Characterizing the epidemiology of ranavirus in North American chelonians: diagnosis, surveillance, pathogenesis, and treatment
… separate environmental temperatures, red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) inoculated through intramuscular injection with a FV3-like virus had higher mortality rates when maintained at 22oC than at 28oC, supporting the theory that this virus is less virulent at higher temperatures. …

Seed Dispersal by Aquatic Turtles
… crisus) seeds were observed in the feces of sliders and snappers from a farm pond in Christian County, Mo. Feeding trials were conducted to determine if seeds were being damaged as they passed through the digestive tracts of snappers (n = 10) and sliders (n = 10). The largest amount of …

The Effects of Commercial Harvest on the Density and Demography of Aquatic Turtles in Arkansas
… turtles of nine species including red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta; N = 2695), spiny softshell turtles (Apalone spinifera; N = 640), common musk turtles (Sternotherus odoratus; N = 508), eastern mud turtles (Kinosternon subrubrum; N = 81), common snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina; N = …

Experiential lighting : development and validation of perception-based lighting controls
… of hindsight. Simple control schemes using sliders, knobs, dials, and motion sensors currently in use fail to anticipate human understanding of the controls and the possible effects that changes in illumination will have upon us. In this work, the problem of how humans interact with this new …

Scaling laws for stress and energy for interface with strong rate-weakening friction
… weakening friction law is assumed between sliders and rigid surface. Both the statistical properties of slip, pulling force and average rupture stress are studied with varying the constitutive parameters characterizing the model: the stiffness ratio and strength of the velocity-weakening. …

Applied design and implementation of straight-line mechanisms
… generally more satisfactory option than simple sliders. The objective of this thesis is to provide a tool to the designer that serves as an aid in making intelligent decisions in the selection of four-bar linkage type straight-line-mechanisms. This thesis provides research into the selection, …

Developing best practice guidelines in designing physical learning environments for students with complex needs
… and equipment, and operable-walls or ranch sliders. Safety involves secure facilities and outdoor spaces, robust building material and furniture, careful placement of glass, line-of-sight for passive supervision, and areas for teaching and learning with low sensory and “crash and bash” …

The application of the soft impression technique to evaluate flow stress, creep and frictional deformation of polycrystalline diamond and cubic boron nitride
… were studied when softer metallic and ceramic sliders were used. As a result of increasing the number of traversals, significant wear of the CVDite diamond coating by softer metallic sliders (aluminium and mild steel) was observed. This could be attributed to the high level of residual stresses …

Dynamic physical affordances for shape-changing and deformable user interfaces
… Physical Affordances can provide buttons and sliders on demand as an application changes, or even allow users to directly manipulate 3D models or data sets through physical handles which appear out of the data. Improvised Physical Affordances can allow users to squeeze, stretch, and deform …

Predicting Graduation from Prior Academic Achievement, Attendance, and Behavior: A Quantitative Analysis
The purpose of this study was to analyze high school graduation rates from prior academic achievement, attendance, and behavior in one school system over 4 years. The study addressed three questions, which of the students included in this study dropped out of high school, how exclusionary …
