Honey bee habitat at the University of Illinois campus
… possible sites to form a network of pollinator habitats on campus. The ecological approach considers human systems and natural systems to be integral and mutually impacting. The project consists of three parts. The first part is research on existing No-Mow Zones and prairie zones on campus to …

Multi-level decision-based system architecting
… and options for system, element, and component designs while maintaining the validity of the decision support data provided by the models. Single and multi-level decision based system architecting is applied to multiple future human spaceflight projects. The architecture of the Lunar Surface …

Inhabiting the interstitial: design experiments in aviary architecture and habitat creation
… potential of urban interstitial spaces in bird habitat creation. An interstitial space is the space in-between, underneath, beyond, enveloped, and outside our traditional concepts of habitat and urban space. It is the space between spaces, the space that eludes maps, an aggregate of remnants …

A Network Communications Strategy for Planetary Habitats
The space industry is beginning to consider the design and construction of communication network infrastructures on planets beyond Earth. In approaching these design challenges, network managers should be involved in the architectural process to understand how such networks will be designed both …

Analyses of Two Aspects of Study Design for Bioassessment With Benthic Macroinvertebrates: Single Versus Multiple Habitat Sampling and Taxonomic Identification Level
… of evaluating the ecological condition of habitats by surveying the resident assemblages of living organisms. Conducting bioassessment with benthic macroinvertebrates is still evolving and continues to be refined. There are strongly divided opinions about study design, sampling methods, …

An Analysis of Hybrid Life Support Systems for Sustainable Habitats
The design of sustainable habitats on Earth, on other planetary surfaces, and in space, has motivated strategic planning with respect to life support (LS) system technology development and habitat design. Such planning requires LS system analyses including both high fidelity modeling and high level …

Designing for those without voices : transitions from nature to built form -- from animal to human
… all aspects of the zoo, most importantly its design. Visitors journey to the zoo in search of animals. They could find them behind bars, in the center of a deep moat or search for them in an extensive landscape that replicates the animal's wild habitat. The later is clearly the situation that …

Dynamics in Discrete Time: Successional Communities, Spatial Models, and Allee Effects
… the environment around them, impacts such as habitat disturbances and fragmentation, range shifts, and invasions are increasingly common. In the face of these events, knowledge of population dynamics and how these dynamics may respond to changing environmental factors is of particular …
