Population Distribution and Mobility of Deer in Eastern South Dakota
Population distribution and mobility of deer were studied intensively along a 15-mile stretch of the Big Sioux River, and less intensively on an expanse of 1400 square miles in central eastern South Dakota. Objectives were to determine relative population numbers and distribution of deer, the …

Population Distribution and Demographics of Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) in Silver Creek, Madison County, Kentucky
… objective of this study was to determine the population distribution and demographics of smallmouth bass <em>Micropterus dolomieu</em> in Silver Creek, Madison Co, KY. The stream was electro-shocked at 19 locations during the Fall of 2011 and Spring of 2012. At each stream site width (m), …

Agonistic behavior of <i>Peromyscus leucopus</i> and <i>Microtus pennsylvanicus</i>: implications for population distribution and dynamics
<p>It is hypothesized that interspecific aggression between <em>Peromyscus leucopus</em> and <em>Microtus pennsylvanicus</em> influences levels of ACTH, and thus depresses the reproductive potential of one or both species. Exposure of maturing young to interspecific aggression might be especially …

A mid-Atlantic study of the movement patterns and population distribution of the American horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus)
… conducted to investigate movement patterns and population distributions of horseshoe crabs to increase understanding of mid-Atlantic horseshoe crab populations. In addition, areas of the shoreline of Tom's Cove, Assateague Island, Virginia were investigated as possible locations for annual …

Population Distribution and Abundance of the Blackfin Sucker (Thoburnia atripinnis) in the Upper Barren River System, Kentucky and Tennessee.
… in Kentucky and Tennessee. Due to its isolated distribution and relatively small geographic inhabitance, the blackfin sucker is considered a Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) in Kentucky by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. In addition, it is included in …

Evaluation of race population distribution, fungicide sensitivity, and fungicide control of Exserohilum turcicum, the causal agent of northern leaf blight of corn
… across the north central U.S. Previous race population distribution studies identified five physiological races present in the U.S., prior to 1995. For this study, 156 E. turcicum isolates were screened on corn differential lines containing Ht1, Ht2, Ht3, Htm1, and Htn1 resistance genes. …

Spectral analysis of neutral evolution
… network. It has been demonstrated that, in large populations under a high mutation rate, the population distribution over the neutral network and average mutational robustness are given by the principal eigenvector and eigen- value, respectively, of the network's adjacency matrix. However, little …

GIS-based urban land use characterization and population modeling with subpixel information measured from remote sensing data
… model in the urban land use characterization and population modeling, focusing on New Orleans area. Previous research on the V-I-S model used in urban land use classification emphasized on the accuracy improvement while ignoring the discussion of the stability of classifiers. I developed an …

Agent-based modeling of seasonal population movement and the spread of the 1918-1919 flu: the effect on a small community
… potential impact of seasonality in travel and population distribution on the spread of the flu epidemic. Results demonstrate that seasonality in travel and population distribution influence the spread of the flu epidemic. In the summer, when the people are congregated around the fort, the …

Probabilistic modeling of kidney dynamics for renal failure prediction
… is itself a random variable sampled from a population distribution. Baseline for each patient can be estimated by combining the population distribution and all creatinine observations of the patient using techniques similar to Bayesian inference. Prediction of acute kidney injury with this …

Ecotoxicology of marine biotoxins in bivalve shellfish
… cytometric analysis of the differential cell population distribution was assessed. No change in cell population distribution was observed in Mytilus edulis or Ruditapes philippinarum, however significant changes were observed in Crassostrea gigas granulocytes at the lower levels of toxin …

Evaluation of performance of non-parametric confidence intervals on skewed data
… confidence intervals for the mean of a population distribution. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we will examine the performance of both confidence intervals on data from different types of distributions. In particular, we are interested in examining how these confidence intervals perform …

Augmenting data for Urban Metabolism of cities Tool using Machine learning and Satellite Image Analysis of city
… remote sensing we can get data like built area,population distribution across the region,and night light intensities. We do this by coupling the insights from images which indicate a proxy for where resources are concentrated.We increase data available for the Urban metabolism tool database in …

Cartographic visualization of Saskatchewan’s population using dasymetric mapping.
Maps of population density are commonly displayed using the choropleth method. Although choropleth maps are popular in mapping population density, strictly speaking, they are often incorrect due to non-conforming boundaries of populated places and administrative areas. This thesis looks at the …

Price Dynamics on Networks
… an $n$-node graph, with particular emphasis on population distribution and movement. We propose a general model wherein at each time step population distributes to adjacent nodes with minimal price, and prices are modified to reflect local population demand. We prove some inequalities regarding …

Hydrogen gas generation by water vapor dissociation in an Al/Al2O3 microchannel plasma device
… transition show a distinctly non-equilibrium population distribution in the OH(A2Σ+) state. Al/Al2O3 microchannel plasma device was shown to be efficient in water dissociation as compared with other plasma reactors recently reported in the literature.

Unveiling the implicit message: A look at racial, Hispanic/Latino, and Mexican portrayals on "Sesame Street"
… and Mexican group; My findings revealed that the population on Sesame Street did not mirror the United States population distribution. Other results revealed the Hispanic/Latino group very rarely reflected their cultural customs, were mostly female and the majority was portrayed in lower class …

Rural income, welfare and migration : a study of three Ciskeian villages
… has its roots in the country's spatially skewed population distribution and the persistence of 'oscillating' or 'circular' migration. Thus, rural income (its level, sources and distribution) and rural welfare remain important policy considerations. This thesis, based on a microeconomic study of …

Maximum entropy quadratic model to characterize chemical non-equilibrium in re-entry flows
… Ames Research Center. Previous analysis of the population distribution revealed that the population of the low lying energy levels of nitrogen molecules strongly deviates from a Boltzmann distribution, and the non-equilibrium distribution exhibits significant curvature. By invoking the maximum …
