Doubting Thomas: A Study of Thomas Hobbes's Post-Restoration Dialogues
… explores the possibility that Thomas Hobbes's post-Restoration writings have a teaching that is somewhat different than the teaching contained in his scientific treatises. Specifically, Hobbes seems to express doubt in his dialogues that his science as outlined in Leviathan and elsewhere is a …

A Post-Restoration Assessment of the Fishes and Macroinvertebrates of Mill Branch, Knox County, Kentucky, with Emphasis on the Blackside Dace (Chrosomus cumberlandensis)
<p>The first stream habitat restoration project for the federally threatened blackside dace, Chrosomus cumberlandensis (Starnes and Starnes), was initiated in fall 2005 on Mill Branch, a small headwater stream located in the Upper Cumberland River basin, Knox County, Kentucky. The lower 700 meters …

Dissent and the Church of Scotland, 1660-1690
… conflict. The first three chapters deal with the post-Restoration church settlement and public reactions to that settlement, and these chapters are revisionist in approach. It is usually claimed that the decision to disestablish `presbytery' and revive `prelacy' in 1661 was unpopular, but the …

Assessing Wetland Restoration on the Delmarva Peninsula using Vegetation Characteristics
With wetland restoration, post-restoration monitoring is essential for determining developmental trajectories, particularly when comparing to natural reference systems. As part of the Mid-Atlantic Conservation Effects Assessment Project, 15 depressional wetlands on the Delmarva Peninsula of …

Benthic Macroinvertebrate Community Responses to a Headwater Valley Restoration at Slabcamp Creek, Rowan Co., Kentucky
<p>The practice of stream restoration is well underway in the U.S., but there are few quantitative post-restoration studies of macroinvertebrate communities in restored streams in Kentucky. Slabcamp Creek, a first order tributary within the Licking River Basin, was recently restored to improve …

Hydromorphological evolution of a restored river; a case study in the Upper River Eden catchment
River restoration has undergone a shift in approach from structural interventions controlling unwanted erosion to river naturalisation and the “re-meandering” of channels back to an historic planform. This is driven by acknowledgement of rivers as dynamic systems that, through restoring erosional …

Habitat use of Gulf Sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi) in Pascagoula River holding areas and in estuarine and marine environments including Ship Island, Mississippi and Mobile Bay, Alabama
… islands within the Mississippi Sound pre- and post-restoration of island pass and littoral nearshore habitats that found occupancy patterns to be consistent but movement patterns to vary pre- and post-restoration. Finally, in-river summer resting habitats (i.e., holding areas) were used by GS …

Defoe, Dissent, and Typology

The effects of bog restoration in formerly afforested peatlands on water quality and aquatic carbon fluxes
The restoration of drained, afforested blanket bogs (forest-to-bog restoration) is an increasing management practice, due to recognition of both the nature conservation and carbon sequestration services provided by peatlands. Forest-to-bog restoration involves conifer felling (and harvesting) along …

Assessment Of The Macroinvertebrate Assemblages From The Mesohabitats Of A Headwater Stream-Wetland Hydrologic Restoration In Eastern Kentucky
… are no exception. In recent decades stream restoration has become a common practice in order to improve habitat degradation resulting from land use practices such as channelization. Despite the large amount of effort and funding stream restoration projects represent, only a small portion …

Effects of shoreline development and freshwater discharge on nekton assemblage and trophic structure in a northern Gulf of Mexico estuary
… ecological consequences of marsh loss. However, post-restoration climate changes may shift habitat templates and negate positive effects of ecosystem restoration. I evaluated the ecology nekton along LS, natural marshes, hardened shorelines and greyed shorelines within Biloxi Bay, Mississippi, …

"The Perfect Scheme of it in his Head...:" Shaftesbury's Carolina Design in the Context of England's Atlantic Economy
<p>At the dawn of England's Restoration, mercantilist minded men were filled with fresh ambitions to enrich the nation and themselves by way of new colonizing ventures. Settlement schemes were proposed for lands in far flung places ranging from Tangier, Bombay, and the Gambia to Saint Lucia, Saint …

Evaluating the Long-Term Morphological Response of a Headwater Stream to Three Restoration Techniques
The stream restoration industry has been growing since the addition and modification of Section 404 to the Clean Water Act. Many projects follow the guidelines of Natural Channel Design and use in-stream structures to stabilize stream channels. Post-project monitoring rarely exceeds 3-5 years, and …
