Creating an asset management model for Massachusetts state-aided public housing : a study of policies and practices to inform the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development
… practice. The differences cited include unique resident populations (one is high-need, low-income and the other is independent and financially stable) and the objectives of each sector (one is considered a public service and the other is profit-driven). This thesis investigates the models and …

Predictor Variables Related To Falls In A Long-Term Care Environment
… that differed significantly between groups of residents who had sustained subsequent falls and those who had not. Other variables including age, mental status, day number of stay, elimination, visual impairment, confinement, blood pressure drop, gait and balance, and medication were found to …

Effects of climate and land management changes on conservation of Mediterranean Cork oak woodlands and their bird communities
… are likely to have negative effects on their populations but climate change can also play an important role if it provides an additional stimulus for land management changes. The unique bird assemblages of North African cork oak woodlands seem particularly vulnerable to both factors and should …

Evaluation of the relationships between watershed-scale land use and contaminants in aquatic environments and the use of freshwater snails as indicators of impairment
… of AFOs on contaminant concentrations and resident populations of a pleurocerid snail, Leptoxis carinata, in streams within the Shenandoah River watershed (Virginia, USA). Individual characteristics of L. carinata were also evaluated to provide further understanding of observed population …

Selected aspects of population dynamics and food habits of bobwhite quail on the Salamonie Reservoir area, 1970-1975
… on the Salamonie Reservoir Area even though the resident populations of this non-migratory bird tend to remain relatively low. Bobwhites have been extensively studied in other parts of their range but little has been done in this marginal habitat region of northeastern Indiana. A basic knowledge …

Genetic differentiation of a sympatric lake-resident/anadromous species pair of threespine stickleback in Mud Lake, Alaska
… we present the first genetic analysis of a lake-resident/anadromous species pair of threespine stickleback. This analysis is preformed on a lake-resident/anadromous pair found in Mud Lake, a freshwater lake in the Jim Creek drainage of Alaska. Anadromous and resident freshwater stickleback in Mud …

Foraging ecology of two piscivores in woody habitat and effects of their introduction on lake ecosystems
… the introduction and augmentation of piscivore populations, as well as the alteration of littoral habitats, in Illinois lakes affects the consequences of predation for other ecologically and recreationally important species in these ecosystems. Some studies in lentic ecosystems have found large …

Advanced Largemouth Bass Production and Stock Contribution to Small South Dakota Impoundment Fisheries
… fishing events. Nearly one‐third of South Dakota resident anglers fish small water bodies, so maintaining small impoundment fisheries is of economic importance. Recruitment is often insufficient to maintain largemouth bass populations in South Dakota impoundments, so periodic stocking is used to …

Associated behavioral, genetic, and gene expression variation with alternative life history tactics in salmonid fishes
… as well as population structure, in polymorphic populations. First, we evaluated the variation in a suite of ecologically relevant behaviors across time in juvenile progeny produced from crosses within and between migratory and resident rainbow trout (<em>Oncorhynchus mykiss</em>). By testing …
