Exerting Local Power Over Federal Process: Stakeholder Negotiation Process in the Canyon Forest Village Land Exchange Process 1992-2002

Title of Document: EXERTING LOCAL POWER OVER FEDERAL PROCESS: STAKEHOLDER NEGOTIATION PROCESS IN THE CANYON FOREST VILLAGE LAND EXCHANGE PROCESS 1992-2002 Barbara A. Kearney, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Dr., Martha Geores, Department of Geography This is a study of the National Forest Land Exchange process as it relates to the development of gateway communities. The study area is outside the Kaibab National Forest in Northern Arizona. This land exchange represented a collaborative partnership between the National Park Service, the Forest Service meant to consolidate private inholdings within the forest and to provide services for the Grand Canyon National Park outside park borders. The stakeholders involved in the land exchange discourse included the Forest Service, the developer, the National Park Service, the gateway communities of Tusayan, Williams, and Flagstaff, the Havasupai tribe, and environmental organizations. This study demonstrates that the public interest is dependent on scale. Using a mixed methodological approach, this study examined the impact stakeholders had on the land exchange process. A content analysis of articles and editorials written in local and regional newspapers, of public comments on the Environmental Impact Statement, and of semi-structured interviews of key participants in the land exchange debate helped to elucidate the most prominent concerns resonating with each category of stakeholder. A survey of the city of Williams, Arizona, was also conducted. Though it never came to fruition, the Canyon Forest Village land exchange demonstrated the economic issues facing gateway communities and their vulnerability to the actions and policies of public land agencies. By voicing their concerns and conducting a media campaign against the development plan, the gateway communities took control of both the land exchange process and their own economic development.

Pore Structure Test of Jurassic Red-Bed in Yanzhou Mining Area, Shandong Province, and Its Affecting Factors

Jurassic continental red beds in Yanzhou mining area, Shangdong Province, contains abundant underground water, in which pore is the main water-bearing space. Combining micro-appearance observation with hydrargyrum-pressure experiments, pore types of red beds, micro-structure features and affecting factors of pore structures have been systematically studied. Main pore types of the red beds, such as interparticle soluble enlarged pore, contracted interparticle pore, gelatinous materials soluble pore, interparticle pore, and inter-crystal pore have been described in detail. Based on the data from 93 rock samples, the porosity of red bed varies from 0.58% to 23.97%, and the average pore diameter varies from 2.3 um to 46.8um. Results show that different rock types have different micro-structures. The rock samples with same pore quantity may have absolutely different pore structures. The water-bearing ability of the rocks can be controlled by their pore structures.
EVALUACIÓN DE LA RETRACCIÓN EN SUELOS VOLCÁNICOS CULTIVADOS Y SU RELACIÓN CON ALGUNAS PROPIEDADES FÍSICAS

Evaluation of shrinkage in cultivated volcanic soils and its relation with some physical properties. The study of soil volumetric changes (swelling/shrinkage) with variations in water content is relevant to many physical and hydraulic soil properties of the vadose zone, since soil water retention, water and solute transport, preferential flow, etc., may be affected by such changes in volume. In many volcanic soils (Andisols and andic soils) the magnitude of soil shrinkage is important but with a high degree of irreversibility. This work presents the first results of a study on soil shrinkage changes in both remoulded and undisturbed soil samples from selected natural and cultivated soils of Tenerife (Canary Islands), with different andic properties and under different management practices. The results obtained with both methods show the high structural stability behaviour of these soils in the field. However, the increase of shrinkage in the disturbed (remoulded) samples reflects a higher risk of the shrinkage process in the cultivated soils under inadequate management practices promoting a structural deterioration, with the consequent hydrological implications (water and agrochemical losses via preferential paths, etc.). Through the combined study of soil shrinkage and chemical extraction, we observe that the shrinkage limit and the void ratio decrease over the whole moisture range with decreasing andic character. Unexpectedly, the Andisol presents the smallest shrinkage ratio, with values lower than the characteristic values of allophanic soils, which we attribute to the influence of a dry season promoting soil aggregation. 1.

Removal efficiency of dust and bacteria by multi-stage air scrubbers in pig houses

Emissions of aerial pollutants from animal houses may raise environmental problems and pose hazards to public health. Some of these emissions, such as NH3 and odor, can be reduced effectively by installing well-designed air scrubbers at the air outlets of animal houses. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the removal efficiency of three multi-stage scrubbers on dust (PM10 and PM2.5) and airborne bacteria. The multi-stage scrubbers used in this study were: 1) a double-stage scrubber (acid stage - biofilter, ABF); 2) a double-stage scrubber (acid stage – bio-scrubber, ABS); and 3) a triple-stage scrubber (water stage - acid stage - biofilter, WABF). Dust and bacteria concentrations, including ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2), were measured in the incoming and outgoing air of three scrubbers installed at three different pig houses. Measurements were done during a winter period (from Dec, 2006 to Feb, 2007). Results showed that multi-stage scrubbers reduced concentrations of PM10 by 62%-93%, concentrations of PM2.5 by 47%-90%, concentrations of airborne total bacteria by 46%-85%, and concentrations of NH3 by 70.3%-99.7%. CO2 concentrations were not affected. The WABF had the highest reduction of dust and NH3. From this study it can be concluded that the multi-stage air scrubbers achieve a satisfactory efficiency for removal of PM10, PM2.5, and NH3. Although airborne bacteria were reduced, as well, the reduction is insufficient to disinfect the air. It should be noticed that all measurements were performed in the wintertime at relatively low ventilation rates, thus, at low loading rates of the multi-stage air scrubbers.
Utilizing Geospatial Analysis of U.S. Census Data for Studying the Dynamics of Urbanization and Land Consumption

Geographically referenced US census data provide a large amount of information about the extent of urbanization and land consumption. Population count, the number of housing units and their vacancy rates, and demographic and economic parameters such as racial composition and household income, and their change over time, can be examined at different levels of geographic resolution to observe patterns of urban flight, suburbanization, reurbanization, and sprawl. This paper will review the literature on prior application of census data in a geospatial setting. It will identify strengths and weaknesses and address methodological challenges of census-based approaches to the study of urbanization. To this end, a detailed overview of the geographic structure of U.S. Census data and its evolution is provided. Ecological Fallacies and the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP) are discussed and the Population Weighted Density as a more robust alternative to crude population density is introduced. Of special interest will be literature comparing and/or integrating census data with alternative methodologies, e.g. based on Remote Sensing. The general purpose of this paper is to lay the groundwork for the optimal use of high resolution census data in studying urbanization in the United States.
Influence of constant rate versus slug injection experiment type on parameter identifiability in a 1‐D transient storage model for stream solute transport

One‐dimensional solute transport modeling to simulate experimental tracer releases in rivers is common practice. However, few studies have investigated the effect of experiment type (slug injection versus constant rate injection) on model parameter sensitivity and identifiability. We conducted slug injection and constant‐rate experiments in a low‐gradient, alluvial, headwater tundra stream in northern Alaska. Each experimental data set was simulated with the one‐dimensional transport with inflow and storage (OTIS) model and analyzed with Monte Carlo‐based techniques to investigate differences in global sensitivity and time‐varying identifiability of the model parameters. We found that the longitudinal dispersion parameter exhibited relatively high sensitivity for the slug injection data, while the storage zone area parameter exhibited relatively high sensitivity for the constant rate injection data. The storage zone area and storage zone – main channel exchange rate parameters show heightened sensitivity during rising and tailing portions of the constant rate injection breakthrough curve, whereas for the slug injection data, increased identifiability for these parameters is only observed during the tailing portion of the breakthrough curve. Results demonstrate that selection of slug injection or constant rate experiment type impacts parameter sensitivity and time‐varying identifiability and that experimental data can easily be analyzed to understand the relative information content associated with each parameter of a 1‐D transient storage model.
Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analyses Reveal the Importance of Lipid Metabolism and Photosynthesis Regulation in High Salinity Tolerance in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Leaves Derived from Mutagenesis Combined with Microspore Culture

Barley is the most salt-tolerant cereal crop. However, little attention has been paid to the salt-tolerant doubled haploids of barley derived from mutagenesis combined with isolated microspore culture. In the present study, barley doubled haploid (DH) line 20, which was produced by mutagenesis combined with isolated microspore culture, showed stably and heritably better salt tolerance than the wild type H30 in terms of fresh shoot weight, dry shoot weight, K+/Na+ ratio and photosynthetic characteristics. Transcriptome and metabolome analyses were performed to compare the changes in gene expression and metabolites between DH20 and H30. A total of 462 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 152 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were identified in DH20 compared to H30 under salt stress. Among the DAMs, fatty acids were the most accumulated in DH20 under salt stress. The integration of transcriptome and metabolome analyses revealed that nine key biomarkers, including two metabolites and seven genes, could distinguish DH20 and H30 when exposed to high salt. The pathways of linoleic acid metabolism, alpha-linolenic acid metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, photosynthesis, and alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism were significantly enriched in DH20 with DEGs and DAMs in response to salt stress. These results suggest that DH20 may enhance resilience by promoting lipid metabolism, maintaining energy metabolism and decreasing amino acids metabolism. The study provided novel insights for the rapid generation of homozygous mutant plants by mutagenesis combined with microspore culture technology and also identified candidate genes and metabolites that may enable the mutant plants to cope with salt stress.
Electroacupuncture Ameliorates Depression-Like Behaviors in Post-Stroke Rats via Activating AMPK-Mediated Mitochondrial Function

Background Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most common complications of stroke. Electroacupuncture (EA) is an effective traditional Chinese medicine treatment for PSD, which is widely used in clinical settings. EA has a significant therapeutic effect against PSD, but the mechanism is still unclear. This study aimed to determine whether EA ameliorates depression-like behaviors in PSD rats by regulating the adenosine 5’-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-mediated mitochondrial function. Methods Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) were used to develop a PSD rat model. To elucidate the role of AMPK in EA treatment, compound C, a selective inhibitor of AMPK, was injected into the lateral ventricle of rats before EA treatment. EA treatment was performed for 14 consecutive days for 30 min per day after PSD modeling. A modified Zea-Longa five-point scale scoring system was used to determine neurologic function in MCAO rats. Behavioral tests were conducted to evaluate depression-like phenotypes in rats. Depression-like behaviors were tested by sucrose preference test (SPT), novelty suppressed feeding test (NSFT), and open-field test (OFT). The structure and morphology of the prefrontal cortex were observed by histopathological hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Nissl staining. The mitochondrial morphology and function were analyzed by colorimetry, chemiluminescence, Western blotting, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results EA treatment successfully ameliorated depression-like behaviors, upregulated AMPK expression, and improved mitochondrial function. However, AMPK inhibition by Compound C exacerbated depression-like behaviors and aggravated neuronal and mitochondrial injury in PSD rats. Conclusion EA treatment improved depression-like behaviors in PSD rats and promoted mitochondrial function by activating AMPK.
WheelUp! Developing an Interactive Electric-power Wheelchair Virtual Training Environment

Standard power wheelchair training is considered inadequate by clinicians and users due to insufficient means to evaluate user performance in varying environments. Virtual environment training offers a promising alternative by providing users with more practical opportunities while reducing the time demands on clinicians. However, there is a need to further explore and optimize game design elements and strategies to ensure engaging and effective training experiences for a diverse range of users. This paper presents our progress of WheelUp! , an open-source electric wheelchair virtual reality (VR) simulator. The simulator offers modularity for clinician-controlled difficulty adjustment, immediate visual and audio feedback, and a visualization tool to aid in clinical assessment and monitoring of progress. This is the first step to building an interactive platform to address the inadequacy of wheelchair training.
Analysis of WRC-23 Agenda Item 7A Case Study: Starlink – OneWeb Satellite Constellation

WRC-23 Agenda Item 7 topic A is intended to define the orbit tolerances on the space station of non-GSO FSS (Fixed Satellite Service), BSS (Broadcasting Satellite Service), or MSS (Mobile Satellite Service) systems. This study examines the variation of orbital characteristics, for the Starlink satellite constellation and OneWeb satellite constellation during their operation in orbit, which encompasses 3,286 satellites from the Starlink constellation out of a total of 4,378, and it also examined 503 satellites from the OneWeb constellation out of a total of 636. The results of this study show a relatively small variation in orbital tolerance for three orbital elements (inclination, altitude of perigee, and altitude of apogee) of the satellites in the two constellations.
An Electron Microprobe Study of the Relationships between Heavy Metals and Manganese and Iron in Soils and Ocean Floor Nodules

Six soils, six manganese nodules derived from soils and two ocean floor nodules were analysed by electron microprobe techniques to determine inter-element relationships. Cobalt was related to manganese in all samples, and a considerable fraction of the total cobalt in the soils was associated with the manganese oxides. Nickel was related to manganese in all of the nodules and some of the soils. In the soils, although the concentrations of nickel were highest in the manganese oxides, a large proportion of the total nickel was actually associated with the iron oxides. Copper and particularly zinc accumulated in the iron oxides in the soils, but in the nodules these elements were associated with either manganese or iron, and in some cases with neither.
Upscaling Soil-Hydrologic Parameters in Sandy Desert Landscape – An Input for Distributed Hydrological Modelling

Soil-hydrologic parameters in the gridded (or raster) format are essential inputs in distributed hydrological models. This research is aimed at quantifying the spatial variability of saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) of soils in an irrigated sandy desert landscape, as an input for a distributed surface-water and groundwater interaction modelling study. The Ksat data of soils at point-scale were obtained from field, and then upscaled (or regionalized) for generating the gridded data layers. The relative suitability of two possible upscaling approaches – ‘interpolation’ (using geostatistical and deterministic methods) and ‘stratification’ (using remote-sensing) are explored. The study identifies a peculiar situation of spatial independence of the point-scale Ksat values, thereby limiting the use of geostatistical and deterministic interpolation methods for upscaling. This is because of substantial changes in land use pattern on account of introduction of canal irrigation in this undulating sandy desert landscape. However, undulating topography has limited the extension of irrigation and land use change mosaic only to inter dunal plains. Remotely sensed data derived land cover based stratification approach has been found as a good alternative for upscaling the point-scale Ksat data in such situation.

The Interplay between Emotion and Cognition in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Implications for Developmental Theory

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is clinically defined by abnormalities in reciprocal social and communicative behaviors and an inflexible adherence to routinised patterns of thought and behavior. Laboratory studies repeatedly demonstrate that autistic individuals experience difficulties in recognizing and understanding the emotional expressions of others and naturalistic observations show that they use such expressions infrequently and inappropriately to regulate social exchanges. Dominant theories attribute this facet of the ASD phenotype to abnormalities in a social brain network that mediates social-motivational and social-cognitive processes such as face processing, mental state understanding, and empathy. Such theories imply that only emotion related processes relevant to social cognition are compromised in ASD but accumulating evidence suggests that the disorder may be characterized by more widespread anomalies in the domain of emotions. In this review I summarize the relevant literature and argue that the social-emotional characteristics of ASD may be better understood in terms of a disruption in the domain-general interplay between emotion and cognition. More specifically I will suggest that ASD is the developmental consequence of early emerging anomalies in how emotional responses to the environment modulate a wide range of cognitive processes including those that are relevant to navigating the social world.
