description: This mixed methods case study investigated faculty perspectives and practice around plagiarism in a Western Canadian faculty of education. Data sources included interviews, focus groups, and a survey. Findings showed that participants (N = 36) were disinclined to follow established procedures. Instead, they tended to deal with plagiarism in informal ways without reporting cases to administration, which resulted in a disconnect between policy and practice. The emotional impact of reporting plagiarism included frustration with the time required to document a case, and fear that reporting could have a negative effect on one’s employment. Recommendations include approaches that bridge the gap between policy and practice. Key words: Academic integrity, plagiarism, Canada, higher education, faculty Cette étude de cas à méthodes mixtes s’est penchée sur les perspectives et les pratiques du corps professoral relatives au plagiat dans une faculté d’éducation dans l’ouest du Canada. Les sources de données ont inclus les entrevues, les groupes de discussion et un sondage. Les résultats indiquent que les participants (N=36) étaient peu portés à suivre les procédures établies. Ils avaient plutôt tendance à employer des moyens informels pour traiter le plagiat, sans signaler les cas à l’administration, ce qui entrainait un écart entre la politique et la pratique. L’impact émotionnel découlant du signalement du plagiat comprenait le temps nécessaire à documenter un cas et la peur que le signalement puisse avoir une incidence négative sur son emploi. Les recommandations proposées incluent des approches visant à combler l’écart entre la politique et la pratique. Mots clés : intégrité académique, plagiat, Canada, enseignement supérieur, faculté

Removing, replacing, and processing proinsulin in beta-cells

description: Diabetes affects over 425 million worldwide, costs billions, and causes morbidity and mortality for patients. Though insulin injections are lifesaving, insufficient β-cell mass and function leaves patients facing risks of chronic hyperglycemia and acute risks of hypoglycemia. Replacement of β-cells via transplantation of cadaveric islets is a functional cure but is limited by a paucity of donor tissue. If β-cell replacement or (re)generation therapies were abundantly available, they could be potential cures for diabetes. To this end, investigating β-cell development and function is worthwhile. In the current thesis, we first characterized the role of insulin on β-cell development and maturation by studying insulin knockout mice (Ins1-/-Ins2-/-). Though insulin was necessary for β-cell maturation, insulin replacement by islet transplantation but not insulin injection, supported maturation of endogenous β-cells. Second, we developed and characterized an adeno associated virus (AAV) carrying Cre recombinase regulated by an insulin promoter (AAV Ins1-Cre) for in vivo genetic manipulations. AAV Ins1-Cre produced efficient recombination in β-cells alongside off-target recombination, making it a useful tool when off-target effects are controlled for or deemed unimportant. Third, we assessed the viability of a gene therapy for the Ins1-/-Ins2-/- mouse model of monogenic diabetes. We delivered an insulin gene to β-cells (an Ins1 promoter driving human insulin (INS) or mouse insulin 1 (Ins1)) using AAV Ins1-INS or AAV Ins1-Ins1. Though the AAV delivered the insulin gene to β-cells, Ins1-/-Ins2-/- β-cells retained a processing defect leading to secretion of insulin’s precursor proinsulin. We created adult insulin knockout mice using AAV Ins1-Cre and failed to prevent onset of diabetes with AAV Ins1-Ins1. Finally, in Chapter 5 we assessed the production of mature insulin in human β-cells. Despite consensus on the role of prohormone convertase 2 (PC2) in proinsulin processing, we provide evidence that unlike mouse β-cells, human β-cells produce mature insulin without PC2. This thesis provides insight into the developmental impact of “removing insulin” from β-cells, assesses the viability of a gene therapy “replacing insulin” in β-cells, and revises a longstanding theory on the “processing of proinsulin” in human β-cells. These findings may guide development of gene- and cell- based therapies for diabetes.

description: This is a longitudinal self-study of a mentoring relationship that emerged and evolved between a graduate research assistant and a professor over seven academic years. We use social exchange theory to explore the evolution of this relationship. Specifically, our focus is a series of nine revealing moments that demonstrate evident learning, a relationship change, or shifts in the currencies of exchange over time. These revealing moments arose from intentional opportunities for scholarly development, personal and relational interactions, and unanticipated occurrences. This study exemplifies the dynamics of a mentoring relationship over an extended time period, thereby responding to the dearth of longitudinal studies of mentoring internationally. Key words: mentoring; social exchange theory; mentoring relationships; graduate education; research assistantships Ce projet de recherche est une étude longitudinale de soi portant sur une relation de mentorat qui a évolué entre un assistant de recherche de cycle supérieur et un professeur au cours de sept années académiques. Nous nous appuyons sur la théorie de l’échange sociale pour explorer cette relation. Plus précisément, nous nous penchons sur neuf moments révélateurs qui démontrent soit un apprentissage évident, un changement dans la relation ou l’évolution des échanges. Ces moments révélateurs ont découlé d’occasions délibérées visant le développement de la recherche; des interactions personnelles et relationnelles; et des événements inattendus. Cette étude illustre la dynamique d’une relation de mentorat au fil du temps, apportant ainsi une réponse au manque, à l’échelle internationale, d’études longitudinales portant sur le mentorat.

description: Gout is a progressive arthritis-related disease typified by acutely painful joints. The acute pain is caused by deposits of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals within joints secondary to chronic hyperuricemia. Gout can become a debilitating chronic condition with joint deformity, physiologic impairment, activity limitation, and societal participation restriction. The prevalence of gout among adults in the United States is increasing. According to the 2012 Annual Census Report at the Rosemead Clinic, gout is one of the top diagnoses and 68% of patients self-reported as being of Chinese ethnicity. Need assessment revealed it was critical to provide a gout education program for Chinese American patients. However, there are no gout teaching tools made available to patients in any Chinese language dialects found in the clinic or through a literature search. This project was developed as a gout education pamphlet in Chinese in order to target the educational needs of the Chinese patients at the Rosemead Clinic. This culturally tailored approach gout education pamphlet was developed with a multidisciplinary team and contains key information for self-help directed at the Chinese patients in the Rosemead Clinic and can be introduced as a resource to other clinics providing care to similar Chinese populations.

description: The implementation of hospital electronic health records software is considered a significant modernization in healthcare. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of electronic health records and the addition of clinical documentation specialists as a clinical support group on hospitalist documentation using case mix index (CMI) as a measurement tool. A two-group pre/postimplementation retrospective research design was used to evaluate the impact of electronic health records and clinical documentation specialists on CMI in a single 125-bed full-service community hospital in the greater Los Angeles area. All hospitalist medical records were reviewed in the pre/postphases. A total of 3,536 records were reviewed over the two phases. Phase one included a review of 1,712 hospitalist medical records before implementation of electronic health records. Phase two included a review of 1,824 hospitalist medical records after implementation of electronic health records and clinical documentation specialists. Change in CMI data were analyzed over the two phases. CMI data were treated as interval data and analyzed by parametric descriptive statistics in two phases by one-way ANOVA to compare the means between the two phases. The mean CMI value for phase one was 1.65 and 1.68 for phase two. One-way ANOVA yielded no difference between the mean CMI values for the two phases (p = .53). The implementation of electronic health records and clinical documentation specialists as a clinical support group did not make any significant difference in hospitalist documentation using CMI as a measurement tool.

description: Within the education sector various tools have been used to measure effectiveness of instruction. It is typical that measures of teaching effectiveness include, but are not limited to, the student’s perception of their experience in the classroom and with a given instructor. Student evaluations of teaching (SETs) are one form of measurement commonly used in American universities. It is important to determine whether these SETs are helpful in assessing effective teaching and the instructor’s work in and out of the classroom, in general. To determine whether these SETs are helpful in assessing effective teaching and the instructor’s work in and out of the classroom, in general, we sought to develop an instrument to measure the students’ perception of teaching and learning as represented by three concepts: Student, Course, and Instructor. We used scaled survey items, some of which we borrowed from other instruments to operationalize the concepts and create a pilot test. We analyzed the data using Factor analysis techniques. The result was an instrument that included 24 items scaled on a five-point Likert scale. Key words: Teaching evaluation, instructor evaluation, course evaluation, student evaluation of teaching, students’ perception of learning. Dans le secteur de l’éducation, divers outils ont servi à l’évaluation de l’efficacité de l’enseignement. Typiquement, les mesures de l’efficacité de l’enseignement comprennent, entre autres, la perception qu’a l’étudiant de son expérience en classe et avec son professeur. Les évaluations par les étudiants de l’enseignement sont une mesure couramment utilisée dans les universités américaines. Il est important de déterminer si ces évaluations par les étudiants sont utiles dans l’évaluation générale de l’efficacité de l’enseignement et du travail du professeur en salle de classe et à l’extérieur de celle-ci. Pour le faire, nous avons tenté de développer un instrument permettant de mesurer la perception qu’ont les étudiants de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage en fonction de trois concepts : l’étudiant, le cours et le professeur. Pour mettre en œuvre les concepts et créer un essai pilote, nous nous sommes servi de questions de sondage échelonnées, dont certaines ont été empruntées à d’autres instruments. Nous avons analysé les données avec des techniques d’analyse factorielle. Le résultat est un instrument à 24 items gradués selon l’échelle de Likert.

description: An optimal recombination operator for two parent solutions provides the best solution among those that take the value for each variable from one of the parents (gene transmission property). If the solutions are bit strings, the offspring of an optimal recombination operator is optimal in the smallest hyperplane containing the two parent solutions. Exploring this hyperplane is computationally costly, in general, requiring exponential time in the worst case. However, when the variable interaction graph of the objective function is sparse, exploration can be done in polynomial time.
 In this paper, we present a recombination operator, called Dynastic Potential Crossover (DPX), that runs in polynomial time and behaves like an optimal recombination operator for low-epistasis combinatorial problems. We compare this operator, both theoretically and experimentally, with traditional crossover operators, like uniform crossover and network crossover, and with two recently defined efficient recombination operators: partition crossover and articulation points partition crossover. The empirical comparison uses NKQ Landscapes and MAX-SAT instances. DPX outperforms the other crossover operators in terms of quality of the offspring and provides better results included in a trajectory and a population-based metaheuristic, but it requires more time and memory to compute the offspring.

description: Radial-velocity planet search campaigns are now beginning to detect low-mass "Super-Earth" planets, with minimum masses M sin i < 10 M_earth. Using two independently-developed methods, we have derived detection limits from nearly four years of the highest-precision data on 24 bright, stable stars from the Anglo-Australian Planet Search. Both methods are more conservative than a human analysing an individual observed data set, as is demonstrated by the fact that both techniques would detect the radial velocity signals announced as exoplanets for the 61 Vir system in 50% of trials. There are modest differences between the methods which can be recognised as arising from particular criteria that they adopt. What both processes deliver is a quantitative selection process such that one can use them to draw quantitative conclusions about planetary frequency and orbital parameter distribution from a given data set. Averaging over all 24 stars, in the period range P<300 days and the eccentricity range 0.07.1 m/s. For the best stars in the sample, we are able to detect or exclude planets with K>3 m/s, corresponding to minimum masses of 8 M_earth (P=5 days) or 17 M_earth (P=50 days). Our results indicate that the observed "period valley," a lack of giant planets (M>100 M_earth) with periods between 10-100 days, is indeed real. However, for planets in the mass range 10-100 M_earth, our results suggest that the deficit of such planets may be a result of selection effects.

description: Field  evaluations  of  irrigation  systems  play  a  fundamental  role  in  improving  surface
irrigation  design  and  management.  This  study  evaluated  performance  of  large  scale
irrigation  scheme,  Metahara  sugar  estate,  in  Awash  River  basin,  Ethiopia.  Field
evaluations  of  on-farm  irrigation  systems  under  operation  were  extensively  performed,
aiming  at  improving  both  systems  operation  and  irrigation  scheduling.
Field  measurements  were  conducted  during  selected  irrigation  events.  Soil,  crop,  and
climatic  data  have  been  collected  and  analyzed.  Irrigation  scheduling  and  field
application  performances  have  been  evaluated  followed  by  optimization  to  improve
irrigation  scheduling  and  system  operation.  Microsoft  excel  optimizer  'solver',  CROP
WAT  8  ,  and  SIRMOD  III  model  were  used  to  optimize  infiltration  parameters,
calculate  potential  evapotranspiration  and  optimize  field  application  performance
respectively.
The  result  showed  that  most of  the  irrigation  events  (about  80%)  were  late  in  timing  that
means  they  were  made  after  management  allowable  deficit  was  reached.  The  design  net
depth  of  application  of  75mm  is  lower  than  readily  available  water  holding  capacities  of
major  soils  in  the  root  zone.  Average  gross  applied  depth  of  irrigation  were  136mm  in
lOOm  furrows  and  207mm  in  200m  furrows  which  are  by  far  bigger  than  the  design
gross  application  of  103mm.  The  field  application  performance  evaluated  against  revised
target  depth  of  application  showed  that  application  efficiency,  requirement  efficiencies,
and  distribution  uniformities  were  generally  higher  in  lOOm  furrows  and  lower  in  200m
furrows.  It  was  also found  that the  performances  were  affected  by  irrigation  timing.
To  improve  the  irrigation  scheduling  different  net  depth  of application for  major  soils  are
recommended.  These  are  llOmm  in  heavy  clays  and  clays,  104mm  in  clay  over  loamy
soils  and  87mm  in  loam  soils.  Irrigation  interval  varying  across  soil  type,  season,  and
crop  stages  were  determined.  The  result  showed  that  determined  irrigation  intervals
generally  are  shorter  than  the  existing  "theoretical  irrigation  intervals"  .To  improve
operation  management cut  off time  determined  using  SIRMOD  III  simulation for  selected inflow  rates  are recommended.

description: Title:  GIS  based irrigation  suitability  Analysis: A case  study  in  Malagarazi river basin
in  Burundi
The  agriculture  in  Malagarazi  sub  basin  (Eastern  part  of Burundi)  is  currently  dependent  on
rainfed  system  with  limited  use  of irrigation.  Highly  variable  and  erratic  rainfall  and  lake  of
means  to  store  water  in  Malagarazi  sub  basin  has  contributed  to  drought  and  chronic  food
shortages.  Declining productivity  in  rainfed  agriculture  and  rapid  increase  of  population,  land
degradation,  and  land  scarcity  problem  are  the  factors  contributing  to  food  problems  in  the
area.  To  reduce  the  current  intensified  food  shortage  and  poverty  in  Malagarazi  sub  basin,
there  is  a need  of strategies  that  can  support  the  efforts  of ensuring  food  security  in  the  basin.
Irrigation  development was  found  to  be  best  strategic  option  to  ensure  food  security.  The  aim
of  this  research  is  therefore,  to  investigate  and  identify  potential  irrigable  area  using  the
existing  resources  such  as  land  and  water  resources  with  the  aid  of  geographic  information
system  (GIS).  The  total  identified  irrigable  area  for  Malagarazi  sub  basins  is  651ha,  849.5ha,
7  50ha  and  520  ha  for  Rukoziri,  Muyovozi,  Rumpungwe  and  Mukazye  sub-basins
respectively.  The  overall  identified  potentiial  irrigable  area  in  the  basin  is  in  the  order  of
829.5  ha.  The  total  available  irrigation  potential  can  not  be  developed  with  the  available
water.  Thus,  storage  is  essential.  It  can  be  concluded  that  the  identified  suitable  area  for
irrigation  in  Malagarazi  sub  basin  is  2,770.5ha.  This potential  irrigable  area,  combining  with
development  technology,  can  help  the  population  of  Malagarazi  sub  basin  which  is  largely
rural  and  dependent  on  agriculture  for  their  livelihoods.  It  will  reduce  the  chronic alnutrition,  poverty,  hunger and  increase  agricultural production

description: If the dark matter particle is a Majorana fermion, annihilations into two fermions and one gauge boson could have, for some choices of the parameters of the model, a non-negligible cross-section. Using a toy model of leptophilic dark matter, we calculate the constraints on the annihilation cross-section into two electrons and one weak gauge boson from the PAMELA measurements of the cosmic antiproton-to-proton flux ratio. Furthermore, we calculate the maximal astrophysical boost factor allowed in the Milky Way under the assumption that the leptophilic dark matter particle is the dominant component of dark matter in our Universe. These constraints constitute very conservative estimates on the boost factor for more realistic models where the dark matter particle also couples to quarks and weak gauge bosons, such as the lightest neutralino which we also analyze for some concrete benchmark points. The limits on the astrophysical boost factors presented here could be used to evaluate the prospects to detect a gamma-ray signal from dark matter annihilations at currently operating IACTs as well as in the projected CTA.

This final qualifying paper presents a method for detecting security breaches of cyber-physical systems using the example of industrial control systems by analyzing multivariate time series. The this paper investigated the means of security used in the process control system and proposed a method for detecting anomalies of cyber-physical processes based on the prediction of time series. The results of the evaluation of the developed method demonstrate the low accuracy of attack detection, which does not allow using the developed method in real systems.
COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF HORA AND JALALE  SMALLSCALE  IRRIGATION  SCHEMES  IN WESTERN OROMIA
Creators: name: BEKELE ARARSA
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: Small-scale  irrigation  schemes  are widely implemented  in  Ethiopia with  the  view to
enhance  food  production  and  poverty  alleviation.  To  meet  these  objectives  the
schemes  need  to  be  properly  managed  and  operated.  Comparative  performance
assessment  of  small  scale  irrigation  schemes  plays  a  great  role  in  identifying
performance  gaps  and  alerti ng  the  management to  improve  system  performance.
This  study  was  therefore  initiated  to  assess  and  compare  the  performances  of  the
two  small-scale  irrigation  schemes  (Hora  and  Jalale)  found  in  Western  Oromia.
For this  purpose  some  of  the  IWMl's  minimum  set  of  indicators  namely,  output  per
unit  cropped  area,  output  per  unit  command  area,  output  per  unit  water
consumed,  output  per  unit  irrigation  water  consumed,  gross  return  on  investment,
and  financial  self  sufficiency  have  been  used.  To  quantify  the  indicators  both
primary  and  secondary  data  have  been  used.  The  results  of  the  output  per
cropped  area  varied  from  22571  to  40588  Birr/ha,  and  the  output  per  unit
command  area  of  the  seasons  varied  from  4587  to  21640  Birr/ha  for  Hora
scheme.  Whereas  in  the  case  of  Jalale  scheme  output  per  cropped  area  varied
from  23553  to  24397Birr/ha  and  output  per  command  area  varied  from  17503  to
18797  Birr/ha.  The  output  per  unit  irrigation  supply  was  5.57  and  4.48  Birr/m3  in
Hora  Jalale  schemes  respectively.  The  relative  water  supply  (RWS)  was  2.8  and
3.16  for  Hora  and  Jalale  respectively.  The  relative  irrigation  water  supply  (RIS)
was  2. 76  and  2.91  for  Hora  & Jalale  respectively.  These  high  values  indicate  that
irrigation  water  was  not  a  constraint  and  higher  amount  of  water  was  diverted  to
both  command  area.  However,  in  the  long  run  such  kinds  of  over-irrigation  can
lead  to  undesirable  environmental  consequences  like  salinity,  water  logging  and
degradation  of  soil  fertility.  Generally,  Hora  scheme  was  found  to  more  productjve
than  Jalale  in  terms  of  indicator  considered.  Trainings  related  to  crop  selection,
crop  calendar,  irrigation  scheduling  and  on-farm  water  and  land  management
could  contribute  to  the  improvements  of  productivity  and  sustainable  use  of
resources.

description: We release a set of GPU programs for the study of the Quantum ($S=1/2$) Spin Glass on a square lattice, with binary couplings. The library contains two main codes: MCQSG (that carries out Monte Carlo simulations using both the Metropolis and the Parallel Tempering algorithms, for the problem formulated in the Trotter-Suzuki approximation), and EDQSG (that obtains the extremal eigenvalues of the Transfer Matrix using the Lanczos algorithm). EDQSG has allowed us to diagonalize transfer matrices with size up to $2^{36}\times2^{36}$. From its side, MCQSG running on four NVIDIA A100 cards delivers a sub-picosecond time per spin-update, a performance that is competitive with dedicated hardware. We include as well in our library GPU programs for the analysis of the spin configurations generated by MCQSG. Finally, we provide two auxiliary codes: the first generates the lookup tables employed by the random number generator of MCQSG; the second one simplifies the execution of multiple runs using different input data.

Reconciliation of Philosophical Perspectives to Address Autoethnographic Methodological Concerns
Creators: name: Sibbald, Timothy

Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2020

description: An instance of editorial work was found to address methodological issues at the juncture of autoethnography and narrative inquiry. The particular case is reported because it addresses the conceptual basis of known methodological issues. The case involved interactions between a chapter author and editors of a book as well as between the editors. Although the chapter was autoethnographic as initially submitted, through the use of research-oriented open-ended questioning, the editors engaged with the author causing the author to gain a deeper insight and richer narrative regarding his own experience. The result bridges the gap between autoethnography and narrative inquiry. Interactions between the editors were directed at providing constructive support while leaving ownership of the narrative with the author. The process has features overlapping and distinct from duoethnography. An empirical explanation is proposed through the reconciliation of philosophical stances of the author and editors. Key words: Autoethnography, narrative inquiry, emergent design, duoethnography, editorial methodology Un exemple de travail éditorial a permis d’aborder des questions méthodologiques à la jonction de l’autoethnographie et de l’enquête narrative. Le cas particulier à l’étude porte sur la base conceptuelle de questions méthodologiques connues. Le cas implique des interactions entre l’auteur d’un chapitre et les éditeurs d’un livre, ainsi que des interactions entre les éditeurs. Bien que le chapitre ait été autoethnographique lors de la soumission initiale, l’emploi par les éditeurs de questions ouvertes axées sur la recherche et communiquées à l’auteur lui a permis d’arriver à des connaissances approfondies et à un récit enrichi relativement à ses propres expériences. Les résultats jettent un pont entre l’autoethnographie et l’enquête narrative. Les interactions entre les éditeurs visaient à apporter un appui constructif tout en permettant à l’auteur de conserver son récit. Certaines caractéristiques du processus chevauchent la duoethnographie; d’autres s’en distinguent. Nous proposons une explication empirique née de la réconciliation des positions philosophiques de l’auteur et des éditeurs.

description: We discuss the passage-time statistics of superradiant light pulses generated during the scattering of laser light from an elongated atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. Focusing on the early-stage of the phenomenon, we analyze the corresponding probability distributions and their scaling behaviour with respect to the threshold photon number and the coupling strength. With respect to these parameters, we find quantities which only vary significantly during the transition between the Kapitza Dirac and the Bragg regimes. A possible connection of the present observations to Brownian motion is also discussed.

description: This  study  was  conducted  in  Nech  Sar  National  Park ,  Gama  Gofa  zone,  Southern  Ethiopia
with  the  objective  of  determining  the  major  encroaching  woody  plant  species  in  the  park,
their  seed  distribution  pattern,  their  impact  on  grass  biodiversity  as  well  as  the  possible
causes  of  encroachment  in  the  area.  Systematic  sampling  method  was  used  to  collect
vegetation  data.  A  total  of  80  quadrats  each  with  400  m

(20  m  X 20  m)  were  established
along  four  line  transects  for  woody species  data  collection.  Grass  species  data  was  collected
from  1  m
2
sub plots  at  the  4  corners  and center  of  the  20  main plots.  To  know the  pattern  of
seed  distribution for  dominant  species  soil  samples  were  taken  from  the  center  and  four
corners  of  15 selected  plots.  Data  on  species  cover  abundance,  presence  of  a  species,  height,
'
altitude  and  geographical coordinates  were  recorded  from  each  quadrat.  Density, frequency,
dominance  and  abundance  were  used  to  describe  vegetation  structure.  Alpha,  Gamma  and
Beta  diversity  and also  Shannon-Wiener diversity  and evenness  index  were  used to  assess  the
levels  of  diversity.  Correlation  analysis  was  conducted  to  investigate  the  impact  of  woody
species  on grass  diversity.  A  total  of  24  woody  species  belonging to  15  genera  and 9  families
were  recorded  in  the  park.  Species  such  as  Cyathula  orthacantha,  Abutilon  figarianum,
Dichrostachys  cinerea,  Barleria  acanthoides,  Solanum  incanum,  Acacia  oerfota  and  A.
mellifera  were found  to  be  the  major  encroaching  species.  The  plant  community  analysis
revealed the  existence  of  four  community types.  Density of  woody  species  in  the  park  found to
be  4402  ha-
1.
Overgrazing,  fire  suppression,  climate  change  in  terms  of  erratic  rainfall  and
drought are  considered to  be  among the  main  factors  that  caused woody  plant encroachment.
Expansion  of  bush  cover  is  confirmed  to  have  a  negative  impact  on  grass  diversity.  Since,
diversity  of  grass  species  negatively  correlated  with  woody  density  (r=-0:943,  p<0.10).  it  is
.  believed  that  bush  encroachment  has  already  started  to  affect  sustainability  of  the  park
particularly  in  the form  of  habitat  change.  Grazing  animalsare  assumed  to  be  the  primary
victims  of  the  current dynamics.  Therefore,  implementation  of  holistic  approach  that  involves
the  whole  community  and  experts  to  control  expansion  of  bush  encroachment  and  decrease
the  contribution  of  over  grazing  and  settlement  to  bush  encroachment  are  recommended  as possible solutions.

description: Candidate transiting planet systems discovered by wide-field ground-based surveys must go through an intensive follow-up procedure to distinguish the true transiting planets from the much more common false positives. Especially pernicious are configurations of three or more stars which produce radial velocity and light curves that are similar to those of single stars transited by a planet. In this contribution we describe the methods used by the HATNet team to reject these blends, giving a few illustrative examples.
