Abstract:

There are over 650 million acres of federal public lands in the United States that allow access to nature. Public lands are utilized for a variety of different activities, ranging from preservation to resource extraction. Regardless of proximity, public lands belong to everyone in the United Sates. From January to August 2016, I opportunistically and purposively collected sixteen interviews in Arizona, a state with 38.5% federal public lands, and sixteen in Texas (1.5% federal public lands), to document attitudes, opinions, and ideas about public lands in the United States. Conducting such interviews provides insight into the many different perspectives that people from different areas and backgrounds have about public land, and also acts as a medium for outreach and education. Although the data collected is not representative, it exemplifies different opinions that exist in regards to public land. Opinions such as these can affect management policy and inform how people advocate for public lands now and in the future. I attempted to capture candid responses from the interviewees utilizing an open-ended interview guide to elicit the interviewee’s emotions, reactions, attitudes, and opinions towards public lands. All interviewees appreciated access to nature through public lands regardless of their experience with or knowledge about them. Most interviewees were familiar with national parks, but not all knew about national forests, national wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, or the national system of public lands. Several themes emerged, including issues of access, extractive industries such as grazing and mining, and discussions of federal versus state management.

Abstract:

The vast swathes of public lands in the western U.S. have long been connected with both the culture and daily lives of the people that live near them. The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship that individuals have with public lands and how that relationship relates to their opinions about the federal agencies (specifically the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management) that oversee those public lands. This is done through the use of the effective bond attachment to public lands, which is the degree to which individuals feel connected to public lands through both the opportunities they provide to enjoy their desired lifestyle, functional connections, and the ways in which personal identity is tied to those lands, emotional connections. Assessing this bond is done through analysis and interpretation of selected data from the 2007 Public Lands and Utah Communities survey, which looked at a variety of connections Utah residents have to the state’s many public lands. This study utilizes a novel statistical method known as the “inverted-R analysis,” which groups respondents based on answers to a variety of attitudinal measures, to develop three distinct typologies of attachment to public lands. Analysis of differences between the groups of respondents that expressed different types of attachment revealed no correlation between attachment to public lands and opinions about land managers. All respondents expressed generally negative sentiment towards both Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management land managers. However, respondents who expressed a stronger attachment to public lands also demonstrated higher levels of interaction with public lands. Additionally, functional and emotional connections to public lands were shown to operate as two separate parts of attachment to public lands. This reinforces the modeling of the conceptualization attachment to public lands after the related concept, place attachment. This study demonstrated both the strong connections individuals in Utah have with public lands and the strong opinions held about the agencies that manage those lands.

Abstract:

For nearly thirty years, the Subdivision Control Act of 1967 (SCA) was the state statute that governed land division in Michigan. The SCA allowed for an indiscriminant pattern of large lot, rural land division that challenged, if not destroyed, viable land resource production. In 1996, the Michigan Legislature passed the Land Division Act (LDA), which repealed and replaced the title and certain sections of the SCA. The LDA attempts to eliminate many of the results that the former statute had on rural land by establishing fewer division before platting is required and offering incentives to retain greater percentages of the parcel being partitioned. This research examines the current efficiency of the incentives, to retain 60% or more of the original parcel, in Eaton and Montmorency counties, which represent two scenario locations. The findings reveal that the incentives have not been utilized in Montmorency County and minimally utilized in Eaton County. Those unplatted land divisions that utilized the incentives, commonly referred to as "bonus" parcels, are located in rural regions, with predominantly agricultural land cover, in proximity to urbanized areas. The results indicate that the incentives under the LDA have been minimally applied and have not yet helped retain significant portions of resource productive land in Michigan.

Abstract:

Public water utilities are tasked with providing high quality, inexpensive water often sourced from watersheds representing a diverse mix of public and private land ownership. There is increasing recognition amongst water resource managers of the role that private landowners play in determining downstream water quality, but bringing together landowners with a wide variety of land management objectives under the umbrella of watershed stewardship has proven difficult. Recently, a large number of "Payment for Watershed Services" programs have aimed to engage private landowners in watershed stewardship initiatives by offering financial incentives for adopting watershed best management practices. However, a growing field of research suggests that financial incentives alone may be of limited utility to encourage widespread and long-standing behavior change, and instead understanding landowner attitudes and non-financial barriers to stewardship program enrollment has become a focus of research. This research examines a population of rural landowners representing a diversity of agricultural, forestry, recreational, and investment objectives in the Clackamas River watershed, Oregon. I designed and distributed a mail and web-based survey instrument intended to measure land uses and land ownership objectives, attitudes towards watershed stewardship programs, barriers to enrollment in stewardship programs, and preferred incentives and goals that would promote enrollment. I received 281 valid responses for a response rate of 29%. I conducted two primary analyses: one focused on relating attitudes and barriers to intent to enroll in a watershed stewardship program, and one focused on identifying how diverse landowners differ according to factors influencing enrollment in stewardship programs. I found that landowners did not report financial considerations to be a primary barrier to enrollment and expressed low interest in receiving financial incentives. Instead, landowners reported that primary barriers related to lack of trust, ecological understanding, and concerns that stewardship program enrollment would be incompatible with their land management objectives. I do not discount the potential utility of financial incentives under certain circumstances, but emphasize the importance of addressing these other considerations before incentives can make a meaningful impact. I compared how barriers to enrollment were perceived by landowners with different land management objectives relating to production, investment, and conservation. I found that landowner attitudes were differentiated from one another primarily by their use of land for production purposes; however, I found a large amount of diversity between producers and non-producers in the degree to which they considered investment and conservation objectives in their land management, and these two variables added further explanatory power to understanding fine-scale differences in how landowner typologies relate to conservation programs.

Abstract:

The marginal fringe region of Canada is an agricultural area which is near the environmental and economic limits for commercial agricultural production. Combinations of physical factors and social and economic influences result in an area that experiences dramatic shifts in land use and agricultural development. Government policy is, however, a potentially significant controlling and stabilizing factor in the region's development. It is therefore fundamentally important that government plan its diverse functions and responsibilities in the marginal fringe to ensure an effective, equitable and efficient allocation of society's scarce resources. This thesis analyses existing planning programs for the development of agriculture on Crown land in Canada's marginal fringe region. It seeks to determine whether these programs have the potential to ensure the efficient and equitable development of agricultural land. This thesis also addresses the problem of how we should effectively develop our shrinking supply of undeveloped arable land and whether existing planning programs adequately address the major issues in the development process. The methods of investigation include a series of three case studies: St. John's, Newfoundland; Fort Nelson, British Columbia and; Fort Vermilion, Alberta. The case studies are analysed using a framework based on an idealized planning process developed in-the first chapter. This framework is applied to representative planning exercises in each case in order to illustrate the overall planning program's strengths and weaknesses. Based on this broad analysis, I present, in conclusion, the most crucial questions for developing effective planning programs in the marginal fringe and apply these questions to the cases studied. Official reports and surveys, detailed correspondence, personal and telephone interviews, and first-hand experience form the basis for analysis in the case studies. A literature review is the basis for the contextual elements developed in Part I of this thesis. The results of this study raise a number of concerns about existing planning programs for the agricultural development of Crown land in the marginal fringe, particularly in British Columbia and Newfoundland. The crucial issues for developing effective planning programs in the marginal fringe include the need for a clearly articulated, stable yet flexible, program focussing on the marginal fringe region. The agricultural lead agency's involvement is crucial for these programs. Further questions consider how well environmental factors are inventoried, evaluated and communicated to decision-makers; whether adequate socio-economic assessments are permitted; if alternative resource development options to agriculture are considered; whether government programs related to agricultural development are effective or whether they are inconsistent with planning program objectives, and whether the public understand and support the planning program. Planning the agricultural development of Crown land in the marginal fringe is in its infancy. Sudden changes to programs, as in British Columbia, and funding deadlines, as in Newfoundland, are harmful to the efficient and effective development of frontier resources and they erode government credibility. Some jurisdictions, such as Alberta, are making rapid strides in applying many of the traditional planning techniques, although social and economic assessment is very weak or absent altogether in each of the programs studied. Usually, decisions are based on a narrow assessment of environmental factors and there are often significant gaps in essential data, especially climate. Alternative resource development options to agriculture are seriously considered only in British Columbia. Only in Alberta has the vital element of public support begun to be appreciated. Elsewhere, public involvement is, more or less, neglected or mishandled. In conclusion, this thesis raises a number of issues requiring future research, related mainly to socio-economic assessment and planning program development. Also a series-of more detailed normative principles are offered for the improvement of planning programs for the agricultural development of Crown land in the marginal fringe.

Isaac, Munther B. I. "From land to lands, from Eden to the renewed earth : a Christ-centred biblical theology of the promised land." Thesis, Middlesex University, 2014. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/13711/.

Full text

Abstract:

The theology of the land must start in the Garden of Eden. Eden is a sanctuary, a covenanted land, and a royal garden. Eden is proto-land, and Adam is proto-Israel. Starting in Eden underlines the universal dimension of the land promise and its conditionality. It also elevates ethical behaviour above the gift. The theology of the land in the OT reflects these Edenic themes: holiness, covenant, and kingdom. First, the holiness of the land depends on the presence of God in the land, and on the holiness of its dwellers; there is no permanent holy place in the OT. Secondly, the land is a gift under treaty; the goal of the gift is establishing an ideal covenantal community that witnesses to other nations in other lands. Thirdly, the land is the sphere of God’s reign on earth through his vicegerent. The vicegerent brings justice and peace to the land. God remains the ultimate king in the land. The original promise to Israel is a promise of universal dominion. After the exile, the prophets spoke of a time in which the land would become an ideal place. This ideal land is, effectively, Eden restored. The restoration of the land ultimately points forward to the restoration of the earth. The land in the OT underlines the social dimension to redemption. Yet, importantly, Israel’s faith can survive without the land. The Jesus-event is the starting place for the theology of the land in the NT. Jesus restored Israel and fulfilled the promises of the OT, including the land. He embodied the holy presence of God on earth, kept the covenant on behalf of Israel, and brought the reign of God on earth. He inherited the land, and in him Jews and Gentile are its true heirs. This radical new fulfilment, brought about by the Jesus-event, dramatically changed the meaning of the land and nullified the old promises in their old articulation. The NT points forward to a time of consummation when the whole earth will become an ideal place or a redeemed land. The land has thus been universalized in Christ. Universalization does not mean the ‘spiritualization’ or ‘heavenization’. Instead, the theology of the land of Israel – modified in the Jesus-event – is a paradigm for Christian communities living in other lands. The theology of the land thus underlines the social and territorial dimensions of redemption. It also highlights the goodness of creation, and has many practical implications for the ongoing mission and practice of the Church throughout the world.

Full text

Abstract:

Research was conducted over a 2-year period at the University of Arizona Campus and Oracle Agricultural Centers to evaluate the effectiveness of surface imprintation in revegetating arid lands. Introduction of forage leguminous species into arid rangelands through land imprintat ion was another objective of this study. The soil at the Campus Center is a Brasito, mixed thermic, typic torripsamment with a sandy-loam texture. This was compared with a White House, fine mixed thermic, Ustollic haplargid with a sandyloam texture at the Oracle Center. Natural rains were the only source of irrigation at Oracle. At the Campus Center, however, a sprinkler irrigation system was installed to match rains with that at the Oracle Center. Three cover treatments together with four surface treatments were used at both sites. The cover treatments included a pure stand of grasses, a pure stand of legumes, and a mixture of both grasses and legumes. The surface treatments were imprinted, mulched, imprinted-mulched, and an untreated surface as a check. Surface imprintation was performed by a land imprinter at Oracle and by a hand imprinter at Campus. The imprinted surface significantly increased soil moisture retention, number of plants per unit area, plant height, plant cover, and biomass compared to the untreated surface. At the Oracle Center, the imprinted surface improved legume germination by 800% over the untreated surface, and by 367% over the mulched one. Corresponding percentages at Campus were 48 and 4% over the untreated and the mulched surfaces, respectively. Increases in biomass production achieved through surface imprintation were 102% over the untreated surface and 35% over the mulched surface at the Oracle Center. Corresponding increases at Campus were 63 and 33% over the untreated and the mulched surfaces, respectively. Plants grown on imprinted surfaces exhibited higher transpiration rates, lower diffusive resistance, and cooler leaf temperature compared to those grown on the untreated surfaces. Addition of mulch to the imprinted surface made no significant differences with respect to the parameters measured when compared to the imprinted surface without mulch. When mulch was used as a separate treatment, however, it significantly increased the parameters measured over the untreated surface. The effect of cover treatments on growth parameters and biomass production was masked by seasonality. Grasses tended to be superior over legumes in samples taken during the fall and the opposite was true during the summer. Mixing legumes with grasses, however, resulted in significantly taller grasses compared to grasses grown as a pure stand.

Di, Giminiani P. "Ancient lands, contemporary disputes : land restoration and belonging among the Mapuche people of Chile." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2011. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1137966/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the phenomenon of land restitution among native people, which has emerged as a central issue within the broader context of State-indigenous people relations in the last two decades. By focusing on idioms of land and place among the Mapuche people of Southern Chile, it approaches land restitution as a process in which two different understandings of the meanings associated with ancestral land, one of Mapuche people and the other one of the Chilean State, are brought together. This encounter is characterised by both unresponsive attitudes by functionaries working within the bureaucratic and legal framework and by genuine misunderstandings on the significance of ancestral land for the Mapuche people. More specifically, divergences are centred on the issue of cultural continuity between Mapuche residing in rural communities and the dwellers of the demanded ancestral land. By following the implications of the idiom of tuwün, as the specific geographical location of the origins for each Mapuche person, this thesis illustrates how the significance of ancestral land coexists with ambivalent feelings of distance towards the ancestry. The relation between Mapuche people and their locality is central to the analysis of land claims. In this thesis, the claim made by Mapuche people that their ancestral place of origins is both a given element of the individual and a necessary condition in order to be Mapuche will not be taken as a discursive articulation of identity. Rather, by focusing on both the relation between human and non-human components of the local environment and the significance of the tuwün as a potential determination of Self and Otherness at different levels, the local ethnography will unambiguously point at the salience of the relation between Mapuche residents and their local surroundings.

Esta tese investiga uma série de filmes latino-americanos recentes, Y tu Mamá También, Diários de Motocicleta, Cinema, Aspirinas e Urubus, O caminho das Nuvens, O céu de Suely, and El Camino de San Diego que gravitam ao redor de questões como viagem, deslocamento, movimento. Tais filmes respondem ao impulso transnacional corrente e constroem o trânsito e uma crítica da (i)mobilidade. Tais trabalhos imaginam e (re)desenham construtos históricos e novas subjetividades na experiência da errância que ocorre nas corrosivas tensões de inclusão e exclusão. Assim, esses filmes sugerem uma nocção de (i)mobilidade que é simultaneamente movimento física entre locais - sinônimo de viagem, por exemplo - e um movimento politicamente carregado. As implicações políticas são múltiplas políticas, implicando uma reconsideração de noçoes como casa, nomadismo e pertencimento. Na trajetória nomádica desses filmes a força desterritorializadora do cinema constrói afiliações e oferece um espaço transnacional, transcultural e translocal para imaginar a política de dispersão na América Latina de nossos tempos.

Abstract:

Accounting for carbon removals and reducing the carbon emissions related to the LULUCF sector has become a relevant target to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5ºC, in alignment with the Paris Agreement. The role of this sector as such an important natural carbon sink is getting the attention of the research community, corporations, and institutions. Accounting for carbon removals and emissions from land, plants, and products seems to be a very attractive cost-efficientstrategy, especially to be part of the companies’ carbon footprint in their way to become climatepositive. However, the current lack of guidelines concerning this type of assessment is still a significant obstacle for many of them to join this pathway. This study aims to provide an approach for quantifying this carbon footprint for the case of IKEA’s wood-based products. With that purpose, a methodology for performing this assessment has been developed. The focus is on two main sections of the company’s carbon footprint, the land-use carbon footprint associated with the harvested wood materials, and the climate benefit of storing carbon in these biogenic products during their lifetime. This theoretical model is based on the principles included in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and the International Reference Life Cycle Data System dynamic accounting method, including the directions that the Greenhouse Gas Protocol is adopting to develop the new standard. This analysis shows how the land carbon removals or emissions and delayed emissions associated with IKEA wood-based products vary depending on their origin and type of material. Whether the sourcing countries' performance for storing carbon in land is favourable or not relies on the forest management practices occurring at a national level. In addition, during the last years, national forests have suffered a general shrinking effect in their carbon stocks, which could cause negative effects for the development of their potential and future assessments.
Redovisning av koldioxidavlägsnande och minskning av koldioxidutsläpp relaterade till LULUCF-sektorn har blivit ett relevant mål för att begränsa den globala temperaturökningen till 1,5 ° C, i linje med Parisavtalet. Denna sektors roll som en så viktig naturlig kolsänka får uppmärksamhet från forskarsamhället, företag och institutioner. Redovisning av koldioxidavlägsning och utsläpp från mark, växter och produkter verkar vara en mycket attraktiv kostnadseffektiv strategi, särskilt att vara en del av företagens koldioxidavtryck för att bli klimatpositivt. Den nuvarande bristen på riktlinjer för denna typ av bedömning är dock fortfarande ett betydande hinder för många av dem att ansluta sig till denna väg. Denna studie syftar till att ge en metod för att kvantifiera detta koldioxidavtryck för fallet med IKEAs träbaserade produkter. Med detta syfte har en metod för att utföra denna bedömning utvecklats. Fokus ligger på två huvudsektioner i företagets koldioxidavtryck, koldioxidavtrycket för markanvändning i samband med de skördade trämaterialen och klimatfördelen med att lagra kol i dessa biogena produkter under deras livstid. Denna teoretiska modell är baserad på principerna i den mellanstatliga panelen för riktlinjer för klimatförändringar för nationella växthusgasinventeringar och den dynamiska redovisningsmetoden International Reference Life Cycle Data System, inklusive de riktningar som växthusgasprotokollet antar för att utveckla den nya standarden. Den här analysen visar hur koldioxidutsläpp eller utsläpp och fördröjda utsläpp i samband med IKEA-träbaserade produkter varierar beroende på deras ursprung och typ av material. Huruvida sourcingländernas prestanda för lagring av koldioxid i mark är gynnsamma eller inte är beroende av skogsförvaltningsmetoderna på nationell nivå. Under de senaste åren har nationella skogar dessutom drabbats av en generell krympande effekt i sina koldioxidlager, vilket kan orsaka negativa effekter för utvecklingen av deras potentiella och framtida bedömningar.

The analysis of the Land fund administration of the Republic of Lithuania has both theoretical and practical significance. It is important to point out that state land management and administration regulation is rather intricate, complicated, with existing legal loopholes, therefore, the paper analyses in detail the work of institutions regulating land relations, and legal aspects of the sale of state agricultural land. The work also assesses whether the abolition of counties can ensure better Land fund administration.

Abstract:

In this thesis, a hybrid scheme is proposed for the purpose of suppressing the effect of external modulation and/or laser nonlinearities in Subcarrier Multiplexing (SCM) fiber optic communications systems. Hybrid CDMA/FDMA combines two schemes in such a way that the resulting hybrid network is robust against interference and is much more spectrally efficient than a CDMA system. Several possible architectures for the hybrid CDMA/FDMA subcarrier fiber optic Local Area Network (LAN) are introduced. These networks utilize CDMA and SCM, an asynchronous multiple access scheme with no waiting time. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Multiple Access (DS/SSMA), the most common form of CDMA in which each user is assigned a particular code sequence which modulates the carrier along with digital data, is employed. It is shown that by using the code sequence sets for which the shift-and-add property holds, the Intermodulation Products (IMPs) and harmonics have a similar interference-like effect as the non-matching sequences. Owing to the fact that shift-and-add property holds for conventional spreading sequences, i.e., Gold, Kasami and maximal-length sequences, the suppression of nonlinearity distortion is evaluated. An average error probability performance evalution of the selected configuration for a transceiver pair is presented. In analysis of the system, we assume the interference term arising from other users is gaussian distributed. The results are compared to that obtained from exact evaluation of interference distribution using the Gauss Quadrature Rule integration (GQR) method. We compare the performance of this scheme for two different code sequence sets (N = 127 Gold and N = 255 Kasami codes) and determine that there is a significant advantage in deploying the N = 255 Kasami codes. We also present some preliminary experimental results on the proposed LAN implementation as well as the transmission performance. The results show great promise.

Abstract:

Paper Presented at the Kuwait Symposium on Management and Technology of Water Resources in Arid Zones, Kuwait, October 5-7, 1987.
The use of water harvesting systems in arid lands offers the potential of making lands productive that are now largely unusable due to lack of water for domestic livestock or agricultural use. As long as there is rainfall a water harvesting system can be designed to collect that rainfall and store it until it can be used for beneficial use. The water harvesting system consists of a catchment and a storage facility. If the water is to be used for agriculture it would also include an agricultural area. The agricultural area could be located within the catchment area or in a separate nearby area. Many different treatments have been tested for use in catchment construction. These treatments increase the runoff by decreasing the permeability of the surface and or reducing the time the water stays on the surface or amount of water trapped on the surface. A list of the more promising treatments in order of their increasing cost, are: (1) Shaped compacted-earth; (2) sodium-treated shaped compacted-earth; (3) wax-treated shaped compacted-earth; (4) gravel-covered plastic; (5) fiberglass-asphalt chipcoated; (6) asphalt-plastic-asphalt chipcoated; (7) rubberized-asphalt chipcoated; and (8) reinforced-mortar-covered plastic. The use of compartmented reservoirs make storage of water more efficient. Evaporation and in some cases seepage losses are reduced using the compartmented reservoir by keeping the water concentrated into a volume with as small a surface area as possible. This method of storage when combined with the collection of runoff from a natural surface or with one that is inexpensively treated makes it practical to provide water for supplemental irrigation. This combination is called a water harvesting agrisystem. Concentration of water in a compartmented reservoir can be accomplished in flat terrain using a pump. If the water is being used at a fast enough rate concentration can also be accomplished by selective removal. Alternatively with topography of a sufficient grade, concentration can be accomplished by gravity. Evaporation control on the compartmented reservoir can be improved by placing an evaporation control barrier on the "last" compartment, the one in which water is concentrated and has water in it the longest time. This enhances the value of the evaporation control barrier and increases the dependable water supply. A computer model has been developed to help in the design of the water harvesting systems including agrisystems with compartmented reservoirs. This program fits on portable personal computers and can thus be taken by the designer to a field location to develop an optimum design at a minimum cost. The model can be improved through calibration in a given area as systems are installed and data collected.

Full text

Abstract:

In 1907 the Liberal Government was under immense pressure to buy more Maori land throughout the North Island and it appointed a Commission comprising Chief Justice Sir Robert Stout and Apirana Ngata, to decide what land was 'excessive' to Maori needs and could be opened up for Pakeha settlement by way of lease or sale, and what areas Maori should be allowed to keep for their own occupation. The Stout-Ngata Commission operated over a two year period from 1907 through to the beginning of 1909. By conducting their own research as to the amounts of land still left in Maori control, and convening sittings which the Maori owners were invited to attend, the Commission attempted to establish how much Maori land was still needed for their own occupation, and how much could be made available for public settlement. Throughout this whole period it was the stated hope of both Stout and Ngata to 'do justice to the Maori', The sittings were conducted throughout various districts and counties in the North Island; proceedings were often held on local marae, community halls, and in the Courthouse. What was special about the work of the Commission more so than any other Government Commission which had investigated Maori land, was the way in which Stout and Ngata went right in amongst the people, and enabled Maori to freely express their concerns about the land, and present ideas as to its future utilisation. The relationship between the Commissioners and the iwi living in each region was unique, and was often based around Maori concerns which had been shaped as a result of specific circumstances surrounding each region's history. However, the primary wish of all Maori who gave evidence to the Commission was their desire to maintain control over their lands. In this respect the people were vehemently opposed to any further sales of their lands, although many were prepared to consider leasing some of their blocks. Stout and Ngata heard evidence from Maori over the two year period, which was interspersed by their writing of reports and presentation of their official recommendations. It became apparent soon after the release of their first General Report, that the Commission was not just going to be another Crown agent for acquiring 'surplus' Maori land, and instead their investigations focused on the needs of Maori. Stout and Ngata became particularly well known for the encouragement they gave Maori to farm their own lands, rather than forcing them to give it up for Pakeha settlement. In relation to this, their primary recommendation identified that the Crown had a duty to provide Maori with sufficient education and financial support in order to allow the people to begin prosperous farming operations like their Pakeha counterparts. This recommendation was largely ignored by the Government, until twenty years after the Commission, when Ngata was able to implement the policy which he and his colleague Sir Robert Stout had vigorously proposed during their tenure as Commissioners from 1907-1909.

Abstract:

Loss and degradation of grassland habitat are driving forces that contribute to widespread declines of grassland birds in the United States. Many studies have evaluated habitat needs for the conservation of grassland birds, but the relative contribution of public lands in representing and maintaining avian biodiversity remains poorly understood. Having a better understanding of the role that publicly managed grasslands play in the conservation of grassland bird habitat is important for assessing the value of the investment the American public makes in these lands, therefore I investigated spatial relations among variations in amounts and distributions of publicly owned and managed grassland habitat and avian species richness. My study focused on two ecoregions, the Northwestern Great Plains and the High Plains, which comprise a substantial portion of the U.S. Great Plains, the continental Central Flyway for migratory bird species. The Great Plains provide critical nesting habitat for grassland birds, however federally owned and managed grasslands are unequally distributed between the two ecoregions, with the Northwestern Great Plains having a greater proportion of federally owned grasslands. I found that, overall, the quantity, size, and connectivity of grasslands were greater in the Northwestern Great Plains, and the region hosted slightly more of the 13 species I studied than did in the High Plains. Both ecoregions, however, sustained roughly half of their respective public lands as grassland. Areas of higher species richness were more widespread in the Northwestern Great Plains ecoregion and were associated with BLM, FWS, and NPS holdings. In the High Plains ecoregion, areas of higher species richness were limited to the northwest within FWS, USFS, and DOD holdings. Areas managed for biodiversity in both ecoregions were not necessarily associated with higher species richness. For example, some areas with the greatest species richness in the High Plains ecoregion were managed for multiple uses, but the onus for conservation of grassland birds need not fall entirely on the federal government. Non-public (privately held) grasslands in the landscapes surrounding public lands can add value to public grasslands by helping to offset habitat fragmentation and small patch size. My analyses found this particularly evident in the High Plains ecoregion, and it speaks to the importance of grassland bird habitat conservation being a joint effort among federal agencies and private landowners.

Abstract:

Noxious weeds are harmful plants that are regulated by law. It is their regulation that makes them unique from other weeds. At least 14 noxious weed species are known to occur in Arizona. The Federal Noxious Weed Act of 1974, as amended in 1990, directs all federal agencies to develop, coordinate, fund, and implement noxious weed programs on land that they manage. This dissertation describes and evaluates the implementation of federal noxious weed policy by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management in Arizona. Policy design methodology is used to construct a model of federal policy. Policy elements evaluated include statutes, implementing agents, target audiences, and the policy rules and tools that link these players to policy outcomes. Interviews with agents and targets revealed that there are no noxious weed programs being conducted on Forest Service or BLM lands in Arizona. Also, there is an insignificant amount of funding being provided for such programs. Policy design methods are used to assess the context of the implementation problem. Policy tools are recommended to address the lack of knowledge about infestation levels and management options. Additional support building tools are recommended to address the adaption of integrated weed management techniques.

Abstract:

The usage of Wireless Local Area Networks is increasing rapidly throughout the world. The technology today is not quality proof for the market’s demands. We want to be able to completely wireless perform our demands, such as confer via video or IP-telephony. This is what we call multimedia real-time traffic. It may be achieved over the physical infrastructure in some areas with good results. The goal of this Master’s Thesis is to analyze the possibilities and give solutions and suggestions to achieve multimedia over the wireless networks, with emphasis on the protocol Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA).

This Master’s Thesis is a theoretical study and the suggested solutions have not been tested in an actual wireless network. Instead they have been tested by computer simulation to give an indication of improvements. Basic configurations are set to the same as in the IEEE 802.11 standard.

Different methods to reach possible improvements of a WLAN are studied, analyzed and simulated. Such methods are: priority, congestion management and multi-channel protocol. Simulations results show how the priority affects the wireless network and how a multi-channel protocol improves the latency and efficiency of the network. The simulation part is concentrated to show improvements of real-time traffic, which is time sensitive. With a multi- channel protocol the network can allow more users, i.e. more traffic. Also, the network will gain improvement in stability.

Abstract:

A widely adopted approach for interconnecting local area computer networks (LANs) is to use MAC bridges, and building or site-wide backbone subnetworks. When using backbones to interconnect a large number of segments, however, it is important to ensure that the backbone itself does not form a bottleneck in the network. To overcome this problem, high-speed networks are normally used as backbones, especially with applications involving substantial cross-site traffic. To realise the full benefits of backbones, the overheads associated with relaying frames to and from the backbones must be minimised. In interconnecting high-speed LANs and backbones, the desired features of a bridge relaying/routing scheme are: minimum processing at bridges, optimal route selection between end-stations and transparency to end-stations and higher-layer protocols. Each of the two types of bridge routing schemes that have been standardised - transparent spanning tree, and source routing - do not fully meet all of these criteria. The former requires a large filtering database in all bridges that slows down their performance and the spanning tree algorithm does not make optimal use of bandwidth. The latter is considered more efficient because it requires simpler processing at bridges and derives optimum routes. It is not transparent to end stations, however, and route discovery overheads can be very high in complex topologies. This thesis describes research that addresses each of these limitations and also the results of a set of simulations relating to the performance of high-speed backbone networks. A modification to the existing source routing scheme, termed as reduced broadcast source routing, was developed to minimise unnecessary broadcast of route discovery frames.

Abstract:

Network interconnection (internetworking) is an important issue in the area of computer communication. One of the purposes of internetworking is to allow communication to go beyond a single local area network (LAN). In this thesis, networks interconnection is studied. An internetworking device - (gate-way) is proposed to provide the capability of internetwork data transmission between LANs through an ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network). This gateway is an application layer program which interfaces with the NetBIOS (Network Input Output System), a widely implemented interface between application programs and LANs in the IBM personal computer world. The NetBIOS interface is provided in both LAN and ISDN environments in a connection-oriented mode. A facility for file transfer and information exchange among LANs through ISDN is developed in such a way that it neither affects the existing network hardware and software available in both LANs and ISDN nor changes the mechanism of communication within a LAN. In particular, the emphasis is given to the specification, design and implementation of the gateway. In our model, the gateway is specified with a finite state machine. Based on the model, the gateway is designed by considering the issues of naming, name assigning, buffering, session handling, multi-session managing and error processing. A prototype of the gateway is implemented on a PC/XT computer with a LAN adapter, an ISDN adapter and the gateway program coded in "C". Performance benchmarks are conducted in terms of two factors: Message size and background traffic. These factors may affect the performance of internetwork data transmission. Finally, test results on different network conditions are given.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis provides new insight concerning drivers behind differences in arthropod diversity and abundance in Baltic shore ecosystems and how the arthropod communities might be affected when the conditions in the Baltic Sea are altered due to climate change. The focus has been on climate related changes that are unique for coastal ecosystems, especially sea level rise and changes in the inflow of marine nutrients. As sea levels rise, features in coastal landscapes will be altered, islands and habitats will be flooded and diminished, and structural connectivity within the island landscape will therefore change. This thesis shows that arthropod diversity within the two arthropod groups, spiders and beetles, increases with island size but also that diversity is positively influenced by a high number of islands in the surroundings. A changed distribution and occurrence of marine species, due to climate change or eutrophication, can also affect terrestrial organisms on the shore. In the Baltic Sea the new conditions following climate change will decrease the prevalence of bladder-wrack and benefit filamentous algae. Algal deposits on shores reflect the marine species composition and a decreased prevalence of bladder-wrack in the Baltic Sea will also be visible on the shores. This thesis shows that a lower proportion of bladder-wrack in the algal deposits will decrease the diversity and abundance of arthropods in these deposits. Changes in the marine environment may also affect the inflow of insects with aquatic life stages and terrestrial adult stages. On Baltic shores, prey species with aquatic life stages, especially chironomids, constitute a large proportion of the diet of the terrestrial predatory group, wolf spiders. In freshwater system, the inflow of chironomids is known to decrease with elevated water temperatures if this is true in the Baltic Sea prey availability of wolf spiders would decrease. This thesis supports the importance of chironomids as a prey for coastal wolf spiders, but also shows that the diet varies over season with dominance of terrestrial prey in early summer shifting to a dominance of marine prey in late summer and autumn. This seasonal variation is primarily due to a gradual increase in the consumption of chironomids over season. Climate change has the potential to alter the biogeographical conditions in coastal landscapes as well as the density and quality of marine nutrient inflow. Sea level rise will diminish and flood islands and this thesis shows that a moderate sea level rise of 0.5 meters would make the total number of islands in the outer part of Stockholm archipelago decrease with about 25 %. Sea level rise could thus have consequences for arthropod diversity in Baltic shore meadows in the near future. The combined effects of sea level rise and changed prevalence of marine species in the Baltic Sea will affect the abundance and diversity of arthropods substantially. The abundance and diversity of spiders and beetles will decrease on shores that today have a high occurrence of bladder-wrack and prey availability for coastal predators might decrease due to a decreased inflow of chironomids. Changes in the arthropod communities could have consequences also further up in the food chain, such as for shore birds feeding on these arthropods.

Abstract:

The area of secondarily salinized lands is increasing at a faster rate over time. Many irrigation districts around the world are shrinking as a result of secondarily salinized soils. This is resulting in crop yield losses. Irrigation practices with low drainage are intensifying this problem. Bioremediation of salinized soils with halophytes is one of the means of reversing this process. In these studies, we tested the growth and performance of four salt tolerant halophytes to varying levels of salinity. We analyzed the salt content of the plant tissues at different salinities, in order to determine how the plants' tissues reflect the increases in salinity. It was discovered that Allenrolfea occidentalis tolerates and grows well at higher salinities than the other plants tested. Furthermore, the concentration of salt in the aerial plant tissue was high and increased further in response to the external salt concentration. Halophytes such as A. occidentalis can be used to remediate abandoned salt affected lands and their biomass can have an added economic value. On the other hand, domestication of wild halophytes for agronomic purposes represents another opportunity to address the increasingly salinized soils and shortages of freshwater around the world. In these studies, we assessed the potential for improvement of an oilseed halophyte, Salicornia bigelovii, through selective breeding. We compared plant characteristics of S. bigelovii cultivars produced in breeding programs with wild germplasm in a green house common garden experiment. We concluded that S. bigelovii has sufficient genetic diversity among wild accessions and cultivars to support a crop improvement program to introduce desirable agronomic characteristics into this wild halophyte.
