Ecological Benefits of Watershed-scale Restoration in Two Intensively Mined Cold- and Warm-water Ecosystems

Stream restoration projects are increasingly common. However, restoration projects that establish measurable goals, have pre- and post-restoration monitoring, and are implemented at the watershed scale are rare. We conducted a long-term (9-year) before-after-control-impact designed assessment of two watershed-scale acid mine drainage (AMD) remediation programs, one in a warm-water ecosystem and one in a cold-water ecosystem in West Virginia, USA. Restoration was strategically designed to recover biodiversity and improve the native fisheries by restoring chemically degraded water quality and re-establishing riverscape connectivity. We used analysis of variance to quantify responses in water chemistry, benthic macroinvertebrate communities, and fish community composition before and after restoration within and among treated and un-treated sites. Assessments within the warm- and cold-water watersheds show significant improvements post-restoration in water quality and macroinvertebrate communities in both watersheds. However, differences in fish community responses indicate that regionally degraded conditions may play a role in the ability of fish communities to recover in restored systems. Fish diversity increased to reference conditions in both watersheds but functional fisheries are not recovering. In the warm-water system, the reference sites do not meet the regional drainage area to species richness relationship whereas the cold-water system has intact reference populations within the watershed. This suggests that successful fishery restoration in degraded watersheds depends on the presence of a regional species pool available to repopulate the targeted watershed. Furthermore, long-term changes in fish communities in the cold-water system indicate that fish populations may have a delayed response to restoration projects. Treated sites within the cold-water watershed had significant improvements in water chemistry and macroinvertebrates from 2008 (i.e., pre-restoration) to 2013 and remained unchanged from 2013 to 2017. However, fish diversity and brook trout populations in treated streams increased significantly from 2008 to 2013 and continued to increase in 2017. The continued increase in brook trout populations over time suggests that restoration was successful in reestablishing connectivity among restored and previously intact brook trout sub-populations. Consequently, the full benefit of restoration may not yet be realized as fish populations continue to expand

The specific question presented in this case is what effect a notice of rescission has on NRS 106.240’s ten-year time frame when it is recorded after a notice of default. A notice of rescission rescinds a previous notice of default. The notice of rescission effectively cancelled the acceleration triggered by the notice of default such that the ten-year time period is reset

The Language and Pragmatics of Sexual Harassment

This paper presents the issue of sexual harassment. The authors discuss the piloting of a discourse completion task (DCT) and survey based on how Japanese and native-English speaking women evaluated and responded to statements that pertain to sexual harassment. The results from the pilot will be used as a means of discussion and for forming research questions for the larger study.本発表では、セクシュアル・ハラスメントの問題を扱う。発表者は、日本人女性と英語のネイティヴ・スピーカーの女性がセクシュアル・ハラスメントについての言明をどのように評価しまたどう反応するか、に基づく談話完成課題とその調査に関する予備知識と試行結果を議論する。この試行結果は、議論の方法として、またより大きな研究の調査問題を作成するために用いられる。The Japan Association for Language Teaching 2006: Community, Identity, Motivation (JALT2006), Nov. 2-5, 2006, Kitakyushu International Conference Center, Kokura, Japa

Perceptions of mental health services for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom military personnel: A needs assessment

The purpose of this study was to assess the perceptions of mental health services for OIF/OEF military personnel among military spouses and mental health practitioners. The professional and personal knowledge of the mental health practitioners and the military spouses provided valuable information about the effectiveness, availability, strengths, and weaknesses of the military\u27s mental health services

Sensitivity of Magnetospheric Multi-Scale (MMS) Mission Navigation Accuracy to Major Error Sources

The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission consists of four satellites flying in formation in highly elliptical orbits about the Earth, with a primary objective of studying magnetic reconnection. The baseline navigation concept is independent estimation of each spacecraft state using GPS pseudorange measurements referenced to an Ultra Stable Oscillator (USO) with accelerometer measurements included during maneuvers. MMS state estimation is performed onboard each spacecraft using the Goddard Enhanced Onboard Navigation System (GEONS), which is embedded in the Navigator GPS receiver. This paper describes the sensitivity of MMS navigation performance to two major error sources: USO clock errors and thrust acceleration knowledge errors

Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS) Phase 2B Navigation Performance

The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) formation flying mission, which consists of four spacecraft flying in a tetrahedral formation, has challenging navigation requirements associated with determining and maintaining the relative separations required to meet the science requirements. The baseline navigation concept for MMS is for each spacecraft to independently estimate its position, velocity and clock states using GPS pseudorange data provided by the Goddard Space Flight Center-developed Navigator receiver and maneuver acceleration measurements provided by the spacecraft's attitude control subsystem. State estimation is performed onboard in real-time using the Goddard Enhanced Onboard Navigation System flight software, which is embedded in the Navigator receiver. The current concept of operations for formation maintenance consists of a sequence of two maintenance maneuvers that is performed every 2 weeks. Phase 2b of the MMS mission, in which the spacecraft are in 1.2 x 25 Earth radii orbits with nominal separations at apogee ranging from 30 km to 400 km, has the most challenging navigation requirements because, during this phase, GPS signal acquisition is restricted to less than one day of the 2.8-day orbit. This paper summarizes the results from high-fidelity simulations to determine if the MMS navigation requirements can be met between and immediately following the maintenance maneuver sequence in Phase 2b
