    EFFECT OF SAMPLING TIME ON CAMERA TRAP RESULTS Authors: Joseph M. Beck, John VanNiel Ten weeks of camera trap data from a single location was analyzed for mammal species richness, latency to detection and capture frequency for each species. The camera trap was placed in a wetland area at the FLCC Muller Field Station. Analyses were completed for the entire ten week period as well as sub-sampling for two- and one-week periods in order to compare results and recommend duration of placement for future studies. A total of ten species were captured with raccoon (Procyon lotor), Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus), and North American river otter (Lontra canadensis) being observed most frequently, in that order. The species with the shortest latency to detection was the deer mouse (Peromyscus sp.) which was viewed on the first day. The species with the longest latency to detection was American black bear (Ursus americanus), having been first viewed on the last day of the study

    On March 16, 2001, plaintiff SunTrust Bank filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against defendant Houghton Mifflin Company, alleging copyright and trademark infringement based on defendant\u27s yet-to-be published novel The Wind Done Gone. On March 23, plaintiff filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction barring the book\u27s imminent publication. The district court held a hearing on the motion for a temporary restraining order on March 29,2001, and then set down a second hearing for April 18, 2001. On April 20,2001, the district court filed a fifty-one page order granting plaintiff\u27s motion for a preliminary injunction, and enjoining defendant from further production, display, distribution, advertising, sale, or offer for sale of the book The Wind Done Gone on the grounds that the book infringed the plaintiff\u27s copyrights. An expedited appeal was requested by the defendant and granted by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. Immediately upon the close of argument on May 25, 2001, the 11th Circuit issued an order vacating the injunction on the grounds that it was an unconstitutional prior restraint ( SunTrust One ). On October 10, 2001,the 11th Circuit vacated its order in SunTrust One and issued a more comprehensive opinion extensively addressing copyright and fair use issues ( SunTrust Two )

    The combinatorics of interval-vector polytopes

    Get PDF
    An \emph{interval vector} is a (0,1)(0,1)-vector in Rn\mathbb{R}^n for which all the 1's appear consecutively, and an \emph{interval-vector polytope} is the convex hull of a set of interval vectors in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. We study three particular classes of interval vector polytopes which exhibit interesting geometric-combinatorial structures; e.g., one class has volumes equal to the Catalan numbers, whereas another class has face numbers given by the Pascal 3-triangle.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure
