Effect of Sampling Time on Camera Trap Results
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
A study of the effect of afternoon Hebrew school on the achievement of 125 public school pupils.
In the beginning of our culture there was no separation of religious from other social functions. Tribal consciousness included tribal religion. Thus, religious ceremonies of early peoples were at the same time economic and political in character
Copyright and the First Amendment: After the Wind Done Gone
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 )

Educational software that requires no training to use
The goal of this project is to create a piece of educational software that most anyone can use without prior instruction. The intended audience is secondary level students and up. The content of the software is in the form of a data bank on vertebrates and invertebrates of the Caribbean ocean
The combinatorics of interval-vector polytopes
An \emph{interval vector} is a -vector in 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 . 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
