Ground squirrel damage and control in Montana
The Columbian ground squirrel (Spermophilus columbianus), Richardson ground squirrel (Spermophilus richardsoni), and blacktail prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) cause millions of dollars of loss to Montana agriculture each year. Montana's ground squirrel and prairie dog control programs are based upon local organization and operation with technical assistance being provided by the Montana Department of Livestock Vertebrate Pest Control Bureau. The results of field research programs using zinc phosphide, Compound 1080 and strychnine grain baits to control these species are reported
SDL: A Surface Description Language
A new interpreted language specifically designed for surface grid generation is introduced. Many unique aspects of the language are discussed, including the farray, vector, curve, and surface data types and the operators used to manipulate them. Custom subroutine libraries written in the language are used to easily build surface grids for generic missile shapes
Amending the Wagner Act: The Problem From the Manufacturerâs Viewpoint
Till följd av den globala finanskrisen Är 2008 stÀlldes det europeiska samarbetet pÄ prov. I och med detta presenterade EU ett förslag till ett direktiv angÄende en finansiell transaktionsskatt för samtliga lÀnder inom EU. Elva av EU:s 28 medlemslÀnder har valt att stÀlla sig bakom förslaget om en finansiell transaktionsskatt, vilket innebÀr att dessa lÀnder avser införa en finansiell transaktionsskatt. Tidigare empiriska erfarenheter har dock visat att en finansiell transaktionsskatt Àr mindre effektiv Àn vad föresprÄkarna gör gÀllande, varken pÄverkan pÄ skatteintÀkter eller marknadens volatilitet har i dessa fall levt upp till de önskvÀrda effekterna. Denna uppsats syfte Àr att analysera vad som ligger till grund för lÀndernas stÀllningstagande och uppsatsens hypotes ger vid handen att det föreligger ett positivt samband mellan finanskrisens pÄverkan pÄ respektive EU land, inhemsk opinion och ett positivt stÀllningstagande till en finansiell transaktionsskatt inom EU. För att testa hypotesen anvÀnds en induktiv metod vilken Àr uppbyggd pÄ vetenskapliga artiklar och ekonomisk litteratur. Vidare genomförs flera regressionsanalyser i syfte att pÄvisa de positiva samband som hypotesen antar föreligger. I de uppvisade resultaten framgÄr att det gÄr att stödja uppsatsens hypotes. Uppsatsen kommer dÀrför fram till att det föreligger ett positivt samband mellan finanskrisens pÄverkan pÄ respektive EU-land, inhemsk opinion och ett positivt stÀllningstagande till en finansiell transaktionsskatt.In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis the European Union was put to the test. As a result, the EU submitted a proposal for a directive regarding a financial transactions tax levied throughout every nation in the European Union. Eleven of the 28 EU member states decided to support the proposal for a financial transactions tax. The eleven member states adopted the stance to support the proposal in spite of the historical empirical evidence indicating a financial transactions tax to not be as effective as the advocators claim. This paper aims to analyse the basis of the EU member states adopted stance towards a financial transactions tax. The thesis statement suggest that there is a positive correlation between the impact of the financial crisis on each respective EU country, domestic public opinion and a positive stance towards a financial transactions tax in the EU. To test the thesis statement an inductive method, based on academic articles and economic literature, is applied. Furthermore a regression analysis is used to prove the appearance of the expected positive relationships in the thesis statement. The results of the paper indicate the thesis statement to be probable. Therefore, this paper concludes that there is a positive relationship between the impact of the financial crisis in the EU states, domestic opinion and a positive stance to a financial transactions tax
Real-time dynamic holographic image storage device
A real-time dynamic holographic image storage device uses four-wave mixing in a pair of photorefractive crystals. An oscillation is produced between the crystals which can be maintained indefinitely after the initial object beam is discontinued. The object beam produces an interference pattern in a first crystal to produce phase-conjugated object beam which is directed towards the second crystal. In the second crystal another interference pattern is created which produces a reconstructed object beam. The reconstructed object beam is directed back towards the first crystal. The interference patterns are produced by interaction of the object and phase-conjugated object beam with a read and write beam in each of the crystals. By manipulation of the ratio of the read and write beam intensities in at least one of the crystals, the phase-conjugate or reconstructed object beam output therefrom can be amplified to maintain stable oscillation between the two crystals
