Factors Associated with the Highway Mortality of Mule Deer at Jordanelle Reservoir, Utah

Highway mortality of deer (Odocoileus sp.) is a nationwide concern. In 1991, 538,000 deer-vehicle collisions occurred nationwide. Property damage to vehicles, human injuries and fatalities, and potential impacts to local deer populations occur from deer-vehicle collisions. Techniques have been evaluated to reduce highway mortality of deer; however, an effective, cost-efficient solution does not exist for widespread use. If mitigative technologies are to be successful, we need to understand deer behavior and movement patterns associated with highway relationships. Most research about highway deer kills has focused on white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in mixed hardwood habitat types. The following study pertains to mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in a mountain brush and sagebrush-grass zone. The study area was located at the site of the newly constructed Jordanelle Reservoir near Park City, Utah. Area roads were relocated due to inundation of existing highways. Preconstruction road-kill was docwnented to be 0.29 kills/km. Annual road-kill levels of 278 (5.9 kills/km) and 119 (2.5 kills/km) deer occurred along the new roads from October 1991 to October 1993. Even though there was a 64.2% reduction in observed deer density, second year mortality was still 9 times the pre-project kill. A study design of road-kill data collection and repetitive spotlight censuses was used to compare levels and composition of deer road-kills to that of the living population. Deer-vehicle collision levels tracked large population fluctuations. Deer behavior predisposed deer to mortality. Numbers of road-killed deer peaked in the fall of both years, coincident with breeding and hunting periods. Road-kill peaks also occurred in July and April of each year, respectively. Traffic characteristics, road alignment, and vegetative and topographic features were described relative to mule deer kill locations (recorded to the .10 mile). Traffic volume and percent vegetative cover were higher along US40 than either state route; road-kills were correspondingly higher along US40. Roads adjacent to agricultural areas along all routes sustained the fewest highway mortalities of deer. Deer approached roads along drainages; large drainages intersected highways in 79% of designated kill areas. Right-of-way vegetation and slope influenced kill locations

Rivers, ecological health, and justice: international watercourses and long-term legal reform

This dissertation deals with rivers that cross national boundaries and with the international law that applies to them. It takes a critical look at that law, drawing upon normative standards that value justice among all people, without regard for where they live along rivers or for the negotiating strength of their home States, and that also value the long-term ecological health of rivers as aquatic systems. The dissertation pays particular attention to the most vulnerable States of the world on watercourse-related issues; to States that are located downstream, that have relatively weak negotiating powers in comparison with their upstream neighbors, and that face critical development needs. Bangladesh is used as the paradigm example. The dissertation draws upon current law and recent legal experiences to formulate a new vision for the international law of watercourses, a vision that, if implemented, would recognize and protect rivers as complex ecological wholes while promoting social justice among all people dependent on such rivers. In doing so, it puts forth an ambitious vision for long-term cultural as well as legal reform. The vision is offered less as a proposal for current consideration than as a way of clarifying deficiencies in current law and gaining a better sense of the overall direction in which more modest law reforms should head

Rancang Bangun Aplikasi Buku “Dongeng” - Kumpulan Cerita Rakyat Interaktif Berbasis IOS

Kesukaan anak muda pada saat ini terhadap cerita rakyat lokal semakin pudar. Cerita rakyat dari luar negri lebih disukai misalnya saja putri salju atau Cinderella. Lemahnya pamor cerita rakyat lokal ini mungkin dikarenakan publikasi tentang cerita rakyat lokal yang yang kalah dengan cerita yang berasal dari luar negri. Selain dikarenakan cerita luar negri yang lebih digandrungi anak-anak muda saat ini, dikarenakan permainan digital yang perkembangannya yang sangat pesat. Salah satu media permainan yang dianggap menarik banyak anak di dunia ini adalah iPad. Melihat dari permasalahan akan kurangnya minat anak-anak terhadap cerita rakyat lokal dan meningkatnya popularitas iPad sebagai toys of the year versi majalah PCWorld, maka munculah gagasan artikel untuk membuat aplikasi berbasis iPad berjudul “Dongeng” yang merupakan kumpulan cerita rakyat Indonesia interaktif. Interaktif di sini dikarenakan pengguna bisa berinteraksi dengan karakter maupun lingkungan dalam cerita rakyat yang dipilih. Selain itu, interaksi dari pengguna bisa menentukan alur cerita dari cerita itu sendiri. Pengguna akan diajak berpikir dalam menentukan alur cerita agar tidak salah dalam memilih alur ceritanya. Pemilihan alur cerita bisa berdasarkan event berupa mini-game maupun pertanyaan. Aplikasi ini nantinya diharapkan dapat lebih mengenalkan cerita rakyat lokal kepada anak-anak baik dari dalam maupun luar negeri
