AAEEBL Digital Ethics Principles, Version 1
No full textAs outward-facing ePortfolios become more common, students, educators, administrators, and staff need guiding principles to ground their practice. Indeed, members voiced this need during the 2018 AAEEBL Annual Meeting. In response, AAEEBL formed a task force of ePortfolio scholars and practitioners to develop principles, strategies, and resources for general use.PublishedN
Evolution of the Auburn University fisheries program: genius in the Kingdom of Serendip
Get PDFThis book is a history of the Auburn Universities Fisheries Program. It also focuses on two individuals, H. S. Swingle and E. V. Smith, faculty members in the A.P.I. College of Agriculture and the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station, who were important in the founding of the Program.Not publishe
The Hall Electric Field in Earth's Magnetotail Thin Current Sheet
Get PDFOne of the most important properties of Earth's magnetotail thin current sheet (TCS) is that its current is predominantly contributed by magnetized electrons. The Hall electric field, normal to the TCS and generated by charge separation, is critical to the generation of this electron current as well as a dawn-dusk asymmetry of the magnetotail, such as duskside preference of magnetic reconnection and related structures and phenomena. However, systematic investigation of the Hall electric field has so far been lacking. Utilizing observations of TCS by Magnetospheric Multiscale and Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorm spacecraft, we study the properties of this field. Our results, from various, complementary methods, show that the Hall electric field E-z (in the geocentric solar magnetospheric, coordinate system) or E-n (normal to the TCS plane) can be clearly observed to point toward the center of the current sheet. The typical magnitude of this electric field is several tenths of 1 mV/m. Statistics of Magnetospheric Multiscale magnetotail TCS crossings show that the Hall electric field is stronger on the duskside, indicating a stronger Hall effect there, which confirms predictions from global-scale hybrid and particle-in-cell simulations.Publishe

Data for: Thermal tolerance in the urban heat island: Thermal sensitivity varies ontogenetically and differs between embryos of two sympatric ectotherms
No full textMost studies of thermal tolerance use adults, but early-life stages (e.g. embryos) are often more sensitive to thermal agitation. Studies that examine effects on embryos rarely assess the potential for thermal tolerance to change with ontogeny or how effects differ among sympatric species, and often utilize unrealistic temperature treatments. We used thermal fluctuations from nests within the urban-heat island to determine how thermal tolerance of embryos changes across development and differs among two sympatric lizard species (Anolis sagrei and A. cristatellus). We applied fluctuations that varied in frequency and magnitude at different times during development and measured effects on embryo physiology, egg survival, and hatchling morphology, growth, and survival. Thermal tolerance differed between the species by ~ 2 Β°C: embryos of A. sagrei, a lizard that prefers warmer, open-canopy microhabitats, were more robust to thermal stress than embryos of A. cristatellus, which prefers cooler, closed-canopy microhabitats. Moreover, thermal tolerance changed through development; however, the nature of this change differed between the species. For A. cristatellus, thermal tolerance was greatest mid-development. For A. sagrei the relationship was not statistically clear. The greatest effects of thermal stress were on embryo and hatchling survival and embryo physiology. Hatchling morphology and growth were less affected. Inter-specific responses and the timing of stochastic thermal events with respect to development have important effects on egg mortality. Thus, research that integrates ecologically-meaningful thermal treatments, considers multiple life-history stages, and examines interspecific responses will be critical to make robust predictions of the impacts of global change on wildlife.Ye
Intelliturk: Speech Intelligibility Perception Study Platform for Amazon Mechanical Turk
No full textA web application, IntelliTurk, was developed using Microsoft .NET Technologies to investigate the difficulties listeners in the general population might encounter when listening to speakers from different speech disorder populations. The name IntelliTurk reflects the integration between our web application and Amazon Mechanical Turk. A special feature is the Direct Magnitude Estimation (DME) measurement tool provided to rate speech intelligibility that is configurable to capture the rating under three conditions: numerical, linguistic, or a combination of both. The web application has also been designed to be used independently from AMT by sending a participation link directly to a potential listener. The IntelliTurk platform is currently being expanded to facilitate other perceptual listening experiments
