Data and R Code for Analyses in "Grassland birds demonstrate delayed response to large-scale tree removal in central North America"
No full textThe csv file documents the species observed at various point count stations in 14 Waterfowl Production Area sites. Measurements about the surrounding vegetation were included. Each of the 18493 rows is a record for a particular SPECIES observed at specified time and location. The R code file runs on R and imports the CSV file. The R code was written in R version 3.1.2.These files contain R code and data required for analsyes detailed within "Grassland birds demonstrate delayed response to large-scale tree removal in central North America" in the Journal of Applied Ecology. The lead author wrote this code to analyze multi-year point count data collected in west-central Minnesota. The purpose of the study was to assess the success of habitat restoration activities aimed at removal of encroaching trees and shrubs.The United States Fish and Wildlife ServiceThompson, Sarah, J.

Some embeddings between symmetric R. Thompson groups
No full textFunding: The first author wants to acknowledge financial support from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, through the “Severo Ochoa Program for Centres of Excellence in R&D” (SEV-2015-0554). The second author wishes to acknowledge support from EPSRC grant EP/R032866/1 during the creation of this paper.Let m ≤ n ∈ ℕ, and G ≤ Sym(m) and H ≤ Sym(n). In this article we find conditions enabling embeddings between the symmetric R. Thompson groups Vm(G) and Vn(H). When n ≡1 mod (m −1), and under some other technical conditions, we find an embedding of Vn(H) into Vm(G) via topological conjugation. With the same modular condition we also generalise a purely algebraic construction of Birget from 2019 to find a group H ≤ Sym(n) and an embedding of Vm(G) into Vn(H).Peer reviewe
Fred Luthans—The Anatomy of a 50-Year Academic Career: An Interview by Kenneth R. Thompson
No full textAs the recipient of the 2014 Midwest Academy of Management Distinguished Scholar Award, Professor Fred Luthans’s interview by Senior Editor Ken Thompson is included in this Midwest Academy’s annual special issue of JLOS.
Fred Luthans received his BA, MBA, and PhD from the University of Iowa. He is a University and George Holmes Distinguished Professor of Management at the University of Nebraska. Before coming to Nebraska in 1967, while serving as an officer in the U.S. Army, he taught psychology and leadership at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He is a former President of the Midwest and National Academy of Management. He was or is editor or co-editor of Journal of World Business, Organizational Dynamics, and Journal of Leadership & Organization Studies. He is the author of several well-known books and over 200 articles. In total, his work is approaching 30,000 citations and his current H-Index is 76. His research at first focused on a behavioral approach to management or what he formulated and called O.B. Mod. (organizational behavior modification). In recent years, he has given relatively more attention to the theory building, measurement, and impact of what he founded and has termed “positive organizational behavior (POB)” and “psychological capital (PsyCap).” For further information, see his entry in Wikipedia, some interviews on YouTube, or his profile in Google Scholar

No full textThe echinoid fauna of the British Jurassic is one of the best-known faunas of that age globally, thanks to over one hundred and fifty years of work. Smith has provided, in his typical style, an excellent and much needed modern systematic treatment for the regular echinoids of the British Jurassic (the irregular echinoids were described by Barras, 2006). Given the quality of the systematic treatment given by the author, and that many of the specimens studied in the monograph are of particular importance for early post-Palaeozoic echinoid evolution, this monograph is not just recommended, but necessary, for all students of echinoid palaeontology and evolution.This is the first of two parts. Part one includes an introduction and stratigraphical framework and describes echinoids of the clades Cidaroida, Echinothurioida, Aspidodiadematoida and Pedinoida. This is a systematic work and as such will likely be of little interest to those not interested in fossil echinoids or the British Jurassic. However, to echinodermologists of the world, and fossil collectors and enthusiasts in the UK, this monograph provides an excellent reference and is now the gold standard for Jurassic echinoid research. This contribution is of particular importance to echinoid systematists, as it, much to the pleasure of this author, has set about re-describing and revising some of our most important Early Mesozoic echinoid taxa. The volume gives a thorough treatment of the British Jurassic Miocidaridae, a clade which survived through the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, and is in much need of systematic revision. Furthermore, the monograph has revised Diademopsis serialis, one of the oldest known euechinoid echinoids in the fossil record, and describes several echinothurioid echinoids, which in the modern oceans predominantly inhabit the deep sea, but were apparently found in shallower waters during the Jurassic. Having already made this book a ‘go-to’ in my own research, I expect that this volume will remain a mainstay of echinoid palaeontologists for many years to come.The descriptions and diagnoses of the taxa are top notch. The photography is beautiful, and nicely details many of the important specimens housed at the Natural History Museum, London, and elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Many specimens are photographed at multiple angles and varying magnifications, making them particularly useful for detailed morphological studies such as phylogenetic analyses. Smith does a fine job of making note of where important specimens are housed, such that they will be easy for future workers to track down. It is of historical note that many of the specimens described and figured in this monograph were also featured in Wright (1857–1880).As with all echinoderm monographs published as of late by the Palaeontographical Society, Smith's British Jurassic Regular Echinoids is of the very highest calibre. I strongly urge all echinoid palaeontologists to pick up a copy, as it is now a necessary and well-produced resource for Jurassic echinoid systematics

Gender and body image

R. Bruce Thompson: Making a difference to safety and the NDE community

Donald O. Thompson: A remembrance
No full textThis paper was developed from the remarks delivered to honor Don Thompson by the banquet speakers at the 40th QNDE meeting, July 2013. Don died peacefully at his home just days later on July 29th after a two year battle with cancer. “Don was a tenacious fighter for what he believed in, and his vision and perseverance did much to establish NDE in both the US and wider global R&D community. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and colleagues in the NDE community”.This proceeding may be downloaded for personal use only.
