15 Years of Essay-Blogs About Contemporary Art & Digital Photography: In-Depth Articles from 1997-2012 by Rick Doble
No full text<p>These articles explore the artistic potential of digital photography from the earliest days to today. Illustrated with more than 150 photographs, Doble talks about digital photography from a number of perspectives including the influence of modern art, the relation to science, the evolving technology, and the history of the camera. One of these essays written in 1999, about the expressive potential of digital photography, was recently translated into Italian for the prestigious cultorweb.com site and called prophetic by that website. Rick Doble is the author of 3 books on digital photography and was a photography expert for the PIXIQ website which is no longer online. In this ebook he has collected 43 of his short, essay-blogs written during the last 15 years.</p

College Algebra (OpenStax)
No full text1. Prerequisites2. Equations and Inequalities3. Functions4. Linear Functions5. Polynomial and Rational Functions6. Exponential and Logarithmic Functions7. Systems of Equations and Inequalities8. Analytic Geometry9. Sequences, Probability, and Counting TheoryPublished by OpenStax College, College Algebra provides a comprehensive and multi-layered exploration of algebraic principles. The text is suitable for a typical introductory Algebra course, and was developed to be used flexibly. The modular approach and the richness of content ensures that the book meets the needs of a variety of programs. College Algebra guides and supports students with differing levels of preparation and experience with mathematics. Ideas are presented as clearly as possible, and progress to more complex understandings with considerable reinforcement along the way. A wealth of examples - usually several dozen per chapter offer detailed, conceptual explanations, in order to build in students a strong, cumulative foundation in the material before asking them to apply what they've learned."Jay Abramson, lead author, senior content expert; contributing authors, Valeree Falduto, Rachael Gross, David Lippman, Melonie Rasmussen, Rick Norwood, Nicholas Belliot, Jean-Marie Magnier, Harold Whipple, Christina Fernandez."--Page 5
Spatial and temporal migratory connectivity of two sympatrically breeding wood-warblers with geographically discordant population trends
No full textFactors outside the breeding season can affect population trends for migratory species. Yet information on population-specific migration and nonbreeding ecology for most species is lacking, complicating conservation efforts. Louisiana waterthrush Parkesia motacilla and worm-eating warblers Helmitheros vermivorum are Nearctic–Neotropical migratory songbirds that share breeding habitat associations, and occur in sympatry throughout most of their breeding distributions. Yet these species exhibit variable regional population trends on the breeding grounds, suggesting that processes outside of the breeding period may impact population growth. We used light-level geolocators to track Louisiana waterthrush and worm-eating warblers from four sites spanning their breeding distributions (Arkansas, Tennessee, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, USA). We describe the geographic distribution of populations during the nonbreeding period and quantify interspecific variation in the timing of migration to assess the potential for factors outside the breeding period to impact population dynamics. From 2016 to 2020, we marked 153 individuals (85 Louisiana waterthrush and 68 worm-eating warblers) across the four sites, and estimated migration timing, nonbreeding locations, and migratory connectivity for 24 Louisiana waterthrush and 21 worm-eating warblers. We observed moderately strong migratory connectivity (MC) in both species (Louisiana waterthrush MC = 0.40 [0.25 SE], worm-eating warbler MC = 0.44 [0.13 SE]) between breeding and nonbreeding sites, and a high degree of overlap (i.e. > 50%) among most populations' nonbreeding core-use areas. Moreover, populations experienced largely similar environmental conditions (measured by enhanced vegetation index) during the nonbreeding period. On average, Louisiana waterthrush initiated migration ~ 40 days earlier than worm-eating warblers across the annual cycle, and this trend was strongest in southern breeding populations. These findings emphasize the value of leveraging multiple species into full-annual cycle studies to identify when and where factors limiting populations of migratory species may occur. Additionally, we demonstrate that migratory species that co-occur during stationary periods of the annual cycle (i.e. breeding and nonbreeding periods) can experience strong temporal isolation during seasonal migration.This article is published as Kramer, Gunnar R., Silas E.
