Oral history interview with Art Bieri
No full textArt Bieri was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey, where he learned to swim in the Atlantic Ocean. He carried his love for athletics into the military service in Korea, where he organized recreation and entertainment for the troops. After being rotated back to the Air Force base in Altus, Oklahoma, he met his future wife Alvena Brillhart, who later taught in the English department at Oklahoma State University. Both attended Oklahoma A&M College, and Bieri used his GI benefits to complete a master's degree in physical education, studying under A. B. Harrison and Valerie Colvin. He first worked as a teacher and physical education director in Stillwater, making the schools' programs among the most innovative in the state. Bieri was employed with the Stillwater Public Schools for 28 years, 1959 to 1986

Fruit tree ecosystem service provision and enhancement.
No full textThe paper deals with the qualitative valuation of services provided by fruit tree ecosystems in an ecological engineering context. Thereby, the state and spatial occurrence of various fruit tree species and varieties are assessed, the services that they confer to people are evaluated, and recommendations are made on strategies aiming at enhancing their services. In the community of Vaduz, principality of Liechtenstein, the position of 1445 fruit trees including 77 small apple plantations with modern varieties has been recorded. Experts identified 200 apple and 59 pear varieties, and assigned the fruits to one of three quality and rareness categories. The diversity of apple is higher than the diversity of pears, and there are indications for a high diversity of the Prunus spp. The current 720 patches on agricultural land are composed of 361 trees, some small apple plantations, and 359 hedgerow point measurements; display 258 840 connections and yield connectivity indices for dispersal coefficients of little mobile birds and butterflies, respectively. Four strategies to place 75 additional trees for connectivity enhancement have been evaluated. They all lead to higher overall connectivity relative to the current connectivity, but the establishment of an orchard provides the highest gain in relative connectivity. The second best result is obtained by randomly placing the trees into open agricultural land. The strategy of planting the trees for shade provision along roads and paths yields a result similar to a strategy with placement of trees on transects through open agricultural land. The strategy of planting trees along paths and roads is preferred since interference with agricultural activities is smallest. In a metapopulation context, the connectivity for representative taxa should be seen as a necessary but insufficient parameter for species conservation purposes in particular and biodiversity augmentation in general
Transferências e apropriações de saberes: Friedrich Bieri e a matemática para o ensino primário - Knowledge transferences and appropriations: Friedrich Bieri and the mathematic to the primary school
No full textA partir da análise da obra de Friedrich Bieri (1844-1924), um suíço que emigrou para o Brasil no século 19, identificamos apropriações de saberes produzidos em países de língua alemã no ensino brasileiro. A investigação traz um perfil deste personagem, assim como relata o processo de transferência de conhecimentos ocorrido e seu papel no contexto da província do Rio Grande do Sul. A análise da obra de Bieri permitiu concluir que o autor, além de ter sido um dos pioneiros na produção de livros didáticos para escolas teuto-brasileiras, adotou uma proposta pedagógica germânica adaptada ao contexto local e influenciada pelo método de Grube e da reformulação deste por Egger.

No full textThe Sigma invariants of Thompson's group F
No full textConselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Thompson's group F is the group of all increasing dyadic PL homeomorphisms of the closed unit interval. We compute Sigma(m)(F) and Sigma(m)(F;Z), the homotopical and homological Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz invariants of F, and show that Sigma(m)(F) = Sigma(m)(F;Z). As an application, we show that, for every m, F has subgroups of type F(m-1) which are not of type FP(m) (thus certainly not of type F(m)).42263273Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq
Impacts of large-scale soil moisture anomalies on regional hydroclimate in southeastern South America
No full textAdvancing our understanding of the hydroclimate of southeastern South America (SESA) is imperative for a number of reasons. Within SESA is the La Plata River basin (LPRB), the second-largest river basin in South America. The LPRB includes a diverse array of ecosystems. The region is also significant for agricultural interests, and a majority of the economic output of five South American nations originates in the LPRB. Many studies of soil moisture-atmosphere coupling focus on local processes. This study adopts an emphasis on large-scale soil moisture anomalies within the LPRB and investigates the effects of these anomalies on regional-scale atmospheric conditions. Multivariate empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis is performed using two-meter temperature, root-zone soil moisture, and precipitation data sourced from atmospheric reanalysis products for multiple decades. EOF analysis allows us to jointly extract the dominant modes of variability for these three variables. We find that the dominant EOF pattern is consistent with a positive relation between soil moisture and precipitation, while the second EOF pattern is consistent with a negative relation between these two variables. The effects of amplified soil moisture anomalies are tested using CESM simulations in which soil moisture is decreased within a region in SESA. The CESM simulations suggest that dry soil moisture is initially co-located with decreased precipitation, then changes in atmospheric circulation associated with a thermal low draw moisture into the region and lead to increased precipitation. This study can add to current knowledge of land-atmosphere interactions in SESA. Additionally, its outcomes may be applied to advances in atmospheric prediction.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-12-01The student, Carolina Bieri, accepted the attached license on 2019-12-06 at 16:24.The student, Carolina Bieri, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-12-06 at 16:46.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-12-09 at 09:29.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14748 on 2020-02-28 at 17:23:53Made available in DSpace on 2020-03-02T22:15:15Z (GMT).
