The conservation value of hedgerows to small mammals on Prince Edward Island
No full textHedgerows are an important landscape feature on Prince Edward Island, Canada and are often the only forested links between isolated forest fragments. Although recent studies have examined the effects of fragmentation on small mammals on Prince Edward Island (e.g., Silva et al. 2000, Silva 2001), none have addressed the use of hedgerows by small mammals. A total of 13 hedgerows and 12 forest fragments in three sites located in central Prince Edward Island were studied from May to September 2001. Hedgerows varied in length, between 70 m and 720 m, and width between 9.4 m and 31 m. Fragment area varied from 0.006 km2 to 0.560 km2. Large Sherman live traps were placed in the center of hedgerow vegetation at 10 m intervals throughout the length of the hedgerow, while a grid configuration was used in forest fragments with the maximum area sampled being 6400 m 2. Within each study site, hedgerows and forest fragments were sampled simultaneously.

The transition of students with disabilities from high school to post secondary activities: A Prince Edward Island perspective
No full textThis qualitative study explored the transition process for students with disabilities in Prince Edward Island, Canada when they transitioned from high school to post secondary activities. Information was obtained from 2 questionnaires. One questionnaire was submitted to each of the 12 high schools in Prince Edward Island. A second questionnaire was submitted to Disability Support Workers in the provincial Department of Social Services and Seniors. A third data collection was obtained from a focus group interview of parents of students with disabilities who had transitioned from high school. Although there are elements and pockets of some form of transitional planning occurring in educational and social services jurisdictions across Prince Edward Island, it is apparent from the research findings that it is not consistent. In fact, there is an absence of neither a common process nor a common practice when transitional plans are developed for students with disabilities.Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 46-03, page: 1229

The Household knights of Edward I.
No full textThe royal household lay at the heart of the king's army in the late thirteenth century. The military importance of the knights attached to Edward's household has been examined by M.0 Prestwich. Although Prestwich acknowledged that the knights did serve in other areas of royal government no systematic study of their role has been attempted.
Based on an examination of the surviving wardrobe accounts and other documents the role of the household knights in many areas of royal government in England and Edward's other dominions has been assessed. The part they played in newly or partially conquered territories of Wales and Scotland has also been considered. The knights attached to Edward's familia were employed as sheriffs, justices, constables of castles and diplomats and councillors. However the proportion of knights who served in these areas remained small. The knights were appointed With any regularity only to posts which demanded a combination of military and administrative skills. A large number held royal offices in Scotland and Wales. However, there were a small number of knights hose skills as diplomats and councillors were clearly of more importance to the king than military prowess. This inner circle of knights were probably the forerunners of the chamber knights of the fourteenth century.
The rewards received by the knights in return for their services have also been considered in great detail. The knights were rewarded in accordance with their status and length of service within the household. The major grants of lands, wardships and offices went to a fairly small group of men. The others received more minor gifts of grants of timber and animals. Edward was not a king who was renowned for his generosity. However, the loyalty of the knights to their master suggests that the rewards they received were adequate
Artists' earnings and copyright: a review of British and German music industry data in the context of digital technologies
No full textDigital technologies are often said (1) to enable a qualitatively new engagement with already
existing cultural materials (for example through sampling and adaptation), and (2) to offer a
new disintermediated distribution channel to the creator. From a review of secondary data on
music artists’ earnings and seven in-depth interviews, it appears that both ambitions have
remained, until now, largely unfulfilled. The paper discusses to what extent the structure of
copyright law is to blame, and sets out a research agenda
Characteristics of the visiting friends and relatives markets in Prince Edward Island: a longitudinal approach
No full textThis study attempts to better understand the VFR market in Prince Edward Island,
Canada by using data set drawn from Tourist Exit Survey during the period from 2000 to 2004.
The study provided an exploratory examination of trip characteristic variables between VFR and
pleasure travellers and identified some significant differences between the two trip purpose
groups. It also identified that the VFR markets are important and valuable for Prince Edward
Island. The results imply that tourism marketers need to address the unique differences of the
VFR markets in keeping with their trip patterns and characteristics.Source type: Electronic(1)http://www.trc.upei.ca/files/TTRA_2007_PEI_VFR_Market_Presentation.pd
Biometrical and economical relationships between growth rate and feed consumption of steers
No full textData from the Gulf Coast Beef Cattle Pasture Research Station, Angleton, Texas and records collected by the author at the Beef Cattle facilities, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas were included in this study. Preweaning and postweaning weights, sire and dam weights and feed consumption observations were taken on 59 steer calves of five different breed groups, namely; Hereford, Brahman, 3/4 Brahman-1/4 Hereford, 3/4 Hereford-1/4 Brahman and 1/2 Santa Gertrudis-1/4 Angus-1/8 Brahman-1/8 Hereford. Primary objectives of this study were to evaluate a method to estimate individual feed intake of group fed steers, to compute weight-age relationships and to estimate optimal slaughter weight from weight gain-feed intake and TDN/steer price relationships. A feeding arrangement similar to a balanced incomplete block design was introduced as a possible method to estimate individual feed consumption of group fed steers. ..
