Redefining Sources as Social Acts: Genre Theory in Information Literacy Instruction

While the concept of the rhetorical situation is regularly used in composition instruction, its value to information literacy instruction has rarely been addressed. As defined by Bitzer, the rhetorical situation consists of three interrelated elements: an exigence, an audience and a set of constraints. The exigence is the problem, described as ―an imperfection marked by urgency; it is a defect,...

Site fidelity of the declining amphibian Rana sierrae (Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frog)

From 1997 to 2006, we used mark–recapture models to estimate the site fidelity of 1250 Sierra Nevada yellowlegged frogs (Rana sierrae) in Kings Canyon National Park, California, USA, during their three main activity periods of overwintering, breeding, and feeding. To quantify site fidelity, the tendency to return to and reuse previously occupied habitats, we used multistrata models (with water ...

Robust multi-target sensing/tracking in the Bayesian Occupancy Filter framework

We present the “Bayesian Occupancy Filter” (BOF) and the “Fast ClusteringTracking” algorithms as a framework for robust sensing and multi-target tracking using multiple sensors. Perceiving of the surrounding physical environment reliably is a major demanding in smart systems requiring a high level of safety such as car driving assistant, autonomous robots, and surveillance. The dynamic environm...

Weak decay of hypernuclei – Theoretical status

The physics of the weak decay of hypernuclei is briefly reviewed from a theoretical point of view. Special regard is devoted to the recent progress concerning the determination of the non–mesonic decay widths and the asymmetry parameters. While convincing evidence has been achieved for a solution of the long–standing puzzle on the ratio Γn/Γp, the discrepancies between theory and experiment on ...
