Project II : Ecological Modeling

where αu models the birth of the prey, βuv models death of the prey by being captured by predators, ρβuv models the rate of birth of the predators (which depends on how many prey are captured), and γv models the death of the predators. The basic model exhibits solutions which have periodic oscillating predator and prey populations. There is one non-trivial steady-state which is a center which i...

The interactive auditory demonstrations project

Topics in speech and hearing are well-suited to demonstrations using media other than the printed word. Currently, educators rely largely on passive formats such as the CD collections for general auditory psychophysics [6], auditory scene analysis [2] and cochlear damage [10]. Progress in programming tools and cheap, multimedia hardware now presents the potential to go much further. The interac...

Ecological Effectiveness: Conservation Goals for Interactive Species

The rarity or absence of highly interactive species leaves a functional void that can trigger linked changes leading to degraded or simplified ecosystems. A preliminary analysis indicates a relatively high frequency of such interactive species among endangered mammals. Rapid environmental change is likely to increase the interactivity of some species and reduce that of others over relatively sh...
