On Romney Marsh

Anthropology : Romney

Culture consists of shared cognitive representations in the minds of individuals. This paper investigates the extent to which English speakers share the "same" semantic structure of English kinship terms. The semantic structure is defined as the arrangement of the terms relative to each other as represented in a metric space in which itemsjudged more similar are placed closer to each other than...

Lifetime Reproductive Performance of Booroola Merino X Romney Ewes of Differing Genotype for the Booroola Fecundity Gene and Romney Ewes

First cross Booroola Merino x Romney (B x R) ewes born in 1975, 1976, 1978 and 1979 were classified as being heterozygous (F+) or non carriers (++) for the Booroola fecundity gene. Their performance as hoggets (< 1 year of age) I and to six years of age (1975 and 1976 bornonly) was compared with contemporary Romney (R) ewes. As hoggets, the F+ ewes had ovulation rates about 0.5 higher than ++ B...

Effects of Marsh Grass on Diffusivity

The hydrodynamic processes associated with flow through vegetation have many implications for both natural and constructed wetlands. This study examined the effect of marsh grass on mixing rates. A flow visualization study was performed, using a laser light sheet and a video camera to obtain images of a plume of fluorescent dye. The study was performed in a laboratory flume, using wooden dowels...

Comparison of aerated marsh-pond-marsh and continuous marsh constructed wetlands for treating swine wastewater.

Increased swine production in North Carolina has resulted in greater waste generation and is demanding some emerging new innovative technologies to effectively treat swine wastewater. One of the cost-effective and passive methods to treat swine wastewater is using constructed wetlands. The objective of this study was to evaluate the N removal under two N loads in 3 different wetland systems: ae...
