Domestic Dogs in Rural Communities around Protected Areas: Conservation Problem or Conflict Solution?

Although domestic dogs play many important roles in rural households, they can also be an important threat to the conservation of wild vertebrates due to predation, competition and transmission of infectious diseases. An increasing number of studies have addressed the impact of dogs on wildlife but have tended to ignore the motivations and attitudes of the humans who keep these dogs and how the...

A Digital Control Laboratory Built around Texas Instruments’ C3x DSK Evaluation Board

This paper will give an overview of the digital control laboratory developed at the University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign. First the laboratory equipment used in the experiments will be discussed. Specifically, the TI DSP system that was developed around the C3x DSK will be detailed. The DSP system uses the C3x DSK as a motherboard and in-house built daughter cards are used to give the system...

Biocatalytic route to well-defined macromers built around a sugar core.

By using 4-C-hydroxymethyl-alpha-D-pentofuranose as the sugar core and lipase-catalyzed transformations, a macromer was constructed with exceptional control of substituent placement around the carbohydrate core. The key synthetic transformations performed were as follows: (1) selective lipase-catalyzed acrylation along with prochiral selection of 4-C-hydroxymethyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-p...

Senior safety zones: community built environment factors around senior wellness centers.

In the January 2009 special issue of the Journal of Public Health Policy on built environment and public health, the authors have elucidated the importance of public health research to inform policy actions to preserve and improve the health of communities through collaborative, cost-effective built environment interventions. We recently studied possible policy interventions to enhance the safe...
