‘Cedar Creek’ (Reg. no. CV-290, PI 700113) switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) was selected for increased winter survivorship three cycles, using surviving plants from ‘Kanlow’. The first two cycles were conducted at multiple locations in Wisconsin, and the third cycle Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve, East Bethel, MN. All seed production increases by either Illinois State University or of I...

This work examines how automatic generation of general domain knowledge from text can contribute to the knowledge intensive Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) system, Creek. This will be done by combining Creek with the ontology extraction tool CORPORUM to improve Creek’s ability to retrieve text. The ontology extraction tool is part of an architectural framework that is described. The framework descri...

A geologic map is a fundamental scientific tool that shows the distribution of geologic material. This study used data gathered at Seven Mile Creek Park to make a geologic map. This data examines the relationships between ravine cutting, terrace development, and base level in a tributary to the Minnesota River, known as Seven Mile Creek. Within the Park there is an extensive network of ravines ...

INTRODUCTION The Frank Street catchment is an urbanised area on the Gold Coast located between Loders Creek and Biggera Creek, and drains directly to the Southport Broadwater. It has long been recognised that the capacity of drainage systems in the Frank Street area is minimal, primarily due to the aging drainage infrastructure. Most of the drainage systems were constructed prior to 1987 (when ...

To study the distribution of molluscs in the Riacho Fundo Creek (cerrado region of central Brazil), five creek sites were sampled once every two months for one year. Molluscs were sampled using standardized kick-net sampling. Four species of molluscs were found: Physella cubensis, Melanoides tuberculata, Biomphalaria straminea and Pisidium sp. The most abundant were P. cubensis and Pisidium sp....

Fish stocking (artificial supplementation) has been used to augment populations and angling opportunities. However, genetic composition and adaptations of native fish populations may be affected, raising management concerns. From 1995 to 2000, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation stocked Walleye Sander vitreus fry and fingerlings from the Maumee River (western Lake Erie) ...
