Early post-natal development was studied in experimental Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus), with respect to caloric levels of Ideal diets. The growth response, in terms of weight, heart-girth, height-at-withers and length of hind foot, showed that instantaneous relative growth rates were decreased by a decrease in caloric consumption. However, the growth pattern remained the same in the two planes of nutrition employed. The assessment of growth showed that weight and heart-girth similarly reflect nutritive condition and are affected to the greatest extent by caloric intake. Height-at-withers also reflected the planes of nutrition but the length of hind foot showed little difference. Thus a method was outlined for evaluating the degree of fleshiness or nutritive condition by employing the actual weight of the deer or the estimated weight from the heart-girth regression formula and the weight estimated from the hind foot. The index of condition was thus found to be one for normal deer, greater than one for above normal deer and less than one for deer in poor nutritive condition. Blood samples were taken from 20 to 465 days of age showing the changes in some blood constituents with increasing age. Additionally, the blood constituents were analysed with respect to the two planes of nutrition. With the exception of blood glucose and fibrinogen, no demonstrable differences between the two planes occurred. However, all the constituents studied, with the exception of plasma globulin, changed with increasing age. The blood picture presented by the data from these deer are thought to represent a normal condition and may thus be used as a standard in evaluating blood levels of wild Columbian black-tailed deer. / Science, Faculty of / Zoology, Department of / Graduate

This thesis provides an analysis of Manteño site abandonment in the cloud forest of Manabí, Ecuador. First, the types, frequency, and distribution of artifacts at site C4-044 were recorded, mapped, and compared to levels of phosphate in the soil to determine activity areas. The obtained evidence allowed me to make general approximations of the site’s pre-abandonment behavior. Then, the archaeological data together with environmental and bioarchaeological information from the region were assessed to propose the mode of departure from site C4-044. Through ethnography and ethnoarchaeology, a recent historical account of abandonment in the cloud forest was obtained as well, providing additional insight regarding adaptive strategies and behavioral choices to changing contextual circumstances. The culmination of this evidence shows a gradual mode of abandonment from site C4-044 in the cloud forest that was planned and executed accordingly. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

O presente trabalho investiga a interpretação do bambuco Florecita del camino do colombiano Jaime Romero (1966) para violão solo, uma vez que foi concebido pelo próprio compositor originalmente para trio típico colombiano, ou seja, para três instrumentos de cordas. O gênero bambuco é o maior representante da música andina colombiana. Para esta pesquisa apresento dados sobre a forma e a estrutura do bambuco e, analisei e comparei a versão original com a de violão solo. Dois artigos escritos pelo próprio compositor, assim como uma entrevista serviram de base para o trabalho. Para auxiliar na interpretação deste bambuco, criei exercícios e micro estudos para confrontar as dificuldades técnicas que encontrei, incluindo digitações, e dificuldades expressivas desta obra. Este material pretende não só ajudar o intérprete ao se deparar com bambucos, como divulgar o gênero da música andina colombiana. / The purpose of this study is to investigate the interpretation of the bambuco Florecita del camino by the Columbian composer Jaime Romero (b. 1966) for solo guitar. It was originally composed for the Columbian trío típico, by the same composer, for three stringed instruments. The bambuco is the most representative of Columbian music of the Andes. Information about the form and structure of the bambuco were presented, as well as an analysis and comparison of the original version with the guitar solo version. Two articles by the composer and an interview served as the basis of this work. As for the interpretation of the bambuco, I created exercises and microstudies to overcome the technical difficulties I encountered, including fingering, as well as expressive difficulties in the piece. This material may be used to help those learning to perform the bambuco, making this genre of Columbian music of the Andes more accessible to listeners, as well.
