Assessment of the Lactation Index for Managing White-Tailed Deer PopulationsCampbell, Kamen Lee 11 August 2012 (has links)
I analyzed precision and accuracy of lactation data to reflect actual fawn recruitment for various levels of fecundity, neonatal mortality, harvest intensity, and hunter selectivity. I evaluated and developed a correction equation to adjust for harvest date effects on lactation detectability. I compared metrics of site-specific fawn recruitment (e.g., lactation rates, hunter observation fawn-to-doe ratios, and post-season fawn-to-doe ratios) among themselves, and to site-specific indices of carnivore abundance, for 18 properties across Mississippi and Alabama. Accuracy of lactation rates are compromised due to variation at minimal harvest intensity and insensitivity to change in fetal rate or neonatal mortality. Lactation data can be corrected for harvest date effects on lactation detectability. Hunter observation data are variable and poorly represent fawn recruitment. Lactation data are related to fawn recruitment and can be used to roughly estimate fawn recruitment. Carnivore abundance had neither a significant nor consistent effect on fawn recruitment.

Návrh sanace stokové sítě vybrané části urbanizovaného celku / Design of sewer network rehabilitation of choice parts of urbanized areasHorák, Ondřej January 2013 (has links)
The thesis approaches the problem of design of sewer network rehabilitation of urbanized area named Kamenná čtvrť. The thesis is divided into several parts. In the first part of the thesis there is the accompaying report, which describs characteristics of the area as a whole. The second part of the thesis is about describing each part of the network, clasification of defects according to the ČSN EN 13508 -2 and fothcoming TNV 75 6905 and photographs from network camera survey. In the third part of this thesis there is a chart with all defects located on the network. Also there is an evaluation of each part of network according to prepared TNV 75 6905. The fourth part of the thesis talks about evaluation of each part of the network as a whole. In the fifth part of the thesis we design possible choises of reahabilitation on the network. The sixth part of the thesis contains the economic aspects of possible alternatives and their comparsion. Last part of the thesis contains a hydrotechnical calculation, which means calculation of the current situation and the possible alternatives. There is an individual evaluation of the calculation and if its necessary optimizations of the network.
