Site index curves were constructed for the Emory oak (Ouercus emoryi) woodlands of the San Rafael Valley in southeastern Arizona. The woodlands primarily consisted of trees that were of sprout origin. Growth was rapid for 10 years, moderate from 10 to 20 years, and slow after 20 years. No trees in the study area were more than 40 feet tall. Stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between site index and site factors. Important variables included available soil water holding capacity, percent volume of coarse fragments, radiation index, percent sand, litter depth, and soil pH. Two models were developed; the r² values were 0.56 and 0.49, respectively. Analysis of variance was used to test for differences between site index on different soil types and slope positions. All statistical tests were conducted using a 0.10 level of significance. The sample consisted of 100 trees. Most of the factors were involved with availability of water to the tree roots. Emory oak grows in a dryland area where water is a limiting factor. Therefore, the effect that soil and terrain has on the availability of water to tree roots is an important impact on the site index for Emory oak woodlands.

"El guion cinematografico como pre-texto literario. La obra de Rafael Azcona" studies the artistic evolution of one of Spain's most distinguished and prolific film scriptwriters, Rafael Azcona, who has had a decisive role in shaping Spanish cinema since the 1950s. In spite of the fact that film professionals recognize his fundamental contributions to filmmaking, relatively little attention has been paid to his written. Moreover, criticism has virtually ignored the substantial body of fiction that he has produced. The goal of my thesis is to see how an examination of Azcona's role as fiction writer broadly construed--encompassing his work as a writer of fiction and his work as a screenwriter--positions him as one of contemporary Spain's most important cultural critics. This reading allows for the reconsideration of Azcona as a persistent champion of civil society against the pressures of dictatorship and the possible abuse of capital, one whose use of acerbic humor places him in the tradition of Goya and Valle Inclan and aligns his narrative with the tradition reestablished by Luis Martin-Santos in the early 1960s. My point of departure is the consideration of Azcona's opus informed by Bordwell's seminal work on the relationship between fiction writing and film. My grounding in cultural theory and contemporary Spanish studies allows me to contextualize Azcona's work and make the case for his consideration as a foundational figure in Spanish cultural production during and after Franco's dictatorship.
