A simulation model of Rio Grande wild turkey dynamics in the Edwards Plateau of TexasSchwertner, Thomas Wayne 16 August 2006 (has links)
I investigated the effect of precipitation and predator abundance on Rio Grande wild
turkey (Meleagris gallopavo; RGWT) in Texas. My results suggested that RGWT
production was strongly correlated with cumulative winter precipitation over the range
of the RGWT in Texas. However, I found no evidence that predator abundance
influenced RGWT production, although spatial-asynchrony of predator populations at
multiple spatial scales might have masked broad-scale effects. Using the results of these
analyses, as well as empirical data derived from the literature and from field studies in
the southern Edwards Plateau, I developed a stochastic, density-dependent, sex- and agespecific
simulation model of wild turkey population dynamics. I used the model to
evaluate the effect of alternative harvest management strategies on turkey populations.
Sensitivity analysis of the model suggested that shape of the density-dependence
relationship, clutch size, hatchability, juvenile sex ratio, poult survival, juvenile survival,
and nonbreeding hen mortality most strongly influenced model outcome. Of these,
density-dependence, sex ratio, and juvenile survival were least understood and merit
further research. My evaluation of fall hen harvest suggested that current rates do not pose a threat to turkey populations. Moreover, it appears that hen harvest can be
extended to other portions of the RGWT range without reducing turkey abundance,
assuming that population dynamics and harvest rates are similar to those in the current
fall harvest zone. Finally, simulation of alternative hen harvest rates suggested that rates
≥5% of the fall hen population resulted in significant declines in the simulated
population after 25 years, and rates ≥15% resulted in significant risk of extinction to the
simulated population.

An analysis of foreign direct investment in Turkish manufacturing industryEren, Fesih January 1994 (has links)
This dissertation focuses on the determinants of foreign direct investment in Turkey's manufacturing industry. The empirical analysis of determinants of foreign direct investment in developing countries is much less studied than those of developed countries. Overall, the most revealed features of foreign direct investment technological superiority together with product differentiation were found not to be a paramount factor in Turkish industry. The Turkish industrial policies and resultant market structure turned out to have created the principle conditions for foreign direct investment to thrive. A highly concentrated market, with considerably high sectoral protection rates and relatively fast market growth were found as the most significant factors in determining the level of investment. The ability of foreign firms to take advantage of Turkish market conditions was found to play a major role. The most important of all their ability to prevail in sectors where high minimum capital was required, where managerial and high technical and production skills were of prime importance.
