Robbins, Danny Bystrak, and Paul H. Geissler Patuxent Wildlife Research Center U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Laurel, Maryland 20708 Abstract The Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) is an ongoing cooperative program sponsored jointly by the U.S. Fish and Wildife Service and the Canadian Wildlife Service. Its main purpose is to estimate population trends of the many species of birds that nest in North America north of Mexico and that migrate across interna­ tional boundaries. This survey provides information, both locally by ecological or political regions and on a continental scale, on (1) short-term population changes that can be correlated with specific weather incidents, (2) recovery periods following catastrophic declines, (3) normal year-to-year variations, (4) long-term population trends, and (5) invasions of exotics. The BBS also permits detailed computer mapping of relative abundance of each species, either year by year to show changes in distribution and relative abundance, or the average over a period of years. It pro­ vides base-line data with which more intensive local studies can be compared. For biogeographic studies it provides uniform sampling of bird populations by major physiographic regions across the continent. In conjunction with the Audubon Christmas Bird Count, it permits com­ parison of summer and winter distribution of species that winter in the United States. Most species of North American birds migrate across international boundaries, especially those shared with Canada, Mexico, and the Soviet Union. As part of our responsibility under treaties with these na­ tions, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has developed the BBS to monitor avian population changes so that any adverse trends can be detected early. This provides the opportunity to determine the reasons for any increase or decrease, to define geographic areas in which changes are greatest, to study correlations between avian population changes and land-use changes, and to make recommendations for controlling undesirable bird population trends. For example, the BBS can be used to detect and estimate the extent of losses resulting from widespread use of pesticides,

  • Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play a Dissertation
    The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Todd L. Harper November 2010 © 2010 Todd L. Harper. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play by TODD L. HARPER has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Mia L. Consalvo Associate Professor of Media Arts and Studies Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT HARPER, TODD L., Ph.D., November 2010, Mass Communications The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play (244 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Mia L. Consalvo This dissertation draws on feminist theory – specifically, performance and performativity – to explore how digital game players construct the game experience and social play. Scholarship in game studies has established the formal aspects of a game as being a combination of its rules and the fiction or narrative that contextualizes those rules. The question remains, how do the ways people play games influence what makes up a game, and how those players understand themselves as players and as social actors through the gaming experience? Taking a qualitative approach, this study explored players of fighting games: competitive games of one-on-one combat. Specifically, it combined observations at the Evolution fighting game tournament in July, 2009 and in-depth interviews with fighting game enthusiasts. In addition, three groups of college students with varying histories and experiences with games were observed playing both competitive and cooperative games together.

  • The Performative Interactivity of Video Games
    SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?: THE PERFORMATIVE INTERACTIVITY OF VIDEO GAMES Michael J. Beck Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2014 APPROVED: John M. Allison, Jr., Major Professor and Chair of the Department of Communication Studies Justin T. Trudeau, Committee Member Shaun Treat, Committee Member Holley Vaughn, Committee Member Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Beck, Michael J. Shall We Play a Game? The Performative Interactivity of Video Games. Master of Science (Communication Studies), August 2014, 113 pp., bibliography, 61 titles. This study examines the ways that videogames and live performance are informed by play theory. Utilizing performance studies methodologies, specifically personal narrative and autoperformance, the project explores the embodied ways that gamers know and understand videogames. A staged performance, “Shall We Play a Game?,” was crafted using Brechtian theatre techniques and Conquergood’s three A’s of performance, and served as the basis for the examination. This project seeks to dispel popular misconceptions about videogames and performance and to expand understanding about videogaming as an embodied performative practice and a way of knowing that has practical implications for everyday life.

  • Characteristics of Tornadoes Associated with Land-Falling Gulf
    CHARACTERISTICS OF TORNADOES ASSOCIATED WITH LAND-FALLING GULF COAST TROPICAL CYCLONES by CORY L. RHODES DR. JASON SENKBEIL, COMMITTEE CHAIR DR. DAVID BROMMER DR. P. GRADY DIXON A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Geography in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Cory L. Rhodes 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Tropical cyclone tornadoes are brief and often unpredictable events that can produce fatalities and create considerable economic loss. Given these uncertainties, it is important to understand the characteristics and factors that contribute to tornado formation within tropical cyclones. This thesis analyzes this hazardous phenomenon, examining the relationships among tropical cyclone intensity, size, and tornado output. Furthermore, the influences of synoptic and dynamic parameters on tornado output near the time of tornado formation were assessed among two phases of a tropical cyclone’s life cycle; those among hurricanes and tropical storms, termed tropical cyclone tornadoes (TCT), and those among tropical depressions and remnant lows, termed tropical low tornadoes (TLT). Results show that tornado output is affected by tropical cyclone intensity, and to a lesser extent size, with those classified as large in size and ‘major’ in intensity producing a greater amount of tornadoes. Increased values of storm relative helicity are dominant for the TCT environment while CAPE remains the driving force for TLT storms. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my advisor and committee chair, Dr. Jason Senkbeil, and fellow committee members Dr. David Brommer and Dr. P. Grady Dixon for their encouragement, guidance and tremendous support throughout the entire thesis process.

  • 東東不死傳說/Dong Dong Never Die (F 1.0)
    東東不死傳說/DONG DONG NEVER DIE (F 1.0) The year is 2009. This is China, home to roughly 1.3 billion people, but one among the sea of faces stands apart from the rest, for he is the only man who can save the world from certain destruction. This man is Dong Dong, a police officer from Sichuan, currently on an assignment in Guangzhou to investigate the disappearance of many martial artists. Here in Guangzhou, there is an underground tournament being held called the STREET FIGHTER tournament. Having attracted people from all walks of life with the promise of wealth and recognition, this is the place where Dong Dong's investigative senses tell him to start looking, and so he registers for the tournament. What Dong Dong doesn't know is that something else has anticipated his participation and is hunting down martial artists to draw Dong Dong's attention. What hunts Dong Dong is neither man nor beast, it is a Terminator, a time traveling self molesting (no joke) gas mask wearing killing machine sent back from the year 2029 by SKYNET. You see, SKYNET was already in preparation to take over the world in 2009 (That's right! Within the year there's going to be a nuclear holocaust!) but while its initial efforts were enough to cripple humanity (except the major news sources like Times Magazine), Dong Dong somehow rallied humanity (in SKYNET's timeline) and by 2013, Dong Dong had become “humanity's last hope” (FOR REASONS COMPLETELY UNKNOWN). By 2029, SKYNET's fate was sealed, and in an act of desperation, it sent a Terminator back to 2009 in hopes of killing Dong Dong before initiating a nuclear attack on humanity.

  • Hazard Analysis 5 Introduction
    HAZARD ANALYSIS 5 INTRODUCTION The Hazard Analysis section continues to focus on those hazards identified in the Hazard Identification section. The Hazard Analysis provides a summary of best available information on significant historical hazard events1 that have occurred in Mecklenburg County, including the seven incorporated jurisdictions participating in this Plan, and also describes the future potential for a hazard event to occur. When possible, this includes an assessment of the location and spatial extent of potential hazards as well as best available data regarding notable historical damages2 within the county. The outline for the Hazard Analysis is the same as that for the Hazard Identification section, and consists of the following hazards: • FLOOD • HURRICANES AND TROPICAL STORMS • SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS • TORNADOES • WINTER STORMS • EARTHQUAKES • LANDSLIDES • SINKHOLES • DROUGHT • WILDFIRE • DAM/LEVEE FAILURE To a large extent, historical records are used to identify the level of risk within the planning area—with the methodological assumption that the data sources cited are reliable and accurate. This section also provides a series of maps that illustrate the location and spatial extent for those hazards within Mecklenburg County that have a recognizable geographic boundary (i.e., hazards that are known to occur in particular areas of the county such as the 100-year floodplain). For those hazards with potential risk not confined to a particular geographic area (such as thunderstorms and tornadoes), historical event locations and/or general information on the applicable intensity of these events across the entire planning area is provided. 44 CFR Requirement Part 201.6(c)(2)(i): The risk assessment shall include a description of the type, location and extent of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction.
