  • Nesting Biology. Social Patterns and Displays of the Mandarin Duck, a Ix Galericulata
    pi)' NESTING BIOLOGY. SOCIAL PATTERNS AND DISPLAYS OF THE MANDARIN DUCK, A_IX GALERICULATA Richard L. Bruggers A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 1974 ' __ U J 591913 W A'W .'X55’ ABSTRACT A study of pinioned, free-ranging Mandarin ducks (Aix galericulata) was conducted from 1971-1974 at a 25-acre estate. The purposes 'were to 1) document breeding biology and behaviors, nesting phenology, and time budgets; 2) describe displays associated with copulatory behavior, pair-formation and maintenance, and social encounters; and 3) determine the female's role in male social display and pair formation. The intensive observations (in excess of 400 h) included several full-day and all-night periods. Display patterns were recorded (partially with movies) arid analyzed. The female's role in social display was examined through a series of male and female introductions into yearling and adult male "display parties." Mandarins formed strong seasonal pair bonds, which re-formed in successive years if both individuals lived. Clutches averaged 9.5 eggs and were begun by yearling females earlier and with less fertility (78%) than adult females (90%). Incubation averaged 28-30 days. Duckling development was rapid and sexual dimorphism evident. 9 Adults and yearlings of both sexes could be separated on the basis of primary feather length; females, on secondary feather pigmentation. Mandarin daily activity patterns consisted of repetitious feeding, preening, and loafing, but the duration and patterns of each activity varied with the social periods.

  • Ducks in the Flow: Where Did They Go? to Find out More About These Traveling Ducks!
    © 2008 University Corporation for Atmospheric Research All Rights Reserved This book is based on a true story! In 1992, a ship carrying containers of bath toys was sailing from Asia to the United States. The ship hit a storm in the middle of the northern Pacific Ocean and some of the containers went overboard, including one that held 29,000 plastic ducks, turtles, beavers, and frogs. After floating in surface ocean currents for many years, the ducks and other toys began washing up on shores all over the world. The research lab the kids visit in this book is also based on a real place, NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) in Muskegon, Michigan. Now it’s time to read Ducks in the Flow: Where Did They Go? to find out more about these traveling ducks!

  • “My Responsibility, My Food” Meat, Slaughter and Self-Sufficiency
    Andreas Backa “My Responsibility, My Food” Meat, Slaughter and Self-sufficiency Abstract This article examines views on meat, slaughter and human-animal relations in the contemporary self-sufficiency trend. The point of departure of the analysis is ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with individuals striving towards be- coming more self-sufficient in the region of Ostrobothnia, Finland. The focus is on the interviewees’ narration of their practices and experiences of animal husbandry, and more specifically on the role of affect and body in the killing of animals for human consumption. The material is analysed utilising cultur- al analysis inspired by phenomenology, and the findings are discussed from the perspective of post-domesticity. The analysis shows how the interviewees negotiate and justify their choices regarding meat, and why they prefer self- sufficiency farming and home slaughter to industrial agriculture and slaugh- ter. This form of small-scale animal husbandry is characterised by affective relationships between bodies, which counteract the processes of post-domestic modernity that generate disconnectedness between animal and human, food and origin, producer and consumer.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

By way of this examination, literary changes over time become readable, highlighting the speed at which the rhetoric and aims of many immigration narratives became patently anti-America in the twenty- first century, significantly departing from the traditions established in the twentieth century, which, at their core still held pro-America aims. The first chapter, “The Solution is the Problem: Immigrant Narratives of Internment and Detention,” considers nonfiction narratives regarding immigration detention within the borders of the United States.

  • VTR EIS) (DOE/EIS-0542) Comment Submittal by Tami Thatcher, February 11, 2021
    Public Comment Submittal on the U.S. Department of Energy’s Versatile Test Reactor Draft Environmental Impact Statement (VTR EIS) (DOE/EIS-0542) Comment submittal by Tami Thatcher, February 11, 2021. Comments Due: February 16, 2021. Sent by email to [email protected] BACKGROUND The draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Versatile Test Reactor (VTR) considers the potential environmental impacts for the construction and operation a new Department of Energy regulated test reactor, and associated facilities for post-irradiation evaluation of fuels and other materials, VTR driver fuel production (fuel feedstock and fuel fabrication), and the managing of its spent nuclear fuel. The VTR would be a 300 megawatt (thermal) fast neutron reactor that does not generate electricity and is only used for high neutron bombardment of fuels and other materials. The VTR is a pool-type, sodium-cooled reactor with a fast-neutron spectrum and will use a uranium-plutonium-zirconium metal fuel. GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy is working with the Idaho National Laboratory on the VTR conceptual design based on its PRISM reactor, which was based on the Experimental Breeder II reactor. 1 The EBR II which was operated by Argonne National Laboratory – West at the Idaho site which is now the Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC) at the INL, although the EBR II has been dismantled. The 60-year-old pyroprocessing facility at MFC, the Fuel Conditioning Facility (FCF) remains at the former EBR II complex. SUMMARY OF VTR EIS INADEQUACY I disapprove of the DOE’s preferred alternative, to construct the VTR at either proposed location, the Idaho National Laboratory or the Oak Ridge National Laboratory because of cost, accident risk and nuclear weapons proliferation concerns.
