The Palomarin Handbook THE PALOMARIN HANDBOOK Point Blue's Landbird Procedures Manual for the Palomarin Field Station Version 17.2 Last updated Mar 2018 THE PALOMARIN HANDBOOK ~ Point Blue's Landbird Procedures Manual for the Palomarin Field Station ~ Seventeenth Edition COPYRIGHT 2017 Point Blue Contribution Number 503 [original edition, 1980] Point Blue Conservation Science (founded as the Point Reyes Bird Observatory) Headquarters: 3820 Cypress Dr. #11, Petaluma, CA 94954 Palomarin Field Station: 999 Mesa Road, PO Box 1157, Bolinas, CA 94924 www.pointblue.org This handbook is dedicated to the Palomarin Interns of 1979 and 1980 who had to do without the help of a handbook. These interns were Geoff Geupel, Kathy Keane, Janet Kjelmyr, Tom Pogson, Peter Pyle, David Sherman, and Ken Warheit. Their creativity, dedication, and constant comments and suggestions made it happen. In particular we acknowledge Janet Kjelmyr who had the perseverance to see it through. “At first glance, the work described in this handbook might seem overwhelming. It is not. The work is hard, but certainly rewarding, and we are sure that your experiences here will be educational as well as enjoyable.” – Spring 1980 Volunteers We are especially grateful to David DeSante, who co-authored the first edition with the 1979/80 interns and whose vision provided the groundwork for Palomarin. Since the original edition, many biologists have helped to shape the “handbook” into its current form. In particular, Denise Hardesty, Anne King, Maureen Flannery, Dennis Jongsomjit, and Diana Humple played critical roles. Additionally, several others have made and continue to make important contributions including Hilary Allen, Grant Ballard, Daniel Barton, Xeronimo Castañeda, Renée Cormier, David Cothran, Mark Dettling, Thomas Gardali, Heather Gates, Sue Guers, Sacha Heath, Aaron Holmes, Scott Jennings, Michael Lynes, Christopher McCreedy, Melissa Pitkin, Libby Porzig, Lars Pomara, Miko Ruhlen, Sandy Scoggin, Stacy Small, and Diana Stralberg. Many others have helped improve the handbook over the years and we sincerely apologize to those of you not listed here, and extend our gratitude to you as well. Like past revisions of the handbook, this version updates and clarifies data protocols as necessary. We also are grateful to Hilary Allen for the cover art. Because the handbook has gone through so many revisions, from so many people, for over two decades, we have decided not to list authors. This handbook is truly a collective work and is always a “work in progress.” All [people] are [siblings], we like to say, half-wishing sometimes in secret it were not true. But perhaps it is true. And is the evolutionary line from protozoan to Spinoza any less certain? This also may be true. We are obliged, and bitter though it may be for some to hear, that all living things on earth are kindred. Edward Abbey You have agreed to aid in a program of scientific research on the population biology of landbirds. The data that you will be helping to collect will contribute to increase our understanding of the natural world, to the advancement of science, and to the conservation of species and habitats. It is important that your data are ACCURATE AND COMPLETE. Collecting and recording data in a standardized way is the backbone of any monitoring program. Adherence to the methodology in this handbook ensures the integrity of the Palomarin Data, past, present, and future. If you have any questions, or are unsure of identification, measurement, or procedure, please ask. Communication is essential to all biological research.

DESCRIPTORS Attitudes; *Cataloging; Cost Effectiveness; Input Output Devices; *Interlibrary Loans; *Library Networks; *Online Systems; Records (Forms); Regional Cooperation; *Shared Services IDENTIFIERS *Illinois Valley Library System; Multitype Library Networks; *OCLC; Resource Sharing ABSTRACT A project was conducted from 1980 to 1982 to examine the costs and benefits of OCLC use in 29 small and medium-sized member libraries of the Illinois Valley Library System (IVLS). Academic, school, public, and special libraries participated in the project. A major project objective was to determine whether the sharing of an OCLC terminal by two to five libraries in close geographic proximity could significantly cut costs and yet provide acceptable service. This report describes specific cluster work arrangements for cataloging and interlibrary loan, including cataloging at the host library; cataloging from printouts; cataloging by the host library; conducting part of the cataloging procedure at the guest library and the rest at the host library; limiting interlibrary loan activity to lending of materials requested via OCLC; lending and borrowing through the host library; lending and borrowing by the guest library; and dial access interlibrary loan use and shared use of a portable terminal.

DOI: 10.1111/j.1423-0410.2008.01073.x Transfusion-associatedBlackwell Publishing Ltd graft-versus-host disease D. M. Dwyre & P. V. Holland Department of Pathology, University of California Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA, USA Transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GvHD) is a rare complication of transfusion of cellular blood components producing a graft-versus-host clinical picture with concomitant bone marrow aplasia. The disease is fulminant and rapidly fatal in the majority of patients. TA-GvHD is caused by transfused blood-derived, alloreactive T lymphocytes that attack host tissue, including bone marrow with resultant bone marrow failure. Human leucocyte antigen similarity between the trans- fused lymphocytes and the host, often in conjunction with host immunosuppression, allows tolerance of the grafted lymphocytes to survive the host immunological response. Any blood component containing viable T lymphocytes can cause TA-GvHD, with fresher components more likely to have intact cells and, thus, able to cause disease. Treatment is generally not helpful, while prevention, usually via irradiation of blood Received: 13 December 2007, components given to susceptible recipients, is the key to obviating TA-GvHD. Newer revised 18 May 2008, accepted 21 May 2008, methods, such as pathogen inactivation, may play an important role in the future. published online 9 June 2008 Key words: graft-versus-host, immunosuppression, irradiation, transfusion. along with findings due to marked bone marrow aplasia.

However, these countries have great differences in politics, laws, economy, hydropower potential, social development and environmental constraints. Due to the inappropriate choice of countries for investment, many failure cases have also occurred. To specifically evaluate hydropower investment in these countries, this paper proposed a six-dimensional indicator system which can represents the characteristics of hydropower investment along BRI based on the analysis of the typical cases of overseas investment by Chinese enterprises. Furthermore, a fuzzy optimal model based on the Delphi-Entropy weight was constructed to evaluate the hydropower investment of 65 countries along BRI as well as a list of countries and corresponding investment grades are proposed. The result indicates that politics and hydropower industry factors are the key determinants of choosing the countries for conducting investment while legal, economic, social and environmental factors should also be covered.

  • The Language of Pain: Expression Or Description? (Converging Evidence
    The Language of Pain Converging Evidence in Language and Communication Research (CELCR) Over the past decades, linguists have taken a broader view of language and are borrowing methods and findings from other disciplines such as cognition and computer sciences, neurology, biology, sociology, psychology, and anthropology. This development has enriched our knowledge of language and communication, but at the same time it has made it difficult for researchers in a particular field of language studies to be aware of how their findings might relate to those in other (sub-)disciplines. CELCR seeks to address this problem by taking a cross-disciplinary approach to the study of language and communication. The books in the series focus on a specific linguistic topic and offer studies pertaining to this topic from different disciplinary angles, thus taking converging evidence in language and communi- cation research as its basic methodology.
