Floristic Inventory of the Cooper Woods— Skinner Woods Complex and a Comparison of the Woodland Structure and Composition Between the Two Sites FLORISTIC INVENTORY OF THE COOPER WOODS— SKINNER WOODS COMPLEX AND A COMPARISON OF THE WOODLAND STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION BETWEEN THE TWO SITES A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF SCIENCE BY AHMED HUBINI DR. DON RUCH – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2017 i ABSTRACT THESIS: Floristic Inventory of the Cooper Woods—Skinner Woods Complex and a Comparison of the Woodland Structure and Composition between the Two Sites STUDENT: Ahmed Hubini DEGREE: Master of Science COLLEGE: Sciences and Humanities DATE: May 2017 PAGES: 90 Both Cooper woods (CW) and Skinner Woods (SW) are owned and managed by Ball State University and are located in Muncie IN, Delaware County. The two sites are approximately 18.8 hectares. Floristic quality analysis: For the two woodlands combined, 356 taxa representing 225 genera in 90 families were reported. The four families with the highest number of species were Poaceae (45), Asteraceae (38), Cyperaceae (28), and Rosaceae (20). Of the 356 documented species, 276 were native and 80 were exotic. A physiognomic analysis was provided. The FQI and mean C were 55.0 and 3.4, respectively, and the FQI and mean C for total species (native and exotic) were 48.6 and 2.6, respectively. The FQI and mean C indicated that the complex is of nature preserve quality, but the decreased in the value for the mean C suggests that the exotics are having a negative impact on the native flora. No species occur on the Indiana Department of Natural Resources list of endangered, threatened or rare plants, but two species, Rudbeckia fulgida var. fulgida and Spiranthes ovalis var. erostellata, are on the state watch list. Similar results were obtained for CW and SW individually. Woody plant analysis: Twenty-four 15 m plots were established in SW; plot centers were 30 m apart. Data collected at each plot included species name, distance from the plot center in m, azimuth, diameter at breast height ii (dbh), and tree health. Trees were placed in three size classes (dbh > 20 cm, dbh > 10 cm but ≤ 20 cm, and dbh > 5 cm but ≤ 10 cm. Results indicate that prior to the introduction of the emerald ash borer, SW was a Midland hardwood forest dominated by ash, oak, and hickory, but following its introduction, the ash are nearly gone. Similar results were found in CW (data provided by Dr. Kem Badger). Currently, the RIV for all species of Carya and Quercus combined was nearly identical for both sites, i.e., 72 for SW versus 69 for CW. However, Carya spp. had a higher RIV at SW (29) then at CW (17). Analysis of the two smaller size classes suggests that the forest will change composition over time from the current oak-hickory dominated woodland to a sugar maple-hickory dominated forest. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to my advisor Dr. Don Ruch for his patience, motivation, knowledge, and guidance that has helped me during my studies and my writing. I would also like to give a special thanks to John Taylor and Megan Crecelius for all their help and support in the field. I would like to thank my committee members, Dr. Kem Badger and Dr. David LeBlanc, for their encouragement, insightful comments, and patience. I would especially like to thank my family: my parents, my brothers and sisters, for supporting me throughout my life. Last but not the least, I am thankful to all my friends for their kind supports.

FSEEC documents describe the site as follows: “The Cooper- Skinner Area is comprised of many distinct microenvironments with each habitat rich in diversity for field research and environmental education purposes. History, habitat, and land use of the Cooper Field Area mirror the diverse habitats located in east-central Indiana. Some of the areas have undergone restoration, such as prairie, wetlands, and forests, while others are left to develop naturally. The site is managed to provide on environmental laboratory for environmental education. To date, the major theme of environmental education programs and restoration efforts has been the enhancement of the regional biodiversity of a human-dominated landscape. Located within the Area (Cooper-Skinner) are permanent monitoring stations, including a weather station, vegetation plots, and quality water sensors.” (John Taylor, Land Manager of

  • Identifying Certain Factors That Give Hunting Arrows Improved Performance in Windy Conditions and Increased Energy Downrange
    (Opposite) Variables such as arrow diameter and fletching size play a huge role in downrange arrow performance. (Below) Easton’s AXIS arrows are a top choice for bowhunters looking to maximize wind drift and energy downrange since they are ultra-small in diameter and weigh about 9 to 10 grains per inch of shaft length. This allows for a total arrow weight well beyond 400 grains. Identifying certain factors that give hunting arrows improved performance in windy conditions and increased energy downrange. By Joe Bell Ample front-of-center weight is crucial for top accuracy when an arrow is subjected to a strong crosswind. The more front heavy the arrow is, the greater its steering capability becomes.

  • CLASSIC WORKBENCH Design, Construction Notes & Techniques
    BENCHCRAFTED CLASSIC WORKBENCH Design, Construction Notes & Techniques Copyright, Benchcrafted December 2016 www.benchcrafted.com 1 DESIGN When we set out to design a new workbench for our customers, from the very beginning we decided it should, above all, be simple. Not only in function, but also to build. We make no bones about it, our vises are designed and made to work sweetly, but not to a price point. However, not everyone is ready for their ultimate Split Top Roubo bench build, either monetarily, or technically. For those looking to get their feet wet in traditional woodworking, using time-proven techniques and tools, this bench will provide all the workholding required to test the waters. For many, this will be all the bench you need, and for others it will be an excellent springboard to our Split Top Roubo, while keeping the Classic as a second bench. The Classic Workbench is based largely on the famous Plate 11 workbench from Roubo’s “The Art of the Joiner”. We’ve built dozens of these “Roubo” benches over the past decade, helped others build hundreds more and examined extant French benches from the period. We’ve haven’t changed our opinion on this fundamental design. The Classic is a simpler, easier to build version of Roubo’s Plate 11 bench that captures all the functionality of Roubo’s design. French technical schools of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were outfitted with benches just like this. Paring down the bench to its essentials, we’ve incorporated our Classic Leg Vise, Planing Stop and Holdfast as workholding devices.

  • THE APPEARANCE of PROFESSIONALISM Elizabeth B. Cooper
    THE APPEARANCE OF PROFESSIONALISM Elizabeth B. Cooper Abstract The dominant image of a lawyer persists: a neatly dressed man wearing a conservative dark suit, white shirt, and muted accessories. Many attorneys can conform to this expectation, but there are a growing number of “outsider” lawyers for whom compliance with appearance norms can challenge their fundamental identities. People of color, women, LGBTQ individuals, religiously observant persons, and those who inhabit intersectional identities are among those who disproportionately remain excluded from the dominant culture and centers of power in the legal profession. Expectations of appearance conformity create profound concerns that go well beyond style preferences, raising questions of autonomy and core identity. Non-compliance with these expectations can also have profound employment consequences. Studies have demonstrated that individuals make quick judgments imbued with unconscious bias. These fast and faulty implicit biases manifest in individual microaggressions and the creation of microaggressive environments. When an outsider law student or new attorney goes on a job interview or starts a new position, the employer cannot help but use this skewed lens. To facilitate acceptance, some outsiders may choose to “cover,” or find a way to minimize their perceived differences from the majority culture. Black women may feel pressure to straighten their hair. Lesbians may feel obligated to avoid wearing pantsuits and flat shoes. Religious men and women may consider removing their head coverings. But these acts of covering have their own cost: They potentially harm the new lawyer’s sense of identity, her self- confidence, her close relationships with others, and her job performance. This Article argues that legal employers and law schools have an obligation to create culturally proficient environments where insider lawyers learn to disrupt their own implicit biases and microaggressions so outsiders can bring their full identities to work and school.
