(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Habitat associations of sea otters during resting and feeding were investigated in Simpson Bay, Prince William Sound, Alaska during the summer months of 2001-2003. Sea otter locations collected during boat surveys were ... -
Habitat associations of cavity-nesting owls in the Sierra Nevada
(2009-05-15)Several species of small, cavity-nesting owls occur in the Sierra Nevada, including in areas impacted by human activities. The owls typically use standing dead trees (snags) for nest sites. Although descriptive studies ... -
Habitat relationships of seven breeding bird species in the Leon River Watershed investigated at local scales
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Over the past 100?150 years Texas rangelands have dramatically changed from native open savannahs to dense woodlands. On the Edwards plateau, a major management concern is the increasing encroachment of Ashe juniper ... -
Habitat selection and movement patterns of cattle and white-tailed deer in a temperate savanna
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)This study investigated the use of high resolution satellite imagery in research involving habitat selection, and movement patterns of white-tailed deer and cattle in a semi-arid landscape. Vegetation classification was ... -
Habitat use by the golden-cheeked warbler in Texas
(2009-05-15)Understanding species-habitat relationships is fundamental to the conservation of a species. This is especially important when the species is considered endangered. The Golden-cheeked Warbler is a habitat specialist ... -
Habitat use, growth, and mortality of post-settlement lane snapper (Lutjanus synagris) on natural banks in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico
(2009-05-15)Three low-relief banks (Heald Bank, Sabine Bank, Freeport Rocks) in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico were evaluated as lane snapper (Lutjanus synagris Linnaeus, 1758) nursery habitat. Trawl surveys were conducted in three ... -
Hadoop MapReduce for Mobile Cloud
(2014-04-17)The new generations of mobile devices have high processing power and storage, but they lag behind in terms of software systems for big data storage and processing. Hadoop is a scalable platform that provides distributed ... -
Hafnium-doped tantalum oxide high-k gate dielectric films for future CMOS technology
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)A novel high-k gate dielectric material, i.e., hafnium-doped tantalum oxide (Hf-doped TaOx), has been studied for the application of the future generation metal-oxidesemiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). The ... -
Haiku, Nature, and Narrative: An Empirical Study of the Writing Paradigm and Its Theories
(2014-04-04)The present study continued an examination of haiku poetry within the context of the writing paradigm. Groups were compared with respect to three factors?writing type (narrative, haiku, or haibun), image content (nature ... -
