Townsend's Solitaire Nesting in Cypress Hills, Alberta

The geography of conflict between elk and agricultural values in the Cypress Hills, Canada.

Complex ecological issues like depredation and its management are determined by multiple factors acting at more than one scale and are interlinked with complex human social and economic behaviour. Depredation by wild herbivores can be a major obstacle to agricultural community support for wildlife conservation. For three decades, crop and fence damage, competition with livestock for native rang...

Helminth Parasites of the Gastrointestinal Tracts and Lungs

Gastrointestinal tracts and lungs of 140 moose (Alces alces) and 186 wapiti (Cervus elaphus) from Cypress Hills, Alberta, were examined for helminth parasites. Moose were infected with nine species of parasites, including six nematodes, two cestodes, and one trematode. Wapiti were infected with 10 species, including eight nematodes and two cestodes. Six of the total of 13 species found co-occur...

Solitaire Clobber

Clobber is a new two-player board game. In this paper, we introduce the 1-player variant Solitaire Clobber where the goal is to remove as many stones as possible from the board by alternating white and black moves. We show that a checkerboard configuration on a single row (or single column) can be reduced to about n/4 stones. For boards with at least two rows and columns, we show that a checker...

Cypress Semiconductor Internal Correspondence

A quartz crystal oscillator can be thought ofas a resonator connected across an amplifier considered asa nonlinear dipole the impedance of which depends on theamplitude of the current that flows through it. The non-linear amplifier resistance and reactance are obtained byusing a time domain electrical simulator like SPICE (Simu-lation Program with Integrated Circuit Emph...
