The purpose of our study was to identify microhabitat characteristics of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) nest site selection and survival to determine the quality of sage-grouse habitat in 5 regions of central and southwest Wyoming associated with Wyoming's Core Area Policy. Wyoming's Core Area Policy was enacted in 2008 to reduce human disturbance near the greatest densities of...

We have developed a patch implementing multivariate polynomials seen as a multi-base algebra. The patch is to be released into the software Sage and can already be found within the Sage-Combinat distribution. One can use our patch to define a polynomial in a set of indexed variables and expand it into a linear basis of the multivariate polynomials. So far, we have the Schubert polynomials, the ...

The study of discourse has become a major development in all disciplines of the humanities and the social sciences. Studies in Discourse will feature introductory books for the key domains and most relevant topics in this exciting new cross-discipline. The series aims to stimulate teaching and research on discourse in linguistics, literature, sociology, anthropology, psychology, communications ...

This paper discusses a recent retreat of multiculturalism in the liberal state. This retreat has occurred both at the level of theory and practice. With the help of some recent liberal critiques of multiculturalism (by B.Barry, G.Sartori, and Y.Levy), the first part maps out some shortcomings of the notion of minority integration through cultural recognition, particularly with respect to immigr...

The essential oil composition and genetic variability of common sage ( Salvia officinalis L.) and its three ornamental cultivars ('Purpurascens', 'Tricolor', and 'Kew Gold') as well as Judean sage ( Salvia judaica Boiss.) were analyzed by GC-FID, GC-MS, and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Common sage and its cultivars contained the same volatile compounds; only the ratio of compounds d...

The Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment (SAGE) was developed at theUniversity of Illinois at Chicago’s (UIC) Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) to facilitate collaborative efforts that require the sharing of data-intensive information for analysis. SAGE is a cross-platform, communitydriven, open-source visualization and collaboration tool that enables users to access, display, and sha...

We describe the Sage project, a new approach to software engineering for (fault-tolerant) distributed applications. Sage uses the modal logic of knowledge and applies theoretical results detailing how processes learn facts about each other's state to derive the minimal communication graph for a wide range of coordination problems. The speciication interface is controlled, yet expressive enough ...
