Abstract/Description
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes of Leon County home gardeners towards Integrated OPest Management (IPM) strategies,as not much is known to what extent IPM is being practiced. This could provide information that would enable extension specialists to make the program more attractive or serve as an evaluation process in research applicable to home gardening.

Show moreThe main purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes of Leon County home gardeners towards Integrated OPest Management (IPM) strategies,as not much is known to what extent IPM is being practiced. This could provide information that would enable extension specialists to make the program more attractive or serve as an evaluation process in research applicable to home gardening. To achieve this purpose, four objectives were developed. Data were collected by a mailed questionnaire. From a sample of 100 gardeners, 45 responses (45 percent) were received. Analysis of data included frequency distributions, percent responses, chi-square and one-way analysis of variance scores. The major findings of this study were: 1. There were only 6 (13 percent) of the respondents who have heard of "Integrated Pest Management (IPM)"; but further findings revealed that most of them used IPM practices without realizing that those were strategies for ix an integrated approach to pest management. 2. Of the six who were aware of IPM, most of them said that it is somewhat effective as they had derived benefits in increase yields, health consideration and reduction in chemical expenses. 3. Participants with a higher level of education (above 12th grade) were more knowledgeable of IPM practices. Those with garden size plots of less than 1000 square feet, practiced more of the IPM strategies. 4. There were no significant differences between implementing IPM strategies with the selected demographic variables of age, years of gardening experience, or the number of people in the family

Abstract/Description
A double-bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation survey was administered to 2,000 residents of Franklin and Gulf Counties, Florida, with the objective of documenting any bias as a result of the institutional basis in the hypothetical payment vehicle. The mean willingness to pay (WTP) estimates for state and private payment vehicles are $4.39 and $5.08 per month respectively, significantly different at the 0.15 level. This is evidence of the importance in choosing the institutional...

Show more1. Abstract The process of delivering architecture has taken on many new faces-faces which now include the contractor, architect and owner as integral participants in the overall delivery of a project. With these new changing faces have come new roles and responsibilities for each of the major players to include the addition of other players. These changes have caused the birth of construction managers and engineers who play integral roles in the delivery of the project. With the addition of these players come new delivery methods that try to build on the traditional design- bid—construct method. These new methods of Construction Management (CM) and Design Build (DB), are slowly becoming the choice methods of major sponsors both private and public. Because these methods offer the client a faster delivery time and more control of cost than the traditional delivery method, owners are rushing to make use of the benefits of these methods. Therefore, the owner must make choices about how to rate these methods and select one which will fit their needs. The State University System (SUS) of Florida is an owner large enough to use all three of these methods. It makes choices based on project criteria, rules, regulations, politics, economics, time, efficiency and laws about which method it will and can use. This thesis will investigate the SUS’s criteria used for the selection of one of these delivery methods. Then it will compare how these and other potential alternative methods could be used by the SUS. The investigation will yield some insight into how these systems (Design-Bid, DB and CM) relate to each other in similar building types and the similar types of organizations which are needed to back these systems. It is my belief that these project delivery systems perform very differently under very similar conditions. i also believe that these delivery systems do not perform to their full potential if they are ill matched to the project scope and needs. This thesis will then make an assessment on whether the

Determination of historic geochemistry and tropic alternations of Apalachicola, FL.
Creator
Donatto Surratt
Abstract/Description
Land use changes are shown to alter the balance of sources and sinks of coastal systems and these alterations are often preserved in the sediment records. In the Apalachicola Bay, productivity has been dependent on freshwater discharge from the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River Basin. Alterations to ACF watershed flow by diversions constructed since the 1950s and localized disturbances (i.e., dredging, urbanization) threaten the productivity of the bay.

Show moreLand use changes are shown to alter the balance of sources and sinks of coastal systems and these alterations are often preserved in the sediment records. In the Apalachicola Bay, productivity has been dependent on freshwater discharge from the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River Basin. Alterations to ACF watershed flow by diversions constructed since the 1950s and localized disturbances (i.e., dredging, urbanization) threaten the productivity of the bay. Historic water quality data indicates that salinity has increased by ~40% bay-wide. The first objective of this research was to test the hypothesis that profiles for C, N, and P concentrations and 813C and SISN stable isotopic signatures could be applied to benchmark historic natural and anthropogenic activity with in the bay. The second objective was to test the hypothesis that historic nutrient data from cores could be used to assess bay wide productivity, based on phytoplankton biomass, using niche modeling techniques. Our approach to evaluate the first hypothesis was 1) compare historic (past 50 years) river discharge patterns and mass sedimentation rates to C, N, and P concentration and 513 C and ESISN stable isotopic profiles at the river mouth; 2) differentiate between riverine organic matter (OM) and re-suspended OM depositions

Show moreThis thesis study is in four major chapters; a phenomenological study about the feeling of a studio, a programmatic study about the impact of the project in the community, and an analytical study of actual studios. These studies will be implemented in the final design of An Art Community for Tallahassee. Studio as feeling is a subjective phenomenological study of the roles of the studio environment. The environment suggest certain generators that can be applied to architecture. The programmatic is a general facility program for a proposal of an Art Community in Tallahassee. It faces the general design and cultural issues that are involved when this type of project is placed in a community. The analytical study is a post occupancy evaluation of the artist community within Railroad Square. It investigates the spaces and the activities of individual studios.

Show moreJuvenile intake screening facilities and juvenile detention centers assess and detain youth who have committed a delinquent or criminal act. The performance goals for these facilities are SECURITY, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE, and STAFF AND YOUTH COMFORT. These goals complement each other, however, usually due to limited budgets, issues of comfort are not always implemented. This report examines comfort issues as related to juvenile intake screening facilities and admission/release area of juvenile detention centers. The psychological goals which address comfort issues in intake screening facilities and juvenile detention centers are: REDUCE TENSION, REDUCE ANXIETY, provide a NON-THREATENING ATMOSPHERE, REDUCE CHANCES OF CONFLICT, reduce or increase the PERCEPTION OF TIME, reduce or increase the PERCEPTION OF SPACE, MAINTAIN STAFF CONTROL, and increase COMMUNICATION AMONG STAFF. The comfort issues examined in this report are related to: PROXEMICS, FURNITURE, NATURAL LIGHT, PRIVACY, and CHOICE. The results of this report indicate that architectural elements relating to staff and youth comfort be incorporated in intake screening facilities and juvenile detention centers. The benefits of incorporating comfort issues can be applied to the remaining areas of juvenile detention centers, and to other residential juvenile delinquent program facilities.
