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

Title: Economic evaluation of nitrate in groundwater : A contingent valuation survey in Northwest Florida.
Creator: Carmen J. Lyttle-N'Guessan
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 moreA 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 foundation for the payment vehicle. The major determinants of WTP appear to be education, perception of existing water quality and the attitudes of respondents towards the environment. However, WTP responses may vary temporally and spatially with differences in demographics and goods and services valued.

Show moreThis study specifically aims to illuminate the black attorneys’ experience in post—Civil War Florida by focusing on the complex careers of four black lawyers who began their careers during Reconstruction. The discussion will familiarize the reader with the immense obstacles that deterred African American attorneys from gaining prominence and the struggles endured by black lawyers throughout the South. As true regionally, the majority of Florida's legal professionals could not afford to practice law exclusively and had to pursue other careers as their main source of income. Politics often emerged as the career of choice for black lawyers. As public figures these men accomplished remarkable feats and flourished as leaders of the black community.8 This essay, in a larger sense, attempts to provide fresh and helpful information concerning the black 7 See generally, Foner, Freedom ’s Lawmakers; Brown, Florida ’s ‘Black Public Oﬂicialsg Richardson, Negro in the Reconstruction of Florida. 8 See generally, Richardson, The Negro in the Reconstruction of Florida; Woodson, The Negro Professional and the Community; Ward, Black Physicians in the Jim Crow South; Shofner, Nor Is It Over Yet.

Title: Analysis and comparison of current project delivery systems where the architect has a role as a team member and how the team can be utilized by the State University System of Florida in achieving its architectural and construction goals.
Creator: Donald M. Williams
Abstract/Description: 1. 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.

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

Title: 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. Historic water quality data...
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 moreBlack women have contributed greatly to the healthcare needs of the United States. Women have acted in the capacity of nurses and doctors, caring for and healing people. The many black women currently in the nursing profession and the increase in black women physicians speak to this fact. Unfortunately, the lack of work on the subject shows that most scholars are not aware of this reality. This study, which focuses on the state of Florida, tells the story of the first black female physician, the first black female registered nurse, and the first nurse training program for blacks in the state. This study hopes to show that these black female healthcare pioneers and the healthcare institution played an integral role in the growth and welfare of black citizens and thus the development of the United States. Their work needs to be recognized because they took on a responsibility in a hostile environment created and sustained by the United States, but ultimately overcame obstacles nonetheless and made a lasting impact on the people and time in which they lived.
