Book A Multi Year Analysis of Passage and Survival at McNary Dam  2004 09

Download or read book A Multi Year Analysis of Passage and Survival at McNary Dam 2004 09 written by U.S. Department of the Interior and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As juvenile salmon Oncorhynchus spp. and steelhead O. mykiss migrate downriver to the ocean, they are subject to both natural- and human-induced mortality. Avian and piscivorous predators contribute to total natural mortality along with other factors (Vigg and others, 1991; Collis and others, 2001). Hydroelectric projects on the Snake and Columbia Rivers also can be major sources of mortality for migrating juvenile fish. Impoundments caused by dams may indirectly contribute to salmonid mortality by slowing the migration of juvenile salmonids (Raymond 1968, 1979; Plumb and others, 2006), thereby increasing energy expenditure during migration and allowing greater opportunity for predation. Furthermore, passage through dams can be a major source of direct mortality (Mesa, 1994; Whitney and others, 1997) that is cumulative for salmonid populations that negotiate multiple dams.

Book Intercultural Competence in Higher Education

Download or read book Intercultural Competence in Higher Education written by Darla K. Deardorff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intercultural Competence in Higher Education features the work of scholars and international education practitioners in understanding the learning outcomes of internationalization, moving beyond rhetoric to concrete practice around the world. Devoted exclusively to exploring the central learning outcomes of internationalization efforts, this edited volume contains a refreshing combination of chapters and case studies from interdisciplinary and cross-cultural contributors, including: cutting-edge issues within intercultural competence development, such as intersectionality, mapping intercultural competence, and assessment; the role of higher education in developing intercultural competence for peacebuilding in the aftermath of violent conflict; facilitating intercultural competence through international student internships; interdisciplinary and cross-cultural contributions from over 19 countries including Japan, Russia, Serbia, South Africa, and Vietnam; the latest research and thinking on global, intercultural, and international learning outcomes, with a unique emphasis on newer voices. Intercultural competence has become an essential element in international as well as domestic education. This text provides the latest thinking and research within the context of internationalization, presents practical case studies on how to integrate this into the preparation of global-ready students and will be of interest to postgraduate students, international education administrators, and practitioners, as well as scholars and researchers in a variety of disciplines who have an interest in intercultural and global competence.

Book Platelet Rich Plasma in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine

Download or read book Platelet Rich Plasma in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine written by Eduardo Anitua and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art summary of platelet rich plasmas (PRPs) in the field of regenerative medicine. The book begins with an overview of the basic science behind PRP, describing the role of platelets and growth factors followed by the most important biological effects expected from the use of PRPs. Platelet Rich Plasma in Orthopaedics, Sports Medicine and Maxillofacial Surgery includes numerous contributions detailing the current use of PRPs in clinical practice. From the origins in oral and maxillofacial surgery, to the latest advances in orthopaedics and sports medicine including the use of Platelet Rich Growth Factors (PRGF) in muscle, bone, tendon, ligament and nerve injuries, this book provides a wide scope of the topic. The volume concludes with chapters from experts in biology, orthopaedics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, where the convergence of expertise is leading to unprecedented insights into how to minutely control the in vivo fate and function of PRGF. This book will provide a useful resource for physicians and researchers interested in learning more about this rapidly growing area of biomedical treatment.
