Bourgeois, Gaëtan. "Les mustélidae (carnivora) du pléistocène du sud de la France : Approche paléontologique, biométrique et de morphométrie géométrique des genres Gulo, Martes, Mustela et Meles." Thesis, Perpignan, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PERP0048/document.
Full textAbstract:
Dans cette étude paléontologique, plusieurs méthodes ont été mises au point pour tester les hypothèses sur l’utilité des mustélidés en tant que signal paléoécologique, paléoenvironnemental et chronologique pour les sites préhistoriques du Paléolithique. Les genres Gulo, Martes, Mustela et Meles du Pléistocène et de l’Holocène de la moitié Sud de la France sont étudiés sous l’angle de l’anatomie comparée, de la biométrie et de la morphométrie géométrique sur un matériel très varié : crânien, dentaire et post-crânien. Les mustélidés proviennent de nombreux sites différents par leur âge, climat et altitude : Saint- Vallier, la Caune de l’Arago, Orgnac 3, le Lazaret, le Portel-Ouest, La Fage, La Marche, Siréjol, Villereversure, La Tanne du Beau Prince, la grotte des frères Traversat, Tuchan et Ambrussum. Cette approche systémique a permis de découvrir de nouveaux outils de sexage des mustélidés, sur les I3 notamment. L’indice de constriction orbitaire que nous avons établi livre une diagnose sexuelle très claire sur les blaireaux. La pente de la droite de régression des P4 et des Canines supérieures chez Mustela montre une distinction entre M. martes et M. foina. Nous confirmons la grande variabilité morphologique de ces petits Carnivores, qui reflète les environnements dans lesquels ils vivent ou ont vécu et qui est plus importante que la distinction spécifique chez Martes martes et Martes foina. De même, nous proposons Melesmeles atavus comme sous-espèce chronologique du Pléistocène moyen et présent à la Caune de l’Arago.De plus, les M. thorali, M. palerminea, M. praenivalis présentent plutôt des mandibules robustes et des dents graciles par rapport à leurs homologues actuelsIn this paleontological study, several methods have been developed to test hypotheses about the utility of mustelids as a paleoecological, palaeoenvironmental and chronological signal for prehistoric Paleolithic sites. The genera Gulo, Martes, Mustela and Meles of the Pleistocene and the Holocene of the half of the South of France are studied from the angle of comparative anatomy, biometry and geometrical morphometry on a very varied material: cranial, dental and postcranial. Mustelids come from various sites differed by age, climate and altitude: Saint-Vallier, Caune de l'Arago, Orgnac 3, Lazaret, Portel-Ouest, La Fage, La Marche, Siréjol, Villereversure, the Tanne du Beau Prince, Frères Traversat’s cave, Tuchan and Ambrussum. This systemic approach made it possible to discover new tools for sexing mustelids, particularly on I3. The post-orbital constriction index that we have established provides a very clear sexual diagnosis of badgers. The slope of the regression line of P4 and upper Canines of Mustela shows a distinction between M. martes and M. foina. We confirm the great morphological variability of these small carnivores, that reflects the environments in which they live or have lived and which is more important than the specific distinction in Martes martes and Martes foina. Similarly, we propose Meles meles atavus as a chronological subspecies of the Middle Pleistocene and present at the Caune de l'Arago. In addition, M. thorali, M. palerminea, M. praenivalis have strong mandibles and slender teeth compared to their current counterparts

Full textAbstract:
TuCSoN (Tuple Centres Spread over the Network) è un modello di coordinazione per processi distribuiti o agenti autonomi. Il modello di TuCSoN viene implementato come un middleware distribuito Java-based, distribuito Open Source sotto la licenza LGPL tramite Googlecode.
Il fatto che lo stesso sia Open Source e Java-based ha reso possibile il suo porting su Android, rendendo il noto sistema operativo di Google un possibile agente partecipante ad un sistema TuCSoN.
La tesi descrive il percorso che ha portato dallo studio dell'infrastruttura TuCSoN e del sistema Android alla realizzazione dell'applicazione Android, rendendo possibile a qualsiasi dispositivo Android di partecipare ad un sistema TuCSoN. Nel particolare l'obiettivo finale dell'applicazione Android, e di questa tesi, è rendere lo smartphone un nodo TuCSoN funzionante.
La tesi non si pone l'obiettivo di analizzare ed esplorare le funzionalità e le possibilitàa delle due tecnologie principali trattate (Android e TuCSoN) nel loro singolo, quanto quello di esplorare le criticità che un porting di questo tipo comporta, quali ad esempio le differenze intrinseche fra la JVM e la DalvikVM e come aggirarle, o le funzionalità di Android e come utilizzarle allo scopo di realizzare un applicazione che funga da server ad una infra-
struttura distribuita, oppure le differenze a livello di gestione della GUI fra Android e plain-java, e di analizzare le soluzioni trovate per risolvere (o dove non era possibile risolvere evitare) tali problemi al fine del raggiungimento dell'obiettivo che ci si era prefissati.

Citizens of El Salvador and Guatemala have experienced life-threatening situations in their native lands that have forced them to make choices in order to survive. Those choices include coming to the United States in search of political asylum. Travelling through Mexico and arriving and settling in the United States require the use of a variety of adaptive strategies. By employing kinship and friendship networks, using community services, organizing voluntary associations, learning English, and compartmentalizing their own culture while being absorbed into the larger Mexican and Anglo cultures, they are able to meet their needs. Of those who come to Tucson, many leave due to difficulties in finding jobs and the lack of affordable legal aid. Those who stay do so because they are awaiting court dates, desire to remain close to their families or have been successful in finding work.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this study was to create a reference of historically identifiable eras in plant use and landscape design in Tucson between 1854 and 1960. Determination of plant use eras was based on a combination of factors: (1) significant events, (2) technological advancements, (3) the number of species identified during specific time frames, (4) changes in plant collection patterns, and (5) new design trends. Five major landscape plant use eras are identified: the Anglo Settlement Era (1854-1879), the Railroad Era (1880-1899), the Post Victorian Era (1900-1917), the Post World War I and Depression Era (1918-1938), and the World War II and Suburban Expansion Era (1939-1960). Plant introduction peaked between 1900 and 1917. Following that time, tree introductions declined significantly and shrub introductions increased.

Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone ProjectTucson is a reflection of the inefficient transportation system of the United States. The city’s auto centric emphasis is resulting in a collection of unhealthy citizens, endlessly investing into constructing unaccommodating infrastructure and contributes to the degradation of the natural environment. In order to correct these issues facing Tucson, the city must encourage more active transportation. By using case studies of other American cities- Portland, Minneapolis, and Austin- Tucson can learn some strategies that have been successful. Portland, Minneapolis and Austin have all effectively created active transportation systems utilizing various techniques. Creating a safe built environment, constructing a connected network and introducing equity amongst all forms of transportation can encourage more participation of active transportation in Tucson. By adopting the strategies used by Portland, Minneapolis and Austin, Tucson can produce a successful active transportation system and furthermore, create a healthier population, an efficient economy, and reduce the degrading environmental behavior that all exist today.

Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone ProjectThis study will focus on the implementation of Complete streets in Tucson, AZ and the associated impacts and requirements needed to successfully integrate these projects into the community. As a city predominantly catering towards the automobile, the majority of roads in Tucson lack the fundamentals of non-automobile transit and pedestrian use. With many other forms of transportation available, the city of Tucson must accommodate these other forms of transit to create a well-rounded, strengthened community. Helping accommodate a larger percentage of the total population, the implementation of complete streets would offer safe access for its pedestrian, bicyclist, motorist and transit users at the same time. By creating a community that can effortlessly move and travel by a variety of means, the addition of complete streets in Tucson would yield countless social, economic and environmental benefits. While the implementation of complete streets seems like a worthwhile investment in any community, there are many logistics that play a role in the feasibility of similar projects. With issues such as construction size, time, cost and communal acceptance, complete streets must overcome a number of challenges before taking shape. Through study and analysis, this study will answer the question of how the Tucson community can successfully incorporate complete streets with sufficient funding and backing by the community. Through analysis of other project cases and various data acquisition, this study will focus on a successful complete street proposal for the city of Tucson.

Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone ProjectIn a society growing towards alternative modes of transportation, this study explores the phase 2 streetcar expansion for the Tucson area. Using case studies and research articles, a criteria of factors were created to best judge three predetermined expansion routes. A case study was then done on these routes to determine which route would be best for the area. In this study, the factors that were looked at and used to rank the three routes included; population density and average annual income of the surrounding area of the route (400 meter buffer), accessibility and connectivity, which includes; bus stops, bike lanes, walkability, traffic counts and possible park & ride development. The last factor used in the case study was proximity to destination, specifically how many ‘big destinations’ (destinations that experience high volumes of people) each route had. The proximity to destination factor also determined how good of a balance each route had with housing, work and amenities/leisure destinations.

The eyesight of birds is essential for their survival in a free environment; tiny alteration in this organ may cause loss of vision, consequently the difficulty or even the impossibility to hunt, move or protect themselves from predators; due to these particularities, the objective of this paper was to know the normal rate of intra-ocular pressure (IOP) and to identify the ocular anatomy through sonographic biometry in B-scan through transpalpebral way, so the ophthalmic examination can be complete and reliable. It was valued the IOP of 15 Toco Toucans (Ramphatos toco) and 15 Red-breasted Toucan (Ramphastos dicolorus) through applanation tonometry, using a Tono-Pen VET® tonometer and executed sonographic biometry ocular in 5 Toucans Toco and in 5 Red-breasted Toucan. The IOP from Toco Toucans, reliable in 95% got the media between 13,79 mmHg to17,61 mmHg, while the Red-breasted Toucan got the IOP between 12,05 mmHg and 16,81 mmHg. The ocular ultrasound eye was efficient as it could identify the previous segment, the lens, the posterior segment, positioning of the retina, Pecten and retrobulbar space. The Toco Toucans sonographic biometry obtained the bulbar average axial length of 1,66 cm, axial shaft of anterior segment 0,25 cm, shaft axial lens 0,35 cm axial shaft of posterior segment 1,05 cm, transverse shaft of the posterior segment 2,20 cm, transverse shaft of the lens 1,21 cm, and in Red-breasted Toucan the bulbar average axial length of 1,29 cm, axial shaft of anterior segment 0,10 cm, axial shaft lens 0,40 cm axial shaft of posterior segment 0,79 cm, shaft transverse of the posterior segment 1,39 cm, shaft transverse of the lens 0,99 cm. It follows that it is possible to measure IOP by tonometry with Tono-pen VET® tonometer and ocular sonographic biometry the B-scan transpalpebral, route is feasible for these species.A visão das aves é fundamental para a sua sobrevivência em vida livre, pequenas alterações neste órgão, podem levar a perda da acuidade visual, consequentemente dificuldade ou mesmo impossibilidade em caçar, se locomover ou se defender de predadores. Devido a estas particularidades, o objetivo deste trabalho foi o de conhecer o valor normal da pressão intraocular (PIO) e identificar a anatomia ocular por meio da ecobiometria em modo B pela via transpalpebral, tornando o exame oftálmico mais completo e fidedigno. Foi avaliada a PIO de 15 Tucanos-toco (Ramphastos toco) e de 15 Tucanos-de-bico-verde (Ramphastos dicolorus) por meio da tonometria de aplanação, usando o tonômetro Tono-Pen VET®. Foi realizado ecobiometria ocular em 5 Tucanos-toco e 5 Tucanos-de-bico-verde. A PIO dos Tucanos-toco com 95% de confiança teve uma média entre 13,79 mmHg e 17,61 mmHg, já os Tucanos-de-bico-verde tiveram a PIO entre 12,05 mmHg e 16,81 mmHg. A ecografia ocular se mostrou eficiente pois foram identificados o segmento anterior, a lente, o segmento posterior, o posicionamento da retina, o pécten e o espaço retrobulbar. Na ecobiometria foram obtidos nos Tucanos-toco média do eixo axial bulbar de 1,66 cm, eixo axial do segmento anterior 0,25 cm, eixo axial do segmento posterior 1,05 cm, eixo transversal do segmento posterior 2,20 cm, eixo axial da lente 0,35 cm e eixo transversal da lente 1,21 cm, e nos Tucanos-de-bico-verde a média do eixo axial bulbar de 1,29 cm, eixo axial do segmento anterior 0,10 cm, eixo axial do segmento posterior 0,79 cm, eixo transversal do segmento posterior 1,39 cm, eixo axial da lente 0,40 cm e eixo transversal da lente 0,99 cm. Conclui-se que é possível mensurar a PIO por meio da tonometria de aplanação com o tonômetro Tono-pen VET® e que a ecobiometria ocular, em modo B pela via transpalpebral é viável para estas espécies.

Full textAbstract:
Hispanic ownership of businesses has existed in Tucson prior to the Gadsden Purchase of 1854, which allowed the United States to acquire Tucson and part of Southern Arizona. Although ranching and agriculture were main sources of income for this group of pioneer settlers, they were able to diversify their wealth into other sectors of the economy. As the Hispanic population became integrated into American society, an evolution of minority identity towards business ownership occurred. Starting in the twentieth century, Mexican Americans tended to operate mostly in the service industry, such as barber shops and grocery stores. There were a few Hispanic lawyers and doctors. However, their numbers were small in compañson to the growing Mexican American and Anglo populations.
The Great Depression of the 1930s affected many of these agriculturally oriented Hispanic families. By the 1940s, more
Mexican Americans and Anglos were arriving to the area in search of employment. By the 1980s, a trend was evident of a
service sector economy for the Tucson labor market. Most of the twenty Hispanic entrepreneurs interviewed for this study
were first or second generation Tucsonans, The pioneer Hispanic families are no longer at the forefront of business
opportunities. Instead, sonic of the offspring from these pioneer families have gone into other fields or enterprises in order to develop their own entrepreneurial identity. Some of the interviewees that are descendants of these "latecomers" are undecided as to whether they want their children to enter the family business. As a consequence, some of these
establishments may end in the next twenty to thirty years. A cycle of continual Hispanic "latecomers" operating businesses may develop in the Tucson area. The consequence could be the lack of a solid economic base for the Hispanic business community.

Widespread rehabilitation of historic residential properties in Tucson, Arizona offers numerous benefits to the community. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Property provides the best practical guidelines for the rehabilitation of historic landscapes, currently. However, interpreting national guidelines for use on local projects is necessary before widespread application can occur. Accordingly, the first section of this work addresses means by which the national standards might be applied to landscape rehabilitation of residential properties in Tucson, including mid to small-scale residences and historic houses of more recent construction. Because these homes often lack traditional sources of documentation, expanding research options within the design process is often necessary. The second part of this work utilizes suggested research options, including academic and non-academic sources, to synthesize information regarding local historic residential landscape practices useful in interpretive and design processes of historic landscape rehabilitation projects.

Coyotes (Canis latrans) are common in many urban areas in North America, but little is known about how they adapt to urbanization. I studied the way they use the urban landscape by determining the patch types chosen for foraging, travelling, and resting. Home ranges encompassed a smaller proportion of natural areas and a greater proportion of parks and residential areas than were available in Tucson. Rates of nocturnal movement by coyotes peaked at midnight and at dawn. Natural areas, parks, and residential areas were used most by coyotes throughout the night, but rates of movement did not differ among these patch types. I created a GIS (geographic information system) model to predict the presence or absence of coyotes in all patch types throughout Tucson. The model indicates that most areas in Tucson are likely to be used by coyotes; it may be refined by adding new variables and by examining these variables at a finer spatial scale. Studies have not documented the health of coyotes in urban areas, where they may be reservoirs of disease for domestic canids. I determined the prevalence of pathogens, estimated survival rates, and identified sources of mortality. The prevalence of canine distemper virus was 27%, the prevalence of infectious canine hepatitis was 50%, the prevalence of canine parvovirus was 100%, and the prevalence of leptospirosis was 27%. The annual survival rate of coyotes was 0.72. Most necropsied coyotes were killed by humans. Coyotes in urban areas come into conflict with humans. Few humans have been attacked by coyotes, but small pets are susceptible to attack. The primary means of deterring coyotes from areas where their presence is unwanted is by eliminating all sources of food and water. The urban-dwelling public must become better educated about coyotes to minimize human-coyote conflicts.

Full textAbstract:
The Tucson International Airport Area (TIAA) Superfund site is an approximately ten square mile area in southeast Tucson, Pima County, Arizona in which several known contaminated water plumes have been identified, which are the result of improper disposal of industrial waste from multiple sources during the past sixty years. The most prominent of these contaminants are 1, 4-dioxane, hexavalent Chromium, and trichloroethylene (TCE), which exist in varying concentrations throughout the site. Groundwater contamination in Tucson was first identified in the 1950’s; however TIAA was not recognized as a Federal Superfund site until 1982. Since then, much work has been carried out in an attempt to fully understand and remediate the contamination in the area. This study focusses on four areas within the TIAA: Samsonite North, Aero Park Blvd South (EW line), Aero Park Blvd South (NS line), and EPA-03. Several geophysical techniques have been used to understand the subsurface structure in the area and to better understand the contamination plume and its movement. Using the Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) technique at three sites: Samsonite North, Aero Park Blvd South (NS line and EW line), and EPA-03, it was found that there was a low-resistivity region going through the EPA-03 site, two low-resistivity regions through Aero Park Blvd South (NS line), and three low-resistivity zones through Aero Park Blvd South (EW line). These channels were consistent with the overall orientation of water flow in the region which is toward the Northwest. These zones may indicate higher moisture content, and this may be caused by porous, water-filled channels passing through the sites. These zones could also indicate non-porous clay-rich regions, which would also be low resistivity. The effect of a pipeline on the measurements in the Samsonite North area made it difficult to reach any useful conclusions at this site.

Full textAbstract:
Transient Electromagnetic (TEM), Controlled Source Audio Magnetotellurics (CSAMT), Gravity, and Magnetic data were collected in the Tucson Mountains during the Spring semester, 2011. The goal was to investigate the extent of a low-resistivity porous sedimentary layer and faults that may form potential traps located under the surface volcanic layers, as interpreted by Lipman 1993. The sedimentary layer under the volcanics has the potential to be used for either water resources or compressed air storage to store solar energy. The results from the TEM and CSAMT surveys broadly correlated with the thickness of the volcanic layer and throw of the faults interpreted by Lipman, 1993. The gravity modeling suggested the faults may have a larger throw than what was indicated by the other methods. Because of the fundamental uncertainty in the densities to use in the modeling, it was concluded that the gravity modeling may not give as accurate a prediction of the structure in this region. For further investigation of the deep porous sedimentary layer, we suggest that TEM and CSAMT are the most effective methods.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation focuses on Derechos Humanos, Humane Borders and Samaritans, three Tucson, Arizona-based groups that seek to reduce the deaths of migrants illegally crossing into the United States from Mexico. Though the groups themselves are not religions, they use religious symbolism as part of their public rhetoric, arguing that immigrants are entitled to treatment and protection according to standards that are universal and pan-human. By advocating for the rights of immigrants regardless of their documentation, these groups have set off a wave of controversy that illustrates a significant contradiction in modernity. One the one hand, the modern idea of progress has been rationalized by organizing populations in the form of nation-states, yet modernity has also seen the spread of human rights and humanitarian philosophies stressing the fundamental unity of people irrespective of nationality. As a result, immigrant advocates have been both pilloried as traitors or criminals and praised as ethical visionaries. Based on participant-observation and interviews with members of these three organizations, I argue that although immigrant advocates are comfortable using nation-state-based identities, they do not prioritize them. Rather, they use religious meanings to express the need for a supranational paradigm of value that can guide polities of any scale.

New varieties are introduced each year and unbiased yield comparisons are helpful to the grower to base the decision of whether or not to sow a new variety. The study reported here is part of the on-going effort to evaluate alfalfa variety performance in Arizona.

Domestic abuse is nationwide and present in Tucson, Ariz. It also is not a heterosexual phenomenon, and the LGBT community is just as likely to experience domestic abuse, according to interview sources and research. Interviews were conducted with staff at a Tucson-based domestic abuse shelter and LGBT community center, victims and other locals to create two news features. The first story details one victim’s abusive relationship and offers context with background information on domestic abuse. The second story focuses on the challenges the Tucson LGBT community faces in combatting domestic abuse. The news features were packaged together with sidebars and photos to simulate the construction of a magazine.

Lo scopo della tesi è esplorare il nuovo dualismo tra calcolo situato e calcolo come mero servizio immateriale che si osserva nel rafforzarsi di due paradigmi apparentemente antitetici come Cloud Computing e Pervasive Computing. Si vuole quindi dimostrare che i due paradigmi sono complementari, e possibilmente sviluppare un modello e un approccio metodologico per sistemi distribuiti che sfrutti opportunamente le caratteristiche dei due paradigmi. A tale scopo si utilizzerà come caso di studio il modello TuCSoN con linguaggio ReSpecT, combinando opportunamente Situated ReSpecT con il modello Coordination as a Service (CaaS) espresso da TuCSoN on Cloud.

In 2000, Proposition 203 was passed by Arizona voters, dismantling bilingual education programs in public school, and requiring English-only instructional environments for English Language Learners. This study analyzes teacher and administrator perspectives on bilingual education and the implementation of Proposition 203 in Tucson, Arizona. Five experienced educators working in public schools within the Tucson Unified School District were recruited and interviewed for the purpose of this study. A total of seven open-ended questions were addressed, covering topics including, but not limited to bilingual education, the implementation and execution of Proposition 203, and methods of lecture delivery in the mainstream and segregated classroom. Testimonies revealed the ineffectiveness of English-only instructional methods and the need to restore bilingual education in Tucson, Arizona.

Full textAbstract:
A Thesis submitted to The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine.Background: One out of every three cancer diagnoses is a skin cancer, and the incidence of both melanoma and non‐melanoma type skin cancers is increasing. Skin cancers, including melanoma, are typically treatable if detected early. However, there is insufficient evidence to support recommendations to establish population based skin cancer screening programs. The specific aims of this study are 1) to evaluate characteristics of participants who attend a community skin cancer screening event and who are referred for follow up due to suspicious lesions, 2) to determine the proportion of participants with suspicious lesions identified at a community skin cancer screening event who complied with a request to visit a dermatologist or primary care physician, and 3) to evaluate attitudes toward sun protection practices, and perceived risk of developing skin cancer among participants who attend a community skin cancer screening and have a suspicious skin lesion. Methods: The Skin Cancer Institute sponsored a series of community skin cancer screening events in Tucson, Arizona from 2006 to 2013. Participants completed an American Academy of Dermatology screening form prior to a skin examination by a dermatologist. Participants with suspicious lesions identified at the examination who agreed to be contacted again received questionnaires 4 months after the initial screening to assess compliance with follow‐up recommendations, and their sun protection practices and risk perceptions. Results: 1979 community members attended the skin cancer screenings. The majority of the participants were Caucasian, females, had blue eyes and brown hair, were college educated, had no prior personal or family history of skin cancer, had health insurance but did not have a regular dermatologist, reported that they had never been to a skin cancer screening before, and stated that without this screening that they would not have their skin examined. 748 (37.8%) of community members were referred and instructed to see a dermatologist for further evaluation of a skin lesion. Of the 441 participants with a suspicious lesion who consented to participate in the follow‐up study, 120 returned a questionnaire; 90 (75%) reported that they followed up with a dermatologist or physician, and 30 (25%) did not. Of the 90 participants who followed up, 53% received a skin biopsy. The self reported diagnoses from the biopsies of the suspicious skin lesions were the following: 1% atypical or dysplastic nevus, 21% actinic keratosis, 16% basal cell carcinoma, 8% squamous cell carcinoma, 2% melanoma, and 38% did not have skin cancer. Conclusions/Impact: This study demonstrated that 38% of community skin cancer screening participants were referred for follow up due to a suspicious skin lesion being identified during a skin cancer screening event. It also appeared that 75% of those who responded to the follow‐up questionnaire complied with the request within four months, although the response rate for the follow‐up questionnaire was low. Therefore, implementing a formal reminder system following the skin cancer screenings may increase the percentage of participants who follow up with a primary care physician or dermatologist after the screening for further evaluation of their suspicious skin lesion.

Full textAbstract:
An overview is presented of anthropology's interest in voluntary association, from the classical influences and studies to sociological and anthropological work that illustrate recent trends from the last decade. Information is presented from the author's fieldwork with the Tucson Homeless Union and the Southern Arizona Coalition for the Homeless that describes the homeless situation in Tucson and the efforts of these groups, whose members share a dedication to improving conditions for socioeconomically marginal people through activist means of protest and civil disobedience. Marked by fluidity of membership and unique internal dynamics, these groups present a special case-study of voluntary associations as a means of urban adaptation through self-help and as a vehicle for social change. It is demonstrated how and examination of the values expressed by the existence and actions of these associations is useful in understanding the nature of society and the stability of the political system.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis sets forth aquifer conditions in the Catalina Basin, north of Tucson, Arizona. Historically, this area has not experienced significant urban development and no serious attempt has been made to determine either the extent of local groundwater reserves or the potential yield of the Catalina aquifer system. To address these issues, the geology of the basin fill units was defined through the construction and lithologic logging of two test holes, each 1200-feet deep. In addition, test data from three local wells were analyzed to determine that the local aquifer has a transmissivity averaging 50,000 gpd/ft and a specific yield of 15 percent. With this information, the USGS computer program MODFLOW was used to construct a transient state model of the Catalina aquifer system. The model was then employed to compute the expected drawdown throughout the area which would result from full urbanization.

This project represents a case analysis of the Tucson and Southern Arizona environments for the commercialization of university-developed innovations and technologies. The focus is on the successfully launched solar-tech company REhnu, and how the venture has successfully licensed university intellectual property. Founded in 2009 by Dr. Roger Angel, REhnu uses a systems approach of parabolic mirrors that concentrates direct solar radiation 1200 times to a small set of multi-junction concentrating photovoltaic cells. The primary goals of the venture include building giga-watt farms and achieving cost parity with fossil fuels by 2020. This project’s qualitative research methods included semi-structured interviews with individuals from REhnu, the University of Arizona, and the Pima County Government. Combined with descriptive research utilizing electronic resources, one of the most pertinent challenges observed was a divergence of beliefs between certain academic and business communities. The summation of all observations generated the following recommendations for Tech Launch Arizona (TLA): I. Promote University of Arizona main campus as “Visibility Hub” for innovation II. Build long-term relationships within University of Arizona scientific communities III. Develop a transparent organizational structure with clear mandates and sufficient funding

This research explores downtown redevelopment in Tucson, Arizona to investigate who is imagined as the constituent for the redeveloped spaces of downtown Tucson. Drawing from various cases (primarily between 2010-2013), this study resonates with significant contributions of urban geographers to understand the ways that various forms of urban governance, placed subjectivities and political economy help to produce U.S. cities. This research provides a trialectic understanding of forces shaping downtown redevelopment, powers of: social memory; city policies and mechanisms; and economic investment. These forces constantly appear throughout the remaining pages and are informed by each other at times in reactive ways while in other moments in conciliatory ways. Each of these forces--social memory, city policies and mechanisms, and economic development--circulate within a complex of social relations and each, in varying ways (re)produces administrative and institutional norms and juridical regulations.
