Targeting vulnerable life-stages of Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) with prescribed burns

Wong, Bryant M.; Houseman, Gregory R.; Hinman, Sarah E.; Foster, Bryan L. (WEED SCI SOC AMER, 2012-10)

There is growing interest in whether invasive species may be controlled by utilizing management strategies that target vulnerable life stages. We manipulated the timing of fire and measured its effects on sericea lespedeza ...

Task and effector constraints on the kinematics of pointing movements

Bohan, Michael; McConnell, Daniel; Thompson, Shelby; Chaparro, Alex (2005-08)

Recent work has emphasized the distinction between task and effector constraints underlying performance in Fitts' type discrete pointing tasks. We explored the relative contributions of these constraints in a cursor-pointing ...
