Florida

The Undergraduate Law Journal of Florida Atlantic University (“ULJ” and/or “Journal”) was founded in 2011 within the College of Business. Through years of persistent expansion, the Journal now serves as a hallmark platform, university-wide, for undergraduate students interested in legal academia. Starting in 2014, the Journal specifically targeted and fostered its identity as an academic journal and subsequently became an Open Access Journal through the Digital Library at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). In the same year, the Journal became an academic resource available through FAU Digital Library and the FAU Research Repository.

Documentary of the discovery, research and and efforts to protect the deep-water Oculina coral reefs off Florida.
These Oculina reefs occur exclusively off eastern Florida at depths of 300 ft, and nowhere else on earth. First discovered by Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution scientists with the Johnson-Sea-Link submersibles in 1975, they were made the first deep-water coral marine protected area in the world in 1984. Conservation efforts continue today to prevent destructive bottom trawl fisheries from fishing within the Oculina Habitat Area of Particular Concern.

This book will guide your first steps in programming in Matlab, no matter whether you want to learn it for work, fun, or just to satisfy your curiosity! Getting comfortable with the basics of programming in Matlab will be our main goal in this first of several segments that I hope to write. We will focus precisely on the things that you will need to get set up and running. You will be able to interpret simple code, and atleast be able to understand what the code’s author is trying to achieve.

The land of sunshine and flowers, luscious fruits, tropic splendors and a climate exquisitely delightful, the winters are
generously warm. Florida may also be called the State of Lakes, having within its borders 30,000 lakes, the largest of which is Lake Okeechobee, 40 miles long and 25 miles wide, in the Everglades, which alone cover an area of 5,000 square miles. Blue skies are reflected in the beauty of farflung ocean and bay, through the witchery of cool moonlit nights, when the tropical breeze whispers in the palm fronds.

Novel disturbances can increase the vulnerability of pine flatwoods to exotic
species such as Caesar’s weed (Urena lobata), a plant that has invaded many ecosystems.
To understand Caesar’s weed response to disturbance, a factorial field manipulation was
used to quantify invasion success. Influence of feral swine (Sus scrofa) on the presence of
seeds in the area was analyzed. The effect of heat on Caesar’s weed germination was also
quantified. A winter fire and mechanical soil disturbance had no statistical effect on the
spread of Caesar’s weed. However, in feral swine disturbed soils Caesar’s weed was
more likely to be husked and experience less competition from seeds of other species.
Low levels of seed heating increased germination. This data can provide information
about the influences of fire and soil disturbances on the spread of Caesar’s weed, as well
as how fire intensity levels can affect the spread of invasive Caesar’s weed.
