Title: Critical behavior of forest fires: Theory and numerical simulations.
Creator: Lu, Huizong, Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Physics
Abstract/Description: Forest fire is an integral part of natural ecosystems. Understanding the mechanisms governing the formation and propagation of forest fire is imperative for effectively managing the natural resources of a forest and minimizing or eliminating damages caused by uncontrolled forest fire. Numerical simulation of two-dimensional forest fires indicates that there is a critical state at which the fire is likely to spread to the entire forest. The effects of wind conditions and multiple tree species...
Show moreForest fire is an integral part of natural ecosystems. Understanding the mechanisms governing the formation and propagation of forest fire is imperative for effectively managing the natural resources of a forest and minimizing or eliminating damages caused by uncontrolled forest fire. Numerical simulation of two-dimensional forest fires indicates that there is a critical state at which the fire is likely to spread to the entire forest. The effects of wind conditions and multiple tree species are studied using numerical simulations and various Mean Field Approximations. Results from the analytical calculations agree well with numerical simulations for square lattice forest fire. Other lattice structures are also investigated. Mathematical models with non-linearly coupled equations are derived to study finite, layered, pseudo-two-dimensional forest fires. Critical states can be predicted by evaluating these non-lineady coupled equations.

Title: Letter from the inside: a conventional farmer’s daughter on the need for a new agriculture.
Creator: Anderson, Stephanie, Schmitt, Kate, Florida Atlantic University, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of English
Abstract/Description: In “Letters from the Inside,” Stephanie Anderson presents a vision for sustainable, regenerative agriculture from the perspective of someone born and raised on a conventional cattle ranch. From Florida to New Mexico to the Dakotas, she traces the stories of farmers and ranchers who are already creating such an agriculture. She argues that producers, in tandem with consumers and government, hold the power to change what is currently an environmentally and socially destructive food system.

Title: MIGRANT FARMWORKERS IN AMERICA: A FLORIDA CASE STUDY.
Creator: MOHL, SANDRA MAE., Florida Atlantic University, O'Sullivan, John
Abstract/Description: Migrant farmworkers remain an important entity in American agriculture. These economically disadvantaged citizens are often repaid for grueling labor with low wages and intolerable and unsafe working conditions. The majority of migrants are provided with poor and unsanitary housing. Children of migrant parents especially suffer inadequate schooling and non-enforcement of child labor laws. Beneficial legislation is generally thwarted by agribusiness, their lobbyists, and sympathizers in the...
Show moreMigrant farmworkers remain an important entity in American agriculture. These economically disadvantaged citizens are often repaid for grueling labor with low wages and intolerable and unsafe working conditions. The majority of migrants are provided with poor and unsanitary housing. Children of migrant parents especially suffer inadequate schooling and non-enforcement of child labor laws. Beneficial legislation is generally thwarted by agribusiness, their lobbyists, and sympathizers in the state legislature and Congress. Unionization of farmworkers can accomplish better living and working conditions, but it will only come through bitter struggle. Florida has proven slow to improve the lot of migrants who toil in the state's fields and groves. Organizers and farmworkers look to the United Farm Workers and Cesar Chavez for hope and leadership. Concerned citizens are providing hopeful signs that Florida may soon produce some positive changes for migrant farmworkers.

Title: An empirical study of farm workers in South Florida: Environmental injustice in the fields?.
Creator: Murphy, Martha Celeste, Florida Atlantic University, Leip, Leslie A.
Abstract/Description: A Social Distance Model was developed for this dissertation to illustrate the marginalization of the migrant farm workers in South Florida. The social distance indicators used in the Social Distance Model are: (1) income level, (2) education level, (3) use of the dominant language, (4) property ownership, (5) laws and legal rights, and (6) race and ethnicity. These indicators demonstrate the marginalization of farm workers. This marginalization results in the creation of an occupational...
Show moreA Social Distance Model was developed for this dissertation to illustrate the marginalization of the migrant farm workers in South Florida. The social distance indicators used in the Social Distance Model are: (1) income level, (2) education level, (3) use of the dominant language, (4) property ownership, (5) laws and legal rights, and (6) race and ethnicity. These indicators demonstrate the marginalization of farm workers. This marginalization results in the creation of an occupational subgroup vulnerable to pesticide exposure, lack of protection under the law, and health problems. The four research questions which are used to illustrate this theoretical model are: (1) do the demographics of the sample population represent a marginalized subculture vulnerable to exposure to environmental hazards? (2) is there a relationship between working in the fields in two South Florida counties and exposure to pesticides? (3) are the current federal and Florida laws which protect farm workers from exposure to pesticides being properly implemented? and (4) is there a relationship between the health of farm workers in two South Florida counties and their exposure to pesticides? A survey about pesticide exposure, health problems and laws and legal rights was used to gather data about farm workers in two South Florida counties. A face-to-face, closed and open-ended survey was conducted with farm workers at several migrant farm worker day care centers in Palm Beach and Indian River County, Florida. The results of the dissertation reveal that: the negative outcomes of the Social Distance Model, which are poverty, alienation, lack of skills, economic exploitation, lack of use of the dominant language, lack of information on laws and legal rights, and few choices and alternatives for employment and housing, provide an explanation for the farm workers' marginalization. As a result of their marginalization, farm workers are an occupational group vulnerable to pesticide exposure. Another finding of the study is that federal and state laws which are currently in place to protect the workers from pesticide exposure do not adequately protect the workers from exposure to harmful pesticides and farm workers are uninformed of the laws which exist to protect them from possible pesticide exposure. Several of the health problems farm workers noted match the symptoms of moderate and mild pesticide poisoning. The results of the study demonstrate that the farm workers are disadvantaged because the majority of the farm workers: earn a yearly wage that puts them below the poverty line, do not speak English, have a minimal education level, and are uninformed about the current laws pertaining to pesticide exposure. The combination of these findings leads this researcher to the conclusion that the migrant farm workers interviewed for this study are a vulnerable subgroup of the American population, at serious risk of exposure to environmental hazards. The study concludes with policy recommendations for Florida state officials and the federal government to change and better enforce the current laws pertaining to farm workers. These changes will help the implementation and enforcement of the current laws designed to protect farm workers from pesticide exposure. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
