A spatial-temporal analysis of section 404 wetland permitting in Texas and Florida: Thirteen years of impact along the coast

Over the past 200 years, an estimated 53% (about 47 million ha) of the original wetlands in the conterminous United States have been lost, mainly as a result of various human activities. Despite the importance of wetlands (particularly along the coast), and a longstanding federal policy framework meant to protect their integrity, the cumulative impact on these natural systems over large areas is poorly understood. We address this lack of research by mapping and conducting descriptive spatial analyses of federal wetland alteration permits (pursuant to section 404 of the Clean Water Act) across 85 watersheds in Florida and coastal Texas from 1991 to 2003. Results show that more than half of the permits issued in both states (60%) fell under the Nationwide permitting category. Permits issued in Texas were typically located outside of urban areas (78%) and outside 100-year floodplains (61%). More than half of permits issued in Florida were within urban areas (57%) and outside of 100-year floodplains (51%). The most affected wetlands types were estuarine in Texas (47%) and palustrine in Florida (55%). We expect that an additional outcome of this work will be an increased awareness of the cumulative depletion of wetlands and loss of ecological services in these urbanized areas, perhaps leading to increased conservation efforts.

Looking At Residents’ Attitudes towards Spring Break Tourism in Texas through the Lens of Community Attachment

The growth of spring break tourism in many destinations has become problematic, predominantly due to the excessive behaviour of college students. This paper examines residents’ attitudes toward spring break tourism in South Padre Island (located in Texas, USA) through the lens of community attachment. By understanding the attitudes of residents of the host communities, tourism planners and policy-makers can create policies to shape the character of tourism according to the residents’ needs. The findings suggest that, at this point in time, community residents perceive that the benefits of spring break tourism benefits exceed its’ costs. Also, the short and intense season of spring break tourism allows residents to better deal with social costs.

Evaluación del rendimiento de un planificador de tareas sobre una plataforma heterogénea ARM+DSP de Texas Instruments

El presente trabajo estudia la viabilidad a la hora de aplicar un modelo de programación basado en la extracción de paralelismo a nivel de tareas sobre distintas arquitecturas heterogéneas basadas en un procesador multinúcleo de propósito general acelerado con uno o más aceleradores hardware. Se ha implementado una aplicación completa cuyo objetivo es la detección de bordes en una imagen (implementando el Algoritmo de Canny), y se ha evaluado en detalle su rendimiento sobre distintos tipos de arquitecturas, incluyendo CPUs multinúcleo de última generación, sistemas multi-GPU y una arquitectura objetivo basada en procesadores ARM Cortex-A15 acelerados mediante un DSP C66x de la compañía Texas Instruments. Los resultados experimentales demuestran la viabilidad de este tipo de implementación también para arquitecturas heterogéneas novedosas como esta última, e ilustran la facilidad de programación que introduce este tipo de modelos de programación sobre arquitecturas de propósito específico.
