Pharmacological Differentiation Of Species-Typical And Instrumental Responding In Mice With Septal Lesions/, Anne E. Powell Jan 1982

Pharmacological Differentiation Of Species-Typical And Instrumental Responding In Mice With Septal Lesions/, Anne E. Powell

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

The effect of the dopaminergic drugs amphetamine and pimozide on reinforced and non-reinforced species-typical responding was observed in normal mice and mice with lesions of the septal area. In Experiment 1 amphetamine increased wheel running in the reinforced groups with septal lesioned subjects showing greater enhancement than normal animals. Amphetamine depressed wheel running in non-reinforced septal animals and had no effect on non-reinforced normals. Pimozide decreased wheel running in all groups. In Experiment 2, amphetamine increased string pulling in reinforced normal and septal lesioned mice, but this increase was not dose dependent. Non-reinforced septal and normal animals exhibited amphetamine induced …


Effects Of Hysterectomy On Sexual Receptivity, Food Intake, Running Wheel Activity, And Hypothalamic Estrogen And Progestin Receptors In Rats., Harry Ahdieh Jan 1982

Effects Of Hysterectomy On Sexual Receptivity, Food Intake, Running Wheel Activity, And Hypothalamic Estrogen And Progestin Receptors In Rats., Harry Ahdieh

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

The effects of hysterectomy on several hormone-dependent behaviors and on neural estrogen and progestin receptors were studied in a series of experiments in rats. Ovariectomized-hysterectomized (OH) rats given sequential treatments with 2 yg estradiol benzoate (EB) and .5 mg progesterone (P) showed significantly higher lordosis quotients than ovariectomized (OV) rats in two tests, one and two weeks after surgery. To test whether the effects of hysterectomy persist, 3 groups of OV and OH rats received weekly injections of EB, EB plus P, or sesame oil vehicle for 4 weeks, were then given 2 yg EB followed 24 hr later by …


Definitions Of Political Power: A Case Study., Thomas F. Gilmartin Jan 1982

Definitions Of Political Power: A Case Study., Thomas F. Gilmartin

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

The issue of busing to achieve desegregation of the Boston public school system has its roots in the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decisions in 1954 and 1955. Those decisions in Brown vs. Board of Education, (347 U.S. 483 of 1954)^ and the findings a year later in Brown vs. Board of 2 Education, (349, U.S. 254) were the official beginnings of a struggle between federal courts and communities charged with desegregation of their schools.


Satisfying And Unsatisfying Therapy Relationships Between Women: Female Therapists' Perspectives/, Sandra B. Levy Jan 1982

Satisfying And Unsatisfying Therapy Relationships Between Women: Female Therapists' Perspectives/, Sandra B. Levy

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

Two areas which have received insufficient attention in the psychological research literature are gender-pair related issues in psychotherapy and the therapeutic relationship. A joint consideration of psychoanalytic and feminist theory suggests that the quality of intimacy established between women in psychotherapy will impact upon therapists' perceptions of relationship satisfaction and treatment outcome. In particular, the interrelated dimensions of nurturance and individuation are pointed to by the theoretical literature as salient in defining the nature of intimacy in the female/female therapy relationship.


Eye Guidance In Extrafoveal Choice Reaction., Robert Earl Morrison Jan 1982

Eye Guidance In Extrafoveal Choice Reaction., Robert Earl Morrison

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

Although it has been amply demonstrated that eye movements are influenced by the presence of complex information in visual displays , the nature of the control of this behavior remains unclear. Because of the brevity of the eye fixations, a major theoretical dispute has arisen over whether the eyes are guided to new fixation positions immediately, on the basis of information glimpsed during the immediately preceding fixation, or on a delayed basis , because new information is not available early enough in a fixation to influence the direction of the next eye movement

New Polymeric Resists For Electron Beam Lithography., Ameeta Narula

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

Multiple thin films which are conducting, insulating and semiconducting are important components of integrated circuit technology. Circuits are fabricated from these layers by patterning the films to form isolated circuit elements which are themselves interconnected by patterned films (1).


Allocation Of Behavior By Northern Blue Jays In Response To Prey Density Changes In Two Foraging Areas., Jerrilynn Peters Jan 1982

Allocation Of Behavior By Northern Blue Jays In Response To Prey Density Changes In Two Foraging Areas., Jerrilynn Peters

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

In the depleting density experiment it was found that the jays did respond to prey depletion and that the jays appear to use a hunting by expectation rule. These data suggest that the rule a predator uses depends on the distribution of prey.


Morphology Of The 1980 Massachusetts Business Elite., David P. Perlman Jan 1982

Morphology Of The 1980 Massachusetts Business Elite., David P. Perlman

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

This is a study of the men at the apex of a regional economic power structure. The choice of subject (the Massachusetts business elite) and treatment (the division of that elite into its religious and ethnic 1 components) embody the view that the economic and ethnic histories of Massachusetts are tightly intertwined.


The Development And Evaluation Of A Scale To Measure Maternal Self-Esteem., Elizabeth M. Shea Jan 1982

The Development And Evaluation Of A Scale To Measure Maternal Self-Esteem., Elizabeth M. Shea

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

Developmental research in the last ten years has documented the importance of early mother-infant interaction for later child development (Brazelton, 1973; Thoman, 1975; Clarke-Stewart, 1973; Ainsworth Bell & Slayton, 1974). The quality of the early mother-infant interaction has been found to correlate with later social and cognitive development (Yarrow, Rubenstein, & Pederson, & Jankowski, 1972; Elardo, Bradley, & Caldwell, 1975).


The Effect Of Processing Conditions On The Solid-State Deformation And Consequent Properties Of High Density Polyethylene., Marc Michael Daniels Jan 1982

The Effect Of Processing Conditions On The Solid-State Deformation And Consequent Properties Of High Density Polyethylene., Marc Michael Daniels

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

This thesis examines the uniaxial drawing process of solid-state extrusion for high density polyethylene. To provide a foundation for the experimental work, a model for solid-state deformation of polyethylene is presented. The literature on drawing and extrusion is reviewed and results are interpreted in terms of the model. Experimental work is divided into three sections: (1) the effect of extrusion conditions on extrudate properties, (2) the effect of extrusion temperature, draw ratio, and die angle on \, the ratio of pushing to pulling pressures which produce equivalent extrusion rates during pultrusion, and (3) methods to increase draw ratio and tensile …

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

The dorsolateral pontine brain stem was investigated as a possible locus of neural elements mediating the classically conditioned rabbit nictitating membrane response. Lesioning, recording, and stimulating techniques were employed for this purpose.


Properties Of Sulfonated Polysulfone Ionomers., Michael A. Drzewinski Jan 1982

Properties Of Sulfonated Polysulfone Ionomers., Michael A. Drzewinski

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

The structure-property relationships of sulfonated polysulfone ionomers were investigated. The techniques of Fourier Transform Infrared, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Dynamic-Mechanical Analysis, Small Angle X-ray Scattering and Water Absorption were used to provide Information on the nature of ionic interactions 1n these Ionomers. From these structure-property studies, the ionomeric structure is best described as consisting largely of ionic multiplets composed of ion pairs, quartets, etc.


Medium Chain Triglyceride Feeding To Normal And Diabetic Rats., Neilé Kay Edens Jan 1982

Medium Chain Triglyceride Feeding To Normal And Diabetic Rats., Neilé Kay Edens

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

Medium chain triglyceride (MCT) feeding to normal male rats has been shown to cause marked alterations in circulating levels of metabolic fuels. Despite this, MCT feeding has not been shown to reliably alter food intake in normal rats. It seemed possible that MCT feeding might affect food intake in diabetic rats, because diabetics have been shown to respond selectively to alterations of the fat content of their diet.


Development Of A Self-Report Measure Of Role-Playing Ability., Kenneth E. Fletcher Jan 1982

Development Of A Self-Report Measure Of Role-Playing Ability., Kenneth E. Fletcher

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

A paper-and-pencil measure of role-playing ability was first constructed and then submitted to a variety of validational studies. This role-playing ability measure was designed as a skills-based instrument. Items were chosen for the proposed Role-playing Ability (RPA) scale on the basis of categories of skills theoretically relevant to role-playing ability. Items were selected according to judgments of experts, item analyses of responses from students, and performance ratings in an Improvisational Situations Test (1ST), a test developed especially for the present research. The process of item selection provided a 34-item Role-playing Ability (RPA) scale. This RPA was then demonstrated to have …
