Emotion Processing Deficits In Disordered Eating Behaviours, Andreea Cristina Andreescu Oct 2015

Emotion Processing Deficits In Disordered Eating Behaviours, Andreea Cristina Andreescu

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study explored the relationship between disordered eating patterns (i.e., dieting, binging, and binge/purging) and emotion processing deficits (i.e., perceived emotion intensity, emotion regulation, and self-compassion). The sample consisted of 209 undergraduate participants who completed a series of self-reports measuring concepts of emotion processing and disordered eating. Additionally, they described an upsetting event and their subsequent coping to feel better. Results indicated that higher levels of disordered eating are associated with higher emotional processing deficits, specifically high levels of perceived emotion intensity, difficulty regulating affect, and diminished self-compassion. Furthermore, emotion regulation mediated the relationship between emotion intensity and disordered eating. …

An Extensible Natural-Language Query Interface To The Dbpedia Triple-Store, Wale Agboola Oct 2015

An Extensible Natural-Language Query Interface To The Dbpedia Triple-Store, Wale Agboola

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

DBpedia is a triple-based binary-relational database which contains 3 billion, and counting, facts derived from Wikipedia. Ideally, individuals should be able to access semantic web triple-store data through natural-language queries. Several attempts have been made to create natural-language (NL) query interfaces to DBpedia. However, no one has yet built a wide-coverage natural-language query processor for DBpedia. DBpedia does not currently encode contextual data representing the time, location or other properties of binary-relationships. This means that NL queries cannot contain prepositional phrases such as the phrase "in 2004" in the query: "what film was directed by Clint Eastwood in 2004". Existing …

Polyandry And Sperm Competition In The Alternative Reproductive Tactics In Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus Tshawytscha), Jason Lewis Oct 2015

Polyandry And Sperm Competition In The Alternative Reproductive Tactics In Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus Tshawytscha), Jason Lewis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) exhibit male alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs), in which males are either large, dominant hooknoses, or small precocious jacks. Multiple mating (or polyandry) is common by females, which partly explains the intense sperm competition. I examined whether females benefit genetically by mating with multiple males thus promoting sperm competition and whether males can use seminal plasma to influence the potential outcome during sperm competition. I found that polyandrous females do indeed benefit genetically compared to monandrous (singly mated) females through an increase in offspring hatching success. The benefits received by polyandrous females varied significantly depending on the …

Symbolic Representations Versus Embodiment: A Test Using Semantic Neighbours And Iconicity, Simritpal Kaur Malhi Oct 2015

Symbolic Representations Versus Embodiment: A Test Using Semantic Neighbours And Iconicity, Simritpal Kaur Malhi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

According to the symbolic representation account, word meaning can be sufficiently captured by lexical co-occurrence models (Markman & Dietrich, 2000). In contrast, the embodied cognition account maintains that words are understood via simulated perceptual experiences (Barsalou, 1999). The Symbol Interdependency Hypothesis reconciles these different approaches by proposing that we use symbolic representation most of the time and embodied approaches when deeper processing is required (Louwerse, 2007). To test this hypothesis, a series of experiments manipulated symbolic and embodied factors in shallow and deep processing tasks. Concreteness was also manipulated because it is thought to interact with depth of processing. Overall, …
