Pig Vocalizations Under Selected Husbandry Practices, Hongwei Xin, James A. Deshazer, D. W. Leger
Hongwei Xin
Acoustical characteristics of vocalizations of sows, piglets, and nursery pigs under selected husbandry practices were analyzed with a digital signal processing system. The duration (D) and major energy-resonance frequency (P) for each call were determined as follows: a) processing of piglets (D = 0.81 s and f* = 3 700 Hz); b) food anticipation of breeding-gestation sows (2.50 s and 3 000 Hz); c) isolation of piglet (0.34 s and 500, 3 500 Hz); d) startling of nursery pigs (0.29 s and 900 Hz); e) sows in heat (3.07 s and 1 375 Hz); f) farrowing (0.10 s and 3 …

El Municipio Y La Organización Del Estado En Ecuador, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
El proceso de urbanización en el Ecuador se rige por la lógica concentradora y excluyente, propia del tipo de desarrollo capitalista en nuestras naciones, se expresa entre otras cosas, en la desarticulación de la red urbana, el ilimitado crecimiento de las ciudades grandes por sobre el resto de los asentamientos humanos, la profundización de los desequilibrios y desigualdades a todo nivel (social, intraurbano y ecológico), el predominio de la población urbana sobre la rural, etc.
Esta expresión fenoménica de la urbanización ecuatoriana tiende a acrecentarse desde los años sesenta y con mayor énfasis desde el "boom petrolero" en 1972. Ello …

La Investigación Urbana En El Ecuador, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
Con el trabajo se busca realizar un balance del trayecto seguido por la investigación regional y urbana en el país y del estado en que se encuentra. Para ello se parte de la definición del "momento fundacional" del campo (principios de la década del ochenta), a través de ciertos antecedentes históricos que confluyen cuando el proceso de urbanización se acelera en el país, las ciencias sociales se fortalecen y los agentes sociales que la conducen y consumen se forman. Posteriormente y bajo dos entradas metodológicas diversas, la una que clasifica la bibliografía en función de dos paradigmas fundamentales y la …

Cooperation In A Repeated Prisoner's Dilemma With Ostracism, Eric Bennett Rasmusen, David Hirshleifer
Cooperation In A Repeated Prisoner's Dilemma With Ostracism, Eric Bennett Rasmusen, David Hirshleifer
Eric Bennett Rasmusen
The unique Nash equilibrium of the finitely repeated n-person Prisoners' Dilemma calls for defection in all rounds. One way to enforce cooperation in groups is ostracism: players who defect are expelled. If the group's members prefer not to diminish its size, ostracism hurts the legitimate members of the group as well as the outcast, putting the credibility of the threat in doubt. Nonetheless, we show that ostracism can be effective in promoting cooperation with either finite or infinite rounds of play. The model can be applied to games other than the Prisoners' Dilemma, and ostracism can enforce inefficient as well …
Sociobiological And Psychosocial Models Of Physical Attractiveness Phenomena: A Confrontation Of Theories, James M. Donovan
Sociobiological And Psychosocial Models Of Physical Attractiveness Phenomena: A Confrontation Of Theories, James M. Donovan
James M. Donovan
A majority of cultural anthropologists underestimate the value of sociobiological theory for a better understanding of human behavior. This essay attempts to demonstrate the shortcomings of this position by presenting an illustrative problem. Sexually asymmetrical physical attractiveness phenomena are examined first from a traditional psychosocial model. In its pure form this model is unable to account for the known data; when supplemented by sociobiological premises, however, these difficulties are resolved.

Political Science Publishers: What Do The Citations Reveal?, Stephen Mcginty
Stephen McGinty
This study investigates political science monograph publishing patterns through an examination of journal citations. All citations to monographs in the American Political Science Review and the Journal of Politics for 1974-1975 and 1984-1985 were tallied and categorized. Lists of the most frequently cited publishers for both time periods are resented. Citation frequencies of conference proceedings, unpublished sources, foreign language material, and government documents are explored. Centralization of resource use by scholars is examined by looking at what percentage of all monograph citations are accounted for by the twenty-five most active publishers. The results depict a significant amount of change over …

How A Personal Document's Intended Use Or Purpose Affects Its Classification In An Office., Barbara H. Kwasnik
How A Personal Document's Intended Use Or Purpose Affects Its Classification In An Office., Barbara H. Kwasnik
Barbara H. Kwasnik
This paper reports on the findings of a larger case study that attempts to describe how people organize documents in their own offices. In that study, several dimensions along which people make classificatory decisions were identified. Of these, the use of to which a document is put emerged as a strong determiner of that document’s classification. The method of analysis is reviewed, and examples of the different kinds of uses are presented, demonstrating that it is possible to describe a wide variety of specific instances using a closed set of descriptors. The suggestion is made that, in designing systems for …

Product Quality With Information Dissemination And Switching Costs, Eric Bennett Rasmusen
Product Quality With Information Dissemination And Switching Costs, Eric Bennett Rasmusen
Eric Bennett Rasmusen
Klein and Leffler (1981) construct a model in which expected future prices exceed marginal costs so that sellers are willing to maintain high quality for the sake of future profits. How profits are dissapated under free entry, and whether there is a continuum of equilibria, are questions not fully resolved. I contstruct a formal model simpler than any now existing in which free entry and exogenous fixed costs uniquely determine the price of output and the amount sold per firm.
The Growth Of Home Schooling, Steven Alan Samson
The Growth Of Home Schooling, Steven Alan Samson
Steven Alan Samson
We would do well to remember that a series of sixteenth century Reformations were launched with the aid of the fifteenth century printing press. We may be witnessing much the same today. The keynote in home schooling circles is a can-do attitude that seeks to instill the character that once built America and to raise a new generation to rebuild the shattered foundations of western civilization.
Gender, Sexual Orientation, And Truth-Of-Consensus In Studies Of Physical Attractiveness, James M. Donovan, Elizabeth Hill, William R. Jankowiak
Gender, Sexual Orientation, And Truth-Of-Consensus In Studies Of Physical Attractiveness, James M. Donovan, Elizabeth Hill, William R. Jankowiak
James M. Donovan
Truth-of-consensus methodology presently holds that sex differences in perceptions of physical attractiveness are negligible and may be routinely ignored during prescaling. No determination has been made in the literature of the effects of sexual orientation on this perceptual process. The data presented herein suggest that while sex and sexual orientation of judge are largely irrelevant to prescaling of female stimuli, these variables are important when judging male stimuli. In particular, male homosexuals and male heterosexuals differ significantly in ranking male facial photographs. Thus, experimenters wishing to treat attractiveness levels as known quantities should control for this difference, especially when using …

DoD is involved in EMP standards development efforts which culminate 25 years of research. This paper previews an EMP protection standard for fixed, ground-based communication facilities. The standard uses a low-risk hardening approach which depends on an electromagnetic barrier comprised of a conducting shield to prevent harmful transients from reaching communication electronics. The standard is the first of its kind and is being instituted as MIL-STD-188-125.

The Unemployment Rates Of Men And Women: A Transition Probability Analysis, Michael C. Seeborg, Larry Deboer
The Unemployment Rates Of Men And Women: A Transition Probability Analysis, Michael C. Seeborg, Larry Deboer
Michael Seeborg
Women's unemployment rates were considerably higher than men's for many years, but during the 1980s this difference has virtually disappeared. This study is the first to examine that change through an analysis of trends in the probabilities of labor force transitions- movements between employment, unemployment, and nonparticipation in the labor force. Using BLS data, the authors find that about half of the narrowing of the unemployment rate differential during the 1968-85 period was due to the increasing labor force attachment of women and the decreasing attachment of men. The other half reflects changes in men's and women's tendencies to move …
Resources—Politics And Resources For Economics, Steven Alan Samson
Resources—Politics And Resources For Economics, Steven Alan Samson
Steven Alan Samson
A distinctly Christian literature on politics and economics emerged in the post-war years and has multiplied during the past decade. A key role in this development was played by Dr. Howard Kershner, who launched the Christian Freedom Foundation in 1950 and edited Christian Economics during most of its 25 years of publication. Other outlets, not avowedly Christian but founded in the same decade, include The Freeman, National Review, and Intercollegiate Review. These excellent sources of political and economic commentary continue to have a place of importance in conservative circles.
