A Multivariate Test Of Evolutionary Stasis In Homo Sapiens, Jon Geoffrey Kleckner

Dissertations and Theses

In the past, efforts to prove or disprove stasis in hominids have relied upon univariate tests such as Students's t-test. Severe methodological and interpretive problems arise from the misapplication of univariate statistics to questions concerning variation in shape through time. These are questions best addressed using the multivariate approach of morphometrics. Eighteen cranial dimensions drawn from 33 mid and late Pleistocene Homo sapiens were examined using principal component analysis (PCA). PCA divided the sample into two distinct morphologies. Archaic Homo sapiens of the mid Pleistocene clustered with Wurm I neanderthals and apart from post Gottweig early anatomically modern Homo sapiens. …

Evolution In Thermodynamic Perspective: An Ecological Approach, Bruce H. Weber, David J. Depew, C Dyke, Stanley N. Salthe, Eric D. Schneider, Jeffrey S. Wicken, Robert E. Ulanowicz

David J Depew

Recognition that biological systems are stabilized far from equilibrium by self-organizing, informed, autocatalytic cycles and structures that dissipate unusable energy and matter has led to recent attempts to reformulate evolutionary theory. We hold that such insights are consistent with the broad development of the Darwinian Tradition and with the concept of natural selection. Biological systems are selected that re not only more efficient than competitors but also enhance the integrity of the web of energetic relations in which they are embedded. But the expansion of the informational phase space, upon which selection acts, is also guaranteed by the properties of …

Plan Distrito Metropolitano. Quito Actual Fase 1. Proceso Urbano, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

La concepción de la planificación urbana incorpora, como recurso metodológico, al estudio histórico. A partir del conocimiento sistemático y periódico de las distintas etapas en el desarrollo de las ciudades, con el señalamiento de los desequilibrios y de los peligros de ahondar en aspectos críticos; el análisis histórico recupera para el presente y el futuro, los elementos estructurales que se constituyen en el crecimiento urbano: su sentido social, económico e incluso político.

Devuelve a la ciudad y a los administradores los hilos conductores de una cierta "racionalidad" en la distribución espacial, en las tendencias generales del uso del suelo en …

Breadth-Depth Or State-Trait Curiosity? A Factor Analysis Of State-Trait Curiosity And State Anxiety Scales, Gregory J. Boyle

Notes On Displaced Ces Functional Forms, Don Fullerton

Don Fullerton

This document shows how to add another parameter to a Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) utility function, derive demand functions, and solve for indirect utility and expenditure functions for the evaluation of money metric utility welfare changes from a price or tax change. It also shows how to calibrate the model, by solving backwards for the parameters that must have existed to generate the observed data.

Mood Induction, Interpersonal Perceptions, And Behavioral Rejection In Students With Depressed, Non-Depressed Disturbed, And Normal Roommates, Charles A. Sanislow, David V. Perkins, Deborah Ware Balogh

Charles A. Sanislow, Ph.D.

The present study used the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) to select, based on multidimensional criteria, 51 college students who displayed depression alone, depression in conjunction with other psychological disturbance (PD), nondepressive PD, or no PD. All students had been living with randomly assigned roommates (RMs) for at least 10 wks. RMs of these students completed the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List, the Profile of Mood States, MMPI-168 Depression scale items, and items concerning roommate behavior. RMs of students depressed in conjunction with other PD were significantly more depressed themselves on 2 measures than were RMs of students in the …

Nonrandom Mixing Models Of Hiv Transmission, Peter Cramton, Edward H. Kaplan, A. David Paltiel

Peter Cramton

Models of HIV transmission and the AIDS epidemic generally assume random mixing among those infected with HIV and those who are not. For sexually transmitted HIV, this implies that individuals select sex partners without regard to attributes such as familiarity, attractiveness, or risk of infection. This paper formulates a model for examining the impact of nonrandom mixing on HIV transmission. We present threshold conditions that determine when HIV epidemics can occur within the framework of this model. Nonrandom mixing is introduced by assuming that sexually active individuals select sex partners to minimize the risk of infection. In addition to variability …
