The Perceptions Of Self And Others: Examining The Effect Identity Adoption Has On Immigrant Attitudes Toward Affirmative Action Policies In The United States, Tiffiany O. Howard Mar 2011

The Perceptions Of Self And Others: Examining The Effect Identity Adoption Has On Immigrant Attitudes Toward Affirmative Action Policies In The United States, Tiffiany O. Howard

Political Science Faculty Research

While there exist several studies devoted to evaluating the political attitudes of US citizens, very little has been done to distinguish between the political attitudes of immigrants and citizens of the same racial or ethnic group. Using data from the Multi-City Study of Urban Inequality, 1992-94, this study evaluates the role identity adoption plays in highlighting the distinctions which exist between the political attitudes of immigrants and those of US citizens from the same racial/ethnic group. The results reveal that despite pronounced cultural distinctions between immigrants and US citizens, in many cases race and ethnicity are important unifiers on opinions …

The Burden Of Reproduction In Lizards: Changes In Respiratory Physiology Associated With Reduced Lung Volume At The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge (2007-2008), Casey Gilman, Blair Wolf Mar 2011

The Burden Of Reproduction In Lizards: Changes In Respiratory Physiology Associated With Reduced Lung Volume At The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge (2007-2008), Casey Gilman, Blair Wolf

Sevilleta LTER Program Data

Previous morphological work on lizards suggests that the volume of growing eggs may result in a significant decrease in lung volume during gravidity. Iguanid lizard lungs are located within continuous thoracic and abdominal cavities and are highly distensible. Because of their distensible nature and lack of a diaphragm, both naturally occurring and introduced structures within the abdominal and thoracic cavities (i.e. organs, food, eggs) compress them and potentially reduce available lung volume for gas exchange. During reproduction, this decrease comes at a time of increased energetic demands, due to the cost of provisioning eggs and the physical burden of transporting …

Tracking The Feeding Patterns Of Tsetse Flies (Glossina Genus) By Analysis Of Bloodmeals Using Mitochondrial Cytochromes Genes, Catherine N. Muturi, Johnson O. Ouma, Imna I. Malele, Raphael M. Ngure, Jane J. Rutto, Klaus M. Mithöfer, John Enyaru, Daniel K. Masiga Mar 2011

Tracking The Feeding Patterns Of Tsetse Flies (Glossina Genus) By Analysis Of Bloodmeals Using Mitochondrial Cytochromes Genes, Catherine N. Muturi, Johnson O. Ouma, Imna I. Malele, Raphael M. Ngure, Jane J. Rutto, Klaus M. Mithöfer, John Enyaru, Daniel K. Masiga

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Tsetse flies are notoriously difficult to observe in nature, particularly when populations densities are low. It is therefore difficult to observe them on their hosts in nature; hence their vertebrate species can very often only be determined indirectly by analysis of their gut contents. This knowledge is a critical component of the information on which control tactics can be developed. The objective of this study was to determine the sources of tsetse bloodmeals, hence investigate their feeding preferences. We used mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COI) and cytochrome b (cytb) gene sequences for identification of tsetse fly blood meals, in …

Elementary Schoolyard Landscapes As Outdoor Learning Environments: North Texas Stakeholders' Perceptions Of The No Child Left Inside Act, Shawn Marie Bookout Mar 2011

Elementary Schoolyard Landscapes As Outdoor Learning Environments: North Texas Stakeholders' Perceptions Of The No Child Left Inside Act, Shawn Marie Bookout

Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive

So that children can be exposed to a more stimulating outdoor educational experience, the United States public education system developed and implemented strategies to accomplish an integrative approach between indoor and outdoor learning (Gardner 1991; Wells and Evans 2003; Titman 1994; Moore 1986). One of these strategies is to allow for an enhanced connection between children and the outdoor environment through the betterment of school landscapes. As described by Wohlwill (1983), the outdoor environment is - that vast domain of organic and inorganic matter that is not a product of human activity or intervention. The purpose of this study is …


A Search For Design Appropriateness Using Qualitative Techniques To Contrast The Mountain Resort Community Cores Of Vail Village And Beaver Creek Village, Jared Sylor Mar 2011

A Search For Design Appropriateness Using Qualitative Techniques To Contrast The Mountain Resort Community Cores Of Vail Village And Beaver Creek Village, Jared Sylor

Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive

This study uses in-depth interviews to compare the mountain resort village cores of Vail Village and Beaver Creek Village to determine levels of design appropriateness in each. Design appropriateness for a village core is defined as an outdoor, multi-chambered, visually stimulating environment that encourages and invites human activity and repeat visits to the village core and ski resort (Dorward 1990.) An appropriately designed village core "encourages visitors to wander, explore the special places and unique features of the village, people-watch, and interact amiably with strangers in a diverse mix of gathering places and open-air seating" (Dorward 2006, p.273.) Design appropriateness …

Impact Of Suburbs: Assessing Tree Coverage Using Geo-Spatial Tools In The City Of Fort Worth, James Colton Yorek

Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive

Throughout the last century, developers kept pace with the growing housing demand, and in doing so, former rural landscape continued to become part of the urban fabric (Corrigan et al, 2004; Secker 2007). This newly acquired land is primarily being shaped by development typically in the form of single-family residential subdivisions (Berger, 2006). With the increasing consumption of land for development there are increasing concerns from the public surrounding issues of land use changes, natural resources, and the protection of land through conservation efforts (Johnston et al, 2006). One of these issues is the acceptance of the urban forest as …

Compatibility Of Urban Edible Landscaping To The Sustainable Sites Initiative's Goals And Design Criteria., Cheryl Beesley Mar 2011

Compatibility Of Urban Edible Landscaping To The Sustainable Sites Initiative's Goals And Design Criteria., Cheryl Beesley

Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive

This research addresses edible landscapes through the lens of The Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES). The Sustainable Sites Initiative is a collaboration of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), The Ladybird Johnson Wildlife Center and the United States Botanic Garden. The team of professionals working on SITES has developed a manual for sustainable site development and landscaping practice that include guidelines regarding site development, installation, and maintenance practices. Various levels of certification can be obtained by accumulating points in categories that relate to new site construction or site renovation. It is the purpose of this thesis to research how urban …


Toward An Ontology Of Design Philosophy In Landscape Architecture: Developing A Personal Design Philosophy, Rhonda Erin Fields Mar 2011

Toward An Ontology Of Design Philosophy In Landscape Architecture: Developing A Personal Design Philosophy, Rhonda Erin Fields

Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive

This thesis uses qualitative inquiry to examine the process for developing a personal design philosophy. The larger goal of the study seeks to understand the universal and particulars of design as philosophy with the intent to develop an ontology for design philosophy in landscape architecture. "Design is a crucial factor in the relation between beings and worlds as they shape each other, yet as a philosophy, design itself hardly exists" (Willis, 2009). Willis and others in the field of design philosophy suggest that design as a philosophy has only recently begun to be studied. Further, to begin an understanding of …
