Book Review: James Joyce: The Last Journey, Robert Means
Book Review: James Joyce: The Last Journey, Robert Means
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Although, James Joyce once had to make a large deposit in a Swiss bank to ensure that he and his family would not become welfare cases of the Swiss government (Edel 33) - this was in 1940 when Joyce and his family fled Paris for Zurich - it's not the city's financial reputation that is the most important connection that Zurich has to the life and work of the author of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. Zurich, with its deserved reputation as a cosmopolitan haven for exiles, as a center of medicine, and as the birthplace of psychoanalysis, provided Joyce with …
The Battle Of Morgarten In 1315: An Essential Incident In The Founding Of The Swiss State, Albert Winkler
The Battle Of Morgarten In 1315: An Essential Incident In The Founding Of The Swiss State, Albert Winkler
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Political realities in the German Empire at the beginning of the fourteenth century were harsh, and communities that wanted to gain or maintain their autonomy had to deal with serious external threats. Most frequently, this meant that military success was essential for survival. Many forces vied for authority, influence, and domination over the regions that formed the Swiss Confederation, which later developed into the modem state of Switzerland. The largest threat to Swiss sovereignty in this period was factions of nobles, most importantly the house of Habsburg, which were expanding their control over the region. By the early fourteenth century, …

The Battle Of Morgarten In 1315: An Essential Incident In The Founding Of The Swiss State, Albert Winkler
Faculty Publications
In 1315 Leopold I of the Habsburg family led an army invaded the early Swiss states of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden. Leopold’s army was typical feudal force and included many knights on horseback. The Swiss states were largely free peasants who were developing infantry tactics, and the conflict with the Habsburgs was in part a social conflict. In one of the most stunning and lopsided military victories in history, the Swiss overwhelmed and routed Leopold’s army at the Pass at Morgarten. Within days, the victorious Swiss states concluded the Pact of Brunnen which was a major step in cooperation between …
Physical Mapping Of Ribosomal Genes In New World Members Of The Genus Chenopodium Using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization, Maria C. Sederberg
Physical Mapping Of Ribosomal Genes In New World Members Of The Genus Chenopodium Using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization, Maria C. Sederberg
Theses and Dissertations
The genus Chenopodium contains many economically important species in the New World, but is relatively understudied and poorly understood, especially in terms of evolutionary relationships. A better understanding of the structure of this genus could significantly help in breeding efforts on its cultivated members, notably the tetraploid C. quinoa and also certain varieties of C. berlandieri, also tetraploid. Of special concern is determining which diploid weed species are the most likely ancestors for C. quinoa, C. berlandieri, and the other tetraploid members of subsection Cellulata. The phylogeny can be understood in part by examining the ribosomal RNA loci and observing …
Into The Imagined Forest: A 2000-Year Retrospective Of The German Woods, Richard Hacken
Into The Imagined Forest: A 2000-Year Retrospective Of The German Woods, Richard Hacken
Faculty Publications
In a "House of Learning" lecture in the Harold B. Lee Library in October, 2008, Richard Hacken gave this presentation, a combination of text and images. Coming from the history of ideas, this retrospective of the German woods looked at historical, linguistic, artistic, philosophical, political, literary, cultural, and of course botanical aspects of the German forest. In summary, five major forest themes arise from Germans imagining their own German woods: (1) taming the external and internal wilderness; (2) establishing social justice; (3) advocating national unity; (4) maintaining a sense of the sacred; and (5) encouraging ecological awareness.

Mammals Of Great Basin National Park, Nevada: Comparative Field Surveys And Assessment Of Faunal Change, Eric A. Rickart, Shannen L. Robson, Lawrence R. Heaney
Mammals Of Great Basin National Park, Nevada: Comparative Field Surveys And Assessment Of Faunal Change, Eric A. Rickart, Shannen L. Robson, Lawrence R. Heaney
Monographs of the Western North American Naturalist
Great Basin National Park in east central Nevada encompasses most of the southern Snake Range including Wheeler Peak, which at 3980 m is the highest peak in the interior Great Basin. The original detailed surveys of the mammals of this region were made between 1929 and 1939 by field crews from the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley. Between 2000 and 2003, we conducted additional field surveys of mammals in the park region in conjunction with the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Program. Here, we provide a comprehensive report on the mammal fauna of the park and …
Dakota Land In 1862, A Genocide Forgotten: How Civilizational Transformation Can Get Lost In The Fading Rate Of History, Michael Andregg
Dakota Land In 1862, A Genocide Forgotten: How Civilizational Transformation Can Get Lost In The Fading Rate Of History, Michael Andregg
Comparative Civilizations Review
The year of 1862 was critical in a process by which a land larger than many nations was transformed from one civilization to another. But the process was not a classic conquest easily recorded in history books. Rather, it was a slow "digestion" of over 20 million hectares of territory by one civilization, accompanied by moments of true genocide or "ethnic cleansing" during long periods of high death rates for one group and high birth rates and immigration rates for the other group. But this was sufficiently gradual that most historians did not record it on their lists of wars …

Sequestration And Ultrasound-Induced Release Of Doxorubicin From Stabilized Pluronic P105 Micelles, John D. Pruitt, William G. Pitt
Sequestration And Ultrasound-Induced Release Of Doxorubicin From Stabilized Pluronic P105 Micelles, John D. Pruitt, William G. Pitt
Faculty Publications
Controlled drug delivery from micelles requires that the micelles remain stable when diluted below their critical micelle concentration, such as upon injection into blood. A cross-linked, interpenetrating network of N,N-diethylacrylamide (NNDEA) was polymerized in the core of Pluronic P105 micelles to stabilize temporarily the micelles at concentrations below the critical micellar concentration of free P105. The stabilized Pluronic micelles (called Plurogels) were able to sequester the drug doxorubicin (Dox) and protect HL-60 cells from the drug at concentrations where non-stabilized Pluronic provided no protection. The protection lasted ~ 12 hr, which is similar to the half-life of the particles. Application …
Do Yellow-Pine Chipmunks Prefer To Recover Their Own Caches?, Stephen B. Vander Wall, Cynthia J. Downs, Mark S. Enders, Ben A. Waitman
Do Yellow-Pine Chipmunks Prefer To Recover Their Own Caches?, Stephen B. Vander Wall, Cynthia J. Downs, Mark S. Enders, Ben A. Waitman
Western North American Naturalist
Many rodent species scatter hoard seeds within a home range shared with other seed-caching animals. An animal foraging for cached food is likely to encounter the caches of other animals, as well as its own. This study asks the following question: do animals recover primarily their own caches, do they conserve their own caches and search for the caches of other animals, or do they search indiscriminately for cached seeds regardless of who buried them? We tested these ideas using 8 yellow-pine chipmunks inside rodent-proof enclosures. We allowed each subject to cache radioactive seeds, we located the seed caches, and …
Low Specific Conductivity Limits Growth And Survival Of The New Zealand Mud Snail From The Upper Owens River, California, David B. Herbst, Michael T. Bogan, Robert A. Lusardi
Low Specific Conductivity Limits Growth And Survival Of The New Zealand Mud Snail From The Upper Owens River, California, David B. Herbst, Michael T. Bogan, Robert A. Lusardi
Western North American Naturalist
The New Zealand mud snail (NZMS), Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Gray), is an invasive species of aquatic snail that is becoming widespread in inland and coastal waters of the western United States. The New Zealand mud snail can have significant impacts on stream ecosystems, as they may consume a large fraction of available algae production and compete with and displace native invertebrates. Even though the distribution of this species is expanding, the habitat conditions conducive to invasion are incompletely understood. Surveys following the NZMS invasion in the Upper Owens River, California, indicated that the snail may be excluded from waters where dissolved …
Consequences Of Cattle Introduction In A Shrubsteppe Ecosystem: Indirect Effects On Desert Horned Lizards (Phrynosoma Platyrhinos), T.A. Scott Newbold, James A. Macmahon
Consequences Of Cattle Introduction In A Shrubsteppe Ecosystem: Indirect Effects On Desert Horned Lizards (Phrynosoma Platyrhinos), T.A. Scott Newbold, James A. Macmahon
Western North American Naturalist
Livestock grazing is one of the most common forms of land use in the western United States, yet scientists struggle to accurately predict grazing impacts. This study examined the initial response of desert horned lizards (Phrynosoma platyrhinos) to cattle introduction at a site in northwestern Utah. We sampled 21 grazed and 7 ungrazed study plots before grazing (2001), after grazing (2002), and 1 year after the cessation of grazing (2003). We were specifically interested in whether grazing influenced lizards through biotic or abiotic pathways. Lizard response (based on scat counts) to the initial impact of grazing (<6 months after cattle introduction) suggests that lizards abandoned areas protected from grazing (i.e., ungrazed exclosures) presumably in favor of grazed areas. Avoidance of ungrazed plots by lizards coincided with a decline in shrub and grass cover on grazed plots and with no significant change in relative abundance or richness of prey (ants) on grazed plots. In 2003, one year after cattle had been removed from the site, prey species richness declined on ungrazed plots, and percent bare ground increased on previously grazed plots; however, we detected no response of lizards to these changes. Overall, these results add to a growing consensus that responses by small vertebrates to grazing are largely the result of changes to habitat structure (i.e., vegetation cover), rather than to changes in prey availability. Importantly, results from our relatively unique evaluation of initial …
Efficiency Of Various Methods Used To Detect Presence Of Pygmy Rabbits In Summer, Eveline S. Larrucea, Peter F. Brussard
Efficiency Of Various Methods Used To Detect Presence Of Pygmy Rabbits In Summer, Eveline S. Larrucea, Peter F. Brussard
Western North American Naturalist
We compared pellet, burrow, visual, and camera surveys to identify a method with high efficiency for detecting current pygmy rabbit (Brachylagus idahoensis) presence at a site in summer. We used 20 known occupied sites in 4 regions of northern Nevada and eastern California for the comparison. All leporid species that occurred in the region were distinguishable in photographs, and camera surveys had a 95% detection efficiency for pygmy rabbits. Burrows were detected at 85% of total sites; however, burrows that appeared active were found at only 55% of total sites. Pygmy rabbit pellets were found at all sites, …
Polygynous Mating Behavior In The Endangered Tehuantepec Jackrabbit (Lepus Flavigularis), Tamara Rioja, Consuelo Lorenzo, Eduardo Naranjo, Laura Scott, Arturo Carrillo-Reyes
Polygynous Mating Behavior In The Endangered Tehuantepec Jackrabbit (Lepus Flavigularis), Tamara Rioja, Consuelo Lorenzo, Eduardo Naranjo, Laura Scott, Arturo Carrillo-Reyes
Western North American Naturalist
This is the 1st effort to determine the mating behavior of the Tehuantepec jackrabbit (Lepus flavigularis), an endangered endemic species from southern Mexico whose distribution is limited to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec region. Between June 2006 and December 2007, observations of 60 adult radio-marked jackrabbits were carried out in Santa María del Mar, Oaxaca, Mexico. Direct observations showed that the breeding season of the Tehuantepec jackrabbit lasted an average of 200 days per year, with a high-intensity period during the rainy season (May–October); we also confirmed a polygamous reproductive behavior for this species. More importantly, we showed that …
Influence Of Pocket Gopher Mounds On Nonnative Plant Establishment In A Shrubsteppe Ecosystem, G. Page Kyle, Andrew Kulmatiski, Karen H. Beard
Influence Of Pocket Gopher Mounds On Nonnative Plant Establishment In A Shrubsteppe Ecosystem, G. Page Kyle, Andrew Kulmatiski, Karen H. Beard
Western North American Naturalist
Soil disturbances across a wide range of spatial scales have been found to promote the establishment of invasive plant species. This study addresses whether mounds built by northern pocket gophers (Thomomys talpoides) in the shrubsteppe environment of north central Washington are facilitating plant invasions into native-dominated fields. Research was conducted in native-dominated plant communities adjacent to ex-arable, nonnative-dominated fields. To determine the effect of mounds on plant growth, we recorded new establishment and persistence of all plant species over 2 growing seasons on 10–19 mound and intermound areas in 10 fields. Nonnative plant establishment was not affected by …
Use Of A Mine By Eastern Pipistrelles (Perimyotis Subflavus) In East Central Nebraska, Jason P. Damm, Keith Geluso
Use Of A Mine By Eastern Pipistrelles (Perimyotis Subflavus) In East Central Nebraska, Jason P. Damm, Keith Geluso
Western North American Naturalist
The eastern pipistrelle (Perimyotis subflavus) is relatively common and widespread throughout the eastern United States. In recent decades, the distribution of P. subflavus has expanded westward across the Great Plains, and little information exists on its natural history in this region. In east central Nebraska, we monitored the use of a mine by eastern pipistrelles for >1 year. A few males occupied the roost in summer, but during the period of hibernation (late September–early May), the mine was used by at least 30 individuals composed of both sexes. Most individuals first entered the mine during late September through …
Observations Of Shoaling And Feeding Behavior Of June Sucker, Chasmistes Liorus, In A Refuge Population, Eric J. Billman
Observations Of Shoaling And Feeding Behavior Of June Sucker, Chasmistes Liorus, In A Refuge Population, Eric J. Billman
Western North American Naturalist
Observations of shoaling and feeding behavior of the zooplanktivorous June sucker, Chasmistes liorus, were made during summer 2003 in Red Butte Reservoir, Utah. Water clarity limited observations to 0.5–1.5 m below the water surface. Schools of adult suckers, ranging from a few to >200 fish, were observed on 20 days from May to September. I classified them as schools rather than shoals because the groups moved synchronously rather than appearing simply as an aggregation of fish. These schools were near the water surface, generally in areas of the reservoir with a water depth of >3 m, and presumably fed …
The Life Cycles Of Claassenia Sabulosa And Hesperoperla Pacifica (Plecoptera: Perlidae) In Two Colorado Streams, Richard A. Thorp, Boris C. Kondratieff, Emily C. Thorp, Patrick B. Odenbeck, Michael J. Jarrett
The Life Cycles Of Claassenia Sabulosa And Hesperoperla Pacifica (Plecoptera: Perlidae) In Two Colorado Streams, Richard A. Thorp, Boris C. Kondratieff, Emily C. Thorp, Patrick B. Odenbeck, Michael J. Jarrett
Western North American Naturalist
We compared the life cycles of Claassenia sabulosa (Banks 1900) and Hesperoperla pacifica (Banks 1900) (Plecoptera: Perlidae) in allopatry and sympatry by studying 4 populations in 3 streams of the South Platte River Watershed, Colorado. We estimated 2-year life cycles for both C. sabulosa and H. pacifica in allopatry and sympatry. Evidence of egg diapausing and extended larval recruitment was noted for both species in allopatry and sympatry. There were no apparent differences in larval growth, larval recruitment, or adult emergence periodicity between allopatric and sympatric populations of C. sabulosa. In contrast, allopatric and sympatric H. pacifica populations exhibited differences …
Aboveground Predation By An American Badger (Taxidea Taxus) On Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs (Cynomys Ludovicianus), David Austin Eads, Dean Edwin Biggins
Aboveground Predation By An American Badger (Taxidea Taxus) On Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs (Cynomys Ludovicianus), David Austin Eads, Dean Edwin Biggins
Western North American Naturalist
During research on black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus), we repeatedly observed a female American badger (Taxidea taxus) hunting prairie dogs on a colony in southern Phillips County, Montana. During 1–14 June 2006, we observed 7 aboveground attacks (2 successful) and 3 successful excavations of prairie dogs. The locations and circumstances of aboveground attacks suggested that the badger improved her probability of capturing prairie dogs by planning the aboveground attacks based on perceptions of speeds, angles, distances, and predicted escape responses of prey. Our observations add to previous reports on the complex and varied predatory methods and …
The Claustrum In Autism And Typically Developing Male Children: A Quantitative Mri Study, Warren B. Davis
The Claustrum In Autism And Typically Developing Male Children: A Quantitative Mri Study, Warren B. Davis
Theses and Dissertations
The claustrum (Cl) is a subcortical gray-matter structure housed between the external capsule medially and the extreme capsule laterally. Due to its extensive reciprocal connections throughout the brain, it has been implicated in consciousness and other higher order functions including linking behavior and emotion. Such linkage may be important in understanding the neurobiology of autism since other cortical and subcortical regions including the spatially and ontologically related basal ganglia, as well as limbic structures, have been implicated in the disorder. Participants were males with autism (n=16) and typically developing (TD; n=14) matched for head circumference and age. The Cl and …

Making Sense Of Their World: Sensory Awareness And Sensory Reactivity As Predictors Of Social Interaction In Early Childhood, Cortney Anne Evans
Theses and Dissertations
The purposes of this study were to (a) test the validity of a sensory reactivity measure adapted for parents of preschool-age children, (b) examine if different modalities of sensory reactivity (i.e. smell, touch, taste, etc.) emerge together or if differing thresholds of reactivity exist between sensory modalities, (c) see how parental ratings of preschoolers' sensory reactivity are related to children's behaviors in the classroom, and (d) see if sensory reactivity bears different relationships to children's social behaviors than do other aspects of temperament. A total of 260 parents (242 mothers, 18 fathers) and 10 teachers of 260 children (131 male, …
