The Effects Of Mindfulness On Marital Sexuality, Sage Delamare
The Effects Of Mindfulness On Marital Sexuality, Sage Delamare
Family Perspectives
This literature review examines the differences between male and female sexuality, explores sexual mindfulness as a treatment, and suggests various ways to practice mindfulness. Research has found that women tend to suffer more sexual dysfunction than men and that mindfulness may be a powerful tool in helping women experience more sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, and satisfaction. Sexual mindfulness is effective because it helps the individual relax, remain aware, and overcome negative thought processes and sexual anxieties. Relaxing may increase female sexual satisfaction because it tends to help women release muscle tension and experience less pain, help arousal by decreasing pent …
Equal Partnership Through Mutual Attunement And Mutual Decision-Making, Merri-Lu Jackman
Equal Partnership Through Mutual Attunement And Mutual Decision-Making, Merri-Lu Jackman
Family Perspectives
Equal partnership in marriage—or equal relational power—develops as each spouse improves their ability to influence each other in personal needs, interests, and goals. Power is an inescapable part of romantic relationships and the way power is distributed impacts many aspects of the marriage including marital quality, stability, and intimacy. Couples who struggle with unequal power can benefit from developing and practicing mutual attunement and mutual decision-making. Healthy levels of attunement allow spouses to become more connected as they show awareness and interest in what matters to their spouse. Seeking equal decision-making power for both partners can also lead to increased …
The Effects Of Parenting Styles On Prosocial Lie-Telling Behaviors In Young Children, Hannah Larsen
The Effects Of Parenting Styles On Prosocial Lie-Telling Behaviors In Young Children, Hannah Larsen
Family Perspectives
Deception is a normative human behavior, but not all deception is created equal. This review of recent literature demonstrates that the ability to tell a lie is a cognitive milestone and that deceit may be used with both prosocial and antisocial intentions. Research indicates that children who have the cognitive capacity and the emotional intelligence to tell prosocial lies are often the result of parents who employ the authoritative parenting style. More specifically, a preschool-aged child ’s ability to tell a prosocial lie (i.e., one that spares feelings or avoids conflicts) is heavily influenced by family climate and parenting technique. …

Mosquito Distribution And West Nile Virus Surveillance Results On The Nevada National Security Site In South-Central Nevada, Derek B. Hall, Vivek Raman
Mosquito Distribution And West Nile Virus Surveillance Results On The Nevada National Security Site In South-Central Nevada, Derek B. Hall, Vivek Raman
Western North American Naturalist
A 10-year study (2004–2013) was conducted to determine mosquito distribution and the prevalence of West Nile virus (WNV) on the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) in south-central Nevada. Mosquito traps baited with dry ice were set overnight at sites where standing water provided potential breeding sites for mosquitoes. Captured mosquitoes were identified to species and tested for WNV. A total of 556 mosquitoes representing 6 species were captured and identified at 20 sites around the NNSS during 124 surveys. A vast majority (89%) of mosquitoes were Culex tarsalis. Two samples, both Culiseta inornata, tested positive for WNV in …
Merging Of Horizontally And Vertically Separated Small-Scale Buoyant Flames, Thomas H. Fletcher, Denver Haycock, Seth Tollefsen, David Lignell
Merging Of Horizontally And Vertically Separated Small-Scale Buoyant Flames, Thomas H. Fletcher, Denver Haycock, Seth Tollefsen, David Lignell
Faculty Publications
The purpose of this study was to investigate the merging behavior of small-scale buoyant flames that might be representative of flames from a leaf in a shrub. Zirconia felt pads soaked in n-heptane were suspended on thin rods and spaced both horizontally and vertically. Time-dependent video images from flames from two-pad and three-pad configurations were analyzed to determine merging probability, combined flame characteristics (height, area, and width), and changes in burn time. Correlations of these combined flame characteristics were developed based on horizontal and vertical spacing between the pads. Merging probability correlated with an exponential function that was quadratic in …
Reducing The Manual Annotation Effort For Handwriting Recognition Using Active Transfer Learning, Eric Burdett
Reducing The Manual Annotation Effort For Handwriting Recognition Using Active Transfer Learning, Eric Burdett
Theses and Dissertations
Handwriting recognition systems have achieved remarkable performance over the past several years with the advent of deep neural networks. For high-quality recognition, these models require large amounts of labeled training data, which can be difficult to obtain. Various methods to reduce this effort have been proposed in the realms of active and transfer learning, but not in combination. We propose a framework for fitting new handwriting recognition models that joins active and transfer learning into a unified framework. Empirical results show the superiority of our method compared to traditional active learning, transfer learning, or standard supervised training schemes.
Encirclement Of Moving Targets Using Noisy Range And Bearing Measurements, Cammy Peterson, Puneet Jain, Randal Beard
Encirclement Of Moving Targets Using Noisy Range And Bearing Measurements, Cammy Peterson, Puneet Jain, Randal Beard
Faculty Publications
This paper presents theoretically justified controllers that use relative range and bearing measurements to steer a team of autonomous vehicles, operating without inertial position information, to circular trajectories around a constant-acceleration, constant-velocity, or stationary target. An extended Kalman filter is used to improve the noisy relative measurements and estimate the velocity of the moving target. These estimated values are used in the control laws to encircle constant-velocity moving targets. Lyapunov techniques are utilized to show that the vehicle will converge to the desired circular formations. Additionally, cooperating vehicles are shown to converge to a circular formation with equal temporal spacing …

The Winged Victory: Nike In Ancient Greece, Megan Mayfield
The Winged Victory: Nike In Ancient Greece, Megan Mayfield
Studia Antiqua
The Greek goddess Nike was a popular deity throughout the ancient Greek World. As a symbol of victory, Nike represented triumph within agonistic conflicts. Nike was an important figure in the Greek mind, and while comprehensive studies of who the goddess was and how she was represented through literature and iconography has been conducted, an overview of Nike’s development has not yet been done in English. This paper will follow the development of Nike throughout Greek thought, from her earliest representations and mentions in the Archaic Period through the Hellenistic Era, by focusing on the primary objects and literature sources …
Hedgehogs And Hyenas: Peculiar Animals Of Ancient Egypt, Elliotte Thurtle
Hedgehogs And Hyenas: Peculiar Animals Of Ancient Egypt, Elliotte Thurtle
Studia Antiqua
This essay discusses archeological information gained from the study of Egyptian artifacts, specifically focused on hedgehogs and hyenas. The aim of this paper is to expand our understanding of these animals in the day-to-day lives of Egyptians from this period, and further clarify the symbolism that they hold. Understanding the importance of less common animals within ancient Egyptian religion and symbolism is vital to understanding how the average person lived and interacted with the world around them.
Sacred Writing And Magic Metal: The High Priest's Holy Crown As A Protective Amulet, Abigail Booth
Sacred Writing And Magic Metal: The High Priest's Holy Crown As A Protective Amulet, Abigail Booth
Studia Antiqua
What forces, practices, rituals, or objects worked to safeguard the ancient Israelite sanctuary against evil and harm? Archaeological and textual evidence suggests that the high priest’s golden crown may have been an apotropaic amulet worn to protect the high priest and the holy space. Magical practices described in the Bible are illuminated by the presence of apotropaic ritual and amulets in wider Near Eastern society. Metallic amulets such as those found at Ketef Hinnom were utilized to protect the wearer in the name of the deity. In inscriptions, sacred writing invoked the name of YHWH to guard a sanctuary. The …
Mendacia In Minucius Felix: The Charged Rhetoric Of A Latin Apologist, Alexander Christensen
Mendacia In Minucius Felix: The Charged Rhetoric Of A Latin Apologist, Alexander Christensen
Studia Antiqua
Most scholars agree that Minucius Felix’s Latin Christian Octavius offers a sympathetic view toward Greco-Roman tradition. This consensus has been reached largely from work on the setting, date, and sources of the text, but no one has substantially investigated its rhetorical features and what they might reveal about Minucius’s view of Greco-Roman tradition. This paper sets out to do this work. After pointing out why previous conclusions are unsatisfactory, I look at rhetorically charged words and phrases from the text and how they behave elsewhere in the corpus of Latin literature. When investigated, these expressions give a clearer picture of …
Migraines, Men, And Mythology: Gendered Imagery In The Birth Of Athena, Alexandra Carlile
Migraines, Men, And Mythology: Gendered Imagery In The Birth Of Athena, Alexandra Carlile
Studia Antiqua
Based around a classical Greek kylix held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this essay discusses artistic portrayal of the Birth of Athena. Images of Athena’s birth represent Zeus in a way consistent with childbirth imagery, so Zeus can be understood as repurposing female imagery for a patriarchal narrative. Comparing this kylix to other childbirth images reveals Greek gender roles and stereotypes, as well as the politics associated with the rise of Athens. Understanding the gender politics in the Birth of Athena image is therefore helpful in understanding Greek society and concepts of gender roles.

A Systematic Review Of Datasets That Can Help Elucidate Relationships Among Gene Expression, Race, And Immunohistochemistry-Defined Subtypes In Breast Cancer., Ifeanyichukwu O. Nwosu, Stephen Piccolo
Faculty Publications
Scholarly requirements have led to a massive increase of transcriptomic data in the public domain, with millions of samples available for secondary research. We identified gene-expression datasets representing 10,214 breast-cancer patients in public databases. We focused on datasets that included patient metadata on race and/or immunohistochemistry (IHC) profiling of the ER, PR, and HER-2 proteins. This review provides a summary of these datasets and describes findings from 32 research articles associated with the datasets. These studies have helped to elucidate relationships between IHC, race, and/or treatment options, as well as relationships between IHC status and the breast-cancer intrinsic subtypes. We …
Nephi's Small Plates: A Rhetorical Analysis, Noel B. Reynolds
Nephi's Small Plates: A Rhetorical Analysis, Noel B. Reynolds
Faculty Publications
Readers of the Book of Mormon commonly assume the adequacy of a simple and straight-forward explanation for the existence of Nephi’s Small Plates. As explained at various points in the text, Nephi had undertaken a shorter version of his Large Plates record by selecting out the spiritual teachings, prophecies and revelations for a more focused presentation. But the adequacy of that explanation has come under considerable strain from two very different directions. In 1986 Fred Axelgard advanced the idea that the description provided for the Large Plates of Nephi as being more historical also applied to all of First Nephi …
Lehi's Dream: Nephi's Blueprint, Noel B. Reynolds
Lehi's Dream: Nephi's Blueprint, Noel B. Reynolds
Faculty Publications
This essay harnesses the late twentieth-century discovery of Hebrew rhetoric by Bible scholars to identify Lehi’s dream as the foundation of the carefully constructed unity in Nephi’s writings and to identify previously unrecognized elements of that dream that are distributed throughout his final work. All the teachings and prophecies in First and Second Nephi are shown to derive from that dream/vision. Further, the entirety of Nephi’s writings in the small plates are shown to be a tightly designed rhetorical production that establishes the centrality of Christ’s identity, mission, and teachings for current and future generations of Lehi’s descendants and ultimately …
Active Trumpeter Swan Nest On An Active Muskrat Lodge, Paige C. Miller, David J. Delehanty
Active Trumpeter Swan Nest On An Active Muskrat Lodge, Paige C. Miller, David J. Delehanty
Western North American Naturalist
We observed Trumpeter Swans (Cygnus buccinator) nesting on top of an active muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) lodge, indicating simultaneous breeding uses of a constructed vegetation mound not previously recorded in the literature. Specifically, within the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge in southwestern Montana, we observed 4 eggs in an actively tended Trumpeter Swan nest, while underneath the swan nest bowl was a muskrat nursery occupied by 3 neonate muskrats. Swans are known to use abandoned muskrat lodges as nest foundations, but not active lodges. Our observations point to a close association between breeding muskrats and Trumpeter …
Great Plains Population Of The Dwarf Shrew (Sorex Nanus), With A Record From Nebraska, Russell A. Benedict, Zachary P. Roehrs, Thomas E. Labedz, Hugh H. Genoways
Great Plains Population Of The Dwarf Shrew (Sorex Nanus), With A Record From Nebraska, Russell A. Benedict, Zachary P. Roehrs, Thomas E. Labedz, Hugh H. Genoways
Western North American Naturalist
A diminutive shrew from Sioux County, Nebraska, is shown to be the first state record for the dwarf shrew, Sorex nanus. This specimen appears to be a member of a dwarf shrew population occurring on the Great Plains in the vicinity of the Black Hills in western South Dakota, eastern Wyoming, and southeastern Montana, but not within the Black Hills proper. Other populations of this species occur in montane environments in the Rocky Mountains, from Montana south through Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and some isolated mountains in Arizona. The arid grassland habitats inhabited by the Great Plains population …
Time Required For Brown Bears To Capture And Consume Pacific Salmon, Thomas P. Quinn
Time Required For Brown Bears To Capture And Consume Pacific Salmon, Thomas P. Quinn
Western North American Naturalist
Detection, pursuit, capture, and consumption of prey by predators may be time consuming or not, depending on predators and prey, and this time allocation affects other aspects of predator ecology. Pacific salmon contribute substantially to coastal brown bear (Ursus arctos) diets, with implications for predators, prey, and their ecosystem. Brown bears were observed capturing sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) at Mikfik Creek, Alaska, to determine capture and consumption rates. Bears averaged 3:00 min (SD = 5:24) to capture and 2:26 min (SD = 1:33) to completely consume small adult sockeye salmon. These foraging activities thus occupied only …
Modern Archaeology And The Brass Plates, Noel B. Reynolds
Modern Archaeology And The Brass Plates, Noel B. Reynolds
Faculty Publications
Contemporary Palestinian archaeology has produced two major threats to traditional interpretations of the history of ancient Israel. Scientific discomfort with the exodus story as an explanation for the sudden population expansion in southern Palestine at the beginning of the Iron Age (c.1200 BCE) has led to a wide variety of theories about how these Israelites could have been drawn from existing populations in the general area. And a glaring mismatch between the biblical glorification of David and Solomon’s “empire” and disparagement of the northern kingdom combined with the archaeological finding that the cities of the northern kingdom were far larger …

Lehi And Nephi As Trained Manassite Scribes, Noel B. Reynolds
Lehi And Nephi As Trained Manassite Scribes, Noel B. Reynolds
Faculty Publications
This paper brings contemporary ANE scholarship in several fields together to construct an updated starting point for interpretation of the teachings of the Book of Mormon. It assembles findings from studies of ancient scribal culture, historical linguistics and epigraphy, Hebrew rhetoric, and the history and archaeology of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Levant, together with the traditions of ancient Israel to construct a contextualized perspective for understanding Lehi, Nephi, and their scribal training as they would have been understood by their contemporaries. Lehi and Nephi are shown to be the beneficiaries of the most advanced scribal training available in 7th century …

Exosomes are cell-derived nanovesicles that have recently gained popularity as potential biomarkers in liquid biopsies due to the large amounts of molecular cargo they carry, such as nucleic acids and proteins. However, most existing exosome-based analytical sensing methods struggle to achieve high sensitivity and high selectivity simultaneously. In this work, we present an electrochemical micro-aptasensor for the highly sensitive detection of exosomes by integrating a micropatterned electrochemical aptasensor and a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) signal amplification method. Specifically, exosomes are enriched on CD63 aptamer-functionalized electrodes and then recognized by HCR products with avidin-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) attached using EpCAM aptamers as …
