Theses and Dissertations

In the Williston Basin, the Winnipegosis Formation is the major carbonate unit of the initial transgressive-regressive pulse of the Kaskaskia sequence. Twenty-two lithofacies were identified by well-log, core, and thin-section studies of Winnipegosis rocks; these belong to seven environments of deposition which include deep basin, deep shelf, shallow shelf, reef, lagoon, tidal flat, and evaporite basin. The deposition of the Winnipegosis and Prairie Formations were inter-related and occurred during six episodes. Following a brief hiatus separating the underlying Ashern Formation from the Winnipegosis, a clear, quiet, shallow-marine environment became established in the North Dakota portion of the Elk Point Basin. …

A Comparison Of Homosexuals' And Heterosexuals' Love And Friend Relationships, Nanette M. Gorman

Theses and Dissertations

The present investigation employed Wright's self-referent model of relationships in the examination of homosexual relationships. It was hypothesized that the voluntary interdependence and person-qua-person scales would be higher for female homosexuals than for female heterosexuals. For both male and female homosexual relationships, it was hypothesized that ego support value, self-affirmation value, security value, and maintenance difficulty would be higher for homosexuals, with maintenance difficulty being higher for male homosexual love relationships than lesbian love relationships. In terms of love relationships, it was expected that homosexual males would provide lower scores than homosexual females for exclusivity and emotional salience.
