The Tilston interval sediments were deposited on the eastern flank of the Williston basin of North Dakota, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The interval (Osagian) is composed of a basal carbonate and upper anhy drite in the predominantly carbonate Mississippian Madison Formation.

Modification Of Stimulation Seeking Behavior In Psychopaths Using Hypnotic Sensory Imagery Conditioning, Franklin D. Deforest

Theses and Dissertations

Recent theorizing has postulated that there exists for every individual an optimal level of arousal. Deviations from this optimal state produce discomfort which motivates behaviors aimed at remediation. Potential causes of underarousal include the attenuation of perceptual input and excessively rapid habituation to sensory input. Both of these processes have been linked dynamically to the psychopathic condition. Presumably, in the context of restricted opportunities for involvement in highly stimulating activities, the psychopathic individual attempts to alleviate the stress caused by chronic sensory deprivation through participation in illegal behaviors. The present investigation has attempted to clarify the dynamic picture with regards …

A History Of Coal Development In North Dakota, Colleen A. Oihus

Theses and Dissertations

Lignite coal, one of North Dakota's natural resources, is at the present time an issue of great concern for North Dakotans. This thesis explores the historical stages in the development of the lignite industry. During the 1804-1873 era, lignite was only an object of curiosity to the frontier element. As the frontier receded, the outlines of the lignite industry began to take form. From 1873 to 1900, large underground coal mining companies and smaller operations grew in number and size. The railroad freight rates on lignite shipments caused problems for the young industry during the 1890's.
