Children's Understanding Of The Physical Realities Of Death., William Conrad Devereux

Theses and Dissertations

Children's knowledge of the physical realities of death was explored through the use of an objective answer death concepts questionnaire. A demographic questionnaire was used to identify religious influences and exposure to death-relevant experiences which could influence the acquisition of factual information about death.Knowledge of death was expected to be related to grade level, cognitive level, IQ level, religious influences and death-relevant experiences. Children's exposure to death-relevant experiences was expected to begin at an early age and increase with grade level and with cognitive level.One hundred and thirty-seven children in kindergarten, second, fourth, and sixth grades were individually administered the …

Male And Female Strategies For Reproduction In Lesser Scaup (Forced Copulation, Parental Investment, Manitoba, Canada), Alan Daynne Afton

Theses and Dissertations

I studied the reproductive behavior and performance of a marked population of lesser scaup (Aythya affinis) near Erickson, Manitoba from 1977 to 1980. The dissertation is comprised of 3 parts: (1) influence of age and time on female reproductive performance, (2) forced copulation as a male reproductive strategy, and (3) parental time investment by brood hens.Arrival date and length of prelaying period varied among years, but were not related to female age. Rate of nonbreeding and nest initiation date varied among years and by female age. Age variation in nonbreeding was due to failure of yearlings and a few 2-year-olds …

Phagocytic Response During Iron Deficiency., Kathleen Ann Murphy

Theses and Dissertations

Severe iron depletion has been associated with an increased susceptibility to infectious diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess phagocyte function and resistance to infection with Staphylococcus aureus during not only severe, but also moderate and marginal states of iron depletion.An experimental animal model of iron deficiency was developed in BALB/c mice. The amount of dietary iron supplementation was varied to attain different levels of iron deficiency. Tissue iron stores (liver, spleen, granulocyte), hemoglobins, and hematocrits correlated directly to the level of dietary iron supplementation. Comparison of food consumption and body weights of iron-deficient and sufficient animals indicated …

Maternal Distance Versus Symbiosis And Toddler-Mother Attachment During The Second Year Of Life, Robert A. Harms

Theses and Dissertations

This study was undertaken to relate individual differences along a Mahler-derived dimension of maternal distance-symbiosis to Ainsworth's patterns of infant-mother attachment and to assess cross-sectionally the normative appearance of Mahler's subphase of rapprochement (a restoring of close relations with the mother) in the middle of the second year of life. Sixty mother-toddler pairs, 20 each at the toddler ages of 12, 18, and 24 months evenly divided by sex, were observed in the Ainsworth and Wittig laboratory Strange Situation. Toddlers were classified according to the Ainsworth system into Group A (insecurely attached/ avoidant), Group B (securely attached), and Group C …

Bromine Chloride Treatment Of Aqueous Gasifier Effluent, Theodore T. Poppke

Theses and Dissertations

The feasibility of treating slagging gasifier wastewater with bromine chloride was studied. The aqueous effluent was collected from the spray washer of the Grand Forks Energy Technology Center's slagging fixed-bed gasifier during run RA-94.

It was found that slagging gasifier wastewater is only partially treatable using bromine chloride as the principal treatment step. After a pretreatment scheme consisting of lime addition and ammonia stripping, bromine chloride was unable to reduce the total carbon concentration of the wastewater to acceptable discharge or reuse levels.

Bromine chloride addition as an aqueous solution, a liquid, and a vapor was investigated. Bromine chloride vapor …

Movement And Behavior Of Walleye, Stizostedion Vitruem Vitreum (Mitchell), In Jamestown Reservoir, North Dakota, As Determined By Biotelemetry, Clinton B. Hall

Theses and Dissertations

Radio biotelemetry was used to study the movements and behavior of walleyes in Jamestown Reservoir during the summer of 1980. Four walleyes weighing from 1.7 to 4.4 kg were surgically implanted with radio transmitters. Only one fish could be successfully tracked. It was found that conductivity prevented the reception of radio signals from water deeper than 4.5 m. In 1981, eight walleyes were surgically implanted with ultrasonic transmitters. The ultrasonic transmitters performed as expected. Seven walleyes were successfully tracked throughout the summer. Two of the walleyes appeared to be nomadic and did not form activity areas. Five walleyes formed activity …

Mechanisms Underlying The Digoxin-Quinidine Interaction, Jonathan D. Geiger

Theses and Dissertations

The clinically relevant interaction between quinidine and digoxin was investigated using unanesthetized and unrestrained guinea pigs for in vivo pharmacokinetic and tissue disposition as well as in vitro [’H]-digoxin binding studies using brain region preparations from dog, guinea pig and rat. Quinidine (3 mg/kg) caused significant elevation of plasma levels of digoxin as early as 5 minutes post-injection and the increase persisted for at least 8 hours. Significant decrease (20%) in the volume of distribution of digoxin was observed in quinidine treated animals. The decreased volume of distribution appeared to be due to displacement of digoxin from tissue stores by …

The Effects Of Conceptual Factors On Visual Masking, Damon G. Labarbera

Theses and Dissertations

Potter (1975, 1976) has shown that visual masks can exert effects both at the level of the icon and at higher levels of processing. Her methodology involved presenting pictures in a sequence at very fast rates, in order to mimic naturalistic saccadic viewing. The present study used similar methodology in order to investigate whether a picture which violates an expectation about pictures in that series exerts more of a masking effect than a picture which coincides with the expectation.

Each of 38 subjects was shown 36 sequences of eight pictures. In nine trials, every picture in the trial was drawn …
