Boron In The Marine Atmosphere, Thomas R. Fogg Jan 1983

Boron In The Marine Atmosphere, Thomas R. Fogg

Open Access Dissertations

Atmospheric boron has been separated into gaseous and particulate components for the first time by passing air through a simple impregnated filter sampling system. A Nuclepore filter for particulate boron collection preceded KOH impregnated Whatman 41 filters for gaseous boron collection. The filters were contained in a single 47 mm filter holder. Boron was determined by visible spectrophotometry with 2,4-dinitro-1,8-naphthalene dial (DNNDO) and brilliant green. This method was employed to allow short time scale variations of atmospheric boron to be measured. The goal of this work was to investigate the role of the oceans on atmospheric boron. Gaseous and particulate …

The Use Of Isolate Children As Peer Modifiers In The Treatment Of Social Skills Deficits, Diane Marques Jan 1983

The Use Of Isolate Children As Peer Modifiers In The Treatment Of Social Skills Deficits, Diane Marques

Open Access Master's Theses

Increasing amounts of attention have been paid in recent years to the effects of peer interaction on healthy development in children. The present study taught isolate children to act as peer modifiers in a semi-structured play group, delivering reinforcement for two classes of play initiations. Frequency of the two classes of play initiations, amount of positive reinforcement delivered, negative behavior and hovering emitted by isolates was recorded on a daily basis in a free play session preceding treatment.

Five isolate children were selected using the standardized criteria in the Social Assessment Manual for Preschool Level. Using a multiple base line …

Binding Affinity Of Beta-Adrenoceptors In Atria Of Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic And Normal Rats, Edward James Mckenna Jan 1983

Binding Affinity Of Beta-Adrenoceptors In Atria Of Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic And Normal Rats, Edward James Mckenna

Open Access Master's Theses

Diabetes mellitus is associated with a reduced responsiveness to catecholamines. The reduced responsiveness may be attributable to a reduction in beta-adrenoceptor sensitivity to catecholamines. Radioligand binding studies demonstrate that chemically-induced diabetes reduces beta-adrenoceptor number without altering betaadrenoceptor drug binding affinities. The present study re-examines the effect of chronic (10 weeks) streptozotocin-induced diabetes in the rat on beta-adrenoceptor drug binding affinity, using pharmacological techniques, to test the results of the binding studies. The study employed two different methods: partial irreversible receptor blockade and the use of a partial agonist, to determine betaadrenoceptor agonist binding affinity and the method of competitive antagonism …


John Henry Newman And The Significance Of Theistic Proof, Mary Susan Glasson Jan 1983

John Henry Newman And The Significance Of Theistic Proof, Mary Susan Glasson

Open Access Master's Theses

The central problem of this paper is to decide the significance of formal argument for God's existence, in light of John Henry Newman's distinction between notional and real assent. If God in fact exists, then only real assent to the proposition asserting his existence is adequate. Notional assent is inadequate because it is assent to a notion or abstraction, and not to a present reality. But on Newman's view it is notional assent which normally follows on a formal inference, therefore the significance of traditional formal arguments is thrown into question.

Newman has claimed that our attitude toward a proposition …


Structural And Systemic Change In Norms And Roles: An Eskimo Example, Marianne Frances Mcnabb Jan 1983

Structural And Systemic Change In Norms And Roles: An Eskimo Example, Marianne Frances Mcnabb

Open Access Master's Theses

This thesis examines the integration of Eskimo norms and roles in Northwest Alaska, with particular emphasis on the changing roles of women. The hypothesis states that changes in Eskimo norms and role relations are influenced by Western social factors that impede traditional Eskimo adaptive processes. The principal methodology utilized was participant observation, which involved observation and participation in the full range of summer subsistence fishing, hunting and gathering activities and other elements of women's daily social and economic life in a small Eskimo village, Kiana, during the summer of 1976. Additional data were collected during subsequent visits in 1980 and …

Three-Dimensional Analysis Of Turning Within Airborne Bird Flocks, Harold Pomeroy Jan 1983

Three-Dimensional Analysis Of Turning Within Airborne Bird Flocks, Harold Pomeroy

Open Access Dissertations

The three-dimensional structure of airborne pigeon flocks was monitored over time. Flocks changed both in overall shape, and in compactness during the execution of turns. Flight speeds of the flocks were sensitive to the vertical rather than the horizontal component of a turn. The compactness of flocks did not seem to change in relation to speed maintained during turns or sharpness of turns.

The cues to which birds responded in adjusting their flight paths may be important in determining flock compactness. Birds within flocks responded to each other's position and maintained positions close to each other. In a flock groups. …
