Agency/Communion Balance And Its Relationship To Sex Role Stereotyping, Dorothy Thompson

Open Access Dissertations

The purpose of this investigation was to examine a model of interacting with life situations which does not carry with it the restrictions implicit in the masculinity-femininity-androgeny concepts. However, the model includes positive aspects of behavior generally imbedded in the masculinity- femininity concepts. This model utilizes David Bakan's (1966) concepts of agency and communion, modifying his description of these modes of interacting and positing a complementary (completing, non-conflicting) relation between them. An agency/communion theoretical model was developed which emphasizes the potential for balance between the modes. Problems with the traditional gender dichotomy were discussed. The transcending of sex roles and …

Analysis Of Chilean Fisheries Expansion Alternatives, Luis Alberto Adriasola

Open Access Dissertations

This dissertation investigates the expansion of the Chilean fisheries focusing on the processing and marketing activities for seven fish species that represent over 90% of the catch and for two groups of the remaining fish species. A review is made of the current condition of the Chilean fisheries, its expansion potential and some possible expansion alternatives. It is established that there exists an ample potential for the expansion of the catch and physical production of fishery commodities. A model is developed to characterize the economic system formed by the fisheries extractive and related activities and assess the profitability of investment …

Ecology Of Parathemisto Libellula And P. Pacifica (Amphipoda: Hyperiidea) In Alaskan Coastal Waters, Bruce L. Wing

Open Access Dissertations

The planktonic amphipods Parathemisto libellula and P. pacifica coexist in coastal waters from southeastern Alaska (56° N) to the south-eastern Chukchi Sea (70° N). Observations on distribution, reproductive cycles, diets, metabolism, and starvation tolerance contribute to understanding this case of congeneric coexistence.

Samples were collected monthly from September 1969 to October 1970 in southeastern Alaska, from May to September 1969 in the southeastern Bering Sea, and in September-October 1970 in the southeastern Chukchi Sea. Respiratory metabolism and starvation tolerance were studied in winter-caught amphipods from southeastern Alaska.

Both species consistently occurred above 300 min southeastern Alaska. In the southeastern Bering …

Competition And Resource Partitioning In Two Species Of Cancer (Crustacea, Brachyura), Michael J. Fogarty

Open Access Master's Theses

Interspecific interactions of four decapod (Crustacea) species were assessed in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island using aspects of current community theory. Microhabitat distribution was analyzed for three brachyuran species, Carcinus maenas, Cancer irroratus and Cancer borealis and for the American lobster, Homarus americanus. Various microhabitats differed in spatial heterogeneity and ultimately in available shelter sites. Shelter may constitute a limiting resource and competition for this resource may be important in the structuring of the decapod community.

Habitat selection studies for two of the species, Cancer irroratus and Cancer borealis indicated s reduction in the fundamental niche of Cancer irroratus …

Participatory Metaphysics: A Study Of The Thought Of Gabriel Marcel, Theresa Tonon

Open Access Master's Theses

This thesis is concerned with the Philosophy of Gabriel Marcel. Specifically, the emphasis will be on what Marcel takes to be the unique epistemological demands of metaphysical subject matters.

Metaphysics, once considered the "Queen of the Sciences" has for some time been challenged in its position as a legitimate and/or viable philosophical discipline. This attitude toward metaphysics has been expressed in the philosophical community as either active, direct attack or, more recently, passive neglect -- ‘ignore-ance’ -- which perhaps suggests that the dominant feeling among members, the philosophical community may be that metaphysics simply no longer warrants any attention at …

Effect Of Continuous Inhalation Of Ethanol Vapors In The Rat, Steven W. Mann

Open Access Master's Theses

Rats were exposed to continuous inhalation of ethanol vapors in an inhalation chamber plus daily injections of an alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor pyrazole (68 mg/kg, i.p.). Ethanol vapors entered the inhalation chamber at flow rates of from o.45 liters/min. to 0.95 liters/min. which when mixed with a constant stream of air (5.0 liters/min) produced chamber concentrations of from approximately 8.8 mg/liter to 26.5 mg/liter. Rats exposed to these conditions for 5 to 7 days developed blood ethanol levels of 0.83± 0.09 mg/ml/blood to 2.19 ± 0.14 mg/ml/blood. Administration of pyrazole with or without ethanol caused weight loss in these rats. Rats …

Hydrocarbon Analysis Of Surface Seawater And Beach Sand By Infrared Absorption Methods, Wai-Ping Teresa Lee

Open Access Dissertations

Qualitative and quantitative measurements of hydrocarbon contents in the marine environment are very important because of their persistence and the possible toxicity to all aquatic organisms A rapid method for analyzing hydrocarbons in marine surface estuarine waters and beach sands was developed Infrared spectroscopy was employed as the main analytical tool for both qualitative and quantitative determination of. hydrocarbons found in the marine environment. In addition to infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography was also used in some parts of this study for characterizing the samples. Thin-layer chromatography was used to separate the sample to its separable fractions according to different polarities. …
