A Drift Towards Nostalgia: The River Trip As Journal Of A Changing View Of American Wilderness, Richard D. Davis Jan 1980

A Drift Towards Nostalgia: The River Trip As Journal Of A Changing View Of American Wilderness, Richard D. Davis

Master's Theses

As early as the 1820s and 1830s, observers of the American scene, such as George Catlin, John James Audubon, and Alexis de Tocqueville, were expressing misgivings over the rapid settlement of the American West. In their concern over the passing of pristine landscapes and native cultures was a note of nostalgia for an earlier time, the era of exploration, whose journals echoed the freshness of discovery and spoke of the beauty and inexhaustible promise of the New World. The elegiac tone has become more explicit in our own time. In the works of twentieth century writers is seen a haunting …


The Importance Of An Educational Phase To The Stress Inoculation Of Anxiety, Susan Elizabeth Naggs Aug 1979

The Importance Of An Educational Phase To The Stress Inoculation Of Anxiety, Susan Elizabeth Naggs

Master's Theses

The purpose of this study was to examine the importance of an educational component to the stress inoculation training (SIT) package, as well as the generalization of such training to non-targeted stressors. Twenty-eight students from introductory speech classes at the University of Richmond were matched in sets of four and placed into one of the following groups: Ed only, Skills only, Combo, and No treatment Control. Pre and post measures of anxiety were obtained through the administration of the STAI, SE, TAS, and AAT scales. The three treatment groups attended a speech anxiety workshop where various components of the SIT …

Images Of Women And Men In Contemporary Pop Song: Production And Perception, Gloriaa Norgang

Master's Theses

This study explored the images of women and men presented in the 1978 top 25 pop songs. An evaluation of these images was made by 23 women and 21 men. Each evaluator chose one of seven descriptors (objectifier, diminutizer, user, appreciating, used, diminutized, and objectified) to describe each female and male character in each pop song. Chi square analyses indicated that the sex of character effect on the descriptor frequencies was significant for women and men evaluators. Differences between women and men evaluators were not significant for female nor male characters. Analyses of data from both women and men evaluators …


Salt Appetite During Acute Sodium Deficiency In The Gerbil, Elvira K. Perewiznyk Aug 1979

Salt Appetite During Acute Sodium Deficiency In The Gerbil, Elvira K. Perewiznyk

Master's Theses

In the present study, two experiments were conducted to examine the gerbil's response to acute sodium deficiency. Adult male gerbils were either exposed to a 1% b.w. subcutaneous injection of 1.5% formalin or a vehicle control injection. Within each injection level, half the animals were further assigned to either an isotonic saline or a water vehicle. Immediately following the injection, each S had access to isotonic saline and water as their drinking fluid. The formalin dissolved in water group displayed a significant increase in saline consumption, but at the same time decreased their water intake, in comparison to the water …


A Test Of Two Theories Of The Necker Cube Reversal Illusion, Phillip Powers Woodson Jr. May 1979

A Test Of Two Theories Of The Necker Cube Reversal Illusion, Phillip Powers Woodson Jr.

Master's Theses

The Necker cube reversal illusion was used to test the satiational and constructional theories of this illusion in an experimental paradigm. The paradigm involved one group of 51 university students who were tested under three experimental conditions. All three test sessions involved their watching a Necker cube for a continuous 2 minute period. Each session was separated by at least a 1-day interval. One session involved the plain cube. Another session involved a fixation mark in the center of the cube and a third session had the mark sequentially appearing in four different locations in the central region of the …


Field Dependence And Recall Of Related And Unrelated Lists Of Words, Lynda L. King May 1979

Field Dependence And Recall Of Related And Unrelated Lists Of Words, Lynda L. King

Master's Theses

This study dealt with the particular cognitive style known as field-independence and field-dependence as an influential factor upon the number of words recalled from categorized and uncategorized lists of words across three trials. After being tested for cognitive style using Witkin's Group Embedded Figures Test, 6 subjects from each of three identified styles, field-independent, medium, and field-dependent, were given a related (categorized) list of words while 6 different subjects from each of the cognitive styles were given an unrelated (uncategorized) list of words. Each word list was presented three times with recall after each trial for every subject being recorded. …

Baron Von Steuben And The Military Forces In Virginia During The British Invasions Of 1780-1781, Michael Mcmillen Decker

Master's Theses

The subject of this thesis is Major-General the Baron von Steuben and his role in military events in Virginia during 1780-1781. Steuben came south in November 1780 with Major-General Nathanael Greene to help re-form, re-equip, and re-man the Southern Army. Finding Virginia potentially valuable, General Greene detached General Steuben soon after their arrival with the primary mission to remain and expedite supplies and manpower southward. While so engaged, Steuben also assumed a secondary mission when he found himself, for a time, military commander of the Continental and state militia forces in Virginia. His performance from November 1780 until October 1781 …

Growth And Food Habits Of Micropterus Salmoides In Westhampton Lake, Richmond, Virginia, Charles H. Rawls

Master's Theses

Age, growth, and food habits of the population of Micropterus salmoides (largemouth bass) in Westhampton Lake were studied from September to November, 1978. Two year classes (O and I) were identified by determining numbers of annuli on the scales of the fish. Growth data indicated that the bass attain a size of 254 mm (10 in.) near the end of their second summer. The length-weight relationship was log W = - 4.6829 + 2.9153 log TL. The Fulton condition factor for the population was 1.40. Food habits were described by numerical and frequency of occurrence methods. Young of the year …


The Role Of Na+ + K+ -Activated Adenosine Triphosphatase In The Osmoregulating Marsh Clam, Rangia Cuneata, David Goodwin Sainting Jan 1979

The Role Of Na+ + K+ -Activated Adenosine Triphosphatase In The Osmoregulating Marsh Clam, Rangia Cuneata, David Goodwin Sainting

Master's Theses

The marsh clam, Rangia cuneata has been shown in other laboratories to maintain body fluid osmolality above that of the medium in salinities below 10 o/oo. Since the membrane bound enzyme Na ++ K+ - ATPase has been implicated in the osmoregulatory processes in many aquatic organisms, the levels of Na++K+-ATPase activity and 3H-ouabain binding in homogenized tissue samples from mantle, gill, rectum, ventricle, kidney, and foot (including epithelial and muscle tissue) were measured. Mantle, kidney, and gill contained substantial concentrations o f Na + +K+ -AT Pase acti. vi. ty an d 3H- ouab ai. n bin d"i ng …


The Role Of Socio-Economic Status In Determining Voting Behavior In Richmond, Virginia, Arthur Henry Verburg Jan 1979

The Role Of Socio-Economic Status In Determining Voting Behavior In Richmond, Virginia, Arthur Henry Verburg

Master's Theses

The question as to why an individual votes as he does has been a much-researched and frequently debated source of inquiry. Many scholars over the years have examined the question from different approaches, utilizing a variety of data, and have arrived at several different answers. In this paper I will explore one such answer: the role of socio-economic status (SES). The area of study will be the City of Richmond, Virginia, during the years 1968-1973.


The Effects Of Ph On Chloride Flux In Fundulus Heteroclitus, Timothy Alton Washburn Jan 1979

The Effects Of Ph On Chloride Flux In Fundulus Heteroclitus, Timothy Alton Washburn

Master's Theses

The effects of increasing hydrogen ion concentration on rate of chloride influx and efflux were studied in the killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus, adapted to fresh water. Because increasing hydrogen ion concentrations have been shown to inhibit sodium influx and because evidence exists to support coupling of chloride transport with sodium transport, the present study was undertaken to determine what effect pH would have on rate of chloride flux. Chloride efflux rates were studied after the addition of sodium bicarbonate to the medium. No significant pH-dependent changes in efflux rate were observed, except at very low pH. Influx rates were significantly changed, …
