The Possible Influence Of Nestbox Size On Nesting Behavior And Reproductive Success In The House Wren (Troglodytes Aedon), Mary Anne Sydlik Aug 1980

The Possible Influence Of Nestbox Size On Nesting Behavior And Reproductive Success In The House Wren (Troglodytes Aedon), Mary Anne Sydlik

Masters Theses

Recent studies (Lohrl 1973i Karlsson and Nilsson 1977) have shown that there may be a relationship between nestbox size and clutch size in several passerine species. The present study was designed to determine whether nestbox size influences the clutch size and reproductive success of House Wrens (Troglodytes aedon) and to test possible cues a female might utilize to assess the size of a given nestbox. Four types of nestboxes were used in the study; they varied in floor surface from 3 inches by 3 inches to 8 inches by 8 inches. No statistically significant differences in clutch size or reproductive …

An Examination Of Certain Factors Which Contributed To The Separation Of Central America From Spain: 1808-1821, John R. Permesang Aug 1980

An Examination Of Certain Factors Which Contributed To The Separation Of Central America From Spain: 1808-1821, John R. Permesang

Masters Theses

The separation of Central America from Spain in 1321 was, unlike other similar occurrences, a peaceful event. This thesis, after presenting an historical overview, narrates certain happenings in the area during the thirteen years prior to the gaining of political independence. Commencing with the Napoleonic invasion of Spain in 1808, this thesis places special emphasis on political changes in the Spanish Empire which were brought about through the adoption of a liberal Spanish constitution in 1812. In Central America the new measures were opposed by a recently appointed Captain-General who effectively frustrated any creole ambitions towards having an enlightened government. …

Variations In The Depositional Environment Of The Lower Cincinnatian Kope Formation, Thomas K. Mahan Aug 1980

Variations In The Depositional Environment Of The Lower Cincinnatian Kope Formation, Thomas K. Mahan

Masters Theses

In northern Kentucky, the Upper Ordovician (Lower Cincinnatian) Kope Formation outcrops as a series of interbedded, laterally discontinuous limestone lenses and beds enclosed in a silty shale unit. Six stratigraphic sections within a 20-mile radius were sampled and measured and two of these were described in detail to characterize the variations in the environmental setting wherein the Kope Formation was deposited.

The shale lithology is homogeneous throughout this formation whereas the bioclastic limestones vary widely in faunal composition, texture, cross-sectional shape, and thickness. Apparently, the depositional style for the fine-grained, terrigenous sediment remained almost constant through Early Cincinnatian time, whereas …

Biological Studies On Some Ghanats Of Iran, Fardin Oliaei Apr 1980

Biological Studies On Some Ghanats Of Iran, Fardin Oliaei

Masters Theses

The present study was undertaken to monitor the quality of drinking water in the ghanats of Tehran during 1978-1979. Four sites were chosen, and various limnological parameters were investigated.

Physical-chemical analyses were evaluated to determine the composition of the water. There was no significant pollution related to chemical-physical parameters.

Planktonic samples were analyzed with the aid of a Sedgewich-Rafter counting cell. A total of 47 genera were found in all four ghanats.

The planktonic population declined dramatically in winter. Mean diversity and equitability of the algae showed no significant level of pollution and degradation in the study areas.

The Effects Of Staff Training, Incentive, And Information And Feedback On Incidence Of Vandalism In A Dormitory Setting, Donald G. Landeck Apr 1980

The Effects Of Staff Training, Incentive, And Information And Feedback On Incidence Of Vandalism In A Dormitory Setting, Donald G. Landeck

Masters Theses

The effects of staff training, incentive, and information and feedback on incidence of vandalism were compared in a four dormitory complex. The staff training condition was implemented on resident advisors and taught alcohol education, confrontation skills, and programming skills. For the incentive dormitory, residents received money in a floor fund which was then exchanged for back-up reinforcers. Residents in the information and feedback dormitory were prompted to reduce vandalism via flyers, activities, and a feedback chart posted on each floor. All dormitories experienced an increase in the drinking age from 18 to 21 years of age during the second semester …
