Biogeography And Physiological Adaptations Of The Brine Fly Genus Ephydra (Diptera: Ephydridae) In Saline Waters Of The Great Basin, David B. Herbst

Great Basin Naturalist

Four species of the genus Ephydra are commonly found in saline waters within the hydrologic Great Basin: E. hians, E. gracilis, E. packardi, and E. auripes. Though none of these brine flies is endemic (distributions also occur outside the Great Basin), they all inhabit distinctive habitat types and form the characteristic benthic insect fauna of inland saline-water habitats. The affinities of each species for different salinity levels and chemical compositions, and ephemeral to perennial habitats, appear to form the basis for biogeographic distribution patterns. Within any habitat, changing salinity conditions over time may impose physiological or ecological constraints …

Preadolescents With Attachment Disorders: An Explanatory Study In A Residential Treatment Center, Teresina J. Schellinger

Theses and Graduate Projects

An increasing number of children are failing to develop secure attachments to caregivers. Many are involved with the child welfare system and display an overwhelming number of problems--emotional, cognitive, developmental, physical, moral, behavioral, and social. This exploratory study using qualitative and quantitative methods addresses how one residential treatment center has worked with this population. Case records, selected through a purposive sampling, of 14 discharged preadolescents and information from key informants support findings of this research. Themes discovered assist this treatment center, and possibly others, in understanding the relationship between the behavioral and therapeutic needs of these children and the practice …

Reproductive Ecology Of Bison On Antelope Island, Utah, Michael L. Wolfe, Milan P. Shipka, John F. Kimball

Great Basin Naturalist

Autumn musters of bison (Bison bison) on Antelope Island State Park, Utah, conducted annually since 1987, provided data on temporal and age-specific reproductive patterns and a basis to evaluate the efficacy of management measures implemented to elevate reproductive performance in the herd. Pregnancy rates were variable and low (x̄ = 46.2%) in comparison to other free-ranging, noncommercial bison herds in North America. Cows in the 3- and >6-yr age classes exhibited lower-than-expected pregnancy rates (P < 0.05). Annual pregnancy rates showed a significant (r = 0.64, P = 0.047) linear decline of 2.5% per annum. Variance in distribution of fetal ages observed in 6 …

Assortative Mating In Soldier Beetles (Cantharidae, Chauliognathus): Test Of The Mate-Choice Hypothesis, Ruth Bernstein, Stephen Bernstein

Great Basin Naturalist

Soldier beetles of 2 species, Chauliognathus basalis and C. deceptus, were examined to test the Crespi hypothesis that positive assortative mating by size is caused by mate choice. Specifically, we tested the prediction that if mate choice involves choosing the largest mate available, then mating individuals will be larger than nonmating individuals. Four samples were taken, at different times during the mating season, from each of 2 sites. Each sample consisted of mating pairs, nonmating males, and nonmating females. Some of the samples contained beetles of both species; others contained beetles of a single species. For each gender elytron …

Remarkable Waxing, Waning, And Wandering Of Populations Of Mimulus Guttatus: An Unexpected Example Of Global Warming, Robert K. Vickery Jr.

Great Basin Naturalist

The purpose of this study was to observe the dynamics of a meta-population of Mimulus guttatus. Changes in size and location of 16 original populations and the new populations established in their vicinities in Big Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake County, Utah, were observed for 25 yr. Twenty-three new populations appeared. Seven original populations and 13 new populations had become extinct by the end of the observation period in 1996. Many populations died out and were reestablished, often repeatedly, during the observation period. Altogether there were 54 population disappearances and 34 reappearances. Many populations changed sized as much as 100-fold …

Paper Session Iii-B - Earth, Continuing To Be A Better Place To Live From International Endeavors In Space, Ronald A. Caswell

Space Congress® Proceedings

For the last millennium civilizations have built temples and structures that looked to the sky and lined up with the stars at special times of the year. Before light pollution, mankind saw the night sky clearly and pondered daily his place in the heavens. True access to space has taken place in the last one hundred years and started with Russia's Konstantin Edvardovich Tsiolkovsky's first writings about staged rockets to escape Earth's gravity and with Robert Goddard's humble beginnings. The first rocket to escape Earth's atmosphere was launched by Wernher von Braun' team October 3rd 1942 from Peenemunde Germany. Mankind …

Paper Session Iii-B - Development Of Biomolecular Techniques For The Analysis Of Gravity Sensing Mechanisms In Space Flight Specimens: Applications In Biomedicine And Gravitational Biology, K. M. Johnson, J. E. Love

Space Congress® Proceedings

On Earth, the origin and evolution of life has been influenced by constant exposure to a gravitational field. An ever-present epigenetic (extrinsic) force of one gravitational unit (1g) affects the morphology, development, physiology, and behavior of living organisms; the extent and diversity of adaptations to this force underscore its importance as an environmental factor1,2. Changes in the gravitational environment often have drastic and pleiotropic consequences, and have been described empirically for numerous organisms ranging from humans and mice to snails and plants, and even bacteria3,4. We must be able to compensate for these changes before we can plan any long-term …

A Study Of The Use Of Computer Technology By Students With Special Needs, Debra A. Mercincavage

Theses and Dissertations

A study was conducted to investigate the use of computer technology during the instruction of students with special needs. The study examined how computer technology was used during instruction by special education teachers and by students with mild disabilities and students with severe disabilities. The relationship between the category of student with special needs, the academic areas of Language Arts and Mathematics and the computer application used during instruction were the focus of the research. Special education teachers of students with mild and students of severe disabilities teaching in a variety of classroom setting were surveyed. Teachers of students with …

Human Solidary : A Reconciliation Between Plato And Rorty, Larina M. Orlando

Honors Theses

In Contingency, irony and solidarity, Richard Rorty outlines his conception of the ideal liberal utopia, wherein moral change results from the substitution of Freedom for Truth as "the goal of thinking and of social progress" (xiii). Rorty maintains that autonomous self-creation and human solidarity are not to be united in a "single vision" (xiv), but rather, "the closest we will come to joining these two quests is to see the aim of a just and free society as letting its citizens be as privatistic, 'irrationalist', and aestheticist as they please so long as they do it on their own …
