Master's Projects

Bay Area living affords unique opportunities for study. The continuing surge in high technology employment has attracted thousands to Northern California and the Bay Area. Expansion of the Bay Area’s economy, and of its population, has created a fervent pressure to develop on both commercial and residential fronts.

The pace of development has made the creation of recreational spaces difficult. Housing required to accommodate this explosive growth in population has increased the cost of land to such high levels that civic capacity to acquire land for recreational purposes has been hampered.

Integrating Residential Care Facilities Into Neighborhoods, Leila H. Moncharsh

Master's Projects

This report examines the issue of integrating residential care facilities (RCFs) into neighborhoods from three perspectives: legal, social scientific research, and from a zoning regulatatory approach. RCFs serve a wide range of disabled persons, but the report focuses mainly upon RCF clients who suffer from mental illness, AIDS/HIV, and drug addiction - i.e., the type of clients that most neighborhoods would not welcome. Rather than focusing, however, upon blaming neighbors or clients, this report deals with recognizing that there can be very real impacts from RCFs located in a neighborhood and looks at ways to address the impacts. The report …

Evaluation Of Stomoxys Calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae) Behavioral Response To Human And Related Odors In A Triple Cage Olfactometer With Insect Traps, Raul A. Alzogaray, David A. Carlson

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

A triple cage olfactometer provided with insect traps was used for evaluating behavioral responses of Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) females to human skin and breath, CO₂, and L-lactic acid analogs. After demonstrating there were no significant differences caused by cage location or time of day, 3 sets of 3 olfactometer tests were performed in a day, every 2 h beginning at 0900 hours. When a human hand was used as attractant, the attraction (expressed as percentage of trapped flies) increased as a function of the time; an inverted U-shaped relationship between attractancy and air speed was observed; and variation …

An Examination Of Local Newspaper Photographs Of The Wounded Knee Occupation Of 1973, Anne Katherine Schmidt

Student Work

In February of 1973, the American Indian Movement occupied the small village of Wounded Knee. AIM’s purpose was twofold, to increase awareness of the plight of Native Americans in the area and to remove the Tribal Chairman, Richard Wilson. AIM used the historic site of Wounded Knee and stereotypical images of Indians in hopes of gaining national attention through the media. AIM thought this media attention was necessary in order to bring about change. Portrayals of Native Americans in the media have for the most part been stereotypical. Evidence of this can be found in the extensive research on Native …
