Gender Differences In The Effect Of Child Maltreatment On Criminal Activity Over The Life Course, Ryan E. Spohn Dec 2000

Gender Differences In The Effect Of Child Maltreatment On Criminal Activity Over The Life Course, Ryan E. Spohn

Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

This paper adds to a growing body of knowledge regarding the criminal consequences of childhood victimization. A prospective research design is used to compare a group of maltreated youth to a matched control group in order to determine the extent to which child abuse and neglect influence both juvenile delinquency and adult crime. Controlling for race and sex, abused and neglected children are more likely to have a juvenile arrest record. In addition, controlling for involvement in juvenile crime, child maltreatment also influences adult criminality. Motivated by the findings of qualitative studies focusing on female offenders, I examine gender differences …

Shaq, Lsu, The Degree V. Education, Richard C. Crepeau Dec 2000

Shaq, Lsu, The Degree V. Education, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Over the past several days much has been written about the graduation of Shaquille O'Neal from Louisiana State University. Indeed the event has been the butt of many jokes, one of which Shaq generated himself when he told people he was working on his degree at Learn Slow University. He now says that LSU means Love Shaq University.

Phase Diagram Of Three-Dimensional Dynamical Triangulations With A Boundary, Simon Catterall, Simeon Warner, Ray Renken Dec 2000

Phase Diagram Of Three-Dimensional Dynamical Triangulations With A Boundary, Simon Catterall, Simeon Warner, Ray Renken

Physics - All Scholarship

We use Monte Carlo simulation to study the phase diagram of three-dimensional dynamical triangulations with a boundary. Three phases are indentified and characterized. One of these phases is a new, boundary dominated phase; a simple argument is presented to explain its existence. First-order transitions are shown to occur along the critical lines separating phases.

Lived Ethnicity: Identity, Consciousness, And Discursive Practice In Grayling, Alaska, Brenden Raymond-Yakoubian Dec 2000

Lived Ethnicity: Identity, Consciousness, And Discursive Practice In Grayling, Alaska, Brenden Raymond-Yakoubian

Anthropology

This thesis is an analysis of data collected from academic, archival, and ethnographic inquiries into the lives, culture, and history of the residents of Grayling, Alaska. The main argument forwarded in this thesis is that forms of discursive practice provide a means, emic and etic, for critically engaging the historically and locally constructed web of meanings that inscribe and inform the lived social reality of ethnic identity of ethnic identity and consciousness in Grayling. Using a communicative-discursive theoretical framework, influences and forces which inform this 'lived ethnicity, ' the strands of the web, are understood dialogically - as discursive forms …

Motion And Calving At Leconte Glacier, Alaska, Shad O'Neel Dec 2000

Motion And Calving At Leconte Glacier, Alaska, Shad O'Neel

Theses (Unassigned)

An analysis of motion and calving in the terminus region of LeConte Glacier delineates controls which are important to tidewater glacier stability. Ice velocities in this region are quite high; at the terminus they exceed 27 m d⁻¹. Our analysis reveals fluctuations in velocity that are forced by ocean tides, surface melt and precipitation. However, the overall velocity is steady over seasonal time intervals. LeConte's terminus position varied substantially, even given this steady ice influx, establishing a correlation between the calving flux and the terminus position (flux out). Although this correlation is largely numerical, the occurrence of calving events is …

A Qualitative Study Of The Women And Children's Residential Treatment Center Substance Abuse Treatment Program, Phillip Elwyn Gilbert Dec 2000

A Qualitative Study Of The Women And Children's Residential Treatment Center Substance Abuse Treatment Program, Phillip Elwyn Gilbert

Psychology

This thesis presents the results of a formative process evaluation of the Fairbanks Native Association Women and Children's Residential Treatment Center abuse program using interviews, participant observation, and grounded theory methods of qualitative research. Eight clients and eight staff were interviewed across the domains of culture, spirituality and family. A theory of program operation emanated from and was grounded in the data: program functioning was significantly affected by the relationship perceived by the clients to exist between themselves, (their needs, values, desires, goals and world view) and the program's goals and priorities.

Spatial-Temporal Variation In Reproduction And Site Fidelity Of Spectacled Eiders On The Yukon-Kuskowkim Delta, Alaska, Christine Leigh Moran Dec 2000

Spatial-Temporal Variation In Reproduction And Site Fidelity Of Spectacled Eiders On The Yukon-Kuskowkim Delta, Alaska, Christine Leigh Moran

Biological Sciences

In response to recent decline, we compared migration and nesting chronology, nest success, and clutch size of spectacled eiders nesting at Kigigak Island with those nesting on Kashunuk River to better understand regulation of the spectacled eider breeding population on Y-K Delta. We also examined and compared subpopulation relationships between nest site fidelity and breeding performance. We examined the relationship between female age and distance moved between consecutive year nest sites. Clutch sizes were comparable between the two sites and declined seasonally with older females laying earlier and larger clutches. Mayfield nest success was higher due to lower predation and …

Juvenile Pacific Herring (Clupea Pallasi) Feeding Ecology In Prince William Sound, Alaska, Robert James Foy Dec 2000

Juvenile Pacific Herring (Clupea Pallasi) Feeding Ecology In Prince William Sound, Alaska, Robert James Foy

Fisheries

Pacific herring (Clupea pallasi) are commercially exploited along the Asiatic and North American Pacific Ocean continental shelves. In Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska, herring were commercially important until a year class failures in 1993. A noticeable lack of life history information on juveniles was available in PWS to use for studies addressing the failed recruitment. This study describes the seasonal herring feeding ecology in PWS nursery areas from 1996 to 1998. Zooplankton from 535 vertical tows and herring diet data from 3,282 stomach contents were collected from Eaglek, Simpson, Whale and Zaikof Bays. Zooplankton species composition was dominated by small …

Mitochondrial Dna Haplotype Genealogies And Population Histories In The Late Pleistocene: Contrasts Of Pink Salmon Broodyears, Dmitri Yurievich Churikov Dec 2000

Mitochondrial Dna Haplotype Genealogies And Population Histories In The Late Pleistocene: Contrasts Of Pink Salmon Broodyears, Dmitri Yurievich Churikov

Fisheries

Seven segments of mtDNA, comprising 97% of the mitochondrial genome, were PCR-amplified and examined for restriction site variation using 13 restriction endonucleases in three Oncorhynchus species: pink (O. gorbuscha), chum (O. keta), and sockeye (O. nerka) salmon. Multiple haplotypes, but shallow mtDNA trees were observed for each species. 'Star-like' structures indicating historical population explosions were observed in haplotype genealogies. Given reasonable rates of mtDNA sequence evolution, this may reflect recolonization of vast areas in Alaska after the last (Wisconsinian) or preceding (Illinoian) glacier retreats. The phylogeographic survey of 18 Alaskan and Eastern Asian pink salmon populations revealed a distinct phylogeographic …

Survival And Brood Rearing Ecology Of Emperor Geese, Joel A. Schmutz Dec 2000

Survival And Brood Rearing Ecology Of Emperor Geese, Joel A. Schmutz

Biological Sciences

Emperor Geese (Chen canagica) breed on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in an area inhabited by three other goose species. Whereas populations of other geese increased since the mid 1980s, Emperor Goose numbers remained low. Because survival and habitat selection by broods of Emeperor Geese had not been studied previously and numbers of predatory Glaucous Gulls (Larus hyperboreus) had recently increased, I studied brood rearing ecology of Emperor Geese during 1993-1996 to assess whether this seasonal period could be limiting population growth. Survival of goslings to 30 days varied among years from 0.32 to 0.70 and was primarily influenced by mortality during …

Effects Of Migratory Geese On Plant Communities And Nitrogen Dynamics In An Alaskan Salt Marsh, Amy Beach Zacheis Dec 2000

Effects Of Migratory Geese On Plant Communities And Nitrogen Dynamics In An Alaskan Salt Marsh, Amy Beach Zacheis

Biological Sciences

Herbivory is an integral component of ecosystems that impacts plant communities and ecosystem processes, and affects forage availability and quality for the herbivore. I investigated the effects of lesser snow geese (Anser caerulescens caerulescens) and Canada geese (Branta canadensis) on two salt marsh communities, a sedge meadow and an herb meadow, in Cook Inlet, Alaska. Geese used the marshes during spring migration for a brief period, and foraging intensity was low compared to other goose-grazing systems. Seventy percent of the snow goose diet was on belowground plant tissues, whereas 92% of the Canada goose diet was on aboveground shoots. In …

Systematics Of Beringian Threespine Sticklebacks, John S. Chythlook Dec 2000

Systematics Of Beringian Threespine Sticklebacks, John S. Chythlook

Biological Sciences

In Pleistocene Beringia, large-scale glaciations exposed high latitude species to variable environmental conditions that created disjunct populations of terrestrial and marine species. The general nature of the dynamic biogeographic history of Beringia can be assessed by studying genetic patterns across many Beringian organisms. Mitochondrial DNA sequences were used to study the phylogenetic and phylogeographic structure of the threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus. A 714 bp fragment of the cytochrome b gene was sequenced from 66 individuals from 17 locations extending from southeast Alaska northwest to coastal Siberia. These data were combined with 36 homologous cyt-b sequences from a previous study to …

Impaired Fast-Spiking, Suppressed Cortical Inhibition, And Increased Susceptibility To Seizures In Mice Lacking Kv3.2 K+ Channel Proteins, David Lau, Eleazar Vega-Saenz De Miera, Diego Contreras, Alan Chow, Richard Paylor, Christopher S. Leonard, Bernardo Rudy Dec 2000

Impaired Fast-Spiking, Suppressed Cortical Inhibition, And Increased Susceptibility To Seizures In Mice Lacking Kv3.2 K+ Channel Proteins, David Lau, Eleazar Vega-Saenz De Miera, Diego Contreras, Alan Chow, Richard Paylor, Christopher S. Leonard, Bernardo Rudy

NYMC Faculty Publications

Voltage-gated K(+) channels of the Kv3 subfamily have unusual electrophysiological properties, including activation at very depolarized voltages (positive to -10 mV) and very fast deactivation rates, suggesting special roles in neuronal excitability. In the brain, Kv3 channels are prominently expressed in select neuronal populations, which include fast-spiking (FS) GABAergic interneurons of the neocortex, hippocampus, and caudate, as well as other high-frequency firing neurons. Although evidence points to a key role in high-frequency firing, a definitive understanding of the function of these channels has been hampered by a lack of selective pharmacological tools. We therefore generated mouse lines in which one …

A Two-Chain Path Integral Model Of Positronium, L. Larrimore, R. N. Mcfarland, P. A. Sterne, Amy Lisa Graves Dec 2000

A Two-Chain Path Integral Model Of Positronium, L. Larrimore, R. N. Mcfarland, P. A. Sterne, Amy Lisa Graves

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Works

We have used a path integral Monte Carlo technique to simulate positronium (Ps) in a cavity. The primitive propagator is used, with a pair of interacting chains representing the positron and electron. We calculate the energy and radial distribution function for Ps enclosed in a hard, spherical cavity, and the polarizability of the model Ps in the presence of an electrostatic field. We find that the positron distribution near the hard wall differs significantly from that for a single particle in a hard cavity. This leads to systematic deviations from predictions of free-volume models which treat Ps as an effective, …
