Locomotor And Habitat Classifications Of Cercopithecoid Postcranial Material From Sterkfontein Member 4, Bolt's Farm And Swartkrans Members 1 And 2, South Africa, Sarah Elton Jan 2001

Locomotor And Habitat Classifications Of Cercopithecoid Postcranial Material From Sterkfontein Member 4, Bolt's Farm And Swartkrans Members 1 And 2, South Africa, Sarah Elton

KIP Articles

Much southern African cercopithecoid postcranial material is not associated with craniodental remains. Consequently, this postcranial material cannot be confidently assigned to a particular taxon, with the result that little is known about the locomotor strategies and habitat preferences of specific Plio-Pleistocene cercopithecoids from southern Africa. However, cercopithecoid postcrania can provide important information about habitats that were present at fossil sites, even when the material is not attributed to taxa. In this paper, ecomorphic analysis is used to assign cercopithecoid postcranial material from Sterkfontein Member 4, Bolt' s Farm and Swartkrans Members 1 and 2 to one of three habitat/locomotor categories: …

Non-Uniform Free-Free Absorption In The Gps Radio Galaxy 0108+388, Jonathan M. Marr, G. B. Taylor, Fronefield Crawford Jan 2001

Non-Uniform Free-Free Absorption In The Gps Radio Galaxy 0108+388, Jonathan M. Marr, G. B. Taylor, Fronefield Crawford

Physics Faculty Scholarship

We have observed the canonical gigahertz-peaked spectrum source 0108+388 with the Very Long Baseline Array at a range of frequencies above and below the spectral peak. The activity that dominates the radio emission from 0108+388, which is also classified as a compact symmetric object, is thought to be less than 1000 years old. We present strong evidence that the spectral turnover in 0108+388 results from free-free absorption by nonuniform gas, possibly in the form of a disk in the central tens of parsecs.

School Psychologists' Knowledge Of Family Violence And Their Identification Of Children From Violent Homes, Anne Maile Lamoureux

Open Access Dissertations

This study assessed school psychologists' knowledge of family violence. Three major questions were addressed: (1) Does a school psychologists' educational, specialized training and perceived experience level affect their knowledge about family violence symptomology, risk factors and facts? (2) Does a school psychologists' educational, specialized training and perceived experience level affect their assessment of a child's risk level and choice of an intervention? (3) Do the age, gender, and behaviors of a child influence participants' assessment of the child's risk level and their choice of an intervention? A random, national sample of school psychologists was mailed the instrument. Information was collected …

A Study Of The Antarctic Circumpolar Current In Streamfunction Space, Che Sun Jan 2001

A Study Of The Antarctic Circumpolar Current In Streamfunction Space, Che Sun

Open Access Dissertations

Historical hydrographic data from the Southern Ocean are projected into a baroclinic stream function space, generating a three-dimensional gravest empirical mode (GEM) that explains more than 97% of the total density and temperature variance in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) region. An analysis of the ACC fronts and frontal water masses in this streamfunction space shows that both the Subantarctic Mode Water and the Antarctic Intermediate Water are formed by along-isopycnal subduction of polar surface water in the southeast Pacific. The method is then used to calculate the heat flux by the ACC mean flow, showing the primary heat sources …

The Potential Clinical Utility Of Methods For Estimating Prior Standing In Specific Cognitive Domains: A Feasibility And Illustration Study, Stephen Correia Jan 2001

The Potential Clinical Utility Of Methods For Estimating Prior Standing In Specific Cognitive Domains: A Feasibility And Illustration Study, Stephen Correia

Open Access Dissertations

This study evaluated the viability of a potential strategy for improving the detection of cognitive decline over currently available IQ-based methods. The proposed strategy makes use of differential cognitive effects across different neurocognitive disorders. It involves examining estimated/obtained difference scores (D-scores) for the specific cognitive domain(s) (SCDs) most affected by a disorder. The current study undertook a broad feasibility test of the strategy as a preliminary step in the development of specific cognitive domain estimation methods (SCDEMs). Clinical and control group score distributions were reconstructed from IQ and SCD test (SCDT) means and standard deviations reported in previously published studies …

Sedimentary Cyclicity In Crp Drillcore, Victoria Land Basin, Antarctica, T. R. Naish, P. J. Barrett, G. B. Dunbar, K. J. Woolfe, A. G. Dunn, S. A. Henrys, M. Claps, R. D. Powell, Christopher R. Fielding

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

The upper 1200 m of pre-Pliocene sediment recovered by Cape Roberts Project (CRP) drilling off the Victoria Land coast of Antarctica between 1997-1999 has been subdivided into 54 unconformity-bound stratigraphic sequences, spanning the period c. 32 to 17 Ma. The sequences are recognised on the basis of the cyclical vertical stacking of their constituent lithofacies, which are enclosed by erosion surfaces produced during the grounding of the advancing ice margin onto the sea floor. Each sequence represents deposition in a range of offshore shelf to coastal glacimarine sedimentary environments during oscillations in the ice margin across the Western Ross Sea …

Building Blocks For Reliable Complex Nonlinear Numerical Simulations, Helen Yee Jan 2001

Building Blocks For Reliable Complex Nonlinear Numerical Simulations, Helen Yee

United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Publications

This chapter describes some of the building blocks to ensure a higher level of confidence in the predictability and reliability (PAR) of numerical simulation of multiscale complex nonlinear problems. The focus is on relating PAR of numerical simulations with complex nonlinear phenomena of numerics. To isolate sources of numerical uncertainties, the possible discrepancy between the chosen partial differential equation (PDE) model and the real physics and/or experimental data is set aside. The discussion is restricted to how well numerical schemes can mimic the solution behavior of the underlying PDE model for finite time steps and grid spacings. The situation is …

Choice And Boundary Problems In Logerquist, Hummert, And Kumho Tire, David H. Kaye Jan 2001

Choice And Boundary Problems In Logerquist, Hummert, And Kumho Tire, David H. Kaye

Faculty Scholarship

This article, part of a symposium on the opinion of the Arizona Supreme Court in Logerquist v. McVey, questions that court’s rationales for refusing to apply heightened scrutiny to psychiatric testimony about the retrieval of repressed memories. It also challenges the court’s use of a “personal observations” exception to the heightened scrutiny standard of Frye v. United States. It proposes that a better solution to problems of scientific and expert evidence would be to adopt a sliding scale that attends to the use to which the evidence is put and the degree to which it has been shown to be …

Subtracting Race From The "Reasonable Calculus": An End To Racial Profiling? United States V. Montero-Camargo 208 F.3d 1122 (9th Cir. 2000) Cert. Denied Sub Nom, Elisabeth R. Calcaterra, Natalie G. Mitchell Jan 2001

Subtracting Race From The "Reasonable Calculus": An End To Racial Profiling? United States V. Montero-Camargo 208 F.3d 1122 (9th Cir. 2000) Cert. Denied Sub Nom, Elisabeth R. Calcaterra, Natalie G. Mitchell

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

This Case Note presents the facts of Montero-Camargo, describes the decision of the Ninth Circuit Court in historical context, and analyzes the effect of the Court's holding. The Case Note argues that while the Ninth Circuit's decision to prohibit the use of race as a factor in determining the reasonableness calculus in traffic stops is progressive in spirit, implementing the decision will be difficult. Thus far, mechanisms designed to limit officers' use of race in traffic stops have been ineffective and have left victims with little recourse, resulting in a disproportionate number of innocent African American and Latino drivers …
