Does Vanity Describe Other Cultures?: A Cross Cultural Examination Of The Vanity Scale, Srinivas Durvasula, Steven Lysonski, John Watson

Marketing Faculty Research and Publications

Vanity is a psychological construct that describes a person's excessive concern with physical appearance or achievement. A scale, recently developed to measure this construct, has been psychometrically validated using data from U.S. respondents. The goal of this paper is to determine if this scale can be used cross-culturally. If the scale has cross-cultural applicability, it can be used as a counseling device to guide and alert individuals to certain tendencies. The scale also can be used to track foreign cultures as they adopt a consumerism ethos more aligned to Western consumer culture. Based on data from 475 young adults in …

The Nexus Between Intellectual Property Piracy, International Law, The Internet, And Cultural Values, David J. Stephenson Jr.

St. Thomas Law Review

In a way similar to the dramatic transformation of mass into energy at the speed of light, intellectual property piracy disputes have compellingly special characteristics when multicultural values clash over the Internet. The sudden explosion of Internet use outside of Western Europe and North America, especially in Asia, is most apparent in Singapore, which has the highest per capita use of the Internet anywhere in the world. This rapid global expansion of Internet use has been accompanied by related claims of intellectual property piracy that frequently resemble disputes that have recently arisen in United States and European courts. For example, …

The Evolving Right Of Self-Determination Of Indigenous Peoples, Paul J. Magnarella

St. Thomas Law Review

The destruction of indigenous societies represents a major threat to the contemporary world's rich inventory of cultures. Throughout the centuries, indigenous peoples have been forcibly removed from their lands, dispossessed of their natural resources, discriminated against or simply decimated.! Most of the world's estimated 300 million indigenous peoples are less well off than are members of the dominant societies. Many live in extreme poverty. Indigenous peoples wish to maintain their own unique cultures and ethnic identities and to control their traditional lands of occupation or at least some portions of them. Indigenous peoples need protected enclaves if they are to …

Graduate Record 2001: Centennial Edition, Southwestern Oklahoma State University

SWOSU Yearbooks

It was called Southwestern Normal School. Its yearbook was The Oracle. The year was 1901. Oklahoma wasn't even a state when Weatherford started up the small teacher's school. There was no campus. Instead, the town borrowed office space from a beer company. Finally, a building was set up on a hill north of town. In a grand ceremony one morning, the students, faculty and staff marched from downtown Weatherford to their new home.

On a chilly, rainy March 8, 2001, Southwestern re-created the scene, ending with a campus-wide picture. The event was a 100 years in the making, just as …

A Role For Actin, Cdc1p, And Myo2p In The Inheritance Of Late Golgi Elements In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Olivia W. Rossanese, Catherine A. Reinke, Brooke J. Bevis, Adam T. Hammond, Irina B. Sears, James O'Connor, Benjamin S. Glick

Faculty Publications

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Golgi elements are present in the bud very early in the cell cycle. We have analyzed this Golgi inheritance process using fluorescence microscopy and genetics. In rapidly growing cells, late Golgi elements show an actin-dependent concentration at sites of polarized growth. Late Golgi elements are apparently transported into the bud along actin cables and are also retained in the bud by a mechanism that may involve actin. A visual screen for mutants defective in the inheritance of late Golgi elements yielded multiple alleles of CDC1. Mutations in CDC1 severely depolarize the actin cytoskeleton, and these …

Il-1Α And Tnf-Α Down-Regulate Crh Receptor-2 Mrna Expression In The Mouse Heart, Sarah C. Coste, Kurt A. Heldwein, Susan L. Stevens, Eric Tobar-Dupres, Mary P. Stenzel-Poore

Faculty Publications

Two receptors (CRH receptor type 1 and CRH receptor type 2) have been identified for the stress-induced neuropeptide, CRH and related peptides, urocortin, and urocortin II. We previously found marked down-regulation of cardiac CRH receptor type 2 expression following administration of bacterial endotoxin, lipopolysaccharide, a model of systemic immune activation, and inflammation. We postulated that inflammatory cytokines may regulate CRH receptor type 2. We show that systemic IL-1α administration significantly down-regulates CRH receptor type 2 mRNA in mouse heart. In addition, TNFα treatment also reduces CRH receptor type 2 mRNA expression, although the effect was not as marked as with …

A Comparison Of Perceptions Of Team Management Practices In Public School And Private Sector Environments, Therese Ann Howe

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare management practices as they relate to team management in both private sector companies and public school corporations. Areas measured related to the team's use of task values, task skills, maintenance values and maintenance skills. An initial letter was sent to 250 companies registered with the Indiana Chamber of Commerce. These companies had employee populations between 100 and 250. A similar letter was sent to school corporation superintendents who student populations numbered 1000–2000. Included in this letter was a post card to return with two questions to check off pertaining as …

"When Campus Meets Community"

Proof-Of-Concept: Three Dimensional Pipe Surface Reconstruction From 2d Laser Scanned Image, Matthew Altman

Theses

A simulation of three-dimensional models of pipe defect detection systems has been performed. The primary goal is to inspect internal pipe structures for corrosion damage, structural damage, and buildup by driving a video-capture pipe inspection system through the pipe, processing the video, and creating a computer model of the pipe. The software system extracts frames from .avi-format movie files, renders up to thirty frames into a data cube and provides several different methods of visualization. Using commercial-off-the-shelf- technology and components, a simple model for the robotics and optics necessary to scan the interior structure was created. Illumination techniques, extraction algorithms, …

Development Of Hot/Cold Plate Apparatus For Determining Heat Transport Mechanisms In Mulch Materials, Simon Van Donk, Ernest W. Tollner, Stephen P. Mcdonald

West Central Research and Extension Center, North Platte

To study the effects of mulches and crop residues on soil temperature, researchers have frequently used simulation models. In such models, quantification of heat transport within the mulch material is often weak and heat transport mechanisms are poorly understood. In this paper we describe an apparatus to quantify heat transport through dry mulch materials. In addition, heat transport mechanisms (conduction, thermal radiation, free and forced convection) can be identified and quantified using this apparatus. The apparatus consists of precisely controlled and monitored 0.9 m by 0.9 m hot and cold plates. The hot plate actually consists of three component plates: …
