Assessing Self-Injurious Behaviors On A College Campus, Chelsea R. Dean

Senior Honors Theses and Projects

The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence, as well as perceived positive and negative consequences, of a wide range of risky and self-injurious behaviors (SIB). Participants were 215 undergraduate students (56.3% female), who were administered the Self-Injurious Behavior Risk Assessment (SIBRA), which was designed for this study; and the Eysenck Impulsiveness Scale (EIS; Eysenck, 1985). To compare behaviors viewed as having benefits which outweigh risks, a reward/risk ratio was rank ordered. Correlations were computed between item-total frequency, perceived consequences, the reward/risk ratio, and the EIS. Results found a variety of behaviors being endorsed by students, as well …

Phylogenetic Analysis Of Nadp-Malic Enzyme And Its Expression In Arabidopsis Thaliana Guard Cells, Erin Horning

Senior Honors Theses and Projects

Decreased crop yield as a result of insufficient freshwater supply is a distressing problem in world agriculture today. Plants lose water via transpiration through pores located in the epidermis on the underside of the leaf referred to as stomata. The aperture of such a pore is regulated by two adjacent guard cells that swell and subside as water follows ions that are pumped into and from the cell in response to changing environmental conditions. Our hypothesis that one of the six NADP-malic enzyme isoforms in Arabidopsis thaliana is guard-cell specific and plays a role in the mechanism of closing the …

Evolutionary Dynamics Of The Short-Nosed Fruit Bat, Cynopterus Sphinx (Pteropodidae): Inferences From The Spatial Scale Of Genetic And Phenotypic Differentiation, Jay F. Storz, Hari R. Bhat, Johnson Balasingh, P. Thiruchenthil Nathan, Thomas H. Kunz

Jay F. Storz Publications

We report the results of a population-genetic study of the short-nosed fruit bat, Cynopterus sphinx (Pteropodidae). The purpose of our study was to assess the relative importance of drift, gene flow, and spatially varying selection in shaping patterns of genetic and phenotypic variation across a latitudinal climatic gradient in peninsular India. At a microgeographic scale, polygynous mating resulted in a substantial reduction of effective population size. However, at a macrogeographic scale, rates of migration were sufficiently high to prevent a pronounced degree of stochastic differentiation via drift. Spatial analysis of genetic and phenotypic differentiation revealed that clinal variation in body …

Ec06-155 Nutrient Management For Agronomic Crops In Nebraska, Richard B. Ferguson

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Nebraska is blessed with fertile soil and vast supplies of groundwater which combine to create an environment well-suited to the production of corn, wheat, grain sorghum, alfalfa, edible beans, and other agronomic crops used for human or animal consumption.

This manual is a guide to nutrient use from all sources for the production of Nebraska's major agronomic crops: corn, winter wheat, grain sorghum, oats, alfalfa, dry edible beans, soybean, sugar beets, popcorn, sunflower, millet, potatoes, and cool and warm season grasses for hay and pasture. Part I of the manual contains information focusing on basic principles of soil fertility for …

Mule Deer, Western Association Of Fish And Wildlife Agencies Mule Deer Working Grop

Other Publications in Wildlife Management

Since 1922, the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA) has served as a leader promoting management and protection of fish and wildlife in the western United States and Canada. An organization represented by 17 states and four Canadian provinces, WAFWA has faced the difficult challenge of sifting through the ever-changing societal, economic, political and scientific issues that define natural resource management in a West that has undergone many changes.

WAFWA is particularly concerned about mule deer, a species that lives in every North American habitat except for the tropics, arctic and extreme deserts. Mule deer numbers and distribution …

Active Learning To Maximize Area Under The Roc Curve, Matt Culver, Deng Kun, Stephen Scott

School of Computing: Conference and Workshop Papers

In active learning, a machine learning algorithmis given an unlabeled set of examples U, and is allowed to request labels for a relatively small subset of U to use for training. The goal is then to judiciously choose which examples in U to have labeled in order to optimize some performance criterion, e.g. classification accuracy. We study how active learning affects AUC. We examine two existing algorithms from the literature and present our own active learning algorithms designed to maximize the AUC of the hypothesis. One of our algorithms was consistently the top performer, and Closest Sampling from the literature …
