Water-Conserving Landscapes: An Evaluation Of Homeowner Preference, Tony A. Mccammon, Sandra T. Marquart-Pyatt, Kelly L. Kopp
Water-Conserving Landscapes: An Evaluation Of Homeowner Preference, Tony A. Mccammon, Sandra T. Marquart-Pyatt, Kelly L. Kopp
CWEL Publications
Landscape preferences were assessed for three identically designed Xeriscapes™, differing only in the plant material, under both well-watered and drought conditions. The classes of plant material included traditional (high water use), intermediate (moderate water use), and native/adapted plant species of the Intermountain West (low water use). Landscapes were subjected to a 5-week dry-down period. Under drought conditions, respondents preferred drought/adapted and intermediate landscapes to traditional landscapes. A focus on Xeriscape™ education, practices, and visual exposure may result in greater adoption of Xeriscape™ practices by homeowners and may also result in significant residential water savings.

Spirituality Within The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment Process, Laura L. Ellingson
Spirituality Within The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment Process, Laura L. Ellingson
Communication
In this chapter, Ellingson argues that the comprehensive geriatric assessment ( CGA) , which is used in the development of treatment plans for elderly individuals in poor health, has failed to acknowledge the import of some aspects of the elderly patient's life experiences. Ellingson uses case study analysis to demonstrate the significance of spiritual and religious beliefs and practices and suggests that the CGA model should be expanded to include explicit coverage of spirituality and religious issues.

The Relationship Between Femininity Ideology And Overt And Relational Aggression And Peer Victimization Among Girls, Anne Powell
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study examined the relationship between gender socialization, assessed by the gender ideologies of inauthenticity in relationships and body objectification (Tolman & Porche, 2000), and overt and relational aggression and peer victimization among 212 girls in five Denver, Colorado public middle schools. A feminist developmental perspective was used to 1) examine whether internalized norms of femininity were related to overt and relational aggression and peer victimization; 2) evaluate whether girls used certain types of aggressive behavior to adhere to, or reject, norms of femininity; and 3) assess whether girls who were victimized were more likely than other girls to internalize …
Altering The Motivational Function Of Nicotine Through Conditioning Processes, Rick A. Bevins
Altering The Motivational Function Of Nicotine Through Conditioning Processes, Rick A. Bevins
Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications
The collection of chapters in this 55th Nebraska Symposium on Motivation Volume clearly highlights that effective strategies for reducing compulsive tobacco use will require a multifaceted approach in which genetic, neurobiological, individual, and cultural factors are considered. It is difficult, if not impossible, to predict where the next important breakthrough will come from (Bevins & Bardo, 2004; Dethier, 1966; Laidler, 1998). Accordingly, further research that extends and challenges current theory and practice at each of these levels of analysis is needed. The continuing focus of our research program, and the topic of the present chapter, is on the role of …

The Fbi’S Response To Civil Right Crimes During Mississippi Freedom Summer, Michelle Lee Reynolds
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
During the Civil Rights Movement, Mississippi was very resistant to activities that challenged the “Southern way of life” and did nearly everything they could to prevent civil rights workers from conducting work there. During the summer of1964 the murders of three of James Chaney, a black volunteer, and Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, white volunteers, would shock the nation and prompt an investigation by the FBI. One month prior to their disappearances, two black teenagers, Charles Moore and Henry Dee, went missing in a manner similar to the three civil rights workers. Despite the similarities in the two cases, the …
