Inspiration: Examining Its Emotional Correlates And Relationship To Internalized Values, David Jennings Ii

Theses and Dissertations

The study of inspiration as a psychological construct has received little empirical attention to date. In the present dissertation, I review the empirical literature on inspiration and present a theoretical model and definition of inspiration. In two studies, I tested a Value-Congruent Model of Inspiration and my proposed definition. In Study 1 (N = 134), I explored inspiration’s emotional correlates and tested whether individuals experience greater inspiration if the inspirational content is concordant with individual meaning and values. As predicted, state inspiration was positively related to state levels of admiration, awe, and elevation, and value-congruent stimuli significantly predicted self-reported experiences …

Cui-Ui Reproductive Success From Potential Egg Deposition To Larval Emigration, G. Gary Scoppettone, Peter H. Rissler

Western North American Naturalist

From 1985 to 2006, we tracked cui-ui, Chasmistes cujus, survival from potential egg deposition of migrating spawners to emigrating larvae. Tahoe sucker larvae emigrated to Pyramid Lake the same time as cui-ui larvae, but cui-ui was the predominant catostomid larvae we captured. Survival of cui-ui larvae ranged from 0.46% to 21.17%, declining significantly with decreased flow and increased number of spawners (P < 0.01). Mean total length of emigrating larvae ranged from 11.5 to 12.6 mm and may have been affected by stream flow. Removal of impediments to upstream migrating cui-ui spawners, along with sufficient stream flows, may enhance early life-stage survival.

Desde 1985 hasta 2006, rastreamos la supervivencia de peces cui-ui, Chasmistes cujus,de una posible deposición de huevos de hembras migratorias a larvas emigrantes. Las larvas del pez Tahoe sucker emigraron al Lago Pirámide al mismo tiempo que …

Ecology And Population Dynamics Of Sclerocactus Mesae-Verdae (Boissev. & C. Davidson) L.D. Benson, Janet J. Coles, Karin L. Decker, Tamara S. Naumann

Western North American Naturalist

The population dynamics of Sclerocactus mesae-verdae were documented annually in 3 plots over 20 years in southwestern Colorado. Demographic studies of this duration are rare but they are necessary to gain a more accurate estimate of population trends in long-lived desert species. Sclerocactus mesae-verdae was federally listed as threatened in 1979; this study was initiated in 1986 with the objective of determining whether Colorado populations were growing, declining, or stable. Data collected yearly around 1 May included diameter, vigor, and flower/fruit counts for 1629 stems belonging to 659 plants. We used regression analysis to estimate the mean, variance, and average …

Salinity Of The Little Colorado River In Grand Canyon Confers Anti-Parasitic Properties On A Native Fish, David L. Ward

Western North American Naturalist

Water in the Little Colorado River within Grand Canyon is naturally high in salt (NaCl), which is known to prohibit development of external fish parasites such as Ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis). The naturally high salinity (>0.3%) of the Little Colorado River at baseflow may be one factor allowing survival and persistence of larval and juvenile humpback chub (Gila cypha) and other native fishes in Grand Canyon. We compared salinity readings from the Little Colorado River to those reported in the literature as being effective at removing protozoan parasites from fish. In laboratory tests, 10 juvenile roundtail …

Olfactory Detection Of Caches Containing Wildland Versus Cultivated Seeds By Granivorous Rodents, Jennifer L. Hollander, Stephen B. Vander Wall, William S. Longland

Western North American Naturalist

We conducted a study to examine the ability of granivorous rodents to detect caches made with wildland (native and nonnative) and cultivated seeds at 3 locations in western Nevada with different vegetation types and rodent community structures. We established artificial caches containing either 2 or 3 species of wildland seeds or cultivated seeds. Five seed species were tested at each site. Under dry conditions, rodents found caches containing cultivated seeds much more rapidly than caches containing wildland seeds. Wet conditions resulted in a similar order of detectability; however, all species of seeds were located much faster in wet conditions than …

Underwood's Bonneted Bat (Eumops Underwoodi): First Record In The Baja California Peninsula, Patricia Cortés-Calva, Sergio Ticul Álvarez-Castañeda, Julio M. Hernández-Gutirérrez, Marya De La Paz Cuevas

Western North American Naturalist

This paper reports the first record of Eumops underwoodi in the Baja California peninsula. This record expands the species’ distributional range in Mexico along the peninsula. We propose 2 plausible biogeographical explanations. First, the species has the ability to travel across the Gulf of California from the coast of Sonora to the eastern side of the Baja California peninsula and there establish. Second, there is a continuous distribution of the species throughout the mountain ranges that run longitudinally along the Baja California peninsula from the United States border down to the southern tip. We collected one male specimen of E. …

Molecular Evolution And Phylogenetics Of Rodent Malaria Parasites, Ricardo S. Ramiro, Sarah E. Reece, Darren J. Obbard

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

Background: Over the last 6 decades, rodent Plasmodium species have become key model systems for understanding the basic biology of malaria parasites. Cell and molecular parasitology have made much progress in identifying genes underpinning interactions between malaria parasites, hosts, and vectors. However, little attention has been paid to the evolutionary genetics of parasites, which provides context for identifying potential therapeutic targets and for understanding the selective forces shaping parasites in natural populations. Additionally, understanding the relationships between species, subspecies, and strains, is necessary to maximize the utility of rodent malaria parasites as medically important infectious disease models, and for …

“Don’T Blow A Bunch Of Cash On Vegas:” An Event Study Analysis Of President Obama’S Public Statements On Las Vegas, Paul Gift, Michael J. Gift

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

In February of 2009 and 2010, President Obama made what some in the media and gaming industries construed as negative public statements regarding trips to Las Vegas. Some claimed these statements could easily be interpreted as a suggestion that companies and individuals avoid casino areas, thus doing additional harm to their surrounding economies during already tough times. In this paper, we use event study methodology to examine stock market reactions of U.S. casino-related businesses to the president’s statements. We find that President Obama’s statements were followed by significant negative abnormal returns in the segment of companies targeted more towards conventions, …

Autobiography As A Politics Of Metissage: A Pedagogy Of Encounter, Mark Zuss

Education and Culture

My intent here is to indicate the potential life writing strategies represent in assaying specific constellations of contemporary subjectivity. Indications of how experiences are gathered and named through specific socialization in particular discourse communities emerge in productive abundance within life writing practices. The particularities of place, gender, ethnic, racial and national affinities are woven into expressive texts that often afford a sense of the contingency and complexity of what otherwise could be essentialized and reduced to demographic and socioeconomic ascriptions of identity.

Dewey, Eros And Education, Jim Garrison

Education and Culture

We are attracted by our heart's desires. In love we passionately desire to possess the good, or at least what we perceive to be the good. But what we seek soon comes to possess us in thought, feeling, and action. It becomes who we are, the content of our character. In this paper I want to talk about education and Eros. I want to talk about Eros as a creative poetic force that makes new meanings and makes us who we are. I desire to reopen a conversation about what it means to educate for wisdom, that is, to teach …

The Creative Process Of Architecture And Building Information Modeling, Daniel Guralumi

UBT International Conference

Building Information Modeling and architecture, more commonly known as BIM is the subject of many discussions in the architectural communities lately. The architectural design is a complex set of transactions where the knowledge of many disciplines meets the professionalism of people involved, however most of the interaction is done on paper-based communication. Building Information Modeling, the subject of this paper, is a design strategy which aspires to be much more than a mere information exchange tool: it is rather a coordinated and holistic approach aimed to assist designer, engineers, developers, decision makers, contractors and owners. A digital model derived from …

Patty Smith Hill And The Progressive Kindergarten Curriculum, Rose A. Rudnitski

Education and Culture

Throughout the 20th century, there have been conflicting views on what kindergarten should look like and the types of activities that should take place there. The conflict might not exist if it had not been for the efforts of one woman, Miss Patty Smith Hill, of Louisville, Kentucky, a bright, energetic "kindergartner" who changed the American kindergarten curriculum forever, and fused it to the elementary school as the essential initial experience in public education.

Osmoregulatory Physiology Of Pupfish (Cyprinodon Spp.) In Freshwater, Kevin V. Brix

Open Access Dissertations

Active uptake of Na+ at the gill by fish is fundamental to their osmoregulation and thus survival in freshwater environments. Studies to date have demonstrated several different mechanisms by which fish can accomplish this important physiological function. This dissertation provides a comparative characterization of Na+ uptake in the coastal pupfish, Cyprinodon variegatus variegatus (Cvv), the closely related Lake Eustis pupfish, C. v. hubbsi (Cvh), and the endangered desert pupfish, C. macularius (Cm). When acclimated to slightly saline freshwater (7 mM Na+) all three fish use a low affinity Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) for apical Na+ uptake. Cvv also uses a Na+:K+:2Cl- …
