Benthic Macroinvertebrate Habitat Associations Of The Channelized Middle Missouri River, James B. Barnum, Roger W. Bachmann
Benthic Macroinvertebrate Habitat Associations Of The Channelized Middle Missouri River, James B. Barnum, Roger W. Bachmann
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
Benthic macroinvertebrates associated with navigation structures (dikes, dike pools, revetted banks) and abandoned channels on the Missouri River at the Iowa-Nebraska border were sampled in June, August, and October 1983 to determine the invertebrate community structure of these habitats. Invertebrate densities were greatest in the abandoned channel habitat (to over 13,000/m2), while diversities were greatest in the dike and revetment habitats. Greater habitat diversity contributed to greater organism diversity in the dike and revetment habitats while sediment homogeneity and stability presumably contributed to greater organism densities in the abandoned channel habitat. Dike pools had turbulent eddy currents, which …

Some Genetic Characteristics Of Three Walleye Stocks In Iowa And The Impact Of Fry Stockings In The Cedar River, Vaughn L. Paragamian
Some Genetic Characteristics Of Three Walleye Stocks In Iowa And The Impact Of Fry Stockings In The Cedar River, Vaughn L. Paragamian
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
Fry stockings of walleye Stizostedion v. vitreum into the Cedar River, Iowa began in the early 1950's, and two studies of the success of these plants gave conflicting results. The objectives of my study were to identify some genetic characteristics in three stocks of walleye and to utilize these characteristics to assess the genetic impact of fry stockings in the Cedar River. Electrophoretic analysis of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) was completed for walleye stocks from the Mississippi and Cedar Rivers, and Big Spirit Lake, Iowa. Phenotypic frequencies of Mdh - B2 and Mdh - B3 …

Recompact Iowa Soil Materials Before Using As Liners For Waste Containment, G. J. Kluitenberg, R. Horton, M. L. Thompson, J. F. Mcbride
Recompact Iowa Soil Materials Before Using As Liners For Waste Containment, G. J. Kluitenberg, R. Horton, M. L. Thompson, J. F. Mcbride
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
Soil materials are often used in hazardous-waste disposal facilities to provide a physical barrier to leachate movement. Both existing soils and recompacted soil materials have been used in barrier construction. Solute transport experiments and measurements of saturated hydraulic conductivity were used to characterize the solute transport properties of three Iowa soil materials. Experiments were carried out by using undisturbed soil samples as well as recompacted samples. The experimental results show that recompaction greatly altered the solute transport properties of the three soil materials. It is concluded that recompaction is necessary for any of these materials to satisfy Environmental Protection Agency …

The Measurement Of Sex Role Identification: An Examination Of The Internal Consistency Of The Bem Sex Role Inventory And Its Relevance To Sex Role Therapy, Roger J. Eich
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
This study's primary focus is an empirical analysis of the Bem Sex-role Inventory (BSRI). This sex-role inventory has been heralded by many in the social sciences and has received wide acceptance. It has not, however, been without its critics. Specifically, Bem's scale has been criticized for failing to adequately protect against response tendency, for the inclusion of some of the masculine, feminine, and social desirability traits, and for claiming to measure the specific, orthogonal dimensions of masculinity and femininity. Other methodological shortcomings have been noted by various researchers, but the three listed above appear to be the most prominent. Background …
Factors Associated With The Relationship Between Juvenile Delinquency And Adult Criminality: A Sample Of State Training School Residents In Iowa, Kristin Renae Baughman
Factors Associated With The Relationship Between Juvenile Delinquency And Adult Criminality: A Sample Of State Training School Residents In Iowa, Kristin Renae Baughman
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
It is unclear what the relationship is between juvenile delinquency and adult criminality. Many people assume that an individual who commits several crimes as a juvenile will also commit crimes as an adult, yet most juvenile offenders do not become adult offenders. It is also unclear what role institutionalization of juvenile delinquents plays in arresting or intensifying criminal careers. Some reappear in the adult correctional system while others become lawful citizens. The current study looks at one set of the most serious juvenile delinquents, those placed in a state training school in Iowa. In order to determine the relationship between …

We Will Survive: An Ethnography Of The Grateful Dead Following, Ray Eldridge
We Will Survive: An Ethnography Of The Grateful Dead Following, Ray Eldridge
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
Experiencing continual re-creation during each of the twenty-one years preceding 1986, this study's core may continue to unfold indefinitely. Although discovered to encapsulate elements grounded elsewhere, this culture centers upon an experimental musical group known as the Grateful Dead. First encountering the Grateful Dead in the summer of 1981, their ageless repertoire failed to capture me, but an unusual audience filled my senses. Flowing print skirts and other bright but tired attire suggested San Francisco of a time then fifteen years past. Subdued excitement replaced the alcohol inhibition of many rock shows. As the band finally appeared, a peacefully elated …
Status, Self, And Peers: An Ethnography Of Junior High School, Susan Martha Nesheim Allbee
Status, Self, And Peers: An Ethnography Of Junior High School, Susan Martha Nesheim Allbee
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
This report begins with a brief discussion of the overall purpose of social science: to be of service to humankind. To examine and report one's findings is no longer the whole of the responsibility of social scientific research. One must also examine the purpose and objectives of that research. In view of those statements, the objective of this project--the gathering and analysis of information on the culture of junior high school students-- is to gain a better understanding of early adolescence and thereby offer opportunities for insights not only into their culture but to add to the body of knowledge …
The Angler’S Angle: An Ethnography Of The Bass Fishermen, Ellen Ray Millhollin Irish
The Angler’S Angle: An Ethnography Of The Bass Fishermen, Ellen Ray Millhollin Irish
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
The Angler's Angle is an ethnographic (cultural description) of the bass fishermen . The purpose of this thesis is two-fold: (1) to present a better understanding of the ethnographic process and its usefulness as a too l within the social sciences, and (2) to illustrate this usefulness by the study of a cultural scene that often goes unnoticed in our Western society. An examination in Chapter 1 on the background of cultural studies (undertaken for the most part to de scribe non-Western societies), sets the tone for the use of ethnography today. Research on sub-cultures within our own society is …
The Experience Of Migration And Selected Perceptions Of Older Residents Of The Waterloo Black Community, Jacqueline Elizabeth Ellis
The Experience Of Migration And Selected Perceptions Of Older Residents Of The Waterloo Black Community, Jacqueline Elizabeth Ellis
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
This thesis deals with the experience of migration during the formative years of the Black community of Waterloo, Iowa and perceptions of the quality of life from 1910-1970. This exploratory study is based on survey data and folk/oral history derived fr001 a selected sample of men and women, age 50-90 years, of the Black community of Waterloo. The early history of American Blacks has been grossly neglected by historians and others and, as a result, sources of documented information are limited. Because of this, it is important that existing information be preserved. It is this author's hope that survey data …
A Test Of Max Weber’S Theory Of Charismatic Leadership In A Third World Case: Cuba’S Fidel Castro, Leida Javier-Vivoni
A Test Of Max Weber’S Theory Of Charismatic Leadership In A Third World Case: Cuba’S Fidel Castro, Leida Javier-Vivoni
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
In this thesis a limited test of Max Weber's theory of charisma was conducted by applying it to the case of a Third World leader, that of Fidel Castro. This was achieved by reviewing and analyzing Weber's original formulation, the various interpretations of it that followed, and the different ways Weber's theory has been reconstructed for the purpose of guiding research on charisma. Ralph Hummel's (1972) and Richard Fagen's (1965) separate sets of propositions, based on reconstructions of different parts of Weber's theory, were chosen to guide the research on Castro's case. The interpretive data generated by this process constituted …
Institutionalization: Trauma And Deliverance, Clemens Bartollas
Institutionalization: Trauma And Deliverance, Clemens Bartollas
Faculty Work
The question of how one person can most effectively touch the life of another in a positive way is a significant one, especially for those whose mission is to increase the Kingdom of God. Drawing on extensive experience with juvenile delinquents and on his own scholarly research, Clemens Bartollas addresses himself to precisely this problem. In a sociological perspective, he raises a number of fascinating questions about interpersonal relations, and suggests a model for Christian action.
Causality Theories On The Child Abuser: An Exploratory Study Of Professionals Who Work With The Abused Child, Jennifer Ann Gordon
Causality Theories On The Child Abuser: An Exploratory Study Of Professionals Who Work With The Abused Child, Jennifer Ann Gordon
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
The purpose of the study was to determine which, out of four, child abuse causality theories select professionals in the state subscribe to. These theories are Role Reversal, Lack of Mothering, Successive Generation, and Psychological Dysfunctioning. Each theory is defined in such a manner as to highlight particular, selective characteristics expressed by the author. A second purpose was to establish a foundation for further study. The information gathered and the results obtained are for this end, also. The four causality theories of child abuse were postulated for explanatory purposes. The causality theory that emphasizes psychological dysfunctioning runs a continuum from …
