Great Salt Lake (GSL), Utah, is surrounded by 191,884 hectares of wetlands. These wetlands provide critical habitat for hundreds of thousands of breeding, migrating and wintering waterfowl each year. As the human population around GSL increases, government officials have proposed to divert more water from the Jordan, Ogden, and Bear...
A study of nutrient intakes was conducted on the Southwest
Oregon non-reservation Indian population during June and July of
1980. Participating households were selected by random methods from
a Southwest Oregon Indian Health Project listing of Indian
households in the six-county area. Twenty-four-hour dietary recalls
were obtained by interview method...
Otoferlin is a C2-domain, transmembrane protein whose mutated form is responsible for the DFNB9 subtype of prelingual hearing impairment. Mutations in otoferlin cause an autosomal recessive, non-syndromic form of deafness that is characterized by auditory neuropathy/ auditory dissynchrony (AN/AD), meaning that the outer hair cells (OHCs) are normal, and the...
Twenty-five idiopathic developmentally delayed children between
two and ten years old were studied. A group of thirty non-delayed
children of like age and sex was used as a control. Dietary
information was collected for each subject via a 24-hour dietary
recall, a two-day diet record, and a food frequency crosscheck....
The purpose of this dissertation was to estimate the extent to which group-level synchrony predicts specific group outcomes. Synchrony is broadly defined as the coordination of biological and behavioral processes during social contact (Feldman, 2017). In this dissertation, biological coordination is defined as, “the spontaneous synchronization of physiological signals (e.g.,...
The “fat-hunger paradox” is a relatively recent phenomenon in the United States in which people of low socioeconomic status are disproportionately overweight or obese, and yet frequently lack access to adequate food and nutrition. Research indicates additional disparities in the prevalence of overweight and obesity amongst most racial and ethnic...
The purpose of this thesis was to assess the relationship between group rapport and nonverbal expressivity using three data sources: self-report, observer ratings, and test data. Assessing these constructs using multiple data sources enabled the construction of multitrait-multimethod matrices. These matrices allowed for a critical evaluation of the convergent and...
Cell signaling is often mediated by protein-protein interactions, which must be specific, tunable, and transient to allow agile responsiveness to cellular messages. Due to their unique properties, multivalent, intrinsically disordered proteins make ideal candidates to accomplish these vital tasks. A single protein with multiple binding sites may bind numerous partners,...
The prison abolition movement has made some significant headway in fighting the prison industrial complex in the United States over the past several years. However, the primary focus of the movement remains on the existence of prison facilities. There is a crucial need to address the role that local law...
