Stimuli signaling threat are often processed especially rapidly (e.g., Fox, Russo, & Dutton, 2002).
Similarly, some studies have suggested that expressions of fear have a strong pull on our attention
because they signal threat (e.g., Phelps, Ling, & Carrasco, 2006; Shaw, Lien, Ruthruff, & Allen, in press;
Vuilleumier & Schwartz,...
It has been claimed that stimuli signaling threat are processed rapidly and
draw our attention (e.g., Fox, Russo, & Dutton, 2002). Similarly, it has been
argued that expressions of fear have a strong pull on our attention because

Climate change is a global factor that has been implicated in many behavioral alterations across various species. We speculate and observe the potential responses to the Plethodon shermani mating system induced from temperature changes, which may affect the ability of P. shermani to rely on external cues for mating season....
The current study sought to clarify the associations stressful life events have with symptoms of depression among college students. Consistent with work by Schultheiss and Blustein (1994), both family-related stressors and other stressors may be related to the well-being of students in a college environment, and family-related stressors may be...
The purpose of this presentation is to show the source, methods, and results of creating a computerized display of the metabolic pathways of model plants Oryza sativa (rice) and Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) using the computer program PathVisio2. The finished products may be viewed and modified for free on www.wikipathways.org...
Strong self-regulation in early childhood is a key predictor of academic and social success from elementary school through college (McClelland et al., 2012). This study analyzed the influence of the age of the child’s parent on the child’s self-regulation as measured by the HTKS (Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders) measure. Relations between children’s self-regulation...
Autism and Alexithymia are two disorders characterized by deficiencies in interpersonal and emotional processing. For example, both of these disorders are associated with deficits in the ability to identify and judge the emotions of others. For diagnosis, patients are typically assessed for such deficiencies using published tests of emotion perception...
This project deals with a method to optimize in vivo labeling using small fluorescent molecules via bioorthogonal reactions. The reaction used involves our unnatural amino acid 4-(6-methyl-s-tetrazin-3-yl)aminophenylalanine (AMT-Phe). The amino acid is site-specifically incorporated into GFP and then reacted with a labeled, strained trans-cyclooctene, resulting in a labeled protein. However...
While metaphysical turmoil is the essential human problem in T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land,” “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and “Preludes,” traditional criticism of the poems relegates the physical world to a merely rhetorical role. This thesis argues that Eliot’s use of objects in his poetry suggests they...
