Creator:: Watson, Annaliese
Abstract:: Haiti's political and economy history has led to a maternity care system that lies out of reach, geographically and financially, of most Haitians, resulting in excessively high maternal and infant mortality. The most common birth practitioners are homebirth midwives (matwòns), who attend roughly three-fourths of all births in Haiti (UNICEF),...

Abandoning the girl show ghetto : introducing and incorporating care ethics to girls' animation

Creator:: Hughes, Adam C.
Abstract:: In regards to animation created and aimed at them, girls are largely underserved and underrepresented. This underrepresentation leads to decreased socio-cultural capital in adulthood and a feeling of sacrificed childhood. Although there is a common consensus in entertainment toward girls as a potentially deficient audience, philosophy and applied ethics open...

Endocrine regulation of male sexual behavior in rough-skinned newts, Taricha granulosa : role of neurohormones

Creator:: Zoeller, Robert T.
Abstract:: To determine whether a homologous neurohormone, arginine vasotocin (AVT), can elevate the occurrence of clasping behavior in male rough-skinned newts (Taricha granulosa), intact, sexually inactive males were injected with either AVT or saline. The incidence of courtship was elevated in the group of males injected with AVT, but not in...

Reproductive cycle of the male newt Taricha granulosa : exogenous and endogenous regulation of plasma androgens

Creator:: Specker, Jennifer Lee
Abstract:: During a 13-month period starting in October of 1976, adult male rough-skinned newts (Taricha granulosa) were collected periodically to study seasonal changes in reproductive status. Plasma androgen concentration, measured by radioimmunoassay, is elevated during autumn and spring (about 50 ng/ml). Winter and summer levels are considerably lower (less than 10...

Boundary value problems and bifurcation theory for ordinary differential equations

Creator:: Malloy, David
Abstract:: Two numerical methods are presented that can be used to solve second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations with periodic boundary conditions. One of these methods is a shooting method developed solely for the periodic problem. The other, "quasilinearization," is a method applicable to a wide variety of problems. It is...

An investigation into the ecology and distribution of Kalmiopsis leachiana (Hend.) Rehder

Creator:: Marquis, Robert John
Abstract:: Ecological factors associated with the relictual distribution of the endemic shrub Kalmiopsis leachiana (Ericaceae) were investigated. A prostrate evergreen species with small coriaceous leaves, K. leachiana is restricted to two disjunct populations in the Siskiyou Mountains and southern Cascade Mountains of southwestern Oregon, USA. Exact distributions of individual populations were...
