  • A comparative study of two methods for measuring attenuation values of personal hearing protection devices

    Creator:
    Martin, Larry G.
    Abstract:
    Noise induced hearing loss is a subject of growing concern. Over the past 15 years, several well-documented studies have been completed which express the relationships between industrial noise exposure and damage to normal and pathological ears. This research has provided knowledge of considerable importance to developing successful hearing conservation programs....

  • Archival Anthropometry: An Analysis of the Anthropometric Data of Native American Children Gathered by Franz Boas, 1888-1902

    Creator:
    Kirkpatrick, Kristin A.
    Abstract:
    Franz Boas collected anthropometric data on approximately 15,000 people from over 200 Native American tribal groups between 1888 and 1902. Twelve basic measurements were taken: standing height, shoulder height, height to digit III, arm span, sitting height, shoulder width, head length and width, face height and breadth, and nose height...

  • The effects of rise-time and frequency on the auditory brainstem response using high-frequency tone-bursts

    Creator:
    Gray, Pamela S.
    Abstract:
    The effects of rise-time and frequency on the auditory brainstem response were studied in six normal hearing adults. Stimuli were high-frequency gated tone-bursts with center frequencies of 8, 10, 12, and 14 kilohertz (kHz). Examined rise-times were .1, .25, .5, and 1.0 milliseconds (msec). Duration was maintained at 2 msec....

  • Central and Peripheral Nervous System Underpinnings of Moral Elevation

    Creator:
    Piper, Walter T.
    Abstract:
    The present study characterized physiological responsivity during moral elevation, or elevation, a prosocial emotional state triggered by witnessing displays of altruism and moral beauty. Participants watched video stimuli that induced elevation, or amusement as a control condition, while heart rate (HR), respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), skin conductance responses (SCR), and...

  • Measurement and meaning of archaeological diversity

    Creator:
    Betz, Virginia Marie
    Abstract:
    Archaeologists use diversity as one way of characterizing their assemblages. Diversity refers to both the number of artifact classes present (richness) and the proportional representation of classes (evenness). Numerical diversity indices measure one or both components. Archaeologists use assemblage diversity to infer behavior of prehistoric cultures. Archaeological inferences about behavior...

  • Loving-Kindness Meditation and Prosocial Construct Activation

    Creator:
    Falkenstein, Angelica R.
    Abstract:
    Both Buddhist and psychological theory postulate that present actions will influence future perceptions, judgments, and behaviors in a concordant manner. While Buddhists explain these effects in the context of karmic theory, psychologists consider these effects of construct activation and chronic construct accessibility. The present study sought to apply social psychological...

    Creator:
    Lacy, Amber D.
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Climate Changers: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of Reducing Personal Carbon Emissions

    Creator:
    Johnson, Carly A.
    Abstract:
    In an era of human-induced climate change, there is increasing interest in encouraging people to reduce their carbon dioxide (carbon) emissions by adopting low-carbon behaviors, or behaviors that reduce a person’s use of fossil fuels. I designed the Campus Carbon Challenge as a research and outreach project to gain a...
