  • Resurgent Uplift of Samosir Island in Toba Caldera, Indonesia : Insights from Lake Sediment Paleomagnetism and C-14 Age Determination

    Creator:
    Solada, Katharine
    Abstract:
    Around 74 ka, a supervolcano, Toba Caldera in Sumatra, Indonesia erupted, producing the Youngest Toba Tuff and its associated caldera. After this catastrophic eruption, a lake filled the caldera, sedimentation within the lake occurred, and the process known as resurgence began. Today, the resurgent dome, Samosir Island, is uplifted 700...

  • The Impact of Causal Uncertainty on Dyadic Satisfaction

    Creator:
    Needham, Shana M.
    Abstract:
    One's ability to determine the cause and effect nature events is important for navigating within the social realm. However, the ability to determine these relationships is not always as clear. According to Weary and Edwards (1996) causal uncertainty (CU) is the result of an individual perceiving themselves as someone who...

  • Assessment of Extraterrestrial Tracers Ir, Pt and ³He in Polar Ice Cores

    Creator:
    Mehmel, Nicholas C.
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on the investigation of extraterrestrial tracers Ir, Pt and 3He in polar ice cores. These tracers may be used to identify characteristics of interplanetary dust particles, and to quantify the flux of extraterrestrial material during impact events, certain volcanic eruptions, and stable background periods. In the first...

  • 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...

  • A computerized approach to finding the minimum sample size for single sample attribute sampling plans

    Creator:
    Sylvester, Lancelot G.
    Abstract:
    Much has been written concerning the determination of a single sampling plan given two points on the operating characteristic (OC) curve. A computer program is presented which will provide minimum sample size for single sample attribute sampling plans. The program provides sampling plans based on the binomial distribution. It incorporates...

  • Intersections of Buddhist Philosophy and Psychological Science: An Exploration of Common and Differential Effects of Meditation

    Creator:
    Braun, Victoria A.
    Abstract:
    Interweaving perspectives from both social cognitive psychology and Tibetan Buddhism, the present study examined common and differential effects of two styles of meditation: Loving-kindness meditation (LKM) and mindfulness meditation (MM). Psychological theories of construct accessibility postulate that cognitive constructs activated frequently are more readily available for processing stimuli. Researchers in...

  • Surface water variation and water storage potential in Upper Klamath Basin, 2000-2012

    Creator:
    Tanner, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    With too many demands placed on too little water, the Klamath Basin and itsresidents - human and otherwise - are in dire need. There exists a significant opportunityfor mitigation in the purposeful conversion of seasonal wetlands to permanent wetlandsmanaged to increase baseline water storage levels in the Upper Basin. A...

  • Impact of Dansgaard-Oeschger and Heinrich Events on the Latitudinal Distribution of Methane Sources during Marine Isotope Stage 3

    Creator:
    Edwards, Jon S.
    Abstract:
    Understanding how the latitudinal distribution of methane sources changed between stadial and interstadial climate states during the last glacial period can provide important clues about how terrestrial hydroclimate and ecosystems evolved between these different states. The punctuation of the millennial-scale structure by Heinrich events is also of interest in this...

  • Evaluation of the limit number effects for reduced inspection in ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 using a Markov model

    Creator:
    Grinde, Roger B.
    Abstract:
    ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 is a widely used attributes acceptance sampling system. A necessary aspect of a scheme, from both a theoretical and psychological viewpoint, is the switching between normal, tightened, and reduced inspection as a function of quality history. In the latest revision of the standard the switching rules were altered...

  • Analytical Meditation on Motivation to Meditate

    Creator:
    Lindsley, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Meditation research in recent decades has disproportionately focused on the Buddhist derived practice of “mindfulness” meditation while leaving most other Buddhist meditation practices unstudied. The current study seeks to remedy this homogeneity through the adaptation of a novel meditation practice used in Tibetan Buddhism to affect motivation. We explored traditional...
