This study aimed to explore the relationship between urinary cortisol levels and proximity-seeking behavior in shelter cats and the impact of socialization programs on these two factors. A Spearman’s correlation test found no correlation between cortisol levels and proximity-seeking behavior in shelter cats. Fisher’s 2x2 tests confirmed that the changes...
Emerging adulthood is a newly-defined developmental phase that occurs during the traditional college years (18-22) (Arnett, 2015). These students at colleges and universities are showing a dramatic increase in emotional distress, with the largest increase occurring in anxiety and stress symptomology (Association of University and College Counseling Center Directors, 2017)....

This thesis analyzes contributing factors to Zoom Fatigue and the issues surrounding “attentional dissonance,” or a feeling of tension or rupture between actual and virtual self-perception. The research examines current literature on Zoom Fatigue, and uses the sociological theory of Dramaturgical Analysis, developed by Erving Goffman, to further assess the...
We report here that (4R,9Z)-hexadec-9-en-4-olide [(R)-desmolactone] is a sex
attractant or sex pheromone for multiple species and subspecies in the cerambycid
genus Desmocerus. This compound was previously identified as a female-produced
sex attractant pheromone of Desmocerus californicus californicus.
Headspace volatiles from female Desmocerus aureipennis aureipennis contained
(R)-desmolactone, and the antennae...

Humboldt County has several areas which have naturally
high to extreme wildland fire hazards. Recent settlement within
these areas increases the likelihood of a destructive fire. This
report examines the extent and degree to which climate, slope and
vegetation influence the wildland fire hazard in Humboldt County,
as well as...
