Heats of transport in binary liquid mixtures
… heats of transport, and Q2, were studied by Platt, Vongvanich, Fowler, and Rowley (1982) for the toluene-chlorobenzene-bromobenzene system. In this work, the binary heat of transport, Q, is determined for the toluene-chlorobenzene, chlorobenzene-bromobenzene, and toluenebromobenzene systems. …

The acclimation ability of the shale barren endemic Eriogonum alleni to light and heat
… a steep slope, and an exposed rocky surface (Platt, 1951). They have a high total irradiance and can experience temperatures higher than the surrounding deciduous forest. A variety of plant species, several of which are rare or endangered, are endemic to the shale barren habitat. One reason …

"""Reverse pictures"": twentieth-century American portraiture and the subversion of the medico-photographic body"
… Hartley, Paul Cadmus, Jared French, George Platt Lynes, and Diane Arbus. Although these artists were not known for creating self-consciously scientific work, I posit that anatomical typologies acted as a kind of structuring absence. Tracing their various forms of portraiture back to …

The Behavioral and Neural Mechanisms of Social and Non-social Risky Decision-Making
… been primarily studied within economic contexts (Platt & Huettel, 2008). This has led to the development of sound methods and models for studying risky choice behavior (Rangel, Camerer & Montague, 2008). In particular, these models are helpful for estimating how much risk an individual is willing …

An Examination of the Relationship Between Locus of Control and the Interpersonal Problem-Solving Ability of Means-Ends Thinking
Rotter's Internal-External (I-E) Scale and Platt and Spivack's Means-Ends Problem-Solving (MEPS) procedure were administered to two sample groups of undergraduate students at Gonzaga University located in Spokane, Washington during the fall of 1984 and the spring of 1985 to determine if a …

SYSTEM MANAGEMENT IN A FRAME RELAY NETWORK
The introduction of digital transmission systems in wide area networks has resulted in a dramatic improvement in the bit error rate. Fast packet switching is a new switching technique which has been defined in response to this improved error rate. In the spectrum of switching technologies it …

Mechanisms driving social structure in Octodon degus
We report results of a study on the mechanisms shaping social network structure in Octodon degus, a diurnal, semi-fossorial rodent endemic to Chile. Using data collected over three seasons (2022–2023), we tested the roles of nighttime spatial proximity, female social cohesion, and female homophily …

Implementing a Student-regulated Learning Tool in Reading: A Heuristic Case Study
The use of a self-regulated learning tool can provide students with an organized and helpful avenue toward setting goals, creating action plans to meet those goals, and most importantly, reflect on the goals to monitor their progress. Then adapt or change the action plan where needed. Current …

Functional Unexpectedness: Reframing the role of predictability in language comprehension
This thesis explored the role of unexpected information during naturalistic language comprehension to determine if decreased predictability supported improved communication outcomes. Individuals listened to 12 short stories while measuring their electroencephalography, then were tested on their …

The emergence of landscape urbanism in London: a critical landscape analysis of urban nature under the Anthropocene
This thesis explores the complexities and tensions between the contemporary profusion of ecological design rhetoric and the contested histories of material urban landscapes. A specific set of ecological ideas underpin the field of ‘landscape urbanism’: an approach to urban design associated with a …
