Cues of Colorism: The Psychological, Sociocultural, and Developmental Differences between Light-skinned and Dark-skinned African-Americans
… no differences in these variables between light-skinned and dark-skinned African-Americans and those reared in rural versus non-rural areas. Results did indicate gender differences on skin color satisfaction and an interaction of skin color and rural status on media influence on appearance. The …

Effective methods for manipulating and rendering skinned meshes
… deformation and level-of-detail rendering of skinned mesh. The first part of this dissertation includes methods to effectively generate new animation for a skinned mesh, which may be a non-articulated model or highly deformable surface such as face or clothes. We develop a regression framework …

Factors affecting the excitability of skinned fibres of the rat
During the last decade, the rat mechanically skinned fibre preparation has been used with increasing frequency to investigate cellular aspects of excitation-contraction (EC) coupling processes in mammalian skeletal muscle. The main aim of this thesis was to increase awareness of factors that affect …

Perfectly White: Light-Skinned Slaves and the Abolition Movement 1835 - 1865
… looks at American abolitionists use of light-skinned slaves to prove to Northerners slavery was an abomination. This project is also a study of the social constructions of race and the meanings of skin color in Northern and Southern American societies. This research draws mostly upon primary …

Perceptions of Complexions: Consciousness and Self-Identification Among Dark-Skinned Blacks
… of Black Americans (NSBA) indicate that lighter-skinned blacks – net of such factors as region of residence, age, and sex – consistently have higher levels of nearly every socioeconomic indicator including educational attainment, personal and family income, and perceived physical attractiveness …

Behavior of Hybrid Thick- and Thin-Skinned Orogenic Wedges in the Western Interior USA and South-Central Andes
… and propose a new model linking thin- and thick-skinned structures in the region. In Appendix B, the highest thermochronology transect from the South American continent constrains uplift and exhumation of the Frontal Cordillera to the Early-Middle Miocene (ca. 20 Ma), contemporaneous with surface …

Excitation-Contraction Coupling: The Effect of Calcium Channel Antagonistic Drugs on Reprimed and Inactivated Skinned Skeletal Muscle Fibers
Contracture of skinned (sarcolemma removed), skeletal muscle fibers can be elicited by sudden changes in the ionic composition of the myoplasm. The bulk of evidence in the literature suggests that such contracture of skinned fibers is triggered by depolarization of resealed transverse tubules. If …

The effect of photoperiod on the gonads and basophilic adenohypophyseal cells of the rough-skinned newt, Taricha granulosa granulosa
The function of light in the reproductive cycle in amphibians has not been extensively studied. However, Farner (1965) feels that the small amount of experimental evidence suggests that photoperiod may play a role in the testicular cycle of Rana esculenta. The purpose of this paper is to study the …

Contractile Performance and Energy Utilization of Skeletal Muscle; Creatine Kinase and Acto-myosin ATPase
… and energy utilization in skeletal muscle. When skinned fibers (membrane removed) were provided a limited supply of [ATP] (0.1 mM), this resulted in increased Ca²⁺ sensitivity. The addition of PCr to low ATP solutions restored Ca²⁺ sensitivity and allowed normal isometric force generation across …
