Behavioral Contrast In Pigeons And Rats: A Comparative Analysis, James Dougan, Frances Mcsweeney, Valeri Farmer-Dougan Dec 1988

Behavioral Contrast In Pigeons And Rats: A Comparative Analysis, James Dougan, Frances Mcsweeney, Valeri Farmer-Dougan

James Dougan

The effects of reinforcement rate on behavioral contrast were examined in pigeons and rats. Each species was exposed to a series of 12 multiple variable-interval schedules, divided into four 3-schedule series. Each series consisted of a standard contrast manipulation, and baseline schedules provided a different rate of reinforcement in each of the series. The functions relating reinforcement rate to the magnitude of contrast were different across species. Rats showed a U-shaped function, with reliable contrast occurring only at high reinforcement rates. Pigeons showed an inverted U-shaped function, with contrast occurring on all schedules except the schedule providing the lowest rate …

Value Of Children In Compensation For Wrongful Death, William Rieber, Euston Quah Dec 1988

Value Of Children In Compensation For Wrongful Death, William Rieber, Euston Quah

William Rieber

The purpose of this paper is primarily to offer an economic perception of the loss involving the wrongful death of children. Unfortunately, little or no attention thus far has been directed to the question of what ought to be the basis of compensation, and many of the sums awarded by courts do not bear any relation to the value of the child that is lost.

Secondary Effects Of Cardiovascular Drug Use On Perceptions Of Functional Communication Needs Of Nursing Home Older Adults, Twhanna J. Green, Terry E. Spigner, Joan Payne, Bernard Carver Dec 1988

Secondary Effects Of Cardiovascular Drug Use On Perceptions Of Functional Communication Needs Of Nursing Home Older Adults, Twhanna J. Green, Terry E. Spigner, Joan Payne, Bernard Carver

Joan Payne

Approximately one half of all persons 65 years and over in this country have some form of cardiovascular disease for which they are taking a variety of medications. Cardiovascular medications, however, have adverse side effects, like confusion and depression, that can alter the user's behavior and perceptions about the world. This study seeks to examine whether the presence or absence of cardiovascular medications in a sample of nursing home residents over 65 with no history of neurological complications is reflected in how those persons rate the importance of functional communication skills in their everyday lives. Results indicate that, for the …

Evolution In Thermodynamic Perspective: An Ecological Approach, Bruce H. Weber, David J. Depew, C Dyke, Stanley N. Salthe, Eric D. Schneider, Jeffrey S. Wicken, Robert E. Ulanowicz Dec 1988

Evolution In Thermodynamic Perspective: An Ecological Approach, Bruce H. Weber, David J. Depew, C Dyke, Stanley N. Salthe, Eric D. Schneider, Jeffrey S. Wicken, Robert E. Ulanowicz

David J Depew

Recognition that biological systems are stabilized far from equilibrium by self-organizing, informed, autocatalytic cycles and structures that dissipate unusable energy and matter has led to recent attempts to reformulate evolutionary theory. We hold that such insights are consistent with the broad development of the Darwinian Tradition and with the concept of natural selection. Biological systems are selected that re not only more efficient than competitors but also enhance the integrity of the web of energetic relations in which they are embedded. But the expansion of the informational phase space, upon which selection acts, is also guaranteed by the properties of …

Plan Distrito Metropolitano. Quito Actual Fase 1. Proceso Urbano, Fernando Carrión Mena Dec 1988

Plan Distrito Metropolitano. Quito Actual Fase 1. Proceso Urbano, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

La concepción de la planificación urbana incorpora, como recurso metodológico, al estudio histórico. A partir del conocimiento sistemático y periódico de las distintas etapas en el desarrollo de las ciudades, con el señalamiento de los desequilibrios y de los peligros de ahondar en aspectos críticos; el análisis histórico recupera para el presente y el futuro, los elementos estructurales que se constituyen en el crecimiento urbano: su sentido social, económico e incluso político.

Devuelve a la ciudad y a los administradores los hilos conductores de una cierta "racionalidad" en la distribución espacial, en las tendencias generales del uso del suelo en …

Breadth-Depth Or State-Trait Curiosity? A Factor Analysis Of State-Trait Curiosity And State Anxiety Scales, Gregory J. Boyle Dec 1988

Breadth-Depth Or State-Trait Curiosity? A Factor Analysis Of State-Trait Curiosity And State Anxiety Scales, Gregory J. Boyle

Gregory J. Boyle

Research into state-trait curiosity and anxiety has resulted in a simplication of the constructs involved, particularly in the curiosity domain. This field of research previously has been dominated by a wide variety of interpretations such as specific vs diversive curiosity, perceptual vs epistemic curiosity, and breadth vs depth curiosity. It has been shown however, that these particular interpretations of the curiosity construct can be encompassed more satisfactorily within a global state-trait model, thereby avoiding much of the confusion which has plagued curiosity research to-date. In order to provide support for the state-trait curiosity model, the present paper examines the factor …

Notes On Displaced Ces Functional Forms, Don Fullerton

This document shows how to add another parameter to a Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) utility function, derive demand functions, and solve for indirect utility and expenditure functions for the evaluation of money metric utility welfare changes from a price or tax change.

Mood Induction, Interpersonal Perceptions, And Behavioral Rejection In Students With Depressed, Non-Depressed Disturbed, And Normal Roommates, Charles A. Sanislow, David V. Perkins, Deborah Ware Balogh

Charles A. Sanislow, Ph.D.

The present study used the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) to select, based on multidimensional criteria, 51 college students who displayed depression alone, depression in conjunction with other psychological disturbance (PD), nondepressive PD, or no PD. All students had been living with randomly assigned roommates (RMs) for at least 10 wks. RMs of these students completed the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List, the Profile of Mood States, MMPI-168 Depression scale items, and items concerning roommate behavior. RMs of students depressed in conjunction with other PD were significantly more depressed themselves on 2 measures than were RMs of students in the …

Nonrandom Mixing Models Of Hiv Transmission, Peter Cramton, Edward H. Kaplan, A. David Paltiel Dec 1988

Nonrandom Mixing Models Of Hiv Transmission, Peter Cramton, Edward H. Kaplan, A. David Paltiel

Peter Cramton

Models of HIV transmission and the AIDS epidemic generally assume random mixing among those infected with HIV and those who are not. For sexually transmitted HIV, this implies that individuals select sex partners without regard to attributes such as familiarity, attractiveness, or risk of infection. This paper formulates a model for examining the impact of nonrandom mixing on HIV transmission. We present threshold conditions that determine when HIV epidemics can occur within the framework of this model. Nonrandom mixing is introduced by assuming that sexually active individuals select sex partners to minimize the risk of infection. In addition to variability …

Are Constitutional Cases Political?, Brian Slattery Dec 1988

Are Constitutional Cases Political?, Brian Slattery

Brian Slattery

To argue that constitutional adjudication is political does not carry us very far unless we go on to specify what the pursuit of politics entails, the goals it seeks to attain, and the basic principles informing its practice. The word political has no clearly defined meaning in modern usage. Rather, it has the chameleon-like capacity to change colours so as to blend with a variety of different conceptual backgrounds. Of course, if we adopt an Aristotelian notion of politics as the pursuit of the common good of a community and the individual goods of its members, we can agree that …
