As the most robust accessory mineral, both physically and chemically, zircon can preserve valuable geochemical information of the melt that it crystallized from, which makes it an extremely powerful tool to investigate the nature of the first 500 Ma of Earth’s history. Zircon is…
Understanding why conflict persists or comes to a peaceful resolution is a central question in international relations. In these three chapters I examine the micro and macro factors that affect the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—one of the most enduring, and focal conflicts. In th…
The present study tested aspects of restorative environments theoretical frameworks developed by Kaplan and Kaplan (1989) and Ulrich (1983). The frameworks have similar evolutionary assumptions, and both predict that natural environments are relatively high in restorative potent…
This dissertation explores the social impact and cultural meaning of Christian conversion among Dayaks, the indigenous people of East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The findings are based on eighteen months of fieldwork in Samarinda, East Kalimantan as well as archival research conducte…
Cross-language activation among the three languages of trilingual speakers was studied using a cross-language, translation-equivalent priming paradigm in a lexical-decision task. The effects of proficiency level in each language and the relative proficiency levels of the three l…
The simultaneous presentations of independently-established discriminative stimuli can control rates of operant responding higher than rates maintained by the individual stimuli. This “additive-summation” phenomenon has been shown with a variety of different reinforcers (e.g. fo…
The role of assembled phonology in English word recognition has been the focus of a considerable research effort. Yet, the empirical findings regarding the role of assembly exhibit marked contradictions, which are further linked to the properties of the experimental method. This…
Circadian rhythms in the Syrian hamster can be adjusted by inducing the animal to become active during its usual sleep period. This type of clock resetting is distinct from clock resetting by light, and is thus known as nonphotic phase shifting. Although the prevailing view has …
