The first series of experiments examined whether putative satiety hormones reduce feeding in Syrian hamsters. Feeding in fasted hamsters was measured after peripheral injections of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), bombesin (BBS), thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), and calc…
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…
Disease progression manifests through a broad spectrum of statically and longitudinally linked clinical features and outcomes. This leads to heterogeneous progression patterns that may vary greatly across individual patients and makes the survival and quality of a patient’s life…
In the past few decades, structural control research has focused mostly on passive and semiactive vibration mitigation strategies. Among the latter, the clipped-optimal control paradigm is one of the most commonly used. With this control strategy, a primary controller is designe…
Natural disasters are occurring increasingly around the world, causing significant economic losses. To alleviate their adverse effect, it is crucial to plan what should be done in response to them in a proactive manner. This research aims at developing proactive and real-time re…
The South American Monsoon System (SAMS) is characterized by a well-defined wet and dry season, which is connected to the reversal of anomalous low-level winds east of the Andes. Driven by local and remote processes, the intensity and duration of the SAMS can vary considerably f…
The destructive potential of wildfires has been exacerbated by climate change, causing their frequencies and intensities to continuously increase globally. In this context, increasing wildfire activity across the globe has become an urgent issue with enormous ecological and soci…
In-situ foaming the injection gas for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) can improve the volumetric sweep efficiency of the gas phase and reduce gas channeling and viscous fingering in the oil reservoirs with permeability contrast. However, the success of foam displacement in porous me…
In der deutschen Sprache sind die Begriffe „Opfer“ und „Suendenbock“ doppeldeutig, was in anthropologischen Theorien ueber Ursachen von Gewalt und Krieg dazu gefuehrt hat, dass Loesungen im paedagogischen und politischen Kontext unauffindbar waren, um Gewalt und Krieg zu beenden…
Esta tesis es una propuesta para usar los memes como fuentes históricas para entender los imaginarios de guerra y paz en el plebiscito de Colombia en el 2016. Desde una perspectiva histórica esta investigación entiende la internet como un archivo, un lugar donde algunos objetos …
The ever advancing scale of experimental nuclear physics has lit a fire under nuclear theorists. With the inevitable explosion in the number of exotic isotopes available for study at the soon to be operational Facility for Rare Isotope Beams and other rare isotope labs, the need…
Does the development of sensory processing effect preferential looking behavior? Three experiments were performed, each with a sample of 13 three- and four-month-old infants to provide insight into this question. In addition, a fourth experiment was conducted to determine if a c…
Scallops were the third most valuable wild-caught marine animals in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2018, with a first-sale value of £69.7 million. Despite the high relative and absolute economic value of scallop fisheries in the UK, the majority are not managed based on quantitative…
Circadian rhythms in rodents can be phase shifted by activity bouts or light pulses. Syrian hamsters were entrained to a 14:10 full photoperiod (FPP) and were induced to run in the middle of their subjective day. Four of 11 hamsters showed high levels of induced wheel running an…
This research explored the cognitive processes underlying the Response Amplification Effect (RAE), which is ambivalent people's tendency to judge the object of their ambivalence (typically, a stigmatized other) more extremely than a comparable control target. Being in a state of…
Political science research has often examined how the actions of the police affect the public. Yet, there has been little research to examine the broader political effects of controversial policing incidents, such as police shootings. Since 2014, the U.S. public has seen, read, …
The nature of learning in backward masking was investigated in a series of experiments. Five experiments were conducted to probe various aspects of learning in backward masking, including retention over time without practice, transfer of learning across different SOAs, and trans…
