The Measurement of Psychophysical Functions Characteristic of Extreme Degrees of Artistic Capacity

Through extended laboratory measurements an attempt has been made to determine the psycho-physical traits characteristic of artistic as opposed to non-artistic children. Results indicate that while differences do not exist in motility, motor accuracy, and color sensitivity, there are significant differences in imagination, memory for visual stimuli, completeness of observation, and originality of line drawing

Annotated Checklist of Amphibian and Reptile Species Observed at the Gordon Natural Area (West Chester University, PA) 2008-2020. Version I

Data were compiled from surveys by Dr. Harry Tiebout, augmented by observations from GNA staff (which, as used here, includes student interns), graduate student Steven Clay, the Stroud Water Research Center, additional WCU Faculty, and members of the WCU Grounds Department. Local residents who are regular visitors to the Gordon have also occasionally contributed observations. Because herptile data haven\u27t been systematically archived by the GNA staff until recent years, there are many gaps in the observation timeline that are clearly artificial. For example, although the observation history for the Eastern American Toad, Eastern Redback Salamander, and Eastern Box Turtle suggests that there were a number of years in which one, or all, of these species were not seen at the GNA, it is very likely that all three of these species have been observed numerous times during every year that the GNA has been in existence. Hopefully, moving forward, we\u27ll be able to maintain a more complete record of observations

Planning for Sustainability in Small Municipalities: The Influence of Interest Groups, Growth Patterns, and Institutional Characteristics

How and why small municipalities promote sustainability through planning efforts is poorly understood. We analyzed ordinances in 451 Maine municipalities and tested theories of policy adoption using regression analysis.We found that smaller communities do adopt programs that contribute to sustainability relevant to their scale and context. In line with the political market theory, we found that municipalities with strong environmental interests, higher growth, and more formal governments were more likely to adopt these policies. Consideration of context and capacity in planning for sustainability will help planners better identify and benefit from collaboration, training, and outreach opportunities
