- Description:
- The objective was the development of a photographic mural and a structure that would effectively display the mural, a composite of photographs. The subject was the human body photographed in high contrast. In photographing the body at a close range, areas ordinarily ignored were significantly isolated. The mural itself did not serve as surface for a relief, as originally proposed, but became the focus for the development of a multi-dimensional photographic form (with the omission of any surface variation that would serve on1y to detract). The illusion of depth, created by the mural, will be finalized within the observer, being dependent upon his visual involvement.

- Description:
- Shelter dogs with problem behavior may have trouble getting adopted or may be euthanized. However, there are few studies that have used behavioral assessment and treatments for problem behavior of shelter dogs. Some studies have used functional analyses to determine function of behavior with nonhuman animals, including dogs. However, it is unclear whether the functions tested in those functional analyses approximate the natural contingencies in the environment that the animals live. This study conducted a descriptive analysis to identify environmental variables that occur with problem behavior of shelter dogs. Six dogs housed at a local animal shelter participated in the study. The observations were analyzed and used to determine the temporal proximity of stimuli to problem behavior. Results demonstrated that descriptive analyses are useful in identifying stimuli occurring in the natural environment that are not otherwise used in typical functional analysis conditions. Possible limitations and future research are discussed.

- Description:
- This study inspects whether stressless heavy syllables in English words affect main (primary) stress perception of Adult Saudi learners of English. With the use of 48 two-, three-, and four-syllable nonce words that correspond to the phonotactics of English and have only one heavy syllable and one stressed light syllable in each word, 10 participants listen to a recording of a native English speaker producing these words and match each word they hear to one of multiple written forms that match the heard word and differ only in having each syllable written in capitals and bolds at a time. The results show that stressless heavy syllables in English words affect main stress perception of Saudi learners of English when stress falls on light syllables in reality.
