Theories of elementary bimolecular and decay processes are critically examined. Prereq., undergraduate physical chemistry. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Same as PSYC 4541. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Covers an intensive survey and synthesis of recent findings contributing to our understanding of the neurobiological basis of addiction. Analysis of both drug and behavioral addictions will be made at the molecular, cellular and neurocircuitry levels and synthesized into models utilizing common themes between various addictions and contributing pathologies. Prereq., PSYC 4132 or NRSC 4132. NRSC 4545 and 5545 are the same course. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Same as HIST 4548.

Introduces multi-wavelength observational techniques,their limitations and effects of various noise sources. Describes basic data handling, error analysis, and statistical tests relevant to modeling. Topics include probability distributions, model-fitting algorithms, confidence intervals, correlations, sampling and convolution. Students derive physical measurements and uncertainties with hands-on analysis of real datasets. Prereq., senior level undergraduate physics or instructor consent. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Restricted to graduate students. Same as GEOL 4550.

Examines the underlying biochemical mechanisms that are responsible for the physiological adaptations to short- and long-term dynamic exercise including carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. The interaction of key biochemical alterations as it relates to disease (diabetes, obesity, and aging) and exercise will be addressed. Prereq., one year of chemistry. Prereq. or coreq., IPHY 4650 or instructor consent. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Same as MCDB 4550.

Covers seminal classic texts and/or fundamental topics in analytic metaphysics and epistemology. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Examines the relationship and negotiation of culture/status/place through representation(s) within and concerning Indigenous peoples/communities. Focuses on U.S. representational forms in popular experiences e.g., literature, film, media and the roots of those representations via legal and medical definitions. This investigation and analysis is supplemented with focus on gender as well as contextualization through global Indigenous portrayals. Recommended prereq., ETHN 2003 or 2013. ETHN 4553 and 5553 are the same course. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.
