"Arouse, Ye Slaves!": The Bill Haywood Trial, The Clash Of Organized Labor And Capital In The West, And The Influence Of The Appeal To Reason, William Toombs Sep 2015

"Arouse, Ye Slaves!": The Bill Haywood Trial, The Clash Of Organized Labor And Capital In The West, And The Influence Of The Appeal To Reason, William Toombs

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

The trial for the murder of a controversial ex-governor of Idaho represented a watershed moment in American labor history, especially in the West. The accused, three men who had been involved with the leadership of a predominantly western labor union, had been questionably extradited from Colorado to Idaho, causing a firestorm within the pro-labor forces. This public uproar and denunciation eventually caught the attention of sitting President Theodore Roosevelt, who became an unexpected and unwanted mouthpiece for concentrated capital. Ultimately, as this case came to occupy almost every major newspaper in the country, it illustrated the fierce and deadly clashes …

The purpose of this study was to explore adult orthopedic surgical patient experiences during their preoperative, perioperative and postoperative care; utilizing the results to discuss specific interactions in care that produced positive or negative outcomes. Partnering with patients to understand shared decision making and patient centered care has been previously researched in literature, and continued research is key to discover effective care practices. The Centers for Disease Control and National Center for Health Statistics (2015) reports total knee and hip joint replacement surgeries of more than one million yearly. The large patient population magnifies the need to understand patient experiences …


Conservatives And The End Of The Draft, Shad Ashcroft May 2015

Conservatives And The End Of The Draft, Shad Ashcroft

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

While conservatives of all stripes generally supported the Vietnam War, particularly at its onset, I will show that the debate to end conscription reveals a rift between traditional conservatives who supported the draft and libertarian conservatives who opposed it (while generally supporting the war). Furthermore, though they shared the goal of ending the draft, libertarian conservatives and New Left protesters agreed on little else. The protesters' primary goal was to prevent future wars like Vietnam. Conservatives, on the other hand, embraced the all-volunteer army in part to maintain executive branch independence in foreign affiars.

Changes In Estrogen Receptor Alpha (Erα) Phosphorylation In Human T Cells, Samantha Meneely May 2015

Changes In Estrogen Receptor Alpha (Erα) Phosphorylation In Human T Cells, Samantha Meneely

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

Estrogen has two receptor proteins, estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and estrogen receptor beta (ERβ). ERα can undergo multiple post-transcriptional modifications (PTMs); however, relatively little is known about the function and regulation of any of the PTMs that ERα can potentially undergo, especially in vivo. In total, 19 phosphorylation sites have been identified in ERα thus far, and most sites contain a Ser-Pro motif. Different pathways are responsible for the phosphorylation of different sites. These pathways include mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling, IkappaB kinase complex alpha (IKKα), cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7), a subunit of transcription factor II H, protein kinase B …


"If De Babies Cried": Slave Motherhood In Antebellum Missouri, Lucy Phelps Hamilton May 2015

"If De Babies Cried": Slave Motherhood In Antebellum Missouri, Lucy Phelps Hamilton

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

Slavery in Missouri was typically small-scale in nature and featured smallholdings possessing few slaves. Situated on the periphery of the South and the western border of the antebellum United States, Missouri, even after achieving statehood, remained a frontier. This small-scale frontier environment provides an opportunity for the close examination of slave motherhood. Focusing on slave motherhood through the lens of small-scale slavery in Missouri, I am able to closely examine the day-to-day lives of these women and focus on their common experiences as mothers living in bondage. This in turn paints a broader picture of typical slave mother experiences in …


Novel Polyurethane Foams Derived From Bio-Based Materials, Nelson Elbers May 2015

Novel Polyurethane Foams Derived From Bio-Based Materials, Nelson Elbers

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

The bio-based materials α-phellandrene and β-caryophyllene were used in this research as starting materials for the synthesis of novel bio-based polyurethane foams. The purpose was to assess the properties of the novel bio-based polyurethane foams and to determine whether they could serve as viable options for the commercial application of thermal insulation of buildings, freezers, pipes and storage tanks. The bio-based polyols using α-phellandrene and β-caryophyllene were synthesized. The polyols were synthesized using a photochemical thiol-ene coupling reaction. The hydroxyl groups were attached to the bio-based materials using different mol ratio of 1-thioglycerol and 2-mercaptoethanol. The synthesized bio-based polyols were …


Facile Synthesis And Electrochemical Analysis Of Cobalt Sulfide Nanostructures For Supercapacitor Applications, Esam Alqurashi May 2015

Facile Synthesis And Electrochemical Analysis Of Cobalt Sulfide Nanostructures For Supercapacitor Applications, Esam Alqurashi

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

The main objective of the thesis is to understand the effect of morphologies and electrolytes on the electrochemical properties of cobalt sulfides. The nanostructured cobalt sulfides were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. For this, cobalt nitrate Co(NO3)2.H2O, cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), thioacetamide (TTA), poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and ethylene glycol were used. The effect of growth parameters such as solvent and presence of surfactants on the size and morphology of the cobalt sulfides were investigated. It was observed that these variations could provide cobalt sulfides with a range of sizes, shapes and morphologies. The nanostructured cobalt sulfides were structurally …


Yes Horray! Yes Horray! Yes Horray! For Temperance!: A Relation Of Mining And The Temperance Movement In Joplin, Missouri, Linda Kristina Gooch Apr 2015

Yes Horray! Yes Horray! Yes Horray! For Temperance!: A Relation Of Mining And The Temperance Movement In Joplin, Missouri, Linda Kristina Gooch

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

This thesis examines the history of Joplin, Missouri in its development from a mining camp to a boomtown. The solace miners found for their anxieties within Joplin’s saloons demonstrates the community’s willingness to profit from the afflictions of its citizens. City leaders remained indifferent to the circumstances of intemperance because of the revenue generated by liquor license fees and fines for liquor law violations. Prostitution, an activity associated with drinking, provided revenue as women paid fines and returned to work to face fines once again. Madams paid fines for selling liquor from brothels and then continued to serve their clients. …

Facebook is part of more than 890 million users’ daily routines, and the majority of what is posted everyday can be considered a happy, or a positive post, which is a post related to positive emotional outcomes. This research intends to show the close relationship between Facebook and happiness. The goal is to explain what benefits people get from posting a positive …


Characterization Of Boron Hydride Compounds For Potential Use In Pressurized Water Nuclear Reactors, Alex Blake Apr 2015

Characterization Of Boron Hydride Compounds For Potential Use In Pressurized Water Nuclear Reactors, Alex Blake

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

The isotope 10B is a good neutron absorber with a thermal neutron absorption cross section of ~3800 barns. This quality has led to the use of boron as a neutron absorber in the nuclear power industry. In current practice, boric acid is commonly used as a neutron absorber in the water regime of active and passive safety systems. The boron hydride compounds in this study, namely Li2B10H10, Na2B10H10, K2B10H10, Li2B12H12, Na2B12H12, and K2B12H12, have been studied to assess their performance in situations where criticality control needs exceed normal control methods. In this type of situation these compounds have several advantages …
