Are Stock Prices Related To New York's Climatic Conditions?, Matthew M. Cullen
Are Stock Prices Related To New York's Climatic Conditions?, Matthew M. Cullen
Honors Theses
The past five years has shown tremendous growth in a new wave and style of investing strategy. This new style, known as behavioral investing, attempts to analyze financial markets through the eye of a social scientist rather than a financial professional. Its followers try to see market movements as affected not necessarily by the business or economy but by the cognition and mood of buyers and seller. This paper analyzes the effect of climatic conditions on mood and the effect that has on market movements and volume. For the most part, it was found that there is no significant relationship …

Maya Ritual And Myth: Human Sacrifice In The Context Of The Ballgame And The Relationship To The Popol Vuh, Jessica Zaccagnini
Maya Ritual And Myth: Human Sacrifice In The Context Of The Ballgame And The Relationship To The Popol Vuh, Jessica Zaccagnini
Honors Theses
The ballgame existed as an integral facet of Mayan life. Ritual and mythic expression are inextricably linked to the execution of the ballgame and are deeply integrated into Mayan culture. Ritual human sacrifice is an unquestionable aspect related to the ballgame. The Maya rulers extended the outcome of the ballgarne by satisfying the deities through ritual and human sacrifice (Scarborough 1991 :143). The Quiche book of epic narratives, named the Papal Vuh, is a recurring theme in the exploration of the ballgame and it is deeply weighted with mythic significance. A discussion of how this theme is interwoven into the …

The Truman Doctrine Vs. The Bush Doctrine: Justifying War With Iraq, Lindsay St. Germain
The Truman Doctrine Vs. The Bush Doctrine: Justifying War With Iraq, Lindsay St. Germain
Honors Theses
It is commonly thought that presidential doctrines set a precedent for the country to follow. These doctrines are intended to reflect the attitudes, and values of not only the president in power, but the best interests of the United States in general. Using public opinion surveys, historical documents, and current news articles and books, I will analyze the Truman Doctrine, enunciated in 1947, and the Bush Doctrine, put forth in 2001. In doing so, I hope to compare military actions justified using both doctrines, and point out what I see to be the flaws and triumphs of the Bush Doctrine; …
Sol-Gel-Platform Optical Sensors For Oxygen Gas : Sensor Development And Investigation Of Probe Partitioning In Sol-Gel Matrices, Desiree L. Plata
Sol-Gel-Platform Optical Sensors For Oxygen Gas : Sensor Development And Investigation Of Probe Partitioning In Sol-Gel Matrices, Desiree L. Plata
Honors Theses
I have developed gas sensors that respond rapidly and noticeably to changes in oxygen concentration by doping fluorescent complexes into gas-permeable sol-gel materials. Ruthenium (II) 4,7-diphenyl-1,10- phenanthroline, Ru(dpp)32+, responds to variations in ambient oxygen concentrations through marked changes in its fluorescence intensity. I investigated the response of Ru(dpp)32+ to oxygen in solution, in aerogels (sol gels dried under ambient conditions) and in aerogels (sol gels dried using supercritical conditions). Aerogels have particularly high porosity and low density, which allows for rapid diffusion of gases into the material. The aerogel sensor responds reversibly to changes in ambient oxygen concentration within 10 …
The Use Of Fluorescence To Investigate The Factors Leading To Complex Formation Between Naphthalenes And ├Ƒ-Cyclodextrins, Jamie M. Iannacone
The Use Of Fluorescence To Investigate The Factors Leading To Complex Formation Between Naphthalenes And ├Ƒ-Cyclodextrins, Jamie M. Iannacone
Honors Theses
Fraiji et al. determined a binding constant (K) of 581 = 6 M-1 for the 1:1 complex between 2-acetylnaphthalene (2-AN) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in H20 using fluorescence quenching experiments (Appl. Spectrosc. 1994, 48, 79). Molecular modeling experiments indicate the possibility of complex stabilization resulting from hydrogen bonds between the C=O group of 2-AN and the -OH groups on the rim of β-CD. To check this possibility, we measured the K of the 2-AN:trimethyl-β-CD (TM-β- CD) complex, where all rim -OH groups are converted to –OCH3. In this case, K decreases to 134 M-1. To show that this is due to …
Solution Structure Refinement Comparing Reference Model Noe Volumes, Maura Mahar
Solution Structure Refinement Comparing Reference Model Noe Volumes, Maura Mahar
Honors Theses
NMR is a powerful experimental technique which can be used to determine protein structures. Central to this process is conversion of peak volumes in the NOE data sets into distance constraints and then structural refinement against those constraints. In general, each solution structural analysis is initiated de novo. We are interested in the structural analysis of a series of hybrids derived from two parental proteins (rubredoxins from mesophilic bacterium Clostridium pasteurianum (Cp) and the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus (Pf)). Near 1 A resolution X-ray structures of Cp and Pf rubredoxins are available to provide a basis for quantitative comparison of …
Investigation Of Indicators In Aerogels And Xerogels, Rebecca L. Wolfe
Investigation Of Indicators In Aerogels And Xerogels, Rebecca L. Wolfe
Honors Theses
A sol-gel is a silicon-oxygen matrix that is suitable for the entrapment of chemical species, including biological species, indicators, dyes, and sensors. Aerogels are sol-gels prepared by supercritical extraction, whereas aerogels are allowed to dry under ambient conditions. The resulting materials differ considerably in their physical properties. We are investigating a series of luminescent species for use as probes of the microenvironment in different sol-gel materials. Sol gels containing each probe are prepared as both aerogels and aerogels; aerogels are formed using a novel contained mold process. Spectral properties, including absorption or excitation spectra, emission spectra, time-based fluorescence scans, and …

This paper will represent an update of the first two POM research productivity rankings published seven years ago (Young, Baird, Pullman, 1996; Malhotra, Kher, 1996). This study will seek to rank business schools and other organizations, both internationally and within the domestic United States. Researchers in the POM field can also view the results to determine who's who and what universities or organizations are demonstrating an increased focus on POM.

Extending Csp To Disambiguate Linda Predicate Operations, Kyle Burke
Extending Csp To Disambiguate Linda Predicate Operations, Kyle Burke
Honors Theses
The Tuple Space communication environment is plagued by the apparent ambiguity present in the predicate operations of Linda, the programming extension used to implement Tuple Space. It bas been shown that by using a method of reasoning which describes only sequentialized traces of events, it is unclear what a failed predicate operation actually means. Using an operational semantics model of Tuple Space, an analysis of the predicate operations using a description of events occurring simultaneously has disambiguated the meanings of the failure cases. Here an algebraic model is provided, using the Communicating Sequential Process (CSP) process algebra as a base. …
Coolest Mud Ever, Kevin Radloff
Coolest Mud Ever, Kevin Radloff
Honors Theses
MUDs, or Multi-User Dungeons, are text-based online multiplayer roleplaying games. Players type commands that allow them to interact with other players in a virtual world, and also interact with the world itself, for example, picking up objects or casting spells. The goal of The Coolest MUD Ever (CME) was to build the basis of an event driven and completely extensible MUD engine with unheard of levels of environmental realism. Whereas other MUDs are organized as a set of distinct nodes in which gameplay occurs exclusively of each other node, my MUD will blur the lines between nodes. While players still …
