Religion And Technology: Refiguring Place, Space, Identity And Community, Lily Kong
Religion And Technology: Refiguring Place, Space, Identity And Community, Lily Kong
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
This paper reviews the literature on the religion-technology nexus, drawing up a research agenda and offering preliminary empirical insights. Firsts I stress the need to explore the new politics of space as a consequence of technological development, emphasizing questions about the role of religion in effecting a form of religious (neo)imperialism, and uneven access to techno-religious spaces. Second, I highlight the need to examine the politics of identity and community, since cyberspace is not an isotropic surface. Third, I underscore the need to engage with questions about the poetics of religious community as social relations become mediated by technology. Finally, …
Matter Waves In A Gravitational Field: An Index Of Refraction For Massive Particles In General Relativity, James C. Evans, Paul M. Alsing, Stefano Giorgetti, Kamal Kanti Nandi
Matter Waves In A Gravitational Field: An Index Of Refraction For Massive Particles In General Relativity, James C. Evans, Paul M. Alsing, Stefano Giorgetti, Kamal Kanti Nandi
All Faculty Scholarship
We consider the propagation of massive-particle de Broglie waves in a static, isotropic metric in General relativity. We demonstrate the existence of an index of refraction that governs the waves and that has all the properties of a classical index of refraction. We confirm our interpretation with a Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin solution of the general-relativistic Klein-Gordon equation. Finally, we make some observations on the significance of the optical action.
Creating Healing Spaces, The Process Of Designing Holistically A Battered Women Shelter, Lilian Menéndez
Creating Healing Spaces, The Process Of Designing Holistically A Battered Women Shelter, Lilian Menéndez
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
My interest in the environment has led me to study the effects of space on people, both natural and man-made. This project explores how architects and designers can design spaces conducive to the healing process. The emphasis of this thesis is on my design methodology, with the hope that this project will help other designers in their struggle to create spaces that heal the body, soul and spirit.
To develop this project, I chose a shelter for battered women as the building type. This shelter is theoretically located in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. Its main goal is to create an environment …

Trends. Commentary On The January 16, 2001 Secrecy News Item "Rumsfeld Commission Calls For Anti-Satellite Tests.", Ibpp Editor
International Bulletin of Political Psychology
IBPP comments on a SECRECY NEWS article from January 2001, which discussed Donald Rumsfeld's call for anti-satellite tests based on what the SECRECY NEWS authors considered unsubstantiated claims that there was a "virtual certainty" of future hostilities in space.
The Effect Of Space And Furnishings On Academic Readiness Scores Of West Virginia Preschoolers, J. Elise Coccari
The Effect Of Space And Furnishings On Academic Readiness Scores Of West Virginia Preschoolers, J. Elise Coccari
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
The effect of space and furnishings, as measured by the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale – Revised (ECERS-R), on the School Readiness Composite (SRC) of the Bracken Basic Concept Scale –Revised (BBCS-R) was investigated. The data analyzed was collected as part of the West Virginia Educare Initiative and included the SRC from 65 preschool students, ranging in age from 2 years, 6 months to 5 years, 0 months. The first subtest score on the ECERS-R, space and furnishings, was also calculated for each child’s classroom. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient between the SRC on the BBCS-R and the space and …
A Spatial-Temporal Statistical Approach To Command And Control Problems In Battle-Space Digitization, David A. Wendt, Noel A. Cressie, Gardar Johannesson
A Spatial-Temporal Statistical Approach To Command And Control Problems In Battle-Space Digitization, David A. Wendt, Noel A. Cressie, Gardar Johannesson
Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)
There are considerable difficulties in the integration, visualization, and overall management of battle-space information for the purpose of Command and Control (C2). One problem that we see as being important is the timely combination of digital information from multiple (possibly disparate) sources in a dynamically evolving environment. That is, there is a need to assimilate incoming data rapidly, so as to provide the battle commander with up-to-date knowledge about the battle-space and thereby to facilitate the command-decision process. In this paper, we present a spatial-temporal approach to obtaining accurate estimates of the constantly changing battlefield, based on noisy data from …
Identity At The Border: Narrative Strategies In María Novaro's El Jardín Del Edén And John Sayles's Lone Star , Amy Kaminsky
Identity At The Border: Narrative Strategies In María Novaro's El Jardín Del Edén And John Sayles's Lone Star , Amy Kaminsky
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
In María Novaro's El jardín del Edén and John Sayles's Lone Star, the narrative and visual art of film functions as ritual does: to make sense of the dangerous liminal space of the border. Novaro and Sayles both locate their protagonists' identity quests in the Mexico-U.S. borderlands, but they approach the problem from different directions: Sayles from the north, Novaro from the south; Sayles from the perspective of men in search of themselves through their fathers, Novaro from that of women in search of identity with the help of each other. With her focus on the stories of three …
Hybridity And The Space Of The Border In The Writing Of Norma Elia Cantú, Ellen Mccracken
Hybridity And The Space Of The Border In The Writing Of Norma Elia Cantú, Ellen Mccracken
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
The creative and scholarly writing of Norma Elia Cantú focuses centrally on the tensions of borders that are eroding yet firmly in place. Cantú's border pivots on the geographic space in which Mexico and the United States physically intersect, yet she probes at the same time several of the other tenuous cultural borders that postmodernity has brought into focus. Transcending distinctions between genres, languages, and cultures, Cantú undertakes innovative genre hybridity, visual-verbal hybridity, and the recombination of distinct cultural codes. Whether writing cultural criticism, autobioethnography, creative fiction, or poetry, Cantú locates herself at the intersection of the geographical and epistemological …
Calcium Metabolism Of Bone In Microgravity: An Investigation And Simulation Of Bone Demineralization In Space, Benjamin Peacock
Calcium Metabolism Of Bone In Microgravity: An Investigation And Simulation Of Bone Demineralization In Space, Benjamin Peacock
Honors Theses
Extended space exploration poses many physiological problems that must be overcome before humanity can reach past the boundaries of Earth's orbit. The farthest a human has been able to travel is to the moon and back, and currently astronauts are confined to orbiting the Earth. While many astronauts and cosmonauts have remained aboard the space station Mir for months, their stay was not without detrimental effects upon their return. Currently, the International Space Station and missions to Mars are the projects involving humans in space at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
In this experiment, a ground-based simulation utilizing …
