Ethnic Identity, Acculturation Attitudes And Self-Esteem In Rural High School Students, Concetta Posella
Ethnic Identity, Acculturation Attitudes And Self-Esteem In Rural High School Students, Concetta Posella
Theses
The current study used questionnaires in order to survey a sample of rural high school students regarding their self-esteem, attitudes toward acculturation, and their sense of ethnic identity. Students' ratings of self-esteem were not related to their sense of ethnic or racial identity nor their generational status, or how far removed they are from their cultural background. However, when acculturation attitudes were examined, the results were somewhat unexpected. The students who endorsed integration, or the idea that immigrants should both maintain their cultural traditions and try to adapt to their new culture, reported higher levels of self-esteem and identified themselves …

The Zlab Color Appearance Model For Practical Image Reproduction Applications, Mark Fairchild
The Zlab Color Appearance Model For Practical Image Reproduction Applications, Mark Fairchild
Presentations and other scholarship
At its May, 1997 meeting in Kyoto, CIE TC1-34 considered 4 proposed color appearance models for adoption as the CIECAM97s model. The ZLAB model was one of those considered. Although it was rejected by TC1-34 because of its simplicity, there are many situations (such as typical crossmedia image reproduction) for which a more complex model might not be necessary, or even useful. Thus, the ZLAB model is being published as a simpler alternative to CIECAM97s that retains many of its positive features.
A Homage To Beethoven Piano Concerto No.5 "Emperor", Young-Ji Shin
A Homage To Beethoven Piano Concerto No.5 "Emperor", Young-Ji Shin
Theses
The purpose of this thesis is to explore my personal experience with the reciprocal relationships of the various fields of art. The media of art includes the fine arts, crafts, visual arts, theater, film, music, dance and literature - all genres commonly considered "the arts." These different fields are not isolated in and of themselves but rather have mutual connections amongst them. This thesis elucidates my concept of art as one. A vague fondness for the arts drew me to the Seoul Arts High School in 1987. I had a broad interest in art in general, and did not limit …
Chinese Characters As Sources Of Design Of Furniture, Han-Lim Wee
Chinese Characters As Sources Of Design Of Furniture, Han-Lim Wee
Theses
This thesis is an exploration of possibilities of the translation of Chinese characters into furniture. It is not just the two dimensional image of the character that I wish to interpret into three dimensions, but I intend that the functions and uses of the furniture are to be the meaning of the word. The final pieces are intended to be recognized as to their meaning by anyone literate in Chinese character forms. Furniture that has both form and meaning will create new possibilities for furniture's role in the environment by having this extra dimension.
Molecular & Physical Characterization Of Threonine Dehydrogenase From Serratia Marcescens, Michael Wetherell
Molecular & Physical Characterization Of Threonine Dehydrogenase From Serratia Marcescens, Michael Wetherell
Theses
Threonine dehydrogenase has been purified from Serretia marcescens 450 fold to obtain 1300 micrograms of enzyme from 15 grams of cells. The amino-terminus has been sequenced and places it in a class with medium chain alcohol dehydrogenases from both Z.mobilus and E.coli. The native enzyme is a dimer of 35.6 kD sub-units containing approximately 324 amino acids. The gene structure of the enzyme is dissimilar from that of the E.coli TDH and may represent a mutation of an alcohol dehydrogenase with possible preference to propanol.
Chromatographic Methods Development For The Charcterization Of Phytopharaceutical Materials, Melanie Levesque
Chromatographic Methods Development For The Charcterization Of Phytopharaceutical Materials, Melanie Levesque
Theses
The increased popularity of alternative medicine treatments has prompted resurgence in the use of traditional herbal remedies. Among this vast number of herbs, ginseng is purchased by a considerable number of consumers; especially three species: Panax ginseng, Panax quinquefolium, and Eleutherococcus senticosus. Many of the physiological effects claimed by ginseng manufacturers tend to mimic those of central nervous system stimulants. This led to the purpose of this research, which was to develop an HPLC chromatographic method in order to determine if any specific CNS stimulants are within ginseng supplements. Specifically we found a series of CNS stimulants, methylxanthines (caffeine, theophylline, …

Characterization Of Kapton Polymer Containing An Inorganic Additive, Juan Betancourt
Characterization Of Kapton Polymer Containing An Inorganic Additive, Juan Betancourt
Theses
With a full space program in progress, new types of materials are needed for spacecraft construction. These materials need to be strong, have good thermal stability and be good insulators. One of the materials with these properties is Kapton, manufactured by Dupont. Being a polyimide, it provides these characteristics, and being quite stable to ultraviolet light makes it the best of its kind for space use. The only concern is that, at the altitudes where earth observing spacecrafts orbit the earth, high concentrations of monoatomic oxygen (AO) react with the organic material and produce CO and H20. In an attempt …

Towards A Reconstructive Feminism: Reconstructing The Relationship Of Market Work And Family Work, Joan Williams
Towards A Reconstructive Feminism: Reconstructing The Relationship Of Market Work And Family Work, Joan Williams
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This article traces the separation of the work and family spheres, arising in the nineteenth century, and how this separation into traditionally male and female areas has affected women's "choice" to stay home and rear children, or to participate in the workforce. This article explains how women often fail to achieve the ideal-worker norm because of the demands on their time created by childrearing. The author ends by discussing the shortcomings of the classic strategy feminists have proposed to change domesticity's ordering of family and market work and suggests a new paradigm, called "reconstructive feminism," which eliminates the ideal-worker norm …

Symposium: Work And Family Introduction, Lorraine Schmall
Northern Illinois University Law Review
Work and family problems seem as numerous, and as difficult to deal with as our children. Invidious discrimination, inadequate laws, intra-family dissension all contribute to our woes. But the dialogue has begun, and problem-solving cannot be too far behind.
A Study Of Water Pick-Up Rates And Their Effects On Ink Rheology, Ink Strength, Ink Dryback And Ink Rub-Off, Richard Wright
A Study Of Water Pick-Up Rates And Their Effects On Ink Rheology, Ink Strength, Ink Dryback And Ink Rub-Off, Richard Wright
Theses
It has been thought that the water pick-up rate and capacity of an ink may have a profound affect on the press performance of an ink. As the water content of ink changes so do the Theological characteristics of the ink and this effects ink performance attributes such as ink transfer, drying , rub resistance, set-off and strength. An emulsification curve can shed some light on how ink might perform on a press but this alone is not enough. The objective of this thesis research was to study the interaction of fountain solution and ink as used in the printing …

Study Of Microwave Annealing Effects On Polymer Crystallization, Junmei Ji
Study Of Microwave Annealing Effects On Polymer Crystallization, Junmei Ji
Theses
In this project, the effect of melt annealing on the crystallization of poly(ethylene oxide), (PEO), was studied by comparing thermal annealing to microwave annealing. After the subsequent controlled crystallization, the crystalline morphology of films was characterized by Polarizing Light Microscopy (PLM); the melting curves for both films and bulk samples were measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). These measurements revealed significant differences between microwave and thermally annealed samples. We propose that microwave annealing has a "quantum on polymer crystallization. The difference in morphology cannot be explained by a change in the temperature profile of the two annealing methods. By investigating …
The Study Of Circumannular Orbital Interactions In The Imine Derivatives Of 2,2,4,4-Tetramethyl-1,3-Cyclobutanedione, Arati Naik
Theses
The title compounds possess unusual orbital interactions. A p-pi type interaction which incorporates both a transannular and circumannular component and a non-bonding circumannular interaction from the lone electron pairs on the opposite ends of the ring interacting via the ring carbon p-orbitals of proper symmetry. Variable temperature NMR was employed to examine the effect of the non-bonding interaction of inversion through nitrogen on the imine chromophore. A plot of In k vs 1/T allowed for the determination of Ea from the slope and the free energy of activation AG was calculated from the coalescence temperature. The magnitude of long range …

The Effects Of The Architectural Design, Replacement Algorithm, And Size Parameters Of Cache Memory In Uniprocessor Computer Systems, Eric Berzofsky
The Effects Of The Architectural Design, Replacement Algorithm, And Size Parameters Of Cache Memory In Uniprocessor Computer Systems, Eric Berzofsky
Theses
To investigate the effects of cache coherency on multiprocessors, it is helpful to first explore coherency issues within uniprocessors, working with a small part of a big problem instead of attacking the big problem from the start. This thesis will investigate the design and implementation of three different cache designs, varying the mapping strategy, replacement algorithm, and size parameters to determine the effects each have on the cache miss ratio, coherency, and average memory access time. VHDL is used to create software models of each cache design investigated, so that parameter values can be easily changed, and so that no …
