Context And Legacy Of The 1992 Perot Presidential Campaign, John Daly
Context And Legacy Of The 1992 Perot Presidential Campaign, John Daly
Senior Scholar Papers
American politics has traditionally been dominated by major parties and their candidates. Third party and independent candidates have rarely played more than a peripheral role in elections, and when they have, it has only been a transient phenomenon. Ross Perot's independent candidacy in the 1992 election was different. Perot was a significant part of the 1992 election, he overcame a number of the traditional barriers facing nonrnajor party candidates, and he received the second highest percentage of the popular vote of any nonmajor party candidate this century. Perot's continued involvement in American politics following the election has made him unique …
Children's Status And Children's Rights, Historically And Cross-Culturally, Kori Heavner
Children's Status And Children's Rights, Historically And Cross-Culturally, Kori Heavner
Senior Scholar Papers
In this thesis, my goal is to construct a vision of an ideal setting for children. By examining different ways of thinking about children and childhood, and by considering different approaches which have worked or do work practically, I will seek to envision something better for children. Trying to reach a better context for children will also include an inherent criticism of current conditions. Based on these criticisms, I will identify the elements that I believe can contribute to an ideal setting in which children can not only lead safe, healthy and happy lives, but also develop their own unique …
Dwelling In Possibility: Aestheticizing Identity In African American Women's Fiction, Whitney Glockner
Dwelling In Possibility: Aestheticizing Identity In African American Women's Fiction, Whitney Glockner
Senior Scholar Papers
African American women writers define aesthetics through their negotiation of identity in the politicized loci of space, place and voice. In the balkanization of such issues of voice and space, we can see the ways that the emergent selfis embodied and aestheticized in literature. To do so creates a more tactile and "artfull" representation of the self rather than a representation of identity as a mere abstract concept. To use written language to express the self is to carry processes of selfdefinition for black women into the realm of creative production. For women, especially black women, who are a politically …

A Catalyst For Culture: Early Child Development And Education In Japan, Kate Swenson
A Catalyst For Culture: Early Child Development And Education In Japan, Kate Swenson
Senior Scholar Papers
A popular Western perception of Japan is that it is an eminently homogeneous and conformist society. However, both conformity and homogeneity, recognized even by the Japanese themselves, coexist with the concept of individuality, which is valued in a manner unique to its culture. In order to come to a deeper understanding of that dynamic, it is important to comprehend the specifics of child rearing and education within Japanese society. Based in part on the author's observational fieldwork conducted while in Japan in 1994, the thesis explicates the manner in which various core relationships exhibit the socialization of an individual that …
Remote Marine Aerosol In The Gulf Of Maine: An Sem Study, Eric S. Gordon
Remote Marine Aerosol In The Gulf Of Maine: An Sem Study, Eric S. Gordon
Honors Theses
Eight aerosol samples were collected from a height of 34 meters atop Petit Manan Light located 16 miles East of Bar Harbor, Maine between July 25, 1995 and August 1, 1995. Both coarse and fine fractions were collected on 8.0 and 0.2 micron polycarbonate membrane filters, respectively. The sampling station consisted of a sampling box as well as a weather station (with various instruments) to record weather data for help in the analysis. The samples were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. Cluster analysis was perforned on the particles, grouping particles together with similar chemical …
Determination Of Wavelength Dependent Quantum Yields For Iron (Iii) Photoreduction In Well Defined Chloride Media, J. Catherine Kneece
Determination Of Wavelength Dependent Quantum Yields For Iron (Iii) Photoreduction In Well Defined Chloride Media, J. Catherine Kneece
Honors Theses
The quantum yields for iron (lII) photoreduction in sodium chloride and sodium perchlorate media were measured as a function of wavelength. The experiments were conducted using natural levels of total iron, less than 300 nM. The results indicate that three species are photochemically active in these media, Fe(OH)+2, FeCl2+and FeCl2+. The quantum yields for (OH)+2 are 0.22 at 300 run and 0.076 at 340 nm. The quantum yields for FeCl+ are 0.048 at 300 run and 0.038 at 340 nm. The quantum yields for FeCl2+ are 0.088 at 300 nm and 0.051 at 340 nm. The data presented suggests that …
Alternatives To Nitroprusside As Hypotensive Agents, Timothy Casey Mccullough
Alternatives To Nitroprusside As Hypotensive Agents, Timothy Casey Mccullough
Honors Theses
The drug sodium pentacyanonitrosylferrate(2-)dihydrate, more commonly known as nitroprusside or nipride (Fig. 1), is a common vasodilating agent given clinically to patients with hypertension.12.22 Nitroprusside is effective in emergency rooms as it quickly reduces high blood pressure, but dosages are limited because of fear that cyanide could be released also. Nitroprusside is effective because the vasodilating agent nitric oxide, NO, is released. Nitric oxide is also recognized as an important biochemical messenger molecule.22 Our research involves a search for different species that could introduce nitric oxide into the body without cyanide. Transition metal complexes involving ruthenium, iron, and cobalt that …
A Computational And Experimental Investigation Of The Pinacol Coupling And Rearrangement Reactions, Ryan Sullivan
A Computational And Experimental Investigation Of The Pinacol Coupling And Rearrangement Reactions, Ryan Sullivan
Honors Theses
This project was developed from previous reports concerned with the pinacol coupling and rearrangement methodologies. It is hoped that the results and conclusions of this study may provide someone in the future a chance to gain a more complete view of this material. Analysis of the pinacol coupling reaction shows that the yields of the pinacol products are not statistical for the asymmetric cycloalkanone systems. Also, the yields of the 5-7 and 6-7 systems plotted versus ab initio gas phase calculations of HOMG-LUMO gaps showed r values at or near 1.00. This correlation is excellent and offers an example of …
