Collision Of Boosted Black Holes, John Baker, Andrew Abrahams, Peter Anninos, Steve Brandt, Richard Price, Jorge Pullin, Edward Seidel
Faculty Publications
We study the radiation from a collision of black holes with equal and opposite linear momenta. Results are presented from a full numerical relativity treatment and are compared with the results from a “close-slow” approximation. The agreement is remarkable, and suggests several insights about the generation of gravitational radiation in black hole collisions. © 1997 The American Physical Society.

The Moral Atmosphere Of The Elementary School And The Question Of Gender., Suzanne Beauclair Roy
The Moral Atmosphere Of The Elementary School And The Question Of Gender., Suzanne Beauclair Roy
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the moral atmosphere of the elementary school and ask: How does the elementary school principal contribute to the moral atmosphere of the elementary school? In addition to this question, this study also explored the likenesses and differences between male principals and female principals in regard to the degree to which the principal practiced either an "ethic of care" or an "ethic of justice." Four case studies were constructed using data collected from observations and interviews that were conducted in four elementary schools. Also, two female principals and two male principals were …
The Counsel Group: Rhetorical And Political Contexts Of Court Counsel In "The Canterbury Tales"., Marc S. Guidry
The Counsel Group: Rhetorical And Political Contexts Of Court Counsel In "The Canterbury Tales"., Marc S. Guidry
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The Counsel Group: Rhetorical and Political Contexts of Court Counsel in The Canterbury Tales argues that counsel-taking is one of the most important themes in Chaucer's masterwork. Court counsel--which includes giving the ruler or lord political advice, making laws and treaties, and passing judicial sentence--was a major form of medieval discourse that recurs throughout Ricardian poetry. Indeed, the modern principle of consultative government has its roots in the medieval discourse of counsel and consent. As a diplomat in the service of Richard II, member of parliament, and acquaintance of several leading members of the king's council, Chaucer was well positioned …
Fit And Organizational Turnaround: An Examination Of The Performance Implications Of Strategy Content And Process Fit And Strategy And Cause Of Decline Fit., Christopher L. Shook
Fit And Organizational Turnaround: An Examination Of The Performance Implications Of Strategy Content And Process Fit And Strategy And Cause Of Decline Fit., Christopher L. Shook
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Generally, extant turnaround research has been inductively based and has limited its conceptualization of strategy to strategy content. This study builds on past research by incorporating strategy process and theoretically deriving the causes of decline. In general terms, this study posits that fit (consistency) between strategy process and content is critical to an organization's ability to recover from poor performance. Specifically, the following are considered consistent responses: (1) an entrepreneurial strategy with decentralized decision making and expanded information usage; and, (2) an efficiency strategy with centralized decision making and constricted information usage. Additionally, organizations need to fit their strategy to …
Created Works, Created Selves: Intersections Of Genre And Self-Fashioning In The New World., Leonard Joseph Vraniak Jr
Created Works, Created Selves: Intersections Of Genre And Self-Fashioning In The New World., Leonard Joseph Vraniak Jr
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
John Smith, Roger Williams, and Thomas Morton created images of themselves to attempt to gain position in the New World colonial undertaking, and each uses techniques of specific genres to bolter those images. However, each demonstrates a different degree of self-fashioning. John Smith collects and republishes texts much like Richard Hakluyt did back in England. However, Hakluyt's collections just reproduced texts, while Smith mixed others' writings about his colonial activities with his own work, creating a hybrid text with Smith as the subject. Smith's emphasis upon individual effort mirrors one level of humanistic achievement that Europeans of his era were …
Ambivalent Idylls: Hardy, Glasgow, Faulkner, And The Pastoral., Stephan Randall Toms
Ambivalent Idylls: Hardy, Glasgow, Faulkner, And The Pastoral., Stephan Randall Toms
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Thomas Hardy, Ellen Glasgow, and William Faulkner used the pastoral mode to show the contradictions, inconsistencies, and dangers in some forms of bucolic idyll. The ambivalence of their texts toward the rural world causes many critics to deny or overlook the presence of the pastoral mode in the work of these three novelists. A study of pastoral literature reveals that its characteristics have never been as fixed as many theorists would like to believe. Pastoral redefines, subverts, and reinvents itself as it interacts with different people, cultures, and languages. The theories of Mikhail Bakhtin help us to understand textual ambivalence …
An Empirical Analysis Of The Association Between The Intercompany Effects Of Electronic Data Interchange And The Level Of Computerization And Integration Of The Accounting Information System In Small Businesses., Maurice George Durler
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study investigates intercompany effects on the accounting information system (AIS) of small businesses when electronic data interchange (EDI) is implemented at the request of influential trading partners. The intercompany effects are examined by analyzing the association of the owner/manager's attitude toward computers, the owner/manager's perception that EDI was forced on the business, and the owner/manager's awareness of EDI benefits, with the level of AIS computerization and integration (AIS computerization). Two groups of hypotheses are proposed. The hypotheses in the first group assert that an association exists between the level of AIS computerization, the owner/manager's general computer attitude, and the …

Implementing Computer-Assisted Language Learning In An Esl Program Serving Adult Refugees From Vietnam: Findings From A Qualitative Case Study., Susan Mary Weishar
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This qualitative case study explored the implementation of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) in an ESL program serving adult refugees and immigrants from Vietnam. The case consisted of two sub-cases: implementation of CALL in the beginners' class and implementation of CALL in the advanced beginners' class. The investigation, which lasted 46 weeks, was intense and holistic. The researcher was also the administrator of the refugee program. The research methodology used was largely qualitative in design, so that an emic understanding of how the innovation impacted the actors and brought about change in the learning environment could be constructed. Quantitative research methods …

Optimization And Scale-Up Of Thiarubrine A Production From Hairy Root Cultures Of Ambrosia Artemisiifolia., Santosh G. Bhagwath
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Thiarubrine A (TA), a plant secondary metabolite synthesized by members of the family Asteraceae possesses antifungal and antiviral properties and is a potential pharmaceutical. The objective of the work was the optimization and scale-up of a bioprocess for the production of TA using hairy root cultures of Ambrosia artemisiifolia. At the inception of the work an established hairy root culture of the model system was used as inoculum in reactor experiments for the development of a protocol for the quantification of TA and in subsequent shake flask experiments to determine optimum culture conditions. TA accumulation closely paralleled growth and then …
Predictors Of Nonadherence Among Hiv-Infected Outpatients: Psychosocial And Medical Care Factors Associated With Appointment Attendance., Sheryl L. Catz
Predictors Of Nonadherence Among Hiv-Infected Outpatients: Psychosocial And Medical Care Factors Associated With Appointment Attendance., Sheryl L. Catz
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Nonadherence to medical regimens is a critical behavioral threat to the health of HIV-infected individuals. Patients cannot benefit from increasingly efficacious treatments for HIV/AIDs unless they adhere to them. Consistent medical care plays a central role in prolonging life and enhancing quality of life for these individuals. It is therefore essential to understand why many patients do not return reliably for medical services. However, little research has focused on the development of empirically based models of HIV-related nonadherence. Thus, the primary purpose of the present study was to identify factors predictive of HIV-related nonadherence to medical appointments. Demographic, medical care, …
Experimental Analysis Of Aggression., Bethany Ann Marcus
Experimental Analysis Of Aggression., Bethany Ann Marcus
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
In 1982, Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bauman, and Richman developed a systematic assessment method to identify the operant functions of self-injurious behavior. In this study, the Iwata et al., method was used to assess the operant functions of aggression displayed by children and adolescents with developmental disabilities. Although researchers have demonstrated that aggression serves operant functions, there has been no comprehensive analysis of aggression using the Iwata et al. method. Twelve children and adolescents participated. The experimental conditions from the Iwata et al. method were replicated (i.e., attention, instructional demand, play, no interaction); also, a tangible positive reinforcement condition was included …
Technology In The English Composition Classroom: Freshman Composition Students Using The Internet To Plan Assignments And Conduct Research., Michael Allen Mccord
Technology In The English Composition Classroom: Freshman Composition Students Using The Internet To Plan Assignments And Conduct Research., Michael Allen Mccord
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The use of computer and electronic communication and network technology is becoming increasingly important not only in society in general, but also in the college-level English composition classroom. These technologies amount to what some researchers term "multilayered literacies" or "new grammars." However, there have been few systematic studies of how students actually use these technologies. The current research presents a descriptive/naturalistic study of how students both learn and use the new electronic technologies as they accomplish research for, and respond to, a college-level writing assignment. This study examines the use of computers and networks by eight case study participants in …
An Integrated Gps-Gis Methodology For Performing Travel Time Studies., Cesar A. Quiroga
An Integrated Gps-Gis Methodology For Performing Travel Time Studies., Cesar A. Quiroga
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This dissertation describes a methodology for conducting travel time studies based on global positioning system (GPS) receivers and geographic information system (GIS) technology. Compared to traditional approaches, the new methodology provides consistency, automation, finer levels of resolution, and better accuracy in measuring travel time and speed. These characteristics enable the detection of localized traffic effects much more efficiently than with traditional techniques. The new methodology automates the data collection and data reduction procedures, and provides improved procedures for documenting and analyzing travel time and speed data. As a result, large amounts of reliable travel time and speed data can be …
The Third Way: A Study Of Economic Justice In The Writings Of Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul Ii)., Woodard King Mott Jr
The Third Way: A Study Of Economic Justice In The Writings Of Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul Ii)., Woodard King Mott Jr
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Pope John Paul II, born Karol Wojtyla, has written extensively about the human person and how that person acts in the world. Beginning with Wojtyla's doctoral dissertation presented at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas on the Catholic mystic St. John of the Cross and continuing through the most recent best seller, Crossing the Threshold of Hope, Christian personalism has pervaded Wojtyla's writings, encyclicals, and public utterances. Wojtyla's perspective on economic justice, as shaped by his Christian personalism, is the subject of this dissertation. A systematic investigation of Wojtyla's theory of economic justice reveals a third way of economic …
Developing And Field Testing Design Parameters For Customizing Agricultural Extension Education Systems In Developing Countries., Michael Brian Peter Sager
Developing And Field Testing Design Parameters For Customizing Agricultural Extension Education Systems In Developing Countries., Michael Brian Peter Sager
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Increasingly, developing countries view the partnership of research, education, and extension in traditional agricultural extension education systems as an adaptable model for improving their agrarian economies. The process of adaptation, however, has too often followed the traditional developmental project approach and been little more than the transplantation of a predefined extension education model into a developing country with little regard to existing country specific factors which impact the effectiveness of a domestic extension system. As a result, less than satisfactory technology transfer has occurred and slow rates of agricultural economic development have been posted, painting a disappointing record for agricultural …
Nursing Fathers: American Colonists' Conception Of English Protestant Kingship., Benjamin Lewis Price
Nursing Fathers: American Colonists' Conception Of English Protestant Kingship., Benjamin Lewis Price
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This dissertation traces the development of the concept of English Protestant kingship within the political culture of colonial America from the Glorious Revolution of 1688 to the beginning of the American Revolution. It is meant to illustrate the place of British kings within the structure and ideology of American colonial politics and society during that period. It illustrates Americans' understanding of the protection-allegiance relationship between English Protestant kings, especially the first two Hanoverian monarchs, and their subjects in the provinces of North America. This study also explores the language of Whig political discourse with its two primary "dialects" of Court …
Coupled Field Equations For Saturated Soils And Its Application To Piezocone Penetration And Shield Tunneling., Murad Yusuf Abu-Farsakh
Coupled Field Equations For Saturated Soils And Its Application To Piezocone Penetration And Shield Tunneling., Murad Yusuf Abu-Farsakh
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
An elasto-plastic coupled system of equations are formulated here in order to describe the time-dependent deformation of saturated cohesive soils. Formulation of these equations is based on the principle of virtual work and the theory of mixtures for inelastic porous media as proposed by Prevost (1980) and Kiousis and Voyiadjis (1988). The saturated soil is considered as a mixture consisting of two deformable media, the solid grains and the water. Each medium is regarded as a continuum and follows its own motion. The coupled equations are developed for large deformations with finite strains in an updated Lagrangian reference frame. The …
Development And Implementation Of The Body Logic Program For Adolescents: A Primary Prevention Program For Eating Disorders., Paula Jonniece Varnado
Development And Implementation Of The Body Logic Program For Adolescents: A Primary Prevention Program For Eating Disorders., Paula Jonniece Varnado
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Eating disorder symptoms such as feelings of fatness, restrictive eating and purgative behaviors are observed in many children and adolescents. These feelings and behaviors, may, in some adolescents lead to the development of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. A recent series of studies has identified risk factors for the development of eating disorder behaviors in children and adolescents. These risk factors include overconcern with physical appearance, negative evaluation of physical appearance, social pressure for thinness, higher weight level, depression, and body dysphoria. It has been hypothesized that targeting adolescents who are at risk for developing an eating disorder may result …
Technical Training Program Evaluation: Present Practices In United States' Business And Industry., Skip Twitchell
Technical Training Program Evaluation: Present Practices In United States' Business And Industry., Skip Twitchell
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
There is a lack of information on training evaluation. For those studies addressing the amount of evaluation that occurs and in which samples can be identified, the samples are non-random. There have been very few reports on the methods used for evaluation or the reasons why there is so little evaluation. This study used a random sample selected from members of the ASTD professional practice area titled, Technical and Skills Trainers. It can be argued that this is an informed sample involved in a training area that produces objective outcomes and should produce a favorable picture of training evaluation. Questions …

The study was conducted statewide, in Louisiana, with a selected sample Extension agents and clientele representing the two major cotton-producing areas of the state. The data was obtained through six focus group interviews. Standard methodology for qualitative data was used in the analysis. Four focus group interviews involved cotton advisory committee members, and two involved Extension agents. Nineteen Louisiana parishes were targeted in the study. Study conclusions included the following: (a) advisory committees strongly influence decision …
Examination Of Behavior Problems In Hiv-Infected Toddlers: The Role Of Maternal Factors., Jennifer L. Hoover
Examination Of Behavior Problems In Hiv-Infected Toddlers: The Role Of Maternal Factors., Jennifer L. Hoover
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The present study investigated the frequency and intensity of behavior problems exhibited by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected toddlers ages 16 to 40 months by comparing them to HIV-exposed toddlers, toddlers at risk for development delays, and healthy toddlers. The role of maternal factors, such as depression, insularity, and stress, in behavior ratings also was considered. Mothers completed a set of questionnaires and the toddlers' developmental status was assessed by a member of the research team. It was hypothesized that HIV-infected children would demonstrate a higher frequency and intensity of behavior problems than children in the three equivalent control groups. With …
The Development Of Behavioral And Emotional Self-Regulation During The Preschool Period., Maria D. Kalpidou
The Development Of Behavioral And Emotional Self-Regulation During The Preschool Period., Maria D. Kalpidou
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The study investigates age-related changes in behavioral and emotional self-regulation during the preschool period and the relationship between them. Behavioral self-regulation was measured by compliance without external monitors. Emotional self-regulation was measured by the expressed control of emotions and coping strategies. Eighty-eight preschoolers (45 5-year-olds; 43 3-year-olds) participated in a compliance-delay task. They were left alone for 10 min (self-regulated compliance) to sort cutlery in the presence of toys. The demand for emotional self-regulation was manipulated by hiding (low demand) or exposing (high demand) the toys. Children experienced both sessions. All procedures were video-taped. The expressed emotional comfort during the …
The Terminology Of Composition Studies: A Historical Approach., Kimberly Lynn Harrison
The Terminology Of Composition Studies: A Historical Approach., Kimberly Lynn Harrison
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Recently, composition scholars have shown interest in examining their own language. My study furthers this interest by providing a historical analysis of the terminology commonly used in composition studies. The historical focus allows an analysis of how our vocabulary has changed in relation to specific schools of thought in composition studies, thus encouraging an awareness of the influence of context--professional, institutional, cultural, and personal--on the scholarship in composition studies. Such influences, I argue, are often ignored to the detriment of our discipline. Chapter one further explains the scope and purpose of my study. Chapters two and three analyze in-depth two …
Prodigal Daughters And Pilgrims In Petticoats: Grace Greenwood And The Tradition Of American Women's Travel Writing., Paula Kathryn Garrett
Prodigal Daughters And Pilgrims In Petticoats: Grace Greenwood And The Tradition Of American Women's Travel Writing., Paula Kathryn Garrett
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Recovering a forgotten woman writer from the nineteenth century, Prodigal Daughters and Pilgrims in Petticoats: Grace Greenwood and the Tradition of American Women's Travel Writing focuses on the public letters of Grace Greenwood (Sara Jane Clarke Lippincott). In the 1870s, Greenwood successfully communicated feminist ideas as the first woman employed by the New York Times and one of the first women to enter Congressional press galleries. In her letters, often on the front-page of the paper, Greenwood addresses the major woman's rights issues of the time: equal pay, coverture laws, male violence, gender restrictions, educational opportunities, and woman's suffrage. This …
The Composition Of Politics: Creativity In The Political Thought Of Simone Weil And Albert Camus., John Randolph Leblanc
The Composition Of Politics: Creativity In The Political Thought Of Simone Weil And Albert Camus., John Randolph Leblanc
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This essay traces the critical development of the idea of creativity through the intellectual relationship of Simone Weil and Albert Camus. Members of the French Resistance during the Second World War, Camus and Weil never met. Camus became enamored of her work after her death and is largely responsible for its publication. Camus recognized in Weil a markedly distinct, but kindred, spirit. Despite the apparent conflict between her Christian mysticism and his existential orientation, they both sought the preservation of the specifically human in a world which, in valuing a mechanistic form of reason, tended to objectify the human. Their …
Toward Prescriptive Alternatives To Secondary School Suspensions: Risk Analysis Using An Epidemiologic Approach., Cynthia P. Morgan-D'Atrio
Toward Prescriptive Alternatives To Secondary School Suspensions: Risk Analysis Using An Epidemiologic Approach., Cynthia P. Morgan-D'Atrio
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Data were collected from a large urban high school in order to investigate the characteristics of students who get suspended. Descriptive, epidemiologic analyses, and multivariate statistical analyses were used to investigate which, if any of several screening variables were most likely to predict secondary school suspensions for 9th grade students. Because multivariate statistics may be tedious for many to interpret, epidemiologic analyses were used in order to more easily disseminate study findings to readers and those within the school setting. For males, statistics were calculated for three groups of students: (1) males having more than one 9th grade suspension, (2) …
