"Rag-Tag And Bob-Ends Of Old Stories": Biblical Intertextuality In Faulkner, Hurston, Wright, And O'Connor., Timothy Paul Caron Jan 1994

"Rag-Tag And Bob-Ends Of Old Stories": Biblical Intertextuality In Faulkner, Hurston, Wright, And O'Connor., Timothy Paul Caron

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Liqht in August, Moses, Man of the Mountain, Uncle Tom's Children, and Wise Blood all borrow from the South's religious traditions. Recognizing the authority given to the Book, Faulkner, Hurston, Wright, and O'Connor invoke and re-read its central stories, characters, and tropes in order to voice their individual contributions to the South's intra-cultural conversation on race. In various ways, each work claims the necessity of the South to revitalize its practice of biblical interpretation. All of these texts comment upon the South's racial struggles over exactly how the Bible was to be interpreted: is it a book to aid in …

Neogene Extension And Regional Rotation Of The Central Mojave Desert, California., Timothy Michael Ross Jan 1994

Neogene Extension And Regional Rotation Of The Central Mojave Desert, California., Timothy Michael Ross

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The southwest Cady Mountains of San Bernardino County, California, contain key relationships which allow separation of the timing of early Miocene detachment-style extension and vertical-axis clockwise rotation in the Mojave Desert. The rock succession consists of a pre-Tertiary granitic basement overlain by three successive volcanic and volcaniclastic units of early to middle Miocene age referred to informally as the formation of Poe, the formation of Troy Peak and the "Barstow Formation". Deposition of the volcanic upper Oligocene/lower Miocene formation of Poe was accompanied by extension and tilting, facilitated by faults which do not cut the unconformably overlying formation of Troy …

Literature Of Protest: The Franco Years., Margaret Carmell Gonzalez Jan 1994

Literature Of Protest: The Franco Years., Margaret Carmell Gonzalez

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study examines the relationship between Spanish literature and political opposition under the Franco regime. Chapter 1 introduces the concept of a political discourse that characterizes a historical era, specifically addressing that of the Franco era in Spain. Directly linked to the idea of a political discourse is the theory of a literary generation, united by the common experiences or characteristics of a specific time period, such as those of the Franco regime. Together, these two concepts helped establish a foundation for the transition to democracy in Spain. Chapter 2 discusses the mythic foundations of Spanish culture in general, and …

A Rhetorical Analysis Of Selected Pro-Slavery Sermons By Presbyterian Clergy In The Antebellum South., Russell Pepper Dill Jan 1994

A Rhetorical Analysis Of Selected Pro-Slavery Sermons By Presbyterian Clergy In The Antebellum South., Russell Pepper Dill

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study investigated the pro-slavery rhetoric of selected Presbyterian ministers in the antebellum South from 1843 to 1861. The first half of the Nineteenth Century was marked by significant social, political, and religious events to which Southern Evangelical Protestantism (i.e., Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians) was forced to respond. Representative of Southern Evangelical Protestantism, Presbyterian clergy had a reputation for education, influence, and pulpit eloquence. As evidence of their puissance and persuasion, the sermons in this study were circulated in print, most of them at the request of the local communities and newspapers of the day. A synthesis of two methodologies …

Temporal And Synoptic Analyses Of Heavy Rainfall In The Southeastern United States., Barry David Keim Jan 1994

Temporal And Synoptic Analyses Of Heavy Rainfall In The Southeastern United States., Barry David Keim

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The abundance of recent heavy rainstorms in the southeastern United States has raised concerns that excessive rainstorms may be increasing in frequency and magnitude across the region. For this reason, the heavy rainfall climatology was examined to determine whether long-term trends exist within the historic climate record. In addition, the synoptic conditions leading to these events were examined. The synoptic weather patterns that generated storm events over a 75 mm (3 inches) threshold were classified using an all-inclusive manual weather typing system. Heavy rainfall events in the region were generated primarily by frontal weather systems (79 percent) followed by tropical …

Employer Recruitment And Job Matching Theories: The Effects Of Informal Recruiting Practices On Racial And Gender Job Composition., Frederick Carson Mencken Jan 1994

Employer Recruitment And Job Matching Theories: The Effects Of Informal Recruiting Practices On Racial And Gender Job Composition., Frederick Carson Mencken

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation analyzes the effects of employer recruiting practices on the gender and racial composition of jobs. Using the Metropolitan Employer-Employee Survey, I examine how the structural characteristics of organizations, occupations, industries and jobs affect the manner in which employers recruit for certain vacancies. The results show that employers use informal recruitment techniques, such as recruitment through professional colleagues and business associates, to recruit for executive/managerial, professional and other white-collar occupations. Employers use formal recruiting techniques for jobs in large establishments, in government agencies, and lower-level white-collar jobs. The dissertation addresses the link between recruitment practices and the gender and …

The Stylistic Mechanics Of Implicitness: Entailment, Presupposition, And Implicature In The Work Of Ernest Hemingway And Tim O'Brien., Donna Glee Williams Jan 1994

The Stylistic Mechanics Of Implicitness: Entailment, Presupposition, And Implicature In The Work Of Ernest Hemingway And Tim O'Brien., Donna Glee Williams

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The discipline of linguistics has identified three patterns through which unstated information may be conveyed: entailment, presupposition, and implicature. Using these theoretical constructs, analysts may determine systematically how propositions which are never asserted may nonetheless be communicated. In the old writers' maxim "Show me; don't tell me," "showing" corresponds to implicit communication of unstated material, while "telling" corresponds to the overt assertion of the proposition of interest. Examination of texts by Hemingway and O'Brien reveals carefully controlled use of the linguistic strategies of implicitness to suspend meaning between and behind the fixed points of the words on the page. This …

The Development Of Bridge Inspection Strategies Based On A Statistical Analysis Of Deterioration In Underwater Structures., Mark Deymond Fugler Jan 1994

The Development Of Bridge Inspection Strategies Based On A Statistical Analysis Of Deterioration In Underwater Structures., Mark Deymond Fugler

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A comprehensive statistical analysis was performed on the condition data generated by a statewide underwater inspection of bridges in Louisiana. The research defined pertinent underwater structural decay characteristics and established a method for establishing a bridge's propensity for underwater deterioration based upon those relevant factors. The inspection results were reviewed to ascertain the impact of human-bias on the consistency in the bridge condition ratings. Using a set of importance factors obtained through a questionnaire submitted to a group of inspectors, the fuzzy set theory was employed to assist in the removal of data incongruities. A combination of pure fuzzy set …

Nurturing In The Novels Of Fanny Burney, Ann Radcliffe, And Ellen Price Wood., Sarah Domingue Spence Jan 1994

Nurturing In The Novels Of Fanny Burney, Ann Radcliffe, And Ellen Price Wood., Sarah Domingue Spence

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Employing attachment theory of contemporary psychology, I explore nurturing in the novels of Fanny Burney, Ann Radcliffe, and Ellen Price Wood. The heroines' need for nurturing manifests itself in diverse aspects of the genre. In the mother's absence, various attachment figures, such as guardians, surrogate mothers, sister/friend relationships serve as nurturer. In Fanny Burney's novels, Evelina, Cecilia, and The Wanderer, fortune and a family name become important societal goals. Joyce Hemlow's and Margaret Doody's works supply criticism and biographical data. In Radcliffe's Gothic novels, The Mysteries of Udolpho, and The Italian, the heroines' attachment bond is analyzed using Ellen Moers' …

An Investigation Of Behavior Problems Of Children With Down Syndrome And Their Relationship To Life Events., David Alan Coe Jan 1994

An Investigation Of Behavior Problems Of Children With Down Syndrome And Their Relationship To Life Events., David Alan Coe

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Behavior problems of 44 children with Down Syndrome between the ages of 6 and 15 and 44 controls without mental retardation matched for age, sex and socioeconomic status were compared by means of mother and teacher ratings. Ratings from both sources indicated that children with Down Syndrome had more behavior problems, in particular attention deficit, noncompliance, thought disorder and social withdrawal. Thirty one percent of these children were identified by mothers as having a significant behavior problem compared with 58% of those rated by teachers. In both cases, Down Syndrome behavior problem prevalence exceeded that for controls by a three …

Factors Affecting Intended Self-Referral To An Employee Assistance Program., Paul Richard Damiano Jan 1994

Factors Affecting Intended Self-Referral To An Employee Assistance Program., Paul Richard Damiano

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Using data from 256 subjects from three organizations which all had employee assistance programs (EAP), this study explored factors hypothesized to affect the likelihood for employees to self-refer to the EAP. Using both correlational data and a 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 repeated measures ANOVA, it was found that perceived confidentiality, reputation of the program, perceived problem seriousness, and type of problem (job, financial, health, psychological, or relationship) were significantly related to the intent to self-refer. There was also evidence that perceived controllability of the problem and a job performance decrement influenced the propensity to self-refer. An additional …

The Effect Of Time Pressure On Auditor Attention To Red Flags In A Dual-Task Environment., Robert Lance Braun Jan 1994

The Effect Of Time Pressure On Auditor Attention To Red Flags In A Dual-Task Environment., Robert Lance Braun

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Motivated by recent attention given to the independent auditor's role in detecting red flags, this dissertation investigates the effect of time pressure on auditors' attention to red flags in the auditing environment. In so doing, the earlier work of McDaniel (1990) investigating the effects of time pressure on the auditor's ability to execute auditing tests of details is extended. Authoritative sources indicating that red flag detection is performed as a subsidiary task in a multi-task auditing environment are presented. The Easterbrook hypothesis, which holds that a progressive reduction in the range of cue utilization accompanies increases in arousal, provides theoretical …

Effects Of Threat-Related Emotional Information In A Lexical Decision Task: Examination Of Cognitive And Motor Performance., Sheryl Rene Jackson Jan 1994

Effects Of Threat-Related Emotional Information In A Lexical Decision Task: Examination Of Cognitive And Motor Performance., Sheryl Rene Jackson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Recently, attention has been given to the cognitive processing of aversive emotional, or threat-related, information. Although investigations have often focused on anxiety disordered individuals, it is suggested that examination of "normal" individuals with varying levels of anxiety will increase the understanding of the cognitive processing of aversive emotional, or threat-related, information. It has been hypothesized that high anxious individuals exhibit an attentional bias toward threat-related emotional information. The response of low anxious individuals to threat-related information is unclear. Some evidence suggests that non-anxiety disordered individuals employ a mechanism that inhibits or interferes with the processing of threat-related, emotional information. The …

Teachers' Perceptions Of Principal Style And Sense Of Autonomy In Differentially Effective Schools., Corinne Falterman Hebert Jan 1994

Teachers' Perceptions Of Principal Style And Sense Of Autonomy In Differentially Effective Schools., Corinne Falterman Hebert

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study was threefold. Phase I involved a reconstruction of the Change Facilitator Style of Principal (CFSP) instrument developed by Bost and Ruch (1986). Phase II was an ex post facto study that investigated teachers' perceptions of their principals' change facilitator style and of their autonomy, and Phase III encompassed the collection of qualitative data. The questionnaire originally developed by Bost and Ruch (1985) had some inadequate psychometric properties. These inadequacies were uncovered and further explored by examining the frequency distributions of the items from a previous study, and by conducting a construct validation of the instrument. …

La Reconstruction De La Memoire Et Le Traumatisme De La Guerre Dans Le Roman Francais., Frederic Marie Pallez Jan 1994

La Reconstruction De La Memoire Et Le Traumatisme De La Guerre Dans Le Roman Francais., Frederic Marie Pallez

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The strategy used in the understanding of war and the process of writing are identical: each implies a will to comprehend the situation at hand and a failure to dominate it completely. Among the "resistances" that tend to challenge the representation of war are the psychoanalytical notions of Repetition Compulsion and of Overdetermination. In the text both display symptoms of the writer's trauma after his actual or vicarious participation in conflict. The experience of war as a disturbance of the psyche can be read in both personal and collective memory, This tendency to sublimate the trauma of war through group …

Strategic Issue Interpretation And Response In The Restaurant Industry., Scott David Julian Jan 1994

Strategic Issue Interpretation And Response In The Restaurant Industry., Scott David Julian

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation presents a model of strategic issue management that focuses on the mediational role that interpretation has between monitoring and scanning the environment and organizational response. Hypotheses concerning the relationships between several dimensions of issue interpretation and several dimensions of organizational issue response are posited. The strategic issue of consumer nutrition awareness within the restaurant industry is targeted, and a research methodology constructed for testing the hypotheses. Urgency, Understanding, and Capability all had significant relationships with the response variables of Magnitude, Locus, and Activeness, with Understanding's relationship tending to be curvilinear. No variables had a significant effect on Immediacy, …

Production Capabilities And Economic Potential Of An Australian Redclaw Crayfish (Cherax Quadricarinatus) Hatchery In The United States., Paul Boyce Medley Jan 1994

Production Capabilities And Economic Potential Of An Australian Redclaw Crayfish (Cherax Quadricarinatus) Hatchery In The United States., Paul Boyce Medley

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

In most of the United States, overwintering redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) is necessary because they cannot withstand winter temperatures. Consequently, hatcheries are required to produce juveniles for pond stocking. The objectives of this study were: (1) identify biological factors affecting production of juvenile redclaw, (2) determine production capabilities of a redclaw crayfish hatchery, and (3) determine the economic potential of redclaw hatcheries. Experiments were designed to assess fecundity and factors influencing spawning such as stocking density, male/female weight, diet, mortality, and cannibalism. Research was also conducted to determine egg development time, hatching success, and juvenile growth and survival. Pooled survival …

Control Of One Percent Yield Offset In Reaction Injection Molding., Samuel Mills Peebles Jan 1994

Control Of One Percent Yield Offset In Reaction Injection Molding., Samuel Mills Peebles

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Reaction Injection Molding produces parts that must meet property specifications to be useful. For example a car bumper must have a high impact strength to prevent the car from being damaged during a collision. This research presents a control algorithm that can be implemented to control the part properties of reaction injection molded parts. The part property need not be measurable on line if the property is affected by the reaction conditions within the mold. This is an important feature of the algorithm since many important properties, such as yield strength, cannot be measured without destroying the part. The algorithm …

The Information Content Of Dividend Initiations., Yangpin Shen Jan 1994

The Information Content Of Dividend Initiations., Yangpin Shen

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this dissertation is to reexamine the dividend information hypothesis and to provide additional evidence on the nature of the information revealed by dividend initiations. Evidence on (1) announcing firms' stock price reactions, (2) analyst earnings forecast revisions for announcing firms, (3) rivals' stock price reactions, and (4) analyst earnings forecast revisions for rivals will be presented. On average, the stock market reacts positively to the announcement of dividend initiations and the degree of this reaction can be significantly explained by three information proxies: dividend yield, firm size, and trading volume. Moreover, I find that dividend initiation announcement …

There's No Place Like Home: An Analysis Of The Rhetoric Of Homelessness In A Judicial Opinion, An Advocate's Congressional Testimony, And Testimonial Narratives By The Homeless., Niki L. Young Jan 1994

There's No Place Like Home: An Analysis Of The Rhetoric Of Homelessness In A Judicial Opinion, An Advocate's Congressional Testimony, And Testimonial Narratives By The Homeless., Niki L. Young

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The central question this dissertation seeks to answer is: What does homelessness mean, and how is that meaning rhetorically constructed? What homelessness means is not fixed nor static, but varies with use. To discover and develop these different meanings, three sets of data were examined: a judicial opinion, an advocate's congressional testimony, and testimonial narratives by the homeless. This data includes rhetoric produced from three distinct points of view--one that is sympathetic to the homeless, one that is hostile to the homeless, and one that has experienced homelessness. A Burkean methodology was employed, supplemented, where appropriate, with insights from postmodern …

Sedimentation Processes In Selected Coastal Wetlands From The Gulf Of Mexico And Northern Europe., John Charles Callaway Jan 1994

Sedimentation Processes In Selected Coastal Wetlands From The Gulf Of Mexico And Northern Europe., John Charles Callaway

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Sediment cores were collected from coastal wetlands from the Gulf coast of North America and northern Europe to study accretion rates and heavy metal accumulation. There was a significant decrease in vertical accretion rates from low to high marsh for Gulf coast samples. Contrary to previous results, these low tidal range sites did not have negative accretion balances. Northern European samples demonstrated the utility of Chernobyl $\sp{137}$Cs as a sediment marker. There were large differences in sediment characteristics and accretion rates between Polish and western European samples. Vertical accretion rates based on $\sp{210}$Pb were lower than $\sp{137}$Cs rates for most …
