A Rules Based Approach To Analyze Data Dependent Transformation Strategies Of A Supercompiler For Parallel Computers., James Woodson Mcguffee Jan 1994

A Rules Based Approach To Analyze Data Dependent Transformation Strategies Of A Supercompiler For Parallel Computers., James Woodson Mcguffee

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A supercompiler is a program that attempts to automatically restructure serial code into an equivalent parallel form. This restructuring is achieved through the application of various transformation strategies designed to remove data dependences. A data dependence is a relation between two programming statements that prevent those two statements from being executed in parallel. This research develops a rules based system to analyze the various data dependent transformation strategies of a supercompiler for parallel computers. With the information obtained from user input and the automated analysis of a program segment, this rules based analysis will be able to determine which of …

Measuring And Linking School Professional Learning Environment Characteristics, Teacher Self And Organizational Efficacy, Receptivity To Change, And Multiple Indices Of School Effectiveness., Karen S. Loup

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

During the past two decades, several important lines of inquiry have been developed to study the complex organizational and learning environment features of schools. In addition, researchers, theorists and educational policy makers have become increasingly concerned about educational reform and change, and with establishing linkages between educational improvement efforts and the effectiveness of schools. The extant school effectiveness and effects literatures have primarily focused on student achievement as the school outcome/productivity variable of concern. Alternatively, the literature on the study of schools as organizations has primarily focused on the measurement of school organizational, cultural and environmental variables and linkages of …

Three-Dimensional Radiative Transfer On A Massively Parallel Computer., Horst Michael Vath Jan 1994

Three-Dimensional Radiative Transfer On A Massively Parallel Computer., Horst Michael Vath

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

We perform three-dimensional radiative transfer calculations on the MasPar MP-1, which contains 8192 processors and is a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) machine, an example of the new generation of massively parallel computers. To make radiative transfer calculations efficient, we must re-consider the numerical methods and methods of storage of data that have been used with serial machines. We developed a numerical code which efficiently calculates images and spectra of astrophysical systems as seen from different viewing directions and at different wavelengths. We use this code to examine a number of different astrophysical systems. First we image the HI distribution …

A New Method For Efficient Parallel Solution Of Large Linear Systems On A Simd Processor., Okon Hanson Akpan Jan 1994

A New Method For Efficient Parallel Solution Of Large Linear Systems On A Simd Processor., Okon Hanson Akpan

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation proposes a new technique for efficient parallel solution of very large linear systems of equations on a SIMD processor. The model problem used to investigate both the efficiency and applicability of the technique was of a regular structure with semi-bandwidth $\beta,$ and resulted from approximation of a second order, two-dimensional elliptic equation on a regular domain under the Dirichlet and periodic boundary conditions. With only slight modifications, chiefly to properly account for the mathematical effects of varying bandwidths, the technique can be extended to encompass solution of any regular, banded systems. The computational model used was the MasPar …

Continuous Variation In Ellen Taaffe Zwilich's "Intrada", And "Generations", An Original Composition For Soprano, Tenor, And Orchestra., George Albert Benner

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation divides into two parts. The first part illustrates certain traits of Ellen Taaffe Zwilich's neo-Romantic style by analyzing a single piece, Intrada (1983) for five players. The analysis is in three main sections. The first section discusses how Zwilich's background might have influenced her post-1979 writing, particularly her interest in continuous variation through the writings of Schoenberg and her studies with Sessions, and Carter. The second section focuses on Intrada and Zwilich's use of continuous variation. This section also analyzes cyclical elements and considers various older principles of melodic and pitch recurrence while determining the form of this …

The Effect Of Carbon Dioxide Concentration On Carbonic Anhydrase And Other Proteins In Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii., Mamta Rawat Jan 1994

The Effect Of Carbon Dioxide Concentration On Carbonic Anhydrase And Other Proteins In Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii., Mamta Rawat

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Unicellular green algae, like Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, are able to grow photoautotrophically at low levels of CO$\sb2$. The efficient growth at low CO$\sb2$ levels is a reflection of the CO$\sb2$ concentrating mechanism that is induced when cells are adapted to low CO$\sb2$ levels. In this dissertation, the effect of CO$\sb2$ on carbonic anhydrase and other proteins in C. reinhardtii is discussed. In the first part of the dissertation, the isolation and purification of a new isoenzyme of carbonic anhydrase is reported. This carbonic anhydrase is present when cells are grown in high CO$\sb2$ but absent in low CO$\sb2$. It is located …

Patterns Of Adaptive Functioning In Cortical And Subcortical Diagnostic Groups Of Dementia., Paul Matthew Dammers Jan 1994

Patterns Of Adaptive Functioning In Cortical And Subcortical Diagnostic Groups Of Dementia., Paul Matthew Dammers

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Much debate exists as to the independence of subcortical dementia as a recognizable clinical entity. Researchers in the dementia area seem to accept that cortical dementias are relatively more incapacitating than subcortical dementias. However, there are no empirical studies to support this claim. Impairment in adaptive functioning is one criterion to be met in the diagnosis of dementia according to DSM-III-R (APA, 1987) and NINCDS-ADRDA criteria (McKhann, Drachman, Folstein et al., 1984). However, a comparison of the degree of impairment in adaptive functioning between subcortical and cortical diagnostic groups of dementia has never been systematically and empirically investigated. This study …

"Vertue Vanish'd": Censorship Of Early English Women Dramatists., Sigrid Marika King Jan 1994

"Vertue Vanish'd": Censorship Of Early English Women Dramatists., Sigrid Marika King

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation traces the impact of censorship on women dramatists from the Renaissance through the late eighteenth century, focusing on the plays of Elizabeth Cary, Aphra Behn, Mary Pix, and Susanna Centlivre. Several types of censorship--politica1, religious, and moral--affected the work of these playwrights, and several agencies--the Master of Revels, the audience, the theatre manager, and the prompter--were involved in censorship of their works. When early modern women wrote for the stage, they confronted the strictures against publication and public exposure. The four playwrights discussed here used a combination of self-censorship and subversive strategies in their work. Self-censorship was particularly …

The Thousand Appliances: Virginia Woolf And The Tools Of Visual Literacy., Janice M. Stein Jan 1994

The Thousand Appliances: Virginia Woolf And The Tools Of Visual Literacy., Janice M. Stein

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The texts of Virginia Stephen Woolf are rife with references to writers' tools, which she referred to in her diary as "the thousand appliances one needs for writing even a sentence." This dissertation examines the exact nature of Woolf's "need" for the tools of her craft and their influence upon her thought and art. Pens, and by association, ink and the writer's hands, were the center of all her authorial experiences and provided the literal link between the idea of art and its fruition as a work of art. The graphic shapes of words and paralinguistic devices such as punctuation …

X-Ray Crystallographic Identification Of A Protein-Binding Site For Both All-Trans- And 9-Cis-Retinoic Acid, Marcia E. Newcomer, R. Steven Pappas, David E. Ong Oct 1993

X-Ray Crystallographic Identification Of A Protein-Binding Site For Both All-Trans- And 9-Cis-Retinoic Acid, Marcia E. Newcomer, R. Steven Pappas, David E. Ong

Faculty Publications

The elucidation of how a protein-binding site might specifically recognize both the all-trans and 9-cis isomers of retinoic acid is of particular interest because of the recently discovered binding specificities of the nuclear receptors for retinoic acid. Two families of nuclear receptors for retinoic acid have been described, which are designated RAR (for retinoic acid receptor) and RXR (for retinoid-X receptor). The RXR family of receptors is specific for 9-cis-retinoic acid, whereas the RAR-type receptor is activated by either 9-cis- or all-transretinoic acid. During the x-ray structure determination of a secreted epididymal retinoic acid-binding protein, with and without retinoic acid, …

Collaborative Writing In Petroleum Engineering: A Case Study Of Petroleum Engineers In An Academic Setting, Michael Anne Coffey Aug 1993

Collaborative Writing In Petroleum Engineering: A Case Study Of Petroleum Engineers In An Academic Setting, Michael Anne Coffey

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Interest in collaborative writing has surged in composition studies since the mid-tolate 1980s; aspects addressed include motivation, the composing process, the kinds of participants, authorship, conflict, etc. Much composition research concentrates on collaboration in the workplace to gain an understanding of collaborative writing that can be readily transferred to the classroom and that can prepare students for the social, as opposed to solitary, act of writing—to encourage collaborative thought. In this study, I attempted to find out more about what occurs in the stages (prewriting, writing, post-writing) of collaborative writing. My subjects were petroleum engineers on university campuses. Departments were …

Wise Economies: Storytelling, Narrative Authority, And Brevity In The American Short Story, 1819-1980., Kirk Lee Curnutt Jan 1993

Wise Economies: Storytelling, Narrative Authority, And Brevity In The American Short Story, 1819-1980., Kirk Lee Curnutt

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study proposes a new way of measuring brevity in the American short story. Since Edgar Allan Poe's definition of the tale, literary criticism has looked to various structural features within the text to define the elements that distinguish the short story from other prose genres like the novel. I argue that brevity is an essential feature of storytelling and suggest that its perception is molded and shaped by several historical factors. The phrase "wise economy" offers two ways of thinking about the conciseness of the form: it evokes a history of rhetorical economy central to the formation of a …

Linkage By Generically Gorenstein Cohen-Macaulay Ideals., Heath Mayall Martin Jan 1993

Linkage By Generically Gorenstein Cohen-Macaulay Ideals., Heath Mayall Martin

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

In a Gorenstein local ring R, two ideals A and B are said to be linked by an ideal I if the two relations A = (I: B) and B = (I: A) hold. In the case that I is a complete intersection, or a Gorenstein ideal, it is known that linkage preserves the Cohen-Macaulay property. That is, if A is a Cohen-Macaulay ideal, then so is B. However, if I is allowed to be a generically Gorenstein, Cohen-Macaulay ideal, easy examples show that this type of linkage does not preserve the Cohen-Macaulay property. The primary purpose of this work …

The Dynamics Of Collective Farming: A Case Study Of Fish Farm Cooperatives In The Prefectures Of Butare And Gikongoro, Rwanda., Alphonse Rubagumya

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Cooperative fish farming not only insures a wider distribution of land and fish farming technology resources to larger segments of the population, but also makes possible the integration of limited individual resources into sizable and economically more viable production and marketing units. On the basis that more efficient internal organization can lead to greater cooperative performance, the purpose of this study is to identify organizational attributes and practices associated with effectiveness of fish farming cooperatives in Rwanda. Data for the study were obtained from a sample of 200 fish farm groups selected in the prefectures of Butare and Gikongoro, Rwanda. …

Synaptic Transmission Between Pairs Of Retinal Amacrine Cells In Culture, E. Gleason, S. Borges, M. Wilson Jan 1993

Synaptic Transmission Between Pairs Of Retinal Amacrine Cells In Culture, E. Gleason, S. Borges, M. Wilson

Faculty Publications

We have examined synaptic transmission between isolated pairs of chick GABAergic amacrine cells, maintained in sparse culture and identified by their binding of an amacrine cell-selective antibody. Using the perforated- patch method to whole-cell clamp both cells of a pair, postsynaptic currents were examined for step depolarizations of the 'presynaptic' cell. Synaptic transmission, frequently reciprocal, was calcium dependent and reversibly blocked by bicuculline. Postsynaptic currents, excluding those due to ohmic electrical coupling, were elicited only for presynaptic voltage steps positive to about -40 mV and were always very noisy, suggesting that they were summed from relatively small numbers of quanta. …

The Poetry In-Between: Presence And Absence In Whitman, Rimbaud, And Hopkins., Jonathan Flint Alexander Jan 1993

The Poetry In-Between: Presence And Absence In Whitman, Rimbaud, And Hopkins., Jonathan Flint Alexander

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

"The Poetry In-Between: Presence and Absence in Whitman, Rimbaud, and Hopkins" analyzes three major nineteenth-century poets and their development of a poetics which has as its chief focus of concern the issue of presencing an eternal and universal "Other" by which to assess self identity. After the Kantian critique and the seeming reduction of human knowledge to phenomenal perceptions, early nineteenth-century poets and theorists feared the entrapment and isolation of the self in subjective awareness. The romantics, such as Friedrich Schlegel, sought ways to overcome such alienating subjectivity and ultimately conceived of the poet as a privileged spokesman and arbiter …
