The Rhetoric Of Synnationalism: A Model Of Foreign Policy Discourse., Ralph A. Hamlett Jan 1992

The Rhetoric Of Synnationalism: A Model Of Foreign Policy Discourse., Ralph A. Hamlett

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The United States, as other nation-states, claims legitimacy as an agency for the expression of the aspirations of its people. This political structure appeared as part of a historical process that implied a transfer of authority from ruling elite(s) to the public. However, U.S. foreign policy discourse evidences an incomplete relocation of authority. In matters of sovereignty and national interests, the policy establishment considers itself more capable of decisions than ordinary people. The establishment tends to view citizens as masses disinterested in and incapable of understanding vital decisions of the state. The policy establishment assumes the public's role is best …


Parallel Geometric Algorithms., Fenglien Lee Jan 1992

Parallel Geometric Algorithms., Fenglien Lee

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Geometric algorithms have many important applications in science and technology. Some geometric problems require fast response time that could not be achieved by traditional sequential algorithms. However, the speed, power and versatility of parallel computers can be exploited to develop efficient geometric algorithms as shown in this dissertation. Our study focuses on designing efficient parallel geometric algorithms and analyzing their computational complexities. In this research, first we developed a parallel algorithm to find the maxima of a set of N points in the d-dimensional space, d $>$ 3, on a hypercube SIMD machine. Our algorithm is a parallel implementation …


A Formal Methodology For The Specification Of Distributed Systems From An Object Perspective., Sangbum Lee Jan 1992

A Formal Methodology For The Specification Of Distributed Systems From An Object Perspective., Sangbum Lee

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Distributed computing systems are systems in which multiple processors run independently by communicating with each other. The design of distributed systems is difficult to achieve as the execution patterns of distributed system are typically more complex than those of non-distributed computing systems. The application of object-oriented techniques to the design of distributed systems has the potential to increase the power of modeling and computing. A formal methodology which includes a specification language, developed from an object perspective, for the development of distributed systems is presented. The formal specification language, DOSL (Distributed Object-based Specification Language), represents the specification of distributed systems …


Taxonomic Treatment Of Indigofera L. (Fabaceae: Faboideae) In The New World., Alan Wayne Lievens Jan 1992

Taxonomic Treatment Of Indigofera L. (Fabaceae: Faboideae) In The New World., Alan Wayne Lievens

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The current taxonomic study of Indigofera (Fabaceae) as it occurs in the New World has several aims. The first addresses taxonomic and nomenclatural issues related to North American taxa. Because such issues have not been well understood for many of these taxa at various ranks, a synopsis of all taxa known to be referable to North America is presented along with a thorough discussion of nomenclatural issues (including synonymy) for each. This discussion is initially placed within the framework of the species groups proposed by Rydberg in 1923. A preliminary cladistic analysis of these North American species groups is presented. …


Applicability Of Bioluminescence Assay And Aerobic Bacterial Counts For The Evaluation Of Raw Milk Quality., Abdul Ghafoor Mian Jan 1992

Applicability Of Bioluminescence Assay And Aerobic Bacterial Counts For The Evaluation Of Raw Milk Quality., Abdul Ghafoor Mian

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Raw milk samples were analyzed to determine the bacteriological quality by the standard plate count (SPC), adenosine-5$\sp\prime$-triphosphate (ATP) assay, preliminary incubation counts, and the psychrotrophic bacteria count (PBC). In a comparison of SPC and ATP content, an overall correlation coefficient of 0.97 was found between the two methods. The correlations between ATP content and SPC of fresh raw milk samples at zero hour and after preliminary incubating these samples at 12.8 and 15.6$\sp\circ$C for 18 hours were.96,.97, and.97, respectively. The regression coefficients for all types of milk samples were highly significant ($P <$.01). High correlation coefficients demonstrated that the ATP measurement in combination with preliminary incubation practices could be a rapid technique for the determination of bacteriological quality of milk at receiving stations and milk processing plants. Median SPC for 175 fresh raw milk samples was 36,000/ml. The bioluminescence technique is reported previously to have a good correlation with SPC in the range of 1.0 $\times$ 10$\sp5$ to 1.0 $\times$ 10$\sp{10}$ bacteria/ml. The commingled milk coming at the receiving stations sometimes have a bacterial count that is less than 1.0 $\times$ 10$\sp{5}$ bacteria/ml. A correlation coefficient of.87 was calculated between the SPC and ATP values for the overall data while lowering the SPC range from 1.0 $\times$ 10$\sp5$ to 1.0 $\times$ 10$\sp4$ bacteria/ml. This range is more practical as a quick screening of raw milk at dairy processing facilities since 81 percent of all raw milk samples fell in this range. An equation (SPC = $-$1642213 + 6751(ATP)) was developed from the combined experimental data which could estimate the SPC of raw milk samples using their ATP content. Another phase of the experiment was to ascertain if the Petrifilm$\sp{\rm TM}$ technique could be effectively used in place of agar method to estimate PBC. The correlation coefficient between the Petrifilm$\sp{\rm TM}$ and the agar plate method for both the fresh and preliminary incubated raw milk samples was.99. A high linearity of relationship shows that one method can be substituted with the other. However, the Petrifilm$\sp{\rm TM}$ technique took longer than the usual time of 25 h to develop red colonies at 21$\sp\circ$C because of the slow reduction of the dye reagent triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) at this temperature.


Shell-Model Description Of Rotational Motion In Odd-Mass Nuclei., Husney Ahmed Naqvi Jan 1992

Shell-Model Description Of Rotational Motion In Odd-Mass Nuclei., Husney Ahmed Naqvi

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

An algebraic shell-model realization of a quantum rotor for integral and half-integral angular momenta is introduced. The underlying symmetry of the theory is the SU(3) $\supset$ SO(3) group structure. The algebraic model reproduces the eigenvalues of the quantum rotor hamiltonian well for normal shell-model configurations; the mapping is exact for small values of the angular momentum in large SU(3) representations. A shell-model hamiltonian using this algebraic realization of the quantum rotor and other non-central one-body interactions is used to reproduce the experimental spectra of representative even and odd-mass ds-shell nuclei.


Theoretical Aspects Of Intense Field Harmonic Generation, Anne L. Huillier, Kenneth J. Schafer, Kenneth C. Kulander Aug 1991

Theoretical Aspects Of Intense Field Harmonic Generation, Anne L. Huillier, Kenneth J. Schafer, Kenneth C. Kulander

Faculty Publications

We present theoretical studies of high-order harmonic generation in a rare-gas medium. The experimental results obtained at Saclay with a 1064 nm Nd-YAG laser in the 1013 W cm-2 intensity range are summarized. The harmonic emission strengths first decrease rather steeply for the first orders, then form a long plateau up to the 21st harmonic in xenon, or up to the 33rd harmonic in argon, before decreasing again rather abruptly. The theoretical description of these experiments consists first in the calculation of the photoemission spectra emitted by a single atom. The spectra are obtained by numerically integrating a time-dependent Schrôdinger …

Eruption Dynamics And Petrology Of The Most Recent Eruptions Of Nevado Del Ruiz Volcano, Colombia, South America, Richard Henry Young Jun 1991

Eruption Dynamics And Petrology Of The Most Recent Eruptions Of Nevado Del Ruiz Volcano, Colombia, South America, Richard Henry Young

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Field measurements and petrographic analyses of pumices from the most recent tephra deposits of Nevado del Ruiz volcano provide a context in which to view the disastrous eruption of 13 November, 1985 (R0). The pumices are all crystal-rich, two-pyroxene andesites to dacites with whole rock SiO2 contents of 62 - 66 wt.%, and magma water contents estimated to be between 1 - 4 wt.%. The 1985 tephra has greater petrologic diversity than earlier deposits which may be related to an input of a hotter, more basic magma into the Ruiz system, as suggested by xenocrystic olivine which is most …


Tide Gauge Records, Water Level Rise, And Subsidence In The Northern Gulf Of Mexico, R. Eugene Turner Jun 1991

Tide Gauge Records, Water Level Rise, And Subsidence In The Northern Gulf Of Mexico, R. Eugene Turner

Faculty Publications

Long-term water level changes in the northern Gulf of Mexico were examined using tide gauge records for this century. Strong coherence exists between the annual mean water changes at Galveston, Texas, and (1) the relatively geologically-stable west coast of Florida, (2) global mean sea level, and 93) the subsiding Louisiana coast. Water levels at the Galveston gauge, one of the longest records (81 yr), have risen steadily, but not accelerated over the long-term. The apparent acceleration of water rise in the recent two decades is within the historical pattern, and is probably driven by regional or global, but not local …

Behavioral Characteristics Of Damaged Steel Repaired By Heat Straightening., Paul Franklin Robinson Jan 1991

Behavioral Characteristics Of Damaged Steel Repaired By Heat Straightening., Paul Franklin Robinson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A comprehensive set of experiments is conducted on damaged steel plates and rolled shapes which have been subjected to heat straightening. Effects of the repair process on the tensile properties and residual stresses in the repaired steel are experimentally determined for the first time. Based on the results, rational decisions can be made concerning the use of heat straightening and its limitations. For the first time in a laboratory setting, heavily damaged plate elements and rolled shapes are repetitively subjected to vee heat applications to produce desired straightening. Movements resulting from each heat application are recorded and provide an adequate …


Stereoelectronics Of Carboxylate-Imidazolium Hydrogen Bonds In Models Of The Aspartate-Histidine Couple In Serine Proteases., Nabeel Abdel Raouf Nabulsi Jan 1991

Stereoelectronics Of Carboxylate-Imidazolium Hydrogen Bonds In Models Of The Aspartate-Histidine Couple In Serine Proteases., Nabeel Abdel Raouf Nabulsi

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The geometry of the carboxylate-imidazolium hydrogen bond in the crystalline state and the effect of microenvironment are investigated in models of the aspartate-histidine (Asp-His) couple. Synthetic methods leading to the preparation of intramolecular models, possessing syn and anti-oriented hydrogen bonds, also are described. A single-pot procedure has been developed for converting phenoxyacetonitriles into their respective benzimidazole derivative in higher yields than the traditional two step procedure. An efficient single-pot procedure also has been developed for converting benzofuran to its acetylene derivative, 2-acetoxyphenylacetylene. This method involves in situ acetylation of the unstable phenol intermediate. Nine intermolecular imidazolium-benzoate couples have been prepared …

The Use Of Supertitles By American Opera Companies., Christina Margaret Alves Jan 1991

The Use Of Supertitles By American Opera Companies., Christina Margaret Alves

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The main purpose of this monograph was to examine the use of supertitles in foreign language opera by American opera companies. Supertitles are the translation of an opera's text projected simultaneously above the stage during an opera performance. The use of supertitles is one of the most controversial issues in the opera world. Although the primary purpose is to enable the audience to understand a foreign text, there is an ongoing controversy over whether supertitles enhance an opera performance or detract from it. Many opera companies are using supertitles, but there are still those who have not made the investment …

Sweet corn was grown in six lysimeters at Louisiana Agricultural Experimental Station's Ben Hur Research Farm located 6 km south of Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. A water balance was measured over three corn growing seasons for the following three soil moisture regimes: No irrigation or drainage (SMR1); No irrigation but drainage as needed (SMR2); and irrigation or drainage as needed (SMR3). The average actual evapotranspiration from SMR1, SMR2, and SMR3 over three seasons were 192 mm, 202 mm, and 304 mm …


A Theoretical Approach Involving Recurrence Resolution, Dependence Cycle Statement Ordering And Subroutine Transformation For The Exploitation Of Parallelism In Sequential Code., Chih-Ping Chu Jan 1991

A Theoretical Approach Involving Recurrence Resolution, Dependence Cycle Statement Ordering And Subroutine Transformation For The Exploitation Of Parallelism In Sequential Code., Chih-Ping Chu

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

To exploit parallelism in Fortran code, this dissertation consists of a study of the following three issues: (1) recurrence resolution in Do-loops for vector processing, (2) dependence cycle statement ordering in Do-loops for parallel processing, and (3) sub-routine parallelization. For recurrence resolution, the major findings include: (1) the node splitting algorithm cannot be used directly to break an essential antidependence link, of which the source variable that results in antidependence is itself the sink variable of another true dependence so a correction method is proposed, (2) a sink variable renaming technique is capable of breaking an antidependence and/or output-dependence link, …

Subjects in three conditions first performed a map task designed with four referential problems which had to be solved to successfully complete the task. Immediately following the map task, the subjects in the first condition participated in a discussion session in which …


The Differential Effects Of Either X-Irradiation Or Thermal Stress On The Two Major Cell Types Of The Blastocyst Stage Murine Embryo., Joe Steve Capehart Jan 1991

The Differential Effects Of Either X-Irradiation Or Thermal Stress On The Two Major Cell Types Of The Blastocyst Stage Murine Embryo., Joe Steve Capehart

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The first objective of this investigation was to determine if either X-irradiation or thermal stress exerted differential effects on the two major cell types of the blastocyst stage murine embryo. Results of this study indicate that X-irradiation dosages of 0 rads, 500 rads, 600 rads, 700 rads, 800 rads, 900 rads or 1000 rads had no effect on the ability of treated embryos to either hatch or develop into trophoblastic outgrowths (P $<$.05). In contrast, X-irradiation treatment over the levels tested did have a detrimental effect on the ability of embryos to develop into trophblastic outgrowths possessing an ICM region (P $>$.05). X-irradiation over the levels tested had no effect on the mean two-dimensional outgrowth surface areas ($\mu$m$\sp2$) (P $>$.05). However, X-irradiation was found to have a …


Solution Adaptive Grid Procedures For High-Speed Parabolic Flows., Albert Destrehan Harvey Iii Jan 1991

Solution Adaptive Grid Procedures For High-Speed Parabolic Flows., Albert Destrehan Harvey Iii

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A solution-adaptive grid procedure based on an error equi-distribution scheme is developed and applied to a Parabolized Navier-Stokes solver. The adaptation scheme re-distributes grid points line-by-line, with grid point motion controlled by forces analogous to tensional and torsional spring forces with the tensional spring force at a point proportional to the error estimate. Where the error estimates are large, the tensional forces become high and drive grid points to cluster in these high error estimate regions. Torsional terms are functions of the grid point positions along neighboring grid lines and provide grid smoothness and orthogonality. A method of selecting error …


An Analysis Of Educational Films: An African-American Perspective. (Volumes I And Ii)., Brenda Garibaldi Hatfield Jan 1991

An Analysis Of Educational Films: An African-American Perspective. (Volumes I And Ii)., Brenda Garibaldi Hatfield

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Historically African-Americans have been marginalized and subordinated in critical discourse and research in curriculum studies and educational media. There is a vital need for research directed toward African-Americans as subjects and viewers of media used in school curricula. Cultural theorists in curriculum and educational media studies are interested in knowing how social, political and ideological messages are produced and circulated in society, and how student audiences use them to make sense of their experiences. The purpose of this research is to contribute to a better understanding of how racial representations and social identities are coded and produced in educational films, …


Fatigue Failure Of Composite Bolted Joints., Paul Douglas Herrington Jan 1991

Fatigue Failure Of Composite Bolted Joints., Paul Douglas Herrington

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The objective of this study is to investigate the fatigue behavior of a double-lap, bolted composite joint. The material used for all tests is a quasi-isotropic graphite-epoxy laminate. Prior to fatigue testing, monotonic loading tests were performed in order to establish the important fundamental properties of friction coefficients and the ultimate bearing strength of composite joints. Proper design of friction type bolted joints for composite materials accounts for the force transmitted through friction between the clamped materials. This consideration requires knowledge of the coefficient of friction between the mating surfaces of the bolt, or washer, and the composite material. In …

Picosecond Pump-Probe Raman Spectroscopy Of Excited States And Relaxation Phenomena In The Condensed Phase., Robert Lingle Jr

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation describes the development and application of pump-probe Raman spectroscopy using 8 ps laser pulses as a technique for the study of relaxation phenomena in the condensed phase. I show three examples of systems studied by this technique. First, the dissipation of the heat deposited in the cage of solvent molecules surrounding a photodissociated diatomic solute is directly measured in the solvent Raman spectrum. Second, we provide a full characterization of the excited $A\sp\prime$ state of iodine which is formed in solution following photodissociation. This work discusses the solvent dependence of the iodine atom recombination process and points toward …

New techniques are presented to solve some of the problems in these paradigms. Automatic interpretation of features in a natural scene is the focus of the first part of the dissertation. The proposed interpretation technique consists of a context dependent feature labeling algorithm using non linear probabilistic relaxation, and an expert system. Traditionally, the output of the labeling is analyzed, and then recognized by a high level interpreter. In this new approach, the knowledge …


Parallel And Distributed Algorithms For A Class Of Graph-Related Computational Problems., Rajanarayanan Subbiah Jan 1991

Parallel And Distributed Algorithms For A Class Of Graph-Related Computational Problems., Rajanarayanan Subbiah

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

There exist at least two models of parallel computing, namely, shared-memory and message-passing. This research addresses problems in both these types of systems, and proposes efficient parallel (Shared-Memory Model) and distributed (message-passing) algorithms for a variety of graph related computational problems. In part I, we design algorithms for three generic problems in distributed systems: set manipulation, network structure recognition and facility placement. We present optimal distributed algorithms for recognizing rectangular-mesh networks. The time and message complexity of our algorithm is linear in the number of nodes in the network. We also lay the foundation for the recognition of 2-reducible, outer-planar …

The Soviet-American Gallium Experiment is the first experiment able to measure the dominant flux of low energy p-p solar neutrinos. Four extractions made during January to May 1990 from 30 tons of gallium have been counted and indicate that the flux is consistent with 0 SNU and is less than 72 SNU (68% CL) and less than 138 SNU (95% CL). This is to be compared with the flux of 132 SNU predicted by the Standard Solar Model. © 1991.
