Consumer Sensory Characteristics Of Butter Cake Made From Wheat And Rice Flours, Ashley Elizabeth Bond
Consumer Sensory Characteristics Of Butter Cake Made From Wheat And Rice Flours, Ashley Elizabeth Bond
LSU Master's Theses
Rice is an important commodity in Louisiana and throughout the world. During the milling process, about 15% of rice kernels become broken. Louisiana produced approximately 2,011,000 hundred weights of broken rice kernels in 2002. Converting broken rice into rice-based products adds dollars back to broken rice. The market potential for rice in processed foods is huge. In the refrigerated and frozen baked foods category, it is approximately $14.3 billion; while in the baked snack foods and wholesale bakery foods category, it is approximately $31.4 billion. Approximately 1-2% of the United States population suffers from Celiac Spruce Disease, which is a …
A Proposal For A Spark Park Site Selection Process In East Baton Rouge Parish, James M. Mccord
A Proposal For A Spark Park Site Selection Process In East Baton Rouge Parish, James M. Mccord
LSU Master's Theses
A Proposal for a SPARK Park Site Selection Process in East Baton Rouge Parish is the topic of this study to assist Parish schools and local governmental agencies in creating community parks. The SPARK Park program uses underutilized municipal properties to create community-use parks in lower-income urban areas. SPARK Parks originated in Houston, Texas. The Houston SPARK Park process was adapted for developing a site selection process for East Baton Rouge Parish. East Baton Rouge Parish dedicated their first SPARK Park in 2000. The park was built in an attempt to reduce the Parish’s open space deficit. Many more parks …
Redshifts And Luminosities For 112 Gamma-Ray Bursts, Bradley E. Schaefer, Ming Deng, David L. Band
Redshifts And Luminosities For 112 Gamma-Ray Bursts, Bradley E. Schaefer, Ming Deng, David L. Band
Faculty Publications
Two different luminosity indicators have recently been proposed for gamma-ray bursts that use gamma-ray observations alone. They relate the burst luminosity (L) with the time lag between peaks in hard and soft energies (τlag) and the spikiness or variability of the burst's light curve (V). These relations are currently justified and calibrated with only six or seven bursts with known redshifts. We have examined BATSE data for τlag and V for 112 bursts. (1) A strong correlation between τlag and V exists, and it is exactly as predicted from the two proposed relations. This is proof that both luminosity indicators …
Palm Community Development And Influence On Seedling Establishment In A Tropical Moist Forest, Panama, Krista Lynn Farris Lopez
Palm Community Development And Influence On Seedling Establishment In A Tropical Moist Forest, Panama, Krista Lynn Farris Lopez
LSU Master's Theses
Plants often modify microsite conditions important for seedling establishment. Palms may reduce light levels and produce deep leaf litter; both may suppress seedlings, affecting the local abundance, distribution, and species composition of tree seedlings. The abundance and composition of palms were examined along a tropical forest chronosequence at the Barro Colorado Nature Monument, Panama. Palms were sampled along transects in secondary (20, 40, 70, and 100 y in fallow) and old-growth forests. Palm abundance and basal area significantly increased with forest age. Palm distribution was driven by the most abundant palm, Oenocarpus mapora, which accounted for 60% of the total …
Consumers' Reasoned Behavior Toward American Alligator Leather Products., Yingjiao Xu
Consumers' Reasoned Behavior Toward American Alligator Leather Products., Yingjiao Xu
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study determined consumers' perception of and attitude toward American alligator leather products and evaluated factors affecting consumers' purchase intention of the products. The Fishbein and Ajzen (1975, 1980) theory of reasoned behavior served as the theoretical framework for the study. The influence of six variables on purchase intention was measured: attitude toward purchase based on product attributes, subjective norm with respect to purchase, traditional attitude toward fashion products (fashion involvement), personality traits (self-confidence and self-consciousness), price perception (price-quality schema and prestige sensitivity), and demographics. The correlation between consumers' usage of media for fashion information and purchase intention was also …
Habitat And Demography Of Understory Trees In Mixed Species Hardwood Forests In Northern Florida, United States Of America., Charles Kwit
Habitat And Demography Of Understory Trees In Mixed Species Hardwood Forests In Northern Florida, United States Of America., Charles Kwit
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Temperate mixed-species hardwood forests of northern Florida, USA, contain a high diversity of understory tree species, some of which have been hypothesized to require disturbance (e.g., hurricanes and/or treefall gaps). Taxus floridana is a rare understory conifer endemic to midslopes of ravines of the Apalachicola River Bluffs, and is found primarily on north-facing slopes. Vegetation sampling in the southern portion of T. floridana's range revealed the presence of an upslope oak-hickory community of suggested recent origin, and higher densities of American beech (Fagus grandifolia ), southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), and evergreen understory trees on north-facing midslopes with T. floridana than …

Factors Influencing Completion Status Of Undergraduate Nursing Students Who Initiate Progression Appeals., Karen Diane Hadskey Blanchard
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this descriptive research study was to determine the existence of predictors for success of nursing students who are granted appeals, based on special circumstances, by the University Progression and Retention Committee of Southeastern Louisiana University. This study investigated demographics (age, marital status, gender, race, residence, semester of appeal, and educational background) of 302 nursing students from Southeastern Louisiana University (January 1988, to May 1995) that appealed to the Progression and Retention Committee of the university to continue in the nursing program. Success predictor criteria provided to nursing faculty and students can be used as a positive resource …
Life History Responses To Fire Season In A Clonal Herb, Pityopsis Graminifolia (Asteraceae)., John Stephen Brewer
Life History Responses To Fire Season In A Clonal Herb, Pityopsis Graminifolia (Asteraceae)., John Stephen Brewer
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The effects of three fire seasons (May, August, and January) on reproductive success and clonal growth of a golden aster (Pityopsis graminifolia) were examined within experimental burn plots in a longleaf pine savanna in north Florida. Several factors influenced reproductive success in this species, including rates of floral induction and bud herbivory, clone fecundity, and seedling dynamics. Flowering was induced by fire, especially when it occurred in May or August. Fire season affected rates of floral induction and bud herbivory by as much as one to two orders of magnitude. Sizes of bolting shoots were also affected by fire season. …
Habitat Differentiation Of Iris Fulva Ker Gawler, Iris Hexagona Walter, And Their Hybrids., Bobby Dale Bennett
Habitat Differentiation Of Iris Fulva Ker Gawler, Iris Hexagona Walter, And Their Hybrids., Bobby Dale Bennett
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Iris fulva and Iris hexagona have overlapping geographic ranges in Louisiana; in areas of overlap hybrids are fairly common. Iris hexagona occupies the borders of freshwater marshes of southern Louisiana while I. fulva can be found farther north along edges of natural levees, canals and swamps. An area of hybridization (hybrid zone) can be found where bayous penetrate the freshwater marsh. The objective of this research was to investigate some of the factors affecting habitat differentiation of I. fulva, I. hexagona, and their natural hybrids ("Hybrid Purple" and "Hybrid Red"). A three year field study was conducted to determine the …
Pupil Control Ideology And Pluralistic Ignorance In A Residential Facility For The Hearing Impaired: Hearing And Non-Hearing Teacher Perspectives., James Alan Vitagliano
Pupil Control Ideology And Pluralistic Ignorance In A Residential Facility For The Hearing Impaired: Hearing And Non-Hearing Teacher Perspectives., James Alan Vitagliano
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The study's purpose was to examine variation in pupil control ideology (PCI) and existence of pluralistic ignorance in a school for the deaf. Participant observation, survey administration, and ethnographic interview techniques were related to nine hypotheses focused upon informal group structures of hearing and non-hearing teachers within the school culture. The hypotheses were: (1) Hearing teachers will perceive PCI of non-hearing teachers as more custodial than non-hearing teachers report. (2) Non-hearing teachers will perceive PCI of hearing teachers as more custodial than hearing teachers report. (3) Hearing teachers will perceive hearing teachers' PCI as less custodial than non-hearing teachers' PCI. …
