The Unbearable Heaviness Of Politics: Milan Kundera On Aesthetics, Being And Political Consciousness, Sidney S. Fazio May 1992

The Unbearable Heaviness Of Politics: Milan Kundera On Aesthetics, Being And Political Consciousness, Sidney S. Fazio

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The work of Czech novelist Milan Kundera provides some interesting philosophical and aesthetic reflections upon the nature of human existence. Kundera strives to make concrete discoveries about human experiences through his novels. The role of the novel in revealing concrete existence presents one with a unique means to ponder political questions. Kundera's aesthetic and political philosophy arises from his distinct world view and aesthetic theory, based on three overarching premises, which insist that the most important goals for a novelist (or anyone) are: to make discoveries about existence; to ask questions without offering answers; and to express the fundamental ambiguity …

The Effects Of Organoclay Adsorption On The Solidification Of Organic Wastes., Adam Faschan Jan 1992

The Effects Of Organoclay Adsorption On The Solidification Of Organic Wastes., Adam Faschan

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The effects of organoclay adsorption on the leaching performance of solidified organic wastes was researched. Adsorption isotherms were developed for the adsorption of 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB), nitrobenzene (NB), and phenol by five different organoclays. Simulated liquid wastes containing DCB, NB, and phenol were solidified utilizing various combinations of Type I Portland cement and the five organoclays. The ratio of cement/clay utilized in each solidification matrix varied from 3/2 to 13/2. Linear and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models were utilized to predict the leaching performance of samples cured for 7, 28, and 90 days. The ratio of the actual leachate concentrations compared to …

Recovery Of Sugars From Cane Molasses By Continuous Simulated Moving Bed Ion-Exclusion Chromatography., Khalid Iqbal Jan 1992

Recovery Of Sugars From Cane Molasses By Continuous Simulated Moving Bed Ion-Exclusion Chromatography., Khalid Iqbal

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Present investigation was undertaken to determine the feasibility of using a Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) Ion Exclusion Chromatographic system for the recovery of sugars from molasses. The recovery of sugars from molasses is complicated because of the presence of high concentration of salts of K, Ca, Mg, etc. The presence of these salts in the molasses prevents sucrose to crystallize. SMB Ion Exclusion Chromatography has been shown to be successful to recover sugars from beet molasses, and to separate sugars from each other in High Fructose Corn Syrup industry. The basis of the ion exclusion is that the sorbent used …

Physiology And Biochemistry Of A Lignin-Degrading Bacterium Erwinia Sp. Cu 3614., Janardhanan S. Rajan Jan 1992

Physiology And Biochemistry Of A Lignin-Degrading Bacterium Erwinia Sp. Cu 3614., Janardhanan S. Rajan

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Previous researchers have reported the isolation of a diphenylether cleaving organism, Erwinia sp., using an enrichment medium containing lignin. A copper and dinitrophenol resistant mutant of this organism, Erwinia sp. Cu3614, has also been reported. To assess the effect of copper on the growth and biochemistry of this organism, continuous cultivation was used employing an apparently optimized medium containing ethanol as carbon source. Upon increasing the concentration of copper sulfate in the medium from 5 $\mu$g/ml to 10 $\mu$g/ml increases in maximum specific growth rate and growth yield were seen. Also decrease in the values for doubling time and the …

Cell-Mediated Immune Response To Equine Infectious Anemia Virus., Deborah Franklin Lea Jan 1992

Cell-Mediated Immune Response To Equine Infectious Anemia Virus., Deborah Franklin Lea

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The lentivirus Equine Infectious Anemia Virus (EIAV) causes an acute infection in horses which is characterized by fever, viremia, thrombocytopenia, edema, and hemolytic anemia. Most horses survive the acute disease, but remain persistently infected for life. The exact mechanism whereby horses' control their initial infection is unknown, though it appears likely that cellular immune mechanisms are involved. T lymphocytes have been shown to play a major role in the recovery from a variety of viral infections, though their role in EIAV infection has not been established. We tested peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from EIAV-infected ponies for evidence of a …

Contact Phase: Forms Of Postmodernism. (Volumes I And Ii)., Michael Owen Crumb Jan 1992

Contact Phase: Forms Of Postmodernism. (Volumes I And Ii)., Michael Owen Crumb

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation examines variant mimetic strategies as the basis for a major dialectic within postmodern culture. The method applies and sometimes extends largely accepted theoretical statements on literary form. This synthesis provides an accessible, if at times complex, schema for organizing types, genres, and postmodern products based on image production and forms of spatial/temporal discourse. An investigation of several theorists and artists grounds a theory of literary and cinematic expressionism as the basis for postmodern culture, with particular emphasis given to the interpenetration of literary and cinematic styles in the twentieth century. An aesthetic dialectic emerges in the movement toward …

The Effects Of Exercise Stress On Equine Immune Function., Tammie Lee Keadle Jan 1992

The Effects Of Exercise Stress On Equine Immune Function., Tammie Lee Keadle

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The physiologic demands of exercise constitute a form of stress which is accompanied by modulation of immune responses. However, numerous studies in many different model systems have failed to clearly define the effects of exercise on immunity. Furthermore, the role of the neuroendocrine system in exercise-induced immunomodulation has been largely unexplored. To address these issues, we evaluated the effect of acute exercise stress on 3 indices of immune function in horses, before and after completion of a 12 week treadmill-based physical conditioning program. In addition, we determined the effects of corticosteroids, catecholamines, beta endorphin, and adrenocorticotropic hormone on these same …

The Difference That Made A Difference: Nuances Of A Transformative Curriculum In The Life History Of Joy Hamilton, A Child Who Has Severe Disabilities., Phyllis James Leone

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Literature emerging in the field of special education advocates a significant departure from the traditional approach that has guided special education practices, procedures, and, ultimately the decisions made about children. To date, this literature and the debates it generates are focused primarily on special education for children who have mild or moderate disabilities. The dearth of information regarding the implications of an alternative approach for children who have severe disabilities is wanting. This study examines the life history of Joy Hamilton, a child who has severe disabilities, to reveal how curriculum has affected her life. Joy's birth, her infant intervention …

Demonstration Of A Control Strategy For Sustained Algal Growth At A Full-Scale Level Under Computer-Automated, Continuous Culture Conditions., Kelly Ann Rusch Jan 1992

Demonstration Of A Control Strategy For Sustained Algal Growth At A Full-Scale Level Under Computer-Automated, Continuous Culture Conditions., Kelly Ann Rusch

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A computerized algal turbidostat was designed and constructed for use in aquaculture facilities requiring a continuous feed source. Continuous cultures, maintained in the exponential growth phase by the continual introduction of fresh media, exhibit a steadystate nature easily adaptable to computer automation and optimization processes. These characteristics, in contrast to batch culture methods, result in both reduced land and labor requirements; an important consideration for commercial applications wherein algal production occupies as much as 40 percent of a facility in both space and cost. The turbidostat system consisted of two 0.6 m$\sp3$ growth chambers supported by a central monitoring block …

Edwardsiella Ictaluri: Pathogenic Mechanisms And Antigens Recognized By Infected Channel Catfish., Thomas James Baldwin Jan 1992

Edwardsiella Ictaluri: Pathogenic Mechanisms And Antigens Recognized By Infected Channel Catfish., Thomas James Baldwin

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

To clarify early events in the pathogenesis of enteric septicemia of catfish, 140 channel catfish fingerlings (Ictalurus punctatus) were each infected with approximately 1.0 $\times$ 10$\sp9$ colony forming units Edwardsiella ictaluri (E. ictaluri) by intragastric intubation. Fish were sacrificed at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours post infection (PI). Multiple tissue samples were evaluated by gross observation, light and electron microscopy, and immunohistochemical methods. In addition, stomach, intestine, trunk kidney, and liver were cultured quantitatively for bacteria. Trunk kidney cultures were positive by 0.25 hours PI, indicating rapid transmucosal passage. Histologic lesions …

Effects Of Temperature On Methane Consumption In A Forest Soil And In Pure Cultures Of The Methanotroph Methylomonas Rubra, G. M. King, A. P.S. Adamsen Jan 1992

Effects Of Temperature On Methane Consumption In A Forest Soil And In Pure Cultures Of The Methanotroph Methylomonas Rubra, G. M. King, A. P.S. Adamsen

Faculty Publications

Methane oxidation in soil cores from a mixed hardwood-coniferous forest varied relatively little as a function of incubation temperatures from -1 to 30°C. The increase in oxidation rate was proportional to T2.4 (in kelvins). This relationship was consistent with limitation of methane transport through a soil gas phase to a subsurface zone of consumption by diffusion. The Q10 for CO2 production, 3.4, was substantially higher than that for methane oxidation, 1.1, and indicated that the response of soil respiration to temperature was limited by enzymatic processes and not diffusion of either organic substrates or molecular oxygen. When grown under conditions …

Studies On Escherichia Coli Cell Division: Overexpression, Purification, And Quantitative Determination Offtsa Protein., Haichao Wang Jan 1992

Studies On Escherichia Coli Cell Division: Overexpression, Purification, And Quantitative Determination Offtsa Protein., Haichao Wang

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

FtsA is an essential cell division protein which is synthesized in minute amounts in Escherichia coli. To study the effects of overexpressing ftsA on the phenotype of E. coli cells, DNA fragments encoding the ftsA gene were subcloned downstream of a lac or a tac promoter in two plasmids. High-level expression of the ftsA gene from these promoters inhibited normal cell septation and caused the cells to become long, nonseptate filaments. Continued overexpression of ftsA resulted in the filaments developing spherical bulges up to 4 um in diameter. It is suggested that these bulges may emanate from septation sites because …

Effects Of Imagery-Eliciting Strategies On Imagery Processing, Memory, Beliefs, Attitudes, And Intentions From Print Advertisements., Laurie Anne Babin Jan 1992

Effects Of Imagery-Eliciting Strategies On Imagery Processing, Memory, Beliefs, Attitudes, And Intentions From Print Advertisements., Laurie Anne Babin

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The dissertation research examined four research questions. First, the question of whether or not imagery processing could be measured was addressed. It was assumed that mental imagery does exist and can be measured in three dimensions: quality, quantity, and elaboration. Support for this assumption is provided by the psychometric properties of the scale developed to measure imagery processing in concert with the support toward nomological validity of the construct that was provided by applying the scale in an experiment. Second, antecedents to mental imagery were examined, namely, the imagery-eliciting strategies of pictures and instructions to imagine, and their effects on …

Cultural Studies And The Multicultural Curriculum., Mary Susan Huddleston Edgerton Jan 1992

Cultural Studies And The Multicultural Curriculum., Mary Susan Huddleston Edgerton

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Although some of the most recent work in the field of multicultural education has acknowledged and begun to theorize about what has been called the new cultural politics of difference, problems concerning the very notions of marginality, boundaries, and their accompanying "essentialist" thought remain undertheorized. It is my intention to bring discussions about marginality and essentialism from literary theory, feminist psychoanalytic theory and poststructuralist philosophy more explicitly into the conversation about multicultural curriculum theorizing. In this study I have attempted to further develop this conversation around notions of "translation" as generated by philosophers Michel Serres (1982) and John Rajchmann (1991) …

Consumer Evaluation Of Product-Related Injuries: The Development And Empirical Testing Of A Behavioral Model Of The Product Liability Process., Bryce Mitchell Griffin Jan 1992

Consumer Evaluation Of Product-Related Injuries: The Development And Empirical Testing Of A Behavioral Model Of The Product Liability Process., Bryce Mitchell Griffin

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study strives to provide a better understanding of consumer evaluation of product liability cases. A model of consumer perceptions of the liability process, based predominantly on attribution theory, is developed and tested. The research first develops a general attributional model of the liability process, identifies relevant managerially-controllable dimensions of liability cases, and then tests consumer reaction to these factors utilizing experimental scenarios. The influence of several consumer-juror individual difference variables on the evaluation of liability cases is examined. In addition, potential mediators of the product liability process, including assessment of responsibility and affective evaluation of the plaintiff and defendant, …

Chemical And Immunological Properties Of Polysaccharide Extracted From Vibrio Parahaemolyticus., Mina Jassemzadeh Izadjoo Jan 1992

Chemical And Immunological Properties Of Polysaccharide Extracted From Vibrio Parahaemolyticus., Mina Jassemzadeh Izadjoo

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was extracted from agar grown cells and purified by ethanol precipitation, hi-speed centrifugation and chromatography on Sepharose CL-4B and Detoxi columns. The CPS was found to be acidic when chromatographed on DEAE cellulose. The three constituting sugars were determined by gas-liquid chromatography to be glucose, galactose and fucose. The molecular weight of CPS is one million or greater and in its pure form appeared to be non-immunogenic for rabbits. A monoclonal antibody (Mab) reactive by ELISA to CPS was generated. The Mab agglutinated whole cell suspensions in the slide test. Latex beads armed …

A Comparison Of Language And Graphic Products Of Students From Kindergarten Classrooms Differing In Developmental Appropriateness Of Instruction., Jean Germany Mosley

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study examines the ways in which kindergartners from more and less developmentally appropriate classrooms negotiate the process of graphic communication. Both quantitative and qualitative aspects of this process are examined. Eighty-one kindergarten children from four classrooms were asked to tell a story both verbally and graphically. They were encouraged to include drawing, writing, or both on their paper. Then they were asked to tell the story that they had produced graphically. The children were students in one of four classrooms from a single school system that were identified as: (a) most developmentally appropriate beliefs and practices; (b) developmentally appropriate …

The Theatre Of Religion: Jimmy Swaggart Within American Myth Discourse., Terry Grant Byars Jan 1992

The Theatre Of Religion: Jimmy Swaggart Within American Myth Discourse., Terry Grant Byars

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study explores the myth of the self-made man in American popular culture and how Jimmy Swaggart, the renowned televangelist, manipulates this myth in representing himself as an American hero. Central to such inquiry is Swaggart's use of theatrical device in promoting his heroism. Three fundamental questions provide the focus for investigation: (1) How in general does the creation of myth serve the needs of culture? (2) How specifically does the myth of self-made-ness benefit American culture? and (3) How is Swaggart able to participate in this powerful myth (especially using theatrical modes) in order to gain cultural sanction? In …

Jeremy Rifkin Challenges Recombinant Dna Research: A Rhetoric Of Heresy., Wiley Michael Futrell

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Western culture, in large part, is a product of scientific inquiry, technological development and the ability to harness some of nature's resources. Much of society looks to science for technology-related solutions to many of its ills. As it develops new technology, science necessarily seeks to understand and control the forces of nature. Although science assumes a prominent role in contemporary society, that prominence does not necessarily translate into cultural consensus on the progress achieved by technological developments. Another perspective is represented by those who contend that continued technological advancement is the source of existing problems, not the solution. As these …

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.

Modeling Of Circulation And Transport In Terrebonne Bay, Louisiana And Its Implications For Oyster Harvesting Management., Ellen J. Prager Jan 1992

Modeling Of Circulation And Transport In Terrebonne Bay, Louisiana And Its Implications For Oyster Harvesting Management., Ellen J. Prager

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Contamination of oyster-rich waters in south Louisiana by sewage-related wastes is believed to occur on a seasonally varying basis, and pose a serious threat to both human welfare and the local economy. Fluctuations in the meteorologic and oceanographic conditions in the region are believed to be responsible for the variability observed in bacterial concentrations. To gain a better understanding of the relationship between transport processes, environmental forcing, and the potential for contamination, a combined program of in situ measurements and numerical modeling techniques was conducted in the nearshore waters of Terrebonne Bay, Louisiana. A finite element model based on the …

Characterization Of Gentamicin Resistance In Enteric Bacteria Isolated From Pseudomys Scripta-Elegans From Commercial Turtle Farms., Michelle Anne Brassett Jan 1992

Characterization Of Gentamicin Resistance In Enteric Bacteria Isolated From Pseudomys Scripta-Elegans From Commercial Turtle Farms., Michelle Anne Brassett

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Several genera of aminoglycoside resistant enteric bacteria were isolated from commercial turtle farms. Citrobacter freundii and Proteus vulgaris were the most prevalent organisms. Gentamicin resistance, measured by minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC), ranged as high as 100 $\mu$g/ml. While resistance to other antibiotics was detected in gentamicin-resistant isolates, no correlation was observed between antibiotic resistance and plasmid content. Spontaneous mutation to gentamicin could not account for the high levels of gentamicin resistance found in the original isolates. Regions of chromosomal DNA encoding gentamicin resistance of 100 $\mu$g/ml were obtained from two Citrobacter freundii, two Proteus vulgaris, and two Salmonella enteritidis strains. …

A Novel Process For The Production Of Clinical Dextran., Doman Kim Jan 1992

A Novel Process For The Production Of Clinical Dextran., Doman Kim

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A new process for the production of clinical (or controlled size) dextran was developed. This process is simpler, cheaper and more economical than traditional methods. It involves the use of a mixed culture fermentation with a dextranase producing strain (Lipomyces starkeyi ATCC 74054) and a dextransucrase producing strain (Leuconostoc mesenteroides ATCC 10830). The new process produced 84% (w/w) of theoretical yield clinical dextran with an average polydispersity between 1.2 and 1.5. The mechanism of clinical dextran formation is the competitive production of acceptors from newly formed dextran molecules by dextranase. The acceptors compete for the existing glucosyl portion of sucrose, …

Theatrical Intervention In The Aids Crisis: Performance, Politics, And Social Change., Cindy J. Kistenberg

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of performance as a means of social change by focusing on performances that have arisen out of the AIDS crisis. Working from a cultural studies perspective, I attempt to delineate both the possibilities and limitations for this perspective on social change. By comparing the various forms these performances have taken, I offer an explanation as to how these forms inhibit or enhance the ability of a performance to challenge the dominant discourse on AIDS, and create and mobilize communities that can act in the fight against AIDS. I begin by …

Assemblage Of Spinach Photosystem Ii Proteins: Cpa-1 And Msp Interactions., Carlos Benito Queirolo

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This work focuses on the production and characterization of crosslinked products obtained from PS II preparations, with the aim of better understanding the structural relationships between the manganese stabilizing protein (MSP) and the interior antenna protein CPa-1. Two oxygen evolving reaction center (OERC) preparations, OERC complex and OERC core, produced various crosslinked products with the hydrophobic crosslinker dithio-bis-(succinimidyl propionate) (DTSP). Crosslinking experiments with OERC complex demonstrated that a close association of MSP to CPa-1 occurs, as both proteins were found to be present simultaneously in various crosslinked products revealed by one- and two-dimensional electrophoretic and immunoblotting techniques. These crosslinked products …
