The History And Development Of The Marimba Ensemble In The United States And Its Current Status In College And University Percussion Programs (Musser)., David Paul Eyler Jan 1985

The History And Development Of The Marimba Ensemble In The United States And Its Current Status In College And University Percussion Programs (Musser)., David Paul Eyler

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

In comparison with other percussion instruments, the marimba made a belated entrance into the musical world of the United States. The purpose of this study was to examine the history and development of the marimba ensemble in the United States and to determine its current status in collegiate percussion programs. This study begins by tracing the history of the marimba from its origins in Indonesia and Africa to its migration to the Americas during the early days of the slave trade. During the first decades of the twentieth century, marimba bands from Guatemala and Mexico toured extensively in the United …

Evaluation Of Foreign Accent Using Synthetic Speech (Perception)., Deborah Marie Rekart Jan 1985

Evaluation Of Foreign Accent Using Synthetic Speech (Perception)., Deborah Marie Rekart

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A meaningful sentence loaded with appropriate phonemic and syllabic forms was synthesized as a "standard" stimulus, and 60 "accented" versions of the sentence were made to stimulate varying degrees of a moderate and a strong Spanish accent by manipulating the following Spanish cues singly and in combination: (1) fundamental frequency, (2) voice onset time for syllable-initial voiceless stops, (3) Duration of medial stressed vowels, (4) F1, F2 and F3 for full vowels, and (5) F1, F2, and F3 for reduced vowels. Two tapes for each level of accent were prepared on which 30 accented stimulus sentences were each paired with …

Africanized And European Honey Bee (Apis Mellifera L.) Pollen And Nectar Foraging Behavior And Honey Production In The Neotropics (Venezuela)., Daniel Pesante Jan 1985

Africanized And European Honey Bee (Apis Mellifera L.) Pollen And Nectar Foraging Behavior And Honey Production In The Neotropics (Venezuela)., Daniel Pesante

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A one year study was conducted on pollen collection, nectar foraging, and honey production of Africanized and European honey bees in the neotropics (Venezuela). Africanized bees had a larger proportion of their foraging force foraging for pollen and therefore collected significantly larger quantities of pollen. This higher amount of collected pollen provides the protein necessary to support increased brood production and thereby increases the opportunities for Africanized colonies to cast multiple swarms through an annual cycle. Distinctly different patterns in nectar foraging by Africanized and European bees were detected. Africanized bees had lower proportions of the foraging force engaged in …

Dependence Of Fishery Species On Salt Marshes: The Role Of Food And Refuge, Donald F. Boesch, R. Eugune Turner Dec 1984

Dependence Of Fishery Species On Salt Marshes: The Role Of Food And Refuge, Donald F. Boesch, R. Eugune Turner

Faculty Publications

Salt marshes are widely believed to serve as nurseries for many fishes and crustaceans of fishery value as a result of the high production of vascular plant detritus and the protection from predation offered by shallow, spatially complex habitats. Comparisons of the yields of species which reside in salt marsh habitats during critical life history stages (such as penaeid shrimp) with the area of such habitats and their greater densities in flooded marshes and associated tidal creeks support the premise that marshes enhance the yield of such species. A range of evidence, including the amount of detrital export from marshes, …

Raman Microprobe Determination Of Local Crystal Orientation In Laser Annealed Silicon, J. B. Hopkins, L. A. Farrow, G. J. Fisanick Dec 1984

Raman Microprobe Determination Of Local Crystal Orientation In Laser Annealed Silicon, J. B. Hopkins, L. A. Farrow, G. J. Fisanick

Faculty Publications

In this letter we discuss the application of polarization selective Raman microprobe spectroscopy to the detailed, nondestructive analysis of the local crystal orientation of a polycrystalline silicon sample grown over SiO 2 pads and laser annealed. Intensity measurements taken as a function of input polarization angle are fit to an expression derived from the Raman scattering selection rules to calculate the angles by which the crystal structure is twisted within the original substrate plane, as well as the degree of tipping of the crystal plane away from the plane of the Si substrate.

Effect Of Inoculum Density On Reproduction Of Reniform Nematode Rotylenchulus Reniformis And On Root Development Of Sweet Potato Cultivars, Alice Karikurubu

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The effect of inoculum density on reproduction of the reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis, and on root development of sweet potato cultivars; W-152, Centennial, Porto Rico and Goldrush was studied under greenhouse conditions. The inoculum density had no significant effect on the root weight of the cultivars tested. The number of mature females on root systems was higher at the highest inoculum level and the number of eggs per female was significantly higher at lower densities. The number of eggs produced per root system at different inoculum densities was not significantly different on the cultivar Goldrush but was higher on the …

Characterization Of Iron-Ruthenium Bimetallic Catalyst Systems (Methanation, Moessbauer, Zeolite)., M. Mehdi Akbarnejad Jan 1984

Characterization Of Iron-Ruthenium Bimetallic Catalyst Systems (Methanation, Moessbauer, Zeolite)., M. Mehdi Akbarnejad

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Due to the potential of iron-ruthenium bimetallic heterogeneous catalysis in a number of high demand, energy related processes, this study was undertaken to synthesis and characterize a series of bimetallic Iron-Ruthenium alloy and clusters. A material science approach was taken which relies on the physical and chemical characterization of catalyst material itself rather than the classical chemical kinetics investigation of the catalytic reaction. Various methods have been employed for the determination of surface and bulk properties of catalysts during dehydration-hydration, and oxidation-reduction treatments. In the case of the bimetallic systems, the use of ('99)Ru and ('57)Fe double labelled Mossbauer experiments …

Factors Affecting The Success/Nonsuccess Of Small Farmers In Louisiana., Adell Brown Jan 1984

Factors Affecting The Success/Nonsuccess Of Small Farmers In Louisiana., Adell Brown

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

In Louisiana it was observed that many small farmers survived over long periods of time, while others with similar farm resources did not. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the social and economic factors affecting the degree of success of small farmers. A major objective was to compare two methodologies used in defining and evaluating success on a small farm. The farm business approach as measured by economic performance (quantitative) was compared to the family well-being approach as measured by socio-economic factors (qualitative to determine similarities and differences in classifying successful and nonsuccessful farms. The literature was examined …

A Multitrait-Multisource Examination Of The Relationship Between Moral Judgment And Religiousness Of Eighth Grade Students., Kathleen Trudeau Cranford Jan 1984

A Multitrait-Multisource Examination Of The Relationship Between Moral Judgment And Religiousness Of Eighth Grade Students., Kathleen Trudeau Cranford

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Since results have been equivocal about the relationship between religion and moral judgment, this study was undertaken to determine whether there was evidence for the relationship, using a multitrait-multisource technique. Criticisms of Kohlberg's theory of moral development were reviewed in regard to the issue. Teacher, self, and peer ratings were obtained on scales of religiousness, moral judgment, and social skill, which was included as a discriminant variable. A pilot group of 67 eighth graders was assessed to determine the reliability of the rating scales. Thirty-four eighth graders in the sample completed the religiousness, moral judgment, and social skills rating scales …

The Vanquished Christ Of Modern Passion Drama., Lynda Margaret Scott Donaldson Jan 1984

The Vanquished Christ Of Modern Passion Drama., Lynda Margaret Scott Donaldson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The study of "The Vanquished Christ in Modern Passion Drama" selects from the anthropocentric passion imagery in over fifty modern plays written in English between 1864 and 1980. By focusing on the modern passion dramas which appeared during the 1920s and in the postmodern period coinciding with the conflict in Vietnam of 1957 through 1973, the main thrust of this research reveals the modern poetic vision of the Christ figure of passion persona who, like mankind at war, is threatened with extinction. The modern, radical poetic vision differs from the traditional view of the passion demonstrated in pageants such as …
