Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Charles Wilkins Short (1794-1863) participated in the evolution of a scientific community in the United States. His interests in botany began when he was a student at the University of Pennsylvania (M.D. 1815). As a country doctor in western Kentucky (1817-1825), then as professor of materia medica at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky (1825-1838), and the Louisville Medical Institute (later University of Louisville, 1838-1849), and finally in retirement, Short devoted himself'to the classification of flora of his native state and region.

Generation, Isolation And Assay Methods For Human Lymphocyte Mitogenic Factor, Thomas E. Seay
Generation, Isolation And Assay Methods For Human Lymphocyte Mitogenic Factor, Thomas E. Seay
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Activated lymphocytes secrete many products including the lymphokine human lymphocyte mitogenic factor (HLMF). In preliminary experiments lymphocytes from peripheral blood and palatine tonsils were evaluated as possible sources of HLMF by evaluating their level of activation through screening their spontaneous and concanavalin A (con A)-induced blastogenic responses. Tonsil lymphocytes (TL) were found to have high spontaneous proliferation as compared to peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). Cells from both sources responded to con A by undergoing a typical blastogenic response. Because TL must be obtained septically, they are frequently cultured in the presence of the antimycotic agent, Amphotericin B (Am B). Since …

The New Testament Text Of Today: An Assessment Of Progress Since Westcott And Hort, Steven Charles Singleton
The New Testament Text Of Today: An Assessment Of Progress Since Westcott And Hort, Steven Charles Singleton
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Westcott and Hort's The New Testament in the Original Greek has profoundly affected all New Testament textual criticism since its publication. Most subsequent textual critics have acknowledged their debt to Westcott and Hort, while believing that Westcott and Hort failed to uncover the original text and that their principles and text must be refined, modified, and improved. Even though a flurry of activity has characterized post-Hortian textual criticism, the question arises again and again: What progress from Wes-tcott-Hort has actually been accomplished?

High Performance Imagery : The Use Of Prose Poetry In James Welch's Riding The Earthboy 40 And Winter In The Blood, Sidner J. Larson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
James Welch's combining of poetry and prose has given him a unique language with which to record his impression of life. In addition, welch has an excellent sense of reality that gives life to his writing. His rendition of lonely rural Montana is valid for much of interior America, and he is a master at tracing the implications of life in similar situations for all people who live with distance and harshness. one of the qualities I respect most about Riding the Earthboy 40, Winter in the Blood, and The Death of Jim Loney is that they communicate movingly about …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Today the name "Hoosier" can be applied to anybody living in or coming from the state of Indiana. Many Americans first hear it as the name of Indiana University's athletic teams; tourists become familiar with the "Hoosier State" nickname which appears on interstate highway signs, travel brochures and maps. Because of the popularity ofc Kurt Vonnegut’s books in recent years, many of us have first learned the term in his work. Others think of it as a name for the landscape of James Whitcomb Riley's verse. And there are still alive some older folk among us who, like students of …

It was assumed that certain certification requirements would have to be met in order to teach theatre courses in each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia. A resource containing comprehensive data about these requirements would be helpful for college students as they select coursework throughout their college careers. An investigation was made to determine if such a resource had been written which enumerated the certification requirements one …

George Herbert : His Method, Salesian Or Protestant, Bruce Aardsma
George Herbert : His Method, Salesian Or Protestant, Bruce Aardsma
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In modern times literary criticism has seen a renewed interest in the poetry of the seventeenth century metaphysical poets, commonly referred to as ''the poetry of meditation." Based on the Augustinan philosophy, the act of meditation became a devotional process through which a person could attain a union with the Godhead by following a prescribed method. This method included the stages of purgation, illumination, and unification, through which the meditant first becomes aware of his own sinful nature and hopeless condition and then discovers the way of salvation and commits himself to the service of God. The final stage of …
Emily Dickinson's Poetry : Abnormality Defined, Izzat Mohammed Ghazzawi
Emily Dickinson's Poetry : Abnormality Defined, Izzat Mohammed Ghazzawi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As a romantic poet, Emily Dickinson was fascinated by nature, individualism, man's relation with God and the universe and the other unperceivable problems of love, pain and death. Emerson and Thoreau dwelt on "Transcendentalism” with great enthusiasm; they were absorbed in their pilgrimage into nature and with man's place in this ambiguous universe. Melville's literary interests revealed the tensions that existed in his mind and in the culture at large--tensions set up by the conflict between the will to believe and the need to be shown, between transcendentalism and empiricism in philosophy, between religion and science. Whitman was content with …

Genetic Correlations Among Sex-Limited Traits, Michael D. Macneil
Genetic Correlations Among Sex-Limited Traits, Michael D. Macneil
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Monte Carlo simulation techniques were used to assess the merits of three methods for calculation of the genetic correlation when traits have been measured on half-sibs of each sex. The restricted maximum likelihood, path coefficient and covariance component estimators did not differ significantly in their accuracy. Path coefficient and covariance component methodologies gave nearly unbiased estimators for traits of high heritability. Across both levels of heritability, the restricted maximum likelihood methodology resulted in genetic correlations being estimated with significantly smaller sampling variance than the other methods. Genetic correlations were estimated for age of puberty, weight at puberty, conceptions per service, …

Uses Of Figures Of Speech In Selected Speeches Of Jerry Falwell, Mary M. Gill
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As early as 350 B.C. Aristotle was cultivating concepts of language usage. It addition to the principles of clarity, accuracy, appropriateness and vividness, he developed concepts on the uses of the metaphor as a stylistic tool. The study of style and its adaptation continued to the Roman Age and the early study of rhetoric in England. During the eighteenth-century various rhetoricians began analyzing style more closely. Francis Bacon noted "the ill and unfit choice of words wonderfully obstructs the understanding. "He analyzed words and word combinations and their effect on interpretation. Adam Smith instructed that style was the common element …
