Resistance On The Imperial Terrain: Constructing A Counter-Empire In Paul Beatty’S The White Boy Shuffle, Brian Grosenbaugh

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

Paul Beatty’s The White Boy Shuffle ostensibly proffers a new model for black leadership, a role filled by the protagonist, Gunnar Kaufman. Yet the cheeky tone with which Gunnar as frame narrator characterizes such a leader, likening his position as leader of black America to that of a Negro Demagogue and Ebon Pied Piper, immediately casts into doubt the ability of and desirability for a single person to represent such a wide spectrum of particular entities. Instead, what becomes clear is that such a reductive form of representation serves only to stifle the multivalent reality of postmodern life. As Gunnar …

Hegel, Modernity, And Telos In Cormac Mccarthy’S Southwestern Novels: An Inquiry Into Mccarthy’S Philosophical Position, Ian K. Jensen

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

In this study, I examine the first four of Cormac McCarthy’s Southwestern or Western novels. I begin with Blood Meridian and continue with the three Border novels: All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, and Cities of the Plain, often referred to as the Border Trilogy.

McCarthy’s erudite and sometimes inflorescent prose obscures attempts to decipher his philosophical viewpoint. I examine this viewpoint herein. In order to proceed with this project, I find value in G.W.F. Hegel’s thought, as well as his philosophical architecture and preoccupations.

Following the Introduction, my first Chapter discusses Hegel’s thought and our two-fold concern with it …

The Roles Of Food And Predation In Shaping Adaptive And Maladaptive Behaviors In Postfire Bird Species, Bruce Andrew Robertson

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

Most animals live in rapidly changing environments, and within-individual phenotypic plasticity can allow populations to track sources of selection that often vary dramatically in time and space. However, if conditions change too rapidly, the cues animals use to track environmental changes may become uncoupled from the ultimately important factors with which they have been historically correlated. Animals relying upon proximal cues to guide their behaviors may, in novel environments, consistently make errors. When these errors occur within the context of choosing a habitat, the organism is said to be caught in an ‘ecological trap’. Herein, I develop a conceptual model …

The Development Of The Web Based Co2sys Program, Shigui Yuan

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

A web-based version of CO2SYS program has been implemented to replace the current DOS based version system. The user does not have to download anything to a local computer, instead they can run the calculations online freely. For this new designed program, all the user inputs and options are displayed in one single window instead of several small black and white DOS screens. All the calculation results are listed in a single page, as well. The user can change any inputs and constants before and after the data calculation, i.e., recalculation. Much more powerful error checking has been built into …

Which Way For Catalan And Galician?, Jay Gordon Bostrom

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

Bostrom, Jay, M.A., Autumn 2006 Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures Spanish Minority Language Attitudes in Galicia and Catalonia Chair: Professor Anthony Beltramo Despite legitimate fears of the effects twenty-first century globalization will have on linguistic diversity, vigorous efforts are being made to maintain minority languages in multi-national/ethnic states such as Spain. Catalonia and Galicia have not forgotten the severe treatment they received under the Franco dictatorship that resulted in untold damage to the trajectory of the languages. Even today, thirty-one years later, the negative effects are palpable and alive in the language attitudes of the Catalan and Galician people. …

A Land Link For Western Montana: Keeping Land In Agriculture From One Generation To The Next, Paul Fuller Hubbard

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

Western Montana’s agricultural land is rapidly being developed in the wake of an increasing population and aging farmers and ranchers. The subsequent high land values make it difficult for producers to access agricultural land. The Community Food and Agriculture Coalition has prioritized the creation of a land link matching service to help connect farm and ranch owners with people looking for agricultural land to expand or start production operations. This professional paper aims to provide the first step towards this objective by exploring how a matching service might be designed, administered and implemented. The research has two components: 1) to …

Development And Application Of A Modis Snowmelt Model For Northwestern Montana, Jessica A. Bleha

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

Bleha, Jessica, M.S., Autumn 2006 Geosciences Development and Application of a MODIS Driven Snowmelt Model in Northwestern Montana Chairperson: Joel T. Harper In the mountain west the timing of the spring snowmelt pulse has considerable impact on water resources and ecological processes such as fire. A forward shift of this timing due to warming climate has received considerable attention. The internal structure and physical processes of the mountain snowpack also have a large influence on the timing of spring runoff. Here we investigate controlling factors in the timing of the spring melt pulse in a large-scale northern Rockies watershed. We …
