Staging Whoredom: Prostitution On The Renaissance Stage., Gregory George Winland
Staging Whoredom: Prostitution On The Renaissance Stage., Gregory George Winland
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Recent critics of Shakespeare's plays have acknowledged that the playwright's treatment of the lower classes is not as negative as once believed. Yet more critics claim the Shakespeare presented prostitutes and bawds, certainly among the lowest members of society, with callous indifference if not contempt. The plays that take up the issue of illicit sex reveal that Shakespeare's prostitutes and bawds are given the opportunity to speak about their problems from the stage. His plays consistently imply that the prostitutes are not a fountainhead of evil, that they carry out their profession simply as a means of survival. The dissertation …
Political Culture And The Coal Economy In The Upper Monongahela Region: 1776-1933., Michael Edward Workman
Political Culture And The Coal Economy In The Upper Monongahela Region: 1776-1933., Michael Edward Workman
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The industrialization of Appalachia traditionally has been understood in terms of the penetration and exploitation of the region by outside capitalists. The role of indigenous capitalists in the development of the coal and other industries has been neglected. Most development studies have focused on the Central portions of Appalachia, virtually ignoring the northern parts of the region, including the Upper Monongahela region of Northern West Virginia. Moreover, most studies of industrialization have focused on the rural, rather than the urban, parts of the region. Furthermore, the study of the role of coal miners and the miners' union (United Mine Workers …
Experimental Study On The Hydrodynamics In The Riser Of A Circulating Fluidized Bed., Heping Yang
Experimental Study On The Hydrodynamics In The Riser Of A Circulating Fluidized Bed., Heping Yang
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Circulating fluidized bed technology has been widely employed in the energy conversion industry and drawn a considerable amount of research attention to itself. The world-wide research effort on the circulating fluidized bed partially comes from the new emission standards which impose very strict limitations on the coal-powered electrical industry. In the circulating fluidized bed riser, a dilute, upward core in the center region is surrounded by a dense, downward annulus. The solid cluster formation in the annulus near the wall of the riser predominates the flow inside the riser and a transient interface of the core-annulus inside the riser exists. …
A Narratological Reading Emphasizing The Narrator/Narratee Relationships In Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", Charles Robert Maturin's "Melmoth The Wanderer", And J. Sheridan Le Fanu's "Carmilla"., Marion Carol Zwickel
A Narratological Reading Emphasizing The Narrator/Narratee Relationships In Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", Charles Robert Maturin's "Melmoth The Wanderer", And J. Sheridan Le Fanu's "Carmilla"., Marion Carol Zwickel
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The focus of this study is a narratological reading emphasizing the narrator/narratee relationships in three highly mediated, nineteenth century, English Gothic novels: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1817); Charles Robert Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer (1820); and, J. Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla (1872). A narratological reading depicts how the form of these novels illuminates their content to demonstrate that these Gothic stories do have redeeming literary merits and are not just popular fiction. The introduction discusses Gerald Prince's theory of narrator/narratee relationships which he explicates in his article "The Introduction to the Study of the Narratee" (Poetique 1973). Next, the introduction explains the …
Applicability Of Bispectral Analysis To Unstable Plasma Waves, Renaud Stauber
Applicability Of Bispectral Analysis To Unstable Plasma Waves, Renaud Stauber
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
A program to implement a spectral analysis technique called the bispectrum was written and tested with computer generated time series data. The application of the algorithm to the study of nonlinear interactions was demonstrated by a comparison of computed quantities with results from model equations found in the literature. Specifically determined were: the amplitude and phase of coupling coefficients, the power transfer function, the fraction of power associated with nonlinear coupling, and the identification of waves involved in a quadratic coupling interaction. A method of distinguishing the two parent waves from the daughter wave in this three-wave interaction is proposed …

The two hypotheses that guided this study were as follows: (1) the movement of behavior disorders (B.D.) students does not significantly regress on factors of the principal leadership; (2) there is …
Constructing The Chaucer Corpus: A Study Of Cambridge, University Library, Ms. Gg.4.27., Matthew Clark Wolfe
Constructing The Chaucer Corpus: A Study Of Cambridge, University Library, Ms. Gg.4.27., Matthew Clark Wolfe
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Cambridge, University Library, MS. Gg.4.27, brings together more of Geoffrey Chaucer's work than any other extant manuscript. It contains Troilus and Criseyde, The Canterbury Tales, Legend of Good Women, Parliament of Fowls, and other poems. MS. Gg.4.27 is also important for its unique spellings, its organization, and its value as a corpus. Based on my examination of the manuscript, I argue that MS. Gg.4.27 is the earliest surviving effort to create a corpus of Chaucer's poetry and that the manuscript and its production provide important information about the reception of Chaucer in the fifteenth century. As there are no manuscripts …

Stress Distribution And Failure Mechanism Of Reinforced Concrete Column Subjected To Internal Explosive Charge., Yong-Suk Ro
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The concept of using explosives to demolish buildings and structures revolutionized the methods to eliminate the unsafe and unwanted structures efficiently and with minimum danger. The idea of demolishing buildings was introduced by CDI (Controlled Demolition Inc., Phoenix, Maryland) during the late 1960s, and the technique has become very popular ever since with numerous blasting agencies and construction companies opting to use explosives over conventional methods of demolition. Though the technique has been used for about a couple of decades, there has not been a unified theory developed to determine the quantity and type of explosive needed to demolish a …
The Effects Of Collaborative Learning On Writing Quality, Writing Apprehension, And Writing Attitude Of College Students In A Developmental English Program., Martha Boger Shrewsbury
The Effects Of Collaborative Learning On Writing Quality, Writing Apprehension, And Writing Attitude Of College Students In A Developmental English Program., Martha Boger Shrewsbury
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
This study examined sixteen basic writers in a college developmental English program to ascertain what effect collaborative learning strategies would have on the writing apprehension, writing anxiety, and writing quality. Students operated in a collaborative environment: They followed a writing process and arrived at consensus within their group at each stage of writing. All writers still worried about their writing, but they collectively agreed that they spent more time on writing and rewriting. In short, writers had a vision of what they were expected to accomplish and demonstrated that writing was a powerful tool. This study encourages students and faculty …

Design Criteria For Tensioned Point-Anchored Resin-Assisted Roof Bolt Systems., John Charles Stankus
Design Criteria For Tensioned Point-Anchored Resin-Assisted Roof Bolt Systems., John Charles Stankus
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Roof bolting is now the primary means of roof support in mines. Further, the beam building mechanism is now believed to be the primary mechanism by which roof bolts work. This statement particularly holds true for laminated roof strata. With beam building, the roof strata is reinforced by the installed tension of the roof bolt to a point where it will resist the effects of both vertical and horizontal stresses. Despite all the advances that have been made in the area of roof control, no precise criteria has been formulated to determine what combination of bolt length and tension is …

Characterization Of Mesophase Pitch Materials From Petroleum And Coal-Derived Precursors: Kinetics And Rheology At Elevated Temperatures., Pravin Maruti Khandare
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The mesophase pitches produced from petroleum (A240) and coal (HEXT450) have been characterized by several analytical techniques. The kinetics of mesophase formation from these two distinctly different precursor materials have been studied and an empirical kinetic equation proposed. Using the model parameters the petroleum pitch is found to have similar reactivity with respect to mesophase formation when compared with the coal-derived pitch. A new technique of determining mesophase content using computer-assisted image analysis has been demonstrated successfully and reproducibly. The technique is a useful replacement for tedious manual graphing and tracing necessary for area determination. A thermomechanical (TMA) technique for …
A Layer-Wise Theory For Linear And Failure Analysis Of Laminated Composite Beams., Youngchan Kim
A Layer-Wise Theory For Linear And Failure Analysis Of Laminated Composite Beams., Youngchan Kim
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Based on a generalized laminate plate theory, the formulation of a one-dimensional Beam finite element with Layer-wise Constant Shear (BLCS) is presented. The linear layer-wise representation of in-plane displacements permit accurate computation of normal stresses and transverse shear stresses on each layer for laminated beams with dissimilar ply stiffnesses. For the accurate computation of interlaminar shear stresses, the layer-wise constant shear stresses obtained from constitutive relations are transformed into parabolic shear stress distributions in a post-processing operation. The accuracy of the BLCS is demonstrated by solving various experimental and numerical examples reported in the literature. The BLCS formulation is extended …

Development Of A Stable Tetrahedral Finite Element For Metal Forming Analysis., V B. Rachakonda
Development Of A Stable Tetrahedral Finite Element For Metal Forming Analysis., V B. Rachakonda
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
A nonlinear 'velocity-pressure' mixed finite element formulation for three dimensional rigid-viscoplastic analysis of metal forming problems is presented. It adequately takes into account the nonlinear material behavior and the large deformations that occur during metal forming operations. A ten-noded tetrahedral finite element with a quadratic interpolation in velocity and linear interpolation in pressure is used to discretize the domain of the deforming body. The salient feature of the formulation is the enforcement of the incompressibility requirement necessitated by the use of the rigid-viscoplastic constitutive law by modifying the constitutive equation to include a pressure variable and adding an additional constraint …
Interpretation Of Data From A Horizontal Heat Transfer Tube In A Bubbling Fluidized Bed., Ali Ihsan Karamavruc
Interpretation Of Data From A Horizontal Heat Transfer Tube In A Bubbling Fluidized Bed., Ali Ihsan Karamavruc
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Prior calculations of heat transfer coefficients for an experimental horizontal tube in a bubbling fluidized bed have assumed that the heat conduction through the tube wall is one dimensional. However, a comparison between one dimensional (1D) and two dimensional (2D) analyses and comparing them with experimental data shows that there exists a significant difference between 1D and 2D calculations. The analysis was accomplished by solving the unsteady 1D and 2D heat conduction equation across the tube wall numerically. The boundary conditions were taken from the temperature data measured at five different locations around the horizontal tube simultaneously. A correction factor …

Compatibility Of Submicron Silicon Cmos Circuits With Gallium Arsenide-On-Silicon Heteroepitaxy., Hormuzdiar E. Nariman
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Advanced packaging and high density interconnections are emerging technologies as silicon MOS device dimensions scale down to minimum physical limits. Multi-chip Modules and Wafer Scale Integration improve packing density, and provide solutions to board area issues beyond the capabilities of even the most densely packed surface mount technologies. Such technologies could confront increasingly complex interconnection constraints, and might provide opportunities for the insertion of high performance optical interconnections into future microelectronic systems. However, successful integration of optics with microelectronic system technologies requires a careful evaluation of the practical issues confronting monolithic co-integration of GaAs optoelectronics with high performance silicon CMOS …

Attitudes And Cognitive Distortions Of Male Adolescent Sexual Offenders., Laureen Marie Aljazireh
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
There has been increasing awareness in the past decade of the serious nature and extent of sexual offenses committed by male adolescents. The importance of investigation in the area has been augmented by recognition that a large proportion of all sexual offenses are committed by persons under the age of 18. Extensive research is necessary to determine the variables that are related to this deviant behavior in an attempt to develop prevention and treatment techniques. Literature on adult sexual offenders and nonclinical samples suggest that attitudes held by males are factors that contribute to sexual aggression. The purpose of this …
