An Analysis Of Medium Of Exchange In Takeovers., Yuan-Shing Liao Jan 1997

An Analysis Of Medium Of Exchange In Takeovers., Yuan-Shing Liao

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation provides a detailed analysis of the medium of exchange in corporate takeovers. Previous theoretical works and empirical evidence suggest three distinct (but not necessarily mutually exclusive) elements of information asymmetry: the bidder's value, the target's value, and the synergy from a takeover. Chapter two of this dissertation integrates the theory of financial intermediation into the research of the medium of exchange in takeovers. The research question is how the bidders with favorable information employ financial intermediaries, such as accounting firms, investment banks, and commercial banks, to reduce the market's unfavorable reaction to announcements of equity-financed takeovers. Chapter three …

Data Analysis Of The Allegro Gravitational Wave Detector., Evan Mauceli Jan 1997

Data Analysis Of The Allegro Gravitational Wave Detector., Evan Mauceli

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The Allegro gravitational wave detector has been operational from 1991-1994, and 1996-present. We present a detailed description of the detector and the data acquisition system. Two distinct types of data analysis are detailed. First, we describe the search for burst sources of gravitational radiation. These are impulse forces acting on the bar, presumably from the stellar collapse associated with supernovae. Construction of the optimal filter for burst signals is described, as well as its application to the data from the detector. The uncertainties introduced into timing and signal strength estimates due to stationary noise are measured, giving the windows for …

Characterization Of Aminoalkylcarbamoyl Cellulosic And Chitosan Derivatives For Use In Cosmetic Formulation., Melissa Ann Manuszak Guerrini Jan 1997

Characterization Of Aminoalkylcarbamoyl Cellulosic And Chitosan Derivatives For Use In Cosmetic Formulation., Melissa Ann Manuszak Guerrini

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Polymer and surfactant interactions have been a subject of intense research due to industrial applications utilizing a polymer-surfactant system, such as cosmetic formulation. A series of aminoalkylcarbamoyl cellulose derivatives were prepared from the amidation of methylcarboxymethyl cellulose. These derivatives were quaternized with either iodomethane, or hydroxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride, or epichlorohydrin and dimethylamine to yield polyquaternary ammonium salts. The focus of this dissertation is the characterization of a family of these compounds based on N,N$\sp\prime$,-dimethylethylene diamine. As these compounds are similar to Polyquaternium 10, a quaternized hydroxyethyl cellulose derivative, the solution properties have been characterized; antimicrobial activity and keratin affinity have …

Education, Faith And The Critique Of Reason., Mary Ellington Quinn Jan 1997

Education, Faith And The Critique Of Reason., Mary Ellington Quinn

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The world situation, and life, in the contemporary West, since the rise of modernity, has been described most frequently as one of crisis, marked by a breakdown of life's intelligibility. It is the aftermath of the "death of God," the disappearance of humanity's relationship to a transcendent reality which historically has served as the center of meaning, effecting what has been called the world's disenchantment or the life-world's despiritualization, marked by a loss of soul. This process has involved a reduction of what constitutes the cosmos and human existence in it. In addition, reason, believed in as humanity's guiding principle, …

The Recycling Potential Of Out-Of-Service Utility Poles For Engineered Wood Products., Han Roliadi Jan 1997

The Recycling Potential Of Out-Of-Service Utility Poles For Engineered Wood Products., Han Roliadi

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study on the recycling potential of out-of-service poles for use in engineered wood products involved determination of basic properties of used southern pine (Pinus sp.) utility poles and also manufacture of glued-laminated beams from these poles. Most of the defect-free portions of 25-year treated poles still retained adequate strengths comparable to those of freshly treated poles and untreated southern pine. Creosote contents, however, diminished with pole ages. The reduction in creosote content was correlated with lower decay resistance, poorer dimensional stability, and lower lumber recovery, but better gluability. The spectrometry method for creosote content determination was explored as an …

Modeling Hrm In Context: Examining The Role Of Human Resource Manager Discretion., Elyssa Blanton Schultz Jan 1997

Modeling Hrm In Context: Examining The Role Of Human Resource Manager Discretion., Elyssa Blanton Schultz

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation presents a model focusing on human resource manager discretion and its role in influencing variations in HRM. Discretion, defined here as the latitude of action of human resource managers, is suggested as an important means of accounting for differing levels of constraint facing the HRM function. Because the model developed here focuses on discretion as a characteristic which is common to theories of choice and environmental determinism in organizational research, it is designed to stimulate future research that simultaneously considers predictions of HRM structure and content that have, to this point, been considered contradictory. In general, the results …

A Comparison Of Leonard Bernstein's Incidental Music For The Film "On The Waterfront" And The Subsequent "Symphonic Suite" For The Film, And An Original Composition: Symphony No. 1: "Music For Theater"., Stephen John Lias Jan 1997

A Comparison Of Leonard Bernstein's Incidental Music For The Film "On The Waterfront" And The Subsequent "Symphonic Suite" For The Film, And An Original Composition: Symphony No. 1: "Music For Theater"., Stephen John Lias

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The first portion of this dissertation compares Leonard Bernstein's incidental music to the film On the Waterfront with the subsequent concert suite that was derived from this score. By exploring the content of the film score, as well as the manner in which this music was adapted for the suite, some excellent insight can be gained into Bernstein's approach to both works, as well as the many requirements that the cinematic idiom places on the composer. Special attention is paid to the degree to which the dramatic content of the film influenced the construction of the incidental music. In the …

Complete Recycling Of Textile Components From Cotton/Polyester Blended Fabrics., Hyojung Kwon Jan 1997

Complete Recycling Of Textile Components From Cotton/Polyester Blended Fabrics., Hyojung Kwon

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of the study was to investigate the possibility of recycling textile components (especially cellulose) from cotton and polyester blended fabrics. The separation methods of intimately blended fibers developed were: (1) hydrolysis of polyester in NaOH solution or (2) dissolution of cotton in an N-methylmorpholine N-oxide monohydrate system. Complete separation was confirmed with thermal analytical methods such as differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric differential thermal analysis. These thermal methods were found to efficiently determine accurate fiber contents in cotton/polyester blends and in rayon/nylon 6,6 composite fibers. In the recycling process for cotton/polyester blends, a 4M NaOH solution at boiling …

Solid State Energy Barriers To Olefin Ligand Rotation Of Rhodium Compounds And Single Crystal X-Ray Structure Determination Of Synthetic And Natural Products., Yen-Hsiang Liu Jan 1997

Solid State Energy Barriers To Olefin Ligand Rotation Of Rhodium Compounds And Single Crystal X-Ray Structure Determination Of Synthetic And Natural Products., Yen-Hsiang Liu

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Atomic displacement parameters (ADPs) were derived from X-Ray diffraction data collected at two different temperatures (294K and 115K) from a single crystal of Rh(acac)(C$\rm\sb2H\sb4)\sb2.$ Since the thermal ellipsoids of atoms in the one crystallographically independent ethylene group displayed distinctive elongation normal to the C=C bond, a TLS rigid body analysis of the $\rm C\sb2H\sb4$ ligand rotation was undertaken. Using a locally modified version of Trueblood's THMA14 computer program, it was found that at 115K the root-mean-square amplitude of libration normal to the Rh-(CC centroid) axis is $7(4)\sp\circ,$ while at 294K it is $10(6)\sp\circ$ (estimated standard deviations in parentheses). The rotational …

The Radioresistance Of Deinococcus Radiodurans., Valerie Mattimore Jan 1997

The Radioresistance Of Deinococcus Radiodurans., Valerie Mattimore

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Deinococcus radiodurans is a remarkably ionizing radiation resistant bacterium. As a vegetative cell it is capable of withstanding 5,000 Gy ionizing radiation without evidence of death or mutation. D. radiodurans survives irradiation by repairing DNA damage via an extremely efficient DNA repair system. However, this DNA repair system has not been completely defined. In addition, the selective process allowing the evolution of high level radioresistance has remained a question. This dissertation bolsters the understanding of the DNA repair system of D. radiodurans by characterizing a collection of ionizing radiation sensitive (IRS) mutants. The level of radioresistance is quantified and transformation …

An Empirical Examination Of The Grant Induced Price And Income Effects Of Lump-Sum Intergovernmental Aid., Peter Michael Mitias Jan 1997

An Empirical Examination Of The Grant Induced Price And Income Effects Of Lump-Sum Intergovernmental Aid., Peter Michael Mitias

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This work is concerned with the nature of fiscal illusion and its effect on local government spending. Fiscal illusion is hypothesized to be a source of the "flypaper effect." The flypaper effect is an empirical phenomenon of the asymmetric effects of income and intergovernmental aid on the level of local public spending in the context of demand models of the local fisc. Lump sum aid is observed to be more stimulative on the level of public expenditures than income (Gramlich and Galper 1973). As a method of explaining this phenomenon, tax-price and income illusion are incorporated into demand models of …

Etiology And Biological Control Of Seedling Disease In Water-Seeded Rice., Se-Chul Chun Jan 1997

Etiology And Biological Control Of Seedling Disease In Water-Seeded Rice., Se-Chul Chun

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

In order to assess the potential of biological control of rice seedling disease, detailed etiological information was required, i.e. when and for how long are seedlings susceptible and which portions of the seed and seedling are susceptible. Contaminant-free seeds were required for these studies. For this purpose, rice seeds were soaked for 2 hrs in freshly prepared 2.6% sodium hypochlorite adjusted to pH 7.0 with a final concentration of 0.5 M potassium phosphate. This treatment was not only very effective in disinfesting seeds but also seemed to promote seedling growth. On the basis of this observation, a study was conducted …

Potential For Glufosinate As A Selective Herbicide For Red Rice Control In Bar-Transformed Rice., Sujatha Sankula Jan 1997

Potential For Glufosinate As A Selective Herbicide For Red Rice Control In Bar-Transformed Rice., Sujatha Sankula

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A three year study was conducted to evaluate the herbicide glufosinate on BAR-transformed rice and on the weed red rice. Preliminary evaluations with 1.1 and 2.2 kg/ha glufosinate on the BAR-transformed Gulfmont and Koshihikari rice varieties showed that both were resistant, but there was more injury to Koshihikari. Glufosinate at 2.2 kg ai/ha injured BAR-transformed Gulfmont rice more when applied to the 1- to 2-leaf stage (23-26%) than when applied to 3- to 4-leaf (13-19%) plants. The damage was least with boot stage applications (3-14%). Phytotoxicity to BAR-transformed Gulfmont rice was greater when 2.2 kg/ha glufosinate was combined with 0.4 …

Lex Scripta Et Lex Non Scripta: Tensions Between Law And Language In Late Fourteenth-Century England And Its Literature., Susanne Sara Thomas Jan 1997

Lex Scripta Et Lex Non Scripta: Tensions Between Law And Language In Late Fourteenth-Century England And Its Literature., Susanne Sara Thomas

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This work explores the connections between Middle English literature and transitions occurring within the English legal system. It focuses on the way Chaucer and the Gawain-poet negotiate the tension between the legal potency of the written word and the spoken word. As the common law contains an ongoing negotiation between written and unwritten forms of law, the dissertation discusses the function and significance of the tension between the lex scripta and the lex non scripta. It argues that the increasing displacement of oral and written language in the legal realm is a source of considerable cultural anxiety, and this anxiety …

An Integrated Model Predicting Smoking Stage Of Change Among A Sample Of Government-Insured And Indigent Medical Patients., Edwin Daniel Boudreaux Jan 1997

An Integrated Model Predicting Smoking Stage Of Change Among A Sample Of Government-Insured And Indigent Medical Patients., Edwin Daniel Boudreaux

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study found that an integrated model using variables from several psychosocial theories, including the theory of planned behavior, decisional balance theory, and self-efficacy theory, was successful in predicting smoking stage of change. Specifically, ever smokers with higher self-efficacy, higher ratings of the cons of smoking, and lower ratings of the pros were more ready to quit or had already quit. Additionally, those who rated smoking as less tempting and who reported having people in their support system who were supportive of their cessation were in later stages of change. These results point to the importance of assessing cognitions towards …

Cellulose-Reinforced Composites And Srim And Rtm Modeling., Mohammad Fahrurrozi Jan 1997

Cellulose-Reinforced Composites And Srim And Rtm Modeling., Mohammad Fahrurrozi

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Structural reaction injection molding (SRIM) cellulosic/polyurethane composites were prepared from various forms of cellulosic mats, and elastomeric polyurea-urethane (PUU) and rigid polyurethane (PU) formulations. Mats (woven and non-woven) prepared from different sources of fibers with lignin content ranging from zero (cotton) to at least 10% (sugar cane and kenaf fibers) performed comparably in PUU/cellulosic composites. Young's modulus and tensile strength of PUU/cellulosic composites were doubled with 5% and 7% fiber loading respectively. Young's modulus and tensile strength of PU/cellulosic composites were improved by 300% and 30%, respectively, with 7% fiber loading, whereas their bending moduli and strengths were improved up …

Effects Of Predator Reduction On The Survival And Movements Of Northern Shoveler Broods, John M. Zimmer May 1996

Effects Of Predator Reduction On The Survival And Movements Of Northern Shoveler Broods, John M. Zimmer

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

I studied the effects of predator removal on survival and movements of Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata) broods in the prairie pothole region of North Dakota. The study was conducted from April through August 1995. No treatment effects were found on brood survival as both 14 and 30 day survival estimates were statistically equivalent. Experimental sites had higher brood and duckling survival and produced twice as many fledglings per successful nest than control sites. Cumulative movement distance had no effect on duckling survival. While survival rates of Northern Shoveler broods and ducklings were higher than most species of prairie nesting ducks, …

Security And Rational Choice: Household, Community, And Public Provision., John Collins Kilburn Jr Jan 1996

Security And Rational Choice: Household, Community, And Public Provision., John Collins Kilburn Jr

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation examines the problem of order through an analysis of individual practices of security. Because security is a multi-dimensional issue, no unified perspective currently exists to explain security practices. Based on my analysis of data from a detailed survey of 137 residents of a Baton Rouge neighborhood, I argue that there are three main dimensions of security and each has a unique set of determinants, since individuals are contextually situated in their households, neighborhoods, and municipalities. This dissertation examines variables related to psychological, stratification, social network, and rational choice perspectives. The analysis demonstrates that although factors suggested by each …

Gender And Spousal Violence: A Test Of Social Control And Resource Theories., Deborah Marie Hanrahan Jan 1996

Gender And Spousal Violence: A Test Of Social Control And Resource Theories., Deborah Marie Hanrahan

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This research provides an explanation of spousal violence that has previously been lacking in the family violence literature--a social control approach. This research tests the hypothesis that those with stronger bonds to society will be less likely to engage in spousal violence. Furthermore, this research will incorporate the role that family structures have in stratifying social control for males and females by testing power-control theory, which suggests that women from egalitarian households of origin will be more likely to commit wife-to-husband violence than those from patriarchal households. Conversely, men from egalitarian households should be less likely to commit husband-to-wife violence …

Black Women's Listening: An Ethnography Of Listening In A Southern Inner-City Adult Learning Center., Jennifer Ann Falls

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The research investigated the phenomenon of listening in the context of adult literacy education. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe listening from the points of view of African American women who were teachers and adult learners in a welfare reform program. Using ethnography as a research methodology, this two-year study explored listening as it occurred in the Writing Class, a classroom culture that was situated in a Southern, inner-city adult learning center (Spindler & Spindler, 1982). The study investigated women's assumptions about listening, their own listening behaviors, and the behaviors they expected of listeners. An aim …

The Effects Of Performance Feedback On Treatment Integrity In School-Based Consultation., Kevin Michael Jones Jan 1996

The Effects Of Performance Feedback On Treatment Integrity In School-Based Consultation., Kevin Michael Jones

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study examined the relative effectiveness of traditional consultation, with and without performance feedback, on treatment integrity. Six teachers employed in a residential treatment community were responsible for treatment implementation. Treatment integrity was defined as the percentage of 2 min intervals during which contingent teacher attention for student on-task behavior was directly observed. Teacher and child behavior were monitored across baseline, traditional consultation, and consultation with performance feedback conditions in a multiple baseline design. In only one of six cases did mean levels of contingent teacher attention, following a Problem Identification Interview and Problem Analysis Interview (Bergan, 1977), exceed 35%. …

Restructuring In Louisiana Schools., Sharon Lee Pol

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study employs both quantitative and qualitative techniques to study the restructuring processes at the district, school, and teacher levels. The quantitative procedures include surveys used to distinguish between teachers's perceptions of highly and moderately restructured schools. Qualitative research techniques included interviews, observations, and document analysis to describe the restructuring. A new instrument, the Attributes of School Restructuring Scale (ASRS), was developed to measure teachers' knowledge about restructuring efforts and their involvement in the restructuring projects. The final version of the ASRS, included 48-items spread across three subscales: Budget/Finance, Governance/Decision-Making, and Curriculum/Instruction.

Diagnosing Adhd In Adolescence: An Analysis Of Symptom Presentation And Comorbidity., Larissa Kay Kern Jan 1996

Diagnosing Adhd In Adolescence: An Analysis Of Symptom Presentation And Comorbidity., Larissa Kay Kern

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adolescents poses a challenge for clinicians and researchers. Given the decline in hyperactivity and increased behavioral inhibition in adolescence, the differential diagnosis between ADHD and internalizing disorders becomes difficult. In addition, the high comorbidity rates found in adolescents with ADHD further complicate diagnostic decisions. The present study examines the diagnostic efficiency of the DSM-IV criteria for ADHD in a large sample of adolescents aged 11 to 17 years. The results suggest that Inattentive symptoms are more useful for classifying ADHD in adolescents than Hyperactive/Impulsive symptoms. However, Inattentive symptoms also misclassify a …

Pilot-Scale Solvent Sublation For The Removal Of Hydrophobic Compounds From Wastewaters., Jeffrey Scott Smith Jan 1996

Pilot-Scale Solvent Sublation For The Removal Of Hydrophobic Compounds From Wastewaters., Jeffrey Scott Smith

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Solvent sublation is a nonfoaming adsorptive bubble process which exploits the surface active nature of organic compounds in their removal from aqueous systems. Gas bubbles are introduced into an aqueous media and are buoyed upward to an immiscible organic solvent. As the bubbles rise, organic materials are selectively adsorbed from the aqueous phase and transported to the overlying, quiescent solvent layer. This dissertation studied three-phase, continuous solvent sublation of pyrene and pentachlorophenol from simulated wastewater at the pilot-scale. Steady-state removal efficiencies as high as 96% for pyrene and 94% for pentachlorophenol were demonstrated and were significantly greater than the corresponding …

Improved Method For Selecting Kick Tolerance During Deepwater Drilling Operations., Shiniti Ohara Jan 1996

Improved Method For Selecting Kick Tolerance During Deepwater Drilling Operations., Shiniti Ohara

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

One of the most critical aspects in the design of oil and gas wells is the selection of the depths at which steel casing is set. As the length of open borehole increases, the risk of formation fracturing during drilling operations increases. Formation fracture often leads to an underground blowout that can be very expensive to control. Because of the special problems involved in drilling deepwater well, accurately measuring the risk of formation fracture is essential. A calculated parameter called "kick tolerance" is often used to measure this risk. In this study, improved computer software specifically designed for computing kick …

Reconstructing Educational Experience: A Postmodern Perspective., Jeanne Edwards Robertson Jan 1996

Reconstructing Educational Experience: A Postmodern Perspective., Jeanne Edwards Robertson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Education in America today is dominated by the either/or thinking of modernism. This mode of thought is connected to both the concepts and methods of modern, mechanistic, Newtonian science. However, the attendant reductionistic methodology has been elevated beyond its realm of efficacy to the level of a world view, a metaphysical level. This is demonstrated by the omnipresence of the machine metaphor in all areas of human endeavor. The machine is the root metaphor of modernism. John Dewey speaks of a "new order of conceptions" necessary for significant change. These new order concepts are manifest in the new or postmodern …

Holocene To Late Pleistocene Stratigraphy Of The Mahakam Delta, Kalimantan, Indonesia., Johan C. Sydow Jan 1996

Holocene To Late Pleistocene Stratigraphy Of The Mahakam Delta, Kalimantan, Indonesia., Johan C. Sydow

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Late Pleistocene depositional cycles of the Mahakam shelf contain stratal geometries that indicate a progradational continuum, from falling stage in sea level through to initial rise. These findings contrast with popular sequence stratigraphic concepts which predict that large, rapid sea-level falls, typical of the Late Pleistocene, should result in sediment bypass of the entire shelf. The Mahakam shelf is a mixed siliciclastic-carbonate depositional setting. Extensive, thick carbonate buildups are produced by prolific green algal Halimeda bioherm accretion during transgression and highstand flooding of the shelf. The 60 by 200 km study area lies within 2$\sp\circ$ of the equator, in the …
