The Toxicity Of Cadmium To The Aquatic Amphibian, Xenopus Laevis, Sharon S. Millirons

Master's Theses

Cadmium toxicity is poorly understood but is a potentially serious environmental pollutant. This study was initiated to determine the effect of significant concentrations of cadmium on a readily available aquatic laboratory organism.

The lethal concentration (LC50) for 50 percent of I week old Xenopus laevis tadpoles was determined to be 0.1 ppm CdCI 2. For 5 week old animals, the average LC50 was determined to be 0.98 ppm. Thus, cadmium poses greater toxic threats to the early developmental stages. Moreover, these concentrations of cadmium exceed those commonly found in the nation's water supply. Histological examination suggested that the main site …

Lame Duck Theory Called Into Question, Lawrence Leonard Schack

Master's Theses

The foundations of lame duck theory, the expression connoting the study of executive/legislative relations in association with tenure constraints, are composed of broad generalizations which are generally unchallenged by political scientists. Evidence in support of this assertion is scattered throughout relevant literature, most of which centers upon the national executive, the two-term limitation imposed by the Twenty Second Amendment, and the subsequent lack of influence our country's presidents wield as their "political capital dwindles" proportionate with the temporal progress of their second term. Interestingly, while a great deal of time and energy has been devoted to the discussion of the …

Finding The Words : Negotiating Linguistic Communities In Sherley Anne Williams' Dessa Rose, Nanci M. Roberts

Master's Theses

A study of linguistic communities in Sherley Anne Williams' Dessa Rose, this thesis focuses on the relationship between cultural behavior and the use of language. Using anthropological studies on the role of language in society, as well as major criticism of the novel, this paper seeks to prove that only through equalizing linguistic power can the characters achieve a language system which accurately reflects their experience. The paper focuses on four primary communities: the unequal interracial community of Southern slave society, the slave community, the white planter community, and finally the equal interracial community that results after slavery.

My Verie Good Lorde : The Influence Of Robert Dudley, Earl Of Leicester, Jonathan Perry Weston

Master's Theses

The position of Robert Dudley as one of the most influential courtiers and statesmen during the reign of Elizabeth I originated with the affection that queen held for him. For this reason, historians have often discounted his role in Elizabethan politics and patronage. His contemporaries, however, recognized his unique status and frequently wrote him, requesting his assistance to obtain ecclesiastical and secular offices, assistance in purchasing land, and other favors. He responded successfully to many requests, and his influence with Elizabeth made him one of the most powerful nobles in England. This thesis explores the many requests addressed to Robert …
