Claude Simon Et L'Espace Optique. [French Text]., Jean-Luc Briastre Jan 1990

Claude Simon Et L'Espace Optique. [French Text]., Jean-Luc Briastre

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study entails of an analysis of the visual space in certain novels of Claude Simon: La Route des Flandres, La Bataille de Pharsale, Orion aveugle, Les Corps conducteurs, Triptyque, Lecon de choses. The fragmentation of Simon's narrative makes the reader rely on the novels' imagery to establish a cohesiveness. Simon describes the formation of the image as a process akin to photographic development. For Simon, the image is, primarily, the physical impression of light particles. This first step leads to a comparison between the impressions of the form projected onto a screen (which is similar to a retina) and …

Probabilistic Analysis Of Bridge Scour Using The Principle Of Maximum Entropy., Donald Edward Barbe' Jan 1990

Probabilistic Analysis Of Bridge Scour Using The Principle Of Maximum Entropy., Donald Edward Barbe'

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The probability distribution function for floods and velocity profile in open channel flow are combined with scour theory to present a procedure for determining the risk of bridge failure due to scour. This is accomplished by deriving a probability distribution function for scour at a bridge pier. The theory of entropy and the principle of maximum entropy are used to determine the velocity profile. The constraints used in the entropy maximization are derived from the physical laws of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. A procedure to approximate the solution to the resulting equations is shown. The vertical velocity is …

The Results Of The Edict Of Toleration In The Southern Austrian Province Of Carinthia During The Reign Of Joseph Ii., Barry Royce Barlow Jan 1990

The Results Of The Edict Of Toleration In The Southern Austrian Province Of Carinthia During The Reign Of Joseph Ii., Barry Royce Barlow

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Historians have debated whether the radical reforms of the Habsburg Emperor Joseph II (1780-1790) were motivated by the spirit of Enlightenment or simply by Realpolitik. The purpose of this work is to go beyond the legal and philosophical discussion surrounding this debate; to examine the effects of one piece of legislation, the Edict of Toleration, as the government interpreted and applied it in the southern province of Carinthia; and in so doing, to provide a clearer picture of the person of the Emperor and his bureaucracy. While today's conception of toleration includes an equal recognition and respect for all rights, …

Formation And Destruction Of Nitric Oxide In Fuel-Rich Combustion: Reburning., Thomas Emmett Burch Jan 1990

Formation And Destruction Of Nitric Oxide In Fuel-Rich Combustion: Reburning., Thomas Emmett Burch

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The effect of fuel type on reburning of a simulated flue gas containing 1000 ppm of NO is studied. Stable nitrogen species concentrations are provided for reburning experiments with five fuels in a premixed, laminar flow reactor. The reactor was operated at atmospheric pressure and gave a maximum gas temperature of approximately 1100$\sp\circ$C for a residence time near 0.2 seconds. The experimental facility used to collect this data is described including a novel coal feeding device. A new gas chromatographic method used to analyze fixed-nitrogen species is described. For each of the five fuels, the fixed-nitrogen speciation as a function …

Panel Analysis: A Critical Method For Analyzing The Rhetoric Of Comic Book Form., Ralph Randolph Duncan Ii Jan 1990

Panel Analysis: A Critical Method For Analyzing The Rhetoric Of Comic Book Form., Ralph Randolph Duncan Ii

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study devises a method of rhetorical criticism, panel analysis, for the comic book medium. Panel analysis focuses on how the unique form of the comic book medium communicates content. Panel analysis consists of three components: historical context, micro analysis, and macro analysis. The historical component makes use of a humanistic historical approach to place a comic book or a body of comic book work in the contexts of the creator's personal history and the evolution of the comic book medium. These contexts provide understanding of the origins of the various formal aspects of the work(s) being studied. The micro …

A Monte Carlo Comparison Of Tests For Multivariate Normality Based On Multivariate Skewness And Kurtosis., Ronald Larry Horswell Jan 1990

A Monte Carlo Comparison Of Tests For Multivariate Normality Based On Multivariate Skewness And Kurtosis., Ronald Larry Horswell

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The assumption of multivariate normality (MVN) underlies many common parametric multivariate statistical procedures, and numerous tests have been defined for testing the assumption. Among these tests, those based on concepts of "multivariate skewness" and "multivariate kurtosis" hold special interest since they appear to test for specific types of departures from MVN. This research uses Monte Carlo simulation to compare the performance of several MVN tests which are based on various definitions of multivariate skewness and kurtosis. Specifically, the tests are Mardia's (1970) b$\sb{\rm 1,p}$ and b$\sb{\rm 2,p}$, Small's (1980) Q$\sb1$ and Q$\sb2$, and Srivastava's (1984) b$\sb{\rm 1p}$ and b$\sb{\rm 2p}$. …

Attribution Processes In Mother-Adolescent Conflict., Nancy Caryn Grace Jan 1990

Attribution Processes In Mother-Adolescent Conflict., Nancy Caryn Grace

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Because of the potentially serious consequences associated with parent-adolescent conflict, researchers have delineated variables (i.e., communication skills deficits) that might escalate conflict. Despite the theoretical support for the role of cognitive variables in parent-adolescent conflict, this area has received little research attention. In contrast, studies using adult subjects have repeatedly demonstrated a relationship between cognitive variables, (i.e., attributions) and conflict behaviors and relationship dissatisfaction. Researchers have found that distressed spouses tend to emphasize aversive spousal behaviors by attributing them to global and stable causes that reside within their spouses. Additionally, they perceive negative behavior as intentional, selfishly motivated, and blameworthy. …

An Environmental Challenge Of Body Image Disturbance In Bulimia Nervosa., Sandra Jean Mckenzie Jan 1990

An Environmental Challenge Of Body Image Disturbance In Bulimia Nervosa., Sandra Jean Mckenzie

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

An environmental challenge of body image disturbance in bulimia nervosa was investigated. A new theoretical model was proposed to define the construct of body image disturbance in terms of body image distortion, drive for thinness, and body size dissatisfaction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reactivity effects of an environmental challenge on body image disturbance in a 2 x 2 factorial design. Thirty-six females participated. Eighteen subjects had been diagnosed with bulimia nervosa and 18 subjects were selected as controls. Subjects were matched on height and weight and compared on a variety of measures related to body …

Genotypic And Phenotypic Adaptations Of The Southern Oyster Drills, Stramonita Canaliculata And S. Haemastoma Floridana To Salinity., Li-Lian Liu Jan 1990

Genotypic And Phenotypic Adaptations Of The Southern Oyster Drills, Stramonita Canaliculata And S. Haemastoma Floridana To Salinity., Li-Lian Liu

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Environmental and genetic effects on salinity adaptation in the southern oyster drill were estimated by their salinity-related genotypic (i.e. determined by electrophoresis) and phenotypic (i.e. determined by salinity tolerance and microcalorimetry) variations. The systematics of Stramonita haemastoma were studied using allozyme, radular and shell characteristics to exclude taxonomic differences which might have obscured variations in salinity adaptation. Radular and shell features are not reliable as systematic characteristics. S. h. canaliculata and S. h. floridana are separable using allozyme characteristics. Nei's genetic distance (D = 0.28) and the fixed allelic differences in Fum, LeuAla, Mdh, and 6-Pgdh indicate that the differences …

The Geology And Stratigraphic Evolution Of The North-Central Part Of The Early Archean Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa., Louise Dorothy Hose Jan 1990

The Geology And Stratigraphic Evolution Of The North-Central Part Of The Early Archean Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa., Louise Dorothy Hose

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The north-central part of the 3.5 to 3.2 Ga Barberton greenstone belt, southwest of the town of Barberton, contains both the northern and southern facies of the Swaziland Supergroup including, from base to top, the Onverwacht, Fig Tree, and Moodies Groups. The facies are divided by the Inyoka Fault, a major thrust fault that was reactivated by dextral shearing. The two facies of Fig Tree and Moodies strata appear to be laterally gradational. The Moodies Group, a 2800+ m sequence of predominantly lithic arenite, sublitharenite, and arkosic arenite was studied in four large, structurally isolated blocks in the north-central part …

The Theoretical And Empirical Implications Of Money In Asset Pricing Models With Special Reference To The Equity Premium., James Daniel Peterson Jan 1990

The Theoretical And Empirical Implications Of Money In Asset Pricing Models With Special Reference To The Equity Premium., James Daniel Peterson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation examines the role of money, monetary uncertainty, and monetary policy for the pricing of financial assets. The existing literature is extended in several ways. First, closed-form solutions for asset returns are obtained, thereby allowing analytical results to be derived. Second, nominal equity prices and returns are computed, thereby allowing problems associated with estimating inflation to be avoided. Furthermore, shifts in the money stock that result from changes in monetary regime are distinguished from those that result from changes in monetary uncertainty. The introduction of money leads to qualitative predictions about asset prices that differ from those obtained in …

Experimental Investigation Of The Longitudinal Movements Associated With Highway Bridge Joints., Herodotos Antreas Pentas Jan 1990

Experimental Investigation Of The Longitudinal Movements Associated With Highway Bridge Joints., Herodotos Antreas Pentas

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Bridge deck expansion joint systems often develop serious problems requiring extensive and expensive maintenance. This has become a nuisance to users and to bridge engineers, and many states have been involved in investigations aiming to alleviate this problem. Results reported by various states regarding the behavior of specific joint sealing systems have been contradictory, indicating that the problems may not be inherent with the particular system. Rather, the problems may stem from a failure to properly assess the actual joint movements, inadequate design criteria, improper installation procedures or other factors such as differences in environmental conditions. In recognition of these …

Role Duality As Represented In The Antiabolitionist Speeches Of James Shannon., Barry Cole Poyner Jan 1990

Role Duality As Represented In The Antiabolitionist Speeches Of James Shannon., Barry Cole Poyner

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The dissertation alleges that a speaker may juggle roles in a given rhetorical situation, what may be termed role duality. Role duality refers to a speaker's attempt to effect multiple intentions while fulfilling or partially fulfilling multiple role expectations. A purpose of this dissertation was to speculate further on the nature and function of role duality by analyzing the speeches of James Shannon. Correspondingly, another purpose was to evaluate through rhetorical criticism the pro-slavery, anti-abolitionist speeches of Shannon. Shannon (1799-1859), an evangelist in the Churches of Christ and an influential educator, delivered two principal speeches in defense of slavery: (1) …

Specific Cell Adhesion And Its Application To Monitoring And Control Of Mixed Culture Bioreactors., Joseph William Roos Jan 1990

Specific Cell Adhesion And Its Application To Monitoring And Control Of Mixed Culture Bioreactors., Joseph William Roos

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Specific cell adhesion was proposed as a means to separate and selectively remove or recycle a population in a mixed culture reactor. Theoretical analysis indicated that stable coexistence steady states of competitive mixed cultures and unstable recombinant cultures are possible with this method. Specific cell adhesion was used to separate populations of Escherichia coli based on their expression of maltoporin an outer membrane protein. This separation was possible due to maltoporin binding immobilized starch. Various methods for operating a packed bed of the immobilized starch support are reported. Operating conditions are identified that allow quantitative estimates of populations based on …

Existentialism And New England: The Poetry And Criticism Of Hayden Carruth., Anthony Jerome Robbins Jan 1990

Existentialism And New England: The Poetry And Criticism Of Hayden Carruth., Anthony Jerome Robbins

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Hayden Carruth (b. 1921) has reached an advanced stage in his distinguished career as a poet, critic, and editor without having received the critical attention which he deserves and which has been accorded many of his less able contemporaries. He is a thorough-going existentialist, a dyed-in-the-wool Yankee, and an anarchist. The study uses these characteristics to explore the importance of his poetry and the nature of his complex relations with his chosen traditions. The first three chapters describe and analyze Carruth's development book by book from 1959 to 1983. The fourth chapter, "Carruth's Existential Revisions of Walden," considers Carruth's response …

"Her Excellence To Marre": The Problem Of Feminine Authority In Spenser's "Faerie Queene"., Mary Antonia Villeponteaux Jan 1990

"Her Excellence To Marre": The Problem Of Feminine Authority In Spenser's "Faerie Queene"., Mary Antonia Villeponteaux

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Spenser has difficulty expressing an acceptable version of his queen's authority in The Faerie Queene. He must valorize her monarchy and its power, but his uneasiness about female political authority emerges throughout the text. Like the Petrarchan poet who fictionalizes his abject devotion to his lady while he also creates and so controls her through the same fiction, Spenser praises the queen's authority while at the same time he attempts to control it and contain it in the poem. This uneasy process is exemplified in the figure of Britomart: Spenser initially presents her as the near-perfect champion of Elizabeth's signature …

Formation Evaluation Using Temperature Buildup Curves., Hui Xu Jan 1990

Formation Evaluation Using Temperature Buildup Curves., Hui Xu

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation presents a formation evaluation method using the formation thermal properties (heat conductivity and volumetric heat capacity). The formation heat conductivity is determined by a modified Horner method, and the volumetric heat capacity is determined by the temperature buildup curve matching method. The comparisons show that the pressure and temperature diffusivity equations and initial and boundary conditions are similar. Therefore, the temperature diffusivity equation can be solved by a method similar to that used in solving the pressure diffusivity equation. The wellbore fluid storage effect is an important boundary condition and is considered in the solution of the temperature …

A Comparative Study Of The Effects Of Sesbania Drummondii On The Hepatic Cytochrome P-450 Monooxygenase Systems Of Chickens And Rats., Marcy Iva Banton Jan 1990

A Comparative Study Of The Effects Of Sesbania Drummondii On The Hepatic Cytochrome P-450 Monooxygenase Systems Of Chickens And Rats., Marcy Iva Banton

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The effect of an extract of Sesbania drummondii on the hepatic cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase system was evaluated in two experimental models, the White Leghorn chicken and the Sprague-Dawley rat. The cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase systems were compared using studies of catalytic activities and two major enzyme components, cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase. Two "classical" cytochrome P-450 inducers, phenobarbital and $\beta$-naphthoflavone, were used to probe induction mechanisms. S. drummondii induced opposite effects on the hepatic cytochrome P-450 component of chickens versus rats. Cytochrome P-450 specific content was increased 2-fold in chickens but decreased 2-fold in rats. Qualitative differences in microsomal proteins …

Crustal Extension In The Southern Snake Range And Vicinity, Nevada-Utah: An Integrated Geological And Geophysical Study., A. H. M. Shah Alam Jan 1990

Crustal Extension In The Southern Snake Range And Vicinity, Nevada-Utah: An Integrated Geological And Geophysical Study., A. H. M. Shah Alam

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study of late Cenozoic crustal extension in the southern Snake Range metamorphic core complex, the southern Snack and the Hamlin Valleys utilizes industry-acquired seismic data, two petroleum exploration boreholes, gravity data and surface geology of the adjacent ranges. Isotopic age determinations from outcropping igneous rocks were used to date the structural and tectonic events. The dominant structural elements of the southern Snake and the Hamlin Valleys are relatively young ($<$17 Ma), and are north-south striking, planar normal faults and associated half-grabens. The valleys are separated by an east-west striking accommodation zone and evolved independently by temporal and spatial interference and superposition of half-grabens. Progressive thickening of basin-fill sequences towards the bounding normal faults within each half-graben suggest semi-continuous slip along the bounding faults; interruptions are represented by angular unconformities which define three seismic sequences above the volcanic unit. K-Ar age determinations of 34 and 26 Ma from volcanic rocks in the Needles Range are correlated with the bottom and top of the volcanic unit; this volcanism was followed by inception of basin formation recorded by the oldest valley-fill sequence. The geometry of the oldest valley-fill sequence indicates that it continued to the west but is now eroded as the Snake Range core complex was uplifted. The intermediate valley-fill sequence records a major stage of tectonism synchronous with displacement along the Snake Range Decollement in the southern Snake Range between 17-18 Ma. Deposition of the youngest valley-fill sequence began at 10 Ma synchronously with a 45$\sp\circ$ change in the regional extension direction. A late-stage (Late Cenozoic) uplift was recognized in the south-east corner of the Snake Range core complex as a top lap in the seismic data and as a previously recognized unconformity in the outcrop separating angular, older Tertiary conglomerates from flat-lying younger conglomerates on top. Late-stage, local uplifts, as results of disruption of a previously bent elastic plate by normal faults and of differential deformation of various components of a heterogeneous crust in response to bending stress, superpose broad, regional uplifts and explain the total uplift in the Snake Range metamorphic core complex.

Failed Or Failing Lending Institutions Behavior And Implications For The Pricing Of Mortgages., Quang Vinh Do Jan 1990

Failed Or Failing Lending Institutions Behavior And Implications For The Pricing Of Mortgages., Quang Vinh Do

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

As of 1989 more than one-fifth of the nation's federally insured saving and loans institutions have negative net worth. Very little is known, however, about their pricing behavior of financial assets. Most of the existing literature has focused on whether insolvent institutions bid up their cost of funds. The asset pricing issue of insolvent institutions has not been examined in the mortgage literature. This dissertation extends the literature by examining whether failed or failing saving and loan institutions offer their conventional fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgages at a discount relative to solvent institutions. A theoretical argument for the underpricing proposition is …

Individual Motives For Campaign Giving., Sheldon D. Beychok Jan 1990

Individual Motives For Campaign Giving., Sheldon D. Beychok

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The basic assumptions of this study are that individual contributors to campaigns are motivated by a desire to enhance their self-esteem through access, acquired through giving, and that large givers exhibit behavior that indicates a greater desire for access. Large givers exhibit such behavior to a significantly greater extent than moderate or small givers, and seek "status" by giving for other than politically-explicit reasons. It is hypothesized that: (I) All contributors have a greater sense of political efficacy and greater trust in government than the general public. (II) Individuals contribute as a result of conventional, acceptable motives, which are: (1) …

Isolation And Physical Mapping Of The Mitochondrial Chromosome From The Zygomycete Mucor Racemosus., Mary Louise Schramke Jan 1990

Isolation And Physical Mapping Of The Mitochondrial Chromosome From The Zygomycete Mucor Racemosus., Mary Louise Schramke

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Mitochondria were isolated from Mucor racemosus and DNA was purified from these organelles by cesium chloride/ethidium bromide isopycnic centrifugation. Examination of mitochondrial DNA samples with a transmission electron microscope revealed a circular mitochondrial chromosome approximately 63.8 kbp in length. Summation of restriction fragments of mitochondrial DNA separated by agarose gel electrophoresis yielded a comparable value of 63.4 kbp for the size of the intact molecule. Electrophoretic mobility and stoichiometry were determined for restriction fragments generated using nine different restriction enzymes. A physical map was deduced from single and double digestions of mitochondrial DNA with several of the restriction enzymes. The …

A New Approach To Analyzing High-Resolution Aerial Photographs Of Urban Areas., Timothy Dwayne Phillips Jan 1990

A New Approach To Analyzing High-Resolution Aerial Photographs Of Urban Areas., Timothy Dwayne Phillips

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation proposes a new approach for analyzing high resolution aerial photographs of urban areas. Analyzing aerial photographs is the process of constructing an overall description of a scene. It involves knowledge of visual sensors, computing systems, artificial intelligence, software engineering, and perceptual psychology. Researchers have had only limited success in this area. This dissertation considers a high level analysis approach. Most aerial photograph interpretation systems concentrate on analyzing an airport, roadway, or urban scene. Those systems, however, do not explain how they know they were examining such a scene. This dissertation concentrates on how to reach that point. It …

Coronary Heart Disease, Negative Affectivity, And Response Bias., Sharon Elaine Alcock Parisi Jan 1990

Coronary Heart Disease, Negative Affectivity, And Response Bias., Sharon Elaine Alcock Parisi

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between negative affectivity, a broad band construct of negative emotions, and coronary heart disease. It was hypothesized the relation had been obscured in previous research by the tendency of some subjects to underreport negative affects. To test this hypothesis, 78 male cardiac patients between to ages of 37 and 65, who had undergone cardiac arteriography procedures within the previous 6 months, were given the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale Short Form (TMAS-S; Bendig, 1956) and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale Form C (MCSD-C; Reynolds, 1982). In a series of multiple regression …

Studying The Iceberg From Its Tip: A Comparison Of Published And Unpublished Employment Discrimination Cases, Peter Siegelman, John J. Donohue Iii Jan 1990

Studying The Iceberg From Its Tip: A Comparison Of Published And Unpublished Employment Discrimination Cases, Peter Siegelman, John J. Donohue Iii

Faculty Articles and Papers

Researchers often rely on published opinions to draw conclusions about cases decided by the courts, determinants of court decisions, and broader social phenomena. We demonstrate that 80 to 90 percent of employment discrimination cases filed in federal court do not produce a published opinion. There are good theoretical reasons to believe that the process generating a published opinion is not random and thus that samples of published cases will not be representative of all cases. Through a direct comparison of published and unpublished cases, we show that the two actually do differ in significant and predictable ways. Examining several studies …
