The Narrative Creation Of Self In The Fiction By African-American And African-Caribbean Women Writers., Jerome P. De Romanet
The Narrative Creation Of Self In The Fiction By African-American And African-Caribbean Women Writers., Jerome P. De Romanet
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study entails an examination of the works of six authors (Maya Angelou, Audre Lorde, Paule Marshall, Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor and Simone Schwarz-Bart) whose works are shaped by values and perceptions influenced by their experiences of sexual, racial and social marginalization. While I acknowledge differences in origin, beliefs and personality, I explore the common ground which unites them, and more specifically the complex ties that bind their individual "writing I" with their environment--"communitas," to use Victor Turner's term. This study is also an exploration of the modes in which these six writers create their idiosyncratic selves out of the …
The Eating Disorders Diagnostic Inventory (Eddi): The Development Of A New Assessment Instrument., Cecilia Jo Davis
The Eating Disorders Diagnostic Inventory (Eddi): The Development Of A New Assessment Instrument., Cecilia Jo Davis
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The area of eating disorders have been intensively by both the psychological and medical researchers over the last two decades. Differential diagnosis of the four most prevalent eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, compulsive overeating, and the non-binging obese) continues to be a problem for both researchers and clinicians. Diagnosis of these disorders has been complicated by the many changes in diagnostic criteria for each of the disorders. One consequence of these frequent changes is that there is no single self-report inventory for differential diagnosis which is based on currently accepted diagnostic criteria. The purpose of this study was the …
Exterior Vertices In Graphs And Realization Of Plurality Preference Digraphs., Weizhen Gu
Exterior Vertices In Graphs And Realization Of Plurality Preference Digraphs., Weizhen Gu
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Part I: Peripheral and eccentric vertices of graphs. For a connected graph G, let P(G) and EC(G) denote the sets of peripheral vertices and eccentric vertices of G, respectively. In 1988 F. Buckley initiated the study of the class S of graphs G for which P(G) = EC(G). We provide several families of graphs which are in S. For certain graphs G with diameter equal to 2r(G) or 2r(G) or 2r(G) $-$ 1, we give criteria for P(G) and EC(G) to be equal. Also, for certain products, we characterize those pairs of graphs so that their product is in S. …
Some Problems For Graph Minors., Bradley Scott Gubser
Some Problems For Graph Minors., Bradley Scott Gubser
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This dissertation solves two problems relating to the structure of graphs. The first of these is motivated by Kuratowski's Theorem, perhaps the most famous result in graph theory. This theorem states the $K\sb5$ and K$\sb{3,3}$ are the only non-planar graphs for which both $G\\ e$, the deletion of the edge e, and G/e, the contraction of the edge e, are planar for all edges e of G. We characterize the non-planar graphs for which $G\\ e$ or G/e is planar for all edges e of G. The second problem we solve is motivated by Tutte's wheels theorem. An immediate consequence …

Popular Participation And Farming Systems Research And Extension--Examining The Central Visayas Regional Project 1 In Bohol, Philippines., Jonathan Manning Hubchen
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The Central Visayas Regional Project 1 (CVRP) in the Philippines uses a Farming Systems Research and Extension (FSR&E) approach which addresses the interrelated components facing the rural household system. A major principle of FSR&E is local participation. This study was conducted to measure the level of popular participation in a CVRP "working area". The study measured local performance and importance of activities relating to the planning, execution, and evaluation of CVRP projects as perceived by beneficiaries. It determined which of the participation activities had a higher score for perceived importance than for perceived performance. Then it determined the relationship between …
Design Of A Two-Stage Procedure For Three-Class Screening., Chungtae Kim
Design Of A Two-Stage Procedure For Three-Class Screening., Chungtae Kim
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
A two-stage screening procedure is developed for a situation where the items can be sold in one of two markets, or scrapped. The item's selling price and product specifications differ for each market. In the first stage of the screening procedure, each item is inspected on a surrogate variable that is correlated with the performance variable of interest. If a decision is not reached at this point, the item is subjected to a second-stage inspection on a performance variable. A loss in selling price is incurred by the producer when an item that meets the specifications of a higher-price market …

An Exploratory Study Of Self-Efficacy's Network Of Relationships., Ginger Kay Kendell-Brainard
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study explored the construct of self-efficacy and provided information about its relationships with intelligence, academic achievement, social skills, and family variables. Specifically, a correlational analysis examined the associations with academic and social self-efficacy, intelligence, academic achievement, and social skills. Exploratory univariate analyses investigated whether self-efficacy beliefs differed for students with varying family structures. Multiple regression analyses were utilized to determine significant predictors of self-efficacy. The results of the analyses indicated that academic self-efficacy was significantly correlated with intelligence, three areas of academic achievement, and social skills. Social self-efficacy was significantly correlated with social skills and two areas of academic …

The Influence Of Prior Performance, Slack, And Top Management Turnover On Divestiture And Subsequent Firm Performance., James Wilburn Logan Jr
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This research is an investigation of the influence of contextual factors on a multidivisional firm's decision to divest an entire business unit, and the effects of that divestiture on firm operating performance, market performance, and organizational slack generation and usage. Contextual influences and outcomes are assessed for a sample of 102 U.S. based firms representing 43 different industries, as defined by primary four-digit Standard Industry Classification (SIC). This research drew on prior research in strategic management, finance, and organizational theory to develop an integrated model of firm-level influences on divestiture and determine if those influences can be used to predict …
The Development Of The Toddler Behavior Screening Inventory., Paula Yvette Mouton
The Development Of The Toddler Behavior Screening Inventory., Paula Yvette Mouton
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this study was to develop a Toddler Behavior Screening Inventory (TBSI) to rapidly assess maternal-perceived toddler behavior problems. The TBSI is a 40-item socially valid measure intended for use in clinical settings as it will aid child care professionals in planning parent-child intervention strategies. Empirical methods were followed to construct the TBSI. The item pool was generated primarily by 187 mothers with toddlers and relevant professionals. Items were reviewed and formatted before 312 mothers rated the initial 93-item TBSI in terms of behavior frequency and problem severity in order to eliminate items. Forty items were retained based …
Habitat Use, Movements, And Behavior Of Shiny Cowbirds In Southwestern Puerto Rico., Paul Michael Mckenzie
Habitat Use, Movements, And Behavior Of Shiny Cowbirds In Southwestern Puerto Rico., Paul Michael Mckenzie
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Shiny Cowbirds were primarily located in six major areas of concentration. Of these, all but one was in mesquite woodland. Overall, cowbirds used mesquite woodland almost 75% of the time but use of this habitat varied among weekly periods and was linked to rainfall received during weekly periods prior to the observation. Habitat use of cowbirds and the time they spent eating particular prey items were most correlated with total rainfall received 2-5 weeks prior to the observation (p =.0067 and p =.0149, respectively). Major food items taken by cowbirds following periods of sufficient rainfall were caterpillars, berries and grass …

Barrier Island Evolution, Delta Plain Development, And Chenier Plain Formation In Louisiana., Patrick Shea Penland
Barrier Island Evolution, Delta Plain Development, And Chenier Plain Formation In Louisiana., Patrick Shea Penland
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Coastal Louisiana has long served as a laboratory for delta and chenier plain research due to the presence of North America's largest river, the Mississippi. The development and preservation of transgressive depositional systems in abandoned delta complexes follows the process of transgressive submergence in which the horizontal component of reworking occurs during shoreface retreat, combined with a vertical component of submergence acting to preserve the sequence. The evolution of transgressive depositional systems in each of the abandoned Holocene Mississippi River delta complexes can be summarized in a three-stage model beginning with stage 1, an erosional headland and flanking barriers; stage …
