Failed Or Uneven Discourse Of State Constitutionalism?: Governmental Structure And State Constitutions, Jeffrey A. Parness Jan 1992

Failed Or Uneven Discourse Of State Constitutionalism?: Governmental Structure And State Constitutions, Jeffrey A. Parness

Faculty Articles, Papers, and Other Scholarship

ln his Michigan Law Review article, "The Failed Discourse of State Constitutionalism," Professor James A. Gardner examines the responses to Justice Brennan's invitation to state high courts "to seize control of the protection of constitutional rights by looking to state constitutions as potentially more generous guarantors of individual rights than the U.S. Constitution." He finds the responses in the "voluminous body of commentary" by "distinguished state jurists" and "prolific academics" to be "extraordinarily optimistic about the prospects for state constitutional law . . . not only to meet Justice Brennan's challenge, but to fulfill the promise of a genuinely federal …

Codependency Issues In Selected Contemporary American Plays., Jill Stapleton Bergeron Jan 1992

Codependency Issues In Selected Contemporary American Plays., Jill Stapleton Bergeron

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Codependency is defined in this study as a disease characterized by individual adult inability to function in everyday life, in particular regards to personal relationships with others, in a healthy and self-loving manner. The study points to the works of several prominent theorists and practitioners in this field, such as John Bradshaw, Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse, Anne Wilson Schaef, and John and Linda Friel, as authoritative resource material on the subject. Being progressive in nature, codependency eventually leads to a host of severe personality and physical disorders, and usually to some form of suicide. The study points to abusive treatment in childhood--either …


Cultural Studies And The Multicultural Curriculum., Mary Susan Huddleston Edgerton Jan 1992

Cultural Studies And The Multicultural Curriculum., Mary Susan Huddleston Edgerton

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Although some of the most recent work in the field of multicultural education has acknowledged and begun to theorize about what has been called the new cultural politics of difference, problems concerning the very notions of marginality, boundaries, and their accompanying "essentialist" thought remain undertheorized. It is my intention to bring discussions about marginality and essentialism from literary theory, feminist psychoanalytic theory and poststructuralist philosophy more explicitly into the conversation about multicultural curriculum theorizing. In this study I have attempted to further develop this conversation around notions of "translation" as generated by philosophers Michel Serres (1982) and John Rajchmann (1991) …


Making The Secular Sacred: An Analysis Of Linguistic Devices Used To Give Religious Perspective To Ordinary Events., Wayne Porter Gregory Jan 1992

Making The Secular Sacred: An Analysis Of Linguistic Devices Used To Give Religious Perspective To Ordinary Events., Wayne Porter Gregory

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

It has been suggested that human beings do not possess social reality so much as they actively and cooperatively construct it by means of language in interaction with others. The manipulation of symbols, the creation of inferences, the posturing of one's personal identity all work together to enable participants (both speakers and hearers) in a given speech event to create social reality and reaffirm and maintain their social relationships. In religious speech communities, like the one investigated in this study, participants seek to create a different kind of social reality--one that encompasses all of the individual and corporate experiences of …


Soot Suppressing Mechanisms Of Iron In Premixed Hydrocarbon Flames., David Worthington Hahn Jan 1992

Soot Suppressing Mechanisms Of Iron In Premixed Hydrocarbon Flames., David Worthington Hahn

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

In-situ light scattering measurements are combined with chemical analysis of sampled soot particles to elucidate the mechanisms through which iron addition affects soot formation and growth processes in fuel-rich, premixed propane and oxygen flames. Soot particle optical inhomogeneity resulting from the addition of iron is accounted for in the light scattering analysis using an effective refractive index model. The influence of iron addition on soot particle diameters, number densities, volume fractions, surface areas, and specific growth rates is investigated. In addition, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to determine the chemical state of iron species throughout the flame. The analysis revealed …


Incorporating Reservoir Characteristics For Automatic History Matching., Keith J. Halford Jan 1992

Incorporating Reservoir Characteristics For Automatic History Matching., Keith J. Halford

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Automatic history matching is refined in this work by expanding the objective function and incorporating reservoir characteristics in the process of parameter selection. Iso-value contours are used to incorporate reservoir characteristics within history-matching parameters. These improvements are implemented in an automatic history-matching algorithm, OPTIM, that is coupled with BOAST II. Case histories of both hypothetical and real reservoirs demonstrated the effectiveness of incorporating reservoir characteristics in automatic history-matching parameters.


Development Of Various Quantitative And Analytical Methods For The Analysis Of The Dynamics Of Fish Populations: An Application To The Spotted Seatrout Population In Coastal Louisiana., Thomas Earl Helser Jan 1992

Development Of Various Quantitative And Analytical Methods For The Analysis Of The Dynamics Of Fish Populations: An Application To The Spotted Seatrout Population In Coastal Louisiana., Thomas Earl Helser

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Presented in this dissertation are analytical and quantitative methods developed for an experimental gillnet sampling program for the analysis of the dynamics of fish populations, illustrated here on Louisiana's spotted seatrout population. Chapter 1 presents a new method of estimating gillnet selectivity using a system of simultaneous equations and a non-linear iterative maximum likelihood approach. The model solution is a set of parameter estimates which mathematically describe the response surface of capture probabilities for fish of size-class j in mesh size i. As an extension to the nonlinear maximum likelihood gillnet selectivity model, Chapter 2 presents a second approach using …


Chemical And Immunological Properties Of Polysaccharide Extracted From Vibrio Parahaemolyticus., Mina Jassemzadeh Izadjoo Jan 1992

Chemical And Immunological Properties Of Polysaccharide Extracted From Vibrio Parahaemolyticus., Mina Jassemzadeh Izadjoo

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was extracted from agar grown cells and purified by ethanol precipitation, hi-speed centrifugation and chromatography on Sepharose CL-4B and Detoxi columns. The CPS was found to be acidic when chromatographed on DEAE cellulose. The three constituting sugars were determined by gas-liquid chromatography to be glucose, galactose and fucose. The molecular weight of CPS is one million or greater and in its pure form appeared to be non-immunogenic for rabbits. A monoclonal antibody (Mab) reactive by ELISA to CPS was generated. The Mab agglutinated whole cell suspensions in the slide test. Latex beads armed …


Genetic And Systematic Study Of Viviparus Georgianus (Lea), A Freshwater Snail Species Complex., Masaya Katoh Jan 1992

Genetic And Systematic Study Of Viviparus Georgianus (Lea), A Freshwater Snail Species Complex., Masaya Katoh

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Genetic and morphological variation were studied in a brooding (ovoviviparous) and morphologically variable freshwater snail (Viviparus georgianus (Lea)) in the southeastern United States. Eleven populations were clustered into three genetically isolated, allopatric species characterized by 7 to 15 diagnostic loci out of the 38 loci examined. These allopatric species were an eastern species (in eastern and southern Florida), a western species (in the Florida panhandle), and a central species in the Ochlockonee River. Nei's standard genetic distances between species were large (0.23-0.52) compared to within-species distances (0.00-0.06). Moreover, genetic distances between the Ochlockonee River species and other species were larger …


Three Essays On International Linkages Of The Korean Economy., Jai-Ki Lee Jan 1992

Three Essays On International Linkages Of The Korean Economy., Jai-Ki Lee

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation consists of three essays. The first essay investigates whether the long run version of purchasing power parity (PPP) holds between Korea and its two major trading partners--the U.S. and Japan. The PPP relationship is examined using cointegration tests, which are proper to see the departures from the long run equilibrium. The second essay examines the empirical relationship between real exchange rates and interest rate differentials in the Korean-U.S. as well as the Korean-Japanese economies. This relationship is also examined using cointegration tests. The third essay examines how foreign economic shocks affect the Korean economy and analyzes the channels …


Diagnostic Techniques For Detection Of Permethrin-Resistant Soybean Loopers, Pseudoplusia Includens (Walker), Determination Of The Impact Of Insecticide Treatments On Age-Specific Mortality And Feeding Activity, And Estimation Of Field Control., Jeffrey Scott Mink Jan 1992

Diagnostic Techniques For Detection Of Permethrin-Resistant Soybean Loopers, Pseudoplusia Includens (Walker), Determination Of The Impact Of Insecticide Treatments On Age-Specific Mortality And Feeding Activity, And Estimation Of Field Control., Jeffrey Scott Mink

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A glass vial bioassay was developed to detect permethrin resistance in soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens (Walker), larvae. Third, fourth, fifth, and sixth instar soybean loopers from laboratory (susceptible) and field strains were exposed to several concentrations of permethrin in 20 ml glass vials. LC$\sb{50}$'s for third, fourth, and fifth instars from each field strain were not significantly different. A discriminating concentration of 0.5 $\mu$g permethrin per vial was identified for detection of permethrin resistance in soybean looper field populations. Field strains from cotton-soybean agroecosystems exhibited higher levels of resistance than strains from soybean-corn agroecosystems. The reliability of the vial bioassay …
