Identity And Image: A Miss America Case Study, Melissa C. Connell

Theses and Dissertations

Through brochure copy and other communication channels, such as electronic media, organizations strive to effectively echo the company's beliefs, attitudes and values. Target audiences perceive the company in certain ways based on this media projection. Sometimes the image a company believes it has established is far different from the one the public sees.

As organizations aim to achieve this identity/image alliance, critics assert that the Miss America Organization has failed to meet the stated standards. In recent years, the Miss America Organization has received criticism from former contestants, politicians, feminist groups and some of its 80 million viewers for its …

Putative Light Scalar Nonet, Joseph Schechter, Deirdre Black, Amir H. Fariborz, Francesco Sannino

Physics - All Scholarship

We investigate the "family" relationship of a possible scalar nonet composed of the a_0(980), the f_0(980) and the \sigma and \kappa type states found in recent treatments of \pi\pi and \pi K scattering. We work in the effective Lagrangian framework, starting from terms which yield "ideal mixing" according to Okubo's original formulation. It is noted that there is another solution corresponding to dual ideal mixing which agrees with Jaffe's picture of scalars as qq\bar q \bar q states rather than as q\bar q states. At the Lagrangian level there is no difference in the formulation of the two cases (other …

Integrating The Nation's Environmental Monitoring And Research Networks And Programs, James R. Gosz, Pete Murdoch

Long Term Ecological Research Network

An Exercise to Demonstrate the Value of Index Areas in a National Network: A Report Prepared for the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).

The Environmental Monitoring Team, a team of Federal scientists and program managers, was convened by the CENR Steering Committee and given the charge "to develop a national framework for integration and coordination of environmental monitoring and related research through collaboration and building upon existing networks and programs". Two of the recommendations for a National Environment Monitoring Framework were; 1) evaluate alternatives for selecting the number and distribution of "index areas", including stratification by ecoregion in …

Quadrilaterals Subdivided By Triangles In The Hyperbolic Plane, Dawn M. Haney, Lori T. Mckeough

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

In this paper, we consider triangle-quadrilateral pairs in the hyperbolic plane which “kaleidoscopically” tile the plane simultaneously. These tilings are called divisible tilings or subdivided tilings. We restrict our attention to the simplest case of divisible tilings, satisfying the corner condition, in which a single triangle occurs at each vertexof the quadrilateral. All possible such divisible tilings are catalogued as well as determining the minimal genus surface on which the divisible tiling exists. The tiling groups of these surfaces are also determined.

Ballistic Transport In Ultrathin Films With Random Rough Walls, A. E. Meyerovich, S. Stepaniants

Physics Faculty Publications

We calculated transport coefficients in thin films in which the particle wavelength is comparable to the thickness of the film, and the motion across the film is quantized. The perturbative calculations are analytical almost to the very end, and result in explicit transparent expressions for the transport coefficients via the correlation function of surface inhomogeneities, density of particles, and film thickness. The final results are given for Gaussian correlations of the surface inhomogeneities. The discrete nature of the spectrum leads to a non-analyticity of transport coefficients as a function of particle density and film thickness, especially for degenerate fermions. Surface …

Semi-Automated Extraction Of Digital Objective Prism Spectra, Coryn A.L. Bailer-Jones, Ted Von Hippel, Mike Irwin

Publications

We describe a method for the extraction of spectra from high dispersion objective prism plates. Our method is a catalogue driven plate solution approach, making use of the Right Ascension and Declination coordinates for the target objects. In contrast to existing methods of photographic plate reduction, we digitize the entire plate and extract spectra off-line. This approach has the advantages that it can be applied to CCD objective prism images, and spectra can be re-extracted (or additional spectra extracted) without having to re-scan the plate. After a brief initial interactive period, the subsequent reduction procedure is completely automatic, resulting in …

Criticizing The Schools: Then And Now, Benjamin Levin

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Schools in many countries are facing intense and elevated levels of criticism, with much debate over whether the criticism is merited. Much of the criticism embodies a view that things used to be better years ago, when schools were not prey to the many defects they are alleged to show today. Recollections of the past may hide a mixed reality. In this article, criticisms of education from 1957 are compared with contemporary criticisms.

Faculty Publications

We have searched for the production of a selectron and a squark in e+p collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 300 GeV using the ZEUS detector at HERA. The selectron and squark are sought in the direct decay into the lightest neutralino in the framework of supersymmetric extensions to the Standard Model which conserve R-parity. No evidence for the production of supersymmetric particles has been found in a data sample corresponding to 46.6 pb-1 of integrated luminosity. We express upper limits on the product of the cross section times the decay branching ratios as excluded regions in the parameter space …

Evidence For A Galactic Γ-Ray Halo, Dieter H. Hartmann, D. D. Dixon, E. D. Kolaczyk, J. Samimi, R. Diehl, G. Kanbach, H. Mayer-Hasselwander, A. W. Strong

Publications

We present quantitative statistical evidence for a γ-ray emission halo surrounding the Galaxy. Maps of the emission are derived. EGRET data were analyzed in a wavelet-based non-parametric hypothesis testing framework, using a model of expected diffuse (Galactic + isotropic) emission as a null hypothesis. The results show a statistically significant large scale halo surrounding the center of the Milky Way as seen from Earth. The halo flux at high latitudes is somewhat smaller than the isotropic γ-ray flux at the same energy, though of the same order (O(10−7–10−6) ph cm−2 s−1 sr−1 above 1 GeV).

The Tubular Phase Of Self-Avoiding Anisotropic Crystalline Membranes, Mark Bowick, Alex Travesset

Physics - All Scholarship

We analyze the tubular phase of self-avoiding anisotropic crystalline membranes. A careful analysis using renormalization group arguments together with symmetry requirements motivates the simplest form of the large-distance free energy describing fluctuations of tubular configurations. The non-self-avoiding limit of the model is shown to be exactly solvable. For the full self-avoiding model we compute the critical exponents using an epsilon-expansion about the upper critical embedding dimension for general internal dimension D and embedding dimension d. We then exhibit various methods for reliably extrapolating to the physical point (D=2,d=3). Our most accurate estimates are nu=0.62 for the Flory exponent and zeta=0.80 …
