American Protestant Fundamentalism, 1875-1940: Its Evolution-Birth, Maturity, Near-Death, And Reincarnation, Alvin John Schilling Jan 1998

American Protestant Fundamentalism, 1875-1940: Its Evolution-Birth, Maturity, Near-Death, And Reincarnation, Alvin John Schilling

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

What began as an intra-church religious struggle by conservative evangelicals to defend the inerrancy of the Bible and the establishment of prophetic doctrines, after initial great success, expanded into secular culture and confrontations with liberalism in many of its forms, such as the teaching of evolution in public schools and the use of alcohol in society. Fundamentalists, however, could not compete with the intellectual persuasiveness and political power of either prominent liberal theologians, or the secular advocates of modernism. As an act of survival, fundamentalists terminated their confrontations with secular liberalism and withdrew from mainstream Protestant denominations. They organized strong …

Anthony Burgess's "A Clockwork Orange" And Michel Foucault's "Panopticism", Erika Dawn Brown Jan 1998

Anthony Burgess's "A Clockwork Orange" And Michel Foucault's "Panopticism", Erika Dawn Brown

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange offers a "disciplinary technology," the "Ludovico Technique," which resembles Michel Foucault's interpretation of Jeremy Bentham's architectural figure, the Panopticon. Burgess's novel functions analogously to Foucault's image of the panopticon by dehumanizing and controlling the criminal, Alex, by omniscient, omnipotent surveillance, and also by disciplining the reader to assimilate an ambiguous vernacular language: the reader is "trained" by panopticonic techniques to read and interpret the novel.

Analysis Of The Performance Of A Loop Radiator And A Spiral Applicator At Low Rf Frequencies, John M. Roman Jan 1998

Analysis Of The Performance Of A Loop Radiator And A Spiral Applicator At Low Rf Frequencies, John M. Roman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

This thesis addresses the electromagnetic analyses of two structures. The first structure, a low frequency loop antenna recommended for use by national standards on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), is incorrectly specified to have the same voltage to magnetic field conversion ratio (antenna factor) when used with a 50 ohm receiver in lieu of a high impedance type ($>$600 ohm). Two independent measurement sets were performed to demonstrate the prevailing discrepancy, and a corrected antenna factor is presented for use with a 50 ohm receiver. The second structure, a partial spiral "pancake" applicator used to generate high EM fields in its …

Atomic Displacements In Transition Metals, Nassrin Y. Moghadam Jan 1998

Atomic Displacements In Transition Metals, Nassrin Y. Moghadam

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

Using the order-N locally-self-consistent multiple scattering (LSMS) method, we carry out first-principles studies of the displacement of atoms from their average sites in the vicinity of a vacancy and transition metal impurities in copper. Our approach is to relax the first nearest neighbor distance and to calculate total energy for a number of relaxed geometries. We then obtain the equilibrium configuration of the nuclei from minimization of the total energy.

Atomic Spies: The Soviet Penetration Of The Manhattan Project's Los Alamos Laboratory, Christopher G. Cabrera Jan 1998

Atomic Spies: The Soviet Penetration Of The Manhattan Project's Los Alamos Laboratory, Christopher G. Cabrera

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

The intelligence services of the Soviet Union capitalized on several factors that facilitated their successful penetration of Los Alamos Laboratory, allowing them access to the secrets of the atomic bomb. The freedoms enjoyed in a democratic society, the appeal of communism, and the special considerations of wartime presented an environment in the United States conducive for the development and operation of Soviet spy networks. While these conditions did present the Soviets with circumstances favorable for espionage work, the foremost reason for the Soviet Union's skillful theft of atomic secrets from Los Alamos Laboratory involved the fact that they had help …

Comparative Studies Of Retinal Design Among Sea Turtles: Histological And Behavioral Correlates Of The Visual Streak, Lisa Joy Decarlo

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

We understand very little about the relationships between eye anatomy and visual ecology in sea turtles. Sea turtles use visual information in important contexts, such as selecting habitats, detecting predators, or locating mates or food. This study represents an effort to clarify the form/function relationship between retinal morphology and the behavioral ecology of sea turtle hatchlings. Thus, it is an important first step in relating sea turtle eye anatomy with visual ecology and relating the two to sea turtle natural history. Some organisms possess retinas that contain morphologically specialized cellular areas. The "visual streak," is one such area; receptor cells …

Convenient State Machine Formalism For High-Level Control Of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, Anouck Renee Girard Jan 1998

Convenient State Machine Formalism For High-Level Control Of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, Anouck Renee Girard

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

Recent successes in Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) technology have generated demand for broader, more general use of these vehicles, along with demand for longer, more complicated missions. However, AUVs are becoming more complex, and hence more difficult to program, test and maintain. A discrete event system would provide conditional execution for mission management, failure detection, and resource allocation techniques. The goal of this thesis is to provide a convenient formalism for discrete event systems that reduces the apparent complexity of the system while maintaining its robust capabilities. The chosen formalism allows the convenient representation of hierarchies of concurrent hierarchical state …

Dynamics Of Attitudes: Individual Beliefs To Cultural Norms, Helen C. Harton Jan 1998

Dynamics Of Attitudes: Individual Beliefs To Cultural Norms, Helen C. Harton

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

Dynamic social impact theory (DSIT; Latane, 1996a; 1996b), a macro-level theory of social influence, predicts that discussion will lead to a self-organization of public opinion through decreasing minority sizes, increasing spatial similarity, and emerging correlations. The catastrophe theory of attitudes (CTA; Latane & Nowak, 1994), a micro-level theory, suggests that attitudes are a joint function of issue involvement and information favorability. This paper describes the predictions leading from these theories separately and as integrated and meta-analytically combines analyses of almost 500 students discussing social and political issues over a computer network with twenty previous studies testing aspects of CTA. The …

Dinah's Voice: A Contemporary Analysis Of Genesis 34 In "What Dinah Thought" And "The Red Tent", Barbara Mehl Boxenbaum Jan 1998

Dinah's Voice: A Contemporary Analysis Of Genesis 34 In "What Dinah Thought" And "The Red Tent", Barbara Mehl Boxenbaum

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

Contrary to the generally accepted interpretation of Genesis 34 that Dinah, daughter of Jacob and Leah, was raped, What Dinah Thought, by Deena Metzger, and The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant, clearly state that Dinah loved Shechem, the man who was alleged to have raped her, and had consensual sexual relations with him. These twentieth century American novels are written in the rabbinic tradition of interpreting biblical verse, known as midrash. Metzger recreates Dinah as a contemporary Jewish woman, who travels to Israel to find and marry the reincarnated Shechem, a contemporary Arab. In contrast, Diamant imagines Dinah's life in …

Ecological Impact Of Arsenic, Chromium And Lead From Application Of Recovered Screened Material On Florida Soils, Dimitrios. Scarlatos

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

Disposal of construction and demolition (C&D) debris is a major problem. During recycling operations, the debris is passed over screens, generating what is called Recovered Screened Material (RSM). Previous analyses of RSM indicated high arsenic (As) levels. Thus, RSM is disposed in landfills in spite of the fact that natural soils may contain As levels higher than the proposed concentrations for soil clean-up goals. RSM samples were collected and analyzed from seven C&D debris recycling facilities and from other sites. The average arsenic content found in RSM ranged between residential and industrial clean-up goals. Chromium and lead levels in RSM …

Differential dijet cross sections have been measured with the ZEUS detector for photoproduction events in which the hadronic final state containing the jets is separated with respect to the outgoing proton direction by a large rapidity gap. The cross section has been measured as a function of the fraction of the photon (xγOBS) and pomeron (βOBS) momentum participating in the production of the dijet system. The observed xγOBS dependence shows evidence for the presence of a resolved-as well as a direct-photon component. The measured cross section dσ/dβOBS increases as βOBS increases indicating that there is a sizeable contribution to dijet …

Dijet cross sections are presented using photoproduction data obtained with the ZEUS detector during 1994. These measurements represent an extension of previous results, as the higher statistics allow cross sections to be measured at higher jet transverse energy (ETjet). Jets are identified in the hadronic final state using three different algorithms, and the cross sections compared to complete next-to-leading order QCD calculations. Agreement with these calculations is seen for the pseudorapidity dependence of the direct photon events with ETjet > 6 GeV and of the resolved photon events with ETjet > 11 GeV. Calculated cross sections for resolved photon processes with 6 …

Inclusive jet differential cross sections for the reaction e+p → e+ + jet + X with quasi-real photons have been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA. These cross sections are given for the photon-proton centre-of-mass energy interval 134 < W < 277 GeV and jet pseudorapidity in the range -1 < ηjet < 2 in the laboratory frame. The results are presented for three cone radii in the η - φ plane, R = 1.0, 0.7 and 0.5. Measurements of dσ/dηjet above various jet-transverse-energy thresholds up to 25 GeV and in three ranges of W are presented and compared to next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD calculations. For jets defined with R = 1.0 differences between data and NLO calculations are seen at high ηjet and low EjetT. The measured cross sections for jets defined with R = 0.7 are well described by the calculations in the entire measured range ηjet and EjetT. The inclusive jet cross section for EjetT > 21 GeV is consistent with an approximately linear variation with the cone radius R in the range between 0.5 and 1.0, and with NLO calculations.
