Spatial Patterns Of Interracial Marriage In The South Atlantic United States, Sophia. Kokoros

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

Using Census data, regression analyses were performed at the state level for the South Atlantic region of the U.S. and at the Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA) level for the state of Florida to evaluate possible relationships between the dependent variable, the percentage married households interracial, and several independent variables. Only two of the independent variables examined at the state level were statistically significant: the percent black and the percentage of the population that reside in metropolitan areas. No significant relationships could be found at the PUMA level of analysis. Spatial patterns of interracial marriage were evaluated as well. The …

Study Of Black Nursing Faculty: Factors That Influenced Completion Of Graduate-Level Degrees, June Patricia Eastmond-Robinson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

Nursing education must attract qualified minorities to faculty positions in order to provide role models for students, to increase diversity, and to fulfill the need for new faculty. African-American faculties continue to be underrepresented in higher education and specifically in nursing education. The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influenced currently employed Black nursing faculty to persist in their education until completion of the Master of Science in Nursing degree. Current trends in national demographics demonstrate an increasingly diverse population. likewise, a changing health care delivery system that has mandated decreased hospital length of stay requires nurses …

Supreme Court And The Politics Of The Separation Of Powers Doctrine, Michele Lorraine Pejovic

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

The separation of powers doctrine is a pillar of American government, characterized by the separation and balancing of legislative, executive and judicial powers. Throughout its history, the Supreme Court has alternated between formalism and functionalism in its separation of powers jurisprudence. The Court relied upon a greater use of the formalistic separation of powers over a functional, balancing of governmental powers as a way to check congressional delegations of authority to administrative agencies. While conservative formalists invalidated numerous presidential initiatives and congressional delegations to agencies, liberal justices used the functional model after 1937 to uphold delegations of power until the …

Test Spaces, Nissim. Broudo

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

A Test Space is a mathematical object which models the process of scientific inquiry. We examine the motivation of defining the Test Spaces and discuss connections between the Test Spaces and Metamathematics. A variant of Test Spaces called orthogonal partitions is introduced and we draw comparisons between the two. The combinatorial problems of counting finite Test Spaces and orthogonal partitions is highlighted. Some issues in manipulating infinite Test Spaces are discussed as well.

The Role Of Symbiotic Dinoflagellates In The Temperature-Induced Bleaching Response Of Aiptasia Pallida, Santiago F. Perez

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

Bleaching of reef corals and other cnidarians symbiotic with zooxanthellae can be attributed to the stress response of the host, algae or both. To determine if zooxanthellae are involved in the bleaching process, I infected a single strain of sea anemone, Aiptasia pallida with zooxanthellae from different hosts. I measured expulsion of the algae from the host during 24-hour incubations at 25, 32 and 34C, as well as photosynthetic rates at these temperatures. Photosynthesis and expulsion of zooxanthellae were inversely and directly proportional to elevated temperatures, respectively. Photosynthesis and expulsion of zooxanthellae isolated from Condylactis gigantea showed the greatest sensitivity …

Syllable Structure And Stress Effects On Articulatory Coordination, Philip Lawrence Gleason

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

Two experiments are reported, both dealing with syllable affiliation of a consonant. The first experiment extends the work of Tuller and Kelso (1990) and was designed to capture the signatures of loss of stability in a dynamical system (enhanced fluctuations and critical slowing). An Articulograph device (Carstens Medizinelektronik GmbH.) was used to track the movements of the tongue tip, the lower lip, and the jaw in the midsagittal plane while the subjects spoke a VCC word in time to an auditory metronome at a slowly increasing rate. A clear transition occurred in the phonetics (VCC -> CVC) as judged by …

Three New Measures Of Gender Identity: Implications For Children's Psychosocial Development, Susan K. Egan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

The present dissertation introduces three new measures of gender identity and examines their relations to psychosocial adjustment (i.e., self-concept and peer acceptance) in preadolescence. The sample consisted of 182 4th- through 8th-grade children. The three measures assessed (a) feelings of overall similarity to and compatibility with one's gender (goodness-of-fit), (b) feelings of pressure to conform to sex-role stereotypes (felt pressure), and (c) belief that one's sex is superior to the other sex (intergroup bias). Both concurrent and short-term longitudinal analyses indicated that goodness-of-fit was beneficial to psychosocial adjustment, whereas both felt pressure and intergroup bias undermined psychosocial adjustment. Furthermore, goodness-of-fit …

Variability In The Venom Of Conus Regius, Alejandro. Uribe-Benninghoff

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

The venom of two different geographical populations of Conus regius has been isolated and characterized. Comparisons between the chromatographic profiles of the venom of these two populations exhibited similarities and differences among the venom's constituents. MALDI-TOF and PCR analysis techniques ratified the differences present in the venom of both populations. It is postulated that these differences could reflect the rapid adaptive nature of cone snails in an actual stage of speciation. Molecular weights of the venom's constituents were compared with those of patented conopeptides in the Swiss Protein Database. Results of this comparison indicated that a number of the peptides …

Vampire Films And The Social Construction Of Whiteness, Michael Anthony Mcqueen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

This thesis explores the manner in which whiteness is represented and constructed in Western media through analysis of six narrative films about vampires. The study hypothesizes that vampire films have been underexamined as a site of contestation over the meanings of racial differences because they have been considered a "white" genre. Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding model is used as the principal methodology, but other theories (e.g. semiotics) are used to explore the subtexts of the films. The study pays attention to the historical moment of the films' production and explores instances where race works in tandem with gender to construct Others.

Virtual Leaky Bucket For Congestion Control In High-Speed Atm Networks, Fahad A. Alfadhel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

High speed ATM networks support a variety of communication services, that have different traffic characteristics, which causes the network to be congested quickly. An ATM network with different communication services, data, voice and video, is simulated to study the effect of congestion on network operation. A modified leaky bucket mechanism is used to shape the traffic entering the network, which improved the performance in terms of cell losses and cell delay. The original leaky bucket mechanism is so conservative, that it drops a large number of ATM cells. Another scheme called virtual leaky bucket is proposed in this thesis. In …

Voice Activity Detection Over Multiresolution Subspaces, Robert Carl Schultz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

Society's increased demand for communications requires searching for techniques that preserve bandwidth. It has been observed that much of the time spent during telephone communications is actually idle time with no voice activity present. Detecting these idle periods and preventing transmission during these idle periods can aid in reducing bandwidth requirements during high traffic periods. While techniques exist to perform this detection, certain types of noise can prove difficult at best for signal detection. The use of wavelets with multi-resolution subspaces can aid detection by providing noise whitening and signal matching. This thesis explores its use and proposes a technique …

Villainous Spider And The Uebermensch: Nietzschean Paradigms In Matthew Lewis's "The Monk", Richard Scott Turner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

Matthew Lewis's The Monk portrays the catastrophic effects that sexual repression has on Ambrosio, a monk who is raised in a monastery. Lewis also demonstrates the freedom found in sexual fulfillment in the form of Matilda, the woman who seduces Ambrosio and leads him toward his final destruction. A Nietzschean critique of Christianity provides a connection between eighteenth century dissatisfaction with Roman Catholic doctrines and Nietzsche's aversion to the self-abnegation required to save the soul from eternal perdition. Ambrosio is the Nietzschean paradigm of the hypocritical ascetic, who hides his vice beneath the monkish robes of piety. Matilda, on the …

Veiled Images: Eurocentrism In "Not Without My Daughter", Deborah Cunningham Walker

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

This textual analysis of the film Not Without My Daughter examines the discourse of empire contained within this movie. Specifically, I analyze representations of Islam, Arab people, and blackness within the context of the traditional literary elements of narration as presented in the film through the use of mise en scene and cinematography. I define, identify, and analyze types of colonial discourse such as negation and affirmation. In addition, I make the argument that another type of colonial discourse at play, war-nography, defines the film within a specific genre.
