Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This research examines significant design and map development issues in development of digital and virtual campus maps for West Virginia University. The theoretical frameworks of traditional cartography and digital mapping technologies reveal the interconnections between the elements of good map design and the complexities of mapping in the digital environment. The development of the campus maps for this research are part of a project that represents a working agreement between West Virginia University and the West Virginia State GIS Technical Center. Background information on the campus map project is presented to place the project in context and to illustrate the …

Grassroots Organizations And Gis: Assessing The Role Of Geographical Information And Gis In Grassroots Watershed Organizations In West Virginia., Jessica L. Spicer

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

A growing number of organizations, especially “grassroots” organizations are seeking to make use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and geographical information. In most cases, however, the use and potential use or benefits of GIS for “grassroots” organizations have been far from realized. The overall goal of this project is to explore grassroots awareness of, understanding of, use of, and proposed use of GIS for assessing watershed issues and to do this in the context of the issue raised by the GIS and society debate. The use of four West Virginia watershed case studies served to identify some of the major …

Cellular Towers And Community Land-Use Issues: A Case Study Of Harpers Ferry And Jefferson County, West Virginia., Sherry Lee Kelly

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Since the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, communities all over have found themselves caught up in a land-use controversy over the siting of cellular towers and antennas. One community in particular, Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, found itself fighting over a tower that threatened the town’s historical and cultural landscapes. This research presents the controversy over cellular tower siting and examines Harpers Ferry’s unique situation, concerns, and ultimate victory over governing forces. It also examines the broader themes that continue to stir controversy in the town whose scenery and beauty was deemed by Thomas Jefferson to be “worth a …

Evidence For Fluvial-Controlled Coal Deposition In The Upper Tongue River Member (Fort Union Formation, Paleocene) Powder River Basin, Wyoming., Coen Michael Bauders

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Recent exploration in the Powder River basin has targeted shallow, coal-bed methane, and basin reserves may be as high as 39 trillion cubic feet. Both coal and sandstone beds serve as target methane reservoirs; however, the thick, persistent nature of the upper Tongue River Member coals makes them easier to correlate and map than any sandstone body. Correlating these coals and considering the differential compaction model for shallow structural development may help shed light on recognizable patterns in clastic-sediment and coal distribution. This study had a threefold purpose: (1) establish a regional stratigraphic framework for the upper Tongue River Member …

A Comparison Of The Profiles Of Successful And Unsuccessful Candidates For College Presidencies In The State College System Of West Virginia., Marie Ellen Carter

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Candidates (N = 609) for six presidencies in the State College System of West Virginia between 1995 and 1998 were studied and a comparison was made between successful candidates (n = 93) and unsuccessful candidates (n = 516). Successful candidates were defined as those who were judged by the search and screening committees to be best qualified to be interviewed. Candidate application packets and search committee records were the source of data. Independent variables included positions held by candidates at the time of application, baccalaureate graduation dates, education levels, major fields of graduate study, gender, and locations at the time …

Secession, War And Rebirth: The Civil War In West Virginia's South Branch Valley Of The Potomac., Stephen Garth Smith

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

West Virginia's South Branch Valley of the Potomac River played a crucial, but little studied, role in the American Civil War. Writing of the August 7, 1864, Battle of Moorefield, historian Robert K. Krick has noted that it “has received far less attention than it deserves.” In this work, it will be demonstrated that not only the August 7, 1864, Battle of Moorefield, but the conflict in the region in general is deserving of in-depth study. The geographic location and the plantation culture of the South Branch Valley favored its political and economic connection to Confederate eastern Virginia. Nevertheless, with …

Comparative Law As A Comprehensive Approach: A European Tribute To Professor Jack A. Hiller, Bernhard Grossfield

Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business

An aura of "malaise" hangs over the field of Comparative Law'- sometimes alluded to as the "drama" of Comparative Law (private and public). Indeed, the comparative scholar is often asked whether his work has any practical importance. This is the question he fears most. A German legal philosopher once criticized the whole approach as follows: "Nobody asks what comparative law is and how it should be pursued. Thus, it is less to build a new structure from the laws compared, but to leave an accumulation of raw bricks in a heap that will never be used." Still today it is …

Genetic Variation In Pneumocystis Carinii Isolates From Different Geographic Regions: Implications For Transmission, Charles B. Beard, Jane L. Carter, Scott P. Keely, Laurence Huang, Norman J. Pieniazek, Iaci N. S. Moura, Jacquelin M. Roberts, Allen W. Hightower, Michelle S. Bens, Amanda R. Freeman, Sherline Lee, James R. Stringer, Jeffrey S. Duchin, Carlos Del Rio, David Rimland, Robert P. Baughman, Deborah A. Levy, Vance J. Dietz, Paul Simon, Thomas R. Navin

Journal Articles: Epidemiology

To study transmission patterns of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in persons with AIDS, we evaluated P. carinii isolates from patients in five U.S. cities for variation at two independent genetic loci, the mitochondrial large subunit rRNA and dihydropteroate synthase. Fourteen unique multilocus genotypes were observed in 191 isolates that were examined at both loci. Mixed infections, accounting for 17.8% of cases, were associated with primary PCP. Genotype frequency distribution patterns varied by patients' place of diagnosis but not by place of birth. Genetic variation at the two loci suggests three probable characteristics of transmission: that most cases of PCP do …

Improved Land Management In The Lake Victoria Basin: Linking Land And Lake, Research And Extension, Catchment And Lake Basin, Keith Shepherd, Markus Walsh, Fridah Mugo, Chin Ong, Tina Svan-Hansen, Brent Swallow, Alex Awiti, Mwangi Hai, David Nyantika, David Ombalo, Martin Grunder, Francis Mbote, David Mungai

East Africa Institute

Lake Victoria is of immense economic and environmental importance in the eastern and central African region. The lake is the largest freshwater body in the tropics and its basin supports one of the densest and poorest rural populations in the world. About 21 million people rely primarily on subsistence agricultural and pastoral production for their livelihoods. But pervasive poverty has hindered sustainable use of the land resources and there has already been considerable land degradation. There is little doubt that sedimentation and nutrient run-off, urban and industrial point source pollution and biomass burning, have induced the rapid eutrophication of Lake …

Housing Discrimination And Economic Opportunity In The Chicago Region, Center For Urban Research And Learning, Michael Leachman, Philip Nyden

Center for Urban Research and Learning: Publications and Other Works

In 1990, the Human Relations Foundation of Chicago was created in response to a publication called Report on Race, Ethnic and Religious Tensions in Chicago, released by the Chicago Community Trust Human Relations Task Force in 1989. The human relations task force released recommendations for the creation of a foundation to energize efforts to combat racism. The Human Relations Foundation of Chicago implements the recommendations of the task force's report, targeting Chicago leadership by concentrating on issues related to, but not limited to, housing, education, religion, media, government and business.

Re-Orienting Law And Sexuality , Ratna Kapur, Tayyab Mahmud

Cleveland State Law Review

This symposium issue of the Cleveland State Law Review emerges from the Reorienting Law and Sexuality Conference hosted by Cleveland-Marshall College of Law in October 1999. The symposium locates itself as a continuation of the discourse that surfaced in the American legal academy in 1979 with a symposium issue of the Hastings Law Review. It is a discourse that brings into sharp relief technologies of power and strategies of resistance that contend at all sites where law aims to regulate human sexuality. While the initiative of 1979 was further cultivated by other forums of knowledge production within the American legal …
