Quantifying Groundwater-Sapping Landforms With A Hypsometric Technique, W. Luo Jan 2000

Quantifying Groundwater-Sapping Landforms With A Hypsometric Technique, W. Luo

Faculty Articles, Papers, and Other Scholarship

The groundwater-sapping process generates peculiar landform features, including amphitheater channel head, U-shaped cross section with steep wall and flat floor, and short stubby tributaries. However, previous attempts to quantify this landform were primarily limited to the planform geometry of the channel networks and the network topology. The elevation or relief information, which is more revealing of the processes that gave rise to the landform, has not received enough attention in the literature. The hypsometric curve (area-altitude relation) combined area and relief elegantly. By treating the hypsometric curve as a probability distribution, one can quantitatively distinguish small differences in the shape …


Seasoned Equity Issuance By Closed -End Funds., William Henry Brigham Jr Jan 2000

Seasoned Equity Issuance By Closed -End Funds., William Henry Brigham Jr

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation examines in detail the previously unexamined phenomenon of seasoned equity issuance by closed-end funds. Evidence presented here indicates that closed-end funds issue equity at a much higher occurrence rate than is the case for regular, operating firms in the US. Furthermore, these funds overwhelmingly use the rights offer method of equity flotation, which, outside the closed-end universe, has rarely been used in the US in recent years. The evidence produced by this study indicates that, in contrast to industrial firms, the shares of closed-end funds show no significant reaction to announcements of either rights offerings or firm commitment …


Attitudes Of Teachers Of Spanish As A Foreign Language Toward Teaching Spanish To Hispanic Students In Urban Schools., Rossana Ramirez Boyd Jan 2000

Attitudes Of Teachers Of Spanish As A Foreign Language Toward Teaching Spanish To Hispanic Students In Urban Schools., Rossana Ramirez Boyd

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Many Hispanic students do not have opportunities to develop their native language in efforts to adapt to an all English curriculum at the schools they attend. This is particularly evident among high school Hispanic students who usually possess oral fluency in Spanish but lack reading and writing skills in Spanish. The purpose of this research was to explore the attitudes of teachers of Spanish as a foreign language toward teaching Spanish to Hispanic students. This research was guided by four questions, What are the attitudes of teachers of Spanish as a foreign language toward (1) the use of Spanish? (2) …


Cancer Mortality And *Environment In Louisiana: A Geographical Inquiry., Mihye Bark Jan 2000

Cancer Mortality And *Environment In Louisiana: A Geographical Inquiry., Mihye Bark

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Cancer is one of the most serious health problems in the U.S. Louisiana mortality rates for all sites of cancer have exceeded national rates since 1950. Even though concern about the issues of environmental cancer is growing, conclusive results have not been reported. Previous studies differed in data source, data quality, time of observation, and statistical procedure, making comparison of results problematic. The spatial patterns of the most common cancer sites in Louisiana (from 1953 to 1993) and their relationships with environmental factors were investigated, using GIS software and statistical software. To provide a clear understanding of how the spatial …


Solid -State Nmr Of High Spin Nuclei With Large Quadrupolar Coupling Constants., Pamela Louise Bryant Jan 2000

Solid -State Nmr Of High Spin Nuclei With Large Quadrupolar Coupling Constants., Pamela Louise Bryant

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The goal of this study is to develop a method of characterizing the aluminum sites in solid aluminum containing systems that are difficult to determine by normal nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, NMR, or X-ray crystallography. Specifically, the aim is to characterize the aluminum sites in the industrial cocatalyst methylaluminoxane, MAO. The structure of MAO, found in both solid and gel form, has not been well determined. First, an automated 27Al (spin 5/2) single-crystal NMR experiment was used to determine the experimental electric field gradient, EFG, of andalusite, a well-studied mineral with large quadrupolar interactions. The experimental results were compared to …


Agricultural Trade Liberalization And Uneven Development: The Case Of South Korea., Heesun Chung Jan 2000

Agricultural Trade Liberalization And Uneven Development: The Case Of South Korea., Heesun Chung

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which was concluded in 1993, was the principal global forum to discuss agricultural trade in an extensive way. In this last venue of the GATT, South Korean negotiators had to agree to open the nation's agricultural markets so as to assure manufacturing export access to international markets amidst heightening Pressure from surplus agricultural producers A broad range of economic studies have estimated that as an aftermath of the Uruguay Round, a majority of South Korean farmers, who are comparatively disadvantaged due to small-scale, labor-intensive farming, might be displaced. …


Gods, Men And Their Gifts: A Comparison Of The "Iliad", The "Odyssey", The "Aeneid" And "Paradise Lost", Paul Norman Anderson Jan 2000

Gods, Men And Their Gifts: A Comparison Of The "Iliad", The "Odyssey", The "Aeneid" And "Paradise Lost", Paul Norman Anderson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation is an examination of the Iliad, the Odyssey, the Aeneid and Paradise Lost based upon their similar depictions of gods and men, specifically in regard to their use of gifts. The procedure is lexical and thematic in approach. The word group around which the majority of the evidence is centered is the noun 'gift' and the verb 'to give.' The nature and use of gifts is examined in the four works under consideration. However, the evidence for the notion of gift-giving is not limited by a strict positivistic approach. Evidence from the texts that clearly includes the notion …
