A New Testament Geography: Description, Perspectives, And Implications For The Field Of Geography., George Alphin
A New Testament Geography: Description, Perspectives, And Implications For The Field Of Geography., George Alphin
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The general purpose of this study is to relate the fields of geography and religion at both the academic and the practical levels. Primarily, it investigates the New Testament description of the land and its human occupancy. Secondarily, it identifies New Testament attitudes toward geography and suggests implications for its study and practice. It describes the geography, both physical and human, for each of the five classes of the document's book in a separate chapter. The chapter on the synoptic gospels discusses mountains, weather, biogeography, agriculture, occupations, and urban geography. Four kinds of soil reveal different responses to the word. …
From The Shadow Of Reagan: George Bush And The End Of The Cold War., Christopher Alan Maynard
From The Shadow Of Reagan: George Bush And The End Of The Cold War., Christopher Alan Maynard
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
George Bush entered the presidency constantly compared and contrasted with his predecessor, Ronald Reagan. Lacking Reagan's eloquence and adept use of the media, Bush was lambasted by the press as Reagan's "lapdog" and labeled a "wimp." The press pushed Bush to establish themes to match policy goals and to use the bully pulpit to lead the national debate on issues. His refusal prompted journalists to characterize the Bush presidency as lacking an agenda. Reagan's success with the media and Bush's failure have produced a misconception about the successes and failures of each president's policies. Thus, the period usually is referred …
Teacher Personal And School Culture Characteristics In Effective Schools: Toward A Model Of A Professional Learning Community., Dianne Fuselier Olivier
Teacher Personal And School Culture Characteristics In Effective Schools: Toward A Model Of A Professional Learning Community., Dianne Fuselier Olivier
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this study was to explore personal and organizational factors within schools operating as professional learning communities and the relationships of these variables with intent to stay in teaching and organizational effectiveness. A conceptual framework, a Professional Learning Community Model, was developed to organize and conceptualize linkages among school culture, teacher self-efficacy, collective efficacy, human caring, intent to stay, and organizational effectiveness. Original measures were developed to assess teacher self-efficacy and collective efficacy and revisions/modifications of measures were used for school culture, human caring, and intent to stay. The study used a large sample and quantitative data analysis …
Toward A Reconceptualization Of The Integration Of Culture And Language In The Korean Efl Classroom., Seung Bin Roh
Toward A Reconceptualization Of The Integration Of Culture And Language In The Korean Efl Classroom., Seung Bin Roh
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Many Korean EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students do not have sufficient opportunity to learn cultural knowledge and information in their classrooms. EFL teachers also tend to ignore the teaching of culture. Even though culture is taught, it simply delivers "fact-only" information rather than cultural awareness by comparing native with target culture. Teaching target cultural knowledge and information should be delivered within the native cultural frame, and teaching of culture must be an integral part of teaching and learning English. For the effective integration of culture in EFL classes apart from conveying simply "fact-only" information, this research advocates the …
Control Of Supply Chain Systems By Kanban Mechanism., Shaojun Wang
Control Of Supply Chain Systems By Kanban Mechanism., Shaojun Wang
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This research studies the control mechanism of a supply chain system to operate it efficiently and economically under the just-in-time (JIT) philosophy. To implement a JIT system, kanbans are employed to link different plants' production processes in a supply pipeline. Supply chain models may be categorized into single-stage, multi-stage, and assembly-line types of production systems. In order to operate efficiently and economically, the number of kanbans, the manufacturing batch size, the number of batches, and the total quantity over one period are determined optimally for these types of supply chains. The kanban operation at each stage is scheduled to minimize …
Oral Poetry In A Literate Culture: A Performance Ethnography Of Poetry Slams., Ramon Lavelle Sibley Jr
Oral Poetry In A Literate Culture: A Performance Ethnography Of Poetry Slams., Ramon Lavelle Sibley Jr
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Poetry slams are competitive poetry performances that have drawn increasing public attention in the last decade. Despite their widespread popularity, few people outside the poetry slam community understand the nature of the slam's appeal. This study examines the organizational culture of poetry slams, and attempts to define the characteristics that contribute to its meaning, value and success for those who participate in them. This study describes four poetry slams that took place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, during the months of June and July, 1999. An ethnographic approach is used to describe these events in terms of three variables: (a) the …
Ecological Structure Of Estaurine Fish Communities: Habitat Linkages Among Dominant Species Groups In Terminos Lagoon, Mexico., Ana Laura Lara-Dominguez
Ecological Structure Of Estaurine Fish Communities: Habitat Linkages Among Dominant Species Groups In Terminos Lagoon, Mexico., Ana Laura Lara-Dominguez
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Terminos Lagoon in the southern Gulf of Mexico has 5 ecological subsystems: (1) fluvial lagoon systems (FLS) with permanent river discharge, low salinity, high turbidity and nutrients. (2) Central basin (CB) between marine and river conditions, intermediate salinity and variable transparency. (3) Inner littoral of Carmen Island (ILCI) with strong marine influence, high transparency and extensive seagrass meadows. (4) Carmen inlet (Estero Pargo, ESP) with a net outflow of water and high turbidity. (5) Puerto Real inlet (PR) with a net inflow of waters, high transparency and seagrasses. During a 15-month sampling, 13,691 individuals of 79 different species were collected …
Team -Member Exchange And Trust Contexts: Effects On Individual Level Outcome Variables Beyond The Influence Of Leader -Member Exchange., Barbara Ann Wech
Team -Member Exchange And Trust Contexts: Effects On Individual Level Outcome Variables Beyond The Influence Of Leader -Member Exchange., Barbara Ann Wech
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Researchers and theorists have recognized the importance of multilevel research to gain a better understanding of organizational behavior. In particular, there is a need to assess leader-member exchange in the context within which the relationship takes place. This study assessed the associated effect of leader-member exchange and two contextual variables, team-member exchange and trust context, on individual performance, organizational citizenship behavior, fairness perceptions, and job satisfaction. At the individual level, supervisor ratings of leader-member exchange were positively associated with performance, organizational citizenship behavior directed at both individuals and the organization, fairness, and job satisfaction. Contextual effects were found for both …
Espace Textuel: Espace D'Affirmation D'Une Identite De L'Interstice Dans Les Ouvrages De Leila Houari, "Zeida De Nulle Part"; De Farida Belghoul, "Georgette!"; Et D'Azouz Begag, "Le Gone Du Chaã¢Ba"., Nayat M'Hamed
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The aim of this dissertation is to explore the works of Houari, Belghoul and Begag to question a prefabricated model of identity and press for new theories which value a concept of a constructed subjectivity and a rupture with a monolithic mentality. The main purpose of this study is to examine, through a series of close textual readings, how the text becomes the only dynamic space for a creative discourse of identity which emerges from an interstitial cultural space. In chapter one I argue that the significant concern of Houari's novel is the heroine's quest for the correct cultural identity. …
Multiscale Analysis For Characterization Of Remotely Sensed Images., Wei Zhao
Multiscale Analysis For Characterization Of Remotely Sensed Images., Wei Zhao
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
In this study we addressed fundamental characteristics of image analysis in remote sensing, enumerated unavoidable problems in spectral analysis, and highlighted the spatial structure and features that increase information amount and measurement accuracy. We addressed the relationship between scale and spatial structure and the difficulties in characterizing them in complex remotely sensed images. We suggested that it is necessary to employ multiscale analysis techniques for analyzing and extracting information from remotely sensed images. We developed a multiscale characterization software system based on an existing software called ICAMS (Image Characterization And Modeling System), and applied the system to various test data …
Soil Management In Two Highland Guatemalan Municipios: Local Perspectives On The Management And Degradation Of Soil Resources., Steven James Rainey
Soil Management In Two Highland Guatemalan Municipios: Local Perspectives On The Management And Degradation Of Soil Resources., Steven James Rainey
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This dissertation studies how small farmers of two ethnic groups manage the soil resource in a portion of Highland Guatemala that is considered marginal for crop production due to steep slopes. In the past, various groups concerned about environmental degradation tended to blame peasant farmers such as these for degrading the land resource through "primitive and backward" agricultural practices and a general lack of knowledge of the consequences of their actions. Yet attempts to convince small farmers to adopt new techniques have often failed due in part to an inadequate knowledge of local conditions and to a failure to recognize …
Development And Characterization Of Velocity Workspaces For The Human Knee., John Eric Fuller
Development And Characterization Of Velocity Workspaces For The Human Knee., John Eric Fuller
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The knee joint is the most complex joint in the human body. A complete understanding of the physical behavior of the joint is essential for the prevention of injury and efficient treatment of infirmities of the knee. A kinematic model of the human knee including bone surfaces and four major ligaments was studied using techniques pioneered in robotic workspace analysis. The objective of this work was to develop and test methods for determining displacement and velocity workspaces for the model and investigate these workspaces. Data were collected from several sources using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). Geometric …

Some Technical Vocabulary Of Rhetorical Invention In The Treatise Of Anonymous Seguerianus, Hermogenes' "On Statis", And Book Three Of The [Pseudo-]Hermogenic Work "On Invention", Mark Allen Williams
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
From the debates of the Christian councils to the homilies of the local priests, from the opaque scripting of the Byzantine epistle to the clarities of stasis theory, from the entertaining fictions of declamation to the promulgation of Byzantine cannon law, the citizens of Byzantium were never far from the rhetorical, and they themselves knew it. But the development of rhetorical theory in the Greek West has gained little attention, and what has been given to it has generally concentrated on questions of style. This dissertation examines some of the most basic qualities of that theory of rhetorical invention which …
An Economic Analysis Of The Allocation Of Research Funding At The National Institutes Of Health., Janet B. Daniel
An Economic Analysis Of The Allocation Of Research Funding At The National Institutes Of Health., Janet B. Daniel
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Our model examines the allocation of medical research funds at the National Institutes of Health using public interest theory, incremental budgeting theory, and special interest group theory. We use the allocation of research funds among various diseases and measures of the burden of disease on the population to test the hypothesis that the N.I.H. is allocating funds on a pure public interest basis, to test for incremental budgeting effects, and to test for the influence of lobbying and other political variables representing special interest groups. We use pooled cross-sectional, time-series data in a one-way fixed effects model, and also use …
Compression Of Three-Dimensional Magnetic Resonance Brain Images., Xiaojun Qi
Compression Of Three-Dimensional Magnetic Resonance Brain Images., Xiaojun Qi
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Losslessly compressing a medical image set with multiple slices is paramount in radiology since all the information within a medical image set is crucial for both diagnosis and treatment. This dissertation presents a novel and efficient diagnostically lossless compression scheme (predicted wavelet lossless compression method) for sets of magnetic resonance (MR) brain images, which are called 3-D MR brain images. This compression scheme provides 3-D MR brain images with the progressive and preliminary diagnosis capabilities. The spatial dependency in 3-D MR brain images is studied with histograms, entropy, correlation, and wavelet decomposition coefficients. This spatial dependency is utilized to design …
