Characteristics And Use Of Thin Metals On Modified Glass Substrates., Sonya Latrice Caston Pierre
Characteristics And Use Of Thin Metals On Modified Glass Substrates., Sonya Latrice Caston Pierre
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Ultra-thin films of Au are formed on glass by thermal evaporation of Au onto a silane-modified glass surface. Monolayers of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane on glass (APS/glass) are outstanding surfaces for the formation of adherent, electrically conductive, smooth, and highly oriented Au films. Scanning tunneling microscopy images indicate that ultra-thin Au films are highly conductive and have a significant {111} texture, and X-ray diffraction studies confirm the latter. In addition, Au films on APS/glass surface are not removed by tape tests, pointing to a strong chemical interaction between the Au and amine surface. Unlike metal adhesion promoters, APS layer does not diffuse through …
Home And Classroom Learning Environment Correlates Of Academic Self -Efficacy In Middle School Mathematics., Thaddeus Theodore Claiborne
Home And Classroom Learning Environment Correlates Of Academic Self -Efficacy In Middle School Mathematics., Thaddeus Theodore Claiborne
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study investigated the relationship between home and classroom learning environment characteristics and middle school students' self-efficacy beliefs about mathematics. Specifically, the study examined linkages between sources of efficacy in the home and classroom learning environments and the strength of students' self-efficacy beliefs in mathematics. Social cognitive theory includes self-efficacy beliefs as a major source of human agency and functioning (Bandura, 1997). Enactive mastery experiences, vicarious learning (modeling), verbal persuasion, and physiological/affective states (emotional arousal) are four sources of human efficacy. While numerous studies have been completed linking self-efficacy to learning and achievement (Pajares, 1996b), no studies within schools were …
Kinetic And Mechanistic Studies Of A Bimetallic Hydroformylation Catalyst., Novella Nicole Bridges
Kinetic And Mechanistic Studies Of A Bimetallic Hydroformylation Catalyst., Novella Nicole Bridges
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Dicationic bimetallic rhodium complexes based on the novel binucleating tetraphosphine ligand system racemic-Et2PCH2CH 2P(Ph)CH2P(Ph) CH2CH2PEt2, et,ph-P4, are highly active and selective hydroformylation catalysts that make use of bimetallic cooperativity to operate. In situ FT-IR and NMR studies indicate that the most active catalyst is the unique dinuclear dicationic hydrido-carbonyl Rh(+2) oxidation state complex, [racemic-Rh 2H2(mu-CO)2(CO)2(et,ph-P4) 2+]. A kinetic study was performed to determine the rate orders of the dinuclear dicationic catalyst, and the substrate (1-hexene). The rate orders were found to be one for both components. The study was also performed to test the hypothesis of a bis-acyl species, which …
Theatre At Caffe Cino: The Aesthetics And Politics Of Revolt, 1958--1968., Wendell Corbin Stone
Theatre At Caffe Cino: The Aesthetics And Politics Of Revolt, 1958--1968., Wendell Corbin Stone
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Often considered the first off-off-Broadway theatre, Caffe Cino opened in December 1958 on a quiet street in New York's Greenwich Village. As proprietor Joseph Cino later explained, his goal was to provide a venue in which friends could enjoy coffee, conversation, and artistic events (including lectures, art displays, poetry readings, and play readings). Because of their popularity, the play readings quickly developed into fully-staged performances and supplanted all other artistic endeavors. By the early 1960s, the Caffe offered a demanding production schedule, with performances at 9:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. every day and additional performances at 1:00 a.m. on the …
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 …
The Geometry Of Electronically -Excited States: Vibronic Intensity Distributions And Bond Length Changes., Dorothy Marie Wood
The Geometry Of Electronically -Excited States: Vibronic Intensity Distributions And Bond Length Changes., Dorothy Marie Wood
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
An exact power series expression has been obtained for the Franck-Condon integral (FCI) in the harmonic approximation. This expression is a function of a parameter Delta where Delta → 0 as the frequencies of vibration in the two combining electronic states approach equality. These two characteristics, that of a power series in Delta and the fact that Delta → 0 in certain situations, permit truncation of various functions involving FCI's. Such truncation was performed for the ratio S2v'0'' /S2v'-1 0'' , where the S2v'v'' are the FCI's, and the subscripts, in the usual notation, denote the vibrational quantum numbers in …
The Effect Of Calcium Silicate On Rice Yield And Sheath Blight Disease., Chris Raymond Robichaux
The Effect Of Calcium Silicate On Rice Yield And Sheath Blight Disease., Chris Raymond Robichaux
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Sheath blight caused by fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani can cause significant yield loss in rice, especially in warm, high rainfall environments. Integrated pest management (IPM) is the key to sheath blight control. This system utilizes disease resistance, pesticides, cultural practices and biological control to control multiple pests. Silicon fertilization is an additional cultural practice that can reduce sheath blight severity and increase grain yield. Studies were conducted in the greenhouse and field to determine the effect of calcium silicate on sheath blight severity, rice grain yield, and leaf silicon concentration. Results in the greenhouse study showed that sheath blight severity …
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. …
De Haas-Van Alphen Effect Measurements On Cerium-Lanthanum-M-Indium (M = Cobalt, Rhodium, Iridium) Alloys., Umit Alver
De Haas-Van Alphen Effect Measurements On Cerium-Lanthanum-M-Indium (M = Cobalt, Rhodium, Iridium) Alloys., Umit Alver
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The de Haas van Alphen (dHvA) effect, which measures the oscillatory component of the magnetization, in several CexLa1-x MIn5 (M = Rh, Co, Ir) alloys for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 has been studied in detail using torque, pulse field and field modulation techniques. The frequencies, associated extremal cross sectional areas of the Fermi surface and effective masses of each sample throughout each of the series are reported. The energy band calculations of CeRhIn5, CeCoIn5 and CeIrIn5 assume that the 4f electrons in Ce are completely delocalized and these electrons make a significant contribution to the topology of the Fermi …
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 …
The Organ Music Of Isang Yun., Paul Seong Lee
The Organ Music Of Isang Yun., Paul Seong Lee
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Isang Yun (1917--1995) was born in Korea and became one of the most prominent advant-garde composers in the world. Yun's fundamental aim as a composer was to develop Korean music through Western means, combining East Asian performance practice with European instruments and expressing an Asian imagination in contemporary Western musical terms. He left two organ pieces, Tuyaux Sonores (1967) and Fragment fur Orgel, among his 100 works and these two works are representative of his organ music. This monograph will be organized as follows: Chapter I reviews his biographical sketch. Chapter II overviews influences on Yun's compositions. Chapter III is …
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 …
Body Condition, Leptin, And Reproductive Characteristics In Horses., Laura Roland Gentry
Body Condition, Leptin, And Reproductive Characteristics In Horses., Laura Roland Gentry
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
A series of experiments was conducted to gain a better understanding of the effects of nutrition and hormonal manipulation on the reproductive processes of the horse. In Experiment 1, body condition score (BCS) and ultrasonic backfat measurements were highly correlated in mares, especially over the tailhead area. In Experiment 2, high BCS (HBCS) mares continued to ovulate during the winter anestrous period, whereas low BCS (LBCS) mares went deeply anestrous. Daily hormone concentrations were not affected by BCS, however, responses to hormonal challenges indicated cyclicity in HBCS mares and reproductive quiescence in LBCS mares. In Experiment 3, treatment of average …
Statistical And Simulation Modeling Of Brown Shrimp Population Dynamics In The Northern Gulf Of Mexico., Heather Lynn Haas
Statistical And Simulation Modeling Of Brown Shrimp Population Dynamics In The Northern Gulf Of Mexico., Heather Lynn Haas
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This dissertation used statistical and simulation modeling to examine population dynamics of brown shrimp, Penaeus (Farfantepenaeus ) aztecus. Brown shrimp are ideal to use in examining recruitment because shrimp represent a common life history strategy, because they are commercially important, and because there are extensive data available. In the first section of this dissertation, I used long-term monitoring data to examine correlative relationships between annual, stage-specific abundance estimates and environmental factors. Criticisms of traditional correlative studies were addressed by using a spatially and temporally-extensive dataset, by comparing stepwise multiple regression to Bayesian model averaging, and by investigating nonlinear relationships with …
Evaluating The Taxonomic Status Of The Great White Heron (Ardea Herodias Occidentalis) Using Morphological, Behavioral And Genetic Evidence., Heather Louise Mcguire
Evaluating The Taxonomic Status Of The Great White Heron (Ardea Herodias Occidentalis) Using Morphological, Behavioral And Genetic Evidence., Heather Louise Mcguire
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The Great White Heron was originally described as a distinct species (Ardea occidentalis), but is currently considered to be the white morph of a polymorphic Great Blue Heron subspecies (A. herodias occidentalis). Great White and Great Blue heron breeding ranges overlap in the Florida Keys (USA), providing an opportunity to evaluate the degree to which these two taxa are reproductively isolated. The current classification leads to predictions of no significant size difference (H01), random mate choice (H02), and no genetic divergence (H03) between sympatric white and blue herons. Sympatric Great White and Great Blue herons did not differ significantly in …
