Homeward (Chapter 6 Of The Book Between Gay And Straight: Understanding Friendship Across Sexual Orientation), Lisa M. Tillmann Ph.D.

Faculty Publications

“Homeward” is Chapter 6 of the book Between Gay and Straight: Understanding Friendship Across Sexual Orientation (AltaMira Press, 2001). Here I present events that took place during the spring 1997 semester and that summer. An issue that comes to the forefront is the binary (gay-straight) construction of sexual orientation and identity. I ask what it means to say, “I’m straight,” or “I’m gay,” and what options and experiences such a claim opens up and closes off. By exploring an attraction between myself and one of my participants, I question the popular wisdom that friendships between straight women and gay men …

Care And Maintenance Of The Successful Career: How Experienced Law Librarians Make Their Work Rewarding, Paul M. George, Penny A. Hazelton

Articles

Experienced law librarians explain how at midcareer they continue to find challenges in their jobs and enthusiasm for their work. Although each offers a personal take, common themes emerge around involvement in profession and community, lifelong learning, and balance of work and private lives.

Penny Hazelton's contribution, I Am Not Bored—And Here's Why, begins at page 565.

The Emperor's New Clothes: The Shocking Truth About Digital Signatures And Internet Commerce, Jane K. Winn

Articles

This Article critiques a specific set of assumptions about specific application of digital signature technology: that contracts will be formed over the Internet among parties with no prior relationships through reliance on digital signature certificates issued by trusted third parties to establish the identity of the parties. This application for digital signature technology was once seen as both its most ambitious and most promising application because, for parties with no prior knowledge of each other, there is not yet a reliable system of online identities in Internet commerce.

Parties with an ongoing commercial relationship can absorb the cost of offline …

Flow Through Well Screens As A Function Of Pump Intake Location, Kristjan F. Bekker

Theses and Dissertations

Greater well efficiency and lower production costs may result from a knowledge of water flow through well screens. Current practice generally locates the intake of a pump in the cased section of the well above the screen. This work shows that placing the pump within the screen will increase well efficiency and therefore lower energy cost. This work also shows a correlation of increased well efficiency with respect to larger sand size, larger screen slot size, and lower flow rates.

A semicircular model based on the radial symmetry of a well and screen was used to simulate water flow from …

The Complimentary Role Of Wild Habitats In Crop Pollination: A Case Study On The Eggplant (Solatium Melongena L., Solanaceae), Alfred Ochieng Oluoch

All Master’s Theses

In this study, carried out in Nguruman, southwestern Kenya, 10 bee species were identified as eggplant pollinators. Their foraging behaviour was shown to be affected by the prevailing ambient temperature and not time of the day or the number of flowers per square meter in the eggplant fields. Only 2 bee species, Xylocopa caffra and Narnia sp., visited the eggplant blossoms at a great frequency. Their pollinator effectiveness was determined in two eggplant cultivars (the Black Beauty and the Early Long Purple). X caffra proved to be the most effective pollinator of the eggplant. Floral manipulations performed to study the …

An Analysis Of Manufacturing Wages In Selected Malaysian Manufacturing Industries, Lee Peng Ho

Student Works (2000-2009)

A lot of focus has been placed on the importance of the relationship between wages and labour productivity in view of increasing competition due to the globalization of economies. Therefore, this paper attempts to examine whether the increase in real wages is commensurate with higher increase in labour productivity. The model of this study is adapted from Carneiro's (1998) paper which is based on union-firm wage bargaining model. This paper analyses both the long-run and short-run dynamics of wage formation in Malaysian manufacturing as a whole and also 13 sub-selected sectors of manufacturing industry using the Eagle and Granger (1987) …

Housing Industry : Problems And Prospects, Hoong Jun Lim

Student Works (2000-2009)

The economic downturn in the mid-1997 had definitely affected the housing industry. The oversupply especially in the commercial sector had affected many developers and financial institutions. Non-Performance-Loans had soared up. Housing projects delayed in completion, and worst, abandoned. Of course, oversupply is only one major problem facing the housing industry. On the other hand, the problem of low-cost housing for the poor, striving hard by both the private and the public sectors, only ended up never enough to meet the demands. Sometimes, there is no demand because of wrong locality (mismatch). During the 6th Malaysia Plan (1991-1995), only about 75 …

White Dwarfs In Common Proper Motion Binary Systems: Mass Distribution And Kinematics, Nicole M. Silvestri, Terry D. Oswalt, Matt A. Wood, J. Allyn Smith, I. Neill Reid, Edward M. Sion

Publications

We present the mass distribution, gravitational redshifts, radial velocities, and space motions of white dwarf stars in common proper motion binary systems. The mass distribution we derive for the 41 DA white dwarfs in this study has a mean of 0.68 ± 0.04 M_Ꙩ. This distribution has a slightly higher mean and larger dispersion than most previous white dwarf studies. We hypothesize that this is due to a higher fraction of cool (average T_eff ̴ 10,000 K), hence old, white dwarfs in our sample. Our results indicate that samples made up of predominantly cool, old white dwarf stars …

Gustav Mahler - Conductor As Interpreter: A Comprehensive Study Of The Bach-Mahler Suite For Orchestra, Bryce Mara Seliger

Theses and Dissertations

This document is an examination of Mahler's contributions to the discipline of conducting through the Retuschen he made of other composers' works. Chapter 1 is an overview of Mahler's ideas on what interpretive responsibilities a conductor faces when he/she conducts other composers' music. It explores how his changes to other composers' scores give us a valuable glimpse of Mahler's own sense of interpretation as well as documents the nineteenth-century approach to performance practice.

Chapter 2 is a study of the history of Retuschen-making and how these modifications made by conductors exemplify a nineteenth-century attitude towards the music of the past. …

Wv Dpms: District-Level Pavement Management System For West Virginia Doh District 5., Anthony W. Ford

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The motoring public has an expectation that they will be provided with roads that are both safe and in satisfactory condition. State highway agencies’ investment of public funds to keep roads in good condition pays large rewards in terms of savings for road users. Highway agencies using a Pavement Management System (PMS) will be provided with information for better decisions to ensure the tax-paying public gets the best value for their dollars. This project consists of developing a useful and efficient network-level PMS for District Five of the West Virginia Division of Highways. The study area includes the counties of …
