Off The Shelf And Into The Classroom: Working With K-12 Teachers To Integrate Digitized Collections Into Classroom Instruction, Tara Zachary Laver

The Southeastern Librarian

Thanks to a grant funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Special Collections Department of LSU Libraries and the LSU digital library have been digitizing, cataloging, and making available via the World Wide Web selected documents and publications from the era of the Louisiana Purchase held by LSU and the New Orleans City Archives. A goal of the grant was to enhance K-12 teaching and learning by working with Louisiana teachers to integrate the use of the digital collection into their classroom activities. The digital collection’s availability on the web would also give access to any teacher, …

Hindu-Christian Dialogue: Revisiting The Tannirpalli Trinitys Original Vision, Klaus Klostermaier Jan 2003

Hindu-Christian Dialogue: Revisiting The Tannirpalli Trinitys Original Vision, Klaus Klostermaier

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Living in India from 1961 to 1970 I intensively and extensively participated in Hindu-Christian dialogue at various levels, academic as well as existential, and I came to know personally most of the then leading figures. While Hindu friends even then kept regularly imploring their Christian counterparts to persuade their churches to desist from proselytizing, they welcomed and encouraged dialogue. During the last decades the relationship between Hindus and Christians in India has visibly deteriorated.

Ethics And Genetic Engineering In Indian Philosophy, And Some Comparisons With Modern Western, Harold Coward Jan 2003

Ethics And Genetic Engineering In Indian Philosophy, And Some Comparisons With Modern Western, Harold Coward

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

In the context of India, Genetic Engineering research and technology is well underway. The Government of India has issued statements indicating that India "will fully utilize the availability of genetic engineering resources ... for maximizing output besides working out a sustainable program ...." Between November 22, 1998 and March 21, 1999 no less than 32 stories of genetic engineering research or technology developments appeared in India media sources - particularly the PTI News Agency and the Inter-Press Service in Delhi. The research spans a wide range from genetic studies of the human population of the Indian sub-continent to various agricultural …

Meeting 'The Mother Who Takes Across': Christian Encounters With The Fierce Goddesses Of Hinduism, Rachel Fell Mcdermott Jan 2003

Meeting 'The Mother Who Takes Across': Christian Encounters With The Fierce Goddesses Of Hinduism, Rachel Fell Mcdermott

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

This essay revolves around a simple question: what does Hindu-Christian dialogue look like from the Christian side when the Hindu side is represented by Saktism? Or, how do Christians, whether Protestant or Catholic, react and what do they learn when the Hindus they encounter worship a supreme female divinity who is both compassionate and wrathful, whose cult is often associated with blood sacrifice, whose philosophical underpinnings tend to be monistic, and some of whose devotees have been involved in esoteric, often sexual Tantric rites? Where are the cross-overs, the bridges to understanding?

Dr. Richard De Smet And Sankara's Advaita, T.S. Rukmani Jan 2003

Dr. Richard De Smet And Sankara's Advaita, T.S. Rukmani

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

I have had the privilege of meeting Dr. Richard De Smet in Shimla at the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, when we both participated in a Seminar organized by the Institute in 1989. We had opportunities of discussing Sankara's Brahman and the Christian concept of God at that time without being able to fully understand each other's position. That has been at the back of my mind all these years, and I was happy when Bradley Malkovsky asked me to write on Dr. De Smet's view of Sankara's Brahman for the Bulletin. I thus got an opportunity to revisit that …

Connectivity Between Coastal Habitats Of Two Oceanic Caribbean Islands As Inferred From Ontogenetic Shifts By Coral Reef Fishes, I. Nagelkerken, G. Van Der Velde Jan 2003

Connectivity Between Coastal Habitats Of Two Oceanic Caribbean Islands As Inferred From Ontogenetic Shifts By Coral Reef Fishes, I. Nagelkerken, G. Van Der Velde

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Mangroves and seagrass beds are considered important nursery habitats for juveniles of coral reef fishes. Studies have mostly focused on the fish community of just one habitat, so the connectivity between different coastal habitats is often unclear. In this study, density and size of reef fish were determined using a single sampling technique in four non-estuarine bay habitats and four reef zones in Curaçao and Bonaire (Netherlands Antilles). The data indicate that of the complete reef fish community at least 21 species show ontogenetic crossshelf shifts in habitat utilization. The 21 species mainly utilized shallow-water habitats (mangroves, seagrass beds, channel …

Community-Based Development Of Multiple-Use Marine Protected Areas: Promoting Stewardship And Sharing Responsibility For Conservation In The San Andres Archipelago, Colombia, Marion Howard, Ernesto Connolly, Elizabeth Taylor, June Marie Mow Jan 2003

Community-Based Development Of Multiple-Use Marine Protected Areas: Promoting Stewardship And Sharing Responsibility For Conservation In The San Andres Archipelago, Colombia, Marion Howard, Ernesto Connolly, Elizabeth Taylor, June Marie Mow

Gulf and Caribbean Research

The San Andres Archipelago in the western Caribbean includes some of the largest and most productive coral reef ecosystems in the hemisphere. Declared the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2000, this Colombian archipelago has 3 inhabited islands, 5 atolls, and an oceanic area of 300,000 km2. CORALINA, the local representative of the National Environment System, is responsible for environmental planning, management, and education. While setting up the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve, this agency had hundreds of meetings with the islands’ communities, listening to their concerns. Issues, conflicts, and threats to marine and coastal areas were identified during these …

Polyhedral Approximations Of Riemannian Manifolds, Anton Petrunin Jan 2003

Polyhedral Approximations Of Riemannian Manifolds, Anton Petrunin

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

I'm trying to understand which Riemannian manifolds can be Lipschitz approximated by polyhedral spaces of the same dimension with curvature bounded below. The necessary conditions I found consist of some special inequality for curvature at each point (the geometric curvature bound). This inequality is also sufficient condition for local approximation. I conjecture that it is also a sufficient condition for global approximation, and I can prove it if the curvature bound is positive. In general I can prove it only with the additional assumption that tangent bundle of the manifold is stably trivial.

It's All In The Rhetoric: Using Affective Design To Change Users' Perceptions Of Online Help, Robert C. Stultz

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This thesis investigates the role of affective design in online help systems. The thesis begins with a discussion of the current research related to online help systems and the rhetorical nature of technical communication. The thesis then provides a heuristic evaluation of two versions of procedural discourse for Microsoft Word 2000. Based on an analysis of the heuristic evaluation, five recommendations are given for improving the affective design of online help systems. The thesis concludes with a proposed usability test and consideration of a related area of study.

The E-Rated Industry: Fair Use Sheep Or Infringing Goat?, Christina Mitakis Jan 2003

The E-Rated Industry: Fair Use Sheep Or Infringing Goat?, Christina Mitakis

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

This Note explores the copyright issues presented by the litigation between companies that sanitize movies for viewing by the general public and the studios and directors involved in the creation of the edited movies. Collectively, these companies comprise what is generally referred to as the e-rated industry.' Certain companies within the e-rated industry use digital editing software to edit profanity, sex and violence from popular movies, while other companies provide software allowing viewers to edit their own DVDs. In all cases, this editing is done without the consent of the moviemakers. CleanFilms, which rents out e-rated movies, defines e-rated movies …
