A well-designed manure storage facility must also be well managed to prevent environmental concerns from developing. Probably the single most important requirement in operating and maintaining a manure storage facility is to ensure that the facility does not overflow or discharge.

The Effect Of Pfiesteria Toxin On General Activity And Performance On The Elevated Plus Maze In Rats, Sarah Ann Schultz

Psychology Theses & Dissertations

Marine toxins that cause fish kills also threaten human health. Pfiesreria piscicida and Pfiesteria shumwayae are marine microorganisms responsible for periods of massive fish death and are implicated as causative agents in the neurocognitive decline of humans exposed to the aerosols of the Pfiesteria toxin. Past research with animals has demonstrated that exposure to Pfiesteria does result in impaired learning and memory performance. The present study aimed to investigate whether Pfiesreria-exposed animals behaviorally indicate greater anxiety or differing levels of activity compared to control animals; both anxiety and activity might affect learning and memory performance. The behavior of twelve …

A Boy In His Shadow, Francis Rutledge Hammes

English Theses & Dissertations

Boy in His Shadow is a collection of four short stories that features four male protagonists struggling to deal with personal identity. Often these men have lived in the shadows of their fathers' God's expectations and their own misunderstandings of masculinity, reflecting the growing generational divide and the effects that divide has on coming of age. The stories deal with the changing times, alienation, personal faith and societal misunderstandings of manhood. Each man is at a pivotal part in his life, where circumstance has forced him to reevaluate who he is and where he's going. The stories are set in …

Before Things Get Rough, John T. Williams Jr.

English Theses & Dissertations

Imagery is often defined as language that appeals to the senses. Imagery, however, is the meat of any poem, and going beyond this simplistic definition. One of the most important functions of imagery is to help establish tone, and relationship between imagery and tone enables a poem to describe, declare, assert, or imagine-to use voices that are objective, personal, opinionated, or wildly speculative.

Tonally, the poems were aggressive, and something had to temper their edge. I went to the other extreme, looking to the most basic function of imagery-description. Obviously, all poems are, on some level, descriptive. Descriptive imagery is …

Fly, Bob Kunzinger

English Theses & Dissertations

In February of 1980, Joe Kohn arrived in my dorm room at Saint Bonaventure University where I was then a freshman. For the next several months we talked about my planned bicycle trip across the United States, recounted his own ride to Brazil, and uncovered dark stories from his three years in Zaire. One night he told me of an idea he had: He planned to canoe the entire length of the Congo River alone. For the following year or so, we mapped routes and studied the dangers. He left in the late fall of 1980, but his anticipated completion …

White Dogs And Angels, Dianne Alford

English Theses & Dissertations

The narrative of American whiskey criss-crosses America's own story line and has survived open rebellion, scandalous rings, monopolizing trusts, false labeling, hellfire and brimstone, Prohibition, moonshine, and industry consolidation to emerge again from the ashes of politics and the abandonment of a fickle public. The story of this native product stands as a metaphor for the Americans who make it and perhaps for the American spirit in general—simple and complex, smooth and spicy, rustic and sophisticated, obliging and independent, but above all, enduring.

America's whiskey industry developed and was refined hand-in-hand with America's own development and refinement. In 1830, the …

Herd Efficiency And Profitability, Jesse Russell, D. R. Zobell

All Current Publications

Raising beef cattle can be very rewarding. First, if you like raising cattle, maintaining your tie to the land, and seeing the product of your labors, it can truly be satisfying to see young calves in the spring, watch them grow and progress. Second, here can also be a financial reward when the calves are weaned and sold. However, the satisfaction of these two aspects may all depend on your herd’s efficiency and profitability.

Gentleman's Agreement: The Antisemitic Origins Of Restrictions On Stockholder Litigation, Lawrence E. Mitchell

ExpressO

A deeply ingrained, seemingly ineradicable, hostility to plaintiffs’ lawyers and especially to plaintiffs’ lawyers in stockholder suits seems to have existed for most of the past century. This hostility is manifest not only in the tone of judicial opinions but in law review articles, the popular press, and, often, in legislation. This article analyzes the circumstances under which the first security-for-expense statute was adopted in New York in 1944, including the contemporaneous justification for the statute, focusing on the demographics of the New York bar at the time and the ethnic sociology of New York. In so doing, it concludes …

National Animal Identification, Darrell R. Mark

Cornhusker Economics

Animal identification on a group or individual head basis is increasingly being discussed by animal agriculture producers, allied industry associations and governmental officials. While efforts to initiate a national animal identification system date back several years, recent concerns over animal diseases (e.g., foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza and bovine spongiform encephalopathy) and animal terrorism have greatly accelerated plans in the past year. Serving as the general guideline for the national identification plan is the U.S. Animal Identification Plan (USAIP) developed by an industry, state and federal partnership.

From Just War To Just Peace: Re-Visioning Just War Theory From A Feminist Perspective, Naomi Malone

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This paper studies the history of just war theory and critiques it from various feminist perspectives. Using a definition of war as inseparable from the system within which it is embedded, the paper contends that just war theory has been incorporated into the realist paradigm that predominates current political thought, making it susceptible to manipulation. Most importantly, this usurpation has shifted just war theory's focus from jus ad bellum to jus in bello considerations, seriously weakening its deterrent effects on war. The paper proposes its replacement with a just peace theory, discussing several existing frameworks and explaining the important part …

Concerning Theories Of Personal Identity, Patrick, Bailey

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a brief examination of the historical accounts of philosophical theories of personal identity and show the influence that each has had on the development of contemporary theories. In doing so, the thesis explores the problems associated with these theories, attempting to establish a meta-theory (i.e. a theory about theories) of personal identity. What is demonstrated is that the fundamental problems of personal identity arise from issues related to the use of language, as well as assumptions involving the concept of personhood.

By demonstrating that our understanding of personhood is relative to frameworks …

A Control Layer Algorithm For Ad Hoc Networks In Support Of Urban Search And Rescue (Usar) Applications, Venkatesh Ramarathinam

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Ad hoc networks have gained significant importance and gathered huge momentum within the wireless network research community. We explore the novel idea of applying ad hoc networking for urban search and rescue operations. Several algorithms have been proposed and implemented for routing in ad hoc networks and their performance have been thoroughly analyzed. But none of the prior work deals specifically for search and rescue operations, which entail certain specific criteria such as prevention of node loss, maximizing the area of coverage and constant and instantaneous access to a main controller.

In this thesis, we propose a centralized and adaptive …
