Book Review: Dr. Ernst W. Alther, Ahnentafel Van Burgern St.Gallischen Ursprungs Mit Ausliiufern Nach Genf, Nancy, Nurnberg, Ulm, Lucca Und Florenz, Mario Von Moos, Wolf Seelentag, Leo Schelbert Nov 2005

Book Review: Dr. Ernst W. Alther, Ahnentafel Van Burgern St.Gallischen Ursprungs Mit Ausliiufern Nach Genf, Nancy, Nurnberg, Ulm, Lucca Und Florenz, Mario Von Moos, Wolf Seelentag, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

To compile a pedigree chart of a few generations, and have it printed, might be considered a private and personal pleasure. However, if such a pedigree is set out to cover all ancestors as far back as the sources allow, the author has achieved something important not only for his family, but for his home town, the canton or even a larger part of the country. Swiss genealogists, especially Komad Schulthess, have started projects like this during the 1920's; in 1939 Eduard Riibel and Wilhelm H. Ruoff have set new standards with their Rubel-Blass genealogy, covering mainly Zurich and Bern …


Phenology And Phoretic Bat Mites Of Calyptrogyne Brachystachys (Arecaceae) Flowers In The Monteverde Cloud Forest, November 2005, Dylan J. Rhea-Fournier Nov 2005

Phenology And Phoretic Bat Mites Of Calyptrogyne Brachystachys (Arecaceae) Flowers In The Monteverde Cloud Forest, November 2005, Dylan J. Rhea-Fournier

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

In November 2005 Calyptrogyne brachystachys palm inflorescences were examined for the presence of phoretic bat mites (tribe Melichari) in the Cloud Forest of Monteverde. Sixty-seven Calyptrogyne brachystachys plants were studied over a two-week period for flower and inflorescence phenology. Forty-six inflorescences were examined thoroughly for mite presence of which 11 were found to harbor mites. Flower phenology studies suggest a temporary flowering lag. Abundances of mites on both inflorescence and site scales were found at much lower frequencies than the Atlantic slope (Tschapka and Cunningham 2004), The lower abundance in Monteverde is attributed to abiotic differences such as recent weather …


Book Talk: Continuing To Rouse Minds And Hearts To Life, Cheri F. Triplett, Alisa Buchanan Nov 2005

Book Talk: Continuing To Rouse Minds And Hearts To Life, Cheri F. Triplett, Alisa Buchanan

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

During the spring of 2004, we conducted research exploring the emotions of struggling readers. Specifically we were interested in finding out how school contexts, curriculum, and relationships influence students' experiences of struggle. Students in this study were 14 first, second, and third graders identified for reading intervention at their school. As we analyzed data sources, including field notes, interviews with students and teachers, we concluded that the literacy activities that engaged these students cognitively, motivationally, and emotionally were the book discussions that took place in their reading classroom. However, book discussions were not a part of reading instruction in their …


The Child Client: Representing Children In Child Protective Proceedings, Merril Sobie Nov 2005

The Child Client: Representing Children In Child Protective Proceedings, Merril Sobie

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Part I of this article outlines the historical context and addresses the child's right to legal representation. Part II discusses the child's legal status by defining the specific legal interests, her procedural rights as a party to the litigation, the right to choose counsel, and the child's right to be involved as a participant. The penultimate Part analyzes the role of the child's counsel, including an outline of the relevant statutes, the diametrically opposed positions of state legislatures and the organized bar, and the hopelessly conflicting contemporary case law. The final Part addresses the fundamental deficiencies of the “best interests” …

The Effect Of Time Delays On The Stability Of Load Balancing Algorithms For Parallel Computations, Chaouki T. Abdallah, John Chiasson, Zhong Tang, Jean Ghanem, J. Douglas Birdwell, Majeed M. Hayat Nov 2005

The Effect Of Time Delays On The Stability Of Load Balancing Algorithms For Parallel Computations, Chaouki T. Abdallah, John Chiasson, Zhong Tang, Jean Ghanem, J. Douglas Birdwell, Majeed M. Hayat

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

A deterministic dynamic nonlinear time-delay system is developed to model load balancing in a cluster of computer nodes used for parallel computations. The model is shown to be self consistent in that the queue lengths cannot go negative and the total number of tasks in all the queues and the network are conserved (i.e., load balancing can neither create nor lose tasks). Further, it is shown that using the proposed load balancing algorithms, the system is stable in the sense of Lyapunov. Experimental results are presented and compared with the predicted results from the analytical model. In particular, simulations of …

Total Syntheses Of (+)-Geldanamycin, (-)-Ragaglitazar, And (+)-Kurasoin A And Phase-Transfer-Catalyzed Asymmetric Alkylation, Erik J. Hicken Nov 2005

Total Syntheses Of (+)-Geldanamycin, (-)-Ragaglitazar, And (+)-Kurasoin A And Phase-Transfer-Catalyzed Asymmetric Alkylation, Erik J. Hicken

Theses and Dissertations

Geldanamycin possesses various biological activities as seen in the NCI 60 cell line panel (13 nM avg., 70 nM SKBr-3 cells). The predominant mode of action providing these unique results arises from the ability of geldanamycin (GA) to bind to the chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). Despite its complicated functionality, the first total synthesis of GA was accomplished, which included two new reactions developed specifically to address the stereochemical features. The final step in the synthesis of GA was a demethylation-oxidation sequence to generate the desired para-quinone. This step could only be accomplished with HNO3/AcOH, producing GA in …

You Can't Take It With You: Constitutional Consequences Of Interstate Gender-Identity Rulings, Julie A. Greenberg, Marybeth Herald Nov 2005

You Can't Take It With You: Constitutional Consequences Of Interstate Gender-Identity Rulings, Julie A. Greenberg, Marybeth Herald

Washington Law Review

Recent U.S. decisions establishing a person's legal sex have adopted a kaleidoscope of approaches that range from the procreative (a man must be able to fertilize ovum and beget offspring, while a woman must be able to produce ova and bear offspring), to the religious (gender is immutably fixed by our Creator at birth), to the scientific (gender itself is a fact that may be established by medical and other evidence). Under current laws and state court rulings, a male-to-female transsex person is legally a woman in approximately one-half of the states and legally a man in the other half. …


Policing The Border Between Trademarks And Free Speech: Protecting Unauthorized Trademark Use In Expressive Works, Pratheepan Gulasekaram Nov 2005

Policing The Border Between Trademarks And Free Speech: Protecting Unauthorized Trademark Use In Expressive Works, Pratheepan Gulasekaram

Washington Law Review

Artists and other creators of expressive works often include trademarks and trademarked products as part of their works. They do so for a number of reasons, including lighthearted humor, critical cultural commentary, parody, or even simply to shock. In instances where such use is both unauthorized by and perceived as disparaging to the mark owner or the trademarked product, owners have attempted to sue under trademark law to enjoin the expressive use. This Article argues that, under a proper analysis of trademark law, precedent, and the free expression ideal enshrined in the First Amendment, mark owners should rarely, if ever, …


Solomon's Choice: The Spending Clause And First Amendment Rights In Forum For Academic & Institutional Rights V. Rumsfeld, Emily R. Hutchinson Nov 2005

Solomon's Choice: The Spending Clause And First Amendment Rights In Forum For Academic & Institutional Rights V. Rumsfeld, Emily R. Hutchinson

Washington Law Review

The Solomon Amendment denies federal funding to institutions of higher education that interfere with military recruiting on campus. In Forum for Academic & Institutional Rights v. Rumsfeld, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit examined the constitutionality of the Solomon Amendment using traditional First Amendment analysis. The court applied strict scrutiny and held that it was reasonably likely that the Solomon Amendment impermissibly infringed the First Amendment rights of an association of law schools and law faculty. This Note argues that the Solomon Amendment is a valid exercise of Congress's constitutionally-mandated duties to spend for the …

Efficient Xquery Processing Of Streamed Xml Fragments, Seo Young Ahn Nov 2005

Efficient Xquery Processing Of Streamed Xml Fragments, Seo Young Ahn

Computer Science and Engineering Theses - Archive

XStreamCast is a push-based streamed XML query processing system that supports multiple servers and clients. The servers broadcast streamed XML data while the clients register to these servers for a specific service and process streamed XML fragments. This thesis presents methods for efficient XQuery processing of streamed XML fragments for the client. The XQuery parser parses the XQuery given by the user first. The client processes the fragments and stores only the needed data for the query. The query is then applied to stored XML fragments. This system can be valuable for managing the memory of the client because it …


Investigation Of Pool Boiling Heat Transfer With Nanofluids, Gilberto Moreno Nov 2005

Investigation Of Pool Boiling Heat Transfer With Nanofluids, Gilberto Moreno

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses - Archive

This investigation conducts pool boiling experiments under saturated conditions (Tsat=60°C) using nanofluids as coolants. Four different nanofluids were tested including zinc oxide (ZnO)-water, aluminum oxide (Al2O3)-water, aluminum oxide (Al2O3)-water+ethylene glycol (ethylene glycol solution) and gold (Au)-water. At saturation (Tsat=60 °C), the pool boiling performance of Al2O3-water and ZnO-water nanofluids were similar. The maximum CHF enhancement as compared to predicted Zuber's [1] CHF evaluated at an equivalent saturation temperature is about 180% for Al2O3-water nanofluids and about 240% for ZnO-water nanofluids. In both cases, no degradation in the boiling heat transfer rate was observed for lower nanoparticle concentrations. The dispersion of …


The Thermal Characteristics Of Liquid-Heat-Spreader, Sang Muk Kwark Nov 2005

The Thermal Characteristics Of Liquid-Heat-Spreader, Sang Muk Kwark

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses - Archive

The present study is an experimental research of a liquid-heat-spreader (LHS) with saturated water at ~2.29 psia. A LHS, indirect liquid cooling module, was successfully fabricated using thin copper blocks and copper tubes using solder. Three types of LHS, Flat-type, L-type, and T-type, were developed for different orientations and were compared with solid metal blocks such as aluminum and copper. The Flat-type LHS, 100 (W) × 254 (L) × 3 (T) mm3, was designed for vertical orientation. It showed a remarkable thermal performance by dissipating heat flux of 119 W/cm2 with below 100? chip temperature at the typical condition. The …


A Cmos Ultra-Wideband Differential Low Noise Amplifier, Timothy Bryan Merkin Nov 2005

A Cmos Ultra-Wideband Differential Low Noise Amplifier, Timothy Bryan Merkin

Electrical Engineering Theses - Archive

In this thesis, a CMOS Ultra-wideband (UWB) Low noise Amplifier (LNA) was designed and simulated. In the design, specific architecture decisions were made in consideration of ultimately including this LNA in a system-on-chip implementation of an Ultra-wideband communication system. The basic architecture of the LNA designed herein exhibits a differential amplifier core with active input and output impedance matching, minimizing the number of expensive space consuming passive inductors necessary for passive impedance matching networks. The LNA maintains a gain of 16.4dB with a ±0.25dB ripple over the band of 3.1-6.2GHz. Despite the use of an active input matching stage, the …


Cmos 5th Derivative Gaussian Impulse Generator For Uwb Application, Shin-Chih Chang Nov 2005

Cmos 5th Derivative Gaussian Impulse Generator For Uwb Application, Shin-Chih Chang

Electrical Engineering Theses - Archive

A complete impulse generating system was designed and simulated which generates the fifth order derivative of the Gaussian pulse intended for use in an impulse-type ultra-wideband wireless communication system. By using a continuous-time FIR impulse shaping filter, the system transforms a normal Gaussian pulse signal obtained from an existing CMOS Gaussian pulse generator into its fifth derivative. The transformation filtering was accomplished without lengthening the time duration of the original pulse or causing any noticeable ringing effects. The final output waveform closely resembles the fifth derivative of the Gaussian pulse, and also satisfies the spectral mask emission requirements specified by …

An Overview Of Central Dizin Phonology And Morphology, Marvin Dean Beachy Nov 2005

An Overview Of Central Dizin Phonology And Morphology, Marvin Dean Beachy

Linguistics & TESOL Theses - Archive

Dizin (Dizi) is an Omotic language spoken in Southwest Ethiopia with three main dialects. This thesis focuses on Central Dizin phonology and morphology, but includes some data from Eastern Dizin and Western Dizin. Prolonged language contact with Amharic has affected the sound system of Dizin and numerous Amharic words have been borrowed. Features of the Dizin sound system include glottalized consonants, syllabic nasals, lengthened vowels, three phonemic tone levels and contour tones. Western Dizin has phonemic retroflex consonants. The glottal stop is analyzed as phonemic word initially before nasals, but not phonemic elsewhere. Dizin is polysynthetic and more agglutinative than …
