Trade, Technique And Composition Effects: What Is Behind The Fall In World-Wide So2 Emissions 1990-2000?, Jean-Marie Grether, Nicole Andréa Mathys, Jaime De Melo

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

Combining unique data bases on emissions with sectoral output and employment data, we study the sources of the fall in world-wide SO2 emissions and estimate the impact of trade on emissions. Contrarily to concerns raised by environmentalists, an emission-decomposition exercise shows that scale effects are dominated by technique effects working towards a reduction in emissions. A second exercise comparing the actual trade situation with an autarky benchmark estimates that trade, by allowing clean countries to become net importers of emissions, leads to a 10% increase in world emissions with respect to autarky in 1990, a figure that shrinks to 3.5% …

Child Safety Restraint Use In Maine 2007, Al Leighton Ba, Jen Dodge

Children, Youth, & Families

This study was conducted from March through May, 2007. The sampling and observation method for the present study is designed to be generally comparable to the 1995 study while incorporating some adjustments. The general approach to the design is to sample from every county in the state, to distribute observation sites across counties according to their population, to select locations where traffic must come to a complete stop in order to allow observation of both front-seat and rear-seat child restraint details, and to select a mix of signalized (RGA) intersections and stop-sign-controlled intersections according to their traffic volume. This probability-based …

"Good, Not Safe": Structure Vs. Chaos In Narnia And The Writing Workshop, Ethan Campbell, Robert Jackson

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Considers Lewis as a member of a writing group, and its effect on his narrative techniques. Examines Lewis’s self-imposition of tight structure when writing for children, and the moments when his story escapes his own rules. Discusses using Lewis in the creative writing classroom.

Imitative Desire In Tolkien's Mythology: A Girardian Perspective, Hayden Head

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Tests the theories of literary critic René Girard against selected stories from The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion and finds some interesting cases of applicability, particularly in the connected stories of Morgoth, Sauron, and Saruman, and in the various Ring-bearers, particularly Gollum. Contrasts Tom Bombadil’s lack of desire and envy.

Increased Hemorrhagic Transformation And Altered Infarct Size And Localization After Experimental Stroke In A Rat Model Type 2 Diabetes, Adviye Ergul, Mostafa M. Elgebaly, Mary-Louise Risher, Weiguo Li, Hazem Elewa, Jeffrey A. Switzer, Christiana Hall, Anna Kozak, Susan C. Fagan

Biomedical Sciences

Background: Interruption of flow through of cerebral blood vessels results in acute ischemic stroke. Subsequent breakdown of the blood brain barrier increases cerebral injury by the development of vasogenic edema and secondary hemorrhage known as hemorrhagic transformation (HT). Diabetes is a risk factor for stroke as well as poor outcome of stroke. The current study tested the hypothesis that diabetes-induced changes in the cerebral vasculature increase the risk of HT and augment ischemic injury.

Methods: Diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) or control rats underwent 3 hours of middle cerebral artery occlusion and 21 h reperfusion followed by evaluation of infarct size, hemorrhage …

Letters To Malcolm And The Trouble With Narnia: C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, And Their 1949 Crisis, Eric Seddon

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Proposes an intriguing solution to the question of Tolkien and Lewis’s estrangement in 1949: that it was Tolkien’s objections to anti-Catholic sentiments expressed in Lewis’s Letters to Malcolm and some beliefs deeply incompatible with Tolkien’s Catholicism expressed in the depiction of Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia that initially estranged them.

Looks at ruins and other archaeological sites in Middle-earth and their place in the cultural history of its various races, and by reflection, the place of archaeology in our own cultural memories. Considers Lake-town, the Barrow-Downs, Weathertop, and other locations to show differing attitudes toward and uses of the past.

Collision Broadening Using Alkali-Filled, Hollow Core Fibers, Luke P. Rodgers

Theses and Dissertations

The goal of this research was to demonstrate the possibility of collision broadening in a cesium-filled, hollow-core fiber as an alternative to the proven technique of pressure broadening. Theoretically, alkali electrons should relax from the ²P_3/2 to the ²P_1/2 level and the absorption spectrum should collisionally broaden due to the presence of fiber walls, as opposed to the more common pressure broadening method. An absorption dip located at 852.34nm was recorded in a pressure broadened comparison leg. This data was used as a baseline during analysis of the fiber leg's data. While the fiber was successfully …
