Blurring The Lines: The Intermingling Of Garden And Theater In Seventeenth Century France, Abbie Elizabeth Rufener

Theses and Dissertations

Seventeenth century French society was a time in which the arts flourished and were used to create an eminence of power and absolutism. The gardens of Vaux-le-Vicomte were commissioned by Nicolas Fouquet and designed by André Le Nôtre. The gardens created a political and social space through the characteristics of design and standards of order which together conveyed power and absolutism. Louis XIV, newly crowned king, recognized at Vaux the perfect vehicle for the portrayal of power. French theater at the same time was gaining popularity and establishing itself as a great art form. Similar to the gardens at Vaux …

The Anchor, Volume 122.10: November 19, 2008, Hope College

The Anchor: 2008

The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor's history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular.

Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project Annual Report, 2007-08, Michael S. Nassaney

Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project

This past year (September 1, 2007 through August 31, 2008) was arguably the most productive for the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project since the site was initially identified on the ground by Western Michigan University archaeologists in 1998. The project has become one of the premier public archaeology programs in the Midwest, guided by the philosophy of community service learning in which students provide a community service and learn through civic engagement. Investigations and interpretations have spawned a number of significant recent developments. First, the City of Niles and Western Michigan University entered into a 10-year collaborative agreement to ensure …

Nobel Winner Listens To Testimony Of Workers Rounded Up In Iowa Raid, Carol Hoverman

Postville Project Documents

Catholic News Service article from Nov. 19, 2008: She came from Guatemala to Postville for one purpose.

"I have come to listen specifically to the testimonies of the people who have suffered abuses here from the raid," Rigoberta Menchu said. "I come not only to listen to your suffering, but also to identify with your suffering. Your pain is my pain."

So began the message of the 1992 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for her work in human rights, first in Guatemala and now on the international stage.

Exploring Future Workforce Perceptions Of Leadership And Relationships, Brandon J. Semler

Theses and Dissertations

It is the aim of this study to increase available literature regarding leadership by identifying the most common perceptions of college students about leadership and relationships. With increased understanding of the perceptions of college student regarding leadership and relationships in comparison to definitions of leadership and relationships in current literature Will come improvements in communication strategies that aid in the training of future leaders in the organizational environment. College students at the University of North Dakota were interviewed about their perceptions of leadership and relationships using the focus group method. Qualitative analysis was used to discover common themes among these …

Personality Factors Influencing Bemidji State University Industrial Technology Majors Making Heavy Industrial Construction Career Choices, Timothy M. Brockman

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to apply Holland's theory and gather information about Bemidji State University (BSU) construction management (CM) students, CM graduates, CM faculty, and the heavy industrial construction workforce for a greater understanding of students, the academic environment, and the heavy industrial construction environment. A secondary purpose was to help increase recruitment and retention of students within the CM emphasis of the Industrial Technology major at BSU, and provide support for development of curricula within the CM emphasis as it meets needs of the construction industry. The study examined five research questions using Holland's Self-Directed Search (SDS) …

The Design And Synthesis Of Zinc(Ii) Ion Fluorescence Sensors, Julius Ngunde Ngwendson

Theses and Dissertations

This work is a study of a new class of aromatic amines as fluorescent zinc sensors. N-(Carboxymethyl)-N-[3-[(carboxymethyl)amino]-2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl]glycinate exhibits more than 20-fold fluorescence enhancement in the presence of Zn(II) ions when excited at 300 nm. This compound shows a fluorescence emission at 390 nm, which in the presence of Zn(II) ion exhibits a 20 nm emission blue shift. The tetraacetate version, potassium N,N'-(2-methoxy-5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bis[ N-(carboxymethyl)]glycinate, exhibits a 7-fold sensitivity to Zn(II) ion, and there is no emission band shift observed. Investigations point to the methoxy group for the ratiometric behavior and increased sensitivity to zinc. The diacetate versions—sodium N-(carboxymethyl)- N-(2-methoxyphenyl)glycinate, sodium N,N'-(2-methoxy-5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bisglycinate …

Neutralization-Sensitive R5 Shiv-2873nip Encoding Env From A Infant With Recent Hiv Clade C Infection, Nagadenahalli B. Siddappa, Ruijiang Song, Victor G.

HIV-C (HIV-C) accounts for >56% of all HIV infections worldwide. To investigate vaccine safety and efficacy in non-human primates, a pathogenic, R5-tropic, neutralization sensitive simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) encoding HIV-C env would be desirable. We have constructed SHIV-2873Ni, an R5 SHIV encoding a primary pediatric HIV-C env isolated from a 2-month old Zambian infant, who progressed to death within one year of birth. SHIV-2873Ni was constructed using SHIV-1157ipd3N4 (Song et al., J. Viol. 80:8729-38, 2006) as backbone since the latter contains additional NF-κB sites in the long terminal repeats (LTRs) to enhance viral replicative capacity. The parental virus, SHIV-2873Ni, was …

Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Modulates Nmda Receptors In The Central Nervous System, Javier H. Jara

Theses and Dissertations

Multiple cytokines are secreted in the brain during inflammatory conditions and likely affect neuronal survival. Previous studies demonstrated that glutamate and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) kill neurons via activation of the NMDA and TNFα receptors, respectively. Nevertheless the mechanisms of neuronal death are not completely elucidated. The goal of this study was to characterize the signaling cross-talk pathway initiated during this inflammation-related mechanism of cell death. Stimulation of mouse cortical neuron cultures with TNFα resulted in a transient increase in NMDA receptor-dependent calcium influx that is additive with NMDA stimulation and inhibited by pretreatment with the NMDA receptor antagonist. …

Extended Kalman Filter For Estimation Of Parameters In Nonlinear State-Space Models Of Biochemical Networks, Xiaodian Sun, Li Jin, Momiao Xiong

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

It is system dynamics that determines the function of cells, tissues and organisms. to develop mathematical models and estimate their parameters are an essential issue for studying dynamic behaviors of biological systems which include metabolic networks, genetic regulatory networks and signal transduction pathways, under perturbation of external stimuli. In general, biological dynamic systems are partially observed. Therefore, a natural way to model dynamic biological systems is to employ nonlinear state-space equations. Although statistical methods for parameter estimation of linear models in biological dynamic systems have been developed intensively in the recent years, the estimation of both states and parameters of …
