Canons Of Dissent: Anarchy, The 'Cold War' Canon, And The Anti-Statist Left In The United States, James Patrick Brown

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

This paper examines and questions two dominant narratives about the role of literary leftist intellectuals in the United States following World War II: the New Americanist "paradigm" and the corrective account of Old Left intellectuals that draws attention to the communist commitments of core public intellectuals whose cultural work had a lasting, progressive impact on American life. In order to critique both these versions of American leftist intellectual history, the United States' long tradition of anarchist dissent is re-established. Tracing out its submerged anarchism and anti-state themes, alternative political tendencies in literature and scholarship are identified as central to resisting …

Our History Of Political Repression: An Interview With Ellen Schrecker, Victor Cohen

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

Ellen Schrecker, an historian who teaches and lives in New York City, is the author of two seminal works on the impact of McCarthyism. No Ivory Tower (New York: Oxford UP, 1986) provides an invaluable look into the workings of McCarthyism in a single institution - academia in the United States - and Many are the Crimes (Boston: Little, Brown and Co, 1998) expanded that analysis into a comprehensive look into the history of McCarthyism as a whole. She has recently edited a collection of essays on the impact of the Cold War on American life - Cold War Triumphalism …

Bureau Of Letters: Literary Federalism, The Hoover Raids, And The New Negro Renaissance, William J. Maxwell

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

Examining J. Edgar Hoover's career as a literary federalist before he assumed the FBI directorship in 1924, "Bureau of Letters" traces the unexpected origins of the FBI's constitutive fascination with African-American modernism.

History, Ethnicity And Religion And The Sudanese North-South Conflict, N'Mah Yilla

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

Identity formation or rather the Arab-Muslim Northerner vs. the African-Christian/animist Southerner identities are at the crux of the Sudanese North-South conflict. Thus, in order to understand the root causes of the violent war in Sudan, this paper seeks to chart Sudanese history in order to uncover when and why Sudanese identities developed. By examining three distinct and important eras of Sudanese modern history, the Turco-Egyptian regime (or Turkiyya) from 1820-1893, the Mahdiyya from 1893-1898, and the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium from 1898-1956, it becomes clear that there is long legacy of government preference and economic development in Northern Sudan while largely neglecting …

Significance Of Altitude And Posting Density On Lidar-Derived Elevation Accuracy On Hazardous Waste Sites, María J. García-Quijano, John R. Jensen, Michael E. Hodgson, Brian C. Hadley, John B. Gladden, Lewis A. Lapine

Faculty Publications

This research evaluated the vertical accuracy of two lidar-derived elevation datasets acquired from two different altitudes over a clay-capped hazardous waste site located on the Savannah River Site (SRS), South Carolina, using the same Optech ALTM 2050 lidar sensor and Cessna 337 platform. Both missions provided adequate elevation estimates (low-altitude RMSEz ≈ 6 cm; high-altitude RMSEz ≈ 14 cm.) A quantitative comparison was performed to determine how decreasing platform altitude and increasing lidar posting density affected the vertical elevation accuracy. Higher posting densities did not significantly improve the vertical accuracy of lidar-derived elevation data. Conversely, acquiring the lidar-derived elevation data …

The Impact Of Incorporating Specific Literacy Strategies In A Mathematics Classroom, Katherine Rudnicki

Mathematical and Computing Sciences Masters

This research study looked at the impact of incorporating specific literacy strategies into a mathematics classroom. The literacy strategies used in this study included graphic organizers, connecting picture books to math content, summarizing and think aloud techniques, and student journals for reflection. The strategies used were beneficial in promoting mathematical concepts and ideas in new and different ways. It was found that student engagement increased with the variety of strategies used. Student vocabulary and classroom discussion began to develop in a positive way in terms of accuracy and insightfulness as a result of the literacy strategies used. Implementation of the …

A Comparative Analysis Of Green Roof Designs Including Depth Of Media, Drainage Layer Materials, And Pollution Control Media, Matt Kelly

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Population growth has lead to an increase in development and impervious areas in urban settings. Post-development conditions cause several problems for stormwater management such as limited space for stormwater storage systems and the conveyance of pollution picked up by runoff to near by water bodies. Green Roofs with cisterns have been shown to attenuate the peak flow of storm events and reduce the pollution load leaving a site and entering nearby water bodies. The purpose of this research is to expand the available research data on green roofs with cisterns by investigating the water quality and hydrology effects of different …

A Realistic Evaluation Of Climate Change Litigation Through The Lens Of A Hypothetical Lawsuit, Shi-Ling Hsu

University of Colorado Law Review

Several dozen cases that can be classified as "climate change litigation" have been filed worldwide, and legal scholars have already generated a considerable amount of writing on the phenomenon. The debate and scholarship has sometimes gotten ahead of itself, reflecting on the normative implications of outcomes that are still speculative at this point. This Article seeks to ground this debate by analyzing the actual legal doctrines that may serve as bases for liability, and seeks to make a realistic evaluation of the likelihood of success of these types of suits. Climate change litigation, in its various forms, raises issues of …

The Wto And Biofuels: The Possibility Of Unilateral Sustainability Requirements, Enrique Rene De Vera

Chicago Journal of International Law

This Development introduces the international legal issues raised by increasing trade in biofuels. Section II of the Development surveys the current biofuel landscape, providing statistics on the use and trade of biofuels, and discusses the prospect for increased production and trade in biofuels. Section III discusses the concept of sustainability-particularly in the context of biofuel production-as well as WTO treatment of past efforts to regulate trade based on environmental concerns. In conclusion, Section IV argues that current WTO jurisprudence leaves open the possibility that WTO members may rightfully discriminate against unsustainably produced biofuels.

Evaluating Scale To Achieve Optimal Image Classification Accuracy In New Hampshire Forests, Brianna L. Heath

Master's Theses and Capstones

New England forest complexity creates obstacles for land cover classification using satellite imagery. New methodologies such as object-oriented image analysis exhibit potential to improve classification. Although these methods have proven more accurate than traditional methods, it has been unclear what resolution yields the most accurate classification. As high resolution imagery increases classification difficulty and lower resolutions may not provide sufficiently detailed maps, this study explored the use of object-oriented classification to classify several resolutions of satellite imagery (Landsat TM, SPOT, IKONOS) at various spatial scales.

Although Landsat TM imagery yielded the highest accuracy, all classification results were unacceptable for practical …
