Investigation Of The Electronic Properties Of Organic Systems Using Electroabsorption Spectroscopy, Garrett F. Farrell Jan 2008

Investigation Of The Electronic Properties Of Organic Systems Using Electroabsorption Spectroscopy, Garrett F. Farrell

Doctoral

The aim of this project is to investigate the effect of bulk structural modification on the electronic properties of fullerene systems as measured using electronic and Electroabsorption (EA) spectroscopy. The existence of a unique solid state feature in C60 is the first indication that the material’s electronic properties may be influenced by its crystalline environment and as such merits investigation. The nature and extent of these interactions in the solid state is still unclear, in particular whether the molecular electrons remain located on the individual molecules or whether they are delocalised across the solid. The extent of these interactions has …

Editorial: Nutrition Research Reviews, Katherine Younger

Articles

We are all familiar with the dietary guideline exhorting us to eat so many portions of oily fish per week in order to boost our intakes of n-3 long-chain PUFA, but it is perhaps not so widely realised that the fish must themselves be provided with dietary n-3 long-chain PUFA or, possibly, their precursors (though, as in humans, the ability of carnivorous fish to elongate and desaturate n-3 PUFA appears to be limited).

Jean-Paul Marat: The Politics Of Death, Joseph Paul Wallace Jan 2008

Jean-Paul Marat: The Politics Of Death, Joseph Paul Wallace

Honors Theses

The following thesis discusses the death and quasi-deification of Jean-Paul Marat, politician and journalist of the French Revolution. I focus on the tensions between social, artistic, and political movements that sprung up in the wake of the radical’s martyrdom. I also demonstrate the drastic change in general attitudes and policies— political, social and artistic—toward Marat between the years of the Terror and Thermidor. I hope to prove that Marat, in transcending his own policies and words after death by becoming a visual and tactile symbol representing both social justice and political terror, is a pivotal figure for the French Revolution. …


Leaving It On The Field: A Review Of The Bowl Championship Series And Proposal Of A Postseason Playoff To Remedy The Negative Ethical Implications On Higher Education Of The Current Model, Thomas Benton York Jan 2008

Leaving It On The Field: A Review Of The Bowl Championship Series And Proposal Of A Postseason Playoff To Remedy The Negative Ethical Implications On Higher Education Of The Current Model, Thomas Benton York

Honors Theses

This thesis considers the current format of the postseason for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I-Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), critiques its ethical implications, and proposes a twelve-team postseason playoff to remedy the ethical dilemmas caused by the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and the commercialization of football at the Division I-FBS level. Research was focused on sports law journals, books detailing the history of college football, transcripts from Congressional hearings, and articles from prominent sports news sources. The first chapter outlines the evolution of college football since the advent of television as mass media and highlights the medium’s direct …


Left Against Left In Brazil: Party Rivalry, National Politics, And Ideological Change, Marcos De Moraes Cerdeira Jan 2008

Left Against Left In Brazil: Party Rivalry, National Politics, And Ideological Change, Marcos De Moraes Cerdeira

Honors Theses

This thesis looks at the relationship between the Workers’ Party and the Party of Brazilian Social Democracy -arguably the two most powerful parties in Brazil- and why, even though, both parties are considered leftist they have never formed an alliance. Through the first two chapters the thesis highlights the changes experienced by both parties from the 1980s to the early 2000s, and how each has become the party they are now. This thesis contains a case study that focuses on the relationship of both parties from 1988 through 2002 at the municipal level in the city of Ribeirao Preto, Sao …


Path Of The Dragon's Eye: Using Fantasy Elements In Realism, Winston Edward Jones, Jr. Jan 2008

Path Of The Dragon's Eye: Using Fantasy Elements In Realism, Winston Edward Jones, Jr.

Honors Theses

The stories presented in this thesis illustrate a common theme through the use of both fantasy and realism. Specifically, these dichotomous styles are used to comment on the nature of human desire. To represent desire, each story features an appearance and interaction with the titular item, the dragon’s eye. This item often serves as both representation and foil to the characters’ deepest desires. By interjecting this fantastic jewel into realistic situations, these stories attempt to utilize fantasy as a vehicle through which emotional tension is created and resolved. Also, the obvious juxtaposition of genres creates situations in which the reader …

Physiological Aging Of Potato Tubers Produced During Fall And Spring Growing Seasons And Stored Under Different Temperatures, Dilson A. Bisognin, Sergio T. De Freitas, Auri Brackmann, Jeronimo Luiz Andriolo, Engil Isadora Pujol Pereira, Douglas Renator Muller, Mauricio Guerra Bandinelli

School of Earth, Environmental, & Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

Adequate tuber storage is necessary to maintain a good availability of potato tubers in the market and to get seeds with adequate physiological age at planting. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of different storage temperatures on tuber physiological aging of three potato clones produced during fall and spring growing seasons. The experiment was carried out as factorial of three clones (Asterix, SMIJ461-1 and SMINIA793101-3) by four storage temperatures (4, 8, 12 and 25 ºC) and two growing seasons (fall and spring) in a random design with four replications. At 30-day intervals, tubers were evaluated from …


The United States And The International Court Of Justice: Coping With Antinomies, Sean D. Murphy Jan 2008

The United States And The International Court Of Justice: Coping With Antinomies, Sean D. Murphy

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

Since 1946, the United States has had an uneasy relationship with the International Court of Justice (ICJ or World Court or Court). This chapter addresses certain salient aspects of that relationship. Following an introductory Part I, Part II briefly sets forth three "antinomies" (i.e. equally rational but conflicting principles) in U.S. foreign relations that have had important ramifications for the U.S. relationship with the Court from the outset. First, the United States operates on the basis of conflicting principles with respect to the relevance of international law and institutions for U.S. foreign policy. These conflicting principles have been referred to …
