Transfer Students And The Success Of Registration On Degree Completion And Retention, Heather Marie Soleim Jan 2010

Transfer Students And The Success Of Registration On Degree Completion And Retention, Heather Marie Soleim

Education

A transfer student has different needs than a first-year student. For this reason, many four-year institutions have developed orientation and registration programs for transfer students. The transfer orientation and registration programs differ from the traditional programs that a first-year student attends and are potentially designed to meet the wide scale needs of a diverse transfer student population. Have these programs had any effect on the academic success of transfer students? Research on the effectiveness of these programs 1s scarce. The purpose of this study was to determine if attending registration programs developed at North Dakota State University improved degree completion …


Jacques Lacan And Mary Shelley: Repressed Abandonment In Frankenstein, Kyle Rasmussen Garey 111 Jan 2010

Jacques Lacan And Mary Shelley: Repressed Abandonment In Frankenstein, Kyle Rasmussen Garey 111

English

Mary Shelley's early life was fraught with developmental problems. Like Victor Frankenstein's Creation, she lacked a genuine chance to experience what Jacques Lacan calls the Real with her mother. While some readings of Frankenstein point to Mary's early development as being successful and properly supported by William Godwin's love, thus making her upbringing parallel to Victor's, Mary nonetheless experienced many of the same deprivations the Creation in Frankenstein did. In this paper, the author maintains that, based on a Lacanian analysis of Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein's emotional detachment from his Creation and others reflects Mary Shelley's psychological sense that she had …


The Feminist Cure: Feminist Identity As A Shield From Hyper-Sexualized L'Vledia Induced Self-Objectification In College Women, Natalie Smith Carlson Jan 2010

The Feminist Cure: Feminist Identity As A Shield From Hyper-Sexualized L'Vledia Induced Self-Objectification In College Women, Natalie Smith Carlson

English

This paper explores the impact of hyper-sexualized media on college women in terms of inducing self-objectification and/or inhibiting feminist identity. The survey and resulting analysis showed participants' feminist orientation ostensibly affected their inclination to self-objectify after watching and responding to a slideshow of common images of women in our culture. By comparing the reactions of women \Vith high feminist orientation and low feminist orientation, suggestions were clear about connections between an identification with feminism and a propensity to value the self and other women for characteristics beyond those of appearance and sexuality.


Lord Of The Living Souls: Dominion And The Spiritual Lives Of Animals In Milton's Paradise Lost, Kurt William Russow Jan 2010

Lord Of The Living Souls: Dominion And The Spiritual Lives Of Animals In Milton's Paradise Lost, Kurt William Russow

English

This paper examines Milton's views of the spiritual status of animals as presented in Paradise lost. It discusses how Milton enters into discussion with the discourses of 111 theology, philosophy, and both antique and modern science to construct his own nuanced view on the dominion humankind was theologically mandated to have over animals. Milton promotes a complex animal ethic based simultaneously on both hierarchy and kinship. Ultimately this ethic is used not only to celebrate animals, but also to celebrate a stewardship-oriented notion of a divinely ordained hierarchy.


Time To Play The Religion Card: Messiah Complexes In Battlestar Galactica, Carissa Noel Wolf Jan 2010

Time To Play The Religion Card: Messiah Complexes In Battlestar Galactica, Carissa Noel Wolf

English

In 2003, Battlestar Galactica (BSG) was re-invented from its 1978 roots and updated to a post-apocalyptic narrative that reflects numerous issues in current American culture, including the influence of religious rhetoric in post-9/11 politics. As theorized by psychoanalyst Carl Jung, the fictions of a culture reveal the subconscious values and beliefs of that culture, 1 and BSG has proven fertile ground for such investigations. Four major compilations of critical essays on BSG have been published to date, with some articles analyzing the post-9/11 politics and others on the use of religion in the narrative, but few examine these elements in …


"Putting On My Feminist Pants": How Academic Feminists Use Clothing To Construct Professional Identity, Katie Marie Gunter Jan 2010

"Putting On My Feminist Pants": How Academic Feminists Use Clothing To Construct Professional Identity, Katie Marie Gunter

English

Feminism has traditionally been concerned with issues of women's bodies; however, an examination of women's bodies in clothing has been largely overlooked, especially in relation to feminists themselves. Constructing identity for professional feminists in the context of clothing calls into question the traditional feminist binary of privileging the mind over the body. While many feminist writers discuss a rift between second and third wave feminists concerning views on clothing, no one has produced data to show that these views are still held. This paper investigates how second and third wave professional feminists view clothing in relation to the mind/body binary …


The Power To (Re )Produce: Biological Determinism In Mcteague., Stacey Jo Tobias Jan 2010

The Power To (Re )Produce: Biological Determinism In Mcteague., Stacey Jo Tobias

English

In McTeague: A Story of San Francisco, Frank Norris explores life among the working class of Polk Street. Through his unflattering portrayal of all the immigrant characters in the novel, Norris demonstrates his well-documented beliefs in inherited degeneracy. The relationship between Zerkow, a Polish Jew, and Maria Macapa, a Mexican maid, especially highlights these beliefs. 111 Though many scholars have approached Zerkow and Maria as individual characters, it is the complex dynamic of their relationship which this paper explores. Through the utilization of Marxist notions of commodity and feminist notions of the body and reproduction, Maria's sacrifices as an immigrant …

Joint Compression And Encryption, Ahana Ghosh Jan 2010

Joint Compression And Encryption, Ahana Ghosh

Electrical and Computer Engineering

This research work proposes two techniques of joint compression and encryption using Shanon Fano Elias coding and Arithmetic coding respectively. The first scheme proposed is called Adaptive Shannon-Fano-Elias code where it has been observed that the complexity of attacks is exponential in m, where m is the length of the string being compressed. Since mis usually very large (> 220 ), the security of our scheme is very high. The main reason why our scheme's security depends on m is the fact that all attacks require the ciphertext to be scanned from left to right. The algorithm proposed does not …
