Scientists And Journalists: Framing The Interaction, Marie E. Gilbert
Scientists And Journalists: Framing The Interaction, Marie E. Gilbert
Communication
"Humans have sent fellow beings into space, created cyberspace, determined the likely origins of our universe, and identified the genetic origins of ourselves. As members of a variety of broader, general publics, each of us likely came to know about these scientific outcomes as the result of a journalist talking to a scientist, followed by the journalists' work reaching us through television, radio, a print medium, or the Web. Few members of the public are reported to understand much about science and scientists are portrayed as unable to communicate to the everyday person. The media, as the primary source of …
The Germans Of Roberts Cove, Louisiana: German Rice Cultivation And The Making Of A German-American Community In Acadia Parish, 1881-1917, Lydia Soileau
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
The Germans of Geilenkirchen-Hengesburg region of Germany were convinced by relative and friend, Father Peter Leonard Thevis, of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, to emigrate to the United States for a number of reasons: political, religious, and economic. After establishing themselves on land previously used for grazing cattle, the Germans soon discovered rice could easily be cultivated in large amounts. Along with their success as rice farmers in Roberts Cove, Louisiana, these Germans soon involved themselves in politics and engaged one another and the surrounding community in numerous court cases. These court cases, overlooked by previous historians, demonstrate that the …
Comparison Of Power Flow Algorithms For Inclusion In On-Line Power Systems Operation Tools, Naveen Bokka
Comparison Of Power Flow Algorithms For Inclusion In On-Line Power Systems Operation Tools, Naveen Bokka
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
The goal of this thesis is to develop a new, fast, adaptive load flow algorithm that "automatically alternates" numerical methods including Newton-Raphson method, Gauss-Seidel method and Gauss method for a load flow run to achieve less run time. Unlike the proposed method, the traditional load flow analysis uses only one numerical method at a time. This adaptive algorithm performs all the computation for finding the bus voltage angles and magnitudes, real and reactive powers for the given generation and load values, while keeping track of the proximity to convergence of a solution. This work focuses on finding the algorithm that …
Connecting Religion And Work: Patterns And Influences Of Work-Faith Integration, Monty Lynn, Michael J. Naughton, Steve Vanderveen
Connecting Religion And Work: Patterns And Influences Of Work-Faith Integration, Monty Lynn, Michael J. Naughton, Steve Vanderveen
Management Sciences
Religiosity can significantly impact human behavior yet little is known about how religious belief and practice integrate with work. Using the Faith at Work Scale, we surveyed Christian workers in the United States (n = 374) and found that work-faith integration was positively associated with faith maturity, church attendance, age and denominational strictness, and negatively associated with organizational size. Denominational groups varied in their degree of integration but displayed similar patterns across dimensions of integration.Work-faith integration was manifest most strongly in integration related to the self, and somewhat less so in areas related to others and in transcendent aspects of …
"The Free State Of New Orleans": Local Law Enforcement And Illegal Gambling In The 1920s, Edward John Appel Jr.
"The Free State Of New Orleans": Local Law Enforcement And Illegal Gambling In The 1920s, Edward John Appel Jr.
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines illegal gambling in New Orleans and surrounding parishes in the 1920s. It will focus on a series of raids mounted by the Louisiana National Guard to end illegal gambling in both St. Bernard and Jefferson Parishes in August and November of 1928 and again in February of 1929. Corrupt leadership and public toleration allowed gambling houses in both St. Bernard and Jefferson parishes to operate openly for nearly an entire decade. Pressure from economic, religious and civic organizations within the city of New Orleans forced newly elected Governor Huey P. Long to take swift action in the …
Barely There Tales: A Phenomenological Study Of Stories Told By Pre-Service Teachers, Cynthia Ybos
Barely There Tales: A Phenomenological Study Of Stories Told By Pre-Service Teachers, Cynthia Ybos
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Teacher stories were once relegated to informal gatherings but more recently this aspect of teacher development is being carefully studied in more formalized settings because it is believed to be an important part of teacher development. New ways are being sought to use various aspects of storytelling to help pre-service teachers develop important teaching skills through reflection on experience, dialogue journals, case studies and autobiography. Despite these efforts at the university level, it is especially difficult for pre-service teachers to integrate and apply theories from their methods courses to actual classroom practice. Less effort has been focused on storytelling processes …
Albert Baldwin Wood, The Screw Pump, And The Modernization Of New Orleans, Nicole Romagossa
Albert Baldwin Wood, The Screw Pump, And The Modernization Of New Orleans, Nicole Romagossa
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Albert Baldwin Wood and his screw pumps modernized New Orleans by bringing flood-free streets and cleaner water to the city while providing the potential for growth by pumping swamp lands dry. While Wood was never part of the local Progressive movement, his work with the pumps fit with Progressive initiatives for modernization. At first, the screw pumps removed rain water from the streets. Then New Orleans expanded the drainage to include sewerage removal and water purification. The pumps successfully drained thousands of acres of land once considered uninhabitable swamp land. This additional land extended New Orleans city limits but also …

The Effects Of Rhes On Opioid Analgesia, Franklin Lee
The Effects Of Rhes On Opioid Analgesia, Franklin Lee
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Rhes (Ras homolog enriched in striatum) has been identified as a novel monomeric G-protein involved in dopaminergic and other signaling in the striatum. Given the many effects of opioids that involve striatal circuitry, genetically engineered mice that are incapable of making Rhes (rhes-/-) and their control littermates (rhes+/+) were subjected to behavioral tests to determine if any differences existed in opioid analgesia, tolerance, withdrawal, reward, and locomotion. Rhes-/- mice showed an increased opioid mediated analgesia, along with an absence of tolerance and decrease in withdrawal when compared with rhes+/+ littermates. However, no significant changes were seen in opioid induced locomotor …
Forensic Reconstruction Of Fragmented Variable Bitrate Mp3 Files, Abhilash Sajja
Forensic Reconstruction Of Fragmented Variable Bitrate Mp3 Files, Abhilash Sajja
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
File carving is a technique used to recover data from a digital device without the help of file system metadata. The current file carvers use techniques such as using a list of header and footer values and key word searching to retrieve the information specific to a file type. These techniques tend to fail when the files to be recovered are fragmented. Recovering the fragmented files is one of the primary challenges faced by file carving. In this research we focus on Variable Bit Rate (VBR) MP3 files. MP3 is one of the most widely used file formats for storing …
An Underwater Channel Model And Chirp Slope Keying Modulation Scheme Performance, Brice Zoh
An Underwater Channel Model And Chirp Slope Keying Modulation Scheme Performance, Brice Zoh
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Chirp-Slope Keying (CSK) is a new and innovative digital modulation scheme for underwater data transmission. The underwater environment brings up several challenges to the manufacturing and operation of communication systems. This thesis shows through analysis and simulations the effectiveness of Chirp-Slope Keying (CSK) in providing a satisfying performance in underwater communication. The experiment consists of modulating a chirp slope by binary numbers (representing our data). '0' is represented by a linear- down chirp and '1' is represented by a linear-up chirp. The received data is first processed by a correlator receiver. Then, the detection of either binary symbol is obtained …
The Petrochemical Industrial Complex Of The St. Charles Parish Industrial Corridor And Its Influence On Urbanization Patterns, Darin Acosta
The Petrochemical Industrial Complex Of The St. Charles Parish Industrial Corridor And Its Influence On Urbanization Patterns, Darin Acosta
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
This thesis explores the impact that the petrochemical industry has had on the built environment of Norco, St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. Previous scholars have suggested that heavy industry in Norco consumes a majority of the Mississippi River's natural levee, which is the most elevated and flood resistant land in the town. In order to test these observations, the author of this thesis has collected parcel-level land use data in Norco to determine the flood hazard and topographical characteristics of these various land uses. Spatial calculations, run using Geographic Information System software, have determined that heavy industrial land uses in Norco …
Resilience Characteristics Of Master's-Level Counseling Students, J. Raul Machuca
Resilience Characteristics Of Master's-Level Counseling Students, J. Raul Machuca
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Resilience characteristics typically have been studied among children and adolescents. A new line of research on resilience is focused on exploring the resilience characteristics of adults exposed to short and long-term adversity. In the present study, 585 master's-level counseling students responded to the Resilience Scale (Wagnild & Young, 1993). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between counseling students' level of resilience and specific background variables (age, gender, marital status, ethnicity, education, income, employment, living situation, sexual orientation, and country of origin), counselor-education program variables (primary field of study, number of credits taken, academic status, professional affiliations, …

LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to determine the existence of a glass ceiling effect within community colleges by examining faculty, staff and administrator's perceptions of a glass ceiling as it relates to the advancement of women at their institutions. This was done by using a cross-sectional survey administered electronically to faculty, staff and administrators in community colleges in the United States who were members of the American Association of Community Colleges. Four hundred fifty seven participants provided responses for the study. Results of ANOVA of perceptions of facilitators and barriers to advancement revealed there was a significant difference in …
Retention And Graduation Rates As Performance Indicators In 2-Year And 4-Year Postsecondary Institutions, Lisa Watson
Retention And Graduation Rates As Performance Indicators In 2-Year And 4-Year Postsecondary Institutions, Lisa Watson
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
The focus of this dissertation is on performance indicators – specifically, retention and graduation indicators - that impact allocation of the ever-dwindling public sources of money. Decreasing revenue trends make understanding the performance indicators that are often used to fund postsecondary institutions very important. There is a significant amount of literature on funding, types of funding, and performance indicators used in funding; however, there is very little literature on quantitative differences on standard performance indicators in 2-year and 4- year postsecondary institutions. The purpose of this study is to look at retention and graduation rates for part-time and full-time students …

Improving The Enabling Environment For Electronic Communications And Ict Development In Kosova : [Presentation Given On November 17, 2010], Agim Kukaj
Theses
This Capstone Project addresses an important problem hampering growth and development in the Kosova electronic communications sector, namely that its legislative enabling environment is seriously out of phase with current communications technology convergence, modern competition-based regulatory practices, and European Union (EU) information society policies. This is because the existing Law on Telecommunications is eight years old and urgently requires updating, and at the urging of the European Commission (EC), has led Government to commit to completing a new Electronic Communications Law based on EU legislation by end 2010. Specifically, of the many issues to be addressed by a new legislative …

First-Generation Effects On Development Time Of Outcrossing Between Geographically Isolated And Seasonally Isolated Populations Of Pink Salmon (Oncorhynchus Gorbuscha), Jesse D. Echave
Fisheries
Bootstrap analyses of hatch data collected during two independent experiments revealed that hybridization between pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) breeding populations separated at either a large geographic scale or a fine temporal scale can influence development time. Restricted maximum likelihood estimators also revealed that sire, dam, cross, and parental interaction can influence genetic variance associated with development time at either scale. Few studies have investigated the extent of local adaptation that results from fine-scale ecological variation, the genetic underpinnings of that adaptation, or the potential impacts outbreeding at that level may have on fitness. We tested whether or not local adaptation …
Characterization And Fluid Flow Properties Of Frozen Rock Systems Of Umiat Oil Field, Alaska, Vasil Godabrelidze
Characterization And Fluid Flow Properties Of Frozen Rock Systems Of Umiat Oil Field, Alaska, Vasil Godabrelidze
Engineering
The Umiat field, located in northwestern Alaska between the Brooks Range and the Arctic Ocean, potentially contains the largest accumulation of oil in Naval Petroleum Reserve No.4. Most of the oil is found within the permafrost zone. The main oil-producing zones in the Umiat field are marine sandstones in the Grandstand Formation of the Cretaceous Nanushuk group. Although the temperatures are close to freezing, the oil in the Umiat field remains unfrozen due to its very high API gravity. However, this results in a very unique pore space containing frozen water and oil, posing a particular challenge to characterization and …
Characterization Of Subsurface Hydraulic Conductivity Along The Proposed Alaska Gas Line Corridor Using Geophysical Signatures, Peter A. Calvin
Characterization Of Subsurface Hydraulic Conductivity Along The Proposed Alaska Gas Line Corridor Using Geophysical Signatures, Peter A. Calvin
Engineering
"The objective of this research was to explore a cost-effective and non-invasive methodology to characterize spatial variability of hydraulic conductivity using airborne electromagnetic (AEM) signatures as an alternative to traditional techniques such as borehole sampling. The relationship of AEM measured apparent resistivity and magnetic field strength was explored using a small dataset that included 180 natural moisture (NM) content data and a total dataset of 546 grain size distributions that excluded the NM. The grain size distributions were used to develop soil indicator parameter and to estimate the hydraulic conductivity (K*) using pedo-transfer functions. Predictive models were developed using three …
Numerical Modeling For In-Stream Hydrokinetic Resources Assessment, Paul Xavier Duvoy
Numerical Modeling For In-Stream Hydrokinetic Resources Assessment, Paul Xavier Duvoy
Engineering
"During recent years the viability of extracting river energy using hydrokinetic devices became a topic that brought in national attention due to higher fuel costs, and an increased demand of electric energy. A tool for hydrokinetic energy potential assessment in rivers, HYDROKAL, which stands for Hydrokinetic Calculator, was developed. This tool was generated in Fortran 90 programming language as an external module for the CCHE2D, an existing two-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model developed by researchers at the National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering, University of Mississippi. Velocity outputs generated by the CCHE2D model are used by HYDROKAL to estimate instantaneous …
The Effect Of Raters And Rating Conditions On The Reliability Of The Missionary Teaching Assessment, Abigail Christine Ure
The Effect Of Raters And Rating Conditions On The Reliability Of The Missionary Teaching Assessment, Abigail Christine Ure
Theses and Dissertations
This study investigated how 2 different rating conditions, the controlled rating condition (CRC) and the uncontrolled rating condition (URC), effected rater behavior and the reliability of a performance assessment (PA) known as the Missionary Teaching Assessment (MTA). The CRC gives raters the capability to manipulate (pause, rewind, fast-forward) video recordings of an examinee's performance as they rate while the URC does not give them this capability (i.e., the rater must watch the recording straight through without making any manipulations). Few studies have compared the effect of these two rating conditions on ratings. Ryan et al. (1995) analyzed the impact of …
Toward A Database Of Geometric Interrelationships Of Protein Secondary Structure Elements For De Novo Protein Design, Prediction And Analysis, Augustine Ada Orgah
Toward A Database Of Geometric Interrelationships Of Protein Secondary Structure Elements For De Novo Protein Design, Prediction And Analysis, Augustine Ada Orgah
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Computational methods of analyzing, simulating, and modeling proteins are essential towards understanding protein structure and its interactions. Computational methods are easier as not all protein structures can be determined experimentally due to the inherent difficultly of working with some proteins. In order to predict, design, analyze, simulate or model a protein, data from experimentally determined proteins such as those located in the repository of the Protein Data Bank (PDB) are essential. The assumption here is that we can use pieces of known proteins to piece together a "new" protein hence, de novo protein design. The analysis of the geometric relationships …
The Relationship Between Professional Identity And Collective Self- Esteem In School Counselors, Susan Foster
The Relationship Between Professional Identity And Collective Self- Esteem In School Counselors, Susan Foster
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
All bona fide professions have affiliated professional organizations, ethical standards or a code of ethics, and an accrediting and sanctioning body that deals with preparation, credentialing, and licensure, and pride in one's profession (Gale & Austin, 2003; Remley & Herlihy, 2010). As school counseling continues to evolve, school counselors have struggled to define and maintain their role. This may be due, in part, to the social desirability an individual has to belong to dominant group in the school setting (Tajfel, 1986). School counselors may draw esteem from their professional membership. This concept, called collective self-esteem, denotes those aspects of identity …
