Marriage Politics In Measure For Measure, Brinn Bullough
Marriage Politics In Measure For Measure, Brinn Bullough
Student Works
During the Renaissance, violence and immorality had grown unchecked in England, and as a new Puritan government came into power, leaders determined to rein it in through drastic social and legal reform. But when certain behaviors that are morally acceptable in public opinion and practice come in conflict with the regulations and ideologies of new leadership, could justice actually be more effective when tempered with forgiveness and opportunities for restitution, rather than strict enforcement? These challenges were especially involved in perceptions of what was acceptable and legal in shifting marriage practices during Shakespeare's time. In addition, more widespread access to …

To assess the potential impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on offshore ecosystems, 11 sites hosting deep-water coral communities were examined 3 to 4 mo after the well was capped. Healthy coral communities were observed at all sites >20 km from the Macondo well, including seven sites previously visited in September 2009, where the corals and communities appeared unchanged. However, at one site 11 km southwest of the Macondo well, coral colonies presented widespread signs of stress, including varying degrees of tissue loss, sclerite enlargement, excessmucous production, bleached commensal ophiuroids, and covering by brown flocculent material (floc). On the …

The permanent ice cover of Lake Vida (Antarctica) encapsulates an extreme cryogenic brine ecosystem (-13 °C; salinity, 200). This aphotic ecosystem is anoxic and consists of a slightly acidic (pH 6.2) sodium chloride-dominated brine. Expeditions in 2005 and 2010 were conducted to investigate the biogeochemistry of Lake Vida's brine system. A phylogenetically diverse and metabolically active Bacteria dominated microbial assemblage was observed in the brine. These bacteria live under very high levels of reduced metals, ammonia, molecular hydrogen (H2), and dissolved organic carbon, as well as high concentrations of oxidized species of nitrogen (i.e., supersaturated nitrous oxide and ∼1 mmol·L-1 …

Characterization Of The Red Bluff Landslide, Greater Cascade Landslide Complex, Columbia River Gorge, Washington, James Robert Randall
Dissertations and Theses
Located in the Columbia River Gorge, The Red Bluff Landslide (18.8 km2) is one of four large landslides that make up the Cascade Landslide Complex. In its current form, the Red Bluff Landslide is a post-Missoula Flood feature made up of two components: an active upper lobe (8.6 km2) that is translational, creeping to the south at 25 cm/yr and spreading laterally to the east at 6 cm/yr over a semi-fixed portion (10.2 km2) of the Red Bluff Landslide area that has been "smoothed" by Missoula Floods. The upper active lobe is the landslide debris accumulated since Missoula Flood time …

Concerning The Ending Of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost, Sarah Landeen
Concerning The Ending Of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost, Sarah Landeen
Student Works
Unlike Shakespeare's other comedies, Love's Labour's Lost ends unresolved. A marriage does not unite the characters in happiness; rather, the characters separate with little expectation of reuniting; like Beron says, "Jack hath not Jill" (5.2.866-67). Many scholars have mapped out the history of the play and studied the play textually and contextually, but their findings do not relate directly to the ending of the play. Exploring the context in which Shakespeare wrote the play reveals reasons for why he caused his only original play to end unresolved. (A) Historically, Shakespeare wrote the play during a season of plague, causing many …
Tremulous Jaw Movements Induced By The Vmat2 Inhibitor Tetrabenazine, Samantha J. Podurgiel
Tremulous Jaw Movements Induced By The Vmat2 Inhibitor Tetrabenazine, Samantha J. Podurgiel
Master's Theses
Parkinsonism is a movement disorder characterized by several cardinal motor symptoms: resting tremor, akinesia, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability. Parkinsonian resting tremor can be modeled in rodents using the tremulous jaw movement model. Tremulous jaw movements (TJMs) are defined as “rapid vertical deflections of the lower jaw that resemble chewing but are not directed at any particular stimulus.” TJMs occur in a frequency range of 3-7 Hz and are induced by a number of pharmacological manipulations that parallel those seen in human Parkinsonism including dopamine (DA) depleting agents, DA antagonists, and cholinomimetic administration. Additionally, TJMs can be attenuated using antiparkinsonian …

An Evaluation Of Electronic Annotated Readers For First Graders In Chinese Dual Immersion To Improve Reading Comprehension And Character Recognition, James H. Cloe Jr.
Theses and Dissertations
This study is an evaluation of online annotated readers developed for first grade students enrolled in Chinese immersion. The electronic readers were created to provide additional input to immersion students, who had little time in class for Chinese character reinforcement. The students accessed online readers from their homes and took assessments before and after each reader to test for improved character comprehension. In addition, students were divided into treatment and control groups. The treatment group had annotated electronic readers with audio and games. Conversely, the control group did not have annotations but audio was included. Results demonstrate a significant difference …

Towards On-Line Voltage Stability Assessment Using Synchrophasors, Himanshu S. Hirlekar, Badrul H. Chowdhury
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Advances in technology has made possible the online monitoring and assessment of voltage stability. Synchrophasors measure voltage and current phasors with accurate time stamping with respect to Global Positioning System (GPS) clock reference. a novel voltage stability prediction algorithm using synchrophasors is proposed. Synchrophasor data is used to perform a fast state estimation of the system. This is a departure from conventional SCADA-Based state estimation. the traditional method of VQ analysis for voltage stability is put to use in this algorithm to estimate the voltage stability margin. Since the data refresh rate is faster with synchrophasor data than SCADA-Based data, …

Currently, there are only a handful of methods used to calculate prices for the energy generated from photovoltaic and other renewable resources. Some of these are net metering, feed-in-tariffs, etc. However, none of the methods in use today are widely used. This paper will discuss a new methodology to calculate energy prices in the sense of locational marginal prices for future smart distribution systems with renewable energy resources as the primary energy supply. the scheme calculates the marginal energy price for renewable generations and storage, as well as the marginal congestion and loss prices in order to determine optimal economic …

The Effect Of The Semantic Depth Of Spanish Verbs On Processing Demands Of Filler-Gap Relationships In Noun Clauses, Ashlee Marie Jessen
The Effect Of The Semantic Depth Of Spanish Verbs On Processing Demands Of Filler-Gap Relationships In Noun Clauses, Ashlee Marie Jessen
Theses and Dissertations
This study explored the relationship between syntax and semantics in an effort to provide evidence against a strict theory of the Autonomy of Syntax. The evidence was provided by an acceptability survey given to 20 native, adult Mexicans who ranked both declarative and wh-questions which manifested a filler-gap relationship where the gap was located in an embedded noun clause. The main verbs were controlled for semantic depth by being ranked within verbal categories according to external evidence of markedness or semantic depth. The primary hypothesis was that semantically deeper verbs would add to the already increased strain on working memory …
"The River Duddon" And William Wordsworth's Evolving Poetics Of Collection, Shannon Melee Stimpson
"The River Duddon" And William Wordsworth's Evolving Poetics Of Collection, Shannon Melee Stimpson
Theses and Dissertations
Despite its impact in generating a more positive reception toward Wordsworth's work among his contemporaries, The River Duddon volume has received comparatively little critical attention in recent scholarship. On some level, this is unsurprising given the relative unpopularity of Wordsworth's later work among modern readers, but I believe that the relative shortage of critical scholarship on The River Duddon is due, at least in part, to a symptomatic failure to read the volume in its entirety. This essay takes up the challenge of following Wordsworth's directive to read The River Duddon volume as a unified whole. While I cannot account …

Linguistics Improvements And Correlates In A Japanese Study Abroad Program, Geoffrey Scott Biesinger
Theses and Dissertations
Study abroad (SA) is typically thought to provide an excellent opportunity for second language acquisition, particularly through exposure to and application of the target language within the target culture. However, actual language gains vary greatly among SA participants and some may gain very little (Freed, 1995a). The purpose of the current study is to determine some specific linguistic gains made by 28 second language learners of Japanese studying for two semesters in Japan, and to determine possible correlates with these gains. Specifically, it addresses whether or not these SA students improve their grammatical proficiency, lexical proficiency, narrative ability, fluency, and …
