Transnational Punk: The Growing Push For Global Change Through A Music-Based Subculture, Alexander Lalama Nov 2013

Transnational Punk: The Growing Push For Global Change Through A Music-Based Subculture, Alexander Lalama

LUX: A Journal of Transdisciplinary Writing and Research from Claremont Graduate University

Little media attention has been devoted to the burgeoning punk scene that has raised alarm abroad in areas such as Banda Aceh, Indonesia and Moscow, Russia. While the punk subculture has been analyzed in-depth by such notable theorists as Dick Hebdige and Stuart Hall, their work has been limited to examining the rise and apparent decline of the subculture in England, rendering any further investigations into punk as looking back at a nostalgic novelty of post-World War II British milieu. Furthermore, the commodification of punk music and style has relegated punk to the realm of an alternative culture in Britain …


Off Sunset Boulevard: Students, Homelessness And Disability In Los Angeles- Idea, Mckinney Vento And The Void In Between, Remy Krumpak Nov 2013

Off Sunset Boulevard: Students, Homelessness And Disability In Los Angeles- Idea, Mckinney Vento And The Void In Between, Remy Krumpak

LUX: A Journal of Transdisciplinary Writing and Research from Claremont Graduate University

Homeless youth with a disability must overcome many barriers to receive the meaningful, individualized education they are legally entitled to. Over the last two decades, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the McKinney-Vento Act have begun to acknowledge the challenges that exist for this population. These laws require school districts to identify homeless youth with a disability, allow them immediate enrollment and access to special education services, and free transportation to school. This article examines the Los Angeles Unified School District as a case study for policy implementation. In analyzing the success of the policies as implemented, this article …


An Awareness Of What Is Missing: Four Views On The Consequences Of Secularism, Rachel E. Hunt Steenblik, Heidi Zameni, Debbie Ostorga, Nathan Greeley Nov 2013

An Awareness Of What Is Missing: Four Views On The Consequences Of Secularism, Rachel E. Hunt Steenblik, Heidi Zameni, Debbie Ostorga, Nathan Greeley

LUX: A Journal of Transdisciplinary Writing and Research from Claremont Graduate University

While the issues regarding widespread secularization in contemporary Western culture are difficult to properly assess, it can be argued that certain prerequisites are necessary for the well-being of any society and, furthermore, that certain of these necessary conditions are only provided by a given civilization's major religious tradition. All societies need to perpetually engage in collective action and decision making, and as any given community faces the challenges of the future, its governing religious worldview is an indispensable source of guidance and time-honored wisdom. With this in mind, it will be argued that Western civilization is dependent upon a Judeo-Christian …


Degeneration, Gender, And American Identity In The Early Fiction Of Edgar Rice Burroughs, James Biggs Nov 2013

Degeneration, Gender, And American Identity In The Early Fiction Of Edgar Rice Burroughs, James Biggs

LUX: A Journal of Transdisciplinary Writing and Research from Claremont Graduate University

Edgar Rice Burroughs rendered a particular construction of womanhood as a remedy for national degeneration and neurasthenia. Progressive-era Americans like Burroughs wondered whether the developmental forces that shaped industrial society might also threaten the character and institutions upon which they believed American society and civilization functioned. Middle-class American observers worried that the character traits responsible for the rise of American greatness were undermined by that very success. In particular, they thought the demands of urban life resulted in neurasthenia, the loss of “nervous energy.” Burroughs employed the powerfully symbolic Pocahontas narrative to construct a vision of womanhood that offered the …

An Investigation Into The Mechanisms Of Formation Of The Hard Zone In Fsw X65, Jacob D. Allred Nov 2013

An Investigation Into The Mechanisms Of Formation Of The Hard Zone In Fsw X65, Jacob D. Allred

Theses and Dissertations

Friction stir welding (FSW) of HSLA steel commonly produces a hard zone (HZ) on the advancing side (AS) of the weld. Despite its detrimental effects on weld toughness, the mechanisms of its formation have not been thoroughly investigated and are not well understood. This paper investigates the various mechanisms in FSW believed to affect the weld HZ, namely: strain, strain-rate, peak temperature and cooling rate. Gleeble tests indicate that strain and strain rate have negligible effects on weld HZ with cooling rate and peak temperature as dominant effects. Jominy tests resulted in cooling rate having 270% greater influence than peak …

Her Last Seed, Brittany Edwards Nov 2013

Her Last Seed, Brittany Edwards

Honors Projects

This project is a children's story about anti-bullying aimed at an audience of fourth or fifth grade students. The intent of the project is to present students with a relatable account of the negative and destructive effects bullying can have on those involved. Ideally, the book would be read and thought through as a class, and then expanded upon as part of a larger unit on bullying/anti-bullying. It is for this reason that I also included discussion questions and extension activities at the end of the text to facilitate post-reading discussions.

Investigation Of Water Droplet Dynamics In Pem Cell Gas Channels, Preethi Gopalan Nov 2013

Investigation Of Water Droplet Dynamics In Pem Cell Gas Channels, Preethi Gopalan

Theses

Water management in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) has remained one of the most important issues that need to be addressed before its commercialization in automotive applications. Accumulation of water on the gas diffusion layer (GDL) surface in a PEMFC introduces a barrier for transport of reactant gases through the GDL to the catalyst layer. Despite the fact that the channel geometry is one of the key design parameters of a fluidic system, very limited research is available to study the effect of microchannel geometry on the two-phase flow structure. In this study, the droplet-wall dynamics and two-phase pressure …

Evaluation And Selection Of Barley Genotypes For Salt Stress Resistance Using Tissue Culture Techniques And Sds-Page Gel Electrophoresis, Emr Metwali, Smh Gowayed, Oa Almagrabi, Yy Mosleh, Mp Fuller

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Genetic analysis was studied in a 5 × 5 diallel cross following Hayman's diallel analysis approach to obtain additive and dominance components of genetic variance using a mature embryo culture protocol. Different concentrations of NaCl at 5 and 10 g L-1 were added to each medium. Callus fresh weight (g), shoot length (cm), root length (cm), proline (μg g-1), sodium (mg g-1 and potassium (mg g-1) content were determined. Also, screening for non-water-soluble protein polymorphism was carried out using leaves derived via callus culture and analysis using SDS-PAGE. Results on the genetic behaviour for previously traits, indicating the differences among …
