The Songs Of Science : Rilke, Orpheus, And The Poetic Transformation Of The Natural Scientist, Evan Michael Gromel
The Songs Of Science : Rilke, Orpheus, And The Poetic Transformation Of The Natural Scientist, Evan Michael Gromel
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This thesis will attempt to illustrate a connection between both the creative and trying experiences of certain natural scientists surrounding their discoveries and Rilke's vision of poetry. It will explore the implications of Rilke's figure of Orpheus, which has been characterized in part as a symbol for art's "search in which something essential is at stake" (Blanchot 215), on the poetic potential of those whose perception is grounded in the psychology of modern scientific discovery and theory; In other words, how a scientist comes to make the turn which takes them from "the work" to "the work of art".

Developmental Adaptation Hypothesis : Aerobic Capacity, Submaximal Arterial Saturation And Pulmonary Volumes In Peruvian Quechua Natives, Melisa Kiyamu Tsuchiya
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The Quechua populations have inhabited the Andes for hundreds of generations. The ability to thrive in this hostile environment, leading an active and healthy life has generated research questions about the special phenotype of Andean highlanders compared to their sea-level counterparts, such as their higher pulmonary volumes and their outstanding work capacity in spite of the challenge of oxygen transport and delivery in hypoxia. In high altitude natives, there have been two main explanations for the origins of the aforementioned traits: genetic adaptation through natural selection and developmental adaptation through the exposure to hypoxia during growth.

Hedge Detection Using A Rewards And Penalties Approach, Ken Stahl
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Semantic and syntactic features found in text can be used in combination to statistically predict linguistic devices such as hedges in online chat. Some features are better indicators than others, and there are cases when multiple features need to be considered together to be useful. Once the features are identified, it becomes an optimization problem to find the best division of data.

Mediational Effects Of Desktop-Videoconferencing Telecollaborative Exchanges On The Intercultural Communicative Competence Of Students Of French As A Foreign Language, Veronique Marie Martin
Mediational Effects Of Desktop-Videoconferencing Telecollaborative Exchanges On The Intercultural Communicative Competence Of Students Of French As A Foreign Language, Veronique Marie Martin
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Since the early 2000s, foreign language practitioners and researchers have shown an increasing interest in exploring the affordances of multimodal telecollaborative environments for the linguistic and intercultural development of their students. Due in part to their inherent complexity, one-on-one desktop-videoconferencing contexts have not been widely explored. To this end, this study investigates if and how American students of French engaged in a telecollaborative exchange with a class of French students are able to develop their Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) through online interaction and the completion of a collaborative task. Adopting a case study approach, the video-recorded sessions of three dyads …
Stars Of The East And West : The Anglo-American Invention Of The Circassian Girl, Alexandra E. Mcdowall
Stars Of The East And West : The Anglo-American Invention Of The Circassian Girl, Alexandra E. Mcdowall
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The choices a society makes regarding their entertainment speak to their deeper desires, fears, and values. A uniquely nineteenth century freak show attraction known as "Circassian Girls" represented a tension in the changing world. More than an entertaining spectacle of a person from a far-flung corner of the world, Circassian Girls became constructed symbols of race, nationalism, class, and gender. Through their manufactured perfection, these performers became a caricature of white, middle-class womanhood. This paper compares the freak show performers with other descriptions of Circassian Girls through the nineteenth century, placing them into the context of perceptions of the East, …
The Acquisition Of Sociolinguistic Variation By Study Abroad Students : The Case Of American Students In Madrid, Kathryn Lee Ringer-Hilfinger
The Acquisition Of Sociolinguistic Variation By Study Abroad Students : The Case Of American Students In Madrid, Kathryn Lee Ringer-Hilfinger
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The current investigation seeks to contribute to the emerging body of research on second language variation in Spanish. A range of dialect-specific variables is considered, both morphological and phonological. Learner acquisition of these variables is measured within a study abroad context through oral and written longitudinal data over the course of an 8-month period. Previous studies conducted in this area have considered pronoun use (Geeslin and Gudmestad 2008a; Salgado-Robles 2012) the use of /theta/ (Geeslin and Gudmestad 2008b; Willis et. al. 2009; Ringer-Hilfinger 2012; Knouse 2012), intonation strategies (Henriksen et al. 2010), and perfective past time reference (Geeslin et al. …

Pragmatism And Democratic Embodiment : The Poetics Of Constructive Conflict In Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, Mina Loy, And Laura (Riding) Jackson, Aidan Patricia Thompson
Pragmatism And Democratic Embodiment : The Poetics Of Constructive Conflict In Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, Mina Loy, And Laura (Riding) Jackson, Aidan Patricia Thompson
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
My dissertation, "Pragmatism and Democratic Embodiment: The Poetics of Constructive Conflict in Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, Mina Loy, and Laura (Riding) Jackson," establishes a methodology based on William James's notion of the subject (1890) as fluid to interrogate how these poets, working roughly between 1860 and 1970, complicated questions of writing in order to critique systems of gender. I reconsider a presumed relation between language and feminism in Modernist Studies that understands the aesthetic practice of unsettling linguistic norms to be counter to feminist concerns relating to the body. Through this reassessment, I argue that the poets anticipated problems associated …
The Multiplied Body : Romanticism's Imaginary Subject, Dana M. Balejko
The Multiplied Body : Romanticism's Imaginary Subject, Dana M. Balejko
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
“The Multiplied Body: Romanticism's Imaginary Subject” develops a new understanding of the Romantic subject as one that fundamentally disrupts the formation of the poetic “I” in its demonstration that through the “awful power” of the imagination the Romantic body is always, already multiplied. The texts analyzed (both Romantic and contemporary) recognize the “constitutive” social and historical fallacies surrounding definitions of the “natural” human. This project's development of an imagined multiple body denotes a refutation of humanistic theories about embodied existence. Ultimately, through an analysis of poetry by Wordsworth, Keats, and Shelley (among others), “The Multiplied Body” reveals alternative ontological strategies …

Use Of Subordination In English Second Language Texts, Susan L. Nesbitt Perez
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This study investigates features of high-level academic writing in English with the aim of understanding the development of L2 English learners' academic writing skills as they follow a course of study in an English-speaking country. The study focuses on L2 writers' text quality and use of clause subordinators as a measure of writing complexity. The typology of the writers' L1s provides the organizational framework for the study, with three language typology groupings determined by a writer's L1 word order tendency: (1) configurational languages, (2) nonconfigurational languages, and (3) Asian languages.

Control In Networked Systems With Fuzzy Logic, Akhan Akbulut, Oğuzhan Öztaş
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Recently, the development of control systems based on network-based architecture is getting very high attention. Because of its fast data communication, network-based control is in high demand. However, there are some disadvantages, such as delays, data packet dropouts, and communication constraints. Network-based control systems are getting attention in the development of this architecture because of these disadvantages. Optimization of the system is supplied to improve the existing structure. The optimization is categorized into 2 main structures: software optimization and hardware optimization. The structure of the overall system is designed with these optimization strategies. A hierarchical and communicational structure has emerged …

Scholar-Librarian Collaboration In The Publication Of Scholarly Materials, Craig Harkema, Brent Nelson
Collaborative Librarianship
Recent developments in scholarly publication and the new directions being pursued in both humanities departments and libraries in the production of digital content provide opportunity for scholars and libraries to explore new models for working together to produce and disseminate scholarly materials. We offer as a first step toward a model for publication the case of Opuscula: Short Texts of the Middle Ages and Renaissance (OSTMAR), a hybrid form of publication that leverages the university library infrastructure to create a platform for the publication of scholarly primary materials, an area of publication formerly reserved for the commercial press. This model …

The Multi-state Learning Collaborative (MLC) brought health departments in 16 states together with public health system partners to prepare for national voluntary accreditation and to implement quality-improvement (QI) practices. Data from each of the MLC participating states were collected through a comprehensive process over three years. An Excel database of several hundred pages was derived, categorized by individual target area, and organized into thematic domains for further study. Available data were culled and compiled for each MLC project and synthesized across MLC target areas. Two-hundred thirty-four health departments participated in 162 mini-collaboratives in nine of ten target areas. Public health …
Direct Adaptive Fuzzy Sliding Mode Decoupling Control For A Class Of Underactuated Mechanical Systems, Fares Nafa, Salim Labiod, Hachemi Chekireb
Direct Adaptive Fuzzy Sliding Mode Decoupling Control For A Class Of Underactuated Mechanical Systems, Fares Nafa, Salim Labiod, Hachemi Chekireb
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Motivated by the dynamic characteristics of underactuated mechanical systems with 2 degrees of freedom, a decoupling adaptive fuzzy sliding mode decoupling controller (DAFSMDC) is presented in this paper. By exploiting the universal approximation property of fuzzy logic systems and the sliding mode control method, this paper proposes a new decoupling strategy of the system into 2 second-order subsystems and introduces an adaptive control algorithm that guarantees the convergence of both subsystems. Since fuzzy systems are used to approximate an unknown ideal controller, the adjustable parameters of the used fuzzy systems are updated using a gradient descent algorithm that is designed …

Anfis-Based Estimation Of Pv Module Equivalent Parameters: Application To A Stand-Alone Pv System With Mppt Controller, Ahmet Afşi̇n Kulaksiz
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The performance and system cost of photovoltaic (PV) systems can be improved by employing high-efficiency power conditioners with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods. Fast implementation and accurate operation of MPPT controllers can be realized by modeling the characteristics of PV modules, obtaining equivalent parameters. In this study, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFISs) have been used to obtain 3 of the parameters in a single-diode model of PV cells, namely series resistance, shunt resistance, and diode ideality factor. The input parameters of ANFISs are a material-type of PV modules, short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and unit area under the …
Adaptive Control Of A Time-Varying Rotary Servo System Using A Fuzzy Model Reference Learning Controller With Variable Adaptation Gain, Ömer Aydoğdu, Özdemi̇r Alkan
Adaptive Control Of A Time-Varying Rotary Servo System Using A Fuzzy Model Reference Learning Controller With Variable Adaptation Gain, Ömer Aydoğdu, Özdemi̇r Alkan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The constant parameters in a conventional fuzzy controller lead to a poor performance for time-varying systems. In this study, a fuzzy model reference learning controller (FMRLC) with a newly defined variable adaptation gain is designed and implemented in the adaptive fuzzy control of a time-varying rotary servo (TVRS) system. In the design of the FMRLC, a knowledge-base modification algorithm with variable adaptation gain is used instead of a fuzzy relation table. Hence, it is provided that the learning and adaptation mechanism continuously updates the knowledge base of the adaptive fuzzy controller against any parameter variations, such as changing loads. By …

A Video-Based Eye Pupil Detection System For Diagnosing Bipolar Disorder, Gökay Akinci, Edi̇z Polat, Orhan Murat Koçak
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Eye pupil detection systems have become increasingly popular in image processing and computer vision applications in medical systems. In this study, a video-based eye pupil detection system is developed for diagnosing bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a condition in which people experience changes in cognitive processes and abilities, including reduced attentional and executive capabilities and impaired memory. In order to detect these abnormal behaviors, a number of neuropsychological tests are also designed to measure attentional and executive abilities. The system acquires the position and radius information of eye pupils in video sequences using an active contour snake model with an …

A New Digital Image Steganography Algorithm Based On Visible Wavelength, İbrahi̇m Coşkun, Feyzi̇ Akar, Özdemi̇r Çeti̇n
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Stenography is the science that ensures secret communication through multimedia carriers such as image, audio, and video files. The ultimate end of stenography is to hide the secret data in the carrier file so that they are not detected. To that end, stenography applications should have such features as undetectability; robustness; resistance to various images process, sing methods, and compression; and capacity of the hidden data. At the same time, those features distinguish stenography applications from watermarking and cryptography applications. This study is different from other studies in the literature in that the undetectability parameter has been achieved through hiding …

María Rosa Lida Y El Control De La Posteridad: O De Cómo Rafael Lapesa Reseñó La Originalidad Artistica De "La Celestina", Aurora Hermida-Ruiz
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
La intención de este trabajo es responder a esta simple pregunta: ¿por qué fue Rafael Lapesa el primero en leer y reseñar la obra póstuma de María Rosa Lida? Para responder a esta pregunta, debo aclarar, en primer lugar, que Lapesa, en una vida casi centenaria, escribió muy pocas reseñas, la mayoría muy breves, y ninguna jamás del tipa que Yakov Malkiel llamaba "demolition jobs" y que María Rosa Lida, en cambio, convirtió en sello propio (Malkiel, "María Rosa Lida" 27-28: Gómez Bravo 726).1 Es por eso que destaca que haya do autores repetidos en ests breve apartado de …
The King's Toilet: Cruising Literary History In Reinaldo Arenas' Before Night Falls, LáZaro Lima
The King's Toilet: Cruising Literary History In Reinaldo Arenas' Before Night Falls, LáZaro Lima
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
In this article I will read Before Night Falls as Arenas' queer version of Cuban literary history and his relation to it. Against the commonplace assertions that demand that Before Night Falls be primarily understood, if not exclusively, as an invective against Fidel Castro or, in the other extreme, as an ars moriendi and AIDS testimonial from a sexual dissident, I wish to revisit this text on the twentieth anniversary of its publication to underscore a missed reading that can help situate how Arenas, one of the most transgressive writers theorized in this collection as the Generation of '72, might …
