The (Un)Welcome Stranger: Intercultural Sensitivity In Six American Novels, Jeff Morgan
The (Un)Welcome Stranger: Intercultural Sensitivity In Six American Novels, Jeff Morgan
Faculty and Staff Publications & Presentations
My research explores the level of inclusivity in fictional communities in six classic American novels: Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s’ The Scarlet Letter, Sarah Orne Jewett’s The Country of the Pointed Firs, Henry James’ The American, Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, and Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls. It also measures the intercultural sensitivity in fictional characters in these communities, focusing on characters who are deemed different in these communities as well as those who represent the status quo in those communities. The cultural interactions, the conflicts that occur in these novels, serve as models when viewed under the lens …
Mapping Per- And Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (Pfas) In South Carolina Surface Waters: Are There Hotspots?, Thomas C. Geiger
Mapping Per- And Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (Pfas) In South Carolina Surface Waters: Are There Hotspots?, Thomas C. Geiger
Senior Theses
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals used in consumer products for their unique chemical properties. PFAS compounds are resistant to water, oil, heat, and grease, making them useful for a wide variety of everyday items such as non-stick cooking pans, food packaging, electronics, carpets, upholstery, paints, adhesives, and personal care products.1 The resilient nature of PFAS has made these compounds immensely popular with consumers but has since been considered a potential environmental and public health hazard for their ability to bioaccumulate and for their stability in the environment. More than 6000 PFAS have been discovered in the …

Analytical And Numerical Behavior Of Double Composite Steel Bridges, Emad M. Hassan, Hussam Mahmoud
Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Steel plate girders are considered a viable solution for the construction of medium- to long-span bridges. Despite their many advantages, various concerns have been raised regarding their maintenance due to the potential of fatigue crack initiation at welded details, accelerated corrosion in thin webs, and trapped debris around stiffeners. The use of rolled beams, on the other hand, can be very beneficial because they require much less maintenance. However, they are limited in size, which imposes constraints on their use to relatively short-span bridges due to deflection requirements. In this study, the behavior of the double composite superstructure system was …
