Method For Substitute Modulus Determination Of Furniture Frame Construction Joints, Hasan Özgür İmi̇rzi̇, Jerzy Smardzewski, Ni̇hat Döngel

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The goal of the performed experiments was to determine the strength, stiffness, and modulus of the elasticity of dowel, mortise and loose-tenon, and mortise and tenon L-type furniture joints under diagonal tension and compression loads. The specimens were constructed from Turkish beech (Fagus orientalis L.), white oak (Quercus alba), and white walnut (Juglans cinerea L.) and were assembled with a water-resistant PVAC adhesive. According to the obtained results, the highest stiffness/strength values were estimated in mortise and tenon joints constructed of white oak, whereas dowel joints constructed from Turkish beech showed the lowest stiffness/strength and deformability. The elasticity modulus of …

The Characteristic Polynomial Of The Adams Operators On Graded Connected Hopf Algebras, Marcelo Aguiar, Aaron Lauve

Mathematics and Statistics: Faculty Publications and Other Works

The Adams operators ‰n on a Hopf algebra H are the convolution powers of the identity of H. They are also called Hopf powers or Sweedler powers. We study the Adams operators when H is graded connected. The main result is a complete description of the characteristic polynomial — both eigenvalues and their multiplicities — for the action of the operator ‰n on each homogeneous component of H. The eigenvalues are powers of n. The multiplicities are independent of n, and in fact only depend on the dimension sequence of H. These results apply in particular to the antipode of …

Royal Bastards And Mistresses: The Shadow Courts Of Restoration England, John Bays

Student Honors Theses

Charles II returned to England in 1660 accompanied by a “natural son” from a mistress. And within a decade he had new mistresses and more natural or illegitimate children. This thesis attempts to look at the political and cultural roles of these royal mistresses and bastards at the Restoration court of Charles II. It also examines how Charles II used the mistresses and bastards and how some of them used the royal court to their own advantage. Rather than focusing on the personalities of this mistress or that son, however, this thesis focuses on their roles and functions in a …

University Student Beliefs About Sexual Violence In Prison: Rape Myth Acceptance, Punitiveness, And Empathy, Laura L. King, Kathleen J. Hanrahan

Criminal Justice Faculty Publications and Presentations

Although prison rape has been recognised for years, it began to receive increased attention in the USA following the passage of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). In addition to prevalence and victimisation estimates, several researchers have examined the attitudes of correctional personnel towards prison rape. However, few have surveyed the opinions of those not currently working in the criminal justice system. Drawing from the body of research on rape myths, our goal was to examine prison rape myth acceptance among a university student sample to describe these beliefs, as well as examine attitudinal correlates. The findings indicated that prison …

Laki Verbal Morphosyntax, Sedigheh Moradi

Theses and Dissertations--Linguistics

Most western Iranian languages, despite their broad differences, show a common quality when it comes to the verbal agreement of past transitive verbs. Dabir-moghaddam (2013) and Haig (2008) discuss it as a grammaticalized split-agreement to encode S, A, and P, which is sensitive to tense and transitivity, and uses split-ergative constructions for its past transitive verbs. Laki shows vestiges of the same kind of verb-agreement ergativity (Comrie 1978) by using a mixture of affixes and clitics for subject and object marking.

In this thesis, I investigate how the different classes of verbs show agreement using four distinct property classes. Considering …

The Arabic Particles ‘Inna Wa AḫawāTu-Hā’ At The Syntax-Semantics Interface, Anfal Mudhafar Ali

Theses and Dissertations--Linguistics

In Arabic inna wa-aḫawātu-hā ‘inna and its related sisters’ are traditionally considered as verb-like particles. They are specified as introducing equational sentences and change their constituents’ case to a different pattern from what verbs do. Therefore, they are called nawāsiḫ in Arabic, or words that cause a shift to the accusative case (Ryding 2005).

The medieval grammarians’ treatment of inna and its sisters as verb-like particles and of the equational sentence in general is based on the theory of ‘amal, ‘government’ which Sībawayhi has described it in his book Al-kitab. The theory presumes a grammatical operation …

Reassessment Of Risk Genotypes (Grn, Tmem106b, And Abcc9 Variants) Associated With Hippocampal Sclerosis Of Aging Pathology, Peter T. Nelson, Wang-Xia Wang, Amanda B. Partch, Sarah E. Monsell, Otto Valladares, Sally R. Ellingson, Bernard R. Wilfred, Adam C. Naj, Li-San Wang, Walter A. Kukull, David W. Fardo

Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Faculty Publications

Hippocampal sclerosis of aging (HS-Aging) is a common high-morbidity neurodegenerative condition in elderly persons. To understand the risk factors for HS-Aging, we analyzed data from the Alzheimer’s Disease Genetics Consortium and correlated the data with clinical and pathologic information from the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center database. Overall, 268 research volunteers with HS-Aging and 2,957 controls were included; detailed neuropathologic data were available for all. The study focused on single-nucleotide polymorphisms previously associated with HS-Aging risk: rs5848 ( GRN ), rs1990622 ( TMEM106B ), and rs704180 ( ABCC9 ). Analyses of a subsample that was not previously evaluated (51 HS-Aging cases …

Disparities In Temporal And Geographic Patterns Of Declining Heart Disease Mortality By Race And Sex In The United States, Adam S. Vaughan, Harrison Quick, Elizabeth B. Pathak, Michael R. Kramer, Michele Casper

Epidemiology and Biostatistics Faculty Publications

Background: Examining small‐area differences in the strength of declining heart disease mortality by race and sex provides important context for current racial and geographic disparities and identifies localities that could benefit from targeted interventions. We identified and described temporal trends in declining county‐level heart disease mortality by race, sex, and geography between 1973 and 2010.

Methods and Results: Using a Bayesian hierarchical model, we estimated age‐adjusted mortality with diseases of the heart listed as the underlying cause for 3099 counties. County‐level percentage declines were calculated by race and sex for 3 time periods (1973–1985, 1986–1997, 1998–2010). Strong declines were statistically …

On A Quest For The Jewel: A Review Of The Fine Arts Department's Edition Of Phra Horathibodi's Chindamani, Peera Panarut

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

This article offers a review of the Fine Arts Department's edition of Phra Horathibodi's Chindamani, edited by Thanit Yupho in 1942. The textual problems of the Chindamani and the editorial problems of the edition are reviewed using a text critical approach, and the conclusions presented are based on evidence found mainly in 109 manuscripts kept at the National Library of Thailand. Regarding the textual problems found in the Chindamani itself, there are a number of significant discrepancies between the manuscripts in terms of their content collection and their content order. Though Yupho has classified the manuscripts into 4 recensions, these …

Encoding Accuracy In Thai Court Judgments, Sorabud Rungrojsuwan

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

Accuracy is an issue that points to the reliability of language used in legal circles. The objective of the present study is to investigate linguistic devices denoting accuracy in Thai legal discourse. Data was gathered from judgments in three Thai courts: the Supreme Court, the Supreme Administrative Court and the Constitutional Court. Findings from Thai legal language were also compared to those from three registers: academic, media and political. The results show that Thai legal language employs two major linguistic devices in order to express accuracy: mention of the sources of evidence and legal citations. The use of the two …

Views Of Coaching Practice Expressed By School-Based Coaches, D. A. Yopp, E. A. Burroughs, A. Barlow, J. T. Sutton

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

This study reports on the views of coaching expressed by school-based coaches and coaching experts in response to observing the practice of a novice coach featured in a video. Researchers hypothesized that a coach participant's observations about another coach's practice would be a useful tool for examining participants' beliefs about coaching. Researchers compared responses from school-based coaches to the responses of coaching experts and views expressed in leading coaching literature in order to examine the variation in school-based coaches' views. Analysis of responses from both practicing coaches and coaching experts revealed eight themes that describe components of the videotaped coaching …

Defending State Exemptions In Bankruptcy, Tristan G. Axelrod

Loyola Consumer Law Review

Throughout the past century’s cyclical battles for bankruptcy reform, legislators and scholars have debated the need for federal control over bankruptcy estate exemptions. Millionaire criminals and Wall Street hucksters shielding assets from creditors provide perennial fuel for the argument that bankruptcy exemptions inspire systemic abuse. Few legislators, scholars, or pundits, however, have investigated the actual economic and social policy wisdom in state-specific exemptions as they affect the lives of millions of Americans. This Article examines the origins and policy implications of state-specific exemption laws and argues in favor of limited federal deference to state law.

"If They Hand You A Paper, You Sign It": A Call To End The Sterilization Of Women In Prison, Rachel Roth, Sara L. Ainsworth

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

A 2013 investigative report on California prisons exposed the recent use of coercive tactics to induce women in prison in that state to undergo sterilization surgeries to permanently end their fertility. This is particularly striking given California's infamous history as the state that forcibly sterilized the largest number of people during the eugenics era. But California is not the only state that permits, condones, and may use public money to sterilize women in prison. This article begins with a consideration of the history of eugenic sterilization, and its troubling revival against the very women-women of color and poor women- who …

Infants In Orange: An International Model-Based Approach Prison Nurseries, Jennifer Warner

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

Prison nurseries are used throughout the world as a way to strengthen the initial mother-child bond and ensure that mothers are given a chance to raise their children, even if it's behind bars. Ms. Warner outlines the differences between prison nurseries in countries like Germany, Colombia, and Kenya, and reveals that the United States is vastly different from the rest. While most countries offer prison nurseries, only nine states within the United States utilize a prison nursery, which means the majority of United States jails and prisons routinely separate newborns from their incarcerated mothers. Ms. Warner urges her readers and …
