I Have Not Always Been As Now, Bailey Knowles Apr 2019

I Have Not Always Been As Now, Bailey Knowles

Compositions

i have not always been as now is a four-movement piece for soprano voice, clarinet, violin, cello, piano, and glockenspiel. The libretto is a reworking of literature by Edgar Allen Poe. I read through his entire output of poetry, isolated lines that I enjoyed, stood out, or triggered a musical thought in my head, and rearranged them to create a new story. The story is purposefully vague, and its specific meanings and interpretations shall be deciphered by the listener. The story follows someone who is recalling memories of a love from the past. This love could be a person, a …

Cinematic Auteurism, And The New Wave Sensibilities Of Sofia Coppola's "Lost In Translation", Benjamin Brewster Apr 2019

Cinematic Auteurism, And The New Wave Sensibilities Of Sofia Coppola's "Lost In Translation", Benjamin Brewster

Cinesthesia

This paper seeks to illustrate the auteurism and the cinematic influences present in Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation, specifically through the lenses of the gender and historical modes of cultural film analysis. It argues that Sofia Coppola’s personal brand of auteurism permeates the film in a variety of distinct and important ways, and that much of the film’s success can be traced back to both her auteurism at work, and to the subtle but distinct nods made therein to the historical cinematic movement known as the French New Wave. It seeks to attack these ideas on two distinct but …

Detecting Zn(Ii) Ions In Live Cells With Near-Infrared Fluorescent Probes., Mingxi Fang, Shuai Xia, Jianheng Bi, Travis P Wigstrom, Loredana Valenzano, Jianbo Wang, Marina Tanasova, Rudy Luck, Haiying Liu Apr 2019

Detecting Zn(Ii) Ions In Live Cells With Near-Infrared Fluorescent Probes., Mingxi Fang, Shuai Xia, Jianheng Bi, Travis P Wigstrom, Loredana Valenzano, Jianbo Wang, Marina Tanasova, Rudy Luck, Haiying Liu

Michigan Tech Publications, Part 1

Two near-infrared fluorescent probes (A and B) containing hemicyanine structures appended to dipicolylamine (DPA), and a dipicolylamine derivative where one pyridine was substituted with pyrazine, respectively, were synthesized and tested for the identification of Zn(II) ions in live cells. In both probes, an acetyl group is attached to the phenolic oxygen atom of the hemicyanine platform to decrease the probe fluorescence background. Probe A displays sensitive fluorescence responses and binds preferentially to Zn(II) ions over other metal ions such as Cd2+ ions with a low detection limit of 0.45 nM. In contrast, the emission spectra of probe B is …

String Quartet No.1 In G Major, Wataru Niimori Apr 2019

String Quartet No.1 In G Major, Wataru Niimori

Glenn Korff School of Music: Dissertations, Theses, Student Creative Work, and Performances

String Quartet No.1 in G Major is an original composition comprised of four movements: 1st (Allegro Con Brio: a fast tempo with spirit), 2nd (Adagio: a slow tempo), 3rd (Minuet and Trio: a moderate tempo with triple meter) and 4th (Presto: very fast). This four-movement form, in other words, the sonata cycle, was developed during 17th and 18th centuries in Western Europe for instrumental music. It reached its heyday in the middle of the 18th century through the next whole century. Composers in the Classical …

Translocation Of Boreal Toad (Anaxyrus Boreas Boreas) Into Two Springs In The Grouse Creek Mountains, Utah, Including Demographic Observations, Paul D. Thompson Apr 2019

Translocation Of Boreal Toad (Anaxyrus Boreas Boreas) Into Two Springs In The Grouse Creek Mountains, Utah, Including Demographic Observations, Paul D. Thompson

Western North American Naturalist

The Boreal Toad (Anaxyrus boreas boreas) is widely distributed in western North America and has declined throughout portions of the Rocky Mountains. One mechanism to expand populations is to translocate toads into unoccupied habitats. Wild-captured juvenile (n = 229) and subadult/adult (n = 42) Boreal Toads were translocated into 2 unoccupied spring-fed ponds located near 10 known breeding populations in the Grouse Creek Mountains, northwestern Utah. Boreal Toad egg strands were observed at one pond in 8 of 9 years following the last translocation of toads (n = 1–5 egg strands deposited per year) and …

Population Sizes, Rhinocyllus Conicus Use, And Patterns Of Genetic Variation Of Cirsium Ownbeyi, A Rare Native Thistle, In Wyoming, F. Leland Russell, Robby L. Mcminn, Lauren A. Konrade, James B. Beck Apr 2019

Population Sizes, Rhinocyllus Conicus Use, And Patterns Of Genetic Variation Of Cirsium Ownbeyi, A Rare Native Thistle, In Wyoming, F. Leland Russell, Robby L. Mcminn, Lauren A. Konrade, James B. Beck

Western North American Naturalist

Cirsium ownbeyi is a habitat-specific, endemic, polycarpic thistle in northwest Colorado, northeast Utah, and southwest Wyoming. In 1998, seven C. ownbeyi populations, which ranged from 4 to >30,000 plants, were known from Wyoming. The population genetics of C. ownbeyi and the threat posed by an exotic flower head–feeding weevil, Rhinocyllus conicus, in Wyoming are unknown. Between 2014 and 2016, we visited Wyoming C. ownbeyi populations to determine (1) changes in population sizes since 1998, (2) extent of R. conicus use, and (3) amount and distribution of genetic variation within and between populations. We quantified densities of plants within populations …

A New Pedot Synthesis Method And Its Application In Energy Storage, Haozhe Chen Apr 2019

A New Pedot Synthesis Method And Its Application In Energy Storage, Haozhe Chen

McKelvey School of Engineering Graduate Student Theses & Dissertations

Conducting polymer is a common electrode material in supercapacitors, people usually create nano-structure on electrode surface to enhance the performance of supercapacitors. Synthetic nanostructured polymers have been implemented in many ways, most of them are template-based synthesis, which is time consuming and expensive, people are pursuing an easier way to synthesize nanostructured conducting polymers. Combining ferric chloride solution hydrolysis and EDOT polymerization to get PEDOT nano fiber in one step has been achieved. We develop a new method to synthesis PEDOT nano fiber from solid-state iron in one step. Our process takes place in a single step inside a sealed …

Social Work, Politics, And Social Policy Education: Applying A Multidimensional Framework Of Power, Amy Krings, Vincent Fusaro, Kerri L. Nicoll, Na Youn Lee Apr 2019

Social Work, Politics, And Social Policy Education: Applying A Multidimensional Framework Of Power, Amy Krings, Vincent Fusaro, Kerri L. Nicoll, Na Youn Lee

Social Work: School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Other Works

The call to promote social justice sets the social work profession in a political context. In an effort to enhance social workers’ preparedness to engage in political advocacy, this article calls on educators to integrate a broad theoretical understanding of power into social policy curricula. We suggest the use of a multidimensional conceptualization of power that emphasizes mechanisms of decision making, agenda control, and attitude formation. We then apply these mechanisms to demonstrate how two prominent features of contemporary politics—party polarization and racially biased attitudes—affect the ability of social workers to influence policy. Finally, we suggest content that social work …

Being A Prison Chaplain In A Godless Country: An Exploration Of The Czech Correctional Chaplaincy, Andrea Beláňová, Tereza Trejbalova, Bridget Kelley Apr 2019

Being A Prison Chaplain In A Godless Country: An Exploration Of The Czech Correctional Chaplaincy, Andrea Beláňová, Tereza Trejbalova, Bridget Kelley

Graduate Research Symposium (2018 - present)

Prison chaplaincy, along with religiosity in the criminal justice system, are widely researched in the US (e.g.,Maruna, Wilson, & Curran, 2006; Sundt & Cullen, 1998). The Czech Republic remains one of the most secular countries in the world; about 72% of the population does not identify with any religion or church (Pew Research Center, 2017). The religious landscape in the country lead to prison chaplains being a largely unexplored population, existing in the tension between a total institution and their church. Due to the lack of research concerning this population in the Czech republic, this study aims to examine the …

No Reference Image Quality Assessment, Ravi S. Ravela Apr 2019

No Reference Image Quality Assessment, Ravi S. Ravela

Electrical Engineering Theses

A no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) technique can measure the visual distortion in an image without any reference image data. NR-IQA aims to predict the image quality based on the quality perceived by the Human Visual System (HVS). Image distortions can be caused through the acquisition, compression or transmission of digital images. From the several types of image distortions, JPEG and JPEG2000 compression distortions, addition of white noise, Gaussian blur, and fast fading are the most common. Several approaches were proposed to tackle this problem, some were distortion specific and some were general purpose. Of these, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) …

Knowing, Loving, And Being Through Excess: Creation Of Subject In Bertha Harris’S Lover, Kristin S. Bruckner Apr 2019

Knowing, Loving, And Being Through Excess: Creation Of Subject In Bertha Harris’S Lover, Kristin S. Bruckner

English Department Theses

This article is a psychoanalytic and feminist reading of Bertha Harris’s novel Lover, a text that deserves wider critical scrutiny and close reading for the theoretical implications it initiates. The novel presents an understanding of what it means to be both a woman and a lover, and it indicates the ways that these two ideas are intertwined. Although it was written in 1976, Lover portrays innovative feminist performances of subject which remain relevant to contemporary feminist readers. The subject this novel envisions is one who is able to enact a seduction that was unavailable to traditional conceptions of self under …

The Population Densities Of Argon Metastable Levels, Nada Khogeer, Chelsy P. Gonzalez, Milka Nikolic Apr 2019

The Population Densities Of Argon Metastable Levels, Nada Khogeer, Chelsy P. Gonzalez, Milka Nikolic

Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD

In this experiment, we used the optical emission spectroscopy (OES) method to obtain the main properties of low temperature Argon plasma. The experiment was sustained in powers and pressures that ranges from 30-100 W and 15-100 mTorr. We used numerical methods for the Argon kinetic model to calculate metastable levels and resonant states for the first excited states in low temperature Argon plasma. By finding the ratio of two spectral lines and finding another ratio from a different upper energy level that goes down to the same two lower energy levels, we can construct a system of two nonlinear equations. …

Obstetric-Related Racial Health Disparities: An Annotated Bibliography, Jamie Turner-Rose

Honors Capstones

The maternal mortality rate in the United States is among the highest of all industrialized countries. It has also been increasing for over twenty years, and at a disproportionately higher rate for women of various ethnic backgrounds. Non-Hispanic black woman in the United States are four times more likely than non-Hispanic white women to die as a result of childbirth. As nurses, what action can be taken to reduce both the maternal mortality rates as well as the racial gap? Due to the complexity of the problem there is not one answer, however, there have been common themes identified throughout …
