What Is The Outlook For Guyana's Oil Sector?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that the Guyana-Suriname Basin could contain more than 15 billion barrels of oil as well as gas reserves of 42 trillion cubic feet. Guyana has awarded concessions to several major international oil companies as it seeks to exploit that potential, but oil has not yet been struck. What is the outlook for Guyana's oil sector? Does the country have the right regulatory environment in place to attract investment? Will the country's longstanding border dispute with Venezuela or current political gridlock affect the sector's development?

A Review Of “Compromising Scholarship: Religious And Political Bias In American Higher Education", Ken Badley

Faculty Publications - College of Education

In Compromising Scholarship, Yancey argues that politically conservative persons, religiously conservative persons, and especially politically, religiously conservative persons face a disadvantage when seeking either employment or a fair hearing in the contemporary American academy, especially in the social sciences and humanities. Several times while reading this book, I recalled a job interview of my own at a university in Canada. One interviewer asked whether my religious convictions might undermine my ability to teach courses in a program that prepared teachers for service in Saskatchewan’s public schools. I noted that, while the question was illegal under Canada’s Charter of Rights and …

The Impact Of Students' Academic And Social Relationships On College Student Persistence, Lindsay K. Wayt

Department of Educational Administration: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The purpose of this research study was to determine the connection between students’ relationships and their choice to persist at a post-secondary institution. Although other literature has centered around why students chose to leave an institution or the importance of student involvement and engagement, this study focused on who is most influential in encouraging students to work toward their degree attainment. The study includes results of the influence of peers, family, college faculty, and college student affairs staff on student persistence decisions. This research sought to make a contribution to the literature on retention and attrition issues at colleges and …

A Study Of A Thirteenth-Century Vernacular Moralized Bible: Vienna 2554 And Its Royal Audience, Jessica Wright

Theses and Dissertations

Codex Vindobonensis 2554, Vienna, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (hereafter labeled Vienna 2554) is the only thirteenth-century moralized bible written in vernacular French and was intended for a royal audience. This bible provides a moralizing gloss on contemporary political and religious issues by juxtaposing scenes from the Old and New Testaments. Placing the manuscript in the historical context of Blanche of Castile's regency and her desire to instill devout faith in her young son, Louis IX of France, the manuscript serves as a mirror that reflects contemporary relations between church and state. Moreover, the illuminated depictions of kingship of this medieval bible are …

Energetic Costs Of Thermoregulation And Population Life-History Characterization In Eastern Collared Lizards, Casey Lee Brewster

Theses and Dissertations

Thermoregulation theory makes distinct predictions as to the optimal level of thermoregulation when the costs associated with the thermal habitat are less favorable. I designed a manipulative experiment to test the hypothesis that thermal constraints reduce growth rates in hatchling-collared lizards by imposing high and low cost thermoregulation treatments. Lizards thermoregulated similarly between treatments, but grew more slowly in the high cost thermoregulation treatment. My results suggest that the decrement to growth in the high cost treatment is primarily the result of energy diverted from growth to locomotion shuttling between suitable micro- habitats. I combined this experiment with a field …

Writing Across The Curriculum: A Study Of Possibilities For Ualr, Mia Phillips

Theses and Dissertations

This study seeks to determine the feasibility of implementing writing across the curriculum (WAC) at UALR. For the purposes of this study, WAC will be defined as a methodology of instruction for undergraduate students attending a college or university that emphasizes writing in any discipline or major offered at that university. In other words, writing assignments and activities occur in classes that typically do not focus on writing like English and writing courses typically do. By utilizing a survey of best practices at four other universities, as well as a survey of attitudes of UALR faculty, this paper will provide …

Seniors And Social Networking: A Class To Connect Family And Friends, Catherine A. Chatelain

Theses and Dissertations

One of the most important life stages that senior citizens experience is the need to share the legacy of their lives with others. While many senior citizens are able to share these with family members, many others do not have the opportunity or the people to share this important time in their lives with. This project was designed with both of these groups in mind in an attempt to connect seniors with others through the social networking site, Facebook. The element of writing was also adopted into the project as a means to get seniors to reflect on their lives …

The current work is directed to consider various hazard index/accident prediction methodologies, carefully investigate hazard index/accident prediction methods, applied by Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), develop a model to allocate available monetary resources for upgrades of highway-rail grade crossings in the State of Tennessee and maximize the total benefits in terms of accident and severity reduction. Two different …
