Reimagining Singapore In Verse: A Critical Discourse Analysis Of Contemporary Poetry And Its Role In Emerging National Identity, Benjamin Baguio Mangila

Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya

This paper critically examines how contemporary Singaporean writers use language in verse, that is poetry, to make vivid representations of Singapore as a nation and discursively construct the social notion of the country's national identity. Utilizing Wodak's (2001) Discourse-Historical framework, this paper reveals how the two authors use some common discursive strategies, mainly representational and predicational, in making explicit representations of Singapore and creating a strong sense of national identity. In their poetry, authors frequently utilize referential linguistic devices such as first personal pronouns to attach specific human traits that help personify Singapore and express an in-group identity that functions …

Electronic Structure Calculations Of Static Hyper(Polarizabilities) Of Substrate-Supported Group-Iv And -V Elemental Monolayers, Sumandeep Kaur, Ravindra Pandey, Shashi P. Karna

Michigan Tech Publications, Part 1

The substrate-induced effects on the polarizability (α) and first dipole hyperpolarizability (β) of group-IV (i.e., graphene, silicene, germanene, stanene) and group-V (i.e., phosphorene, arsenene, antimonene, and bismuthene) elemental monolayer nanoflakes are investigated. Density functional theory calculations show that these monolayers are bound with varying degrees of interaction strength with the Ag(111) substrate surface. Calculated dipole moment and β values are zero for the centrosymmetric configurations of the pristine elemental monolayers. On the other hand, substrate-induced changes in the electronic densities at the interface lead to substantially enhanced values of β, making these materials attractive for applications in the next-generation photonic …

Manufacturing A Protestant Consensus: Religion And Regime Entrenchment In The Eisenhower Era, John W. Compton

Political Science Faculty Articles and Research

The party regime concept is central to the study of American political development. Yet many questions about the processes through which party regimes are created, maintained, and dismantled remain unanswered. This article argues that religious bodies have historically played an important role in these processes. Specifically, I demonstrate that “mainline” Protestant groups made three distinct contributions to the entrenchment of the post–New Deal Democratic regime. First, the National Council of Churches (NCC) credibly reframed Democratic policy commitments as embodying universal values (as opposed to the preferences of favored interest groups). Second, the NCC's economic policy arm, which included representatives from …

Crack Detection In An Aluminium Oxide Grinding Wheel By Impact Hammer Tests, Yubin Lee, David Turcic, Dan Danks, Chien Wern

Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Grinding is widely used as the last step of the manufacturing process when a good surface finish and precise dimensional tolerances are required. However, if the grinding wheels have cracks, they may lead to a hazardous working environment and produce poor tolerance in machined products. Therefore, grinding wheels should be inspected for cracks before being mounted onto the machine. In this study, a novel method of finding possible internal cracks in the aluminium oxide grinding wheel will be explored by examining the natural frequency and displacement of wheels using an impact hammer testing method. Grinding wheels were cracked into two …

Global Climate Governance: Does Bilateral Cooperation Matter?, Nataliya Stranadko

Dissertations and Theses

The international relations literature looks at the climate regime from a perspective of power distribution, state interests, institutions, and multilateral negotiations. The international law literature focuses on legal analysis and design of international climate agreements. The transnational governance literature examines the participation of transnational actors at different levels of governance. However, each of these disciplines overlooks the trend in bilateral cooperation between national and subnational actors in a multilateral setting, which arises as part of the construction of the international regime. Why do national and subnational public actors in global climate governance cooperate bilaterally when multilateral cooperation already exists? What …

Mucosal And Systemic Neutralizing Antibodies To Norovirus Induced In Infant Mice Orally Inoculated With Recombinant Rotaviruses, Takahiro Kawagishi, Liliana Sánchez-Tacuba, Ningguo Feng, Veronica P Costantini, Ming Tan, Xi Jiang, Kim Y Green, Jan Vinjé, Siyuan Ding, Harry B Greenberg

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Rotaviruses (RVs) preferentially replicate in the small intestine and frequently cause severe diarrheal disease, and the following enteric infection generally induces variable levels of protective systemic and mucosal immune responses in humans and other animals. Rhesus rotavirus (RRV) is a simian RV that was previously used as a human RV vaccine and has been extensively studied in mice. Although RRV replicates poorly in the suckling mouse intestine, infection induces a robust and protective antibody response. The recent availability of plasmid only-based RV reverse genetics systems has enabled the generation of recombinant RVs expressing foreign proteins. However, recombinant RVs have not …

Quantitative Phosphoproteomic Analysis Reveals Unique Camp Signaling Pools Emanating From Ac2 And Ac6 In Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cells, Isabella Cattani-Cavalieri, Yue Li, Jordyn Margolis, Amy S. Bogard, Moom R. Roosan, Rennolds S. Ostrom

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

Human airway smooth muscle (HASM) is the primary target of ßAR agonists used to control airway hypercontractility in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). ßAR agonists induce the production of cAMP by adenylyl cyclases (ACs), activate PKA and cause bronchodilation. Several other G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) expressed in human airway smooth muscle cells transduce extracellular signals through cAMP but these receptors elicit different cellular responses. Some G-protein coupled receptors couple to distinct adenylyl cyclases isoforms with different localization, partly explaining this compartmentation, but little is known about the downstream networks that result. We used quantitative phosphoproteomics to define the …

Which Factors Influence Consumer Organic Specialty Bakery Product Taste Ratings?, Tatiana Drugova, Kynda R. Curtis

All Current Publications

In this fact sheet, we compare consumer taste ratings for organic and conventional specialty bakery products and analyze what factors explain the differences. These products are typically consumed for pleasure and are more expensive than mainstream baked goods. However, consumers have high quality expectations, including taste, which may be an issue if not satisfactory. Understanding factors that impact consumer taste rating for organic specialty bakery products can help identify what might be done to improve taste perceptions/expectations and the success of organic specialty bakery/pastry products.
