Consequences Of Conquest Upon Roman Political, Social, Economic, Cultural And Architectural Development During And After The Punic Wars, 2nd Century B.C., Deborah Carol Blinka Jan 1980

Consequences Of Conquest Upon Roman Political, Social, Economic, Cultural And Architectural Development During And After The Punic Wars, 2nd Century B.C., Deborah Carol Blinka

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The Roman conquest of the eastern Mediterranean (264-100 B.C.) was one of the more important events in Roman history. The expansion of Carthage had been brought to a halt when the genius of the Roman general Scipio enabled the Romans to defeat the Carthaginians decisively on their own ground, at Zama in North Africa. With Carthage subdued, Rome set out systematically forestalling the rise of any potentially dangerous rival in Greece or the Near East. Rome gradually filled the power vacuum left by the disintegrating Hellenistic states and for the first time in history, the whole Mediterranean area was to …


Ascetic Progression, Nancy Bartusch Jan 1980

Ascetic Progression, Nancy Bartusch

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The title of my Studio Thesis is Ascetic Progression. My paintings reflect asceticism because they involve a solitary, personal search. The search leads to the unknown, as in a silent, tidal progression. I do not want to paint the things that I know. I may use a certain type of imagery or structure repeatedly as one uses the same language in new composition to express new thought. I am painting blindly in a way. I say blindly, because I want to reach beyond what I know. I may learn it at a later time, but when I paint it, it …

The Illusion Of Mirrored And Reflective Surfaces, Doug Castenson Jan 1980

The Illusion Of Mirrored And Reflective Surfaces, Doug Castenson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The study of mirrored and reflective surfaces has been a fascination of mine for several years. It began with a curiosity in the reflected image from the traditional wall mirror and other mirrored and reflective surfaces. My earliest graduate research concentrated on the illustration of reflected images on a two-dimensional surface. As my work progressed, however, the discovery of new media such as mirrored plexiglass and reflective paints allowed me greater flexibility and introduced the possibility of distorting the perceived mirrored image. Experimentation with these materials indicated the possibility of using the entire surface as a reflective mirror, quite unrelated …

The novels to be included were to be of an interest level including grade eight and a reading level range of grades four through eleven. Major social/cultural, political/legal, and economic issues of the Civil War era were attributed to each title in the bibliography.

The researcher had predicted …


The Stimson-Hoover Doctrine: The Bankruptcy Of Moral And Legalistic Diplomacy, Robert A. Jeffrey Jan 1980

The Stimson-Hoover Doctrine: The Bankruptcy Of Moral And Legalistic Diplomacy, Robert A. Jeffrey

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The primary purpose of this thesis was to investigate Richard N. Current's interpretation of the United States' response during the Manchurian Crisis of 1931-1932. The socalled "crisis" broke out in September when the Japanese used an explosion along the South Manchurian Railway at Mukden as an excuse to occupy that city and to move against other cities in Manchuria. The crisis continued into 1932 with the League of Nations failing to take any more effective action than to appoint a neutral commission to investigate the problems in Manchuria between the two belligerents-China and Japan. Throughout the crisis the United States …

The results of this analysis suggested that, for the most part, a realistic and generally balanced portrayal of emotionally …
