Mesofauna Associated With The Subtropical/Tropical Marine Sponge Amphimedon Viridis : Are Faunal Associations Likely To Provide Refuge From Fish Predation Due To Physical Or Chemical Feeding Deterrent Properties Of This Sponge?, Jonathan Huang Jan 2007

Mesofauna Associated With The Subtropical/Tropical Marine Sponge Amphimedon Viridis : Are Faunal Associations Likely To Provide Refuge From Fish Predation Due To Physical Or Chemical Feeding Deterrent Properties Of This Sponge?, Jonathan Huang

All ETDs from UAB

Sessile benthic marine organisms such as sponges are frequently colonized by a wide diversity of invertebrates. The present study focused on a quantitative analysis of the mesofauna associated with the common subtropical/tropical sponge Amphimedon viridis and explored several criteria for the basis for this mesofauna-sponge relationship. Specimens of Amphimedon viridis were hand-collected individually in bags from both Saint Joseph Bay, Florida Panhandle, and Sugar Loaf Key, Florida Keys between April - November 2006. Quantitative analyses of sponge surfaces and interiors revealed that the most common sponge-associated group was comprised of amphipods, followed by polychaetes and tenaid crustaceans. 35 percent of …


Brain Drain Or Brain Exchange? The Effect Of Skilled Migration On Sending And Receiving Countries: A Perspective Of Kenyans In The U.S., Polly W. Kamau Jan 2007

Brain Drain Or Brain Exchange? The Effect Of Skilled Migration On Sending And Receiving Countries: A Perspective Of Kenyans In The U.S., Polly W. Kamau

All ETDs from UAB

Every year, thousands of skilled individuals leave their countries of origin and migrate to other more developed countries. The more developed and industrialized nations are increasingly competing to recruit highly skilled immigrants to meet labor shortages. Developing countries continue to lose their skilled professionals to developed countries like the U.S and the UK. The steady supply of skilled immigrants is important for developed economies because these immigrants bring skills that are in short supply, raise productivity and they help create additional jobs through entrepreneurship activities. Sending countries on the other hand may have a lot to gain in terms of …

The Legend And Life Of Peter Francisco: Fame, Fortune, And The Deprivation Of America's Original Citizen Soldier, Wesley T. Joyner Jan 2007

The Legend And Life Of Peter Francisco: Fame, Fortune, And The Deprivation Of America's Original Citizen Soldier, Wesley T. Joyner

Theses and Dissertations

Peter Francisco is an oft-forgotten hero of the American Revolution. A dark-skinned, foreign orphan and former servant, he distinguished himself nationally as a soldier of legendary renown. However, Francisco remains largely absent from the popular modern-day memory of the Revolution. This analysis determines how and why this occurred as well as how and why Francisco remains remembered today by a small minority of American supporters. Methodologically, the analysis examines Francisco's life through a cultural studies lens. It challenges previous analyses of Francisco's life based on romance and myth not akin to historical reality. And although this interpretation gives credence to …


Review Of Out Of The Cave: A Philosophical Inquiry Into The Dead Sea Scrolls Research, By Edna Ullmann-Margalit, Sidnie White Crawford Jan 2007

Review Of Out Of The Cave: A Philosophical Inquiry Into The Dead Sea Scrolls Research, By Edna Ullmann-Margalit, Sidnie White Crawford

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

Edna Ullmann-Margalit, a professor of the philosophy of science 1 at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has turned her interest in the Dead Sea Scrolls into a fascinating study of the scholarship on the Dead Sea Scrolls. As she makes clear in the introduction (p. 17), Ullmann-Margalit makes no claim to expertise in the Scrolls, but is rather engaged in “second-order” scholarship; her subject is the study of the Scrolls. The book is divided into an introduction and three chapters: Chapter 1, “Writings and Ruins: The Essene Connection”; Chapter 2, “A Hard Look at ‘Hard Facts’: The Archaeology of Qumran”; …


Pilar De Zubiaurre: Entre El Cometa Y La Sombra, Iker González-Allende Jan 2007

Pilar De Zubiaurre: Entre El Cometa Y La Sombra, Iker González-Allende

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

Pilar de Zubiaurre es una de las mujeres más destacadas en el ambiente cultural español en los años veinte y treinta, y en el exilio mexicano a partir de 1939. Sin embargo, no se han dedicado estudios monográficos a su figura, lo que se puede explicar por la convergencia de diversas causas. Por un lado, quizás el motivo principal es la escasez ' de escritos que llegó a publicar, en concreto, algunos cuentos bajo pseudónimo en España, y varios artículos de costumbres vascas en Euzko Deya de México, ya en el exilio. Por otro lado, hay que tener en cuenta …


Introduction To Emf 11: The Cloister And The World, Thomas M. Carr Jan 2007

Introduction To Emf 11: The Cloister And The World, Thomas M. Carr

French Language and Literature Papers

Early modern nuns seem poles apart from women in the West today. They strove after an ideal of perfection that stressed humility, intellectual simplicity, asceticism, and submission that is the opposite of the autonomy and empowerment the contemporary feminist movement proposes for women. Even during the Ancien Régime nuns were isolated from their own society by the Council of Trent's revitalization of clausura. To modern eyes, the cloistered nun epitomizes a hierarchical church that cut a woman off from her own society, leaving her little initiative or voice. However, a burgeoning number of books and articles published in the …


A Checklist Of Published Writings In French By Early Modern Nuns, Thomas M. Carr Jan 2007

A Checklist Of Published Writings In French By Early Modern Nuns, Thomas M. Carr

French Language and Literature Papers

The great amount of writing by early modern nuns that was published during the Ancien Régime is underexploited because no master list of it exists. For example, at least ninety books by some sixty different nuns were published between 1600 and 1700, and many more that have been published since. The Checklist of over 300 items is an effort to fill this gap. Besides books authored by nuns, it includes many biographies that contain samples of their writings. Short occasional texts, such as death notices, lettres circulaires, and legal factums have generally been excluded, however. Unless another location is noted, …

Regional Advocacy Networks And The Protocol On The Rights Of Women In Africa, Melinda Adams, Alice J. Kang Jan 2007

Regional Advocacy Networks And The Protocol On The Rights Of Women In Africa, Melinda Adams, Alice J. Kang

Department of Political Science: Faculty Publications

While there has been a significant amount of research on transnational feminist activism at the global level, many feminist transnational advocacy networks are mobilizing within world regions. The lack of attention to the regional level has created a considerable imbalance in research on transnational activism. This article's first objective is to define regional advocacy networks (RANs) as a collection of individuals and organizations from the same world region working together toward a common goal. The article's second objective is to explore the conditions under which RANs are influential. We investigate conditions for RAN success through a case study of an …
