Stress-Strain Management Of Heteroepitaxial Polycrystalline Silicon Carbide Films, Christopher William Locke Jan 2011

Stress-Strain Management Of Heteroepitaxial Polycrystalline Silicon Carbide Films, Christopher William Locke

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Silicon carbide (SiC) is one of the hardest known materials and is also, by good fortune, a wide bandgap semiconductor. While the application of SiC for high-temperature and high-power electronics is fairly well known, its utility as a highly robust, chemically-inert material for microelectrical mechanical systems (MEMS) is only beginning to be well recognized. SiC can be grown on both native SiC substrates or on Si using heteroepitaxial growth methods which affords the possibility to use Si micromachining methods to fabricate advanced SiC MEMS devices.

The control of film stress in heteroepitaxial silicon carbide films grown on polysilicon-on-oxide substrates has …


Creative Reception In Urban Space Or The Art Of Listening, Monvilai Rojanatanti Jan 2011

Creative Reception In Urban Space Or The Art Of Listening, Monvilai Rojanatanti

Journal of Urban Culture Research

The art scene in Thailand is evidently active and vibrant with numerous art spaces and galleries established in many regions of the country. However this is only one side of the art movement in Thailand. On the other side, who is the audience for this growth? This research aims to tighten the gap between visual arts exhibitions and their audience as well as arguing for the importance of educational programs that should be attached to the visual arts exhibitions in the art institutions of Thailand. The research also aims to search for the medium that shows how visual arts exhibitions …

Nonvoters: Doing Nothing To Change The Government They Hate, Geoffrey N. Mciver Jan 2011

Nonvoters: Doing Nothing To Change The Government They Hate, Geoffrey N. Mciver

Political Science Theses and Capstones

The sporadic and often dismal voter turnout of the American public is often regarded as a hole in the democratic model. This research examines the influence of an individual‘s attitude about their government and how it affects their voting habits. Literature in the past has isolated demographic makeup as the reason for nonvoting, i.e. education or income. However, the nonvoter‘s state of mind in relation to their general feelings toward government and the social contract has been broadly overlooked. A new measure of an individual‘s attitude toward government was created using a collection of survey questions centered on a person‘s …


The Prison On The Moor: A Study Of The American Prisoner-Of-War Experience Within Dartmoor Prison, 1813-1815, Justin Jones Jan 2011

The Prison On The Moor: A Study Of The American Prisoner-Of-War Experience Within Dartmoor Prison, 1813-1815, Justin Jones

History Theses - Archive

The War of 1812 is a conflict best characterized by two adjectives: ironic and forgotten. Conventional histories of the War of 1812 focus almost exclusively on the land engagements of the war, despite the occurrence of several crucial engagements at sea. In what is perhaps the greatest irony of all, one of the most infamous incidents of the war--the shooting of several United States prisoners-of-war at Dartmoor prison in 1815--has received virtually no scholarly attention. The general topic of prisoners-of-war during the War of 1812 has received almost no treatment. Owing to the lack of substantial scholarly literature on Dartmoor …


William Dampier And James Cook: Two Windows Into The British Enlightened Exploration Of The Cultures And Societies Of The Pacific, Colby Ty Smith Jan 2011

William Dampier And James Cook: Two Windows Into The British Enlightened Exploration Of The Cultures And Societies Of The Pacific, Colby Ty Smith

History Theses - Archive

This study looks into the lives of two well-known British explorers and their own observations and interpretations of the Pacific societies and cultures that they encountered on their voyages. More specifically the study has attempted to reveal the similarities and divergences between these two British explorers and their respective interpretations of Pacific natives. Furthermore, the backdrop of Enlightenment thought is used to elucidate a better understanding of the encounters of the two very different societies of Western Europe and the Pacific world during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Finally, this study is important in that it sheds light on the …


"What Change Hath God Wrought?": How Gender And The Environment Shaped New England Praying Town Identity And Created A Christian Indian Elect, Kallie Kosc Jan 2011

"What Change Hath God Wrought?": How Gender And The Environment Shaped New England Praying Town Identity And Created A Christian Indian Elect, Kallie Kosc

History Theses - Archive

By the 1780s, Christian Indians from praying towns throughout Southern New England accepted an invitation to reside amongst fellow Christianized Oneida in upstate New York. While all parties agreed to live as one "body" with "one head, one heart, one blood," tensions quickly arose between these Christian Indians. While the joint communities of Brothertown, New Stockbridge, and Oneida were intended by the inhabitants to be a place where Christianized natives could form a strong unifying force against Anglo land encroachment, conflict emerged over how to live the proper Christian Indian existence. The two most prominent sources of disagreement between these …

Together: Preparing Christian Educators For The Future, Dean R. Hansen, Brent Alan Mai Jan 2011

Together: Preparing Christian Educators For The Future, Dean R. Hansen, Brent Alan Mai

CUP Faculty Research

Since 1959, the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LC-MS) has been training Christian educators entering the profession that eventually came to be called the Director of Christian Education (DCE). The chapters of this book compile topics of interest to both practicing Christian educators and those studying to become Christian educators. Some chapters summarize research about DCEs and the DCE experience while others share years of personal experience as a DCE within a congregation.


Female Testaments As Social Discourse: A Textual Analysis Under A Critical Discourse Analysis Approach, Maria Martinez-Mira Jan 2011

Female Testaments As Social Discourse: A Textual Analysis Under A Critical Discourse Analysis Approach, Maria Martinez-Mira

Modern Languages & Literatures Articles

The following article is an analysis of 33 female wills (from 16th-20th centuries) found in notarial protocols at the Murcia Regional Archives (Murcia, Spain). Using a Critical Discourse Analysis framework, with special emphasis of Pierre Bourdieu’s postulates, this article studies how women handle gender, cultural, and power relations, challenge social hierarchies and, at the same time, reproduce them in their attempt to look respectable/honorable, assert their power, redefine themselves and negotiate their public image.
