Tennyson and Hopkins scholarship is dominated by a focus on antithetical dichotomies. Tennyson's speakers are fractured selves focused on the gap between matter and spirit, faith and reason, solitude and community. Likewise, Hopkins' doubled vocation as priest and poet is presented as a contradiction to the point that the transition...
The purpose of this study was to compare and test the efficiency of the leading kinds of media being used for the isolation and identification
of Clostridium botulinum type E strains, and to develop a
more reliable method and media for the differentiation of this organism
based on the "pearly...
Quantity variations in pigments and lipid classes were determined
following γ-irradiation of Micrococcus radiodurans, Sarcina
lutea, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Pigmentation was determined by extraction with organic solvents
and measured as optical density at 475 mμ for M. radiodurans
and S. lutea, and 410 mμ for Ps. E aetuginosa. Pigments of...
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the
effectiveness of two smoking cessation programs -- one
group and one self-help -- which were developed and are
currently employed by the American Cancer Society.
The research was conducted in a work setting, and
all subjects were employees of the State...
The dynamics of tansy ragwort, Senecio jacobaea L. , and the cinnabar moth, Tyria jacobaeae (L.) were studied with the aid of a system simulation model. The model development and validation were based on knowledge of the plant and herbivore gathered from the literature, four years of data from previous...
Disc gel electrophoresis of the vegatative cell -free extracts ofstrains of Clostridium botulinum types A, B, C, E, and F and therelated nontoxic group showed limited value as a means for identifyingthese closely related microorganisms, since separation,though not consistent in all cases, could only be based on the numberof protein...
A satellite-derived Climatology of Global Ocean Winds (COGOW) on a 0.5° latitude by 0.5° latitude grid is presented based on 5-years (August 1999 July 2004) of measurements from the SeaWinds scatterometer that was launched on 19 June 1999 onboard the QuikSCAT satellite. SeaWinds is an active microwave radar that estimates...
The difficulties encountered in working with micro-quantities
of lipids have been overcome by the advent of new and improved
procedures in chromatography which have made possible better
fractionation and identification. Bacterial lipids because of their
different lipid pattern from other life forms have stimulated much
interest. Studies have been made...
This thesis is a series of personal essays that explore themes of
fundamentalism, family, loss, personal growth and the question of free will.
The work reflects my study of the written word, of language, and of how
people have tried to define, or have experienced, the numinous. The essays
are...
The central purpose of this comparison was to determine the congruence
or difference between two teaching techniques, the programmed
multimedia approach and the traditional teaching method as used in presenting
drug information to eighth grade students in the Mankato,
Minnesota school district. The population sample consisted of 391
students enrolled...
