Approximately 18 square miles are included in the study area which lies 17 miles southwest of the town of Dillon, Montana. Strata exposed in the area include metamorphic, sedimentary, and volcanic rocks ranging in age from Precambrian to Recent. The Paleozoic and Mesozoic section
is approximately 8000 feet thick and...
The phenomenon of phantom limb pain has been well documented for centuries, but little clinical work has been done to alleviate it. Physician and neuroscientist Vilayanur S. Ramachandran began researching this condition nearly two decades ago, and has discovered a promising alternative treatment: mirror-box therapy. This therapy is not yet...
In a story of his life Les reflects on what he
has gained and what he has lost while seeking success in
the moving and shifting of military and academic life
through homes and schools all over the United States.
He describes himself as between races, languages, and
cultures.
The study of the question of why Shakespeare's Hamlet delays killing
Claudius in revenge for his father's murder is examined in light of the major
critical theories from neo-classical to modern scholarship. An expanded
treatment of the works of Fredson Bowers, Eleanor Prosser, Bertram Joseph,
and Roland Frye, is provided...
This thesis explores the challenges of monitoring stream hydrology in a warmer and wetter climate in the Kenai Peninsula (KP) and Prince William Sound (PWS) region of Southcentral Alaska, located on the traditional territories of the Dena’ina, Ahtna, Alutiiq/Sugpiaq, and Eyak People. The physical and climatological extremes of this region...
It is well established that the extended range V(I) transition behavior in
filamentary superconducting composites depends strongly on the processing
conditions of the composite. Based on previous work, a model proposed by
Warnes et al predicts that the second derivative of the V(I) transition is related to
a more fundamental...
The complicated nature of trauma and the epistemological discord as to what constitutes best evidence for exercise intervention programs for transient youth populations are problems that linger when creating evidence-based programs for the transient youth population predisposed to trauma. Consequently, to ensure program quality and effectiveness, it remains salient to...
Marine cyanobacteria have been shown to produce a variety of biologically active and stucturally diverse secondary metabolites. These compounds are of interest to natural products researchers mainly because of their potential application as biomedicinals, biochemical probes, and agrichemicals. The metabolic pathways utilized by the cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula to generate curacin...
Signs of climate change across the Pacific Northwest indicate changing patterns of timing and availability of stream flow. Declining summer low flows, decreasing snow pack, higher temperatures and an increasing fraction of mountain precipitation falling as rain, raise concerns about future reliability of stream flows. These changes will likely affect...
