Bowling Together: The Making of a Documentary

Creator:: Campbell, Casey R.
Abstract:: In an attempt to better understand documentary theory and production, I created Bowling Together; a documentary recounting the experiences of one bowling team and looking at the relationship between participation in bowling leagues and civil society. This thesis provided me a first-hand experience at producing a documentary, allowing me to...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Writing home : memoirs of a working-class student

Creator:: Lathrop, Arminda W.
Abstract:: This collection of personal essays, inspired by Richard Rodriguez's Hunger of Memory, raises questions about the separation that becomes apparent through writing, education, and transitions between class. The author uses her personal experience of writing in, and attending a private university to explore the interactions of class, literacy, and education....

Hydrological consequences of two native shrubs in semi-arid Senegal : patterns, processes, concepts and methods

Creator:: Kizito, Fred
Abstract:: Water availability is a critical limiting element in semi-arid ecosystem productivity and presents particular challenges in Sahelian countries such as Senegal. The landscapes are characterized by the presence of two common semi-arid shrubs (Piliostigma reticulatum and Guiera senegalensis), both of which may be important hydraulic regulators in these water-limited ecosystems....

The knowledge base and instructional practices of two highly qualified experienced secondary mathematics teachers

Creator:: Beauchman, Molly Laverne Taylor
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate the knowledge base and instructional practices of two highly qualified experienced secondary mathematics teachers within the context of their classrooms during a unit in a geometry class. Data collected from interviews, classroom observations, pre and post-observation questionnaires, and detailed analyses of several...

Evolution of aposematic warning coloration in parasitic wasps (Hymenoptera:Braconidae)

Creator:: Leathers, Jason Wayne
Abstract:: Many Hymenoptera, with their painful stings and noxious chemical defenses, exhibit bright aposematic warning color patterns and are the most frequently mimicked group of organisms. Such aposematic color patterns are found in parasitic wasps of the Neotropical Compsobracon group (Braconidae). Many members of this group exhibit color patterns similar to...

Continuous flow microreactor for chemical bath deposition : a novel approach to the deposition of polycrystalline semiconductor thin films

Creator:: Mugdur, Prakash
Abstract:: Over the years, chemical bath deposition (CBD) is being widely used in the fabrication of Cu (In, Ga) Se₂ and CdTe based solar cells and photovoltaics. Many chalcogenides have been successfully deposited by this technique and it has received a great deal of attention owing to its low temperature and...

Elevated ceramide levels contribute to the age-associated decline in vascular endothelial nitric oxide : pharmacologic administration of lipoic acid partially restores function

Creator:: Smith, Anthony R.
Abstract:: The vascular endothelium is a single cell layer that lines the lumen of the entire vasculature. It is the site of synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), a vasodilatory compound synthesized by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). NO causes intracellular calcium sequestration of the vascular smooth muscle cells, relaxing and dilating...

Potential influences of oral contraceptive use and physical activity on bone health : a one-year prospective study in young women

Creator:: Almstedt Shoepe, Hawley Chase
Abstract:: Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease affecting 44 million Americans. A primary strategy to prevent osteoporosis is to develop a high peak bone mass in youth. Oral Contraceptives (OCs) alter hormones in women and could affect bone mass development. The interaction between OCs and skeletal mineralization is poorly understood. PURPOSE: Our...

A new trigonal huntite material and subgroup relationships between crystallographic space groups

Creator:: Hruschka, Michael Archimedes and Hruschka, Michael A.
Abstract:: The use of an adjacency matrix to determine distant (not maximal or minimal) subgroup and supergroup relationships between crystallographic spacegroup types is described. Full lists of space-group types that are supergroups and subgroups for every space-group type were compiled. A list of the space-group types connected to each space-group type...

Efficient heuristics for buffer allocation in closed serial production lines

Creator:: Vergara Arteaga, Hector A.
Abstract:: The optimal allocation of buffers in serial production systems is one of the oldest and most researched problems in Industrial Engineering. In general, there are three main approaches to the buffer allocation problem when the objective is to maximize throughput. The first is basically a systematic trial and error procedure...
