  • In and Out of Touch : Fabricated Histories in Nella Larsen's Passing and James VanDerZee's Studio Portraiture

    Creator:
    Trowbridge, A. Hayley
    Abstract:
    Author Nella Larsen and photographer James VanDerZee are two of the most canonical figures of Harlem Renaissance studies, whose respective novels and portraits have been explored extensively, if separately, by scholars. Both Larsen's 1929 novel Passing and VanDerZee's studio portraiture of the 1920s and 1930s have been read in terms...

  • "Her Hypnotic Eyes" : Reading the Optical in Aaron Douglas’s Aspects of Negro Life and Nella Larsen's Passing

    Creator:
    Barkley, Charles K.
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines two cultural productions of the Harlem Renaissance: Aaron Douglas's mural series, Aspects of Negro Life, and Nella Larsen's novel Passing. I read these works together because, more than their shared time period, they showcase an attention to the visual. Both Larsen and Douglas's works are concerned with...

  • Master/slave parallel processing

    Creator:
    Larsen, Steen K.
    Abstract:
    An 8 bit microcontroller slave unit was designed, constructed, and tested to demonstrate advantages and feasibility of master/slave parallel processing using conventional processors and relatively slow inter-processor communications. An 8 bit ISA bus controlled by an 80X86 is interfaced to a logic block that controls data flow to and from...

  • Diversity combining ARQ over the m(> 2)-ary unidirectional channel

    Creator:
    Elarief, Noha
    Abstract:
    In diversity combining automatic repeat request (ARQ), erroneous packets are combined together forming a single, more reliable, packet. In this thesis, we give a diversity combining scheme for the m-ary unidirectional channel. A system using the given scheme with a t-unidirectional error detecting code is able to correct up to...

  • Re-sounding Harlem Renaissance narratives : the repetition and representation of identity through sound in Nella Larsen's Passing and Toni Morrison's Jazz

    Creator:
    Aragon, Racheal
    Abstract:
    The cultural and historical construction of African American identity in the United States has been closely tied to the dialectical relationship formed between sound and silence. This thesis examines the modernist and postmodernist representation of sound and silence in the African American novels Passing (1929), by Nella Larsen, and Jazz...

  • Of mice and bunnies : Walt Disney, Hugh Hefner, and the age of consensus

    Creator:
    Allen-Spencer, Patricia C.
    Abstract:
    Post World War II victory culture and its fallout-the consensus ideology-led to the creation of a middle class willing to conform to a prescribed set of ideals, safely removed from all danger, and enjoying the material benefits of a growing middle-class income bracket. Walt Disney and Hugh Hefner, two seemingly...

  • Low-power high-performance 32-bit 0.5[u]m CMOS adder

    Creator:
    Shah, Parag Shantu
    Abstract:
    Currently, the two most critical factors of microprocessor design are performance and power. The optimum balance of these two factors is reflected in the speed-power product(SPP). 32-bit CMOS adders are used as representative circuits to investigate a method of reducing the SPP. The purpose of this thesis is to show...

  • The Effectiveness of Using Robotics for Career Technology Education in a Middle School STE(A)M Course

    Creator:
    Bodle, Ernie
    Abstract:
    Using robotics in education allows students to become familiar with multiple topics in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). With the use of robotic educational tools in the 8th – 12th grade classrooms, such as Sphero, Anki Cozmo, and Lego Mindstorms, few devices allow students to build the robots’ electrical...

  • Top-down Influences of bald eagles on common murre populations in Oregon

    Creator:
    Horton, Cheryl A.
    Abstract:
    Populations of organisms are influenced by both top-down (predator driven) and bottom-up (environment or resource driven) effects. Seabird research has largely focused on bottom-up factors influencing reproduction, with little emphasis on top-down. Our goal was to better understand top-down impacts on colonial nesting seabirds over a range of spatio-temporal scales....

  • Epidemic Dynamics of Sudden Oak Death in the Forests of Oregon

    Creator:
    Carson, Adam
    Abstract:
    Sudden Oak Death (SOD) is a forest disease caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora ramorum, and infects trees in the Western United States and Europe. This generalist pathogen can infect over 130 species of plants, and causes rapid mortality in tree species in the Fagaceae. Sexual reproduction is thought to...
