  • Influence of processing parameters on diffusion of divalent nickel in wet silica sol-gel monoliths

    Creator:
    Dickson, David J.
    Abstract:
    The diffusion of divalent nickel (Ni²⁺) from wet silica gels was investigated. Silica gel is gaining interest as an encapsulation matrix for biological components. The transport of biologically relevant species within the gel is determined by the structural characteristics of the gel, which are in turn governed by synthesis parameters....

  • Konjac flour/carrageenan gel as a suitable fat replacer in a ground meat system

    Creator:
    Dickson, Robert L.
    Abstract:
    The effect of adding a high moisture gel manufactured from a combination of konjac flour (2%) and kappa carrageenan (1%) to a reduced fat ground beef system was evaluated. Lean beef (95-10) and 50-50 fat beef trimmings were used to manufacture reduced fat ground beef patties containing konjac flour/carrageenan (K/C)...

  • In Defense of the "Ringding Mukta" : The Later Work of J.D. Salinger

    Creator:
    Herb, Danielle Kristine
    Abstract:
    My thesis explores the later work of author J.D. Salinger, including two narratives featured in Nine Stories, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," and "Teddy," and Franny and Zooey, "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters," and "Seymour: an Introduction." Through my analysis I argue that the religious nature of Salinger's fiction...

  • David Foster Wallace's communal middle ground

    Creator:
    Randlemon, Daniel E.
    Abstract:
    Throughout the course of this thesis, I argue that the prose of David Foster Wallace, specifically his posthumously published novel The Pale King, inhabits a middle ground between universal sincerity and the particularized authenticity of postmodern irony. I examine Lionel Trilling's definitions of sincerity and authenticity before moving toward an...

  • A study of symmetric matrices and quadratic forms over fields of characteristic two

    Creator:
    Furcha, John Arthur
    Abstract:
    This thesis has four main results. First we find a reduction form for symmetric matrices over fields of characteristic two. This result parallels the diagonalization theorem for symmetric matrices over fields of characteristic not two. Secondly we reduce our reduction form to a canonical form in perfect fields of characteristic...

  • Learning by imitation : the scholarly works of David Bartholomae

    Creator:
    Gallup, Sarah E.
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the scholarship in pedagogical theory and practice of David Bartholomae over the past thirty-five years, in particular examining the role that the rhetorical construct of imitation has played in its development.

  • An evaluation of the use of tarif tables in second growth Douglas-fir

    Creator:
    Marshall, David D.
    Abstract:
    The Washington State Department of Natural Resources' Comprehensive Tree-Volume Tarif Tables are a set of preconstructed local volume tables. This can increase "on plot" efficiency since only diameters are necessary to obtain volumes after the proper table for the given diameter/height relationship is accessed. The tables are accessed and indexed...

  • The j-Function and the Monster

    Creator:
    Scherer, Asa
    Abstract:
    The first published notion that the j-function was in any way related to the Monster came in 1979, when Conway and Norton noted in [CN79] that each coefficient in the q- expansion of the j-function could be written as a (nontrivial) integral linear combination of the dimensions of irreducible representations...
