The Legend of the Three Living and the Three Dead : The Development of the Macabre in Late Medieval England

Creator:: Sandeno, Robin M.
Abstract:: Many authorities state that the development of macabre images were a result of the plague that first swept through western Europe 1347-1350. However, many aspects of the macabre were already in place prior to the plague. A more realistic explanation for the macabre is in the modification of religious belief,...

Rocks and reactors : an atomic interpretation of human rights, 1941-1979

Creator:: Richards, Linda Marie
Abstract:: The atomic age was enacted by many scientists as a way to realize health and human rights. Human rights were conceived in this context as rights to economic development, science education, and nuclear medicine. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) acted hand in hand with UN agencies and educators...

The role of innate immunity in cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis

Creator:: Poole, Angela Z.
Abstract:: Cnidarians, such as corals and sea anemones serve as hosts to a variety of organisms including symbiotic dinoflagellates, bacteria, virus, and apicomplexans. As corals are vital to the health and productivity of the reef ecosystem it is important to understand how these organisms interact with each component of the holobiont....

From the canvas to the page, artists of the twentieth century turned towards collaboration as a means by which they could reconfigure their works. Painters, writers, and dancers, borrowed aesthetic techniques from one another...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

Rational emotive education : its effects on the locus of control and school behavior of hidden children of alcoholics

Creator:: Triperinas, Mary Lou Armstrong
Abstract:: This study examined the effects of an eight week Rational Emotive Education Program (REE) on the perception of locus of control and the reduction of the number of disciplinary referrals of self-revealing children of alcoholics (COA's) in a school setting. The sample included 74 randomly selected middle school students. The...

An assessment of plant community structure, herbivory, soils, and state-and-transition theory on a winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata [Pursh] A.D.J. Meeuse & Smit) ecological site

Creator:: Matney, Casey A.
Abstract:: State-and-transition models (STMs) have been successfully used to describe ecological dynamics in woodlands, shrublands, grasslands, and several other ecosystems. Changes in vegetation and soil are measured to gauge and predict plant community dynamics within ecological states and transitions between alternative ecological states. Ecological states and their boundaries are defined by...

A proposed framework for increasing the accessibility of systems thinking intervention approaches for non-systems thinking practitioners

Creator:: Solberg, Thomas Roe
Abstract:: Meta-methodologies have been created to assist systems thinking practitioners in selecting applicable intervention approaches for different system states; however, current meta-methodologies do not address the lack of accessibility for non-systems thinking practitioners. To address this problem, the key system states that contribute the most to reduce the variety gap between...

The effects of increased supply and emerging technologies in the forest products industry on rural communities in the northwest U.S.

Creator:: Crandall, Mindy S.
Abstract:: The development of a market for currently non-merchantable forest material, such as harvest residues of tops and limbs of trees or small diameter trees, has been suggested as a possible win-win solution that could: (i) provide a financial incentive to help motivate treatments to reduce wildfire risk or restore forest...
