Herman Melville's Moby-Dick : hermeneutics and epistemology in Ishmael's seafaring

Creator:: Goodrum, Emily A.
Abstract:: This paper defends a reading of Hennan Melville's Moby-Dick that elevates Ishmael's status from mere narrator of Ahab's tragedy to that of protagonist of his own story, a novel of epistemological seafaring. As a metaphysical quester, Ishmael provides the novel's only reliable and complex vision of the condition of man...

Creator:: Williams, William Appleman and Gardner, Lloyd C., 1934-
Abstract:: The essays in this collection do not cluster about a specific theme, nor do they present a single unified interpretative approach to issues in the history of American foreign policy. Above all, William Appleman Williams is a teacher. And good teachers are disappointed with conformity. No one would ever come...

Seismicity at the Cascadia plate boundary beneath the Oregon continental shelf

Creator:: Williams, Mark Charles
Abstract:: Since 2003, 39 small earthquakes have been detected offshore central Oregon in the nominally locked part of the Cascadia subduction zone, where very little seis- mic activity has been recorded in spite of a paleo-seismic record of great subduction events. Although the regional earthquake bulletin reports depths of 29 and...

"Present fears" and "Horrible Imaginings" : Gothic elements in Shakespearean Tragedy

Creator:: Appel, Ian S.
Abstract:: Gothic literary works are characterized as such by their ability to represent and evoke terror. The form this representation takes is varied; often terror originates in the atmospheric effects of settings, in the appearance of mysterious, supposedly supernatural phenomena, and, perhaps most significantly, in the behavior of villainous characters. Shakespearean...

Effects of Maternal Treatment with Testosterone Proprionate in Ewes from Day 30-60 of Gestation on Male Offspring Potential Fertility

Creator:: Scully, Clare M.
Abstract:: Prenatal exposure to excess androgens, testosterone in particular, has clear effects on potential ram fertility. Utilizing breeding soundness examinations in male sheep will assess the ram's potential ability to impregnate a certain number of healthy females during a defined breeding season. Identifying rams that have high breeding potential can provide...

Distribution, structure, and function of marine ecological communities in the northern California Current upwelling ecosystem

Creator:: Reese, Douglas Charles
Abstract:: Within systems characterized by substantial spatial and temporal variability, abundances of organisms tend to be higher in localized areas. Within the northern California Current system, the identification of such marine, biological hotspots would be of great importance to resource managers, conservationists, and research planners, and is consequently a growing area...

Range-use estimation and encounter probability for juvenile Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in the Prince William Sound-Kenai Fjords region of Alaska

Creator:: Meck, Stephen R.
Abstract:: Range, areas of concentrated activity, and dispersal characteristics for juvenile Steller sea lions Eumetopias jubatus in the endangered western population (west of 144° W in the Gulf of Alaska) are poorly understood. This study quantified space use by analyzing post-release telemetric tracking data from satellite transmitters externally attached to n...

Expression of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSHβ) and its Receptor (FSHR) within the Ovine Placentome

Creator:: Wu, Eleas M.
Abstract:: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) plays a key role in the ewe’s estrous cycle but understanding its continued importance during pregnancy is not well understood. Researchers have proposed a model theorizing that a cascade of hormones is responsible for pregnancy maintenance. Weems et al. proposed a model for placental progesterone production;...

Are there two subgroups of albacore, Thunnus alalunga, in the North Pacific? Evidence from variability in catch, seasonal migrations, and length composition for two subgroups in the coastal fishery of North America

Creator:: Barr, Charles M.
Abstract:: North Pacific albacore (Thunnus alalunga) is a highly migratory and commercially valuable species of tuna. All stock assessments and management decisions for North Pacific albacore are presently based on the assumption of a single, uniform stock. However, a growing body of evidence from diverse sources suggests that there are two...
