  • The Art and Craft of John Williams

    Creator:
    Lincoln, Danae A.
    Abstract:
    The intent of this paper is to bring more attention to the mastery involved with film composition as an art form. The research focuses specifically on the life, style, influences, and works of John Williams as a conductor, film composer, and composer. It addresses his biography, filmography, and working relationships,...

  • "Sorrow's springs are the same" : synoeciosis in the poetry of Alfred Tennyson and Gerard Manley Hopkins

    Creator:
    Adamson, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Tennyson and Hopkins scholarship is dominated by a focus on antithetical dichotomies. Tennyson's speakers are fractured selves focused on the gap between matter and spirit, faith and reason, solitude and community. Likewise, Hopkins' doubled vocation as priest and poet is presented as a contradiction to the point that the transition...

  • 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...

  • Involvement of the Ets-1 transcription factor in early bovine and porcine embryo development

    Creator:
    Stauber, Leah
    Abstract:
    Early embryo development is dependent on maternally derived RNA and protein synthesized during oogenesis. In the bovine embryo this dependence lasts until the 8-16 cell stage, at which time embryonic transcripts become essential for continued development. One proposed mechanism for this transition from maternal to zygotic control of development (maternal...

  • New perspectives in archosaur biology

    Creator:
    Harwell, Amy E.
    Abstract:
    The respiratory and metabolic biology of dinosaurs is poorly, if at all, reflected in the fossil record. By comparing anatomical features of modern taxa that are functionally linked to specific biology with the remains of theropod dinosaurs (Archosauria: Theropoda) and early birds, we may reasonably infer the physiology of long...

  • New insights into the biology of theropod dinosaurs

    Creator:
    Quick, Devon E.
    Abstract:
    There is little, if any, direct fossil evidence of the cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive or digestive biology of dinosaurs. However, a variety of data can be used to draw reasonable inferences about the physiology of the carnivorous theropod dinosaurs (Archosauria: Theropoda). Extant archosaurs, birds and crocodilians, possess regionally differentiated, vascularized and...

  • An assay for screening cells for mismatch repair proficiency in vivo

    Creator:
    Wu, Shiau-Yin
    Abstract:
    Mismatch repair is one of the mechanisms by which cells ensure genomic stability. Deficiencies in mismatch repair (MMR) increase mutation rates and cancer risks. In the well-characterized methyl-directed Escherichia co/i system, MMR is initiated by MutS, Mut L, and MutH proteins. The single MutS protein and the single MutL protein...

  • Quantities of prostaglandins in whole and extended bovine semen and their potential effect on fertility following insemination

    Creator:
    Jaeger, John Ralph
    Abstract:
    Our objectives were to determine 1) the concentration of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) in whole and extended bovine semen, 2) if concentrations of prostaglandins in extended bovine semen are correlated to fertility, and 3) if PGF2α administered at the time of artificial insemination would improve conception rate. Concentration of PGF2α tended...

  • Theoretical physics takes root in America : John Archibald Wheeler as student and mentor

    Creator:
    Christensen, Terry M.
    Abstract:
    John Archibald Wheeler (09 July 1911- ) is a familiar name to physicists and historians of physics alike. Among his many contributions to the corpus of knowledge, in 1939 John Wheeler and Niels Bohr co-authored the first paper on the generalized mechanism of nuclear fission. Beyond that seminal work, Wheeler...

  • Evaluation of serum amyloid A and haptoglobin as prognostic indicators for horses in a referral population

    Creator:
    Westerman, Trina L.
    Abstract:
    Acute phase protein (APP) measurement can be used to characterize and rapidly detect inflammation. Serum amyloid A (SAA) and haptoglobin (HP) may be useful for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in horses presenting for colic and other inflammatory diseases. The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the use of SAA...
