  • E+A galaxy and spiral E+A galaxy candidates in the Hercules supercluster

    Creator:
    Williams, Rosemary H.
    Abstract:
    E+A galaxies represent an important niche in galaxy evolution as a subset of post-starburst galaxies. Set apart from other post-starburst galaxies by their rapid quenching of star formation, E+As are thought to have started their formation outside a galaxy cluster's center and have fallen inward due to gravity; the star...

  • Under the Shadow of this Red Rock: Reading T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land for its Places, Persons, and Poetics

    Creator:
    Summers, Stephen James
    Abstract:
    Thomas Stearns Eliot’s 1922 modernist poem The Waste Land presents itself as an alternative to the decaying society Eliot found himself inhabiting.

  • Gender-Dependent Mechanisms of Alpha-Tocopherol Protection from Benzo[a]pyrene Exposure in Rats

    Creator:
    Crimp, Caitlin A.
    Abstract:
    Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), are environmental pollutants linked to increased disease susceptibilities. Alpha-Tocopherol (αT) supplementation decreases B[a]P-DNA adducts in smokers, particularly women; but the mechanism is unknown. To test the hypothesis that αT protection from B[a]P exposure is gender-dependent, male and female rats received 7 daily subcutaneous...
