'That life of commonplace sacrifices' : representations of womanhood in Irish Catholic culture in James Joyce's Dubliners

Creator:: McGrory, Suzette L.
Abstract:: Traditional interpretations of James Joyce's Dubliners have often focused on the pervasive "paralysis" of the city, covered in the stories' range of "childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life." However, these approaches have limited their focus on the women in the stories, often spotlighting the male characters--and the author--through a Freudian...

Architecture, size, and reproduction in plants : a pollination study of Mertensia ciliata (James) G. Don

Creator:: Geber, Monica
Abstract:: I experimentally test the hypothesis that the potential for selfing increases with plant size in Mertensia ciliata (Boraginaceae), a self-compatible, profusely-flowering perennial. This follows from the premises that 1) pollen dispersal by pollinators between flowers is limited, and 2) individual pollinators, in this study bumblebees, will visit more flowers per...

Abstract:: The genotype frequencies of one-year-old oyster spat (Crassostrea gigas) from parents of known genotype, are compared to the frequencies expected with Mendelian inheritance. The genotypes are characterized at three enzyme loci, Aspartate amino-transferase (AAT), Phosphohexose isomerase (PHI) and Leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), and a general protein locus. In this study expression...
