  • A Practical, Ethical Critique of Hydraulic Fracturing and the Shale Gas Extraction Process

    Creator:
    Bullock, Claude George, III
    Abstract:
    This thesis analyzes the emerging technology of hydraulic fracturing and shale gas extraction process through a pluralistic philosophical approach. Rather than defending traditional values in nature, such as intrinsic value, I defend a metaphilosophical pragmatism centered on policy implications. I argue that different philosophical positions will, most of the time,...

  • Historical disturbance regimes as a reference for forest policy

    Creator:
    Thompson, Jonathan R.
    Abstract:
    Using the historical range of forest conditions as a reference for managing landscapes has been proposed as a "coarse-filter" approach to biodiversity conservation. By emulating historical disturbance processes, it is thought that forest management can produce forest composition and structure similar to the conditions that once supported the native biota....

  • Investigating the Quality Dynamics of American Aroma Hops Intended for Dry-Hopping Beer

    Creator:
    Lafontaine, Scott R.
    Abstract:
    Historically, brewers have used dry-hopping (a cold extraction of nonvolatile and volatile chemicals from hops into fermenting or finished beer) to increase the microbial stability and shelf life of their beer. As hoppy beer styles have gained in popularity over the last decade (2007-2017), the objective of dry-hopping has turned...

  • Everyday Movement Against Capitalism : Prospects for a Prefigurative Strategy toward Open Utopia

    Creator:
    Riccio, Alexander
    Abstract:
    Across the U.S. social activism is on the upsurge, offering possibilities for a revolution against capitalism. However, these possibilities are potentially undermined by entrenched factionalism amongst the left. At root, such in-fighting is fostered by the creation of false dualistic frameworks on the transition out of capitalism and into the...
