Progress in the development of color CRT's and color
graphic hard-copy devices offers a new tool for the thematic mapper.
From a cartographic perspective, the technology for displaying and
producing color maps has advanced without concern for cartographic
principles and conventions in the employment of color. Since it is
necessary...
Slow magnetosonic shock fronts are unstable to changes made to their shape, a phenomenon known as corrugation instability. The computational models studied considers a system where plasma travels across a shock front. Using the code Linogen, the corrugation instability of a shock front can be theoretically modeled. The results show...
In recent years, Oblivious Random Access Memory (ORAM) controllers in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) have become a popular area of investigation, as coresident trusted systems allow for significantly more efficient oblivious execution. Further, in the case of Intel architectures, oblivious execution effectively eliminates the majority of confidentiality leakage holes in...
This thesis is a study of Herman Melville’s symbolism. I have chosen to investigate the elemental images of water, fire, and stone in Moby-Dick (1851), Pierre; Or, The Ambiguities (1852), and Clarel; A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land (1876). This work is a semiotic study, insofar as the...
The heroine of this fantasy novel is Alina who lives in a medieval-like time and place. The day before her 20th birthday, in an impetuous moment, she breaks a local superstition by standing in a sunbeam. This allows a fairy to kidnap her and take her to the fairy castle...
The production of the fullerene C60 and its emerging applications in consumer
products imply its ultimate release to the environment. Due to the molecule’s relative
novelty, the aqueous characteristics of C60 have not been fully assessed, though it may
potentially harm human or ecological health. C60 is highly insoluble in...
This thesis is an illustrated look at my own everyday experiences with depression. By exposing the personal aspects of the symptoms, I hope to help contribute to society’s understanding of depression as a whole. Art in particular provides us an avenue unlike any other to express ourselves, and doing so...
The current debate over the possibility of visual argument is rooted in the idea that, to many, argument is strictly a verbal art of communication in which visual images do not apply. Others note a significant value that images have on argumentation and suggest that denying the scope of argument...
