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...
Smoking patterns were described and compared retrospectively for 5395 participants in the Lung Health Study at 12 and 24 months. 3592 participants were assigned to a special intervention (SI) group that received a counseling assisted smoking cessation intervention that included nicotine gum and 1803 participants were assigned to a usual...
From almost 7000 near-surface eddy-covariance flux measurements over the sea, the authors deduce a new air–sea drag relation for aerodynamically rough flow: u* = 0.0583Uₙ₁₀ 2 0.243. Here u* is the measured friction velocity, and Uₙ₁₀ is the neutral-stability wind speed at a reference height of 10 m. This relation...
Rooted in the writer's general concern with the teaching and
evaluation of writing, this study attempts to determine whether
verbally creative teachers are better able to identify verbally creative
students than are less verbally creative teachers. A second aim was
to determine whether the verbal creativity of the teacher is...
National statistics indicate that over ten thousand persons
each year become disabled from spinal cord-injury. The need for
research in this area is evident.
The objectives of this study were:
1. To determine any relationship between selected attitudes
and activity levels with self-concept;
2. To identify certain demographic variables that...
North America, with over 400 species of Astragalus (Fabaceae), is one of three major centers of diversity, all of which comprise the majority of the nearly 1750 species of Astragalus worldwide. One of the most diverse species, Astragalus lentiginosus of Section Diphysi, is a polymorphic complex of over 40 varieties,...
Recently several minimal perfect hashing functions far small static word sets have been developed. However, they are limited to sets of 50 words or less. In this paper, a Two Level Minimal Perfect Hash Function for large data sets is given. It partitions a large static set into small sets...
A. W. N. Pugin was a driving force in the Gothic Revival movement in England during the first half of the nineteenth century. He was an architect and a writer who expounded on the virtues of reviving Gothic architecture, not only for its reflection of the sacred mystery of ancient...
Studies were carried out to determine the absolute stereochemistry of
botryococcene (1). The natural product was degraded to two sets of 'y- and 8-
valerolactones. All enantiomeric variations of these lactones were synthesized in
optically pure form starting from (S)- and (R)-methyloxiranes. 1H NMR correlation of
natural and synthetic materials...
