This research examines the literary and philosophical dimensions of the African American Harlem Renaissance, beginning with the historical milieu of the early twentieth century. A social movement that became known as Uplift and the so-called Cabaret Movement emerged as important, competing literary and social ideologies within the Renaissance. W.E.B. Du...
This work is a representation of my competencies, experiences, reflections and learning through
the College Student Services Administration Master’s of Education program at Oregon State
University. This paper consists of both research and reflective writing and demonstrates in-depth
my learning and development over the past two years in the College...
This is a review paper of current literature in the area of
pressure effects on gaseous lasers.
This thesis discusses the mechanisms which relate the relative
power output of the 6328 A[superscript ⁰] neon transition to total and partial pressure
variations of the helium-neon gaseous laser. The operation of
the...
This is a review paper based on recent literature in the areas
of spherical mirror resonators and optical mode selection. The
Fabry-Perot interferometer with spherical mirrors has been widely
used as a laser resonator. The modes of oscillation, diffraction
losses and resonance condition are determined for the confocal
resonator, i.e....
The synchronous machine is an essential component of a power
system and determination of its parameters accurately is an
important task in securing adequate modes of operation through
certain control strategies. An estimation technique based on the
Powell algorithm was evaluated for the identification of these
parameters on the basis...
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...
It is generally accepted in stream ecology that habitat heterogeneity and patchiness at multiple scales increases ecosystem resilience through niche diversification. Heterogeneous stream habitats include a complex mosaic of hydraulic features, large woody debris, anabranches, substrata and channel forms - this complexity tends to increase as streams progress towards later...
