Rational Madmen : Monomania in Hawthorne’s “The Birthmark” and Stedman’s “How Old Brown Took Harpers Ferry”

Creator:: Green, Paisley
Abstract:: In this project, I explore the use of monomania as a literary and rhetorical device that pathologizes deviance from certain norms—in this case, sexual and political norms— and allows for contradiction, dissonance, and reform. Using Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story “The Birthmark” and Edmund Clarence Stedman’s poem “How Old Brown Took...

Assessing the Impacts of Size, Structure, and Surface Chemistry on the Toxicity of Two High Production Organic Nanomaterials using the Embryonic Zebrafish Model

Creator:: Meredith, Ailcea N.
Abstract:: The low risk and sustainable implementation of nanotechnology requires understanding how nanomaterial physicochemical properties influence their toxicity. Major drivers of toxicity need to be avoided while maximizing product efficacy so nanomaterials can be produced to best serve their applications and be of low risk when intentionally or unintentionally released into...

An historical review of Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory

Creator:: Hickcox, Leslie K. (Leslie Kay), 1951-
Abstract:: The central purposes of this study were to review the historical sources of David Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory, and to determine the effect and application of Kolb's theory and Learning Style Inventory as reflected in the literature between 1971 and 1990. It was found that Kolb based his...

Assessing the toxicity of nanoplastics using the primary human bronchial epithelial model

Creator:: Germano, Francesca
Abstract:: Emerging data showing the presence of atmospheric microplastics (MPs) has recently raised awareness surrounding the potential of human nanoplastics (NPs) exposure. Due to factors such as weathering, UV exposure, and other biodegradation processes, plastic pollution in the environment breaks down over time into micro (<5 micrometers) and nanoscale (<1000nm) particles....

An in silico Approach to Determine the Influence of Surface Chemical Properties on the Toxicity of Engineered Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

Creator:: Zhou, Zitao
Abstract:: Nanotechnology products have long since made their way to markets around the world increasing the concerns about whether nanomaterials pose a risk to our environment or health. It has been suggested that engineered nanomaterial (ENM) with broad applications and rapid commercialization need better risk assessment and regulation. However, the refinement...

Genetic and physiological parameters related to body size in five strains and crosses of the domestic turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)

Creator:: Cramer, Jean
Abstract:: Five lines of turkeys with wide variation in body size, reciprocal crosses between large and small lines, and backcrosses to the large parent line were studied to determine the effect of body size and crossbreeding on growth rate, conformation, feed consumption, organ size, and other physiological traits. Selection was made...

Physiological and nutritional interrelationships of mineral elements to growth and reproduction in turkeys

Creator:: Egwuatu, Charles Obiajulu
Abstract:: Experiments involving poults were conducted with the primary objective of studying the effects of sodium chloride on field rickets. A second objective was to study the effects of mineral elements on reproduction of turkey breeder males and females. Three experiments were conducted with poults. A comparison of added dietary sodium...

Novel Approaches to Evaluate the Environmental Impacts of Nanomaterials

Creator:: Wu, Fan
Abstract:: Numerous studies have shown that some nanomaterials are highly toxic to aquatic organisms and can potentially disrupt overall community health; however, current methods to evaluate the nanomaterials environmental impacts rarely consider the environmental realism or provide sufficient detail on the impact at the community level. Here we demonstrate three approaches...

Asulam for tansy ragwort control in alfalfa : field efficacy and selectivity factors

Creator:: Harper, Delbert Ray
Abstract:: Tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea L. ) is a poisonous weed which infests alfalfa fields in western Oregon. Studies were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of asulam (methyl sulfanilylcarbamate)for control of tansy ragwort in alfalfa and to elucidate factors responsible for its selectivity. In seven replicated field trials in 1973 and...

Truth to Nature: The Art and Ecology of Hudson River School Painting

Creator:: Loeb, Harper
Abstract:: Beginning with the inception of American art history as a formal discipline in the 1940s, the dominant mode of interpreting nineteenth-century American landscape painting has been to view aspects of the landscape as symbols for grand cultural, religious, national, and moral narratives. While this method of interpretation highlights some key...
