A Study of the Development and Potential for Ballet Costume Design Beginning in the Twentieth Century
(2011-08-08)
Beginning with the twentieth century, ballet costume design experienced a major shift. The tutu and rigid formwork of classical ballet made way for vanguard experimentation. From world of art to symbolism then futurism, ...
Mixed Hydrologic Recovery of a Degraded Mesquite Rangeland
(2011-08-08)
Land degradation and anthropogenic change is widespread on rangelands in Texas. Over the last 150 years, noticeable change has occurred as a direct result of agricultural practices and human activity. As novel ecosystems ...
Detection of Explosives Using a Micro-cantilever Array Nano-Calorimeter System
(2011-08-08)
Over the past few decades, the likeliness of an attack from explosives has increased dramatically. Hence, the need to find a reliable device with the ability to detect
explosives has increased even more. Sensing schemes ...
Synthetic Strategies Toward Tetrahydrofurans Involving Double Diastereoselective Nucleophile-Promoted Aldol-Lactonizations and Subsequent Applications to Bioactive Natural Products
(2011-08-08)
Novel synthetic strategies towards the formation of tetrahydrofurans and their
subsequent application to bioactive natural products have been explored. More
specifically, a method for invoking double-diastereoselectivity ...
Static, cylindrical symmetry in general relativity and vacuum energy
(2011-08-08)
In the first section of my research, in analogy with the standard derivation of the spherically symmetric Schwarzschild solution of the Einstein field equations, I find all static, cylindrically symmetric solutions of the ...
Grain-size distributions of tsunami sediments
(2011-08-08)
Tsunami deposits indicate that suspended load transport is the main mechanism of movement throughout a tsunami event. Recent studies have touched on whether bed load transport
is also occurring, but not seen in deposits ...
Implementation of a Signal Processor with Intelligibility for Hearing Aid Devices
(2011-08-08)
Hearing loss victims suffer from loss of hearing at specific bands of the frequency spectrum. We designed a programmable filter that can compensate for hearing losses at different frequency bands. We design the circuit ...
Preparation of Carbon Nanotube-Composite
(2011-08-08)
A composite is made up of two distinct materials and the resulted properties are different from the individual precursors. Composite combines a huge or bulkier element called matrix and reinforcement called filler or fiber. ...
Privilege as a Function of Profit: Network Neutrality and the Digital Public Sphere
(2011-08-08)
This paper seeks to evaluate the role that Network Neutrality policies play in terms of access to knowledge in the public sphere, as well as the role that approaches to
distributive justice might play in offering justification ...
A Novel Approach: Religious Epistemology in Marilynne Robinson's Gilead
(2011-08-08)
Marilynne Robinson's Pulitzer prize-winning novel Gilead is preoccupied with religious
epistemology. Protagonist John Ames, an aging and ill Congregationalist preacher in
1950s small town Iowa, maintains his Christian ...
