This thesis discusses one manuscript of Richard Rolle, the Hermit of Hampole. It asserts that Rolle’s Prose Psalter was compiled specifically for a woman’s private devotion and thus sheds light on both the authors and the ...
A self-consistent study of Rh(001) has been performed using the surface embedded Green function method. Calculations have been performed by embedding a three-layer slab onto a bulk rhodium substrate. The calculated work ...
Results from the 1999-2001 La Ristra array revealed a fast seismic velocity anomaly beneath the Rio Grande rift, attributed to a lithospheric “drip” into the mantle, perhaps due to edge-driven convection. To investigate ...
Focal mechanism solutions from 29 M≥3 earthquakes recorded between 1966 and late 2009 in the Tahoe-Truckee area, California and Nevada, were used to establish a preliminary spatial correlation between these earthquakes and ...
The Santa Monica Mountains are a young, structurally active mountain range within southern California. The purpose of this study was to map seismogenic faults within the Malibu Beach quadrangle. Using available earthquake ...
Advances in microarray technology have equipped researchers to measure gene expression levels simultaneously from thousands of genes, yielding increasingly large and complex data sets. However, due to the cost and time ...
This dissertation consists of three selected topics in statistical discriminant analysis: dimension reduction, regularization methods, and imputation methods. In Chapter 2 we first derive a new linear dimension-reduction ...
Aptamers are oligonucleotides that bind with great specificity and affinity to a target molecule. These oligonucleotides are produced through the course of Systemic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX). ...
The self-employed represent about ten percent of the American workforce.
Challenges to a fuller understanding of self-employment in the United States include the
ability to generalize the results of research studies. ...
The purpose of this investigation was to determine what intensity novice female individuals would choose when allowed to self-select intensity when beginning a strength training program, the influence of efficacy beliefs ...
In 1981 Coleman and Kay asserted a semantic prototype to define the English word lie. Hardin (2010) and Cole (1996) both replicated Coleman and Kay’s analysis in Ecuador and Saudi Arabia respectively and analyzed whether ...
We investigated distribution free methods for testing covariate adjusted treatment
effects. Dodd and Pepe (2003) proposed a semiparametric logistic regression model for the area under the ROC curve (AUC). Their model ...
Introduction. Incidence of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer is increasing worldwide. Melanoma is the sixth most common cancer in the United States, making skin cancer a significant public health issue.
Background ...
Does a limited government limit neighbor-love? Through their writings, C. S. Lewis and Søren Kierkegaard have inspired many individuals to “love thy neighbor,” yet these authors do not call for government to fulfill the ...
The Doe Creek Member of the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) Kaskapau Formation is located in northwestern Alberta. Valhalla Field was discovered in 1979 and is the major producer of hydrocarbons from the Doe Creek Member. ...
Sturgeon Lake South (SLS) is an isolated Devonian (Late Frasnian) platform located within the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB). Stratigraphic correlation of the Leduc Formation across the WCSB reveals a dominantly ...
Mark Twain’s Christian Science, his last major published work, is rarely read or examined within Twain scholarship. The book is generally considered to be weak, hastily written, and overly passionate, which has left it ...
The shadow algorithm is an event-driven unit-delay simulation technique that has been designed to take advantage of the instruction caches present in many of the latest workstations. The algorithm is based on the threaded-code ...
This is the software described in the technical report “The Shadow Algorithm: …” available from this archive. This package is part of the FHDL system and must be installed in your FHDL directory.
This thesis argues that while patriarchy was certainly present in England during the late medieval period, women of the middle and upper classes were able to exercise agency to a certain degree through using both the ...
