Steady state solutions to the Boltzmann transport equation were obtained for the transport of neutrinos across a finite, plane parallel slab using discrete ordinate methods. Semi-analytic solutions were obtained in the case of isoenergetic, isotropic scattering for one energy group and in the restricted case of isoenergetic and nonisoenergetic (Compton), isotropic scattering between two energy groups where the isoenergetic and the Compton scattering rates are the same for the two groups.

Show moreSteady state solutions to the Boltzmann transport equation were obtained for the transport of neutrinos across a finite, plane parallel slab using discrete ordinate methods. Semi-analytic solutions were obtained in the case of isoenergetic, isotropic scattering for one energy group and in the restricted case of isoenergetic and nonisoenergetic (Compton), isotropic scattering between two energy groups where the isoenergetic and the Compton scattering rates are the same for the two groups. For these two cases solutions were obtained for total optical thicknesses of 0.2, 2, and 20. When the Compton scattering rates of the two energy groups are allowed to be different, the transport equation becomes nonlinear due to the exclusion principle. For this case a numerical scheme was developed which yielded solutions for slabs having optical thicknesses up to unity.

Show moreBy the nineteenth century, ships and sailors were firmly entrenched as symbols of American progress and nationalism; however, the development of the Great Lakes maritime world challenged the meaning of “maritime” and the cultural symbolism of the American sailor. A growing anxiety that the influence and power of New England traditions would diminish as the nation moved westward resulted in a shared discourse between religious reformers and influential leaders of Cleveland, Ohio. Their language ascribed the symbolism of Jack Tar as essential for maintaining cultural hegemony. This thesis examines how this power struggle transpired at the intersection of race, class and geopolitical rivalry, altering the depiction of Jack Tar to Steamboat Jack.

Show moreField and laboratory ambient and simulated deep seawater sacrificial anode cathodic protection experiments were performed by coupling steel specimens to Al-Zn-Hg anode through an appropriately sized external resistor and thereby permitting a particular level of cathodic protection from freely corroding to overprotection to be simulated. The effects of sea current velocity, surface preparation, initial current density, temperature and hydrostatic pressure upon cathodic polarization and characteristics of calcareous deposits were investigated in the context of slope parameter and steady-state potential and current density trend. The results revealed that a linear relationship between cathode potential and current density is applicable for design of sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems and analysis of cathodic protection survey data from existing structures both in shallow and deep waters. It was also found that for cathodically polarized steel specimens in ambient (shallow) seawater steady-state cathode potential and current density varied according to a sigmoidal trend that indicates the importance of calcareous deposits in such exposures and demonstrated the utility of rapid polarization. On the other hand, no sigmoidal trend was apparent for field and simulated deep water tests; but instead steady-state current density was constant for potential range between -0.80 and -1.05 v (Ag/AgCl). This disclosed that no particular benefit could be derived from employing rapid polarization in cold water exposures. SEM, EDX and X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the calcareous deposits formed upon specimens exposed at 5C and ambient pressure or 8.96 MPa laboratory experiments exhibited two layer structures--an outer layer of CaCO3 as aragonite and inner layer of Mg(OH)2 as brucite. The morphology and coverage of the deposits depended on the design slope parameter (initial current density). Field testing results indicated that deposits were also composed of CaCO3 and Mg(OH)2 where the former was calcite. Because of the poor coverage of the deposits formed in the deep water condition, limited current density reduction was noted. These results suggest that a different cp design approach and strategy should be considered for deep, cold seawater compared to that commonly used in shallow water environments.

Stefan George, one of the few literary self-translators, rendered two of his original English and three of his original French poems into German. These self-translations may serve as case studies for the problem of "equivalence" in literary as well as linguistic and cultural terms.

Show moreStefan George, one of the few literary self-translators, rendered two of his original English and three of his original French poems into German. These self-translations may serve as case studies for the problem of "equivalence" in literary as well as linguistic and cultural terms. Recent translation theories (e.g. Rose, Pym, Fitch) problematize the overlap or the interliminal space between languages, cultures, literary traditions, and texts. Rather than binary-based source-target models, recent theory helps elucidate equivalence in George. Indeed only a self-translation can reveal how the many micro-adjustments made in linguistic and literary succeed in rendering the semantic content of the original and in comparison establish a perfect functional and stylistic correspondence with comparable effects in the two languages. Thus, such expressions as his "own language," or his "own culture," traditionally used by his critics to refer solely to German, are inappropriate to George's oeuvre.

Show moreBackground/Aim. The use of peripheral blood as a source of hematopoietic stem cells (SCs) is progressively increasing and has nearly supplanted bone marrow transplantation. Interpatient variability in the degree and kinetics of SC mobilization into peripheral blood is an expected event after conventional chemotherapy–based treatment, followed by sequential administration of recombinant granulocyte–colony– stimulating factor (rHu–CSF). In this study, specific factors associated with the application of two different SC–harvesting approaches, including the use of large volume leukapheresis (LVL) vs. repetitive conventional apheresis (RCA), were analyzed. The basic goal of the study was to evaluate the influence of apheresis protocol (collection timing, processed blood volume and cell yield) upon the clinical outcome of transplantation. Methods. Results obtained by LVL (76 pts) and RCA (20 pts – control group) were compared. The SC mobilizing regimen used was cyclophosphamide (4–7 g/m^2) or polychemotherapy and rHuG–CSF 10–16 μg/kg of body mess (bm) per day. Cell harvesting was performed using COBE-Spectra (Caridian–BCT, USA). The volume of processed blood in LVL setting was ≥ 3.5 – fold of the patient's circulating blood quantity (ranged from 12.7 to 37.8 l). All patients tolerated well the use of intensive treatment, without any side or adverse effects. Our original controlled–rate cryopreservation was carried out with 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) using Planer R203/200R or Planer 560–16 equipments (Planer Products Ltd, UK). Total nucleated cell (NC) and mononuclear cell (MNC) counts were examined by flow cytometry (Advia–2120 Bayer, Germany; Technicon H–3 System, USA). The CD34+ cell surface antigen was investigated by the EPICS XL–MCL device (Coulter, Germany). Results. Performing LVL–apheresis, high–level MNC and CD34+ cell yields (7.6±4.6 × 10^8/kg bm and 11.8±6.5 × 10^6/kg bm, respectively) were obtained. As a result, rapid hematopoietic reconstitution ("graft–healing") – on the 9.4th and 12.4th day for granulocytes and platelets, respectively was achieved. Using repetitive conventional apheresis (2–3 procedures), the total MNC count was high (8.2±7.0 × 10^8/kg bm), but the total CD34+ yield was lower 10.8±9.9 due to inferior CD34+ vs. MNC ratio. Conclusion. The results obtained suggest that well–timed LVL–apheresis increased SC–yield in cell harvest, resulting in faster bone marrow repopulation and hematological reconstitution, as well as better overall clinical outcome of transplantation. These results necessitate additional examinations of CD34+ subsets ratio in cell harvest.

Show morePortable UHF transceivers typically require minimal current drain frequency converters to multiply the frequencies generated by crystal controlled oscillators up to the UHF band. The step recovery diode (SRD) provides an approach to frequency multiplication that requires no d.c. bias and hence minimizes battery drain. This thesis compares the SRD to the more conventional varactor and analyzes SRD device physics and characteristics. SRD operation is explained in terms of the conduction and depletion intervals. The rapid transition from the conduction to the depletion mode allows the SRD to generate high order harmonics of the input frequency. A step-by-step design procedure for a series mode frequency multiplier is presented and empirical observations are used to help explain multiplier operation. The jump phenomena and hysteresis effects previously unexplained in relation to SRD multipliers are explored. Finally, it is shown that the SRD can function as a parametric amplifier.

Show moreStructural hierarchies are deeply embedded in institutions such as our educational system. It can be argued that this type of model reinforces an aggressive worldview and fosters an atmosphere of violence. Teaching students to communicate compassionately should promote empathy, discourage verbal aggression and reinforce a more peaceful worldview. To accomplish this, educators need a means of replacing hegemony that assumes hierarchy and aggressive conflict are inevitable. Marshall Rosenberg's (2001) Nonviolent Communication (NVC) may provide educators with an appropriate tool. Rosenberg's model counters the prevailing hegemony making it an ideal candidate to explore in relation to these issues. This paper examines the impact of adding an NVC workshop to two types of communication courses and whether Rosenberg's model would be a useful addition to a college curriculum.

Show moreStepparents commit filicide more often than do genetic parents. In 1994, using Canadian and British national databases, Daly and Wilson provided evidence that there are motivational differences that may affect the methods by which stepparents and genetic parents kill their children, and that stepfathers were more likely than genetic fathers to commit filicide by methods of beating and bludgeoning, revealing greater resentment and bitterness toward their charges. Genetic fathers were more likely to kill their children by asphyxiation or shooting, perhaps to ensure a less painful and quicker death. In 2004, Weekes-Shackelford and Shackelford, using a United States national database, replicated the findings of Daly and Wilson (1994) for stepfathers and genetic fathers. I sought to replicate the findings of Daly and Wilson (1994), and WeekesShackelford and Shackelford (2004) using a United States county-level database for Broward County, Florida that included case-level information for 89 filicides. Prediction 1, that the percentage of filicides committed by beating or bludgeoning would be greater for stepparents than for genetic parents, was supported. Prediction 2, that the percentage of filicides committed by beating or bludgeoning would be greater for stepfathers than for genetic fathers, was in the predicted direction but was not significant. Discussion addresses step parental psychology in view of the current research, the limitations of the current study, and future research directions for this topic.
