Title: Mario Vargas Llosa and The Feast of the Goat: Heteroglossic Trauma.
Creator: Carreño Cabrejos, Pablo Francisco José
Abstract/Description: Rafael Leónidas Trujillo (1891-1961), the ruthless Dominican Republic ruler dominated his island’s politics for over thirty years. In his acclaimed 2000 novel, The Feast of the Goat, Nobel laureate, Mario Vargas Llosa, a Peruvian who has written about Latin American dictators, creates Urania Cabral, a 49-year-old émigrée who at 14 left her nation after becoming Trujillo’s sexual victim.

Show moreRafael Leónidas Trujillo (1891-1961), the ruthless Dominican Republic ruler dominated his island’s politics for over thirty years. In his acclaimed 2000 novel, The Feast of the Goat, Nobel laureate, Mario Vargas Llosa, a Peruvian who has written about Latin American dictators, creates Urania Cabral, a 49-year-old émigrée who at 14 left her nation after becoming Trujillo’s sexual victim. The novel, told from many perspectives, focuses on her return, the dictator’s last day, and the story of the four conspirators waiting to ambush the presidential bullet-proof car on that fateful night of May 30th 1961. My study analyzes the complex narrative structures (Bakhtin’s heteroglossia) of the novel as masterful “rupturing” techniques. Through these, the reader pieces together the broken body politic of a traumatized nation as Urania reconstructs in painful detail how the impotent dictator digitally rapes her to ensure her body bears the mark of his brutal anger and frustration.

Title: Correlation of Chloride Diffusivity and Electrical Resistance for Cracked Concrete.
Creator: Merantus, Stanley W., Reddy, Dronnadula V., College of Engineering and Computer Science
Abstract/Description: The Durability of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures in the Marine environment is causing increasingly serious concern in the structural infrastructures. RC structures, exposed to aggressive environments, are expected to last with little or no maintenance for long periods of time. However, one of the most serious environmental exposures that cause degradation is Chloride Diffusion, with tide-simulated wet and dry conditions at the air-water interface.

Show moreThe Durability of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures in the Marine environment is causing increasingly serious concern in the structural infrastructures. RC structures, exposed to aggressive environments, are expected to last with little or no maintenance for long periods of time. However, one of the most serious environmental exposures that cause degradation is Chloride Diffusion, with tide-simulated wet and dry conditions at the air-water interface. This investigation, jointly project with Cemex (a cement mixing company), will address the change of chloride diffusion current resistivity due to macro and micro cracking, which is inevitable in all concrete structures. The correlation of Chloride Diffusivity with Electrical Current Resistivity of Sound and Cracked Concrete is studied experimentally, and the results compared with Analytically Determined values. The principal benefit of the research is the formulation of models to predict time-dependent Chloride Penetration into Sound and Cracked Concrete in the Marine environment.

Show moreThe purpose of this research is to propose a potential solution to the continuous problem of environmental degradation. One of the primary concerns about environmental salvation centers around the balance between economic growth and environmental protection, a delicate balance that is dictated by the public, in favor of the economy. This balance often does not allow for the advancement of one without the hindrance of the other. Ideally, this research would identify and suggest a feasible compromise that would be acceptable to environmentalists and economic businesses alike that particularly emphasizes the relationship between renewable and nonrenewable energy sources and explores how simultaneous development of both fields would be possible in order to satisfy each opposing side. This solution would see the Department of Interior take charge in a leasing plan that would give additional access to oil while also requiring renewable energy growth, addressing both environmental degradation and economics together.

Now as the health information technology (Health IT) environment becomes an even more integral part in the field of medicine, it is vital that HIPAA’s privacy protection is applied to the handling of patient’s information by medical devices. These devices not only perform their intended medical functionality, but they also perform other functionalities that can be affected by security threats. As a result, HIPAA’s privacy guidelines need to be enforced by appropriate security mechanisms within these medical devices. Security mechanisms can be described by software patterns. A few of these patterns will be discussed, showing how they can handle such threats. We will survey existing patterns and identify which other patterns would be necessary.

The water cone is a polymeric cone that sits overtop a dish of saline water. The water is evaporated by the sun and condenses back onto the surface of the cone creating fresh water. In an attempt to improve the cone’s water production, two different hydrophobic coatings are applied to the inside of two cones, which allow water droplets to flow at a much faster rate, collecting water more quickly. Two water cones are coated separately, and are exposed to sunlight for five days. Water collection for the coated portion of the cone is compared to the uncoated portion of the cone. Results after a first trial show that coating A on the water cone impedes water collection whereas coating B appears to increase water collection.

Show moreThe canal system of South Florida has become a new distributive focus for the invasive Lionfish (Pterois volitans). Lionfish are considered a pest here, having up to 18 venomous spines that can inflict pain if stepped on or handled. These fish also eat a variety of juvenile species affecting the commercial and recreational fishing industry. The canal system in south Florida is also a center for recreational activities. Water land cover information will aid in species removal by offering species information to areas with a high percent of water land cover and who are more likely to come into contact with Lionfish. This research, comparing classification techniques to map water land cover, is the first step to mitigate the stronghold the lionfish have in South Florida. Once mapped, species information can then be distributed to residents that have close proximity to danger zones.

A rotating platform supporting a beaker was controlled through a power supply. The power supply was adjusted and the dispersion patterns of the creamer were observed at 2, 4, and 6 volts. When added directly, at 2 and 6 volts, the coffee creamer displayed a pattern of swirling around the vertical axis with some dispersion radially towards the bottom of the beaker. At 4 volts bands were formed, which was likely the result of experimenter error. After the vegetable oil was added, the coffee creamer again displayed as swirls after crossing the oil but was not as distinct as when applied directly.

Rather than use traditional, time-consuming methods that were highly prone to error, such as the use of radioactive riboprobes, we used recent advancements in the development of rapid in-situ hybridization to our advantage. The use of rapid in-situ hybridization (such as the RNAscope assay) has allowed us to use paraformaldehyde prefixed brain tissue sections, which are more widely available and easier to use, instead of fresh frozen tissue. Here we describe the results from the use of the RNAscope assay to measure the amount of dapB (a bacterial gene), ppiB (a eukaryotic housekeeping gene), and htr2a (a eukaryotic gene coding for 5-HT2A receptors) mRNA.

To this end, a reservoir supplying constant head and near-hydrostatic conditions was equipped with an exit fitting in its lower section. A section of PVC tubing extended vertically downward from this exit point and was straddled by a pair of dynamic loudspeakers placed opposite each other and connected to a receiver's inputs so as to play a signal of specified frequency. The resulting turbulent jet flow was then allowed to drop to a horizontal plate of circular shape. The outer lip of the plate triggered a circular hydraulic jump whose location was found to be directly dependent on the frequency of the forces exciting the flow.
