Abstract:
Religious life in the later middle ages was increasingly dominated by the mendicant Orders, notably the Franciscans. Their dominance also extended to the artistic life of the day. The initial artistic campaigns of the Franciscans centred on the native province of the founder, most notably in the Upper and Lower churches of S. Francesco in Assisi. With the expansion of the Order and the death and canonization of the second Franciscan saint, Anthony of Padua, his adopted province, the Veneto, became an important centre for theological and artistic activity.

Paracoccus denitrificans is a facultative anaerobic Gram-negative α- proteobacterium able to shift to denitrification under anaerobic conditions (John & Whatley, 1978; Zumft, 1997).

The hypotheses underlying this study are: - Metabolic flexibility is maintained in situ by environmental heterogeneity and, specifically: - Under constant environmental conditions the metabolic fle

This dissertation addresses two topics. The first is a preliminary investigation into the listening strategies for electroacoustic music by François Delalande. A listening experiment was undertaken to test Delalande’s strategies and to learn from listeners’ responses in order to apply them to compositional practice. This process prompted the conception of a new, integrated reception behaviour framework for electroacoustic music that comprises four listening strategies: sonic properties, structural attributes, self-orientation, and imaginary realms.

The interaction between light and matter is usually modeled by approximating the material under study as a continuum. The magnitude of the material's polarization in the presence of an electric field is dependent on the atomic response via the well-known Lorentz-Lorentz relation.

Abstract:
The possible effects of pipe materials on drinking water quality have been analyzed in the distribution system of the water treatment plant of "La La Concepciónâ " in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. "La La Concepciónâ " is a surface water reservoir experiencing biogeochemical cycling of manganese. Black water problems have been reported in the distribution system since 1998. An evaluation of the potential influence that PVC and iron pipes could have on the concentration of iron and manganese in drinking water, the effects caused by the presence of manganese in PVC and iron pipe surfaces, and residu

Abstract:
Triclosan is a widely used antibacterial agent found in many personal hygiene products. While it has been established that pure triclosan and free chlorine readily react, interactions between triclosan-containing products and free chlorine have not previously been analyzed. Sixteen double-blinded solutions including both triclosan-containing (1.14-3.12 mg triclosan/g product) and triclosan-free products were contacted with free chlorine. Products detected included (chlorophenoxy)phenols, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, and chloroform. The daughter product yields were found to b

Abstract:
Due to the rapid nature of microwave heating, the microbiological safety of foods prepared in the microwave has been in question for several years. Because foods are heated from the inside out and are strictly governed by their own internal properties such as ionic content, moisture level and specific heat, work must be done to further master control of such properties so microwave cooking can be more predictable, controlled and ensure control pathogens. <paragraph> This study concentrated on the effect of fat content, evaporative cooling and food type on the rate of food borne pathogen survi

Abstract:
Monitored natural attenuation (MNA) has been widely used as a remedial strategy, acknowledged by the EPA as the most appropriate technology for cost effective remediation under certain site conditions. Despite the widespread use of MNA, empirical methods are lacking to evaluate the sustainability of MNA at a site. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the natural attenuation capacity (NAC) as a quantitative metric for evaluating the sustainability of MNA for contaminants in groundwater systems. <p> Five DoD sites were selected for this study, where the common thread between the s

Abstract:
Anion exchange methods were used to measure the percent of weakly bound and strongly bound copper in estuarine waters and agricultural drainage. Copper bound to an ion exchange resin has been operationally defined as bioavailable copper, or copper that is available for uptake by aquatic organisms. <p> Initial laboratory testing indicated that the percent of copper bound to the resin did not differ between a freshwater solution (pH 6.5 buffered with 30 mg/L as calcium carbonate) and a saline solution (25 ppth salinity at pH 8).

Abstract:
This thesis presents the foundation of a computer program for the unified design of spatial mechanisms. The program will be capable of synthesizing any mechanism that can be described using an equivalent chain containing only revolute and prismatic joints. The supporting analysis routine will be general and will be able to analyze any lower pair mechanism using the iterative approach developed by Sheth and Uicker [1972]. Unlike precision point synthesis methods that allow only a limited number of positions to be specified, optimization will be employed to synthesize a wide variety of mechan

Abstract:
Vehicle suspensions have been a major focus of research and design since the introduction of the automobile. The two major characteristics that define the performance of a specific suspension design are the vehicle ride and handling. A simplified view of chassis development is that a desirable vehicle ride is provided by a "soft" suspension, and desirable vehicle handling is provided by "stiff" suspensions, it is impossible to simultaneously maximize both vehicle ride and handling in a passive suspension design. However, with the introduction of active components, such as actuators and semi

Abstract:
Decision-making during crises is an important task that many elected officials face during their time in office. This thesis seeks to identify principles that make up a sound policy decision-making process and may lead to more positive outcomes. The analysis here is a comparative case study of three national security crises that faced the John F. Kennedy administration: the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Vietnam conflict. Each case is examined for the presence of indicators of groupthink. I hypothesize that the relative absence of groupthink is related to a positive outcome
