Abstract:

The creative work of this study is a novel-length work of literary fiction called Keeping House (published as Grace's Table, by University of Queensland Press, April 2014). Grace has not had twelve people at her table for a long time. Hers isn't the kind of family who share regular Sunday meals. As Grace prepares the feast, she reflects on her life, her marriage and her friendships. When the three generations of her family come together, simmering tensions from the past threaten to boil over. The one thing that no one can talk about is the one thing that no one can forget.

Abstract:

This study explores the stages of the hero’s journey in Ella by Laura Danielle Laughlin MacDonald using Joseph Campbell’s monomyth theory as well as the role of gender using Judith Butler’s theories on gender and gender performance. The study seeks to determine whether or not a female hero performing predominantly feminine gender roles can successfully complete the stages of a traditionally male-oriented hero’s journey. A literary analysis of Ella proves that the predominantly feminine gender performance of the hero, Ella, in no way interferes with her success as a hero proving that the tradit

Draxler, Bridget. "Novel spectators: spectatorship in the eighteenth-century novel." Diss., University of Iowa, 2011. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/2480.

Abstract:

Tom Jones is a typical eighteenth-century hero: he is beaten, bullied, seduced, betrayed, and banished by numerous other characters in the narrative. He performs very little action himself, and that rather unsuccessfully. In one escapade in Book XIII, the hero overwhelmed by London society and ignored by his hosts, Fielding writes that "Poor Jones was rather a Spectator of this elegant scene, than an actor in it" (Tom Jones 451). Tom Jones is a bystander in his own story. The same might be said of protagonists like Samuel Richardson's

Abstract:

This thesis consists of a creative component, a novel, Death’s laughter and an exegetical essay, Crafting a novel. The novel centres on a true Nigerian story: a Pentecostal pastor, who died in a plane crash, was a government official found out to have amassed large sums of money and assets that were far greater than could be accrued from his modest salary. In addition, he was accused of bigamy because he had two wives who did not know each other in two different cities within the country. This basic story serves as the nucleus of the novel.

Abstract:

Scholars argue that Coetzee’s novels critique and disavow the origins and legacy of the novel tradition and its influence on the contemporary novel. They also claim that J.M. Coetzee’s novels herald in the demise of the contemporary novel. These interpretations are motivated by the political readings of postcolonialism and postmodernism. The premise of this dissertation is to depart from those postcolonial and postmodern approaches and offer close readings of Coetzee’s novels through the origins and legacy of the early eighteenth-and nineteenth century novel.

This PhD thesis is focused on the development of novel carbon(II) and carbon(0) catalysis for organic synthesis. More specifically, the major objective has been to explore and design non-toxic and effective catalysts based on: an unusual Bertrand carbene type, a so-called bis(dialkylamino)cyclopropenylidene (BAC), and the carbodicarbene (CDC) framework; the central carbon atom in these molecules is in the formal low-oxidation state ‘+II’ and ‘0’, respectively. These species may be used in base catalysis or as ligands in metal catalysis, and in the context of frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) or dual

Abstract:

Malaria remains a major global health problem causing >600,000 deaths annually [1]. Efforts to control malaria are hampered by parasite drug resistance, insecticide resistance in mosquitoes, and the lack of an effective vaccine. In the last decade only one new chemotype, the spiroindolones, has progressed to clinical trials for malaria treatment [2, 3]. To address this significant problem the identification and development of new antimalarial agents is a priority. Part of this process includes ensuring that sufficient drug leads are available to prime the drug discovery pipeline, particularly

For example, the magneto-optical nonlinear Faraday effect can be used to characterize various electric and magnetic polarizability parameters of an individual molecule. Another major application is detection of desired particles in a highly scattering environment, the physical effect of which has been extensively researched, and is being overcome by using time-gated and polarization techniques.

In the parallel story, in 1924, Oliver Nathan Blackburn, a pulp writer, in the midst of a breakdown writes a story that may play a role in Beth’s death. VISITATIONS presents Alan and Oliver’s perspectives in third person narration, so that the reader is both close to and may question the subjectivity of their perceptions. T

For example, perfluoro-3,4-dimethylhex-3-ene (105) can be reduced to perfluoro-3,4- dimethylhex-2,4-diene (106). Remarkably, these reductions have also been performed, with equal success, using an electron rich amine, tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethene (107), which avoids the difficult, and potentially hazardous, use of amalgams.

The potential applications of which can be found ranging from generating photo-realistic images, the creation of virtual environments, to modelling real three dimensional scenes.

The work in this thesis is primarily concerned with novel methods of analysing the BOLD signal, in particular to give new measures of FC. A particular problem with typical measures of FC is that they assume that the networks are lar
