This has been achieved by isolating a DNA element specific to the centramere of human chromosome which is responsible for chromosome segregation, and by developing an in vitro system to bemonstrate the interaction between the DNA element and aprotein which is recognized by anticentramere (kinetochore) antibodies in sera from scleroderma pat...

Psychotherapy

This dissertation contributes to redefining the relationship between literature and psychoanalytic therapy. It first presents a theoretical synthesis of contemporary literary approaches to psychoanalytic therapy as a form of narrative. It then applies this conceptual framework in close readings of four autobiographical accounts of therapy written by patients. These works, each of which exemplifies important narrative formulations of psychoanalytic therapy, are the following: Marie Cardinal's...

Music

This is a multi-sectional orchestra piece using melodic and harmonic material derived from a twelve-tone row (although serial techniques are not employed in a strict fashion). The opening oboe line contains the original row and is the germ from which all melodies develop; pyramiding brass clusters act as a reoccurring motive. The piece is written in a symmetrical arch form containing nine sections (ABCDED$\sp\prime$B$\sp\prime$C$\sp\prime$A$\sp\prime$). Section A is an exposition of the primary ...

Architecture

This thesis focuses on the manner in which two contemporaries, Alvar Aalto and Louis I. Kahn, each recognized the potential for and developed techniques toward the realization of daylighting's efficacy for the clarification of the architect's spatial concept. Although the architectural responses of these two architects differed greatly, common tendencies may be found to underlie the work of both. While in Aalto's case, the architect's interest in daylighting initiated with an inv...

Linguistics

This thesis is essentially a comparison of various optional infinitive clauses in English. The purpose clause, shown in (1), and the rationale clause, in (2), have literatures of their own; the clause in (3) has been discussed under the name "objective clause" by Faraci (1974), though later authors have identified it with the purpose clause. (1) Sue built the extra room (to hold her sewing supplies); (2) Mary sold her car ((in order) to pay the rent); (3) We brought Sam along (to amuse...

Political science,Philosophy

The contemporary turn to traditions in social and political theory, exemplified in the works of Alasdair MacIntyre and Michael Walzer, can be distinguished from other forms of traditionalism by the emphasis placed on a critical engagement with traditions. In critical traditionalism traditions are understood to embody debates and disagreements over their meaning, their scope, and their validity. It is argued that a turn to traditions offers the possibility of a politics in which the history and e...

Electrical engineering

A general configuration of printed antennas fed by planar transmission lines in a multilayer substrate geometry is analyzed using a full wave spectral domain moment method. This includes the characterization of the impedance performance via the scattering matrix of the multiport feed circuit, and also of the far field quantities by treating the orthogonal radiation field components as additional ports. Various important aspects of the dissertation are: (a) development and extensive study of a co...

Research in parent training programs has shown that STEP (Dinkmeyer and McKay, 1976) can be presented in less than nine weeks, but little information exists with regard to its use with populations other than middle-class parents, and no studies have focused on presenting the program to low-income Puerto Rican parents. To test whether the STEP program (Spanish translation) would work with Puerto Ricans, twenty-four low-income Puerto Rican volunteer mothers of three and four year olds from a pre-s...

Linguistics,Philosophy

A theory of nominalization should specify the relation between noun meaning and verb meaning. At least for some classes of nouns, such a theory should also provide a general and systematic way of deriving noun meanings from verb meanings. This is the case, for example, for event-denoting $ing\sb{\rm of}$-Nouns. The meaning of these nouns must be derived by a rule from the meaning of the corresponding verb, since there is evidence that they are not listed in the lexicon. A theory of nominalizatio...

Women's Studies

This dissertation constitutes an anthropological inquiry into the current American boom in facial and bodily cosmetic surgery. The exploration of this phenomenon utilizes the messages of the print media, the literature of the social and medical sciences, and the voices of women who tell their stories and interpret their experiences. The dissertation begins with a perspective on American society as a commercialized entity and also as a post-modern phenomenon. The commodification of American medic...

Computer Science

We study the relationship between the programming language Scheme and the $\lambda\sb{v}$-CS-calculus. To this end, we define a correspondence between Scheme and $\Lambda\sb{CS}$-terms--the language of the calculus--where every Scheme term is an abbreviation of a $\Lambda\sb{CS}$-term. Although Scheme and $\Lambda\sb{CS}$ have constructs that roughly correspond to each other, the relationship is rather complex: the inclusion of domain predicates in Scheme enforces the uniform treatment of all va...

Women's Studies

Contrary to many theorists, I consider a narrative form appropriate for feminist texts. Many feminists demanded an anti-narrative form. Cixous' and Irigaray's plea for such a style based on female jouissance seems dangerous because it reinforces patriarchal stereotypes of women as irrational, biologically determined creatures. In contrast, Kristeva's anti-narrative semiotic as both bisexual jouissance and revolutionary practice seems "ideal" in connection with a certain con...

Literature, General

In this thesis, I consider the structure and nature of Hans Robert Jauss's notion of the audience and the role this notion plays in literary criticism. In light of the fact that Jauss's conception of the reader is unique and complicated (in that he does not fall neatly into any of the larger categories of the reader such as Riffaterre's "superreader" or Wolff's "intended reader"), I seek to provide a fuller explanation of the features of the audience for each ...

Low energy electron interactions with C$\sb2$Cl$\sb4$ and C$\sb6$F$\sb6$ molecules have been studied by using Rydberg atoms. It is observed that the electron attachment process occurs through various channels. Collisions of Rydberg atoms with C$\sb2$Cl$\sb4$ molecules result in the formation of Cl$\sp-$ ions and C$\sb2$Cl$\sb4\sp-$ ions. The data suggest the presence of the long lived C$\sb2$Cl$\sb4\sp-$ ions and that the C$\sb2$Cl$\sb4\sp-$ ions undergo rapid autodetachment forming an electron ...

Commercial information (text) retrieval systems have been available since the early 1960's. While they have provided a service allowing individuals to find useful documents out of the millions of documents contained in online databases, there are, a number of problems that prevent the user from being more effective. The primary problems are an inadequate means for specifying information needs, a single way of responding to all users and their information needs, and an inadequate user interfa...

They were: the nature of the discrepancies between students' perceptions, differences in academic performance as they related to discrepancies in perceptions, and variances in discrepancies in perceptions among students of different personality types. Methodology. The sample consisted of 335 students, enrolled i...

Educational psychology

This research explored the role of hope as an emotional component of outcome anticipation. It is assumed that people often face situations that require to predict and to construe what will happen the next moment. Sometimes the events have a reasonable degree of certainty, and people may predict the probabilities of attaining goals with some precision. In such situations people may formulate fairly rational expectations about the future events. On other occasions people face future events with a ...

This work demonstrates how partial evaluation can be put to practical use in the domain of high-performance numerical computation. I have developed a technique for performing partial evaluation by using placeholders to propagate intermediate results. For an important class of numerical programs, a compiler based on this technique improves performance by an order of magnitude over conventional compilation techniques. I show that by eliminating inherently sequential data-structure references, part...

A modeling study of hippocampal pyramidal neurons is described. This study is based on simulations using HIPPO, a program which simulates the somatic electrical activity of these cells. HIPPO is based on a) descriptions of eleven non-linear conductances that have been either reported for this class of cell in the literature or postulated in the present study, and b) an approximation of the electrotonic structure of the cell that is derived in this thesis, based on data for the linear properties ...

Latin American literature,Theater

Latin American writers have seldom limited themselves to monogeneric expression, both by taste and by necessity. Modern examples can be found on the foremost 'Boom' writers: Julio Cortazar, Carlos Fuentes, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez who, while being known mostly for narrative fiction, where they have produced important and enduring works, have essayed other genres. They have shown interest in various forms of visual and aural arts: drama, film and radio scripts, as dem...
