The oaks of Independence : a landscape history of the original site of Baylor University and the potential surrounding historic district.
(2011-05-12)The landscape in and around the village of Independence in northeastern Washington County, Texas, is characterized by dense old growth riparian zones, released old fields, open pastures, and regenerated woodlots. The ... -
Objectivity and subjectivity in epistemology : a defense of the phenomenal conception of evidence.
(2014-11-13)We all have an intuitive grasp of the concept of evidence. Evidence makes beliefs reasonable, justifies jury verdicts, and helps resolve our disagreements. Yet getting clear about what evidence is is surprisingly difficult. ... -
Observing and measuring charge regulation between two redox states of myoglobin using protein charge ladders and capillary electrophoresis
Charge regulation occurs when a protein modulates its net charge in a way that minimizes some perturbance, e.g. the binding of a metal cofactor. Net charge is a fundamental biophysical property that is nonetheless poorly ... -
An OCL-based verification approach to analyzing static properties of a UML model.
(2010-06-23)There is a need for more rigorous analysis techniques that developers can use for verifying the critical properties in UML models. The UML-based Specification Environment (USE) tool supports verification of invariants, ... -
Of fire and rain.
(2006-09-28)Of Fire and Rain is an eleven-minute work for full orchestra. Through its musical materials it explores the idea of two contrasting elements, fire and water, as symbols. Conflict, balance, suffering, and healing are among ... -
Off-axis cavity ring down spectroscopy with exponential and phase shift detection : absorption spectra of weak transitions at low temperatures.
(2009-08-25)In this dissertation the ability of the off-axis laser injection in cavity ring down experiments is shown. Modulated continuous wave and pulsed lasers are used to obtain the absorption spectra of weak transitions at low ... -
On a ring associated to F[x].
(, 2013-09-24)For a field F and the polynomial ring F [x] in a single indeterminate, we define Ḟ [x] = {α ∈ End_F(F [x]) : α(ƒ) ∈ ƒF [x] for all ƒ ∈ F [x]}. Then Ḟ [x] is naturally isomorphic to F [x] if and only if F is infinite. If F ... -
On Baptism and the Eucharist: A Brief Theological Summary
(2018-04-23)This thesis deals with the history of sacramental theology concerning the two common sacraments, Baptism and the Eucharist. The overview begins with Hugh of Saint-Victor, who represents the Catholic tradition. After Hugh ... -
On Death and the Afterlife: Resurrecting the Christian Doctrine of Last Things
Christianity is very much a product of a mixing of cultures. Christ lived at a time of great mobility and social stability under the Roman Empire, and thus Christianity was born into a collision of Greco-Roman culture and ... -
On inferring cognitive impairment from a battery of tests and predicting an event-of-interest using longitudinal and time-to-event data.
(2018-06-29)In this dissertation we first investigated two commonly used methods’ and a recently proposed method’s ability to predict conditional survival probabilities based on longitudinal biomarker measurements. Then, in preparation ... -
On quasi-dominant weights and Hilbert series of determinantal varieties.
(, 2014-09-05)The coordinate rings of the classical determinantal varieties are each isomorphic to a classical invariant ring by Weyl's fundamental theorems of invariant theory. Since these rings are Cohen-Macaulay, their Hilbert series ... -
On rings with distinguished ideals and their modules.
(2007-05-23)Let S be an integral domain, R an S algebra, and F a family of left ideals of R. Define End(R, F) = {φ ∈ End(R+) : φ(X ) ⊆ X for all X ∈ F }. In 1967, H. Zassenhaus proved that if R is a ring such that R+ is free of finite ... -
On Science and Atheism: Whether Atheistic Belief is Scientifically Motivated
The intent of this paper is to explore the motivation behind the rejection of theistic religious faiths by modern atheist scientists, and whether it is justified to claim that this rejection is scientifically motivated. ... -
On the Goldbach Conjecture
(2013-05-24)Goldbach's conjecture, proposed in 1742, is one of the oldest open questions in mathematics. Much work has been done on the problem, and despite significant progress, a solution remains elusive. The goal of this paper is ... -
On the Gram-positive bacterial cell wall.
(2017-07-23)Cell wall is the outermost part of Gram-positive bacteria. It is intricately tied to the bacteria’s response to environmental stimuli and challenges, and its makeup dynamically changes as a part of bacterial adaptation. ... -
On the Integration of Art and Marketing: How Popular Culture Transforms and Corrupts High Art in the Cause of Advertising
The purpose of this work is to explore the relationship between high art and the world of marketing by analyzing the way popular culture co-opts high art in the cause of advertising. As the utilization of high art in ... -
On the measurement of blinding in randomized, controlled trials.
(2014-11-20)A key feature to many randomized, controlled trials is that they implement a blind; that is, subjects, experimenters, or both are unaware as to which treatment arm an individual has been assigned. The purpose of the blind ... -
On the origin of Lake Malawi cichlids and mechanisms of their maintenance.
(2014-10-28)A fundamental task of evolutionary biology is to explore patterns of speciation. Evolutionary biologists have been intrigued for centuries by the fact that some species underwent extensive radiation while others diversified ... -
One bread, one body, one church : the religiosity of Latino and Anglo Catholics in America.
(, 2013-09-16)Objective: This paper examines the religious differences between American Latino and Anglo Catholics. Method: This study uses multivariate analyses to model the differences between these groups on traditional measures of ... -
