Remembering World War II in the late 1990s

description: This dissertation analyzes the late 1990s US remembrance of World War II utilizing Alison Landsberg’s (2004) concept of prosthetic memory. Building upon previous scholarship regarding World War II and memory (Beidler, 1998; Wood, 2006; Bodnar, 2010; Ramsay, 2015), this dissertation analyzes key works including Saving Private Ryan (1998), The Greatest Generation (1998), The Thin Red Line (1998), Medal of Honor (1999), Band of Brothers (2001), Call of Duty (2003), and The Pacific (2010) in order to better understand the version of World War II promulgated by Stephen E. Ambrose, Tom Brokaw, Steven Spielberg, and Tom Hanks. Arguing that this time period and its World War II representations are more than merely a continuation of wartime propaganda, this research investigates these works as an attempt to transfer “privately felt public memories” as originally championed by President Ronald Reagan during the 40th anniversary of D-Day.   This dissertation provides a context for this late 1990s engagement with memory by reviewing collective memory theory, drawing upon historian Jay Winter’s observation of “memory booms,” and the role remembrance of previous wars, including World War I, played in how we came to remember World War II. Conservative administrations in the United Kingdom and United States during the 1980s returned a focus to ideas of tradition and heritage moored within a utopian understanding of the World War II era. Borrowing traumatic emphasis from Holocaust survivor and Vietnam post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) narratives of the 1970s, politicians such as Ronald Reagan and broadcasters such as Tom Brokaw began constructing prosthetic memories around the US combat soldier experience. Brokaw, acting as megaphone for historian Ambrose’s hyper-focus on World War II soldier oral histories, allowed the former’s honorific “The Greatest Generation” to enter the cultural lexicon. Carrying the Generation’s memory inside of you became a guilt-based duty.     The construction of transferential spaces for prosthetic memories during the 1990s was also abated by the rise in computer-based processing, graphics, and sound to immerse an audience or player in a sensory overload simulation. The consequence of this construction of memory is a narrowing of perspective on the lessons of a worldwide war built upon systematic genocide and atomic weapons.

description: Molecular simulations have become an essential part in modern chemistry research. Due to the wide variety and complex nature of practical chemistry problems, the multiscale simulation approach, which attempts to solve problems at different scales using different level of theories, has been widely employed. In this dissertation, several practical applications of multiscale simulation methods to the study of RNA catalysis as well as some method development work are presented. In Chapters 3 and 4, detailed investigations using quantum mechanical methods on the transition state structures in native and catalyzed model reactions that mimic RNA self-cleavage are presented, which serve as a baseline for the following mechanistic studies on real catalytic RNAs. Chapter 5 presents an example of a holistic approach on a mechanistic problem in a real catalytic RNA, which is the hammerhead ribozyme. Quantum mechanical methods, classical simulations and hybrid quantum-classical calculations are employed together to resolve the controversial role of residue G12 in hammerhead ribozyme. Finally, in Chapter 6, method developments on an advanced sampling method called the multi-dimensional replica exchange method is presented and applied to two prototypical problems in biochemistry. Taken together, the work presented here provide new insights into the molecular-level mechanism of RNA catalysis, which is of fundamental importance to our understanding of the underlying chemical principles in life.

The multiplicative weight updates method for evolutionary biology
Creators: name: Chastain, Erick
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: A new and exciting direction of recent work in theoretical computer science is the application of methods from the field to evolutionary biology. Starting with the work of Christos Papadimitriou and Adi Livnat, there has been a concerted effort to use these techniques to analyze such diverse phenomena as: the algorithmic role of recombination to increase mixability, the evolution of modularity, and the evolution of complex adaptations. There is also work by Les Valiant and his students using tools primarily from learning theory to more broadly analyze evolutionary processes. In parallel, computer science theory has developed a novel method which has been applied in diverse areas of algorithms and complexity: the Multiplicative Weight Updates (MWU) method. The MWU method simply applies the MWU general-purpose online learning algorithm on problem-specific loss functions. The contribution of this thesis is to apply the MWU method and the algorithmic lens to make models in evolutionary biology.    The first contribution is a surprising equivalence between the MWU algorithm playing a coordination game and infinite-population genetics models with recombination and no mutation. By so doing, we resolve analytically a question asked by Papadimitriou and Livnat: whether mixability is increased in the short-term by recombination.    Other models introduced using MWU as a basic dynamics include a model of the evolution of animal personality and of tool innovation.    Finally, the thesis presents a novel connection between universal semantic communication and the Rivoire-Leibler model of population genetics, in addition to infinite population asexual selection models. MWU is the basic tool used to prove the latter connection.

An analysis of pedagogical moves for facilitating the development of in-service middle-school mathematics teachers' recognition of reasoning
Creators: name: Cipriani, Phyllis J.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: A constructivist approach for teaching and learning mathematics was the foundation for a longitudinal study at Rutgers University in 1987 (Maher, 2011). One of the objectives of the longitudinal study was to provide an environment where students solve problems in collaborative groups (Maher, 2011).  Videos from the longitudinal study are stored in the Video Mosaic Collaborative Repository and are resources to use for professional development programs to gain insight in recognizing students’ reasoning (Maher et al., 2010).    A qualitative case study was used to examine the effect of a semester-long course entitled Topics in Mathematics Education: A Lesson Study on Reasoning with ten in-service middle-school mathematics teachers from five districts in the southern region of New Jersey during fall 2013.  Findings from this study revealed that (1) teachers’ expectations of students' abilities increased, particularly with special education students; (2) teachers showed evidence of growth in their abilities to use non-leading questioning and pedagogical practices; and (3) teachers recognized that attending to students’ reasoning is a gradual and continual process.  Implications of the study and future research recommendations include comparing the results of the other cohorts.
Identification and characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis VapC50 toxin
Creators: name: Cortese, Jillian Nicole
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Tuberculosis is a major health concern for a large portion of the world’s population, despite its reputation as an ancient disease.  One of the main concerns is the development of latent tuberculosis, where Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains dormant for months or years before being reactivated.  Among all bacteria studied thus far, M. tuberculosis has the most toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems, with 88 discovered so far, 50 of which are VapBC systems.  It is thought that these TA systems may aid the bacteria in establishing and/or maintaining M. tuberculosis cells in this nonreplicating persistent state characteristic of latent tuberculosis.  TA systems have been shown to respond to various stressors that bacteria may encounter, including hypoxia, host immune responses, and nutrient starvation.  VapBC, which is a type II TA system, is composed of an unstable antitoxin protein, VapB, that binds to the stable PIN domain-containing VapC toxin protein and blocks its activity.  The goals of this M.S. research project were to isolate, characterize and identify the RNA target of one M. tuberculosis VapC toxin, VapC50. To this end, we first discovered that the annotated VapC50 gene was incorrect, and instead identified and cloned the correct VapC50 toxin. Expression of VapC50 in Escherichia coli resulted in growth inhibition, however, expression Mycobacterium smegmatis did not inhibit growth.  Purification of recombinant VapC50 protein proved to be a difficult task and was only successful after the third trial, when the protein was expressed at 30C instead of 37C.  Since most of the analysis of VapC toxins published highlight their tRNA cleaving ability, purified VapC50 was used to conduct a tRNA cleavage assay with all 45 tRNAs in M. tuberculosis.  None of the 45 tRNAs were cleaved by VapC50, suggesting that this toxin may instead have a novel physiological role in this pathogen.
Advanced molecular design to replace poly(α-hydroxy acid)s in biomedical applications

Year: 2017

description: Advances in biomaterials can be brought about by the development of novel polymers that are designed to satisfy multiple criteria. Some of these criteria are biodegradability, biocompatibility, processability to fabricate into different architectures, and appropriate mechanical properties. Modifying currently existent polymeric biomaterials only gives limited control over desired properties; these properties can be easily tuned when new polymers are designed. One important aspect for the advancement of biomaterials is the ability to functionalize them by attaching biomolecules to create or enhance the regenerative response in the body. While such reactivity is actively being explored in soft polymeric biomaterials such as hydrogels, bioconjugation of biomolecules to stiff polymers has not been investigated. In this dissertation, the synthesis and properties of novel polymers synthesized from naturally occurring molecules such as tyrosol and 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid are reported. The polymers were incorporated with pendant chemical groups that can undergo ‘click’ reactions under physiological conditions. The reactivity of the polymers towards thiol containing small molecule, thiol containing proteins, and proteins and polysaccharides modified with azide group is reported. It was discovered that it is possible to fabricate the designed polymers into computer-aided architectures by fused deposition modeling.  Additionally, in this thesis, the structure-property relationship of polycarbonates derived from diesters of 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid and 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid with alkane diols are explored in Chapter 5. The striking difference in thermal and mechanical properties by a small change in the chemical composition of the monomer is noted. Finally, independent research work done on tyrosine-derived polycarbonates is presented in Appendix 1 and 2.
Pseudo-cryptic speciation and adaptive morphology in the paleontological record

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Evolution is the process by which species change through time, and understanding the evolutionary processes that occur today allows us to infer the evolutionary history of organisms from the distant past. In this thesis, the evolutionary processes and adaptations of two distantly related organisms that inhabit different environments were studied.  Chapter one investigated the size variation in pentaliths of Braarudosphaera bigelowii, a marine haptophyte that is abundant in the Lower Paleocene Zumaia section of northern Spain, and explored the idea that the variability in pentalith size represents pseudo-cryptic speciation. A cluster analysis in RStudio (mclust package) yielded two size groups, which were interpreted as two unique pseudo-cryptic species: form X (< 4.5 μm) and form Y (≥ 4.5 μm). In addition, a sudden increase in B. bigelowii abundance occurred near the Paleocene C27n/26r magnetic reversal and formed a “peak acme” zone of approximately four meters. Isotopic analyses of organic matter revealed that the onset of this acme coincided with an abrupt negative excursion (3.5‰) in δ13Corg. Biostratigraphic correlation between the Zumaia section and the Danian/Selandian boundary section at Qreiya, Egypt confirmed that this isotopic shift correlates with a hyperthermal event (Latest Danian Event), and suggests that changes in the climate may have affected the abundance of B. bigelowii at Zumaia.  Chapter two described a new species of aquatic belostomatid insect, Triassonepa solensis, from the Upper Triassic, lacustrine Cow Branch Formation that outcrops along the Virginia/North Carolina border. It was placed in a new genus due to the unique structure of its raptorial foreleg, in which the tarsus is elongate and opposed to the tibia + femur. Due to the exclusive preservation of terrestrial adult insects and surface-dwelling aquatic insects, in addition to the geochemistry of the deposit, it is likely that the Cow Branch Formation was a saline, alkaline, rift valley lake.

Multiscale constitutive modeling of graphene-based and multiferroic composites
Creators: name: Hashemi, Roohollah
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: The main focus of this thesis is on the constitutive modeling of two important classes of advanced functional materials, that is graphene-based nanocomposites and piezoelectric-piezomagnetic multiferroic composites. Along the way, several related issues with complex physical nature are essentially examined from a continuum-based viewpoint. Our study begins with the development of a homogenization scheme with several desirable features for determination of overall magneto-electro-elastic response of multiferroic composites containing periodic distribution of multi-inhomogeneities. The accuracy and applicability of proposed theory is verified through consideration of several examples of three-phase multiferroic composites with complex microstructures. Besides, the strong dependence of overall behavior of composites on the microstructure parameters, such as the interface condition, thickness, eccentricity and material properties of core inhomogeneities and their coating layers is well demonstrated. Through the second part of this investigation, we offer a robust analytical methodology to determine the magneto-electro-elastic scattered fields of a shear wave induced by a two-phase multiferroic inhomogeneity within a transversely isotropic piezoelectric or piezomagnetic medium. To put its wide range of applicability in perspective, the developed theory is applied to several descriptive examples with various degrees of complexities. The numerical results thoroughly illustrate the influence of material properties of constituent phases, the thickness and eccentricity of coating layer, and the frequency of propagating SH-wave on the scattered fields induced by the multiferroic fiber. In the third part of this thesis, we aim to uncover how the imperfect load transfer at the graphene–matrix interface can affect the time-dependent viscoelastic response of graphene/polymer nanocomposites. To this end, different interface models are formulated within the framework of Mori-Tanaka homogenization theory. Through consideration of different sets of experimental data we demonstrate that, by adopting the weakened interface models in our homogenization theory, the quantitative behavior of creep response of graphene/polymer nanocomposites can be well captured. In addition, both stress relaxation and stress–strain relations are also found to greatly depend on the interface condition. In the closing part of this investigation, the effective electrical conductivity and permittivity constants of graphene/polymer nanocomposites are examined via the effective-medium theory. To do so, the microcapacitor and electron tunneling activities are taken as two interfacial processes that depend on the volume concentration of graphene fillers, and can be well modeled in a phenomenological way. The proposed model is shown to be able to successfully recover the experimental data of nanocomposite samples in AC electrical settings.

description: In recent years Community planning has come to be recognized as one of the most important functions of municipal government. This is primarily the result of the ever increasing growth and development pushing out from the metropolitan centers throughout the country. Communities are realizing that lack of planning results in uncontrolled growth and a haphazard form of development which eventually destroys the advantages of community living. Growth in the wrong locations with no regulation and control can easily be detrimental to a community. If growth and development is to be a community asset it must be planned for in advance and guided into the right areas. Municipal government is big business and like big business it must plan for its expansion. Just as planning is a part of every day life it should also be an important function of municipal government.The Master Plan is a guide by which a municipality prepares for its future development or redevelopment. The Master Plan is a set of goals which reflect the needs and desires of a community; it provides a program or framework for guiding new growth to create a balanced community and correcting conditions resulting from unplanned growth.The Master Plan should be comprehensive in scope with all its features related so as to provide for a logical and practical scheme of development. It must take into consideration all the factors of community development not only within the community but in the surrounding areas as well. All the elements relating to the community, cultural and economic as well as physical, must be studied and planned together as related parts of one entire planning program.

Adparafurius columbiensis Carvalho & Gomes, 1971a: 461 (original description).
Adneella columbiensis: Carvalho, 1989b: 482 (new combination).
Material examined. COLOMBIA. Cundinamarca: 1 ♂, Gachetá, 1745 m, 4°49’N, 73°39’W, net sweeping, herbaceous trail, ix.2012 (C. Cabra) (UNAB 606); 1 ♀, Tena, Laguna Pedro Palo, 1384 m, 4°39’N, 74°27’W, 5. viii.1995 (UNAB 606); 1?, Tibirita, 1980 m, 5°3’N, 73°30’W, 9.xi.1996 (J. Serrani) (UNAB 606).
Diagnosis. Head dorsum yellow, sometimes with a black median spot. Antennal segment I and II black. Pronotum yellow sometimes with a black spot posterior to the pronotal calli. Scutellum yellow with a lateral spot black. Cuneus yellowish with lateral and inner margins black. Circular spot near the inner side of cuneal fracture black. Antennal segment II/antennal segment I length ratio less than 1.5. Body length 6.70–8.50 mm. Right paramere (Fig. 43) with basal process straight; body tubular and curved; sensory lobe absent; apical process directed toward the basal process and gradually terete. Left paramere (Fig. 44) with basal process straight; body wide and slightly concave; sensory lobe absent; apical process transverse to the body and gradually terete.
Associated/host plants. Unknown.
Distribution. Colombia (Cundinamarca) (Carvalho & Gomes 1971a).
Comments. Both the black median spot on head dorsum and the black spot posterior to the pronotal calli are not mentioned in the original description of the species; however, we record these features herein as they are present in all specimens we studied and are included in Carvalho’s personal notes (unpublished documents once housed in the National Museum of Brazil, MNRJ). Specimens of A. columbiensis in the original description ranged 7.50–8.50 mm long (Carvalho & Gomes 1971a). Specimens in the present work are 6.70–7.50 mm; hence, length ranges are 6.70–8.50 mm.

Operaria: Laevis tota, nitidissima, subnuda, rufa, abdomine fusco; antennis ll-articulatis; *) metathorace impressione transversali a mesothorace discreto; metanoto dentibus validiusculis, brevibus, horizontalibus; nodo posteriori segmenti primi infra spinula acutiuscula instructo. Lig. 1 1/3 lin.
Der ganze Körper ist völlig glatt und mit äußerst feinen, kurzen, weißlichen Borstenhaaren versehen, welche jedoch nur bei günstigem Licht und einer sehr starken Loupe wahrnehmbar sind. Die Färbung, mit Ausnahme des 2ten Segments, röthlichgelb. Die Mandibeln schwach gezaehnt, der Clypeus groß, besonders nach oben stark verlängert, an der Spitze in der Mitte fast ganz gerade abgestuzt. Das Stirnfeld nicht deutlich abgesetzt, und von der Stirnrinne nur eine schwache Spur vorhanden. Die Netzaugen klein, flach, schwach und zerstreut behaart, Nebenaugen fehlend. Die Fühler 11-gliedrig, der Schaft so lang wie die Geißel mit Ausnahme der beiden letzten Glieder. Die abstehenden Borstenhaare an dem Schaft sind länger und deutlicher als an den übrigen Körpertheilen. Das Stielchen verlängert, umgekehrt kegelfoermig, die Geilselglieder vom 1-6ten stark verkürzt, breiter als, lang, allmählig an Dicke zunehmend, das 7 - 9te stark verdickt, eine Keule bildend, das letzte stark verlängert, stumpf zugepitzt und so lang wie die drei vorhergehenden zusammen genommen. Der Mittelleib schmäler als der Kopf, nach hinten allmählig verengt, der Meso- und Metathorax durch einen leichten Quereindruok getrennt ^ der letztre mit 2 kurzen, horizontalen Dornen, der abschüssige Theil nicht länger als der Basaltheil. Die Knoten des 1ten Segments äußerst fein runzlig, nur oben in der Mitte glatt; der hintere Knoten hat auf der Unterseite eine scharf vorgezogene Spitze. Das 2te Segment nimmt fast den ganzen Hinterleib ein, es ist dunkel- oder vielmehr schwarzbraun, nur an der Basis und zwar sowohl auf der Rücken- wie auf der Bauchseite rothgelb. Die Bauchseite ist an der Spitze viel mehr rothgelb als auf dem Rücken.
*) Nylander 1. c. p. 1058, nennt die Fühler 12-gliedrig, was vielleicht auf einem Irrthum beruht, dann unsre Exempl. stimmen in allen Stücken mit seiner Beschreibung und auch in der Lebensweise überein. So wäre es allerdings möglich, daß unsere leviuscula das Weibchen von nitidula wäre.
Diese schöne und ausgezeichnete Art hatte ich das Vergnügen in einem Haufen der Formica polyctena m. zu Stolberg bei Aachen zu entdecken. Das einzige Exemplar, welches Nylander beschrieb, wurde ebenfalls bei einer rothen Ameise *) entdeckt.

Master plan Jefferson Township, Morris County, New Jersey

Year: 1962

description: Jefferson Township covers a wide area of great topographic variety.It is an all season rural-suburban community of homes and also a playgroundof Lakes and Forests. Fifty-five per cent of its inhabitants take full advantageof this, in that they reside in permanent, year-round dwellings. Forty-fivepercent are seasonal dwellers.Jefferson's extremely high rate of growth is attributable to theindustrial plant expansion in the northern part of New Jersey; ever betterhighways providing shorter driving times from urban and industrial areas outinto rural areas; the family search for open space and recreation; and moderateland and home construction costs. It is a Township that is young in thecomposition of its population, but old in historical significance.The immeasurable development potential is at once a current assetand a possible long term liability. Forty percent of its terrain may likelyremain undeveloped wooded hills. However, an increasing number of seasonaldwellings are being converted for year-round use, bringing great numbers ofnew school size children, but little accompanying increase in tax receipts.Commercial growth designed to serve the expanding population isappearing in several areas. Industrial expansion has not yet taken place toany major degree.There is no doubt that further expansion of the interstate highwaynetwork and the program for development of the Delaware River Basin to thewest, will place Jefferson Township more and more in a position to offer ahome community of scenic beauty, conveniently situated within easy drivingtime of expanding work centers.This report documents the growth trends to date, and projects thequantity and quality of this growth into the future. The following chapterson population, economics, traffic, recreation and capital budgets are intendedto serve as a guide to the local government for the development of theTownship.

description: This thesis was scanned from the print manuscript for digital preservation and is copyright the author. A linked list is a form of data structure which must be searched sequentially. A search of a linked list begins at the first record in the list, which contains a pointer to the location of the second element, and so on (see figure 1). This arrangement may be likened to a series of books on a shelf, indistinguishable until removed and examined. In order to find a particular book, it would be necessary to systematically remove and examine each book from the left hand edge of the shelf, for instance.
