Coast to Coast
No full textThis project is a feature-length, satirical comedy screenplay entitled Coast to Coast. The lead protagonist, Jules Bown, is a young woman who goes through a transformative experience after accepting the offer of a lifetime. As the story progresses, we follow Jules navigating her way through a fictional clash between the East Coast (New York) and the West Coast (California) for the new Capital of the United States. A variety of notable celebrities represent each coast, turning the battle into a fight between elite figures, rather than between citizens. The tension between East and West is inspired by the 1990s East Coast - West Coast hip-hop rivalry; songs from key players in the feud are featured throughout the script. The use of recognizable celebrities is aimed to provide commentary on the state of our current political climate, with famous individuals getting more and more of a say in nationwide decisions. Power, wealth, and status are all heavily explored in Coast to Coast, as we see firsthand the way it impacts certain characters and their decisions. Jules’s journey encapsulates the interpersonal conflicts that come with power and status, as she struggles with her long term romantic relationship and friendships
Activated Carbon : Synthesis, Analysis, and Industrial Applications
No full textActivated Carbon: Synthesis, Analysis, and Industrial Applications explores the fundamentals of activated carbon production and characterization, modification techniques and applications of machine learning in the field of activated carbon synthesis and applications. The book is divided into three parts to enable readers and researchers of all levels easy access to the information herein. Section 1 is on Synthesis methods and characterization techniques. The next six chapters on Section 2 focus on diverse industrial applications of activated carbon. The last section is on machine learning applications as well as research progress in activated carbon synthesis, modification, and diverse applications.Written for researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, academics, and industry professionals in the fields of sustainable environmental science and chemical engineering, this book will be a welcomed reference for those who wish to better understand the role of activated carbon in solving sustainability challenges in the world related to energy shortage, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental issues. -- back coverhttps://digitalcommons.bucknell.edu/books/1327/thumbnail.jp

Piecing it Together Using Molecular Hosts: From Crystals to Molecular Switches
No full textI will present our work on how we use molecular hosts to grow single crystals of organic compounds, as well as reversibly capture environmental pollutants. I think our approach to design, synthesize and characterize these systems will appeal to a broader audience as it will highlight how a scientific project can be driven with a certain function in mind. My hope is that my talk will demystify chemistry for those who might be unfamiliar with its molecular nature, and help them appreciate its significance and potential in our lives.https://digitalcommons.bucknell.edu/fac_coll/1063/thumbnail.jp
John Banville
No full textJohn Banville offers a close analysis of most of Banville’s major novels, his Quirke crime novels, and his dramatic adaptations of Heinrich von Kleist’s plays. Banville’s work has been marked by an embedded discourse about the significance of art and by a concurrent self-consciousness of its own status as art. His novels perpetually reveal an overt fascination with the visual arts, in particular, and with the aesthetic principle of literature as art. This study asserts that, as a whole, Banville’s work presents an elaborate and richly textured coded account of his relationship with art and with the self-referential fictional world that his novels conjure. It is from this critical context that John Banville’s central argument is derived: that his fiction can be viewed as an extended interrogation of the meaning and status of art and that it is itself representative of the type of art admired in the pages of the novels.https://digitalcommons.bucknell.edu/bucknell-press/1115/thumbnail.jp
El orden de las cosas: el retrato nostálgico de Nueva York a través de los objetos en Tus pasos en la escalera, de Antonio Muñoz Molina
No full textMaithil Women\u27s Oral Tales Digital Archive
No full textThis archive of Maithil women’s tales is intended to preserve this art for generations to come – for members of the Maithil and broader South Asian community, for scholars and educators of oral traditions in South Asia and around the world, and for the general public.
In Mithila today, gender norms are very much in flux due to influences of new globalized technologies of communication, along with other economic, political, educational and cultural transformations, including outmigration. My research reveals that these very same forces have already resulted in the displacement, and will likely eventuate in the loss, of women’s cross-generational oral storytelling as a way to pass down cultural knowledge and values. Maithil women’s stories for centuries have functioned as a locus for the expression and dissemination of cultural value and history. The disappearance of this women’s oral storytelling is no small loss, given the unique artistry, as well as perspective, humor, pathos, and insight embedded in the practice. They promulgate understandings and dispositions toward action enabling Maithil women to navigate (including critique) their significantly constrained and dominated lives in life-affirming and sometimes life-expanding ways
