Cognition and visual information: an examination of human evolution, cognitive models and my artistic practice
No full textAn examination of my cross-disciplinary artistic practice that attempts to bring together Asian meditative disciplines with Western inquiry through visualizing social and physical statistics. As I explore the relationship between language and sensation, I use Charles Pierce's three referential modes: the iconic, indexical and symbol-symbol to view how humanity as come to understand the world through images, objects and rituals. Paralleling this investigation is a systems theory that attempts to visualize the fluidity of a non-discrete universe where social interaction correlates with the physical world.M.F.A.Includes bibliographical references (p. 39-42)by Brian J Bulfe
Public Perceptions of Genetically Modified Foods: Americans Know Not What They Eat
No full textBiotechnology stands to be a defining technology in the future of food and agriculture. Proponents argue that science and industry are poised to bring consumers a wide variety of products that have potential for meeting basic food needs, as well as delivering a wide-range of health, environmental and economic benefits. Opponents counter that the potential exists for unintended consequences, ranging from ecological disruption to adverse human health implications, and that these risks are not fully understood. Fundamental questions exist, however, regarding the general public’s position on food products derived with the use of biotechnology. To address these questions, the Food Policy Institute addressed consumers using computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI) system, a public phone survey of a sample selection of 1203 U.S. residents was administered between March and April 2001. The questionnaire was developed to address perceived gaps in the current literature on American consumer awareness, acceptance, and perceptions of food biotechnology and to serve as the basis for a set of longitudinal studies that will be able to track public opinion over time.Food Policy Institute Publication Number RR-0302-001

The question of gendered voice in some contemporary Irish novels by Brian Moore and John McGahern
No full textThis thesis questions the use of the 'voice' metaphor in contemporary Irish cultural studies in order to examine
the ways in which gendered identities are constructed in some Irish Catholic communities in twentieth-century
Ireland. With reference to novels by Brian Moore and
John McGahern as well as to Judith Butler's theories of performativity and citational practices, it argues that gendered identities are constructed through the repetitive citation of hegemonic cultural discourses. This thesis
focuses on the ways in which gendered identities are produced and maintained through the citation of the official discourses of the Catholic Church and the State as
well as the more mundane discourses related to popular nationalism and the family.
The first two chapters concentrate on novels whose protagonists are trying to construct powerful identities in urban Irish society through the manipulation of gendered discourses. The discussion of Moore's The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne identifies some of the strategies through which conventional Irish women's voices are constructed
and questions the validity of the category of 'authentic' women's voices. In the chapter relating to McGahem's The
Pornographer, the powerful, abstract male voice is exposed as a performative construct which is sustained only through the abjection of those elements which disrupt the narrator's performance of masculinity.
The remaining chapters concentrate on the use of idealised images such as those of the 'woman-as-nation' and the iconised mother in novels by Moore and McGahem. Moore's The
Mangan Inheritance provides the basis for a discussion of whether or not voices attributed to women in texts by Irish men can be read in ways that disrupt the apparent authority of Irish men's voices. This thesis discusses the issues
raised when men participate in the deconstruction
of idealised images of Irish women. The final chapter examines the processes through which conventional identities are discursively constructed and maintained in two novels by John McGahem: The Dark and Amongst Women. This thesis contends that through the strategic
redeployment of those voices attributed to idealised images of Irish women, voices which are conventionally regarded
as silent, patriarchal gendered identities can be destabilised or displaced

Chemical potential and compressibility of quantum Hall bilayer excitons
No full textThis paper considers a system of two parallel quantum Hall layers with total filling factor 0 or 1. When the distance between the layers is small enough, electrons and holes in opposite layers form interlayer excitons, which have a finite effective mass and interact via a dipole-dipole potential. I present results for the chemical potential μ of the resulting bosonic system as a function of the exciton concentration n and the interlayer separation d. Both μ and the interlayer capacitance have an unusual nonmonotonic dependence on d, owing to the interplay between an increasing dipole moment and an increasing effective mass with increasing d. A phase transition between superfluid and Wigner crystal phases is shown to occur at d ∝ n[superscript −1/10]. Results are derived first via simple intuitive arguments, and then verified with more careful analytic derivations and numeric calculations.United States. Dept. of Energy.
