The words beneath the sand: an examination of the works of three Virgin Islands poets, Cyril Creque, J. P. Gimenez, and J. Antonio Jarvis, 1995
No full textThis study is an excavation and examination of the works of Virgin Islands poets, Cyril Creque, I. P. Gimenez, and Antonio Jarvis, who wrote in the first half of the twentieth century. It looks at the historical and literary context that fostered them and provides a thorough study of one aspect of each man's poetry. In particular Creque's Romanticism is examined, as are Gimenez's vernacular poems, and Jarvis' dual consciousness. All three are examined from the perspective of the tensions created by their being products of the United States Virgin Islands, a territory at once Caribbean and American. The study set out to refute the assertions of critics that Virgin Islands poets were mere imitators of the European style. What has been revealed is a rich tapestry of original imagery and language, reflective of the Virgin Islands unique history and culture. A thorough examination of selected poems of each writer was conducted, as was research on each writer. This research was supported by available data and to a significant extent by information gathered from interviews with persons who knew the subjects of the study. This dissertation is, most likely, the first comprehensive critical work on Virgin Islands poetry and on Creque, Gimenez, and Jarvis. As such it will be useful to scholars interested in the literature of the Virgin Islands and also of the Caribbean and the United States of which the territory is a part. It verifies, not only the presence of a poetic heritage, but testifies to its quality as well as its significance in the two poetic traditions of which it is a part

No full textRoles of the Drosophila NudE protein in kinetochore function and centrosome migration
No full textWe examined the distribution of the dynein-associated protein NudE in Drosophila larval brain neuroblasts and spermatocytes, and analyzed the phenotypic consequences of a nudE null mutation. NudE can associate with kinetochores, spindles and the nuclear envelope. In nudE mutant brain mitotic cells, centrosomes are often detached from the poles. Moreover, the centrosomes of mutant primary spermatocytes do not migrate from the cell cortex to the nuclear envelope, establishing a new role for NudE. In mutant neuroblasts, chromosomes fail to congress to a tight metaphase plate, and cell division arrests because of spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) activation. The targeting of NudE to mitotic kinetochores requires the dyneininteracting protein Lis1, and surprisingly Cenp-meta, a Drosophila CENP-E homolog. NudE is non-essential for the targeting of all mitotic kinetochore components tested. However, in the absence of NudE, the ‘shedding’ of proteins off the kinetochore is abrogated and the SAC cannot be turned off, implying that NudE regulates dynein function at the kinetochore
Cultural Intelligence And Global Business Competencies: A Framework For Organizational Effectiveness In The Global Marketplace
No full textThis paper proposes that cultural intelligence and global business competencies are vital to organizations as they seek to achieve success in the global marketplace. Adler (2001) suggests that because of the diversity of the global workforce cultural barriers may exist resulting in misunderstanding and thus inefficient interactions. Organizations will, therefore, have to understand the cultural foundation of the environment within which they operate in order to achieve organizational success
Growth and Survival of Nearshore Fishes in Lake Michigan
No full textThis report includes 2007 field season results of a project that began in August 1998. This project’s purpose is to identify factors that contribute to and determine yearclass strength of fishes in nearshore waters of Lake Michigan. This research focuses on Illinois waters of Lake Michigan and is needed because limited data exist on year-class strength and recruitment of nearshore fishes. The focus of this research is to describe patterns of year-class strength and to relate these patterns to a set of factors that allow managers to better predict inter-annual fluctuations in fish populations.
After this project was funded, we learned that an artificial reef would be built at one of our nearshore sites. Little quantitative information exists on the role such artificial reefs play in the attraction and recruitment success of fishes in freshwater. Consequently, we added the artificial reef site (plus a nearby reference site) to our sampling protocol to identify how the addition of an artificial reef might attract sport fishes, affect recruitment success, and assess other possible effects on the nearshore fish community.not peer reviewedSubmitted by Susan Braxton ([email protected]) on 2016-03-11T18:15:53Z

Growth and survival rate of nearshore fishes in Lake Michigan, 2012
No full textResearch described in this report focuses on Illinois waters of Lake Michigan and provides essential information for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to better understand factors contributing to nearshore fish community assemblages in a spatial and habitat related context. Information presented herein expands limited data and directly aids fisheries management efforts.This report describes results obtained during 2012field season and marks the fifth year of major changes to the project, which included changing sampling locations, expanding sampling sites to include different habitat types, and expanding sampling techniques to collect juvenile fish.Data analysis from field sampling conducted in 2013is ongoing and lab processing is not complete. As such, a complete reporting of data collected during the 2012sampling season is presented, covering data from Segments 15and 16. Further, some objectives are based on long term data collection and insights will become clearer as results accrue through future sampling; therefore, results for each objective may not be specifically discussed in this report. Below, we present the study objectives and several research highlights.not peer reviewedSubmitted by Susan Braxton ([email protected]) on 2016-07-01T14:29:19Z

Growth and Survival Rate of Nearshore Fishes in Lake Michigan
No full textZooplankton communities at the three locations were very similar. Bosminidae were a main contributor to the small differences observed. Invertebrate communities in core samples differed slightly between locations; DR was most different from the other two locations. Analysis of 22 prey taxa in early summer diets showed clustering based on fish species only. Yellow perch, round goby and spottails had very different diets in June and July.Research described in this report focuses on Illinois waters of Lake Michigan and provides essential information for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to better understand factors contributing to nearshore fish community assemblages in a spatial and habitat related context.
