C.S. Lewis's space trilogy : a study in allegory : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)
No full textThis discussion of C. S. Lewis's use of allegory focuses on his Space Trilogy, which includes Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength The paper begins with a literary biography of Lewis up to and including the Space Trilogy, and then examines the allegory Lewis employs in these three novels. Special consideration is given to the purpose and the effects of the allegory, as well as how, as the trilogy progresses, Lewis changes his techniques in using allegory.Thesis (B.?.)Honors Colleg

This measurement uses a narrow-band neutrino beam with an average neutrino energy of 2.7\,GeV, which is of interest to ongoing and future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. The measured flux-averaged cross section is
, consistent with model prediction. This result is the most precise measurement of neutral-current coherent production in the few-GeV neutrino energy region.Document was prepared by the NOvA Collaboration using the resources of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), a U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, HEP user facility.

BUDGETTICKS A MUST FOR THE GOVERNMENT
No full textSYNOPSIS The D.Litt Thesis herewith submitted, namely 'Budgetticks - A must for the Government'. This nature of research comes under the purview of the subject Public Administrations, which happens to be mine own discovery. Presently, there are huge problems in chalking out the yearly budget of the different countries in the present day world. Moreover, the countries which are in the arena of third world and underneath nations, this problem of framing of yearly budget has become a misnomer. The different Governments pertaining to such third world and underneath arena find the same, quite difficult in order to present their budget in thier respective Parliaments, or, before the Assemblies. In fact, there are no relevancies observed to-day, in between the different budgetary provisions (i.e. monetary provisions) and the resultant effects. Here, the Governments are meeting with their drastic failures in providing the people, which are very akin to maintain their lives and livelihoods towards, achieving a conducive sustenance. Here, Budget and its effects make no systematic impact in providing the people, their day to day necessities. Presently, most of the 3rd world and underneath nations are adopting the type of budget which are basically borrowed from the Britishers. During the colonial rule of the Britishers, they have imposed their ideas, their authority, responsibility, accountability, in the shape of forming the Governments, up to their own tastes. Unfortunately such Governments are not finding an outlet to be away from such unsuitable procedural ways as set up towards framing of the budget as made by the Britishers. Of course, partly the British system may have, some help to the capitalistic nations like U.S.A., U.K. and other European countries, but for the people of 3rd world and the underneath nations, this system only provides a distorted, hazy as well as quite an unsuitable order, in consideration to their geographical, social, political and anthropological behavioural orders.
Learning from the Franco-Proven�cals : an investigation of the writing techniques of Marcel Pagnol : [an honors thesis (HONRS 499)]
No full textMarcel Pagnol is one of the most outstanding Franco-Provencal storytellers of the twenty-first century. His strength as an author lies in his ability to teach universal lessons through fiction. Souvenirs d'Enfance, a collection of three novels, is a prime example of works containing these lessons. In the novels, Pagnol employs a child character as the teacher and symbol of the lessons he is revealing. In this essay I discuss Pagnol's life and work, the Franco-Provencal influence on his writing, and Pagnol's use of the child character in Souvenirs d'Enfance. In conclusion, I ask the reader to consider whom Pagnol found the most wise and fair, the child or the adult.Thesis (B.?.)Honors Colleg
Gender-stratified analysis of DLG5 R30Q in 4707 patients with Crohn disease and 4973 controls from 12 Caucasian cohorts
No full textBackground: DLG5 p. R30Q has been reported to be associated with Crohn disease ( CD), but this association has not been replicated in most studies. A recent analysis of gender-stratified data from two case-control studies and two population cohorts found an association of DLG5 30Q with increased risk of CD in men but not in women and found differences between 30Q population frequencies for males and females. Male-female differences in population allele frequencies and male-specific risk could explain the difficulty in replicating the association with CD.
Methods: DLG5 R30Q genotype data were collected for patients with CD and controls from 11 studies that did not include gender-stratified allele counts in their published reports and tested for male-female frequency differences in controls and for case-control frequency differences in men and in women.
Results: The data showed no male-female allele frequency differences in controls. An exact conditional test gave marginal evidence that 30Q is associated with decreased risk of CD in women (p= 0.049, OR= 0.87, 95% CI 0.77 to 1.00). There was also a trend towards reduced 30Q frequencies in male patients with CD compared with male controls, but this was not significant at the 0.05 level (p = 0.058, OR= 0.87, 95% CI 0.74 to 1.01). When data from this study were combined with previously published, gender-stratified data, the 30Q allele was found to be associated with decreased risk of CD in women (p= 0.010, OR= 0.86, 95% CI 0.76 to 0.97), but not in men.
Conclusion: DLG5 30Q is associated with a small reduction in risk of CD in women
Towards novel difluorinated sugar mimetrics; syntheses and conformational analyses of highly-functionalised difluorinated cyclooctenones
No full textHighly-functionalised difluorinated cyclooctenones were synthesised from trifluoroethanol using either metallated difluoroenol acetal or carbamate chemistry, followed by a [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement or aldol reaction. Efficient RCM reactions afforded the title compounds which showed rather restricted fluxional behaviour by VT 19F NMR. Topological characterisation by molecular modelling and NOESY/ROESY experiments offered a number of challenges, but allowed the identification of two favoured boat-chair conformers which interconverted by pseudorotation with relatively large activation barriers
