    The Federal Reserve's Primary Dealer Credit Facility

    No full text
    As liquidity conditions in the "repo market"--the market where broker-dealers obtain financing for their securities--deteriorated following the near-bankruptcy of Bear Stearns in March 2008, the Federal Reserve took the step of creating a special facility to provide overnight loans to dealers that have a trading relationship with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Six months later, in the wake of new strains in the repo market, the Fed expanded the facility by broadening the types of collateral accepted for loans. Both initiatives were designed to help restore the orderly functioning of the market and to prevent the spillover of distress to other financial firms.Federal Reserve Bank of New York ; Loans ; Financial crises ; Brokers

    Scanning tunneling microscopy investigation of atomically precise graphene nanoribbons

    No full text
    This dissertation demonstrates the dry contact transfer of atomically precise graphene nanoribbons onto H:Si(100) under ultra-high vacuum, detailed electronic characterization, and electron-mediated polymerization of graphene nanoribbon precursors into polyanthrylene. Detailed scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements provided high-resolution imaging and reveal a 2.76 eV bandgap for chevron graphene nanoribbons. It was also discovered that tunneling to the substrate influenced STS measurements. STM and STS studies of two additional GNR geometries, the extended chevron GNR (eGNR) and the hybrid GNR (hGNR) elucidate how structural modification alters the bandgaps of GNRs. The increased lateral extension of the eGNR was found to result in a bandgap of 2.66 eV. The hGNR bandgap was found to be 1.8 eV, in agreement with computational modeling. The hypothesis that positional control over graphene nanoribbon synthesis could be achieved by tip-induced polymerization was explored. While the thermal self-assembly of 10,10′-dibromo-9,9′-bianthracene (DBBA) into N=7 armchair GNRs was previously demonstrated, the electron-mediated formation of polyanthrylene (GNR intermediate) formation was not previously shown. The STM experiments suggest that when the DBBA is thermally annealed to form a close-packed zigzag structure, an STM tip can be used to drive a de-bromination reaction which is followed by polyanthrylene formation, demonstrating a key step towards positional control over GNR synthesis.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2019-08-01The student, Adrian Radocea, accepted the attached license on 2017-06-23 at 15:40.The student, Adrian Radocea, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2017-06-23 at 15:53.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2017-06-26 at 10:44.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11261 on 2017-09-29 at 10:46:05Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-29T17:45:28Z (GMT).

    South African travel writing and bias

    No full text
    Includes bibliographical references (leaves 92-96).This thesis spotlights the travel and leisure magazine industry within South Africa. It contends that the travel writing genre is susceptible to a number of biases, both past and present, which ultimately affect the way its overall content is produced and presented to the public. This work was substantiated through a set of qualitative interviews with key professionals within the South African travel and leisure magazine industry, as well as through a theme- based content analysis of a number of local travel writing publications. This study adds to a rather extensive line of research written on the topic of travel writing regarding a number of older criticisms of bias including 'othering', escapism, and gendering. However, it also focuses on a number of more modem biases such as direct advertising, advertorial usage, as well as the acceptance of 'freebies' and barter agreements, none of which has been given much attention in previous research. The sheer existence of these and other biases within the modem South African travel and leisure magazine industry exhibits an absolute necessity of examination into such a topic, especially given the importance and overall influence that the travel writing industry has on a country's economic standing and overall image

    Charting habitus : Stephen King, the author protagonist and the field of literary production

    No full text
    While most research in King studies focuses on Stephen King’s contribution to the horror genre, this thesis approaches King as a participant in American popular culture, specifically exploring the role the author-protagonist plays in his writing about writing. I have chosen Bourdieu’s theoretical construct of habitus through which to focus my analysis into not only King’s narratives, but also into his non-fiction and paratextual material: forewords, introductions, afterwords, interviews, reviews, articles, editorials and unpublished archival documents. This has facilitated my investigation into the literary field that King participates within, and represents in his fiction, in order to provide insight into his perception of the high/low cultural divide, the autonomous and heteronomous principles of production and the ways in which position-taking within that field might be effected. This approach has resulted in a study that combines the methods of literary analysis and book history; it investigates both the literary construct and the tangible page. King’s part autobiography, part how-to guide, On Writing (2000), illustrates the rewards such an approach yields, by indicating four main ways in which his perception of, and participation in, the literary field manifests: the art/money dialectic, the dangers inherent in producing genre fiction, the representation of art produced according to the heteronomous principle and the relationship between popular culture and the Academy. The texts which form the focus of the case studies in this thesis, The Shining, Misery, The Dark Half, Bag of Bones and Lisey’s Story demonstrate that there exists a dramatisation of King’s habitus at the level of the narrative which is centred on the figure of the author-protagonist. I argue that the actions of the characters Jack Torrance, Paul Sheldon, Thad Beaumont, Mike Noonan and Scott Landon, and the situations they find themselves in, offer an expression of King’s perception of the literary field, an expression which benefits from being situated within the context of his paratextually articulated pronouncements of authorship, publication and cultural production.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo

W artykule opisano przypadek 9-letniej pacjentki poddanej zabiegowi usunięcia zębiaka zestawnego lewej szczęki w odcinku przednim. U pacjentki obserwowano typowe dla guzów zębodpochodnych u dzieci przetrwanie zębów mlecznych, będące wynikiem braku możliwości erupcji zębów stałych, blokowanych przez masę guza. Wszelkie zmiany patologiczne jamy ustnej u dzieci wymagają wnikliwej analizy i właściwego postępowania chirurgicznego. Słowa kluczowe: zmiany nowotworopodobne, zębiak, zębiak zestawny, chirurgia, ząb zatrzymany, przetrwały ząb mleczny, znieczulenie ogólne Abstract Odontogenic tumor-like lesions are the one of the most commonly presented in jawbones. In the article described 9-year-old patient case who had been treated surgically due to compound odontoma of the left maxilla in the anterior segment. In the patient observed typical for odontogenic tumors in children persisted deciduous teeth. It results from the lack of the eruptive force of permanent teeth, blocked by the mass of the tumor. Any pathological lesions of the oral cavity in children require deep analysis and proper surgical proceeding.
