No full textThe Things Which Become Sound Doctrine: The Life of Aaron M. Shank offers a window into the rise and development of several conservative Mennonite groups in southeastern Pennsylvania in the mid- to late-twentieth century. Deeply influenced by the book’s subject, the author offers a historical account of Aaron M. Shank (1915-2003), whose role was instrumental in shaping the origin and growth of the Eastern Pennsylvania Mennonite Church (EPMC), which came from Lancaster Mennonite Conference (LMC) in 1968, and the Pilgrim Mennonite Conference (PMC), which came from EPMC in 1992.

Aaron Burr as his contemporaries saw him : senior honors thesis [(HONRS 499)]
No full textIt is the author's purpose in this presentation to discuss Aaron Burr as he was seen by his own period of history and his own world. This objective shall be accomplished by examining sources contemporary to Burr and relevant to the three major areas of his life: the man, the politician, and the conspirator. This division of discussion has been chosen because the author feels that almost every part of Aaron Burr's life can be adapted to one of these three areas. The author has also found that any matter which cannot be suited to one of these three areas is but incidental commentary and has little importance for the subject at hand.Thesis (B.?.)Honors Colleg

The M87 Black Hole Mass From Gas-Dynamical Models Of Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph Observations
No full textThe supermassive black hole of M87 is one of the most massive black holes known and has been the subject of several stellar and gas-dynamical mass measurements; however, the most recent revision to the stellar-dynamical black hole mass measurement is a factor of about two larger than the previous gas-dynamical determinations. Here, we apply comprehensive gas-dynamical models that include the propagation of emission-line profiles through the telescope and spectrograph optics to new Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph observations from the Hubble Space Telescope. Unlike the previous gas-dynamical studies of M87, we map out the complete kinematic structure of the emission-line disk within similar to 40 pc from the nucleus, and find that a small amount of velocity dispersion internal to the gas disk is required to match the observed line widths. We examine a scenario in which the intrinsic velocity dispersion provides dynamical support to the disk, and determine that the inferred black hole mass increases by only 6%. Incorporating this effect into the error budget, we ultimately measure a mass of M-BH = (3.5(-0.7)(+0.9)) x 10(9)M circle dot (68% confidence). Our gas-dynamical black hole mass continues to differ from the most recent stellar-dynamical mass by a factor of two, underscoring the need for carrying out more cross-checks between the two main black hole mass measurement methods.NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship 1102845Space Telescope Science Institute 12162NASA NAS 5-26555NSF AST-1108835Astronom
Co-opting disease pathology for personalized medicine; utilizing endogenous biomaterials to generate theranostic nanoparticles
No full textVarious biomolecules and cell types have been demonstrated to have the capacity to form plasmonic gold nanoparticles when chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) is introduced.We have demonstrated the capacity and utility of nanoparticles generated from endogenous biomolecules through three examples which can potentially be applied to multitudes of applications (1) Through a point of care reactive gel, acting as a scaffold for ionic gold (Au3+) capable of sensing reductive biomolecules presented in high concentrations during eye injury; (2) The generation of gold nanoparticles intrecellularly for enhanced phenotype observation of the cell combined with therapeutic potential; and (3) A simplistic, single-step means of generating gold nanoparticles functionalized with whole cell membrane which imparts minimal impact on biomolecule integrity. From this body of works we have demonstrated that multitudes of endogenous biomaterials have the capacity to reduce and form nanoparticles by variety of mechanisms which can directly be applied to sensing pathological states, applying therapy, as well as a means for improvement on previous biomimetic theranostics.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Aaron Schwartz-Duval, accepted the attached license on 2018-12-14 at 15:30.The student, Aaron Schwartz-Duval, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-12-14 at 15:36.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-01-02 at 11:26.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13333 on 2019-08-22 at 16:18:18Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:44:21Z (GMT).

Fluid-mediated sources of granular temperature at finite Reynolds numbers
No full textWe derive analytical solutions for hydrodynamic sources and sinks to granular temperature in moderately dense suspensions of elastic particles at finite Reynolds numbers. Modelling the neighbour-induced drag disturbances with a Langevin equation allows an exact solution for the joint fluctuating acceleration–velocity distribution function P(v′,a′;t). Quadrant-conditioned covariance integrals of P(v′,a′;t) yield the hydrodynamic source and sink that dictate the evolution of granular temperature that can be used in Eulerian two-fluid models. Analytical predictions agree with benchmark data from particle-resolved direct numerical simulations and show promise as a general theory from gas–solid to bubbly flows.This article that has been published by Cambridge University Press as Lattanzi, Aaron M., Vahid Tavanashad, Shankar Subramaniam, and Jesse Capecelatro.

Mademoiselle and the Boulangerie: Nadia Boulanger's lasting influence on American choral music
No full textThroughout her career, Nadia Boulanger's unique ability to guide and instruct young musicians as well as veterans drew attention to her work as a pedagogue and notoriety to her name. She mentored some of the most influential twentieth century American composers, thereby helping shape the course of American musical history and define the sound that would represent the nation. This project will examine Boulanger's contribution to the development of American choral music as teacher and mentor. Beginning with one of her first American students, Aaron Copland, and concluding with her last American student, David Conte, the author will examine Boulanger's influence through selected works from several of her most notable students. This report will present brief biographical sketches of each composer, examining the impact their relationships with Boulanger had upon their art and how she helped give birth to the sound that would come to define a nation
Book Review: Authenticity and How We Fake It: Belief and Subjectivity in Reality TV, Facebook and YouTube by Aaron Duplantier
No full textTV reality shows, so popular at the end of the nineties, gave rise to a fruitful academic tradition of which this book forms a part. Aaron Duplantier, a PhD in English and currently an instructor at the University of Houston, contributes to this tradition. His main research topic is the construction of mediated subjectivity, with special attention to the different forms of consumption and social meaning of reality TV shows. In this book, the author explores his leitmotif while identifying this television genre with other postmodern phenomena
