"The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating": Sweeney Todd and the Modern Revenge Tragedy
(2010-04-02)
Revenge tragedies create a world where corruption leads to retribution through personal rather than civil channels. Although many have connected Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd and the revenge tradition, few have explored ...
Propagation of Vaccinium arboreum by Stem Cuttings for Use as a Rootstock for Commercial Blueberry Production
(2012-04-19)
Commercial blueberries, including V. corymbosum and V. ashei, have very specific needs for optimum growth; hence, growing sites are limited. They require acidic soil (pH 4.0-5.5), good drainage, thorough aeration, and a ...
Propeller Design and Optimization Using a Robust Genetic Algorithm and a Computationally Efficient Solver
(2022-03-28)
A computationally efficient and reliable propeller design tool has been constructed using an advanced real coded Genetic Algorithm (GA) and a mid-fidelity potential flow solver. The GA constructs a population of propeller ...
Propeller Performance Analysis and Multidisciplinary Optimization Using a Genetic Algorithm
(2007-12-15)
A propeller performance analysis program has been developed and integrated into a Genetic Algorithm for design optimization. The design tool will produce optimal propeller geometries for a given goal, which includes ...
Properties of Iron-Sulfur Clusters in Heterodisulfide Reductase
(2019-07-17)
Global warming is a continuing crisis today. It has caused great damage to our planet and health. One of the leading causes of this issue originates from humans releasing an enormous amount of greenhouse gases into the ...
Properties of Nonmetric Hereditarily Indecomposable Subcontinua of Finite Products of Lexicographic Arcs
(2009-11-09)
Nonmetric hereditarily indecomposable subcontinua of finite products of Lexicographic arcs are examined. It is shown that these subcontinua cannot intersect certain subsets of the products. Then nonmetric hereditarily ...
A Property Based Approach to Integrated Process and Molecular Design
(2007-05-15)
In this work, a new simple yet effective, systematic method to synthesize and design molecules is presented. Visualization of the problem is achieved by employing an annex to the recently developed property clustering ...
A Property of GO-Topologies on the Reals
(2019-04-04)
In 1981 Peter de Caux proved that finite powers of the Sorgenfrey line are hereditarily D-spaces. In this paper we build on de Caux's technique to show that any subspace of a finite power of the reals with a generalized ...
Property Value Impacts and Risks Perceptions: A Hedonic Analysis of Anniston, Alabama
(2007-05-15)
The city of Anniston, and to a larger extent Calhoun County, Alabama, has been affected by two major types of environmental disamenities: polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) released into the soils and waterways, and the ...
