This thesis examines two contemporary works of fiction, Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead (2004) and Home (2008), exploring how the characters of each novel contend with conceptions of grace, forgiveness, and agency, all hinging ...
Lignin-containing cellulose nanofibrils (LCNF): processing and characterization
(2018-07-18)
Currently, the global dependence on oil as a source of energy and raw materials has dramatically increased, creating practical and environmental concerns. This has led to several efforts towards replacing this non-renewable ...
Limitations of the Microtremor Method: A Case Study in the Los Angeles Basin, California
(2010-08-02)
Microtremor data from 16 broadband seismic stations across the Los Angeles basin are used to explore limitations of Nakamura's (1989) method for estimating resonant frequencies, amplification, and ground vulnerability to ...
Limited information strategies for topological games
(2015-04-08)
A topological game G(X) is a two-player game which characterizes
properties of a topological space X based upon the existence of winning
perfect-information
strategies for players in the game. If the property P is ...
Limits on populations of herbivorous insects
(2021-12-15)
