  • Modernist Aesthetics and the Artificial Light of Paris: 1900 to 1939
    Modernist Aesthetics and the Artificial Light of Paris: 1900 to 1939 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Emma Elizabeth Reddy (MA Cantab) School of English University of Leicester February 2017 2 ABSTRACT Modernist Aesthetics and the Artificial Light of Paris: 1900 to 1939 Emma Elizabeth Reddy In this project the fields of modernist studies and science converge on the topic of lighting. My research illuminates a previously neglected area of modernism: the impact of artificial lighting on American modernist literature written in Paris between 1900 and 1939. Throughout that period, Paris maintained its position as an artistic centre and emerged as a stage for innovative public lighting. For many, the streets of Paris provided the first demonstration of electricity’s potential. Indeed, my research has shown that Paris was both the location of international expositions promoting electric light, as well as a city whose world-class experiments in lighting and public lighting displays were widely admired. Therefore, I have selected texts with a deep connection to Paris. While significant scholarship exists in relation to Parisian artificial lighting in fine art, a thorough assessment of the impact of lighting on the modern movement is absent from recent critical analysis. As such, this thesis seeks to account for literary modernism in relation to developments in public and private lighting. My research analyses a comprehensive range of evocations of gas and electric light to better understand the relationship between artificial light and modernist literary aesthetics. This work is illuminating for what it reveals about the place of light in the modern imagination, its unique symbolic and metaphorical richness, as well as the modern subject’s adaptability to technological change more broadly.

  • ABSTRACT Multi Objective Optimization for Seismology (MOOS)
    ABSTRACT Multi Objective Optimization for Seismology (MOOS), with Applications to the Middle East, the Texas Gulf Coast, and the Rio Grande Rift Mohit Agrawal, Ph.D. Chairperson: Robert J. Pulliam, Ph.D. We develop and apply new modeling methods that make use of disparate but complementary seismic “functionals,” such as receiver functions and dispersion curves, and model them using a global optimization method called “Very Fast Simulated Annealing” (VFSA). We apply aspects of the strategy, which we call “Multi Objective Optimization for Seismology” (MOOS), to three broadband seismic datasets: a sparse network in the Middle East, a closely-spaced linear transect across Texas Gulf Coastal Plain, and a 2D array in SE New Mexico and West Texas (the eastern flank of the Rio Grande Rift). First, seismic velocity models are found, along with quantitative uncertainty estimates, for eleven sites in the Middle East by jointly modeling Ps and Sp receiver functions and surface (Rayleigh) wave group velocity dispersion curves. These tools demonstrate cases in which joint modeling of disparate and complementary functionals provide better constraints on model parameters than a single functional alone. Next, we generate a 2D stacked receiver function image with a common conversion point stacking technique using seismic data from a linear array of 22 broadband stations deployed across Texas’s Gulf Coastal Plain. The image is migrated using velocity models found by modeling dispersion curves computed via ambient noise cross-correlation. Our results show that the Moho disappears outboard of the Balcones Fault Zone and that a significant, negative-polarity discontinuity exists beneath the Coastal Plain.

  • Geology Alumni Newsletter | Fall 2012
    DEPARTMENT OF GeologY Alumni Newsletter | Fall 2012 The scientist is motivated primarily by curiosity and a desire for truth. -Irving Langmuir 1 August 2012 Dear Alumni and Friends of Baylor Geology: There is an old Chinese proverb “we live in interesting times”, and that has certainly been the case. We now have a new Strategic Plan for Baylor University termed Pro Futuris (http://www.baylor.edu/ profuturis/) that has been intentionally written with rather vague language so that Departments, Colleges, Schools and Centers can respond more specifically in order to flesh out the “Aspirational Statements”. Having been involved early in the strategic planning process as both Chair and a member of the Geology Department, I can honestly say that the administration seriously considered all input receiving in the information gathering process, which is apparent in the final document that was adopted. It seems clear to me that in the new plan Baylor sees growth and improvement in the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) as vital to its future aspirations of becoming a major research university, but at the same time is not stepping back from its commitment to excellence in undergraduate education. The fall semester of 2011 saw the Department start searches for tenure-track Assistant Professors in Applied Geophysics and Mineralogy-Petrology, but unfortunately both resulted in failure to secure hires. The Applied Geophysics search was resumed this fall, and a search for a Senior-level Paleoclimatologist is also underway. Two additional faculty hires requested for next year are in water-related research and in Petrology. Bill Hockaday’s new “Paul Marchand Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratory” was finally completed, the NMR installed, and a formal dedication is planned.

    Wednesday, April 14th 2021 The Honorable Joseph R. Biden Jr. The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Joe Biden, As scientists, engineers, and public health experts, we welcome the important early steps you have taken to lay the groundwork for science-based policymaking, including rejoining the Paris Agreement and halting or reversing harmful regulatory rollbacks. Devastating climate impacts are already unfolding across the country and around the world. The science shows we must take bold actions now to sharply reduce heat-trapping emissions, limit climate change, and protect public health. As we endeavor to build a safer, more resilient world, centering the voices and needs of communities disproportionately impacted by environmental and climate injustices is essential. The global effort to limit warming to well below 2° Celsius, as called for in the Paris Agreement, has reached a critical point. Worldwide heat-trapping emissions are still far above where they need to be to stave off the worst climate harms. The United States, as one of the world's biggest contributors to global heat-trapping emissions, must take responsibility and commit to cutting its emissions by at least 50 percent below 2005 levels by 2030 and transitioning to a net-zero emissions economy no later than 2050. This goal is both technically feasible and necessary—now we need action. We now call on your administration, working with Congress, to take strong, concrete measures across the economy to ensure the United States will meet this robust target. Emission reductions from the transportation and power sectors—the two leading sources of US heat-trapping emissions—must be prioritized, along with investments and policies that create good-paying jobs and further climate resilience, environmental justice, and racial equity.

  • Napoleon and the Cult of Great Men Dissertation
    Meteors That Enlighten the Earth: Napoleon and the Cult of Great Men Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Donald Zarzeczny, M.A. Graduate Program in History 2009 Dissertation Committee: Dale K. Van Kley, Advisor Alice Conklin Nathan Rosenstein Copyright by Matthew Donald Zarzeczny 2009 Abstract Napoleon promoted and honored great men throughout his reign. In addition to comparing himself to various great men, he famously established a Legion of Honor on 19 May 1802 to honor both civilians and soldiers, including non-ethnically French men. Napoleon not only created an Irish Legion in 1803 and later awarded William Lawless and John Tennent the Legion of Honour, he also gave them an Eagle with the inscription “L’Indépendence d’Irlande.” Napoleon awarded twenty-six of his generals the marshal’s baton from 1804 through 1815 and in 1806, he further memorialized his soldiers by deciding to erect a Temple to the Glory of the Great Army modeled on Ancient designs. From 1806 through 1815, Napoleon had more men interred in the Panthéon in Paris than any other French leader before or after him. In works of art depicting himself, Napoleon had his artists allude to Caesar, Charlemagne, and even Moses. Although the Romans had their legions, Pantheon, and temples in Ancient times and the French monarchy had their marshals since at least 1190, Napoleon blended both Roman and French traditions to compare himself to great men who lived in ancient and medieval times and to recognize the achievements of those who lived alongside him in the nineteenth century.
