The Epistemic and Ontic Conceptions of Scientific Explanation
… debate on scientific explanation between Carl Hempel and Peter Railton (or between the epistemic and ontic conceptions of scientific explanation, more generally) as one over which conception of explanation is correct, I claim that Hempel and Railton were responding to two different questions …

A Language-Game Justification for Narrative in Historical Explanation
… flaws in the covering law model proposed by Carl Hempel, and offers a justification for narrative-based explanations by appealing to the notion of language games as used by Ludwig Wittgenstein, as well as the narrative and paradigm models of Arthur Danto and Thomas Kuhn for explaining historical …

Classification and Abundance of Extremely Red Galaxies with R-J=>5
This thesis investigates the abundance and properties of extremely red galaxies (EROs). Although the existence of such conspicuous galaxies has been known for some time, there are numerous open questions regarding their nature, formation, and evolution. One reason is the number of different colour …

Establishment and regulation of polar growth in Streptomyces
A fundamental question in developmental biology is how cells establish polarity, and most strikingly how cells grow polarly. From neuronal dendrites and root hairs to bud emergence and elongation of yeast, broadly conserved pathways control cell polarity in eukaryotes. In contrast, virtually …

Genetic modification of the homomorphic sex chromosomes in the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti provides novel insights and tools for biocontrol
Aedes aegypti is a highly adaptable and invasive species largely responsible for the spread of Zika, yellow fever, chikungunya, and dengue viruses. Current methods of preventing the spread of arboviral diseases rely primarily on population control of the mosquito vector. These practices are …

Use of oxygen sensors for the non destructive measurement of oxygen in packaged food and beverage products and its impact on product quality and shelf life
The principal objective of this thesis was to investigate the ability of reversible optical O2 sensors to be incorporated into food/beverage packaging systems to continuously monitor O2 levels in a non-destructive manner immediately postpackaging and over time. Residual levels of O2 present in …

A potential route to hydrogel multifunctionalization utilizing encapsulation of acrylate-conjugated streptavidin
Biologically active materials providing a range of applications from tissue engineering to microdevices have begun to revolutionize biomedical science. New chemistries, however, must be developed for functionalization of these materials with each different molecule. This paper explores a technique …

Scale prevention in sea water evaporators: Part I design and construction
… still a major one. In 1947, however, C. A. Hempel, Armour Research Foundation, Chicago, Ill., approached the scale problem of sea water evaporators rationally by saying that if the carbon dioxide content and the pH of sea water could be controlled by either physical or chemical means, that …

Tracing hydrosocial change: the social constellations of water access and allocation for oil and gas development in Colorado
Increasing water use for OG development in Colorado suggests a change in the social constellations of water governance. Colorado's water allocation institutions, practices and policies relationally shape and are shaped by water's biophysical movement over space and time through a hydrosocial cycle. …

Drawing on identity
The focus of my work is to express aspects and constructs of identity through employing a physical drawing line. I view identity as a fragmented conglomerate influenced by one's personal experiences and interactions with social expectations. Through an analytical process of observation, I …
