My Blood of the Covenant: Reverberation of the New Covenant in Matthew’s Gospel
… to show that the titles evoke strong covenantal overtones even though covenant terminology is not used. Furthermore, in Matthew, these covenants are synthesized in one christological act of covenant-making. The third and fourth chapters investigate the only and explicit reference to the covenant …

Spectroscopic exploration of conformal heterogeneity in an amorphous polyphenylene-vinylene derivative
… blends show several orders of Raman overtones. We use the intensity of these Resonant Raman overtones and the framework of time-dependant spectroscopic theory, to estimate vibrational-mode displacements and the reorganizational barriers to charge transfer and transport.

The Shepherd Motif in the Psalter
… in the ANE, it was found to have strongly royal overtones. It is<br/>principally used in descriptions of Israel's God. Less frequently, it is applied to undershepherds<br/>such as Moses, Aaron and David. More specifically, the shepherd<br/>metaphor presents Yahweh as an interventionist deity who …

Vibrational Spectroscopy and Potential Energy Surface Analysis of the X˜ And B˜ States of Thiophosgene
… More than 370 of these vibrational fundamentals, overtones, and combination bands were assigned and fit with a simple spectroscopic Hamiltonian. Observed transitions are highly Franck-Condon active in the CS stretching (nu1) and out-of-plane bending (nu4) modes, and extend in energy beyond the …

Probing weakly bound long-range Rydberg molecules by quantum beating experiments in rubidium vapor
… LRRM's quantum well manifest on the spectrum as overtones on both sides of the 7$s$-5$d_{5/2}$ and 8$s$-6$d_{5/2}$ atomic quantum beats at 18.225 THz and 10.726 THz, respectively. From the observed vibrational term energy spacings, we are able to extract vibrational constants for three potential …

Circuits of imperial citizenship: Indian print culture and the politics of race, 1890-1914
… identity that carried racial and civilizational overtones. Through a close reading of iterations of imperial citizenship across a wide range of print culture sources, I show how imperial citizenship, although ostensibly race-blind, was an implicitly racialized discourse. Based on research from …
