"Swear this flag to live, for this flag to die": Flag Imagery in Constructing the Narrative of the Civil War and the Transformation of American Nationalism
… a notion of national identity closely tied to flag iconography. Flag symbolism developed as the prominent visualization of nationalism in American culture during and after the Civil War. The flags of the Civil War - namely the American flag, the Confederate national flag, and the Confederate …

The South African flag controversy, 1925-1928
… is to produce a comprehensive history of the flag controversy. Narrative, analysis and description are the stuff of written history and their blend must vary according to the nature of the topic tackled. In a comprehensive history of a most complex subject such as the flag controversy, a story …

Metric Geometry of Quiver Flag Varieties and Balanced Embeddings
A projective manifold is called balanced if the integral of the moment map over its image in the projective embedding is a scalar multiple of the identity matrix. A hermitian metric on a line bundle is balanced if its Bergman kernel is identically constant. We study the relationship between …

Modeling a piezoelectric flag as a membrane for energy harvesting
… of this research is to model a piezoelectric flag as a membrane for the sake of energy harvesting. Typically, a flag is modeled as a beam, but it is modeled as a membrane in this study with the hopes of more accurately describing the dynamics of the system. Following this is an overview of …

Algebraic geometry for tensor networks, matrix multiplication, and flag matroids
… algebro-geometric methods to study matroids and flag matroids. We review a geometric interpretation of the Tutte polynomial in terms of the equivariant K-theory of the Grassmannian. By generalizing Grassmannians to partial flag varieties, we obtain a new invariant of flag matroids: the …

The Woman's Relief Corps: "Missionaries of the Flag," 1893-1918
Patriotic education began when the Woman’s Relief Corps was established. The earliest patriotic education was done on Memorial Day rather than on a daily basis in the schoolroom. The WRC’s plan for patriotic education went into full gear in 1893. The history of the Woman’s Relief Corps and the …

Diagrams and reduced decompositions for cominuscule flag varieties and affine Grassmannians.
… of quotients corresponding to cominuscule flag varieties and affine Grassmannians. This canonical decomposition allows, in the first case, an abbreviated computation of relative R-polynomials. From this, we show that these polynomials can be obtained from unlabelled intervals, and more …

Furling The South Carolina Confederate Flag: Political Expediency Or Cultural Change?
Until July 2000, three Confederate battle flags flew at the South Carolina State House—one in each Legislative chamber and a third on top of the State House dome, on the same pole and just below the U.S. flag and the state’s Palmetto flag. A legislative compromise that year removed the flags from …

Amending the American flag : artistic liberties in the nineteen sixties and seventies
… its official creation in 1777, the American flag has come to symbolize the Constitution, United States history, and personal political values. In the 1960s and 70s, the government attempted to limit flag display to a patriotic symbolism in response to mass protests over the Vietnam War and …

The future of national flag carriers in developing countries : air Botswana's privatisation struggle

The tautological classes of the moduli spaces of stable maps to flag varieties
… moduli spaces of genus 0 stable maps to SL flag varieties. We prove that the rational cohomology and rational Chow rings of these spaces are isomorphic and that they are generated by tautological classes. In the case when the target is a projective space, we present a second proof of this …

Raising the Black Flag : state capacity, geography, international law, and the resurgence of maritime crime
In my dissertation I seek to answer the questions regarding why some coastal populations turn to maritime crime in domestic and international waters, and others do not. In this work I advocate that generalizable geographic, political, and economic conditions can explain a significant portion of …
