Las máscaras del poder y resistencia de la mujer en la narrativa de Rosario Ferré.
… initial years of the twenty-first. Also, as a secondary effect of the literary dismantling of those powers and central discourses, Rosario Ferré proposes a radical repositioning of the rights of the Puerto Rican woman and by extension, the Latin American woman. The theoretical Framework of this …

Variability within the 10-year pollen rain of a seasonal neotropical forest
The effect of seasonal and multiannual environmental variability on the abundance and composition of Neotropical pollen rain was investigated using ten years of seasonal aerial pollen samples from Barro Colorado Island (BCI), Panama. Using canonical correspondence analysis, we identified the …

Atmospheric and spatial drivers of egg abundance in beach nesting shorebirds across an urban-coastal gradient of the Rockaway Peninsula, New York
… Elevation had a significant and positive but secondary effect, likely related to reduced flooding risk and higher nesting locations. These patterns were consistent across complementary modeling approaches, including Random Forest analysis. Overall, thermal conditions and coastal …

Investigation of the role of chromosome missegregation in embryo development and in tumorigenesis
… instability is a driving force or merely a secondary effect of tumor development. In Chapter 2, I will present work showing that the protein most often altered in colon cancers, Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (AdPC) (Kinzler and Vogelstein 1996), is modified by members of the spindle assembly …

Postmodernist Pedagogy's Effect on Doctoral Level Political Theory Instruction and Curriculum
… approach. This type of pedagogy can have the secondary effect of devaluing traditional notions of teaching and learning in favor of collaborative learning and learner centered teaching. Following the movement to reform the educational system in France after the student riots of 1968, …

Anillin Stabilizes Membrane-cytoskeleton Interactions During Drosophila Male Germ Cell Cytokinesis
… mutant, four wheel drive, suggest this may be a secondary effect of failed cytokinesis. Anillin, septins and myosin II stably associate with the cleavage furrow in wild-type dividing spermatocytes. Anillin is necessary for recruitment of septins to the cleavage furrow, and for maintenance of Rho, …

Intrusion dynamics of small oil droplets from a deep ocean blowout
… Additionally, smaller particles exhibit a "secondary plume effect" as they exit the intrusion as a swarm. The secondary effect becomes more prominent as UN decreases. These findings might explain the observations from the 2000 Deep Spill field experiment where oil was found to surface more …

Dynamics and Control of a Pressurized Optical Membranes
… reduce the weight of the structure. As a secondary effect, the cost of transportation, which is of great interest in space applications, is reduced as well. Given the low density of these thin-film membranes, the lower end dynamics play a greater significant role than their rigid …

Optimization parameters for a membrane polygonal body of revolution with zero meridional stress and its application to parachutes
… loads to the primary members. The shape of the secondary membrane is found such that the performance index is optimized. Several methods are utilized to solve for the optimum conditions, and an application of these solutions to a parachute design is shown. The results are presented in parametric …

The Role of The Androgen Receptor Cofactor P44/Wdr77 In Astrocyte Activation
… activation, thus p21<sup>Cip1</sup> could induce secondary effect to induce p65 nuclear localization. However, p65 knockdown completely relieved the inhibition of astrocyte growth induced by the p44/WDR77 deletion, while p21<sup>Cip1</sup> knockdown only partially recovered this inhibition. Thus, …

Effect of Chronic Ethanol Consumption on Vitamin a Metabolism (beta-Carotene, Rats)
… this study was undertaken to determine the effect of chronic elevated ethanol consumption on vitamin A status and metabolism in rats. Ethanol-containing liquid diets were fed to male rats, which as demonstrated in a preliminary experiment, needed to be pair-fed. Despite equivalent dietary …

Role of Storage Material in NOX Storage and Reduction (NSR) and Three-Way Catalysts (TWC) During Cycling Operation
… fast cycling. A ceria redox pathway has only a secondary effect on NOx conversion under excess O2. Simultaneous conversion of NO, CO and C3H6 under stoichiometric conditions was carried out on catalysts containing OSM-promoted mixed precious group metal (PGM: Pt(95%)/Pd(5%)). The studied OSMs …

The Bc(1) Complex of Rhodobacter Sphaeroides and Its Integration Into the Photosynthetic Chain
In this thesis, the effects of two inhibitors, funiculosin and zinc, on the $bc\sb1$ complex of Rhodobacter sphaeroides, and the role of isocyt $c\sb2$ in the photosynthetic chain were studied. Also the organization of the photosynthetic electron transfer chain of Rb. sphaeroides and the role of …

Atmospheric drivers of ice drift in the Antarctic marginal ice zone
… has therefore been identified as the primary effect of atmospheric forcing. When these lower frequencies were filtered out using the Butterworth high-pass filter it allowed the inertial oscillations to become more significant within the wavelet power spectrum, where it can be seen that these …

Community composition in relation to substrate, elevation, and topography in the Salt Pond Mountain area in Giles County, Virginia
… and soil parent materials seem to have a secondary effect. Measured environmental factors corresponded well with complex-gradients inferred from ordination analysis. Composition gradients in the several strata of vegetation corresponded rather closely, although this was more apparent among …
