Narrative Images

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] "If I had to tell the story in one line or two, I would tell it this way: I loved her and she did not choose me, though I believed she would." At 28, the narrator tells her mother she was abused as a young child by her father. The narrator's mother does not believe her, and the two become estranged. Written in lyric form, the personal narrative is set alongside a collage of facts, stories, and photographs from a range of disciplines, including phrenology, medical science, television, zoology, pop culture, and particle physics. One of the essay's strongest through lines is that of embodied memory and the sensory experience of living in a body that has undergone trauma. Unfamiliar juxtapositions and disruptions in the text along with photographs of narrative images attempt to evoke in the reader some of the sensations the narrator herself experiences. This essay is the study of one family within broader contexts of sexual violence, cultural ambivalence, mental illness, memory, the body, and various systems of dysfunction. At its core, though, it is the story of the narrator's love for, and loss of, her mother.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study aims to contribute to the literature on Distributed Leadership Theory by examining the way in which educational leadership is changing to a more expanded and inclusive approach. Due to the increasing demands placed on the educational systems from state and federal policy makers, researchers have advocated for a change in our understanding and practice of educational leadership. The current study focuses on one such example of this change in leadership approach by examining the collaborative efforts of three assistant principals in a district where collaboration among administrators is not the norm. The goal of the study is to use a phenomenological approach to capture the essence of this collaboration so that it can be analyzed through the lens of distributed leadership. Much of the body of research on DL focuses on the school, specifically the interaction between principal and teacher or principals and others in a formal leadership positions. The rationale for this study is there is little exploration into the role the school district plays in influencing the development of distributed leadership. Finally, by focusing on the collaborative efforts of the administrators it is the researcher's hope that schools, school districts, and states will encourage school leaders to collaborate with one another to develop solutions to complex problems facing their schools and communities.

Over Time

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] "Sphinx Eyes Antiphon," one of the poems in my collection, And the Wood Doll Arose and Told, I'm a Real, refers to a blank or unreciprocal social gaze. Humans need some level of affirmation from the surrounding community. The eyes of ancient statues, due to weathering over time, appear as solid, blank convexitieswith no pupils or irises. The speaker of my poems understands that this is the "gaze" (in fact unseeing) that often meets her back. The poems deal with subjects who have a harder time rebuffing this blankness, due to their marginalized status and an unwillingness to conform. Many of my poems treat gendered experience as well as yoke personal history and subjectivity to political, or ethical, exhortation. My work is largely about the 'victim'; it's an effort at a vertical descent into the radically alienated experience of one caught to violence, from verbal violence or indifference to extreme physical cruelty. Animals figure into my poems often because of this focus. I attend to invisibility, to a subject overwritten. One of my strategies is physicalizing the psychic. This has to do with how the body's senses register social impingement or dominance (i.e. through the gaze or in language). The poems carry a 'feminine' sensibility (but they are for anyone), and they also attend to and dignify the body and the immanent, the inner life.

Grotesque Body

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] My dissertation includes a critical introduction and a manuscript of poetry. The critical introduction, "There was no warm body in what you wrote": Redefining the Gurlesque via Patricia Lockwood's Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals' uses the contemporary poet Patricia Lockwood to argue for the expansion of Gurlesque poetics. First, I establish how Lara Glenum and Arielle Greenberg define the Gurlesque. Then, I demonstrate that Lockwood is a Gurlesque poet, and that her treatment of the body in various manifestations--the sexual body, the grotesque body, the traumatized body--complicates these poetics. I argue that while Glenum and Greenberg's conceptualization of the Gurlesque necessitates a transparent relationship between writing about the body and meaning about the body, Lockwood's poetry shows that writing about the body can generate meaning across, through, tangential, and aside from the body. Via the lens of the Gurlesque, then, Lockwood's poetry illuminates the multiple opportunities for meaning in women's body-writing. My manuscript of poetry, "The Imaginary Age,"� is divided into three parts, and might be described as a neo-confessional, gurlesque poetry that is especially invested in the bestiary and the elegy.

Very High

In recent years an increasing emphasis has been placed on the study of high temperature intermetallic compounds for possible aerospace applications. One group of interest is the B2 aiuminides. This group of intermetaliics has a very high melting temperature, good high temperature, and excellent specific strength. These qualities make it a candidate for applications such as turbine engines. The B2 aiuminides exist over a wide range of compositions and also have a large solubility for third element substitutional additions, which may allow alloying additions to overcome their major drawback, their brittle nature.One B2 aluminide currently being studied is cobalt aluminide. Optical microscopy of CoAl alloys produced at the University of Missouri-Rolla showed a dramatic decrease in the grain size which affects the yield strength and flow stress of long range ordered alloys, and a change in the grain shape with the addition of 0.5 % boron.

Economic Considerations

The Missouri Automated Radiology System recently passed its tenth year of clinical operation at the University of Missouri. This article presents the views of a radiologist who has been instrumental in the conceptual development and administrative support of MARS for most of this period, an economist who evaluated MARS from 1972 to 1974 as part of her doctoral dissertation, and a computer scientist who has worked for two years in the development of a Standard MUMPS version of MARS. The first section provides a historical perspective. The second deals with economic considerations of the present MARS system, and suggests those improvements which offer the greatest economic benefits. The final section discusses the new approaches employed in the latest version of MARS, as well as areas for further application in the overall radiology and hospital environment. A complete bibliography on MARS is provided for further reading.

Matrix Generator

This paper builds on previous concept generation techniques explored at the University of Missouri - Rolla and presents an interactive concept generation tool aimed specifically at the early concept generation phase of the design process. Research into automated concept generation design theories led to the creation of two distinct design tools: an automated morphological search that presents a designer with a static matrix of solutions that solve the desired input functionality and a computational concept generation algorithm that presents a designer with a static list of compatible component chains that solve the desired input functionality. The merger of both the automated morphological matrix and concept generation algorithm yields an interactive concept generator that allows the user to select specific solution components while receiving instantaneous feedback on component compatibility. The research presented evaluates the conceptual results from the hybrid morphological matrix approach and compares interactively constructed solutions to those returned by the non-interactive automated morphological matrix generator using a dog food sample packet counter as a case study.

The 19Th Century

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This dissertation examines post-World War II student civil rights activism at two Midwestern college campuses, the University of Missouri (MU) and the University of Kansas (KU). Missouri and Kansas have conflicting histories concerning race dating back to Bleeding Kansas and the history of race relations on the campuses of KU and MU. This history is especially complicated during the period between 1946 and 1954 because of heightened student activism that challenged racial injustices. Race relations on campus largely mirrored that of the state's political environment, with KU having integrated in the 19th century, whereas MU did not desegregate until 1950. However, the same did not apply to the success of student activists at each school where MU students found success fighting against discriminatory practices in Columbia, whereas local business leaders and the university administration stymied KU students. The dissertation examines the exchange of ideas and strategy among students, which occurred through athletics, debates, guest speakers, and various regional and national groups. In particular, the study argues that campus spaces, such as residential co-ops and student organizations, were deeply significant because they served as incubators of activism by offering students a place to talk about racial and social injustice and plan ways to challenge these inequalities and effect change on campus and in the broader community.

Immortal Soul

The time is not far off when all psychic phenomena were explained only as manifestations of an immortal soul independent of the body. The time was not yet far off when mental illness was looked upon as the result of an evil spirit having taken possession of the patient's soul, and the treatment of mental illness was reduced to the expulsion of this evil spirit by prayers and incantations. The psychiatrists were then clergymen, and the places of treatment of mental illness were monasteries. Where treatment failed, there was only one way to get rid of the evil spirit - to burn, to destroy the body that became his home.
