Cold War New York: Postmodernism, Lyricism, And Queer Aesthetics In 1970s New York Poetry
This thesis explores the poetry of Joe Brainard and Anne Waldman, two poets of the critically neglected second-generation New York school. I argue that Brainard and Waldman help define the emerging discourse of postmodern poetry through their attention to cold war culture of the 1970s, countercultural ideologies, and poetic form. Both Brainard and Waldman enact a poetics of vulnerability in their work, situating themselves as wholly unique from their late-modernist predecessors. In doing so, they help engender a poetics concerned not only with the intellectual stakes but with the cultural environment they are forced to navigate. Chapter 1 explores Brainard\u27s I remember and the Bolinas journal, arguing that his queer phenomenological approach to writing defines the early forms of postmodernism. Chapter 2 investigates the feminist poetics of Waldman and her engagement with performance and politics as a way to offer a new kind of poetics intent on plurality. The conclusion of this thesis looks at the notion of democracy and the postmodern poet, questioning the necessity for a political poetics and its utility in literary, cultural, and American history

Development of a High-Resolution Land Cover Dataset to Support Integrated Water Resources Planning and Management in Northern Utah
Integrated planning and management approaches, including bioregional planning and integrated water resources planning, are comprehensive strategies that strive to balance the sustainability of natural resources and the integrity of ecosystem processes with human development and activities. Implementation of integrated plans and programs remains complicated. However, geospatial technologies, such as geographic information systems and remote sensing, can significantly enhance planning and management processes.
Through a United States Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 Wetland Program Development Grant, a high-resolution land cover dataset, with a primary emphasis on mapping and quantifying impervious surfaces, was developed for three watershed sub-basins in northern Utah - Lower Bear-Malad, Lower Weber, and Jordan - to support integrated water resources planning and management. This high-resolution land cover dataset can serve as an indicator of cumulative stress from urbanization; it can support the development of ecologically relevant metrics that can be integrated into watershed health and wetland condition assessments; it can provide general assessments of watershed condition; and it can support the identification of sites in need of restoration and protection

Framework for collaborative knowledge management in organizations
Nowadays organizations have been pushed to speed up the rate of industrial transformation to high value products and services. The capability to agilely respond to new market demands became a strategic pillar for innovation, and knowledge management could support organizations to achieve that goal. However, current knowledge management approaches tend to be over complex or too academic, with interfaces difficult to manage, even more if cooperative handling is required. Nevertheless, in an ideal framework, both tacit and explicit knowledge management should be addressed to achieve knowledge handling with precise and semantically meaningful definitions. Moreover, with the increase of Internet usage, the amount of available information explodes. It leads to the observed progress in the creation of mechanisms to retrieve useful knowledge from the huge existent amount of information sources. However, a same knowledge representation of a thing could mean differently to different people and applications.
Contributing towards this direction, this thesis proposes a framework capable of gathering the knowledge held by domain experts and domain sources through a knowledge management system and transform it into explicit ontologies. This enables to build tools with advanced reasoning capacities with the aim to support enterprises decision-making processes. The author also intends to address the problem of knowledge transference within an among organizations. This will be done through a module (part of the proposed framework) for domain’s lexicon establishment which purpose is to represent and unify the understanding of the domain’s used semantic
Building Yoknapatawpha: Reading Space and the Plantation in William Faulkner
This thesis is about the Southern plantation in Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha fiction: how
it is represented and constructed, how it is narratively articulated and experienced as
both space and symbol. But as its full title suggests, Building Yoknapatawpha is equally
about narrative structures and spaces too: about how Yoknapatawpha textually fits
together; about how this spreading oeuvre was constructed by Faulkner and how it
may equally be reconstructed by the reader. It is about both the reading of space and
the space of reading – about how the architectural spaces and social order of the
Southern plantation and the narrative structures of the novel inform, complement,
and challenge one another, and how their affinity may ultimately be used to generate
a new “spatialized” model of literary reading.
Foregrounding tensions between narrative “details” and “design” and
conceptions of “ruin” and “restoration”, this thesis explores how Faulkner’s
Yoknapatawpha novels function simultaneously as “open” and “closed”. It considers
how Absalom, Absalom! (1936) attempts to recuperate the repressed historical
connections present in Flags in the Dust (1929), only to erase them once more through
death, destruction, and narrative closure. It considers how Go Down, Moses (1942)
offers models of black domesticity that resist the oppressions of segregation and
lynching – but which are dispersed through black diaspora and narrative exclusion. It
considers how The Mansion (1959) revises and integrates details from earlier
Yoknapatawpha texts to create a richly layered textual space – but which is in constant
tension with the process of the historical “whitening” of the Southern post-plantation
landscape which it ultimately depicts. Building Yoknapatawpha concludes by
attempting to resolve these tensions into a new model of literary reading:
deconstructing Yoknapatawpha to reassemble it as a layered “mapping” of multiple
parallel narrative paths and connective links, which resist the mastery – and erasure –
imposed by linearity and closure
