Scandal in Scotland

This paper examines the life and scandals of William Smith, born in Dyce, Scotland in 1882. In addition to the mystery surrounding the date of his own marriage and the birth of his first child, is Smith\u27s dalliance with his wife\u27s sister and the resulting illegitimate child. Amidst these stories and others, the paper describes life in Scotland in the 19th and early 20th century and analyzes potential reasons for emigration with the help of Marjory Harper\u27s work, Emigration from Scotland between the Wars: Opportunity or Exile? The paper also follows the path of Smith\u27s descendants and their experiences as immigrants and travelers, particularly Smith\u27s youngest son Ronald. This work relies heavily on primary documents, including letters, pictures, and certificates as well as the oral history of Nancy Kilkenny, granddaughter of William Smith, and her recollections both of her own experiences and stories passed down by the family. The stories of Smith and his relatives reveal the intimate trials of a family\u27s emigration from Scotland to the United States at the turn of the 20th century

Person to Person in France

While still in the midst of their study abroad experiences, students at Linfield College write reflective essays. Their essays address issues of cultural similarity and difference, compare lifestyles, mores, norms, and habits between their host countries and home, and examine changes in perceptions about their host countries and the United States. In this essay, Abigail Meckem describes her observations during her study abroad program at the Institut Américain Universitaire in Aix-en-Provence, France

The Evolution of Flightless Ratite Birds

Birds are well known for their unique (other than bats) ability among vertebrates of flight. Through millions of years of evolution, before they were even classified as such, and for reasons and methods still largely unknown, birds evolved the ability to fly. However, like all evolution, there is no end goal or final product. Because of this, traits and adaptations evolve and then can disappear

Tori and Heegaard splittings

Haken showed that the Heegaard splittings of reducible 3-manifolds are reducible, that is, a reducing 2-sphere can be found which intersects the Heegaard surface in a single simple closed curve. When the genus of the "interesting" surface increases from zero, more complicated phenomena occur. Kobayashi showed that if a 3-manifold $M^3$ contains an essential torus $T$, then it contains one which can be isotoped to intersect a strongly irreducible Heegaard splitting surface $F$ in a collection of simple closed curves which are essential in $T$ and in $F$. In general there is no global bound on the number of curves in this collection. We give conditions under which a global bound can be obtained

Pattern Research Project: An Investigation of The Pattern And Printing Process - Volute

2017 Pattern Research Project Abigail Deluca - Volute The Pattern Research Project involves research and analysis of contemporary patterns found in the textiles and wallcoverings of the built interior environment. Patterns use motif, repetition, color, geometry, craft, technology, and space to communicate place, time, and concept. Through this research and analysis, built environments - their designers, occupants, construction, and context - can be better understood. Abigail Deluca, VCU Interior Design BFA 2020, selected the Volute pattern for the 2017 Pattern Research Project. The text below is excerpted from the student’s work: “Volute references the design choices that reference Art Deco, the stylistic reaction to modernism that took off in the 1920’s and the mechanized age. Referencing both the periods political reform and machine. Its aesthetic is derived from the stylization of images rather than relying entirely on original forms. It is an abstraction based on social theory and modernism. Despite this, it was only described as modernistic by those trying to debase it and who carried a distaste for its commercially driven spread. Volute acknowledges the aesthetics of Art Deco while ignoring its ideologies. It romanticizes the tone of Art Deco’s decorative schemes: serious, logical, and welcoming. The source of its namesake and main form are likely taken from the metalwork of the period, however since volutes have appeared in art as early in ancient Greece this isn’t entirely clear.”https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/prp/1011/thumbnail.jp
