THE SEXUAL ORIENTATION OF CELIE IN ALICE WALKERâS THE COLOR PURPLE
The objectives of this research are to reveal the factors that cause Celie to
become a lesbian and to describe Celieâs homosexual identity development. The
researcher used sexual orientation, lesbianism and other related theories to answer
the formulated research questions.
The method used in this research is qualitative content analysis. The
subject of this research is a novel entitled The Color Purple by Walker. The data
are some phrases, clauses, and sentences related to the factors that cause Celie to
become a lesbian and process of Celieâs homosexual identity development. The
key instrument of this research is the researcher herself employing sexual
orientation theory by Giddens and lesbianism theory by Rich as explained in the
conceptual framework. Sexual orientation and lesbianism are used as the grand
theories for the analysis. The indicators made are based on the employed theories
to gain the research data. To gain the trustworthiness, the researcher used data
triangulation technique by crosschecking the data with her consultants and other
researchers.
The findings of the research show two important points. First, the factors
that cause Celie to become a lesbian are psychological and social/environmental
factors. Second, Celieâs homosexual identity development process covers four
stages: sensitization or emergence, identity confusion, identity assumptiopn and
first relationship
Resolution of the strong CP problem
It is shown that the quark mass aligns QCD vacuum in such a way that
the strong CP is conserved, resolving the strong CP problem.Comment: 9 pages;v2 slightly rewritten and expanded;v3 a few points

On Topological Susceptibility, Vacuum Energy and Theta Dependence in Gluodynamics
We suggest that the topological susceptibility in gluodynamics can be found
in terms of the gluon condensate using renormalizability and heavy fermion
representation of the anomaly. Analogous relations can be also obtained for
other zero momentum correlation functions involving the topological density
operator. Using these relations, we find the theta dependence of the
condensates , and of the partition function for small theta
and an arbitrary number of colors.Comment: Details of the derivation are clarified, changes in discussions, new
references are adde
The pressure of deconfined QCD for all temperatures and quark chemical potentials
A new method for the evaluation of the perturbative expansion of the QCD
pressure is presented which is valid for all temperatures and quark chemical
potentials in the deconfined phase, and worked out up to and including order
g^4. This new approach unifies several distinct perturbative approaches to the
equation of state, and agrees with dimensional reduction, HDL and HTL
resummation schemes, and the zero-temperature result in their respective ranges
of validity.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, to appear in the proceedings of Strong and

The hamiltonian formulation of QCD in terms of angle variables
For the sake of eliminating gauge variant degrees of freedom we discuss the
way to introduce angular variables in the hamiltonian formulation of QCD. On
the basis of an analysis of Gauss' law constraints a particular choice is made
for the variable transformation from gauge fields to angular field variables.
The resulting formulation is analogous to the one of Bars in terms of corner
variables. Therefore the corner or angle formulation may constitute an useful
starting point for the investigation of the low energy properties of QCD in
terms of gauge invariant degrees of freedom.Comment: email: [email protected]; 7 Pages LaTex Paper to

The Higgs masses and explicit CP violation in the gluino-axion model
In this work, we adress the phenomenological consequences of explicit CP
violation on direct Higgs-boson searches at high energy colliders. Having a
restricted parameter space, we concentrate on the recently proposed
gluino-axion model, and investigate the CP violation capability of the model
subject to the recent experimental data. It is shown that the Higgs masses as
well as their CP compositions are quite sensitive to the supersymmetric CP
phases. The lightest Higgs is found to be nearly CP even to a good
approximation whilst the remaining two heavy scalars do not have definite CP
parities.Comment: 20 pp, 14 eps figs, title is changed, the manuscript is improved

Neutron Electric Dipole Moment with Domain Wall Quarks
We present preliminary results for nucleon dipole moments computed with
domain wall fermions. Our main target is the electric dipole moment of the
neutron arising from the theta term in the gauge part of the QCD lagrangian.
The calculated magnetic dipole moments of the proton and neutron are in rough
accord with experimental values.Comment: 3 pages. Contribution to the proceedings of Lattice 2004 (Fermilab
Two dimensional QCD and abelian bosonization
A bosonized action, that reproduces the structure of the 't Hooft equation

Gauge fixing by unitary transformations in QCD
The unitary gauge fixing technique is applied to the QCD hamiltonian
formulated in terms of angular variables. It is demonstrated that in this
formulation projections on the physical Hilbert space are unnecessary to
separate physical and unphysical degrees of freedom. Therefore the application
of the unitary gauge fixing technique can be extended to the operator level.Comment: email: [email protected]; 8 pages LaTex; Paper to be

An algebraic method for solving the SU(3) Gauss law
A generalisation of existing SU(2) results is obtained. In particular, the
source-free Gauss law for SU(3)-valued gauge fields is solved using a
non-Abelian analogue of the Poincare lemma. When sources are present, the
colour-electric field is divided into two parts in a way similar to the Hodge
decomposition. Singularities due to coinciding eigenvalues of the
colour-magnetic field are also analysed.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX2e; references added, other changes minor; to appear
