The primary purpose of this study was to design and validate a measure of teacher knowledge of Universal Design for Assessment (TK-UDA). Guided by a validity framework, a number of inferences, assumptions, and evidences supported this investigation. By addressing a series of research questions, evidence was garnered for the use of the measure to describe what teachers know about assessment accessibility issues through their application of seven UDA principles. The investigation used research designs and sampling procedures specific to each research question. The TK-UDA was designed to capture depth of knowledge, from background to declarative to applied, through a variety of item types. Internal, external, and teacher reviews provided evidence to support the content validity of the measure, and, based on the feedback from these reviews, the measure was revised to improve content and clarity. The measure was then implemented online; a purposeful sample of experts and inservice and preservice teachers was invited to participate in the study. It was anticipated that these participants would represent a range of knowledge of UDA. Following measure implementation, analyses were conducted to evaluate whether performance on items accurately reflected a continuum of teacher knowledge. Evidence of discriminant/criterion-related validity was examined by evaluating group differences. Based on results from t -tests and MANOVAs, no significant differences between groups (based on level of expertise) were found. Item Response Theory (IRT) scaling of items along a continuum indicated that declarative knowledge items were generally less difficult than applied knowledge items. IRT scaling of person scores represented a rather narrow range of knowledge within the sample. Reliability estimates from the IRT scaling and test-retest indicated strong item reliability, relatively weak person reliability, and satisfactory test-retest reliability, respectively. To obtain evidence regarding the usefulness of the measure to determine professional development needs, a Kruskal-Wallis rank-order test was conducted to evaluate the differential difficulty of UDA elements within the applied knowledge section. This provided initial evidence for identifying professional development needs at the element level. These results provide information that will guide further instrument development and future research in this area.

The introduction of bound ions into these materials adds great versatility because it can affect solubility, aggregation properties, doping chemistry, luminescence, and response to electrical stimuli. Despite ionic density being a central materials parameter in ionically functionalized conjugated polymers (IFCPs), it has been explored only in limited ranges. The primary advance reported in this dissertation is the development of three complementary synthetic routes to anionic and cationic poly(fluorene)s where the density of ionic functional groups was systematically varied between 0.05 and 0.5 per phenylene unit. There have been very few reports of IFCPs in this range. The three routes all use the Suzuki polycondensation reaction (SPR) to form poly[(R-fluorene)-co-alt-(R'-fluorene)] (PFF) IFCPs, and they differ from one another in when ionic functionality is introduced to the polymer. The development of these approaches grew out of studies on the SPR as it applies to ionically functionalized monomers, specifically, complications created by the two-phase nature of typical Suzuki couplings. In the first route, ions are added to the monomer and directly polymerized into the polymer using a single-phase SPR made possible by using oligoether functionality and a judiciously chosen solvent system. This route was used in the synthesis of a family of sulfonate and oligoether containing PFFs. In the second and third routes, ionic functionality is added after the polymer is formed either in solution or in solid films, respectively. The use of all nonionic monomers during the SPR avoided the complications encountered with two-phase reactions involving ionic monomers. The precursor polymers synthesized for these routes included a family of hexyl and bromohexyl containing PFFs and a family of oligoether and bromohexyl containing PFFs. The former were used to demonstrate post-polymerization quaternization to form cationic PFFs in solid films, and the later were quaternized in solution to yield soluble cationic PFFs. All of the polymers had very similar optical properties with the wavelengths of maximum absorption and emission in the range of 370-385 and 416-425 nm, respectively, and molecular weights greater than 10kDa and exhibited both positive and negative solvatofluorchromism due to aggregation phenomena. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

This dissertation argues that American modernist poets construct models of desire based on the rejection of sensual objects and a subsequent redirection of desire toward the self and the creative mind. In addition, these models of desire result in a conception of subjects as whole, discrete, and isolated. In the first chapter, I distinguish between Walt Whitman's sensualist model of desire and Emily Dickinson's intellectualist mode that defers satisfaction. I contend that Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens, T. S. Eliot, and H.D. (Hilda Doolittle) develop from Dickinson's perspective of deferred satisfaction to an outright rejection of physical desire. The manner and implications of this reorganization of desire differ among these poets, as do the poetic techniques they utilize, but underlying these differences is a related refusal to pursue objects of sensual pleasure. Pound withdraws desire from the world by turning objects into static images; desire is then able to flourish in the creative mind. Stevens allows the imagination to remake the world, creating manifold abstractions for subjects who otherwise reject sensuality. The second chapter provides a close reading of Eliot's The Waste Land to show how the presentation of sexual futility leads to a poetic experience of separation as a means of spiritual reformation. The third chapter reads H.D.'s Trilogy as a contemplation of the destruction of World War II and the persistent, unified self that outlasts it. Rather than interacting with this devastated world, H.D. insists that desire must be redirected toward the effort of spiritual redemption. In the fourth chapter, Elizabeth Bishop begins to question the deliberate rejection of the world. She sees a world that reasserts itself and imagines a subject who, though still yearning for unity, must admit an inescapably physical environment. The conclusion considers how postwar American poets continue to dissolve the subject and release desire into the world, emphasizing the present moment rather than a lasting, unified self. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

A print copy of this title is available through the UO Libraries under the call number: SCA Archiv Jacobson-Leong 1993 Since 1977, when Jenny Holzer first introduced her Truisms signs to the public, the surreal quality of her art has increased with her successively more dramatic installations and messages. Juxtaposing light and dark, impersonal media with personal texts and the future with the past, Holzer's ability to fill and command large areas of space (both public and private) has won her international acclaim and recognition. The sites for her installations have included sections of the Dia Foundation in Manhattan, as well as an immense 535-foot electronic, spiraling sign along the walls of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (1989). Holzer's most ambitious project to date is The Venice Installation ; in 1990, she was selected to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale, a prestigious international exhibition. There, Holzer's installation won the elite Golden Lion Award for Best Pavilion. Jenny Holzer currently lives and works in New York City.1 Whether in a public or private forum, Holzer's signs and installations manipulate the "official voice" of public announcements, which are accepted by the general public as important and true. Through verbal dislocation--placing familiar words in alien contexts--she undermines the unwavering authority of this official voice, thereby jolting viewers from complacent acceptance of any information. In this thesis, I hope both to illustrate the artistic and social contexts from which Holzer's works developed, and to suggest the ramifications of Holzer's provocative texts from a greater perspective. As in any historical research and documentation, it is difficult to gain a global perspective on any subject from a contemporary point of view. Generally, it is only in retrospect that one can recognize the impact an individual and/or movement has had on their society. However, working with the assumption that much can be learned about a society and culture through the art it produces, I hope to demonstrate through my research how art is used not just as a means of contemplation or "abstract personal expression", but that it is also used to catalyze action, and if necessary, political action. With this idea, the actual product of an artist's creation is secondary to the revolutionary consciousness that it can awaken in its viewers, the far-reaching, political result of artistic provocation. In addition, I shall examine--both in theory and practice--the creative process behind a work of art. Rather than simply turning to life, Holzer's art seems to be compelled by life, and it is this element of immediacy and provocation in her works that I would like to explore. Holzer's works demand a creative response from viewers, and while this response will generally remain on a cerebral level-rethinking cultural assumptions that are made daily--in this thesis will take my own personal response one step further. Verbal analysis of art is ultimately an analysis "at arm's length", therefore my final goal in the scope of this paper is to produce a creative (i.e., artistic) response to Holzer's works. This will consist of a series of drawings/collages and explanatory notes, an artistic interpretation and response to the many questions raised in the course of my research on this subject. Some of the issues or topics I will address concern: the use of language itself as an artistic medium; the creation of semantic meaning in words and images; the conflicting and fragile relationship between cooperation and corruption; and the struggle against power relationships in society from an inside and outside perspective. By responding to Holzer's artistic provocation with my own artistic interpretation, I hope to demonstrate the chain-reaction dialogue that art can catalyze. For, as one critic describes, art "can do what has always been within its province to do: offer a unique insight, vision or perspective which can heighten or resonate with one's own consciousness.

This watermark can be used to exfiltrate co-residency data, compromising isolation assurances. While previous work depends on virtual hypervisor resource management, our approach is difficult to defend without costly underutilization of the physical machine. We evaluate co-resident watermarking under many configurations, from a local lab environment to production cloud environments. We demonstrate the ability to initiate a covert channel of 4 bits per second, and we can confirm co-residency with a target VM instance in less than 10 seconds. We also show that passive load measurement of the target and behavior profiling is possible. Our investigation demonstrates the need for the careful design of hardware to be used in the cloud.
