Ryan Christensen and Dr. Don Chapman, English One of the marks of Old English poetic style is the compound word. Malcolm Godden calls compounds “the essence of Anglo-Saxon poetic language.”(1) The lexicon of words exclusive to poetry includes many compounds, and many of these compounds are used only once in the Old English corpus. Thus […]
ORCA Scholarship Research Results
Sariah Choucair and Dr. Dilworth Parkinson, Asian and Near Eastern Languages During my time in Beirut I came to know myself.

Modeling Power Consumption in Field Programmable Logic Devices
Benjamin L. Bullough and Dr. Michael Wirthlin, Electrical and Computer Engineering Some of the most important application areas for integrated circuits are in portable communication and computing devices.
