Efficient, Scalable, and Versatile Application and System Transaction Management for Direct Storage Layers
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-May-12)A good storage system provides efficient, flexible, and expressive abstractions that allow for more concise and non-specific code to be written at the application layer. However, because I/O operations can differ dramatically ... -
El autor frente al personaje: La niebla entre la realidad y la ficciÇün en las obras maestras de Cervantes y Unamuno
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-May-11)This thesis is a comparative analysis of Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quijote and Miguel de Unamuno's Niebla with a central focus on the ways in which the authors blur the line between fiction and reality. Bearing in mind the ... -
El hombre caido y el angel masculino en la literatura peninsular del siglo XIX
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-12)This dissertation examines two previously unexplored concepts in Spanish nineteenth-century culture, those of the fallen man and the male angel. It explores these two categories in canonical texts such as Tormento (1884), ... -
