The themes of sensual experience, nature, and mysticism in James Dickey's poetry are examined. Dickey's "Poems 1957- 1967" and "The Eye-Beaters, Blood, Victory, Madness, Buckhead and Mercy" are the primary sources for the poems. Selections from a decade of Dickey criticism are also represented. Dickey presents a wide spectrum of attitudes toward acceptance of the physical body, communion with nature, and transcendence of the human condition, but the poems exhibit sufficient uniformity to allow thematic generalizations to be made.

James Dickey's work as an artist grows out of the way he feels about life, and about the world of art. He believes that aesthetic experience can revitilize the reader, that it can give him a new vision. And because of the new vision the artist and the reader are united. The poem, therefore, becomes a very alive, vibrant medium. And during his poetic career James Dickey explores the possibility of poetry as a statement. He is never afraid to push a poem to the limits of experience. The result is sometimes a strange, and grotesque work of art. However, in his best moments James Dickey is capable of loading the poem with intense energy. And it is this energy which he hopes to transfer to the reader so that the reader can see the world with new eyes. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

The motivation of capitalism society keeping to make progress is basis on innovation. The text is established in extended type of Cobb-Douglas production function to discuss if the relationship of long term balance existed between R&D capital stock and gross domestic production. First, Dickey and Fuller mentioned Augmented Dickey Fuller test (ADF test) to examine if all the variables possess unit root particularity. If they do, we can test them by Johansen¡¦s Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) to make cointegration relation numbers and cointegration vectors. According them to describe the long term balance relationships between R&D capital stock and gross domestic production. Conclusion of the text , by ADF test to examine the macroeconomic variables of R&D capital stock and gross domestic production are time series. Johansen¡¦s MLE test examined there¡¦s one cointegration vector existed. Apparently the long term balance relationship existed between the R&D capital stock and the gross domestic production. And we can take the normalized cointegrating coefficients back to the Cobb-Douglas production function to recognize the R&D capital stock will be the positive function of the gross domestic production. Thus we can get in R&D expenses to make the economic growth.

Os processos estocásticos usuais assumem que as marginais são contínuas e, em geral, não são adequados para modelar séries de contagem. Portanto, surge a necessidade de investigar metodologias apropriadas para séries temporais com distribuições marginais discretas. Em particular, o estudo da presença de raízes unitárias e o comportamento sazonal do processo de valores inteiros motivam uma vertente de pesquisa de grande interesse para aplicações práticas e são os principais objetivos desta pesquisa. Nesse contexto, apresentamos o teste de Dikey & Fuller (1979) e verificamos o comportamento do teste, através de ensaios de Monte Carlo, em processos autorregressivos de valores inteiros de ordem um, quando o processo apresenta raiz unitária. Os pontos críticos empíricos da estatística de teste do teste de Dickey-Fuller, para vários valores do percentil α, são calculados quando o teste é utilizado em processos INAR(1) com erros Poisson, para diversos valores do parâmetro λ. Comparações entre a utilização do teste de Dickey-Fuller em processos com marginais contínuas e discretas também são abordadas. No que tange à sazonalidade em processos de contagem, é proposto um modelo de valores inteiros com estrutura sazonal baseado no modelo de Al-Osh & Alzaid (1987). As principais propriedades do modelo proposto são derivadas, tais como os momentos, a função de autocovariância e a função de autocorrelação. Ensaios de Monte Carlo são realizados para comparar os vícios e erros quadráticos médios de três estimadores para os parâmetros do modelo proposto. Como motivação do uso da metodologia sugerida, a série do índice da qualidade do ar da cidade de Cariacica-ES foi analisada
