Medieval Studies In America And American Medievalism, Herwig Wolfram Jan 1981

Medieval Studies In America And American Medievalism, Herwig Wolfram

Quidditas

As far as one can tell, Ernst Robert Curtius appears to have been the first Central European so fascinated by American interest in the Middle Ages that he promised a study on the subject. He called this particular interplay oof academic, amateur, and popular interest "American Medievalism." According to his bibliography, the projected work never appeared, but a lecture he was asked to present to an American audience in 1949 was published in both the North American and Hispano-American editions of his famous book European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages.

Catharsis In Aristotle, The Renaissance, And Elsewhere, Thomas Clayton Jan 1981

Catharsis In Aristotle, The Renaissance, And Elsewhere, Thomas Clayton

Quidditas

In an essay on "Shakespeare and the Kinds of Drama," Stephen Orgel presents an appealing and sympathetic view of Renaissance dramatic-generic theory and practice as original, capacious, and flexible, concluding that, "like Scaliger, Shakespeare thought of genres not as sets of rules but as sets of expectations and possibilities." In relation to this finding, we should perhaps be content to be "unclear about tragic catharsis," because "at least we know it is there, convincing us that tragedy works—even if we do not know how or on whom" (p.120). As the Renaissance read Aristotle, "tragedy achieved its end by purging …

The American Career Of Henry Bouquet, 1755-1765, Louis M. Waddell Jan 1981

The American Career Of Henry Bouquet, 1755-1765, Louis M. Waddell

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

It has not been our good fortune to experience this afternoon the bright invigorating October day I had anticipated. I wanted to introduce Henry Bouquet by a reference to his reliance on the beautiful October climate as he fearlessly marched fifteen hundred soldiers into dangerous Indian lands in Ohio, in 1764. Bouquet relied on the clear dry weather to speed his march, and on the absence of foliage to protect his men from any surprise attacks like the one that had decimated General Edward Braddock's military column, of roughly the same size, at a crossing of the Monongahela River on …

Model For Coal-Fired Reactors, Philip J. Smith, Thomas H. Fletcher, L. Douglas Smoot Jan 1981

Model For Coal-Fired Reactors, Philip J. Smith, Thomas H. Fletcher, L. Douglas Smoot

Faculty Publications

An axisymmetric, elliptic model has been developed for analysis of confined, turbulent coal-laden diffusion flames. The scheme is Eulerian for gases and Lagrangian for particles. The approach emphasizes the turbulent fluid mechanics of the mixing-limited gas phase reaction processes. The two-equation (k-─ e) turbulence model is used for closure. Particle drag and turbulent particle diffusion are also modeled. Gaseous combustion is modeled with a probability density function for the mixture fraction. Fluctuations in mixing of inlet streams and coal off-gas are considered. Coal pyrolysis and oxidation reaction processes are assumed to be slow with respect to the turbulent time scale. …

Sodium Flux Ratio In Voltage-Clamped Squid Giant Axons, David D. Busath, Ted Begenisich Jan 1981

Sodium Flux Ratio In Voltage-Clamped Squid Giant Axons, David D. Busath, Ted Begenisich

Faculty Publications

The sodium flux ratio across the axolemma of internally perfused, voltage-clamped giant axons of Loligo pealei has been measured at various membrane potentials. The flux ratio exponent obtained from these measurements was about unity and independent of membrane voltage over the 50 mV range from about -20 to +30 mV. These results, combined with previous measurements of ion permeation through sodium channels, show that the sodium channel behaves like a multi-ion pore with two ion binding sites that are rarely simultaneously occupied by sodium.

The Book Of Job And The Modern View Of Depression, Morton Allan Kapusta, Solomon Frank Oct 1980

The Book Of Job And The Modern View Of Depression, Morton Allan Kapusta, Solomon Frank

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

The Biblical Book of Job is a wisdom book. Wisdom, in this context, refers to the intellectual discipline taught by the sages of ancient Israel to provide professionals with a realistic approach to the problems of life. Chapter 30 of the Book of Job is a key-index of ideas that, if followed through the book, discloses a modern scientifically accurate description of a depression that, at times, was life-threatening. There are practical clinical clues to distinguish between normal mourning and depression, as well as aids to the differential diagnosis of somatic symptoms that may arise from depression. A timeless model …

Phenology Of Desert Shrubs In Southern Nye County, Nevada, T. L. Ackerman, E. M. Romney, A. Wallace, J. E. Kinnear Oct 1980

Phenology Of Desert Shrubs In Southern Nye County, Nevada, T. L. Ackerman, E. M. Romney, A. Wallace, J. E. Kinnear

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

This study was done to document the variability in time of phenological events at different locations on the Nevada Test Site. Phenological events for desert shrubs were recorded, and rainfall and temperature data were gathered for four to six years at eight sites that are located within the northern Mojave Desert, the southern Great Basin Desert, and the transitional zone between them. Results have been graphically displayed to show the variability in phenological activity encountered during the study period and also to show the general correlation between these events and the environmental regime that triggered a particular phenological stage among …

Depth Distribution Of Roots Of Some Perennial Plants In The Nevada Test Site Area Of The Northern Mojave Desert, A. Wallace, E. M. Romney, J. W. Cha Oct 1980

Depth Distribution Of Roots Of Some Perennial Plants In The Nevada Test Site Area Of The Northern Mojave Desert, A. Wallace, E. M. Romney, J. W. Cha

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

The root systems of 48 perennial plants, representing nine species from the Rock Valley area within the northern Mojave Desert, were excavated by 10 cm depth increments to determine, by depth of soil, the distribution of roots larger than about 1/2 mm diameter. The depth of the root zone of all species was relatively shallow and obviously limited by depth of penetration of precipitation (about 10 cm mean annual rainfall).
There were species differences, however, in distribution of roots. Even though a sizeable proportion of the root systems was in the first 10 cm of soil, this portion consisted largely …

Persistence Of 14C Labeled Carbon In Larrea Tridentata Up To 40 Months After Photosynthetic Fixation In The Northern Mojave Desert, A. Wallace, E. M. Romney, J. W. Cha Oct 1980

Persistence Of 14C Labeled Carbon In Larrea Tridentata Up To 40 Months After Photosynthetic Fixation In The Northern Mojave Desert, A. Wallace, E. M. Romney, J. W. Cha

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

Larreo tridentata (Sesse Moc. ex DC) Cov. exposed to 14CO2 retained about 20 percent of its 14C after 16 and also after 26 months. In leaves, however, a lower specific activity was present at 26 months than at 16months, and a smaller percentage of 14C in the plant occurred in leaves at 26 months than at 16 months (3 percent vs 10 percent). This indicates some, but little, reuse of carbon from the structural components of the plants. The strong tendency of the species to retain this carbon may be related to a survival mechanism. After …

Jacob Burckhardt, The Historian, As Analyst Of His Age, Walter L. Mullen Oct 1980

Jacob Burckhardt, The Historian, As Analyst Of His Age, Walter L. Mullen

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Often the historian is faced with the question of how the study of the past relates to the present. Even when Leopold von Ranke's admonition is followed, and we try to tell history "as it essentially was" and eliminate subjectivity, purely personal opinions are difficult to keep out of formal academic work. Even when objectivity is attempted, the historian will have personal convictions about the object of his study in relation to his own existence.

Observations On Seasonal Variation In Desert Arthropods In Central Nevada, Robert D. Pietruszka Sep 1980

Observations On Seasonal Variation In Desert Arthropods In Central Nevada, Robert D. Pietruszka

Great Basin Naturalist

Pitfall and Malaise trap collections from terrestrial arthropod populations in central Nevada were analyzed for four trapping periods during the 1978 growing season. Mites (Acarina) and ants (Formicidae) were the taxa represented by the largest numbers of individuals in pitfall trap collections throughout the season; Malaise collections were composed mainly of aerial taxa (largely Diptera and Hymenoptera). Peak arthropod abundance was recorded during mid-June. Collection diversities for both trapping methods were generally low due to the abundance of a few taxa. Evidence for spatial heterogeneity in arthropod populations was meager; temporal heterogeneity in these populations, however, was more apparent.
