Healthy And Unhealthy Forms Of Religiousness Manifested By Psychotherapy Clients: An Empirical Investigation, P. Scott Richards, Steven A. Smith, Lanay F. Davis Dec 1989

Healthy And Unhealthy Forms Of Religiousness Manifested By Psychotherapy Clients: An Empirical Investigation, P. Scott Richards, Steven A. Smith, Lanay F. Davis

Faculty Publications

This study investigated whether 49 Mormon psychotherapy clients and 51 Mormon nonclients differed on a number of religious and psychological variables. The data were analyzed using analysis of covariance, controlling for social desirability, education level, and occupation status. Clients scored higher than nonclients on shame and lower on existential well-being. There were no significant differences between clients and nonclients on religious orientation, religious wellbeing, moral reasoning, and guilt. Females scored much higher on guilt, and female clients scored much higher on shame; there were no other gender differences. Subjects showed a preference for Stage 4 moral reasoning, and 92% were …


Preparing For A Career, Paul Grossenbacher Nov 1989

Preparing For A Career, Paul Grossenbacher

Swiss American Historical Society Review

At the end of the fifth school year, we all had the opportunity to take an intelligence test and, if you passed that test, you then could go to secondary school, which is similar to high school here. Even though you were only a sixth grader, the subjects were algebra, physics, chemistry, and foreign languages. It is very important in Switzerland that one speaks several languages because in Switzerland, a country less than one-third the size of the state of Wisconsin, four official languages are spoken. About 19% speak a real good French, about 10% are Italian speaking, only 1% …

Searching For A Job In The United States, Paul Grossenbacher

Swiss American Historical Society Review

It was my brother's wedding day and, since I was best man in the wedding, I took a day off from work and went to Burgdorf. Ernst Josi said, "Paul, since you go through Bern, why don't you go to the American Embassy and apply for a visa to go to America?


Leaving The Farm, Paul Grossenbacher Nov 1989

Leaving The Farm, Paul Grossenbacher

Swiss American Historical Society Review

It was good to be back home again, but Verena enjoyed her first trip to Switzerland very much and she has made about five more trips since. She could learn where her ancestors came from. I was the owner of a farm then, and it was also the dairy which supplied New Glarus and later Monticello with milk. It was a good business, but we all really had to work too hard in those days. But we made a little money, and the day came when we could burn the mortgage.

On Being A Wisconsin Farmhand, Paul Grossenbacher Nov 1989

On Being A Wisconsin Farmhand, Paul Grossenbacher

Swiss American Historical Society Review

The winter of 1929 is long remembered for the deep snow and the cold. Highway 69 from New Glarus to Monroe was closed many times and the mountains of snow the snowplows pushed were reaching the telephone wires.

Note On Fungi In Small Mammals From The Nothofagus Forest In Argentina, Javier G. Perez Calvo, Zane Maser, Chris Maser Oct 1989

Note On Fungi In Small Mammals From The Nothofagus Forest In Argentina, Javier G. Perez Calvo, Zane Maser, Chris Maser

Great Basin Naturalist

Fungal spores from the same taxa of fungi that occur in the Pacific Northwest are reported from digestive tracts of 31 rodents of 5 genera from the Nothofagus forest of southern Argentina. Mycophagy (fungal feeding) by forest rodents has been well documented in North America (Fogel and Trappe 1978, Maser et al. 1978, Mclntire 1984, and others), Europe (Blaschke and Bäumler 1986, Durrieu et al. 1984), and Australia (Malajczuk et al. 1987). The purpose of this note is to report fungi consumed by rodents of the Argentine Andinian Patagonic forest (see Dimitri 1972, McQueen 1977, and Ward 1965 for a …

Molecular Dynamics Simulation Of Real-Fluid Mutual Diffusion Coefficients With The Lennard-Jones Potential Model, Richard L. Rowley, J. M. Stoker Sep 1989

Molecular Dynamics Simulation Of Real-Fluid Mutual Diffusion Coefficients With The Lennard-Jones Potential Model, Richard L. Rowley, J. M. Stoker

Faculty Publications

Mutual diffusion coefficients for selected alkanes in carbon tetrachloride were calculated using molecular dynamics and Lennard-Jones (LJ) potentials. Use of effective spherical LJ parameters is desirable when possible for two reasons: (i) computer time is saved due to the simplicity of the model and (ii) the number of parameters in the model is kept to a minimum. Results of this study indicate that mutual diffusivity is particularly sensitive to the molecular size cross parameter, σ12, and that the commonly used Lorentz–Berthelot rules are inadequate for mixtures in which the component structures differ significantly. Good agreement between simulated and experimental mutual …


Probabilistic Segmentation Of Myocardial Tissue By Deterministic Relaxation, William A. Barrett, Shawn C. Becker, Jerome A. Broekhuijsen Sep 1989

Probabilistic Segmentation Of Myocardial Tissue By Deterministic Relaxation, William A. Barrett, Shawn C. Becker, Jerome A. Broekhuijsen

Faculty Publications

A recently-developed probabilistic model for automatically segmenting regions of interest in abdominal CT scans has been adapted to the challenging task of segmenting myocardial tissue in Cine CT scans. A system has been implemented on relatively low-cost hardware which performs such segmentations. Special techniques have been developed to improve consistency and accuracy. Early results of testing this new modality are encouraging and promising. Based on observations from experimentation, new directions for future work have been identified.


A Relaxation Algorithm For Segmentation Of The Endocardial Surface From Cine Ct, William A. Barrett, Bryan S. Morse Sep 1989

A Relaxation Algorithm For Segmentation Of The Endocardial Surface From Cine Ct, William A. Barrett, Bryan S. Morse

Faculty Publications

A relaxation algorithm has been developed for automated segmentation of the endocardial surface from contrast Cine CT images. The image is contoured at an initial density threshold and a one-dimensional edge operator is applied orthogonally to each point of the contour. Output from the operator is used to generate a histogram, the mode of which identifies a new threshold. The image is contoured again at the new threshold and the process is repeated. Iteration continues with successive threshold estimates converging to a stable value in the region of the endocardial surface. Computer-determined thresholds compare favorably with manual segmentation while reducing …


Interactive Measurement Of Three-Dimensional Cardiac Morphology, William A. Barrett, Shawn C. Becker Sep 1989

Interactive Measurement Of Three-Dimensional Cardiac Morphology, William A. Barrett, Shawn C. Becker

Faculty Publications

Techniques have been developed for extracting three-dimensional (3D) measurements directly and interactively from 3D representations of Cine CT images. In order to obtain 3D measurements the anatomical surface is interrogated directly through the use of a 3D graphical "probe" (line). The probe is interactively positioned and stretched between any visible surface points to allow direct capture of 3D (linear) distance. Distance measurements are updated in real time as the probe dynamically "penetrates" any intervening anatomy while providing valuable depth cuing for visual feedback and probe placement. Curvilinear distance is obtained by stretching the probe over multiple surface points. The probe …
