Mormons And The Media, 1898-2003: A Selected, Annotated, And Indexed Bibliography (With Suggestions For Future Research), Sherry Baker, Daniel Stout

BYU Studies

Print, electronic, and other forms of communications media have been consistently perceived and characterized by leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as tools to assist in spreading and gospel message throughout the world. President Spencer W. Kimball said, "Technology will help spread the gospel.... We shall use the inventions the Lord has given us to awaken interest and acquaint people of the world with [gospel] truths." More recently, President Gordon B. Hinckley said, "The Lord has inspired skilled men and women in developing new technologies which we can use to our great advantage in …

Effects Of Solvent Model Flexibility On Aqueous Electrolyte Behavior Between Electrodes, Richard L. Rowley, John N. Harb, Clint G. Guymon, Matthew L. Hunsaker, Douglas Henderson

Faculty Publications

Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out for aqueous electrolyte solutions between model electrode surfaces. The effect of solvent model flexibility on bult and double layer properties was observed for electrode surface charge densities of 0, 0.1 and 0.2 and ion concentrations of 0, 0.5 and 1 M. Two flexible models were used to isolate the effects of flexibility from the effects of a change in the condensed-phase dipole moment. Model flexibility increases the pure water self-diffusion coefficient while a larger liquid diple moment substantially decreases it. There is an increase in ion contact adsorption and counter ion affinity with …

The 1710 Von Graffenried Settlement Of New Bern, North Carolina, Lewis B. Rohrbach Cg

Swiss American Historical Society Review

In the following study I have endeavored to identify and document the lives and descendants of all 752 Swiss and Germans who came from Bern, Switzerland and London, England in 1710 to found New Bern , North Carolina. There were approximately 177 families in the migration traveling on three ships, of whom 51 families were Swiss, 106 were German, and approximately 20 families died out entirely on the voyage so that we do not know their names or nationality . The much better known 1710 New York settlement involved 10 ships and 847 families, but although the New Bern settlement …

Cooperative Path Planning For Timing Critical Missions, Timothy W. Mclain, Randal W. Beard

Faculty Publications

This paper presents a cooperative path planning approach for teams of vehicles operating under timing constraints. A cooperative control approach based on coordination variables and coordination functions is introduced and applied to cooperative timing problems. Three types of timing constraints are considered: simultaneous arrival, tight sequencing, and loose sequencing. Simulation results demonstrating the approach are presented.

Microstructure Sensitive Design Of An Orthotropic Plate Subjected To Tensile Load, Brent L. Adams, Mark Lyons, Joshua R. Houskamp, Surya R. Kalidindi

Faculty Publications

Financial support for this work was provided by the Army Research Office, Proposal No. 42566-MS, Dr. David Stepp, Program Director and Army Research Lab, Dr. Scott Schoenfeld, Point of Contact. Microstructure Sensitive Design (MSD) is a newly developed mathematical framework that facilitates rigorous solutions to inverse problems in microstructure design of materials. In this paper, this methodology is applied to an orthotropic thin plate containing a circular hole subjected to an in-plane uniaxial tensile load. The primary design objective is to maximize the load carrying capacity of the plate while avoiding plastic deformation in the plate. Making use of the …

Macroinvertebrate Community Structure And Related Environmental Variables In Two Forks Of The Virgin River, Utah, Terence P. Boyle, Matthew J. Strand

Western North American Naturalist

Using multivariate analysis techniques, we analyzed variation in the structure of the benthic macroinvertebrate community in the North Fork and East Fork of the Virgin River in and above Zion National Park in concert with a number of naturally occurring and anthropogenic environmental variables. Correspondence analysis revealed that the community structure in the 2 streams was markedly different despite occurring in areas similar in topography, elevation, and terrestrial vegetation cover. Subsequent analyses of the 2 streams separately using canonical correspondence analysis to test for strength of association of environmental variables with variations in benthic macroinvertebrate community structure revealed that communities …

Pinyon-Juniper Woodlands In Zion National Park, Utah, Kimball T. Harper, Stewart C. Sanderson, E. Durant Mcarthur

Western North American Naturalist

Juniperus osteosperma–Pinus monophylla or P. edulis (P-J) woodlands are the most widespread plant community in Zion National Park (ZNP), southwestern Utah. These woodlands dominate nearly half of the park's land area. Our study of this vegetational complex is based on a sample consisting of 115 macroplots (each 0.01 ha in area) objectively distributed across the entire area of ZNP. We recognize 3 subtypes within the P-J complex: Juniperus osteosperma(Utah juniper) alone, juniper with P. monophylla (single-leaf pinyon), and juniper with P. edulis (two-leaf pinyon). The 2 pinyon pines rarely occur together, and thus the foregoing subtypes do not overlap …

Protecting Sensitive Credential Content During Trust Negotiation, Ryan D. Jarvis

Theses and Dissertations

Keeping sensitive information private in a public world is a common concern to users of digital credentials. A digital credential may contain sensitive attributes certifying characteristics about its owner. X.509v3, the most widely used certificate standard, includes support for certificate extensions that make it possible to bind multiple attributes to a public key contained in the certificate. This feature, although convenient, potentially exploits the certificate holder's private information contained in the certificate. There are currently no privacy considerations in place to protect the disclosure of attributes in a certificate. This thesis focuses on protecting sensitive credential content during trust negotiation …

Sgh-Bank Linkage Program In India: An Overview, Hema Bansal

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

The formal financial institutions in India have ventured into microfinance in a massive way by adopting the SHG-Bank Linkage Program model. The present paper makes an attempt to review the performance of the program in different states of India and across three major institutions—commercial banks, cooperatives, and the regional rural banks. The study also presents vital information about the leading NGOs with major credit linkages in Indian states.

Family And Career Decision-Making Among Lds Women At Brigham Young University, Jennifer M. Vigil, Bonnie Ballif-Spanvill, Rebecca R. Nichols

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

This study explores how college-aged women who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) make decisions about choosing a career or staying home full-time. It examines how committed they are to multiple role planning, what influence their mothers have on their decision-making process, how much they know about the roles they will assume in the future, how certain they are about choosing these roles, and how involved they are in the decision-making process itself. The LDS Decision-Making (LDSDM) scale was answered by 149 junior and senior women at Brigham Young University. Four factors were found …

Freedom Of Choice And Hypnotic Communication In Psychotherapy And Public Address, Richard German Ellsworth

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

Historical, theoretical and methodological aspects of clinical hypnosis relevant to free agency are reviewed, including therapeutic hypnotic communication techniques used by effective public speakers. Hypnosis is defined as specific techniques to capture and hold someone's attention, and is herein considered as simply a more sophisticated method of communication " which some effective public speakers and therapists do naturally, but which with study of these effective communication forms, therapists and speakers may learn to do with greater facility. Methods of applying specific hynotic techniques to enhance the efficacy of psychotherapy and public address are demonstrated, including indirect suggestion, rapport, presupposition, embedded …

The Enemy Within Islam, Laina Farhat-Holzman

Comparative Civilizations Review

The recent spread of political, radical Islam around the world has captured the attention of the secular world. This movement has launched a spate of violence and unrest, culminating in the al-Qaeda attack on the United States on September 11, 2001. Public interest in Islam has not been so keen since the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979—another event that took the world by surprise. Political observers have pinpointed the Saudis as the source of the problem. Not only were the majority of the terrorist bombers Saudi, but also they were thoroughly indoctrinated into the severe Muslim Wahhabi sect that …
