In Memoriam: William Wallace Newby (1902–1977), William H. Behle

Great Basin Naturalist

W. W. Newby, professor of biology at the University of Utah from 1927 to 1971, was renowned as a great teacher and a clear and forceful writer and for his meticulous research in invertebrate embryology. Ancillary skills were counseling (especially of premedical students), illustrating, wood crafting, and paper preserving. Some of his writings pertained to the history of research in the biological sciences at the University of Utah. His specialty areas in teaching were embryology and genetics, and he served as chairman of the Department of Genetics and Cytology from the year of its creation in 1948 until 1962. The …

Dwarf Mistletoe–Pandora Moth Interaction And Its Contribution To Ponderosa Pine Mortality In Arizona, Michael R. Wagner, Robert L. Mathiasen Jul 1985

Dwarf Mistletoe–Pandora Moth Interaction And Its Contribution To Ponderosa Pine Mortality In Arizona, Michael R. Wagner, Robert L. Mathiasen

Great Basin Naturalist

The interaction between Southwestern dwarf mistletoe, Arceuthobium vaginatum subspecies cryptopodum, infestation and defoliation by the pandora moth, Coloradia pandora pandora, on the Kaibab Plateau in Arizona was evaluated. Heavy defoliation of ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa, in 1979 and 1981 resulted in mortality of individual trees in areas of heavy dwarf mistletoe infestation. Postmortem evaluation of ponderosa pines indicated that dead trees had a significantly higher dwarf mistletoe rating than did nearby paired live trees. Of 25 tree pairs evaluated, only two live trees had higher dwarf mistletoe ratings than the paired dead tree. Mean dwarf mistletoe ratings …

Tradition And Individualism: Hans Banziger's Books On Swiss And German Literature, Marianne Burkhard Jun 1985

Tradition And Individualism: Hans Banziger's Books On Swiss And German Literature, Marianne Burkhard

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Over the years, I have seen Hans Banziger here and there, on both sides of the Atlantic. His slender figure would appear in the midst of people crowding lecture rooms at meetings of the Modern Language Association in New York or Chicago, his smile would suddenly greet me, in the summer, at the library in Zurich, and whenever possible he would attend the annual meeting of the Swiss American Historical Society, an intent listener often adding thoughtful comments or questions. Rather short in stature, his grey hair closely cropped, he has always been, for me, an example of the "Swiss" …

Statistical Assumption-Making In Library Collection Assessment: Peccadilloes And Pitfalls, Richard Hacken Jun 1985

Statistical Assumption-Making In Library Collection Assessment: Peccadilloes And Pitfalls, Richard Hacken

Faculty Publications

Assessing library collections in the Semiconductor Age necessarily involves a heavy use of quantitative data. The assumptions made during the process of gathering, manipulating, and reporting library statistics may or may not be valid ones. Objective and vigilant scrutiny, therefore, can make the difference between an assessment that adds to a greater knowledge of the collection and one that only adds greater bulk to The File. Among the areas affected by statistical assumptions are (in lay terms): the sample, the survey, the percentage, the average, the degree of accuracy.

Tundra Vegetation Of Three Cirque Basins In The Northern San Juan Mountains, Colorado, Mary Lou Rottman, Emily L. Hartman Jan 1985

Tundra Vegetation Of Three Cirque Basins In The Northern San Juan Mountains, Colorado, Mary Lou Rottman, Emily L. Hartman

Great Basin Naturalist

The vegetation of three alpine cirque basins in the northern San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado was inventoried and analyzed for the degree of specificity shown by vascular plant communities for certain types of habitats identified as representative of the basins. A total of 197 vascular plant species representing 31 families was inventoried. Growth forms of all species were noted and a growth form spectrum for all of the communities was derived. The caespitose monocot and erect dicot growth forms are the most important growth forms among the community dominants. The most common growth form among all species is the …

Unusual Social Feeding And Soaring By The Common Raven (Corvus Corax), Clayton M. White, Merle Tanner-White Jan 1985

Unusual Social Feeding And Soaring By The Common Raven (Corvus Corax), Clayton M. White, Merle Tanner-White

Great Basin Naturalist

A flock of some 1000 ravens, not associated with night roosts, was seen during the breeding season. Some were feeding on the ground while others soared in the air above them. It is suggested that the large soaring flock acted as information transfers for feeding conditions.

Deception And Distance In Béroul's Tristan: A Reconsideration, Norris J. Lacy Jan 1985

Deception And Distance In Béroul's Tristan: A Reconsideration, Norris J. Lacy

Quidditas

Some years ago, I suggested that the irony and the pervasive equivocations that characterize the text of Béroul's Tristan have the effect of precluding, on the narrator's part, an implicit ethical endorsement of the characters. Although that is still my view, I went on, perhaps too incautiously, to question Béroul's narrative reliability. Considering the importance of such matters for our understanding of Béroul's art, it is not inappropriate to reconsider this problem. In fact, I think it reasonable now to begin with the assertion that, although his work is full of ambiguities, ironies, and tricks, Béroul's narrator never deceives his …

Chapter Ii: Chicago And The Danish Settlement Jan 1985

Chapter Ii: Chicago And The Danish Settlement

The Bridge

If two words characterized Chicago in its first halfcentury, they were "growth" and "change." In 1840 Chicago was a small prairie town of 4,500 inhabitants. But the forces that brought immigrants to the Midwest had already begun to transform Chicago. With the development of trade and commerce between the Midwest and the East, better transportation over land and water became essential. In the 1840s, the State of Illinois constructed the Illinois and Michigan Canal, connecting the Mississippi River with Lake Michigan by way of Chicago. For the first time, Midwestern produce could go to market through the Great Lakes, as …
