A Generalized Molien Function For Field Theoretical Hamiltonians, Jeffrey W. Felix, Dorian M. Hatch Jul 1985

A Generalized Molien Function For Field Theoretical Hamiltonians, Jeffrey W. Felix, Dorian M. Hatch

Faculty Publications

A generating function, or Molien function, the coefficients of which give the number of independent polynomial invariants in G, has been useful in the Landau and renormalization group theories of phase transitions. Here a generalized Molien function for a field theoretical Hamiltonian (with short-range interactions) of the most general form invariant in a group G is derived. This form is useful for more general renormalization group calculations. Its Taylor series is calculated to low order for the FGamma-2 representation of the space group R[3 bar]c and also for the l=1 (faithful) representation of SO(3).

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.


My Life, Hans Banziger Jun 1985

My Life, Hans Banziger

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

One of my very young students having gotten once the task to write on his short lifetime introduced his witty essay with the remark that curricula vitae reminded him always of necrologies. He went on, using the fiction of a minister's sermon, to describe his career: "A promising young life came abruptly to an end; Karl X had wanted to become a teacher, but his grades were not good enough ... ". Thus, you might understand, why I myself hesitated a little when Marianne Burkhard asked me to write about my life. Memoirs always sound a little bit sad. But …

Construct Validation Of The Self-Control Schedule, P. Scott Richards Jun 1985

Construct Validation Of The Self-Control Schedule, P. Scott Richards

Faculty Publications

The present paper describes an investigation of the construct validity of the English version of M. Rosenbaum’s Self- Control Schedule (SCS). A total of 121 Brigham Young University students took the SCS and several other measures. t tests were conducted between the Brigham Young University student SCS means and the SCS means of samples from two midwestem universities. Pearson correlations between the SCS, the SCS subscales, Rotter’s I-E scale, the Manifest Anxiety scale, and the Religious Orientation scale were computed. Reliability analyses were conducted on the SCS subscales. The results (a) provide additional normative data about the SCS, (b) further …

Here And There - Remarks On Daily Life, Hans Banziger, Marianne Burkhard Jun 1985

Here And There - Remarks On Daily Life, Hans Banziger, Marianne Burkhard

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Banziger's book College-Erinnerungen is a collection of short pieces written between 1967 and 1979 and published first in the periodical Schweizer Monatshefte. Here he describes and comments on a wide variety of phenomena he encountered in his daily life at Bryn Mawr. There are notes about nature and academic procedures, about political events and difficulties with language, about schools and churches. The thread connecting all these details of the old and the new country is a keen interest in human behavior and its inherent attitudes as well as the attempt to show that reality will always surpass our images and …

Host-Parasite Studies Of Trichophrya Infesting Cutthroat Trout (Salmo Clarki) And Longnose Suckers (Catostomus Catostomus) From Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming, R. A. Heckmann, T. Carroll Apr 1985

Host-Parasite Studies Of Trichophrya Infesting Cutthroat Trout (Salmo Clarki) And Longnose Suckers (Catostomus Catostomus) From Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming, R. A. Heckmann, T. Carroll

Great Basin Naturalist

Trichophrya sp. (Protozoa) on the gills of cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki) and longnose suckers (Catostomus catostomus) was studied using light and electron microscopy and tracer techniques. All cutthroat trout, 14 cm in total length and above, from Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, were infested with the suctorian. No trichophryans were found on fry or fingerling cutthroat trout. Sixty percent of the examined longnose suckers from the same location were infested. Light microscopy disclosed extensive pathology of gill epithelium in longnose suckers infested with Trichophrya that was not observed for infested cutthroat trout. Electron micrographs show …


New Synonymy And New Species Of Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), Stephen L. Wood Apr 1985

New Synonymy And New Species Of Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), Stephen L. Wood

Great Basin Naturalist

New synonymy in Scolytidae is proposed as follows: Camptocerus opacicollis (Eggers) ( = Camptocerus aquilus Wood), Cladoctonus corumbensis (Eggers) (= Hoplitophthorus bolivianus Wood), Cladoctonus interruptus (Eggers) ( = Hoplitophthorus sentus Wood), Cnemonyx errans (Blandford) ( = Ceratolepis barbatus Schedl), Cnemonyx flavicornis (Chapnis) (= Cnemonyx vianai Schedl), Cnesinus dividuus Schedl (= Cnesinus dryographus Schedl, Cnesinus laevicollis Schedl), Cryptocurus spinipennis Schedl (= Hyloperus caudatus Browne, Hyloperus bicornis Browne), Dendrosinus ater Eggers (= Dendrosinus hirsutus Schedl), Hylesinus aculeatus Say ( = Hylesinus imperialis Eichhoff), Hylesinus cordipennis Lea (= Hylesinus papuanus Eggers), Hylesinus macmahoni (Stebbing) (= Hylesinus alternans Schedl, Leperisinus fraxinoides Beeson, Leperisinus fraxinoides …


Burrowing Owl Foods In Conata Basin, South Dakota, James G. Maccracken, Daniel W. Uresk, Richard M. Hansen Apr 1985

Burrowing Owl Foods In Conata Basin, South Dakota, James G. Maccracken, Daniel W. Uresk, Richard M. Hansen

Great Basin Naturalist

Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia) were studied in a prairie dog town of southwestern South Dakota. Pellets regurgitated by Burrowing Owls contained a wide variety of prey remains. Insects, spiders, small mammals, and vegetation were the most frequent items identified in the pellets. Mammals were consumed most frequently during spring and early summer. Insects were consumed in large numbers during the entire period of this study, but they became more frequent in owl pellets during late summer and fall in association with a decline of mammal remains. Some prey items observed around owl nest sites were not found in …

Vegetational And Geomorphic Change On Snow Avalanche Paths, Glacier National Park, Montana, Usa, David R. Butler Apr 1985

Vegetational And Geomorphic Change On Snow Avalanche Paths, Glacier National Park, Montana, Usa, David R. Butler

Great Basin Naturalist

Six subalpine snow avalanche paths studied in 1975 were revisited in the summer of 1983, with the purpose of examining geomorphic and vegetational change that may have occurred during this eight-year period. Repeat photography and field reconnaissance were used to assess vegetational and geomorphic change. Vegetational responses to avalanches were apparent on several of the avalanche paths, generally by an increase in brush cover. Geomorphic changes were not apparent, suggesting that avalanches need not be geomorphically effective to initiate substantial vegetative disruption.


Effectiveness Of The Seed Wing Of Pinus Flexilis In Wind Dispersal, Ronald M. Lanner Apr 1985

Effectiveness Of The Seed Wing Of Pinus Flexilis In Wind Dispersal, Ronald M. Lanner

Great Basin Naturalist

Limber pine (Pinus flexilis James) seeds are usually wingless but occasionally have short, stubby wings. To determine the effectiveness of these wings in slowing seed descent, rates of fall were determined before and after wing removal. A similar experiment was conducted with seeds of Himalayan blue pine (P. griffithii McClelland), a white pine with typically long seed wings. The short wings of limber pine seeds were found to influence rate of seed fall far less than the wings of Himalayan blue pine. This is consistent with evidence suggesting that limber pine seeds are not effectively dispersed by wind …

Habitat Relationships Of The Blackbrush Community (Coleogyne Ramosissima) Of Southwestern Utah, James Callison, Jack D. Brotherson Apr 1985

Habitat Relationships Of The Blackbrush Community (Coleogyne Ramosissima) Of Southwestern Utah, James Callison, Jack D. Brotherson

Great Basin Naturalist

Eight general study sites in the blackbrush (Coleogyne ramosissima) zone of southwestern Utah were examined. Soils data were gathered and plant cover was estimated. Shrubs were found to he positively correlated with shallow, sandy soil. Nonwoody plants were found to be positively correlated with deeper, silty soils. Cryptogamic soil crusts were positively correlated with silt and nitrogen in the soil and therefore may play a role in elevating soil fertility. Shrubs and grasses were negatively correlated. Management implications are discussed.

New Nevada Entities And Combinations In Eriogonum (Polygonaceae), James L. Reveal Apr 1985

New Nevada Entities And Combinations In Eriogonum (Polygonaceae), James L. Reveal

Great Basin Naturalist

New species and varieties of the plant genus Eriogonum (Polygonaceae) that occur in Nevada are proposed. Eriogonum tiehmii and E. ochrocephalum var. alexanderae are endemic to Nevada, and E. lewisii is restricted to extreme northeastern Nevada and adjacent Utah. These entities belong to the subgenus Eucycla. Two varieties of E. umbellatum (of the subgenus Oligogonum) are proposed. The first, var. juniporinum, is found in eastern Nevada and in the desert ranges of southeastern California. The second is var. furcosum, which is restricted to the Sierra Nevada. One new combination is also proposed: E. nudum var. gramineum.


Pollinators Of Astragalus Monoensis Barneby (Fabaceae): New Host Records; Potential Impact Of Sheep Grazing, Evan A. Sugden Apr 1985

Pollinators Of Astragalus Monoensis Barneby (Fabaceae): New Host Records; Potential Impact Of Sheep Grazing, Evan A. Sugden

Great Basin Naturalist

Important bee species inhabiting the study area are listed, including those observed and collected foraging on Astragalus monoensis, a California rare plant. The significance of each species as a potential pollinator is assessed, based on frequency of occurrence in collecting, observed and published host plant records, and morphology. Three pollinator categories are proposed: observed and/or collected on the plant, probable visitors, and possible visitors. New host plant records for these species are listed. Current sheep grazing practices in the A. monoensis habitat endanger pollinators in four ways: (1) destruction of potential nest sites, (2) destruction of existing nests and …
