Fossil Palm Materials From The Tertiary Dipping Vat Formation Of Central Utah, William D. Tidwell, David A. Medlyn, Gregory F. Thayn

Great Basin Naturalist

The Rhizopalmoxylon (petrified palm roots) species from the hills west of Redmond, Utah were originally reported as from the Jurassic Arapien Shale. However, the Utah State Geologic Map upon which this was largely based is erroneous, and the strata containing the palm roots are in the Tertiary Dipping Vat Formation, rather than in the Jurassic Arapien Shale. From the palm roots previously reported, three new species have been identified: Rhizopalmoxylon behuninii, R. blackii, and R. scottii.

Specimens of the new species, Palmoxylon gustavesonii, were collected from the Dipping Vat Formation east and south of Redmond. This formation unconformably overlies the …

New Synonymy In The Bark Beetle Tribe Cryphalini (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), Stephen L. Wood

Great Basin Naturalist

A lectotype designated for Bostrichus asperatus Gyllenhal resulted in the clarification of the status of Cryphalus Erichson and the removal of Trypophoeus Fairmaire from synonymy. All species described by A. D. Hopkins in Hypothenemus Westwood and Stephanoderes Eichhoff were reviewed. New synonymy included: Bostrichus asperatus Gyllenhal (B. abietis Ratzeburg); H. birmanus (Eichhoff) (H. maculicollis Sharp. S. perkinsi Hopkins. S. sterculiae Hopkins. S. psidii Hopkins); B. crudiae (Panzer) (B. plumeriae Nördlinger, Cryphalus hispidulus LeConte, S. differens Hopkins, S. paraguayensis Hopkins, S. polyphagus Costa Lima, S. uniseriatus Eggers, S. hivaoea Beeson, S. lebronneci Beeson); H. californicus Hopkins (H. …

Small Rodent Populations And Biomass In Three Sagebrush Communities Of Rush Valley, Utah, David W. Nichols

Theses and Dissertations

Three desert Artemisia tridentata communities in Rush Valley, Utah were trapped for small rodents during the summer of 1970 in a mark-recapture study. Population densities were estimated using several indices for each population category. Animals were weighed and rodent biomass calculated for each species throughout the summer. Populations, biomass, and other data were then analyzed to gain a better understanding of A. tridentata community types of the Great Basin. Peromyscus maniculatus, Eutamias minimus, and Reithrodontomys megalotis were common to area 1. Peromyscus maniculatus, E. minimus, and Perognathus parvus were common to areas 2 and 3. The peak estimated standing crops …

Book Review: Sozio-Kulturelle Probleme Der Eingliederung Italienischer Arbeitskrafte In Der Schweiz, Dr. Lukas F. Burckhardt

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Rudolf Braun's study of the assimilation problems of Italian workers in Switzerland has two outstanding qualities which are rarely found together in the same work: It meets the strict professional standards of modern sociological research, but it is also written with the heart and therefore reads in its main parts like a captivating novel.

Electron Cyclotron Radiation Measurements To Determine Relative Electron Temperatures In A Low-Density Magnetic-Mirror Plasma System, Andrew L. Gardner

Faculty Publications

Measurements of the electron cyclotron radiation emitted from the plasma of the Alice system were made using a synchronous detection microwave radiometer in the range of 10.2 - 11.6 GHz. Both sidebands were used to sample radiation from two nested closed shells within the plasma. For a tenuous plasma this radiation is proportional to the product of the electron density and the electron temperature. Since measurements of the plasma density were available from other detectors, relative values of the electron temperature were obtained using the measured radiation intensity.

Public Culture And The Cultured Public In Switzerland

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Excerpts from the address given by Dr. Hans Muller, Cultural Counselor of the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, D.C., at the Eighth Annual Meeting of November 20, 2971.

At the annual meeting of the SAHS Dr. Hans Muller not only played the role of gracious host, but also presented to those assembled a perceptive analysis relating to Swiss cultural life. It was a precise, fast-moving, and highly informed and informative presentation which opened with these words:

Letter Of The Editor, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Dear Compatriots and Friends:

I is the major task of this newsletter to report to the members of the SAHS on the eighth annual meeting which was held on November 20, 1971, at the Swiss Embassy in Washington. Some twenty people attended and much important business was transacted. The participants very much wished that more of you could have been there to help in the decision-making process and to enjoy the gracious and cultured hospitality extended to the SAHS by Dr. and Mrs. Hans Muller.

On The Mechanism Of Low-Temperature Termolecular Atomic Recombination, Russell T. Pack, Richard L. Snow, Wesley D. Smith

Faculty Publications

A simple theory of gas-phase termolecular atomic recombination kinetics is presented which treats the bound-complex (BC) mechanism in a fashion which parallels the Roberts, Bernstein, and Curtiss resonance theory of the energy-transfer (ET) mechanism. The ET rate constant has a low temperature maximum, but the BC rate constant does not. The contributions of the two mechanisms to the low-temperature recombination of hydrogen atoms, with He, Ar, and H2 as third bodies, are estimated and compared. The presence (absence) of a low-temperature maximum in the observable total rate constant is determined by absence (presence) of bound vibrational levels of the hydrogen-third …
