The Poetry Of Matthew Arnold: A Study In Versification, Douglas A. Mathewson

Theses and Dissertations

Despite the great number of published works that deal with English prosody or the more restricted subject of versification, there is a noticeable scarcity of studies that describe the practices of individual poets. One of the more apparent reasons for the meager number of versification studies is the instability of the basic criteria by which a poem is examined. Prosodists quite simply find it difficult to establish concrete principles of scansion that are acceptable to all other prosodists. Without going into discussion of the various schools of thought on metrical structure, suffice it to say that there are conflicting opinions …

Liquid Particle Interaction With A Normal Shock Wave, Victor George Forsnes

Theses and Dissertations

The atomization of a liquid by an air stream has been an item of much concern in the past, and there have been numerous experimental studies of the process made in an effort to correlate liquid and air- stream physical properties into a general model which will predict the degree of and the time required for atomization for a given physical situation. The breakup of liquid drops, a major portion of the atomization process, finds application in the field of meteorology, where the formation, breakup, and shape of raindrops is an item of much concern; in the field of internal …

120th Anniversary Pf New Glarus, L. B.

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

In our first Newsletter we have presented to our readers the American writer Herbert Kubly from New Glarus, Wisconsin. He is so deeply rooted in that community founded by settlers from the canton of Glarus, Switzerland in 1845 that he may even write a novel based on its history which is, at the same time that of his own family.

The response to our first newsletter of April has been very gratifying; so IWcb so that we decided to issue a second letter now, although the summer is a time vhen many of us pursue other than their ordinary tasks. One of the persons absent from the country at t his time is our secretary, Dr. Augustin Maissen, who is spending a research-vacation in Spain and Switzerland. We will have to wait for his detailed report till our fall newsletter, but I can tell you t hat we have received so far about forty-five membership applications …

Swiss Songs On The Emigrants To The U.S., L. B.

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Our remarks in the first Newsletter on the Sviss folk song scolding the emigrants to the U.S. for tearing up their citizenship certificate ("Du willst den Burgerbrief zerreissen, den dir das teure Hochland gab") has provoked a well documented comment by the Swiss Consul General in New York, Dr. Hans Lacher, who has collected literature on the different versions of this song from the serious earlier text.to the later ironical deviations most of us remember.

In 1958, together with his friend Robert Billigmeier, Dr. Augustin Maissen has edited the booklet "Contemporary Romansh Poetry. An Anthology of Contemporary Poetry written in the Romansh Language of Switzerland, with Bilingual Text, including an Introduction and Biographical Notes", published by the Romansh-American Foundation and printed by Editorial 'Cantera', Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico (48 pages). This charming presentation of Romansh culture is an excellent introduction into the fourth Swiss national language because it appeals to a feeling for beauty which is universal. The poem "Il pur suveran" ("The Sovereign Peasant") by Anton Huonder (1824-1872), one of the early pioneers of the …

Residual Stresses And The Bauschinger Effect, Raymond M. Huebner

Theses and Dissertations

Within the last ten years there has been much interest in the field of elasto-plastic behavior of engineering materials. Hie recent popularity of the low-cost light-weight plastically designed structures has added a great deal of impetus to this interest. This thesis deals with one of the aspects of elasto-plastic behavior, namely, the distribution of the residual stresses in a simple member which has been plastically deformed in tension and/or compression,. In particular, an attempt has been made to relate these residual stresses to the well-known but little understood Bauschinger effect.

Residual Stress Distribution Changes During Dynamic Unidirectional Tensile Loading, Henry Swan Todd

Theses and Dissertations

In recent years there has been much engineering effort channeled toward obtaining higher strength, lower weight and cost product designs. In pursuit of this goal some carefully designed and tested parts have catastrophically failed after a long history of repeated successful service, even though the load at the time of failure was no higher than the part had repeatedly carried previously. These mechanical failures are commonly classified as fatigue failures.

A Comparative Population Study Of Small Vertebrates In The Uranium Areas Of The Upper Colorado River Basin Of Utah, Wilmer W. Tanner

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

This paper constitutes a terminal report to the United States Atomic Energy Commission for contract AT(11-1)819. It provides not only a faunistic and floristic study of areas having a high and low surface radiation, but also includes a consideration of their general ecology. Major emphasis is placed on the variation of the external characteristics of the small vertebrates of these areas with a statistical analysis of those characters examined in the lizards. The study was conducted in southeastern Utah (Tanner 1963, see map) from October 1959 through 1964, and was conducted as a test of the variation effects of natural …

Tularemia And Deer Flies In The Environs Of Utah Lake, Utah, Kaye B. Cox

Theses and Dissertations

Deer flies have been implicated as mechanical veotors of tularemia in Utah. Although infected flies heretofore have not been tound in nature, there is little doubt of their importance in transmitting tularemia to man. Two species present in this area, Chrysops discalis Williston and Chrysops noctifer Osten Sacken, have been shown experimentally to transmit the disease. The presence of deer flies in the environs of Utah Lake where tularemia is endemic oftera a potential health threat to man, and the expanding human population and development ot recreational facilities adjacent to the lake inorease this potential. Despite the taot that deer …

Properties Of Chlorophyll Derivatives Bonded To Polymers, Richard Grant Jensen

Theses and Dissertations

Two types of water-soluble complexes of chlorophyll a with organic polymers have been investigated: chlorophyll a coordinately bonded to poly 4-vinylpyridine and a chlorophyll derivative, Mg-chlorin e_6 phytyl methyl ester, covalently bonded to GANTREZ AN (poly (methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride) ). The first complex was observed upon dissolving chlorophyll a and poly 4-vinylpyridine in aqueous ethanol solutions. The Mg-chlorin e_6 diester-GANTREZ AN complex (chlorophyll a/polymer) was made by aminolysing the chlorophyll ring V with 1, 6-hexanediamine to give an intermediate product, Mg-chlorin e_6 -6-N-(6' -aminohexyl) carboxamide, phytyl methyl ester. This was attached to GANTREZ AN by linkage of the 6'-amine …

Thermodynamics Of Charge Transfer Complexes, Reed J. Jensen

Theses and Dissertations

Charge transfer complexes were studied spectrophotometrically in the liquid state by a modified Benesi-Hildabrand method. TiCl_4 - Benzene and TiCl_4 - diphenyl ether solutions were found to form contact charge transfer complexes, that is complexes with very weak and non-directional interactions. The systems TiCl_4 - anisole and TiCl_4 - diethyl ether form complexes of the types AD and AD_2 where A stands for TiCl_4 and D stand s for the organic donor. The formation constants for the complexes were, for the TiCl_4 - anisole, K_1 = 0.077, K_2 = 0.01; and TiCl_4 - diethyl ether, K_1= 3.0, K_2 = 1.0. …

Religious Attitudes In The World Of Humphry Clinker, Byron Gassman

BYU Studies

Tobias Smollett's Expedition of Humphry Clinker provides a vivid and perceptive view of eighteenth-century Scotland and England. Written as a series of letters from a Welshman travelling through Scotland and Ireland, Humphry Clinker reveals Smollett's unease over the political and economic changes in English society. Smollett's religious commentary, although less central than his political commentary, is no less valuable. Smollett's satirical treatment of both the Anglican clergy and the Methodist movement gives modern readers a glimpse of a segment of religious thought in his time.

The Impact Of Inflation On The Developing Economy: The Brazilian Case, Richard B. Wirthlin

BYU Studies

The effects of inflation in Brazil are given as an example of third-world economies around the globe. Wirthlin places Brazil's largest economic problem-that of inflation-in the larger context of the country's political, geographic, demographic, and economic situation. Then he discusses how inflation can cause inequality and political instability. He also examines the role insufficient food supplies, the political structure, and an aversion to foreign capital have had on rising prices. Along with offering several solutions to these problems, the author calls for further attention to the problems facing third-world economies.
