Homestead On The Range: The Emergence Of Community In Eastern Montana, 1900-1925, Rex C. Myers

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Mary Tanner saw homesteading as "a togetherness" learned from neighbors. ¹ In 1915 she and thirty-two families shared that togetherness at Round Butte, Dawson County, Montana, clustered around a school and post office that bore the same name. Neighbors got together and threshed grain, raised barns, or brought in crops for neighbors "laid up" by accident or illness. That same cooperative effort extended to the formation of the Round Butte school and post office, to community social organizations, and ultimately to the creation of a new county, Garfield, in 1919.

Phytoplankton Dynamics In Three Rocky Mountain Lakes, Colorado, U.S.A., Diane M. Mcknight, Richard L. Smith, J. Platt Bradbury, Jill S. Baron, Sarah Spaulding

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

In 1984 and 1985 seasonal changes in phytoplankton were studied in a system of three lakes in Loch Vale, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Three periods were evident: (1) A spring bloom, during snowmelt, of the planktonic diatom Asterionella Formosa, (2) a mid- summer period of minimal algal abundance, and (3) a fall bloom of the blue-green alga Oscillatoria limnetica. Seasonal phytoplankton dynamics in these lakes are controlled partially by the rapid flushing rate during snowmelt and the transport of phytoplankton from the highest lake to the lower lakes by the stream, Icy Brook. During snowmelt, the A. …

Crustal Strain Near The Big Bend Of The San Andreas Fault: Analysis Of The Los Padres-Tehachapi Trilateration Networks, California, Donna Eberhart-Phillips, Michael Lisowski, Mark D. Zoback

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

In the region of the Los Padres-Tehachapi geodetic network, the San Andreas fault (SAF) changes its orientation by over 30 ° from N40 °W, close to that predicted by plate motion for a transform boundary, to N73 °W. The strain orientation near the SAF is consistent with right-lateral shear along the fault, with maximum shear rate of 0.38 ± 0.01 μrad/yr at N63 °W. In contrast, away from the SAF the strain orientations on both sides of the fault are consistent with the plate motion direction, with maximum shear rate of 0.19 ± 0.01 μrad/yr at N44 °W. The strain …

Social Anxiety And The Recall Of Interpersonal Information, Debra A. Hope, Richard G. Heimberg, John F. Klein

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

Sixty subjects classified as high or low in social anxiety participated in a structured heterosocial interaction under conditions of either high or low social-evaluative threat. Following the interaction, subjects were asked to recall detailed information about the interaction partner’s appearance and the content of the conversation. Socially anxious subjects recalled less information and made more errors in recall than nonanxious subjects. Contrary to prediction, social-evaluative threat did not affect recall. Anxious subjects also reported greater self-focused attention during the interaction. High self-focused attention was associated with superior recall for nonanxious subjects but associated with more frequent omission errors for anxious …

On Parasitic Discourse In Till Eulenspiegel: Can We Take It Seriously?, Priscilla A. Hayden-Roy

German Language and Literature Papers

The issue we are addressing here concerns how – or if -- we can take non-serious language seriously, or even legitimate it. Derrida wishes to consider marginal, parasitic, borderline cases, because they give him “insight into the general functioning of a textual system.” If we simply identify and banish the parasite, we will end up retracing the boundaries of convention; if we look at the parasite as part of a whole system, then our perspective goes beyond that of the insider. This has direct implications for how we interpret Till Eulenspiegel. We can retrace the banishments as they occur …

Design Of A Dynamically Reconfigurable, Integrated, Parallel Vision System, Ashok K. Samal

School of Computing: Conference and Workshop Papers

Multiprocessors can be used to speed up the process of object recognition. Building a parallel vision system is a two step process: (a) design and implement parallel algorithms for individual operations, and (b) integrate them into a coherent system. So far the emphasis has been on the first step. The second step has not received enough attention. A framework for building a parallel vision system is presented here. The necessary and desirable features of such a system have been identified. An initial design which incorporates these features is also given.

An Experimental Study On Reject Ratio Prediction For Vlsl Circuits: Kokomo Revisited, Dharam Vir Das, Sharad C. Seth, Paul T. Wagner, John Anderson, Vishwani Agrawal

School of Computing: Faculty Publications

Assuring product quality is becoming increasingly more important for the semiconductor chip manufacturers. The reject ratio (defect level) provides a simple and accurate measure of a product's quality. However, measuring the reject ratio of tested chips is often not feasible or accurate. Statistical techniques for reject ratio prediction provide a possible way out of this dilemma. In this paper, we report on an experiment to verify the accuracy of reject ratio predictions by the available approaches. The data collection effort includes instrumenting the wafer probe test to obtain chip failures as a function of applied vectors and running a fault …

Rationality As A Goal Of Education, David Moshman

Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications

Abstract Those who believe education should involve more than learning facts often stress either (a) development or (b) thinking skills. A focus on development as a goal of education typically entails a conception of knowledge as organismic, holistic, and internally generated. In contrast, thinking skills programs commonly assume a mechanistic, reductionist perspective in which good thinking consists of some finite number of directly teachable skills. A conception of rationality as a goal of education is proposed that incorporates the complementary strengths and avoids the limitations of the developmental and thinking skills approaches. Rationality is defined as the self-reflective, intentional, and …
