Reason And Revelation, Noel B. Reynolds Jun 1981

Reason And Revelation, Noel B. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

This paper outlines and recommends a distinctively LDS approach to the ancient questions about reason and revelation in religious communities. It treats the variety of spiritual experience and distinguishes them from sentimentality and other pseudo spiritual experiences. It also explains how reason and revelation are important helps for one another and how better education can help individuals use reason and science to strengthen the role of revelation in their lives.

Mind Reader And Maestro: Models For Understanding Biblical Interpreters, Patrick R. Keifert Apr 1981

Mind Reader And Maestro: Models For Understanding Biblical Interpreters, Patrick R. Keifert

Faculty Publications

Certain models of the interpreter’s self-understanding within the interpretive task might be found more in keeping than others with the common life of the church, its nurture and preservation. I will explore several models of the interpreter’s self-understanding of the interpretive task, pair them with the corresponding understanding of the text and evaluate their usefulness for interpreting.

Multiple Scattering Of Protons And Deuterons By Thick Foils, D. R. Dixon, G. L. Jensen, S. M. Morrill, C. J. Connors, R. L. Walter, C. R. Gould, P. M. Thambiduria Apr 1981

Multiple Scattering Of Protons And Deuterons By Thick Foils, D. R. Dixon, G. L. Jensen, S. M. Morrill, C. J. Connors, R. L. Walter, C. R. Gould, P. M. Thambiduria

Faculty Publications

Protons and deuterons from the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) tandem Van de Graaff of energies 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 MeV were scattered from foils of Al, Ni, Mo, and Ta having thicknesses of 6.14 to 47 mg/cm2. Multiple scattering angular distributions were measured using a position-sensitive detector to collect data at nine different angles simultaneously. Gaussian curves were fitted to the central points of the distributions and the Θ1/e angles thus derived are presented graphically. The data points are compared with calculations using a common method of determining multiple scattering angles. An empirical correction for extending this method into …

Proton Induced X-Ray Emission Analysis - A Complement To Analytical Methods Used In Environmental Studies, N. F. Mangelson, D. J. Eatough, N. L. Eatough, L. D. Hansen, M. W. Hill, M. L. Lee, L. R. Phillips, M. E. Post, B. E. Richter, J. F. Ryder

Faculty Publications

Particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis is a highly versatile method of element analysis. Thus it is well suited for use as a complement to other methods of analysis in experimental programs requiring both chemical and elemental analyses. This paper reports some results of two projects where PIXE was used in conjunction with titration calorimetry, ion chromatography, atomic absorption spectroscopy, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and some other methods. The first is a study of sulfur chemistry in a copper smelter plume. Arsenic was found to be a conservative tracer of the plume and was used for calculation of …

Landau Free Energy Form At The F Point Of The Roverline3 Structure, Dorian M. Hatch, Daniel L. Decker Feb 1981

Landau Free Energy Form At The F Point Of The Roverline3 Structure, Dorian M. Hatch, Daniel L. Decker

Faculty Publications

A free energy form compatible with the F point of the trigonal D63d(Roverline3c) symmetry is constructed. It is a function of the order parameter, elastic strain, and the stress. The resulting free energy exhibits a close formalistic analogy to the stressed cubic perovskite structures and their associated multicriticality.

Writing From A Legal Perspective By George D. Gopen, Douglas E. Abrams, Jay Wishingrad Jan 1981

Writing From A Legal Perspective By George D. Gopen, Douglas E. Abrams, Jay Wishingrad

Faculty Publications

Criticism of legal writing has come with increasing frequency and stridency in recent years from lawyers and nonlawyers alike. Judges have criticized the writing of advocates, and lawyers have complained about the writing of judges and other lawyers. Law professors have bemoaned both their students' inability to write the King's English5 *1062 and their own tendency to write ‘unintelligible gibberish.’ And all law school graduates have been pilloried by a general public that has grown increasingly resentful of the unnecessary complexity of ‘legalese.

Recovery In Tort For Educational Malpractice: Problems Of Theory And Policy, Robert H. Jerry Ii Jan 1981

Recovery In Tort For Educational Malpractice: Problems Of Theory And Policy, Robert H. Jerry Ii

Faculty Publications

This Article considers whether denial of a cause of action for educational malpractice is consistent with recognized tort principles and the general policy considerations underlying those principles. After briefly summarizing three lawsuits in which the cause of action has been advocated and rejected, it explores the collision between theory and policy that permeates the decisions. The Article suggests that refusal to recognize the cause of action is incompatible with accepted tort principles, and that a cogent theory supporting nonrecognition cannot be articulated within the confines of the accepted principles and the general policies upon which those principles are based. If …

Improved Mortality Among U.S. Blacks, 1968-1978: The Role Of Antiracist Struggle, R. Cooper, M. Steinhauer, A. Schatzkin, W. Miller Jan 1981

Improved Mortality Among U.S. Blacks, 1968-1978: The Role Of Antiracist Struggle, R. Cooper, M. Steinhauer, A. Schatzkin, W. Miller

Faculty Publications

A marked improvement in health status for black adults took place over the last decade in the United States. Life expectancy for black men increased 4.6 years between 1968 and 1978, while for black women the increase was 5.7 years. Death rates for the age group 35-74 decreased approximately 25 percent for blacks over the same period. The largest contribution to this improvement was made by cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease and stroke). Although similar improvement was observed in the white population, on both a percentage and absolute basis the change was greater for blacks. For the first time in …

Channel Instability In A Braided Sand Bed River, William L. Graf Jan 1981

Channel Instability In A Braided Sand Bed River, William L. Graf

Faculty Publications

The Gila River of central Arizona is representative of braided, sand bed rivers in alluvial valleys that have inherent unstable behavior and destructive channel migration. The 112-year record of channel conditions along a portion of the Gila River provides data for the construction of locational probability maps for main flow channels. Zones of stability and hazardous instability alternate with each other at 3.2 km (2 mi) intervals. During the past century the overall sinuosity of the main flow channel has remained close to 1.18, despite numerous changes in actual location. Spatial and temporal variation of sinuosity have occurred in subreaches …

Slouching Toward Bethlehem With The Ninth Amendment, William W. Van Alstyne Jan 1981

Slouching Toward Bethlehem With The Ninth Amendment, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

This review discusses Charles Black’s work “Decision According to Law”, which examines the tendency and the means used by activist judges to provide fair decisions through the use of more flexible principles of Constitutional law. While Black’s writing style is both informative and powerful, his original thesis regarding the Ninth Amendment acting as Congressional endorsement of the courts’ activist role is uncompelling and poorly supported.

Model For Coal-Fired Reactors, Philip J. Smith, Thomas H. Fletcher, L. Douglas Smoot Jan 1981

Model For Coal-Fired Reactors, Philip J. Smith, Thomas H. Fletcher, L. Douglas Smoot

Faculty Publications

An axisymmetric, elliptic model has been developed for analysis of confined, turbulent coal-laden diffusion flames. The scheme is Eulerian for gases and Lagrangian for particles. The approach emphasizes the turbulent fluid mechanics of the mixing-limited gas phase reaction processes. The two-equation (k-─ e) turbulence model is used for closure. Particle drag and turbulent particle diffusion are also modeled. Gaseous combustion is modeled with a probability density function for the mixture fraction. Fluctuations in mixing of inlet streams and coal off-gas are considered. Coal pyrolysis and oxidation reaction processes are assumed to be slow with respect to the turbulent time scale. …

Sodium Flux Ratio In Voltage-Clamped Squid Giant Axons, David D. Busath, Ted Begenisich Jan 1981

Sodium Flux Ratio In Voltage-Clamped Squid Giant Axons, David D. Busath, Ted Begenisich

Faculty Publications

The sodium flux ratio across the axolemma of internally perfused, voltage-clamped giant axons of Loligo pealei has been measured at various membrane potentials. The flux ratio exponent obtained from these measurements was about unity and independent of membrane voltage over the 50 mV range from about -20 to +30 mV. These results, combined with previous measurements of ion permeation through sodium channels, show that the sodium channel behaves like a multi-ion pore with two ion binding sites that are rarely simultaneously occupied by sodium.

Diffusion, Reinforcement, Geopolitics, And The Spread Of War, Benjamin A. Most, Harvey Starr Dec 1980

Diffusion, Reinforcement, Geopolitics, And The Spread Of War, Benjamin A. Most, Harvey Starr

Faculty Publications

The discussion reports the results of an examination of the possible diffusion of new war participations during the 1946-65 era. A theoretical argument is developed to yield more precise expectations about when, where, why, and how diffusion processs might operate. Four diffusion-related processes (positive spatial diffusion, positive reinforcement, negative spatial diffusion, and negative reinforcement) are discussed and analyzed. A series of simple turnover tables and a focus on nations' borders are used to go beyond the authors' previous stochastic modeling efforts. The results provide strong evidence that is consistent with both the authors' theoretical argument and the general war diffusion …

Sobre La Validez De La Hipótesis Funcional, Orlando Alba Oct 1980

Sobre La Validez De La Hipótesis Funcional, Orlando Alba

Faculty Publications

En este ensayo se utiliza la variación de la /s/ final de palabra para examinar la validez o no de la llamada hipótesis funcional. En el español de Santiago, cuando el segmento /s/ es una marca morfológica de número plural (niños) o de segunda persona verbal (cantas), es elidido con tanta o con mayor frecuencia que cuando no tiene una función morfológica (lunes). Se concluye, sin embargo, que este hecho no constituye una prueba decisiva en contra de la hipótesis funcional ya que la /s/ con valor morfológico constituye, generalmente, una …

The Effect Of Dam Closure On Downstream Rapids, William L. Graf Jan 1980

The Effect Of Dam Closure On Downstream Rapids, William L. Graf

Faculty Publications

The force of flowing water and the resistance of the largest boulder provide a means of evaluation of the stability of rapids in canyon rivers. Field measurements and calculations show that the closure of Flaming Gorge Dam, Utah, has had a significant effect on the stability of rapids in the canyons of the Green River in Dinosaur National Monument 68 km (42 mi) downstream from the dam. The reduction in peak flows by the dam has limited the competence of the river to move boulders deposited in the main channel by tributary processes, landslides, and prehistoric floods. Before the dam …
