The Gunman Downstairs, Michael R. Hill Jan 1992

The Gunman Downstairs, Michael R. Hill

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

EXACTLY 24 HOURS ago, in this building, nearly two dozen of your fellow students fled from Room 112, downstairs, in mortal terror of being murdered by a classmate in a senior-level actuarial science class. Newspaper accounts of this event present a particularly vivid example of the frame concepts that Erving Goffman explicates in Frame Analysis. In particular, Arthur McElroy’s entrance into Room 112 was a “guided doing” by which he willfully intended to kill at least a few, if not all, of his classmates.

“For a second,” said a student in the class, “I just sat there in a daze.” …


Review Of Aspen, A Documentary Film By Frederick Wiseman, Michael R. Hill Jan 1992

Review Of Aspen, A Documentary Film By Frederick Wiseman, Michael R. Hill

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

Frederick Wiseman's most recent documentary was heralded in the New York Times (December 29, 1991, pp. 27,36) with considerable fanfare, but for this reviewer Aspen is a sociological disappointment. Wiseman's unusually keen documentary grip on the subtleties and institutional complexities of Western society has momentarily slipped in his presentation of the collage of institutionally disjointed images offered in Aspen. Visually excavating the social nexus of community life as a whole is a worthy objective for filmmakers of Wiseman's stature and experience, but sociology instructors who hope that Aspen might serve as an institutionally sophisticated community study will have to …


Superambient Heat Capacities Of Synthetic Stibnite, Berthierite, And Chalcostibite: Revised Thermodynamic Properties And Implications For Phase Equilibria, Robert R. Seal Ii, Richard A. Robie, Paul B. Barton Jr., Bruce Hemingway Jan 1992

Superambient Heat Capacities Of Synthetic Stibnite, Berthierite, And Chalcostibite: Revised Thermodynamic Properties And Implications For Phase Equilibria, Robert R. Seal Ii, Richard A. Robie, Paul B. Barton Jr., Bruce Hemingway

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

Stibnite (Sb2S3), berthierite (FeSb2S4), and chalcostibite (CuSbS2) are important antimony-bearing minerals. Stibnite is the main ore mineral of antimony and occurs as an important accessory in many epigenetic ore deposits, especially in later stages of deposition or in peripheral facies of mineralization. Berthierite is a common accessory mineral in antimony deposits. Its occurrence, particularly in gold-antimony deposits, has received considerable scientific attention. Furthermore, stibnite, berthierite, and chalcostibite represent important reference phases for understanding phase equilibria in more complex systems, such as those containing tetrahedrite-tennantite solid solutions.


Stable Isotope Study Of Water-Rock Interaction And Ore Formation, Bayhorse Base And Precious Metal District, Idaho, Robert R. Seal Ii, Robert O. Rye Jan 1992

Stable Isotope Study Of Water-Rock Interaction And Ore Formation, Bayhorse Base And Precious Metal District, Idaho, Robert R. Seal Ii, Robert O. Rye

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

The Bayhorse base and precious metal district situated east of the Idaho batholiths in south-central Idaho. The ores occur near the Nevada Mountain granitic stock as veins cutting the lower Paleozoic Ramshorn Slate and the Garden Creek Phyllite, and as fillings around breccias fragments within the Bayhorse Dolomite. The veins are dominated by siderite and tetrahedrite, with lesser quartz and galena, whereas the breccias ores dominantly comprise only quartz and galena. Mineralization and intrusive activity were contemporaneous during Cretaceous time. Fluid inclusion and stable isotope data indicate that mineralization formed from hot (ca. 375° -225°C), CO2-rich (≤8.3 ± …


Introduction To Special Section On The Cajon Pass Scientific Drilling Project, Mark D. Zoback, Arthur H. Lachenbruch Jan 1992

Introduction To Special Section On The Cajon Pass Scientific Drilling Project, Mark D. Zoback, Arthur H. Lachenbruch

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

Over the past few decades a generally accepted conceptual model for the thermomechanics of the San Andreas fault was based on three factors believed to have been supported by observation: (1) maximum horizontal shear stress increases with depth in the crust at the rate of 7-8 MPa/km (as indicated by measurements in relatively shallow boreholes), roughly the same rate of shear stress increase as in other regions [e.g., McGarr et al., 1982], (2) the maximum horizontal stress direction in the vicinity of the fault was oriented at about 300-45 ° to its strike (as indicated by the predominance of right-lateral …


New Species Of Rhabdochona Railliet, 1916 (Nemata: Rhabdochonidae) From Rainbow Trout In California Streams, Armand R. Maggenti, Fawzia Abdel-Rahman, I. Cid Del Prado Vera Jan 1992

New Species Of Rhabdochona Railliet, 1916 (Nemata: Rhabdochonidae) From Rainbow Trout In California Streams, Armand R. Maggenti, Fawzia Abdel-Rahman, I. Cid Del Prado Vera

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Three new species of Rhabdochona Railliet, 1916 are described and illustrated from Salmo gairdneri Richardson (rainbow trout) in freshwater streams in California: Rhabdochona californiensis n. sp., R. paxmani n. sp., and R. satmonis n. sp. Rhabdochona californiensis n. sp. is characterized by 14 anteriorly directed teeth in the prostome, egg devoid of filaments or floats, male and female tail terminus with a single mucro, left (long) spicule slender with a moderate distended podoid terminal end, spicular ratio 1:3.8. Rhabdochona paxmani n. sp. is characterized by 10 teeth in the prostome, eggs with polar floats, left (long) spicule slender with podoid …


Microphallus Fonti Sp. N. (Digenea: Microphallidae) From The Red Swamp Crawfish In Southern United States, Robin M. Overstreet, Richard W. Heard, Jeffrey M. Lotz Jan 1992

Microphallus Fonti Sp. N. (Digenea: Microphallidae) From The Red Swamp Crawfish In Southern United States, Robin M. Overstreet, Richard W. Heard, Jeffrey M. Lotz

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

A new species of digenean, Microphallus fonti, is described from the red swamp crawfish in Louisiana, USA. It has a small pharynx and a rudimentary gut like M. opacus and possibly related species from crayfishes, but it differs from them by its relatively large male copulatory papilla and a conspicuous metraterm.


Sr-Isotope Record Of Quaternary Marine Terraces On The California Coast And Off Hawaii, Kenneth R. Ludwig, Daniel R. Muhs, Kathleen R. Simmons, James G. Moore Jan 1992

Sr-Isotope Record Of Quaternary Marine Terraces On The California Coast And Off Hawaii, Kenneth R. Ludwig, Daniel R. Muhs, Kathleen R. Simmons, James G. Moore

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

Strontium-isotopic ratios of dated corals have been obtained from submerged reefs formed during Quaternary glacial periods off the Hawaiian islands. These data, combined with data from deep-sea sediments, tightly constrain the secular variation of marine 87Sr/86Sr for the past 800,000 yr. Although long-term trends are apparent, no significant (>0.02‰), rapid (<100,000 yr) excursions in 87Sr/86Sr were resolved nor did we observe any samples with 87Sr/86Sr greater than that of modern seawater. Strontium in mollusks from elevated marine terraces formed during interglacial periods on the southern California coast show resolvable and consistent variations in …

Phylogeny, Historical Biogeography, And Ecology Of Anophryocephalus Spp. (Eucestoda: Tetrabothriidae) Among Pinnipeds Of The Holarctic During The Late Tertiary And Pleistocene, Eric P. Hoberg, Ann M. Adams Jan 1992

Phylogeny, Historical Biogeography, And Ecology Of Anophryocephalus Spp. (Eucestoda: Tetrabothriidae) Among Pinnipeds Of The Holarctic During The Late Tertiary And Pleistocene, Eric P. Hoberg, Ann M. Adams

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Phylogenetic systematic analyses of Anophryocephalus spp. resulted in a single most-parsimonious cladogram (consistency index: 80%). Cladograms for pinniped hosts (phocids and otariids) and Anophryocephalus spp. were highly incongruent, corroborating a hypothesis for colonization as a dominant determinant of parasite diversification. Phoca (Pusa) spp. in the Atlantic basin are postulated as the initial hosts; range expansion for hosts and parasites into the Pacific basin through the Arctic (ca. 3.0-2.5 million years ago) was followed by radiation of Anophryocephalus spp. among Phoca spp. and subsequent colonization of otariids (Eumetopias jubatus as typical hosts; ca. 2.0 million years ago). Host …


Deaths Of Art: David Carrier's Metahistory Of Artwriting, Gary Shapiro Jan 1992

Deaths Of Art: David Carrier's Metahistory Of Artwriting, Gary Shapiro

Philosophy Faculty Publications

This essay is a critical examination of David Carrier's Artwriting (1987), which offered a philosophical account of the implicit strategies of narrative and presentation deployed by a wide range of art historians and critics. Here, this author raises some questions concerning Carrier's attempt to describe or define a genre of 'art-writing' distinct from philosophical aesthetics; he also discusses Carrier's views in the context of those writers whom Carrier examines in Artwriting.


Arbitration And Salary Inflation In Major League Baseball, Deborah R. Swank Jan 1992

Arbitration And Salary Inflation In Major League Baseball, Deborah R. Swank

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Major league baseball has undergone significant changes since its inception over a century ago.2 While the game itself remains basically the same, the system governing management and player relations is hardly the same as it was even twenty years ago.' In years past, team owners exercised absolute authority over terms of players' employment including player mobility and salary levels. 4 Under this system, players essentially had no voice in salary determinations and players were contractually restricted from signing with another team.5 Players were forced either to accept the terms as offered by management or to quit the game altogether.6

Should Montana Adopt A Civil Justice Reform Act?, Carl W. Tobias Jan 1992

Should Montana Adopt A Civil Justice Reform Act?, Carl W. Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

Civil justice reform in the federal government has become highly controversial. Each branch of the federal government apparently is vying to outdo the others in the field of civil justice reform. Congress passed the Civil Justice Reform Act of 1990 (CJRA) to reduce expense and delay in federal civil litigation, and the federal judiciary has been implementing that statute since late 1990. In December, 1991, the Montana Federal District Court became one of thirty-four federal districts which issued civil justice expense and delay reduction plans to qualify for designation as Early Implementation District Courts (EIDC) under the CJRA.

During October, …
