Decelerating Nazca-South America And Nazca-Pacific Plate Motions, Edmundo O. Norabuena, Timothy H. Dixon, Seth Stein, Christopher G. A. Harrison

School of Geosciences Faculty and Staff Publications

Space geodetic estimates of the rate of Nazca-South America convergence and Nazca-Pacific spreading averaging over several years show that present day rates are significantly slower than the 3 million year average NUVEL-1A model. The implied rates of deceleration are consistent with longer term trends extending back to at least 20 Ma, about the time of initiation of Andes growth, and may reflect consequences of ongoing subduction and construction of the Andes, e.g., increased friction and viscous drag on the subducted slab as the leading edge of South America thickens.

Stratigraphy And Tectonics Of Tertiary Strata Of Southern Cache Valley, North-Central Utah, R. Q. Oaks Jr., K. A. Smith, Susanne U. Janecke, M. E. Perkins, W. P. Nash

Geosciences Faculty Publications

Southern Cache Valley occupies one of several large north-trending valleys in the northeastern part of the Basin and Range Province. It lies between the Wellsville Mountains in the west and the Bear River Range in the east. Paleozoic rocks exposed in the two mountain ranges dip easterly adjacent to the north part of the study area and in a narrow horst along the valley center in the south, but curve to a northerly dip in the southwest. A complex depositional and tectonic evolution of Tertiary strata in southern Cache Valley was determined in this study. Detailed photogeologic and field mapping, …

Folded And Faulted Salt Lake Formation Above The Miocene To Pliocene New Canyon And Clifton Detachment Faults, Malad And Bannock Ranges, Idaho: Field Trip Guide To The Deep Creek Half Graben And Environs, Susanne U. Janecke, J. C. Evans

Geosciences Faculty Publications

Previous studies identified a major detachment terrane in southeast Idaho in the Oxford Ridge area of the Bannock Range. This study shows that these top-to-the-WSW detachment faults are late Cenozoic in age, not Mesozoic to early Tertiary as previously inferred. Provenance and facies patterns in the Miocene-Pliocene Salt Lake Formation in the Deep Creek supradetachment basin show that deposition was syntectonic to slip on the detachment faults. The highly extended Bannock detachment terrane likely persists north to the Snake River Plain and south into Utah. The breakaway for this system lies in the Portneuf Range to the east. At least …

Exclusive Disjunctions In Indefinite And Maybe Information In Relational Databases, Taflan İ. Gündem

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Incorporating indefinite information into databases has been studied extensively. In this paper, we propose a structure called an E-table to represent maybe information and inclusive and exclusive disjunctions. We define the type of redundancies in E-tables and show how to eliminate them. Also we present an extended relational algebra to operate on E-tables. In this paper we expand the concepts and operations defined by Lin and Sunderraman [1] in order to accommodate exclusive disjunctions in relational databases.

Retribution And The Secondary Aims Of Punishment, Gerard V. Bradley

Journal Articles

Punishing criminals involves more than visiting unwelcome experiences–the rack, the gallows, confinement, sitting in a corner–upon them. Privations such as these constitute the behavioral substratum, the raw material of punishment. But behaviors such as confinement become the acts that they are, including acts of punishment by confinement, according to the justifying aim(s) which suffuse(s) the behavior. For behaviors such as confinement are ambiguous; limiting another's freedom of movement may be constitutive of a number of different human acts, including quarantine, kidnapping, institutionalization, and imprisonment for crime. Same behavior, different acts. Each of the ends of punishment shapes privations imposed upon …

Investigations Of A Phenanthroline-Based Azo Dye Ligand And Of Re(I) And Ru(Ii) Complexes Based On This Ligand, Yan Zhang

Masters Theses

A 1,10-phenanthroline based azo dye ligand, phen-azo-phenol, produced by diazotizing 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline (5-NH₂-phen) and then coupling to phenol, and several transition metal complexes containing this ligand, have been synthesized and characterized. The phen-azo-phenol ligands attach to Re(I) and Ru(II) through the phenanthroline linkage to form stable polypyridyl complexes. These complexes show greatly enhanced absorption properties in the visible region when compared to the well-known analogous bipyridine and phenanthroline containing complexes. The visible light absorption of the free ligand and the complexes containing this ligand are greatly affected by the position of the deprotonation equilibrium of the -OH group on …

The Use Of Noncontingent Reinforcement In The Regular Education Classroom With Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Children, Heather A. D. Ochs

Masters Theses

A problem that exists in many regular education classrooms is excessive disruptive behavior of students. This study will examine the disruptive behavior of two children, age 8, who have been diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, in a simulated regular education classroom. Due to a renewed emphasis on linking treatment to functional analysis, noncontingent reinforcement was utilized to determine whether teacher mediated or peer mediated attention can decrease the disruptive behavior. This study used a multi-element design for the functional analysis and a reversal (ABAB) design to evaluate the effects of the noncontingent reinforcement treatment. Results indicated that peer attention was …

Educational Excellence For All Children Act Of 1999, U.S. Department Of Education

Service Learning, General

The President announced that he would shortly send to the Congress the "Educational Excellence for All Children Act of 1999," his proposal to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). This legislation reaffirms the critical role of the Federal Government in working with schools, school districts, and States to promote educational excellence for all children. Every child, parent, grandparent, and taxpayer deserves high quality public schools in their communities.

More specifically, the proposal would build on the 1994 ESEA reauthorization, which established the core principle that disadvantaged children should achieve to the same challenging academic standards as …

Christianity And Time, Robert Cummings Neville

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Christianity has no one theory of time. But there are several constraints that Christian conceptions of time should meet, among which are the following three. First, Christianity arose within a fundamental monotheistic assumption that the world is created by God, and therefore time must be related to dive creation somehow. Second, Christianity arose in response to the person of Jesus of Nazareth who was supposed from the earliest times to have been historically decisive so that time needs to be understood in part in terms of history. Third, Christianity carries on always in the conceptual world of the cultures it …

Alternative Polynomial And Holomorphic Dunford-Pettis Properties, Walden Freedman

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Alternatives to the Polynomial Dunford-Pettis property and the Holomorphic Dunford-Pettis property, called the PDP1 and HDP1 properties, respectively, are introduced. These are shown to be equivalent to the DP1 property, an alternative Dunford-Pettis property previously introduced by the author, thus mirroring the equivalence of the three original properties.

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, some theorems involving inequalities on $p$-valent functions (that is $p$-valenty close-to-convex functions, $p$-valently starlike functions, and $p$-valently convex functions) are given. Moreover, some applications in the theorems which are important for geometric function theory are also included. Keywords: Analytic, $p$-valent, $p$-valently colse-to-convex functions, $p$-valently starlike functions, $p$-valently convex functions, open unit disk, and Jack's Lemma.

Tyurina Components And Rational Cycles For Rational Singularities, Meral Tosun

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we give a geometric proof of Pinkham's theorem on the positive cycles supported on the exceptional divisor of a rational singularity. In order to do this, we give several properties of the Tyurina components of the exceptional divisor and of the points of blowing-up surface of a rational singularity.
