Last-Ditch Warfare In Ancient Mesoamerica Recalls The Book Of Mormon, John L. Sorenson

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Warfare is a constant theme in the Book of Mormon. Conflicts with varying motivations erupted between the Nephites and Lamanites from the beginning of their sojourn in the New World. Ultimately, the Nephites as a sociopolitical group were exterminated in one climactic battle when hundreds of thousands died in a single day. Have Mesoamerican archaeologists detected an intensity and scale of warfare great enough to account for the extermination of a people like the Nephites? Yes, there is now good reason to believe that the period when the Nephites were being destroyed by their enemies was characterized in southern Mexico …

Was There Hebrew Language In Ancient America? An Interview With Brian Stubbs, Brian Stubbs

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

In an interview with John L. Sorenson, linguist Brian Stubbs discusses the evidence he has used to establish that at least one language family in Mesoamerica is related to Semitic languages. Stubbs explains how his studies of Near Eastern languages, coupled with his studies of Uto-Aztecan, helped him find related word pairs in the two language families. The evidence for a link between Uto-Aztecan and Semitic languages, or even Egyptian or Arabic, is still tentative, although the evidence includes all the standard requirements of comparative or historical linguistic research: sound correspondences or consistent sound shifts, morphological correspondences, and a substantial …

What's In A Name?: Nephi, Paul Y. Hoskisson

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Though the name Nephi conforms in some ways to common Semitic patterns, none of the possible consonantal roots that appear in Hebrew can be applied to the name. Other possible sources such as Ugaritic or Egyptian may be considered.

The Problematic Role Of Dna Testing In Unraveling Human History, John L. Sorenson

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Over the last century, new techniques of scientific analysis have been developed that have been applied with the intent to clarify the course of human history. Immediately after World War II, blood group data seemed to provide a magic key to open up the history of the world’s populations, but by the 1960s such studies were shown to be unrealistic and misleading. The new tool in human biology and anthropology is DNA analysis. Despite cautions from the best scientists about the limits the new findings have for interpreting human history, some enthusiasts continue to claim too much for DNA study.

Taxing The Establishment Clause: The Revolutionary Decision Of The Arizona Supreme Court In Kotterman V. Killian, Kevin G. Welner

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

This article explores the nature and implications of a 1999 decision of the Arizona Supreme Court, upholding the constitutionality of a state tax credit statute. The statute offers a $500 tax credit to taxpayers who donate money to non-profit organizations which, in turn, donate the money in grants to students in order to help defray the costs of attending private and parochial schools. The author concludes that the Arizona decision elevates cleverness in devising a statutory scheme above the substance of long-established constitutional doctrine.

Driven Vortices In Confined Geometry: The Corbino Disk, M. Cristina Marchetti

Physics - All Scholarship

The fabrication of artificial pinning structures allows a new generation of experiments which can probe the properties of vortex arrays by forcing them to flow in confined geometries. We discuss the theoretical analysis of such experiments in both flux liquids and flux solids, focusing on the Corbino disk geometry. In the liquid, these experiments can probe the critical behavior near a continuous liquid-glass transition. In the solid, they probe directly the onset of plasticity.

Final Quantum Nf State Analysis For Multiply Charged Ion-Circular Rydberg Target Collisions, K. R. Cornelius, Ronald E. Olson

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The classical trajectory Monte Carlo method has been used to simulate fully stripped ion-circular Rydberg atom collisions. We report that the mechanisms that govern the capture process for ions colliding with aligned Rydberg targets, namely direct and indirect velocity matching, alternate as to which is dominant. Previous experimental and theoretical results for singly charged ion-Rydberg atom collisions demonstrate that direct capture processes dominate at intermediate collision speeds. We have found that for highly charged ion-Rydberg atom collisions electron capture via indirect velocity matching is dominant at intermediate collision speeds and contributes up to 90% of the total capture cross-section.

Brazil: Oil Spills Bring Calls For Accountability, Notisur

NotiEn: An Analytical Digest About Energy Issues in Latin America

After three damaging oil spills within ten days, environmentalists called for more accountability, especially from state-owned oil giant Petroleo Brasileiro (PETROBRAS). The latest rash of incidents followed a January spill from a broken PETROBRAS pipeline, which did extensive damage to the Guapimirim mangrove swamps in Guanabara Bay just north of Rio de Janeiro . In the most serious of the latest spills, a pipeline at the Getulio Vargas Refinery in Araucaria burst and dumped more than 4 million liters of crude oil into the Barigui River, a tributary of the Iguacu River, on July 16. Officials called the spill the …

The Dynamics Of The Planktonic Communities Of Two Oregon Reservoirs, Miguel Angel Estrada

Dissertations and Theses

From June 1998 to July 1999, the dynamics of the plankton in Hagg Lake and Barney Reservoir were studied with the purpose to identify the succession dynamics of the planktonic species, to test the Plankton Ecology Group (PEG) model, and to explore the relationships between these successions and the physical and chemical variables.
