Physics, Atomic

Effects due to the interaction between the 300K background blackbody radiation (BBR) and xenon nf Rydberg atoms are reported. Transitions to nearby d and g levels are observed and the transition rates are found to be consistent with the predictions of a simple theoretical calculation which makes use of electric dipole matrix elements obtained by use of the quantum defect method. When the radiation background is reduced to that appropriate to a black body at liquid nitrogen temperature by cooling...

How much information about the shape of an object can be inferred from its image? In particular, can the shape of an object be reconstructed by measuring the light it reflects from points on its surface? These questions were raised by Horn [HO70] who formulated a set of conditions such that the image formation can be described in terms of a first order partial differential equation, the image irradiance equation. In general, an image irradiance equation has infinitely many solutions. Thus constr...

School administration

Twenty-three practitioner-informants were interviewed in depth and were asked to complete Rokeach's (1972) Value Survey in an attempt to identify the motivations for white persons to initiate, continue, and discontinue involvement as activists and organizers in low-income, urban, interracial community organizations. In order to create a context for the data, the literature regarding various types of organizers and activists for social change is examined as well as five theories of racial pre...

Linguistics

One of the goals of linguistic theory is to discover generalizations about the syntax and semantics of natural languages, and to construct theories of human cognitive capacity and development that explain these generalizations. Each statement about a language is theory-laden, that is, the characterizations of a possible generalization are determined by a theory (regardless of whether or not it is explicit) about the nature of human language. Further, statements about a particular language carry ...

American literature

Robert Coover directs his readers to view his works as elaborate metaphors. He asks that we see reflected in them the process through which man--Christian or non-Christian, "primitive" or scientist--turns his metaphoric apprehension of his universe into mythic "truth," and then gives it power over him. Focusing on Coover's latest and most ambitious novel, The Public Burning, this study examines his fiction with respect to the way in which he juxtaposes contemporary societ...

The thesis comprises three major parts. In Part I, existing writing, both published and unpublished, on the history of school libraries, is surveyed, showing that there is available no comprehensive history of school libraries, or even of school libraries in a country or region. In Part II, the development of school libraries is traced from the eighth century library at York to the school library media centres of the present day, with emphasis on British, American, and Australian school librarie...

The work reported here lies in the area of overlap between artificial intelligence software engineering. As research in artificial intelligence, it is a step towards a model of problem solving in the domain of programming. In particular, this work focuses on the routine aspects of programming which involve the application of previous experience with similar programs. I call this programming by inspection. Programming is viewed here as a kind of engineering activity. Analysis and synthesis by ins...

Though one is led to believe that program transformation systems which perform source-to-source transformations enable the user to understand and appreciate the resulting source program, this is not always the case. Transformations are capable of behaving and/or interacting in unexpected ways. The user who is interested in understanding the whats, whys, wheres, and hows of the transformation process is left without tools for discovering them. I provide an initial step towards the solution of thi...

American history

This study argues that John Hancock (1737-1793) has never received a proper historical evaluation and as a result his career remains largely misunderstood. Furthermore, in most studies of this period, Hancock is negatively portrayed as a vain, weakwilled, ambitious egotist, lacking ability, insight and purpose. This view is dangerously one sided and fails to give Hancock proper credit for his substantive contributions, especially for his important role in the pre-revolutionary war struggle with ...

This thesis is an ethnographic account of the kleva of central Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu - a handful of healers credited with powers beyond those of their neighbours. Their concerns include matters like illness, sorcery, witchcraft, spirits and dreaming. The account is based on seventeen months field research among the Kiai-speaking population on the south-east side of the upper Ari valley in south central Santo. My method is primarily descriptive. In the main body of the thesis I give accounts of...

Motion Pictures

This dissertation investigates the evolving market structure of the American motion picture industry between 1963 and 1980. Essentially, the analysis begins with the Paramount litigation and concentrates its focus on domestic exhibition, tracing its changing relationship to the rest of the system that is the American film business. Production, distribution and foreign exhibition, along with America's theatre owners, are all seen as forming their own separate tiers, exhibiting needs and patte...

Analytical chemistry

Part I: Indirect determination of trace Organic Functional Groups Via Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Three indirect analysis techniques for the determination of isothiocyanates, dialkyl disulfides, and carbonyls have been developed. The isothiocyanate functional group is determined by conversion of the isothiocyanate to the substituted thiourea in an ammoniacal solution. The thiourea is desulfurized with a silver amine reagent, producing a silver sulfide precipitate. The precipitate is isolated...

Malone, Judith (nee Elphick)

I was drawn to this topic of research by my interest in the European movement its evolution over the past thirty odd years and, in particular the British response to these developments. A great deal has been written in this field for the 1950s, 60s and 70s, but there is almost nothing on the war period itself. This seemed an important gap, for the war was the context within which the nations of Western Europe became open to the possibility of a radically new ordering of the economic and politica...
