No full textTranscript (50 pages) of interview by Greg Thompson and Tim Larson with Keith B. Farr of Lodi, California, on December 1, 2008Farr (b.1939) was born in Taylor, Utah. The family moved to Nyssa, Oregon, in 1955. He had a first class license at 16. Gordan Kapps "took a chance" on him, and started him in the radio business in 1957. His first job was at KSRV, Ontario, Oregon. Stations he worked for included KKOG, Ogden; KLO, Ogden; KBUH for Art Fishler; KVOG-TV, Ogden, for Art Webb; KLGN with John Hart in Logan; and KIFI in Idaho Falls, where he worked with Phil Riesen. Farr went to Lodi Lake, California at KCVR (KEEN/KBAY) in 1968, and did ten years of "The Coffee Club," in Sacramento. He also worked for the Oakland A\u27s sales office in San Francisco. Farr lists many famous people he has interviewed. Interviewers: Greg Thompson and Tim Larso

William Tappan Thompson state historic marker located on East Jefferson St. facing the town square, Madison.
The marker reads as :
William Tappan Thompson
William Tappan Thompson, famous Georgia journalist and author, was born in Ohio in 1812. Moving to Augusta in 1835, he became associated with Augustus Baldwin Longstreet in the publication of the State Rights Sentinel. In 1838 he founded a literary journal, the Mirror, which in 1842 was merged with a Macon periodical, the Family Companion, to become the Family Companion and Ladies´ Mirror. The first Major Jones letter appeared in one of the last issues of this journal.
In 1843 Thompson took over the editorial direction of the Southern Miscellany, a Madison publication. In the pages of the Miscellany he printed more of the Major Jones letters, using the people and incidents of Madison as a basis for many of his sketches. These letters met with such success that Thompson published them in book form in 1843 as Major Jones´s Courtship.
Thompson left the Miscellany in 1845 and continued his career as journalist and author. In 1850 he founded the Savannah Morning News, which he edited until his death in 1882, building it into one of the state´s most powerful newspapers.

Small-polaron variable-range hopping in quasi-two-dimensional materials: application to PrBa2Cu3-xGax07-y
No full textThis is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Philosophical Magazine B on 1999-01-01, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/13642819908206782.We have developed a theory for variable-rangehopping (VRH) due to small polarons in quasi-two-dimensionalsystems at high temperatures.We included the effects of temperature, electric fields, magnetic fields and scattering in the derivation of the conductivity. We found that the conductivity for quasi-two- dimensional systems depends on these factors differently from three- dimensional systems. We applied the theory to explain the resistivity data of PrBa2Cu3p,Ga,07-l, at high temperatures ( T > 150K). To explain the low- temperature data ( T < 150K), we used the pure electron VRH mechanisms. Good agreement between theory and experiment was found.Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) || Ontario Graduate Scholarships (OGS
Electric-field-dependent variable-range hopping conduction in PrBa2Cu307-y
No full textThis is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Philosophical Magazine B on 1997-02-01, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/13642819708202317.The variable-range hopping conductivities of quasi-two-dimensional systems in electric fields were calculated for the cases of both constant and energy-dependent densities of states. The localized states were considered to be randomly distributed in space and energy coordinates, and the carriers were considered to be distributed according to the Fermi distribution. Approximations yielded analytic results valid for most temperatures and electric fields and included localized states both above and below the Fermi level. We hypothesized that the localized states of PrBa2Cu3O7-y (PBCO) are distributed in the CuO planes, making that compound behave as a quasi-two- dimensional material. We compared our theory with experiments of PBCO-based junctions and found good agreement between theory and experiment.Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC

Dear Mr. Muir:- I take pleasure in extending to you an invitation to be one of the guests of honor of oun people on the occasion of the Blossom Festival, the 18th inst., and add to and enjoy the inspiration and pleasure which we hope the day will afford. I might add that there are several streams and gulches in that immediate vicinity which are very much in need of being inspected by you, while the whole region has acquired a new importance in view of the state road bill which is now in the hands of our good Governor, and which I sincerely hope he will sign, if he has not already done so. I sincerely trust that you will recognize your duty as State Mountain and Gulch Inspector, and find it convenient and enjoyable to bring your family and as many of your friends as possible to Saratoga on the day above indicated. Sincerely yours, ft J [illegible] Secretary. 03546https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/jmcl/28298/thumbnail.jp
On the expressiveness of spider diagrams and commutative star-free regular languages
No full textSpider diagrams provide a visual logic to express relations between sets and their elements, extending the expressiveness of Venn diagrams. Sound and complete inference systems for spider diagrams have been developed and it is known that they are equivalent in expressive power to monadic first-order logic with equality, MFOL[=]. In this paper, we further characterize their expressiveness by articulating a link between them and formal languages. First, we establish that spider diagrams define precisely the languages that are finite unions of languages of the form K {black small square} ?*, where K is a finite commutative language and ? is a finite set of letters. We note that it was previously established that spider diagrams define commutative star-free languages. As a corollary, all languages of the form K {black small square} ?* are commutative star-free languages. We further demonstrate that every commutative star-free language is also such a finite union. In summary, we establish that spider diagrams define precisely: (a) languages definable in MFOL[=], (b) the commutative star-free regular languages, and (c) finite unions of the form K {black small square} ?*, as just described
C. Bertrand Thompson: A Remarkable Man
No full textIf management scholars are familiar with the name C. B. Thompson (1882-1969), it is either to identify him as a Scientific Management bibliographer (Greenwood & Greenwood, 1976) or to recall that he was a disciple of Frederick W. Taylor (Greenwood, 1984). Both are accurate statements but fail to convey the complexities and contributions of his life and work. By drawing together information about C.B. Thompson from disparate sources, we developed a portrait of a unique man of significant accomplishment whose work deserves to be more widely known and more deeply appreciated. Learning more about C. B. Thompson would, perhaps, lead others to agree with the remarks of Paul Planus (1964:40), who, after working with Thompson in France, described him as, “the most remarkable man that I ever met.
