Conformational analysis of phosphine ligands, using molecular mechanics and cone angle calculations
No full textAn empirical approach to the study of phosphine compounds was completed using Molecular Mechanics 2 (MM2), and several computer programs written to descibe and analyze the final geometric orientations of the molecules. The calculations were performed on 64 conformers of 16 different phosphines. Results from these calculations were compared to those previously obtained for MNDO and MINDO/3 calculations, and to experimental data. Cone angles calculated from the MM2 optimized geometries, were compared to Tolman's original work, and to values obtained from semiempirical calculations, and to experimental results. In general, it was found that weighted average cone angles best represent the size of phosphine ligands.Thesis (M.S.)Department of Chemistr
Shoshonean peoples and the overland trails: frontiers of the Utah Superintendency of Indian Affairs, 1849-1869
No full textEdited by Richard L. Saunders, ethnohistorical essay by Gregory E. Smoak.Includes bibliographical references and index.This compilation of Dale Morgan's historical work on Indians in the Intermountain West focuses primarily on the Shoshone who lived near the Oregon and California trails. Three connected works by Morgan are included: First is his classic article on the history of the Utah Superintendency of Indian Affairs. This is followed by an important set of government reports and correspondence from the National Archives concerning the Eastern Shoshone and their leader Washakie. Morgan heavily annotated these for serial publication in the Annals of Wyoming. He also wrote a previously unpublished history of early relations among the Western Shoshone, emigrants, and the government along the California Trail. Morgan biographer Richard L. Saunders introduced, edited, and further annotated this collection. His introduction includes an intellectual biography of Morgan that focuses on the place of the anthologized pieces in Morgan's corpus. Gregory E. Smoak, a leading historian of the Shoshone, contributed an ethnohistorical essay as additional context for Morgan's work.Dale L. Morgan and the Study of Indian Affairs / Richard L.

The ‘insider/outsider’ dilemma of ethnography: Working with young children and their families in cross-cultural contexts
No full textIn this article we unravel the difficulty of being researchers in the homes and classrooms of children and
their families whose origins are, for one of us, very different and, for the other, very similar to our own.
We first situate our work within theories of early socialization and literacy teaching which underpin our
understanding of how young children in cross-cultural contexts learn. We then turn to the question of
working with the families and teachers of these children which poses dilemmas not explained by the theories
presented. We illustrate these through a series of vignettes typifying both the ‘Outsider’ and the ‘Insider’ role.
The stories highlight paradigmatic moments of complexity, clashes or collusion which we unpick in terms of
their generalizability for others working in the field. Finally, we extend theories of dialogue in our search for
a methodology for collaborative work in future cross-cultural ethnographic studies
How the hydraulic and mechanical properties of wood influence branch form in Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.)
No full textAn in-depth understanding of the functions of branches (hydraulics and mechanics) and how they influence canopy form is needed in order to assess the impacts of cultural practices such as pruning in the future. This dissertation is comprised of three studies that investigate how anatomical and material properties of wood vary along Acer platanoides L. (Aceraceae) branches and whether the variation influences branch form.
The hydraulic study found that vessel radii size decreased and density increased in the distal direction, consistent with the hydraulic flow found in previous studies. Vessel density was highest 5 cm proximal to the most recent terminal bud scale scar, suggesting that the increase in vessels may be due to hydraulic constrictions and partitioning through the branch attachment zones for the paired lateral branches.
The mechanics study observed that modulus of elasticity (E) was 75% lower at the branch tips than in the proximal (structural) locations. Density-specific stiffness (E/ρ) was not found to vary between the three structural locations, suggesting that the elastic similarity modeled cannot be rejected due to variation in E/ρ. Variation in E was negatively correlated with the percent area of vessels and positively correlated with mean fiber cell wall size, suggesting a balance between hydraulics and mechanics.
The allometric study found branches transitioned from a log-log curvilinear relationship converging to a linear relationship after 3 m in length. The linear relationship was best modeled with the elastic similarity model. The shift in allometry corresponds to a shift from increasing slenderness ratio (length / radius) with increasing branch length to a decreasing ratio as flexible sun branches transition to stiffer structural branches. The number of subordinate branches was found to increase after the primary branch length passed 3 m, suggesting that branches transition to a structural role as size increases.
The differences in anatomical and material properties, the increase in the number of lateral branches and the shift in allometry are probably related to wood development type. Torsional balance of bending moments were found to be relatively evenly distributed along the left and right side of the branches.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Gregory Ames Dahl
