His first administrative position at Ohio State was as Executive Dean of Student Relations. He also served as a member of the Athletic Council in the year the Council denied Ohio State's participation in the Rose Bowl. Bonner was closely involved in planning and building Lincoln and Morrill towers, and in the construction of the West Campus. Once Bonner was named Vice President for Educational Services he had broadly defined responsibilities, including oversight of the library, which was being automated at the time. Bonner, who had received his commission through ROTC, worked hard to retain the three ROTC programs on campus in an era when many universities had eliminated the

    Airborne command and center. Army Ground Forces study no. 25.

    A history of the Airborne Command and Center was compiled by various hands during the course of the war. This was completely reworks by the author, Lt. Col. John T. Ellis, Jr., during the fall of 1945, with the vigorous support of the Chief of Training, Col. M.A. Quinto, and extended to reflect more adequately the development of airborne organization and tactics during the war, as viewed from the Center Headquarters. The history of the Army Ground Forces as a command was prepared during the course of the war and completed immediately thereafter. The studies prepared in Headquarters, Army Ground Forces, were written by professional historians, three of whom served as commissioned officer and one as a civilian. The histories of the subordinate commands were prepared by historical officers, who except in Second Army, acted as such in addition to other duties.

    An investigation of arbitration cases involving selected industrial engineering techniques

    No full text
    This thesis has as its purpose the determination of the need for arbitrators with a knowledge of certain industrial engineering techniques, and the technological base of the industry. The procedure to be followed in this investigation is first to limit the techniques considered to wage incentives and job evaluation. The investigation consists of (1) a review of the literature to determine the history of arbitration, the selection of arbitrators, the citing of cases involving industrial engineering techniques, and laws relating to the arbitration process, (2) a review of the principles of the techniques involved in the cited cases, (3) a review of the background of arbitrators presiding during the hearing of the cited cases, (4) an analysis of the cases and the background of the arbitrators, and (5) a determination of the need for arbitrators versed in the techniques of industrial engineering. Information and principles involving the techniques of job evaluation and wage incentives were taken from various technical books utilized by industrial engineers. Vernon's Annotated Revised Civil Statutes of the State Of Texas were used to determine the law regarding arbitration. All volumes of Labor Arbitration Reports and Labor Arbitration Cumulative Digest and Index with Table of Cases were reviewed to obtain arbitration cases and arbitrators' background. The author concludes that to analyze properly the arguments presented by labor and management, and to make an adequate decision on the evidence presented, the arbitrator should have a knowledge of the technological base of the subject industry, as well as the industrial engineering techniques. Also, when technical information is presented in evidence, it is highly desirable that the arbitrator, to comprehend the technical material, have a technical background. It was further concluded from information available that there is a shortage and therefore need for arbitrators having a knowledge of industrial engineering techniques and the technological base of the industry.Industrial Engineering, Department o

    Analyzing modal decomposition data of finite antenna arrays

    No full text
    Traditional antenna array theory is well suited for guiding the design of very large, uniform arrays. When an array is large enough one can often approximate that the array is of infinite extent, greatly simplifying the analysis of the structure and significantly reducing the cost of simulation. However, as array size decreases these approximations break down and the total radiating structure is subject to finite array effects. Such effects can perturb the expected radiation patterns and cause large variations in impedance across the array elements. These effects can be partially mitigated through conditioning certain elements of the array, or adding terminated “dummy” elements to the array. These methods often require many iterations of simulation and can become costly as the number of parameterized variables grows. In order to better understand the finite array effects and reduce our dependency on parametric simulations, we study a modal decomposition of the array currents. In particular we use characteristic mode analysis (CMA) which produces an indexed set of “simpler” eigencurrents, and eigenvalues that dictate the energy storage properties of the modes. These modes are dependent entirely on the method of moments impedance matrix of the structure, and therefore are independent of the array feeding method. Whereas CM is often used in the study of single port, electrically small structures that are dominated by one or two modes, our template arrays are electrically large and made of multiple disjoint elements, with multiple feed points. This work explores and catalogs the types of characteristic mode results attained from two different classes of antenna arrays. We calculate and compare the accuracy of our modal summations and determine how matrix conditioning affects the modal decompositions of different arrays and different array elements. These results can help establish expected accuracy guidelines for this electrically large class of problemsSubmission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-12-01The student, John Outwater Jr., accepted the attached license on 2019-09-20 at 14:23.The student, John Outwater Jr., submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-09-20 at 14:35.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-09-20 at 16:17.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14462 on 2020-02-28 at 17:35:36Made available in DSpace on 2020-03-02T22:38:38Z (GMT).

    The dramaturgy of the tragedies of John Webster and John Ford with special reference to their use of stage imagery.

    No full text
    PhDThe imagery of the plays of John Webster and John Ford is not only verbal: in staging as well as language these dramas display strongly imagistic, symbolic elements. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the seven extant tragedies of Webster and Ford from the point of view of their total dramatic nature - to examine the staging, costumes, hand and large properties, movement and gestures as well as the verbal imagery, and the interplay of these verbal and visual elements. The original appearance, of these plays in their contemporary theatre, and the dramatist's intentions for performance, can only be surmised. The original stage directions are examined for hints of the original presentation: these stage directions may not always be authorial, but, especially in the case of Ford, they seem to reveal the playwright's hand. The dialogue, too, frequently implies particular gestures, grouping or stage placement. The visual imagery, it is here suggested, is created by the dramatist for several purposes: a moral or ironical point may be silently established; a chain of related visual motifs may bind various actions and characters into an organic union; a visualization may appeal outward to other works of art or theatrical or non-dramatic conventions, enlarging the immediate significance by this shorthand reference; visual ceremonies may make concrete the more ephemeral words and feelings of the characters. Each of the tragedies is studied in a separate chapter, in the following order: Webster's The White Devil, The Duchess of Malfi, and Appius and Virginia (the authorship of which is disputed); John Ford's The Broken Heart, Love's Sacrifice, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, and Perkin Warbeck. A conclusion indicates the differences between Webster's more overtly theatrical visualizations and Ford's quiet tableaux. The thesis is accompanied by illustrations which are either explanatory or comparative
