Reference to index of papers of Roy Bridges (1885-1952), Tasmanian writer and newspaper reporter and his sister Hilda Bridges correspondence, papers and manuscripts
No full textPapers of Roy Bridges (1885-1952), Tasmanian writer and newspaper reporter, including some correspondence and agreements with publishers and manuscripts or typescripts of much of his work, including unpublished material. The Collection also includes manuscripts of Hilda Bridges, Roy's sister.
A catalogue of The Roy Bridges Collection compiled and introduced by D. H. Borchardt and Mrs Bonnie Tilley provides a detailed list and index of the literary ms and is appended. Some of the manuscript drafts are very rough and untitled. A supplement of additional items not in the catalogue has been added.
A complete set of Roy Bridges published works was presented to the State Library of Tasmania. Some early manuscript material is in the Mitchell Library, Sydney.

Linear oscillations of axisymmetric viscous liquid bridges
No full textSmall amplitude free oscillations of axisymmetric capillary bridges are considered for varying values of the capillary Reynolds number C-1 and the slenderness of the bridge Λ . A semi-analytical method is presented that provides cheap and accurate results for arbitrary values of C-1 and Λ ; several asymptotic limits (namely, C>> 1, C>>1, Λ >> 1 \ {and} \ |π -Λ |>> 1 ) are considered in some detail, and the associated approximate results are checked. A fairly complete picture of the (fairly complex) spectrum of the linear problem is obtained for varying values of C and Λ . Two kinds of normal modes, called capillary and hydrodynamic respectively, are almost always clearly identified, the former being associated with free surface deformation and the latter, only with the internal flow field; when C is small the damping rate associated with both kind of modes is comparable, and the hydrodynamic ones explain the appearance of secondary (steady or slowly-varying) streaming flow
United They Fall: Why the International Community Should Not Promote Military Integration after Civil War
No full textThe single strongest predictor of civil war is a nation having had one in the past, and preventing the recurrence of civil war has thus become the critical problem for both scholarship and policy. The conventional wisdom urges the creation of capable, legitimate, and inclusive postwar states to reduce the risk of relapse into civil war, and international peacebuilders have often encouraged the formation of a new national army including members of the war’s opposing sides. However, military integration has received little theoretical or empirical attention. Filling that gap, we argue that both the theoretical logics and the empirical record identifying military integration as a significant contributor to durable post-civil war peace are weak. Our analysis of eleven cases finds little evidence that military integration played a substantial causal role in preventing the return to civil war and little support for the likely causal mechanisms. Military integration does not usually send a costly signal of the parties’ commitment to peace, provide communal security, employ many possible spoilers, or act as a powerful symbol of a unified nation. We conclude that it is both unwise and unethical for the international community to press military integration on reluctant local forces.Based in part on a larger collective project: Roy Licklider (Ed.).

Ekla Chalo Re: a tribute to Ms. Mary Roy
No full text
This is a tribute to activist Mary Roy, who passed away in 2022. The author traces the life of Mary Roy, highlighting the ways in which she challenged gendered norms and expectations. She was the applicant in a landmark case which brought equal property rights for Syrian Christian women in India. The author reminds readers that women's rights are human rights and change begins with us.

Interview with William B. Bridges
No full textAn interview in three sessions, in May and June 2001, and an Addendum, March 2004, with William B. Bridges, Carl F. Braun Professor of Engineering in the Division of Engineering and Applied Science. Dr. Bridges received his undergraduate and graduate education at the University of California at Berkeley (BS in electrical engineering, 1956; MS, 1957; PhD, 1962). At Berkeley in graduate school, he worked with John Whinnery and Charles K. (Ned) Birdsall on microwave vacuum tubes. He recalls that work and comments on its military applications. He then went to Hughes Research Laboratories (now HRL Laboratories LLC), for which he still is a consultant. Recalls gas laser work in the early 1960s at HRL and Bell Laboratories and the development of the argon-ion laser. In 1977 he joined the Caltech faculty with a joint appointment in electrical engineering and applied physics, while continuing to consult at Hughes. At Caltech he began working on laser isotope separation and later on far-infrared lasers. He discusses his various graduate students in electrical engineering; his colleagues John Pierce, Hardy Martel, Robert Cannon, Roy Gould, and Sverre Eng; his part in developing an undergraduate option in electrical engineering and in building up that department; his work as executive officer for electrical engineering (1978-1981). Recalls his visiting professorship at the University of Göteborg, Sweden, summer 1989; technical advisor and board member of Uniphase Corporation, a fiber-optic-communications company (now JDS Uniphase) in the 1980s and 1990s. Comments on the difficulties faced by women in engineering and his establishment of a chapter of the Society of Women Engineers at Caltech. Discusses his involvement with Caltech's Program in Advanced Technologies in partnership with TRW, Aerojet, General Motors, and GTE. Concludes the interview with his recollections of Caltech President Marvin L. (Murph) Goldberger's attempt to set up a study center at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for the U.S. Army (the Arroyo Center) and his recollections of Goldberger's successor as president, Thomas E. Everhart, whom Bridges knew from Hughes and Berkeley.
The Addendum to the interview concerns Bridges's marriage to Linda J. McManus
