Reflections on Professor R. Inman Johnson: An Interview of G. Allen West
No full textRecorded live at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary on May 20, 1996.An interview of G. Allen West about Professor R. Inman Johnson and his interview of Professor Johnson in 1984. Dr. West was a student under Professor Johnson in the 1930s at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. West discusses the life and character of Professor Johnson who died in 1991. He covered Johnson’s relationships with students, involvement in music and racial relations work in his retirement. Said Johnson was a "Southern gentleman, a Christian, a Baptist, a teacher, a musician, a vocalist, a humorist. He was an outstanding PR man, an outdoorsman, a hunter, a fisherman, a gardener ... this is Professor Johnson, the gentleman, the friend, the man who lived by the side of the road and became a friend to man." Much of the material for this presentation came from Professor R. Inman Johnson’s book "Of parsons and profs" and the Baptist minutes collection

Final Work Plan for Targeted Investigation at Inman, Kansas.
No full textIn 1997, low levels of carbon tetrachloride (below the maximum contaminant level [MCL] of 5 {micro}g/L) were detected in groundwater at Inman, Kansas, by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). The 1997 KDHE sampling was conducted under the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) private well sampling program. The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), a USDA agency, operated a grain storage facility in Inman from 1954 to 1965. Carbon tetrachloride is the contaminant of primary concern at sites associated with former CCC/USDA grain storage operations. Inman is located in southwest McPherson County, approximately 10 mi southwest of the city of McPherson (Figure 1.1). To determine whether the former CCC/USDA facility at Inman is a potential contaminant source and its possible relationship to the contamination in groundwater, the CCC/USDA has agreed to conduct an investigation at Inman, in accordance with the Intergovernmental Agreement between the KDHE and the Farm Service Agency of the USDA. For this work plan, Argonne compiled historical data related to the previous investigations and grain storage operations at Inman. Through a review of documents acquired from all available sources, other potential contaminant source areas (in addition to the former CCC/USDA facility) have been identified as (1) the commercial grain storage structures northwest of Inman, along the railroad right-of-way, and (2) small former private grain storage facilities west of Main Street and near the former CCC/USDA facility at the southern edge of Inman (Figure 1.2). Previous investigations and the potential source areas are discussed in Section 2
Compacted oxide layer formation under conditions of limited debris retention at the wear interface during high temperature sliding wear of superalloys
No full textFor many applications, including power generation, aerospace and the automobile industry, high temperature wear provides serious difficulties where two or more surfaces are able to move relative to one another. It is increasingly the case that with for example, aerospace applications, demands for ever more powerful and efficient engines that thus operate at higher temperatures, conventional lubrication is no longer sufficient to prevent direct contact between metallic surfaces and consequent accelerated wear. One phenomenon that has been observed to reduce metallic contact and thus high temperature wear and friction is the formation of what are termed ‘glazes’, essentially layers of compacted oxide wear debris that becomes sintered together to form a low friction wear resistant oxide surface. This thesis studies the nature of the wear encountered with four different combinations of Superalloys, slid together using a ‘block-on-cylinder’ configuration developed for accelerated simulation testing of car engine ‘valve-on-valve-seat’ wear. Predominantly, Nimonic 80A and Incoloy MA956 were used as sample materials and Stellite 6 and Incoloy 800HT were used as counterface materials
Panamericanismo y nación : La perspectiva de Samuel G. Inman
No full textPanamérica es un término político utilizado en un ámbito diplomático más que un signo de identidad. Por tanto, no tiene el mismo peso simbólico de otros conceptos (como Latino, Ibero o Hispanoamérica). Sin embargo, las Conferencias Panamericanas de 1910 y 1923 coincidieron con la celebración de conmemoraciones relevantes (de independencia fundamentalmente pero también del Congreso de Panamá realizado por Simón Bolívar). Como mostramos en este trabajo, a través de la perspectiva de Samuel Guy Inman (estadounidense que estudió y participó en buena parte de dichos encuentros), las conmemoraciones tuvieron un papel menor y su incorporación en los debates fue utilizado para forzar a Estados Unidos a discutir temas pendientes en la agenda regional, como la Doctrina Monroe y la hegemonía de los Estados Unidos en la Unión Panamericana

No full textMarguerite Inman Davis: first progressive first lady of Virginia
No full textBorn to wealth, Marguerite Inman Davis (1870-1963), daughter of a New York cotton broker of Southern lineage, grew up in the best societies of Georgia and New York and studied piano in Bonn and Paris. After her marriage to Westmoreland Davis in 1893, she continued to travel extensively in Europe and the Orient. In 1903, after she and her husband purchased the 1,500 acre Morven Park estate in Loudoun County, Virginia, Mrs. Marguerite Inman Davis assumed the life of a hostess and pursued her talents as an equestrienne and gardener.
As first lady of Virginia during World War I, Marguerite Davis consciously set an example for women·of the state and nation to enter war work. She volunteered, as president of the Woman's Munition Reserve, to sew silk bags and fill them with smokeless gun powder at Seven Pines outside Richmond. Later she helped save a peach crop from ruin during the war labor shortage. In the course of the Spanish influenza epidemic which swept Richmond between October, 1918, and November, 1919, she served as a volunteer nurse in the pneumonia ward of the John Marshall Emergency Hospital. Yet, while Marguerite Davis played the role of a modern woman and patriot, she also maintained the tradition of southern gentility and hospitality. Entertaining groups of soldiers, students, politicians, and suffragettes, she democratically made the people of the Old Dominion very much at home in the executive mansion during the Davis administration (1918-1922).
From her husband’s defeat in the 1922 senatorial primary until her death, Mrs. Davis contributed generously to many philanthropic and social causes. Unable personally to work in the war effort of World War II as she had in World War I, Marguerite Davis donated two ambulances, several pedigreed Doberman Pinschers, and invested a large part of her husband's estate in war bonds. Throughout her life, Marguerite was generous in giving scholarships to deserving Virginia students.
Mrs. Davis retired from public life after the death of her husband in 1943, and moved to her sister's home in Branford, Connecticut. She continued, however, despite her advancing age to attack the state of Virginia politics. Inflamed by the laudatory eulogies heaped upon Senator Carter Glass at his death in 1947, Mrs. Davis publicly condemned both Glass and the Byrd organization. In establishing the Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation, Marguerite Inman Davis displayed enlightened philanthropic views by providing munificently not only for ordinary scholarships but to make historic Morven Park an endowed center. She remained at Branford, Connecticut, until her death on July 15, 1963.Master of Art

No full textOverview of piezoelectric impedance-based health monitoring and path forward
No full textIn this paper we summarize the hardware and software issues of impedance-based structural health monitoring based on piezoelectric materials. The basic concept of the method is to use high-frequency structural excitations to monitor the local area of a structure for changes in structural impedance that would indicate imminent damage. A brief overview of research work on experimental and theoretical studies on various structures is considered and several research papers on these topics are cited. This paper concludes with a discussion of future research areas and path forward.This work was sponsored by the Department of Energy
