Finn on August 21, 1974 for the Golden Spike Oral History Project.Finn (b. 1886) was born in Arkansas, but the family moved to Utah, where his father was a section foreman for the railroad. According to his father, the outlaw Jesse James was employed by the railroad in Green River, Wyoming. Finn talks about life in Willard, Utah. Other topics include a sugar factory in Ogden, Church Island, mustangs, the Bar-M ranch, price of alcoholic beverages, transportaion, rattlesnakes, and the impact of the railroad on the cattle industry.

Reel 408 Item 5
Issac and Betsy, they started out west Conostoga wagons get rich, I guess,
With two yoke of cattle and an old yeller dog,
And a shanghai rooster and one spotted hog.
They stopped in Salt City, it were in the way;
Brigham saw Betsy and swore she should stay,
And Betsy got frightened and she run like a deer,
Left Brigham a-pawing the dirt like a steer.
Well, Issac and Betsy, they attended a dance;
Issac, he wore his Pike County pants;
Betsy she wore her jewels and rings,
Said Issac, you're an angel, but where are your wings?
Well, Issac, says Betsy, won't you dance with me,
I will if we can, I'gree;
Don't dance me too hard, I'll tell you why I'm too full of that old Akalye.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation

The Effects of Expert and Referent Power on Knowledge Sharing and Knowledge Hiding
No full textPurpose – The purpose of this research study is to determine the ways in which employees’ personal power-expert and referent power influences their knowledge sharing and hiding behaviour. There are hardly any studies that have investigated the effects of employee power and expectations regarding the consequences of divulging knowledge. In this study, the authors investigate whether expected gains and losses in employee personal power influence employees’ willingness to participate in knowledge transfer.
Design/methodology/approach – The authors adopted a two-wave survey design and collected critical data from 288 employees of knowledge-intensive industries identified through online technogroups, such as Stack Exchange. In the first wave, out of the total, 192 knowledge workers attended the follow-up survey. The authors apply polynomial regression followed by surface response analysis to establish the effects of any discrepancy between the current levels of employees’ personal power and their expected levels if they divulge their unique critical knowledge.
Findings – The authors find out that employees having relatively strong personal power are more likely to share knowledge, and the expected losses in power are categorically associated with a reduced intention to share knowledge. The authors also observed an increased knowledge hiding with expected losses in power. Surprisingly, the authors find that these established negative outcomes are also specifically associated with the expected gains in personal power.
Research limitations/implications – The most significant contribution of this study is to establish that power plays an important but complex role in determining the employees’ participation in knowledge transfer activities. The authors specifically conclude that the optimal scenario for knowledge sharing is one in which the employees’ contributions are fairly valued and their reputation is not expected to change because of knowledge sharing.
Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first comprehensive studies that link power to both sharing and hiding of knowledge. This study is also unique in terms of its investigation of the effects of any discrepancy between current levels of employees’ personal power and their expected levels if they share or hide their unique critical knowledge. Thus, this research study is a unique contribution in terms of what and why of an untouched area in the entire knowledge management literature with a special focus on knowledge sharing and hiding

This month's agricultural article is a report from the Dominion Parasite Laboratory on the biological control of pests. Other articles provide an account of the activities of a stage manager and the development of the field of home economics at Macdonald College in Quebec. Campus news addresses the success of the 1934 Conversazione, the commemorating of the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of O. A. C., the attendance at the Canadian Author Lecture, and the successful productions of "The Apple Cart" and "Iolanthe". The Macdonald Institute column comments on the Conversat and women's athletics activities in basketball and the rifle club.

Pseudo Jahn-Teller Effect In The Origin Of Enhanced Flexoelectricity
No full textThe controversy between the theory and experiment in explaining the origin of enhanced flexoelectricity is removed by taking into account the pseudo Jahn-Teller effect (PJTE) which, under certain conditions, creates local dipolar distortions of dynamic nature, resonating between two or more equivalent orientations. The latter become nonequivalent under a strain gradient thus producing enhanced flexoelectricity: it is much easier to orient ready-made dipoles than to polarize an ionic solid. For BaTiO3, the obtained earlier numerical data for the adiabatic potential energy surface in the space of dipolar displacements in the Ti centers were used to estimate the flexoelectric coefficient integral in the paraelectric phase in a one-dimensional model with the strain gradient along the [111] direction: integral = -0.43 X 10(-6) Cm-1. This eliminates the huge contradiction between the experimental data of integral similar to mu Cm-1 for this case and the theoretical predictions (without the PJTE) of 3-4 orders-of-magnitude smaller values. Enhanced flexoelectricity is thus expected in solids with a sufficient density of centers that have PJTE induced dipolar instabilities. It explains also the origin of enhanced flexoelectricity observed in other solids, noticeable containing Nb perovskite centers which are known to have a PJTE instability, similar to that of Ti centers. The SrTiO3 crystal as a virtual ferroelectric in which the strain gradient eases the condition of PJTE polar instability is also discussed.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
