Oral history interview with Ron Schaefer
No full textRonald Schaefer, a 1972 graduate of Oklahoma State University, recalls his youth in Marshall, Oklahoma, the hometown of Dr. Angie Debo, historian and author who focused on the mistreatment of Native Americans throughout history. He shares memories and history of Marshall, as well as his memories of Dr. Debo, reading personal notes that she wrote to him and his family, and sharing details of personal conversations. He also reminisced about her effect on those around her.The Remembering Angie Debo Collection is a series of interviews conducted with friends and supporters of Angie Debo, an American historian
Measuring Photoelastic Constants with Schaefer-Bergmann Diffraction
No full textAbstractWe present a new method for measuring the ratios of photoelastic coefficients using Schaefer-Bergmann diffraction. We demon- strate our technique for isotropic fused silica and the trigonal crystal α-BaB2O4. The measured results for fused silica agree with the known values to within 0.4%. For α-BaB2O4, we compare our Schaefer-Bergmann diffraction results by measuring the photoelastic coefficients with the established Dixon method
Paul Schaefer Collection, 1870-1997
No full textThe Paul Schaefer collection consists of ca. 62 cu ft of correspondence, maps, litigation manuscripts, legislative documents, pamphlets, circulars, published materials, photographic material, audio recordings, video recordings, and art prints. The collection is in good condition, however some of the material exhibits water or insect damage. The dates within the collection range from 1870 to1997, with the bulk of the collection falling between 1940 and 1997. This collection documents Schaefer\u27s lengthy career as an environmental grass roots organizer and author, his work in home building and historic restoration projects, and his family life.https://digitalworks.union.edu/arl_findingaids/1036/thumbnail.jp
The Political Philosophy of Montaigne
No full textThis provocative book provides a comprehensive interpretation of Montaigne\u27s Essays as a work of political philosophy. David Lewis Schaefer diverges from the prevailing view, which prizes the Essays as an example of authentic literary self-portrayal but holds that the book is not a coherent philosophical work. Arguing for Montaigne\u27s significance as one of the philosophic architects of the intellectual revolution that generated the distinctive characteristics of modernity, Schaefer demonstrates the extent to which Montaigne was a systematic, radical, and political thinker. For the 2018 second printing, the author has included a list of his most important publications on Montaigne since this book\u27s original publication

He studied chemistry and attended a textile school. In 1905 he entered the cotton spinning-mill of his grandfather Salomon Kauffmann in Wuestegiersdorf (today Głuszyca, Poland). Between 1918 and 1933 Schaefer was its director. He and his Gentile wife emigrated to Holland in 1939.Brief summary in Max Kreutzberger: "Leo Baeck Institute New York, Bibliothek und Archiv; Katalog": C 348Published in Monika Richarz: "Juedisches Leben in Deutschland": Vol. II 23Domestic life; 19th cent.Education; primary and secondary; 1871-1918Franc
Molecular Control of Lens Development in Xenopus Laevis
No full textThe formation of the embryonic lens is a classic system for the study of tissue interactions, termed inductive interactions. Chapter 1 will present an overview of lens formation, focusing on the inductive interactions involved in lens formation, including the presentation of a model of lens induction, and recent work examining the molecular control during embryonic lens formation. In the anuran, Xenopus laevis, there is an alternative lens-forming process termed cornea-lens transdifferentiation. Considering that both lens-forming processes result in the same ultimate outcome, it begs the question: How related are the molecular events involved in the embryonic and regenerative processes? Chapter 2 will examine gene expression during cornea-lens transdifferentiation and establish that the suite of gene expression involved in embryonic lens formation is also involved in cornea-lens transdifferentiation. These results support the idea that the transdifferentiating cornea could prove to be a useful source of material in producing a library of genes generally involved in lens formation. A subtracted library was constructed from 1--4 day transdifferentiating corneas in order to isolate novel genes involved in lens formation. This approach was found to be successful for identifying new genes, which are expressed during embryonic lens development. Chapter 3 will discuss a screen of genes isolated from this subtracted library. The inductive events regulating the expression of one of there genes will be discussed. The results of this screen and the results of the second chapter will be used to analyze the question: Can temporal patterns of gene expression be correlated to the particular properties of competence, bias, specification, commitment, and differentiation? There may be other properties that have not yet been identified in either a developmental or experimental context, which could be revealed by examining a broad panel of gene expression. Chapter 4 will examine the temporal patterns of gene expression during embryonic lens formation and assess the model of lens induction presented in Chapter 1.Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-28T15:17:08Z (GMT).
