Nils Emil Lingwall, Saving the legacy: an oral history of Utah\u27s World War II veterans, ACCN 2070, American West Center, University of Utah
No full textTranscript (51 pages) of an interview by Becky B. Lloyd with Nils Emil Lingwall on March 25, 2006. From tape number 759 in the "Saving the Legacy" Oral History ProjectLingwall (b. 1922) joined the National Guard in 1940 as part of the 145th Field Artillery Regiment (later Battalion) and was called to active duty in March 1941. He shipped out from San Luis Obispo, California, on 6 December, but returned to San Francisco due to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Later based in Hawaii. His unit fought at Kwajalein, Saipan, Tinian, Okinawa, and Leyte. Discharged August 1945. Interviewed by Becky Lloyd. 51 pages
The influence of conversational context and the developing lexicon on the calculation of scalar implicatures: Insights from Spanish-English bilingual children
No full textAlthough monolingual children do not generally calculate the upper-bounded scalar implicature (SI) associated with ‘some’ without additional support, monolingual Spanish-speaking children have been reported to do so with algunos (‘some’), and further distinguish algunos from unos. Given documented cross-linguistic influence in interface phenomena in bilinguals, we asked whether young Spanish-English bilinguals calculate SIs with algunos, or if there is an effect of acquiring languages with overlapping but diverging lexical entries. Two experiments reveal that not only do bilinguals inconsistently calculate SIs, Spanish monolinguals do not always either. In Experiment 1, bilinguals did not calculate the SI associated with algunos. However, in Experiment 2, which calls upon their awareness of speaker-hearer dynamics, they did. This research highlights the challenges arising from interpreting linguistic phenomena where lexical, semantic, and pragmatic information intersect, and is a call for further investigation with bilinguals in a rapidly growing area where bilingual research is lacking
Birthday party during social distancing [4]
No full text"My youngest daughter is a Senior at Jordan High School this year. I have watched her get ready for months planning how she and her sister were going to make her prom dress, which now is probably being cancelled, then graduation also looks like it will be cancelled. So there was no way I was going to let her 18th Birthday party was going to be cancelled. I had each of her siblings and nieces and nephews write her notes to put in a memory jar, then I got all if the party guests out of the attic and threw her the only safe social distancing party I could think of. Below are the pictures of the 18th birthday party and guests of Hunter Lingwall.

Resilient and Dynamic Modulus Testing For M-E Pavement Design
No full text311247This project was originally funded with Principle Investigator (PI) Dr. Soonkie Nam, with Dr. Bret Lingwall as co-PI serving in a support role. The project began in late 2015, and the project was turned over to Dr. Lingwall as PI when Dr. Nam left SDSMT in August of 2017. Due to insurmountable equipment malfunctions, none of the dynamic modulus or flow number tests performed by the research team are reliable for use by SDDOT. The results are skewed by large temperature swings in the equipment. Despite many attempts to repair, the device continuous to pump heat into test specimens. As a result, we have agreed that the project be terminated. This report serves, by the mutual agreement reached on December 20th, 2019 at our in-person meeting in the Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory at The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT) (and confirmed in our follow-up communications) to summarize the work performed and close-out the research project SDDOT 2014-21
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
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
