Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden
No full textThis essay is an attempt to read Martin Eden, Jack Londonʼs autobiographical novel, in terms of the inextricable relationship between the author and the protagonist. Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.

Martin, R. Lynn, collection, 1920-1973
No full textR. Lynn Martin ran the newspaper, The Echo, which his good friend Zula Bennington Green contributed to. This collection consists mainly of Greene’s writings and photographs that Martin had. This collection also has articles, newsletters, correspondence, programs, and miscellaneous items. Raphael Lynn Martin was born in 1897 and spent most of his life in Brookville, Kansas, and was the editor for the newspaper, The Echo. During the 1940s, he was a member of the Works Projects Administration (WPA). Census lists from the 1920s and 1930s indicate he was also employed in the hardware business. He was a life-long friend of Kansas writer Zula Bennington Greene. He was married to Helen Magnuson Martin, and they had two children, Hugh Juan Martin (1927 - 1990) and James Calvin Martin (1924 - 1970). R. Lynn Martin died in 1973 and is buried in Brookville.https://digitalcommons.pittstate.edu/fa/1196/thumbnail.jp
Electronic structure and chemical bonding of nanocrystalline-TiC/amorphous-C nanocomposites
No full textTheelectronic structure of nanocrystalline (nc-) TiC/amorphous C nanocomposites has beeninvestigated by soft x-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy. The measuredspectra at the Ti 2p and C 1s thresholds of the nanocompositesare compared to those of Ti metal and amorphous C.The corresponding intensities of the electronic states for the valenceand conduction bands in the nanocomposites are shown to stronglydepend on the TiC carbide grain size. An increased chargetransfer between the Ti 3d-eg states and the C 2p states hasbeen identified as the grain size decreases, causing an increasedionicity of the TiC nanocrystallites. It is suggested that thecharge transfer occurs at the interface between the nanocrystalline-TiC andthe amorphous-C matrix and represents an interface bonding which maybe essential for the understanding of the properties of nc-TiC/amorphousC and similar nanocomposites.Original Publication: Martin Magnuson, Erik Lewin, Lars Hultman and Ulf Jansson, Electronic structure and chemical bonding of nanocrystalline-TiC/amorphous-C nanocomposites, 2009, Physical Review B.

Experiences Using Large Scale Video Walls for Distance Education
No full textWe describe our experiences building and using the Rutgers Videowall, a low-cost telepresence system that has been used teaching 15 courses and colloquia. By relaxing typical spatial telepresence features, such as background continuity, we greatly reduced costs and gained flexibility in the rooms it could be deployed in. The lower costs and room flexibility enabled academic departments to use the wall, in contrast to traditional telepresence systems which remained inaccessible. We found that the Videowall’s spatial distortions did not have a significant impact on useability, as our initial survey results show that students had an overall positive experience.Technical report DCS-tr-72
Hans Martin Schwarz Collection 1934 - 1938
No full textThis collection contains clippings of articles by Hans Martin Schwarz (1917, Hamburg – 2006, New York, better known as Martin Ebon), published between 1934 and 1938 in German-Jewish newspapers on a wide variety of subjects such as sports, emigration, the political situation in Germany, and religious attitudes of the young. It also contains reviews of his books "Einer wie Du und Ich" and "Heiteres, Besinnliches, Nachdenkliches."digitizedHans Martin Schwarz (1917, Hamburg – 2006, New York, better known as Martin Ebon), was a journalist and author. In Germany during the 1930s, he published in a variety of German-Jewish periodicals, primarily the Israelitisches Familienblatt. After immigrating to the United States in 1938, he changed his name to Martin Ebon, and published dozens of books in the areas of world affairs and parapsychology.Processe
Low-energy d-d excitations in MnO studied by resonant x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy
No full textWe measured the Mn Lα,β x-ray fluorescence spectra of MnO excited by selected photon energies near the L2,3 absorption edges. The resulting resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectra probe low-lying electronic excited states, due to dd and charge-transfer excitations. Using a two-step model and a purely atomic approximation, we reproduce both energies and varying intensities of dd excitations relative to the electronic recombination peak. Our results show that strongly varying line shapes in resonant x-ray emission need not be due to channel interference effects.Original Publication:S. M. Butorin, J.-H. Guo, Martin Magnuson, P.

Interview with Father James Martin
No full textIn May 2011, the Ignatian Faculty Scholars at Regis University conducted a Skype interview with Father James Martin, S. J., author of The Jesuit Guide to Almost Everything. The Scholars had used Father Martin’s book as a text for their year of study, which focused on Ignatian Spirituality, the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm, and teaching and learning at a Jesuit university. The interview was transcribed and is printed below. Father Martin reflects on the book, and responds to questions about the book itself, about finding God in all learners, and about the Church
