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

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
Crystal structure prediction based on density functional theory
No full textThe atomic arrangements in solids fundamentally govern the physical properties of a material. In solid state physics, resolving the crystal structure is therefore one of the key approaches when investigating novel materials. However, experimental methods to determine the crystal structure can be very difficult, expensive, or even impossible, depending on the problem and external conditions applied to the material. Examples are high pressure experiments, where accessible pressures are limited to roughly 400 GPa, or investigations of materials with constituents that cannot be detected in X-ray diffraction experiments. Furthermore, investigating crystal structures is not only fundamental in material science, but also in chemistry, biology and pharmacy. Therefore, efficient computational methods for predicting crystal structures based solely on the system's composition would provide a powerful tool with wide scientific applications.
In 1994, Angelo Gavezzotti published an article titled ``Are Crystal Structures Predictable?'', providing simultanously the simple answer: ``no''. Meanwhile, with increasing computational resources, the situation has changed and prediction of crystal structures from first principle calculations has become feasible, while still remaining a demanding task. In 2004, the minima hopping method was developed and has there-since been successfully applied to predict structures in a wide range of non-periodic systems. In this thesis, we present an extended version of the minima hopping method for crystal structure prediction by generalizing the efficient search algorithm for finding the most stable structures within any periodic system. As applications of this approach, we investigated binary Lennard-Jones benchmark mixtures, silicon crystals, high pressure phases of carbon resulting from cold compressed graphite, superconduction phases in disilane and low energy structures in the hydrogen storage material LiAlH4
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

Amada's blessings from the peyote gardens of South Texas
No full text"Amada Cardenas, a Mexican American woman from the borderlands of South Texas, played a pivotal role in the little-known history of the peyote trade. She and her husband were the first federally licensed peyote dealers. They began harvesting and selling the sacramental plant to followers of the Native American Church (NAC) in the 1930s, and after her husband's death in the late 1960s Mrs. Cardenas continued to befriend and help generations of NAC members until her death in 2005, just short of her 101st birthday. Author Stacy B. Schaefer, a close friend of Amada, spent thirteen years doing fieldwork with this remarkable woman. Her book weaves together the geography, biology, history, cultures, and religions that created the unique life of Mrs. Cardenas and the people she knew. Schaefer includes their words to help tell the story of how Mexican Americans, Tejanos, gringos, Native Americans, and others were touched and inspired by Amada Cardenas's embodiment of the core NAC values: faith, hope, love, and charity"..
