Fall/Winter 2016: St. Norbert Plays in the Digital Sandbox: Part 2
No full textIn December, Rachel Mueller ’14 looked at the types of build-your-own tech opportunities students experienced in the physics classroom of Michael Olson with the Arduino microprocessor. She wraps up our two-part series on playing in the digital sandbox by exploring how both virtual reality and augmented reality are becoming viable teaching tools in the typical St. Norbert classroom.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/snc_magazine_archives_2013-2018/1285/thumbnail.jp
Physical properties of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system in Europe
No full textSuhadolc, P., Panza, G.F. and Mueller, St., 1990. Physical properties of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system in Europe. In: R. Freeman and St.Mueller (Editors), The European Geotraverse, Part 6. ~ectono~hysics, 176: 123-135.
All the geophysical fields considered evidence a clear structural difference between the Adriatic Sea-Ionian Sea basin on one side and the Tyrrhenian Sea-Western Mediterranean basin on the other. The former displays continental type characteristics, while the latter shows features definitely related to young ocean basins.
Lateral variations in the thickness of the high-velocity sub-crustal layer, the “lid”, are clearly evidenced in the whole European area. The lateral changes in the shear-wave velocities of the exosphere-~th~osphe~ system are quite pronounced. Gravity data imply a positive density contrast (0.03-0.07 g,/cm3) in the upper mantie related to almost aseismic high-velocity lithospheric roots, which seem to characterize many erogenic belts. The analysis of a transect along the longitudinal axis of the Alps seems to indicate that relevant lateral variations in density are present in the lithospheric part of the mantle
Paul Mueller Interview, 27 June 2013
No full textPaul Mueller is a successful businessman and a Cleveland native. Both of his parents are immigrants. His mother was a house maid for the Halle brothers and his father was a shepherd in Germany and along with being drafted into Kaiser Wilhelm\u27s army for World War I. His parents met in America and had a candy store for a brief stint in the Depression. They started their family in Lakewood. Mueller went to St. Marks, St. Edward for High school, and then attended Cleveland State University. At CSU he joined the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity and that was a big part of his college life. He talks about minorities, life with the draft, and a protest on campus the day after the Kent State Massacre

Sixty Years of Community: St. Olaf Catholic Parish in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, 1952-2012
No full textThis paper will explore how the parish community of St. Olaf in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, established in 1952, reflects the Roman Catholic Church, specifically at the local, state, and national levels in the United States. It will also discuss the various changes that have occurred in the past 60 years of its history in terms of the various locations of worship for the members, the growth of the community outreach programs, and the effects of the Second Vatican Council. This ecumenical council was a meeting of Catholic bishops from around the whole that brought reform to the Catholic Church and affected the relationship of the Catholic Church to the world. The parish at St. Olaf has grown from having only 125 families in 1952 to over 1,000 families in 2012
Transient observations : the textualizing of St Helena through five hundred years of colonial discourse
No full textThis thesis explores the textualizing of the South Atlantic island of St Helena (a
British Overseas Territory) through an analysis of the relationship between
colonizing practices and the changing representations of the island and its
inhabitants in a range of colonial 'texts', including historiography, travel writing,
government papers, creative writing, and the fine arts.
Part I situates this thesis within a critical engagement with post-colonial
theory and colonial discourse analysis primarily, as well as with the recent
'linguistic turn' in anthropology and history. In place of post-colonialism's rather
monolithic approach to colonial experiences, I argue for a localised approach to
colonisation, which takes greater account of colonial praxis and of the continuous
re-negotiation and re-constitution of particular colonial situations.
Part II focuses on a number of literary issues by reviewing St Helena's
historiography and literature, and by investigating the range of narrative tropes
employed (largely by travellers) in the textualizing of St Helena, in particular
with respect to recurrent imaginings of the island in terms of an earthly Eden.
Part III examines the nature of colonial 'possession' by tracing the island's
gradual appropriation by the Portuguese, Dutch and English in the sixteenth and
early seventeenth century and the settlement policies pursued by the English
East India Company in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century.
Part IV provides an account of the changing perceptions, by visitors and
colonial officials alike, of the character of the island's inhabitants (from the late
eighteenth to the early twentieth century) and assesses the influence that these
perceptions have had on the administration of the island and the political status of
its inhabitants (in the mid- to late twentieth century).
Part V, the conclusion, reviews the principal arguments of my thesis by
addressing the political implications of post-colonial theory and of my own
research, while also indicating avenues for further research.
A localised and detailed exploration of colonial discourse over a period of
nearly five hundred years, and a close analysis of a consequently wide range of
colonial 'texts', has confirmed that although colonising practices and
representations are far from monolithic, in the case of St Helena their continuities
are of as much significance as their discontinuities
