Greta Bayer Family Collection 1888-1961
No full textThis collection contains certificates, vital documents, letters of recommendation, military documents, emigration documents, and photographs related to Greta Bayer's father, Friedrich Stux (born 1888), and her stepfather, Wilhelm Freud (1887-1966).A German language, Jewish prayer book has been removed to the LBI Library. It is dedicated by its anonymous female author (Verfasserin) and the book’s publisher to Louise von Rothschild, wife of Mr. A. Carl von Rothschild in Frankfurt am Main.A tablecloth, allegedly woven in honor of Francis' I. coronation in 1804, showing faintly the skyline of Vienna with a profile of Francis I. has been removed to the LBI Art and Objects Collection.Greta Bayer's stepfather, Wilhelm Freud was born 1887 in Vienna, Austria, the son of Carl Freud and Fanny née Kohn. He was a lieutenant in the Imperial Austrian army, and later the director of sales for the Berlin oil company "Olex" (Deutsche Benzin und Petroleum GmbH). He immigrated to the US in 1940 via Belgium and Great Britain and died 1966 in Florida.Friedrich Stux was an attorney in Czechoslovakia, born in Vienna in 1888 to Leopold Stux and Theresia (Rösi) née Löb. In 1939, he emigrated to Great Britain, where he died. He was married to Anna née Tobias (1892, Vienna - 1968, California), and their daughter was Greta Bayer.Processeddigitize
Investigation of microscale brittle fracture opening in diamond with olivine inclusion using XFEM and cohesive zone modeling
No full textInclusions trapped in diamonds are a fundamental source of information to probe the Earth's interior, provided that the pressure conditions at which the diamond grew are correctly determined. This study explores the traditional assumptions in geothermobarometry for olivine-in-diamond host-inclusion systems by employing extended finite element methods (XFEM) and cohesive zone models (CZM) to quantify the contributions of brittle fractures to the relaxation of the residual stress of inclusions. Our analysis was performed assuming that the host-inclusion system does not contain fluids and that the unfractured minerals are elastically isotropic. Our models show that the damage initiation is solely dependent on the shape of the inclusion and on the fracture strength of the diamond host, while the fracture nucleation is influenced by both the size of the inclusion and the toughness of the diamond. Our findings indicate that, in dry systems, the amount of relaxation of residual stress of the inclusion due to the opening of brittle fractures is much lower than that due to the elastic interaction between the host and the inclusion. Moreover, the pressure release due to fractures is not substantially affected by the shape of the inclusion. We also show that the total relaxation of the residual pressure due to the combined effect of the elastic interaction and the brittle deformation is lower than what is observed in natural samples, even when assuming fracture strength and toughness lower than those reported from experiments on single crystals of diamond. Such discrepancies suggest that in natural olivine-diamond systems additional mechanisms such as viscous or plastic deformation and/or the presence of preexisting defects and fluids in the host might play a relevant role in the relaxation of the residual stress. These findings underscore the need for advanced numerical tools that consider the complex interplay of the geometry of the host-inclusion system, the fracture properties, and the presence of fluids and defects in order to build more accurate models to constrain the geological history of diamonds
Defining "nature", "wilderness", and "identity"
No full text8 p.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 8).Paper written by Allison Nickel in the fall semester 2010 at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls for Dr. Greta Gaard's English 228 class. In this paper, the author examines the various definitions of the ideas of nature, wilderness and identity from the perspectives of preservationists, conservationists and those working with environmental justice. The author concludes that understanding each groups' perspectives helps to address current social and environmental issues

No full text6 p.Paper written by John Magnuson in the fall semester 2008 at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls for Dr. Greta Gaard's English 228 class. In this paper, the author discusses how the generation of energy by hydroelectric dams, nuclear power plants and oil refineries results in changes to the sociological, ecological and economic interactions between humans, animals and the environment
Economy, ecology, and globalization
No full text4 p.Paper written by Jabez Meulemans in the spring semester 2012 at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls for Dr. Greta Gaard's English 228 class.
