William F. Buckley, Winter Commencement Address, 1971
No full textWilliam F. Buckley Jr. was an American conservative author and television commentator, most notably on his own program, Firing Line, where he became known for his transatlantic accent and wide vocabulary. Regarded as one of the most important conservative intellectuals of his time, Buckley here lays out three concepts that he has taken from his association with the youth of 1971. First, Buckley emphasizes the younger generation’s affinity for new technologies, and explains that with every new technological advance, there are concerns as well as benefits. Second, Buckley has learned from the youth that reason will hold as much influence as romanticism in the decisions made by the graduating generation. Third, Buckley has realized that the youth of 1971 are fully able to determine that the idealism of others is just as valuable as their own idealism, though it may differ greatly. At the end of this recording, 5 honorary degrees are given, including one to Buckley, as well as another honorary degree to Motown Records founder Barry Gordy.https://commons.emich.edu/speeches/1047/thumbnail.jp
Gail Buckley: Black America at War: From George Washington to George Bush
No full textGail Buckley is a best-selling author and historian.
Her first book, The Hornes: An American Family, is an inspired history of Buckley’s mother, musical legend Lena Horne, and her family. Buckley traces the Hornes’ roots from the post-Civil War Reconstruction era up to the present day, writing with great insight about a family with ties to every major event in the United States during the past 150 years.
Buckley is a chronicler of “undiscovered American history – the people and events that are left out of the textbooks.” Buckley’s new book, The Black Calhouns (released February 2016), follows her family history from the Civil War to Civil Rights, starting with her great-great grandfather Moses Calhoun, a slave-turned-businessman

William F. Buckley, Jr.: Reflections on Current Contentions
No full textWilliam F. Buckley, Jr. (born Nov. 24, 1925, New York, N.Y., U.S.—died Feb. 27, 2008, Stamford, Conn.), versatile American editor, author, and conservative gadfly who became an important intellectual influence in conservative politics.
Buckley founded the conservative journal National Review in 1955, and as editor in chief he used the journal as a forum for conservative views and ideas. His column of political commentary, “On the Right,” was syndicated in 1962 and appeared regularly in more than 200 newspapers. From 1966 to 1999 Buckley served as host of Firing Line, a weekly television interview program dealing with politics and public affairs.
A contributor to many magazines, Buckley wrote a number of books, among them God and Man at Yale (1951), Up from Liberalism (1959), and Rumbles Left and Right (1963). He coauthored McCarthy and His Enemies (1954), and in the late 1970s he turned his hand to writing spy novels; among them were Saving the Queen (1976), Marco Polo, If You Can (1982), A Very Private Plot (1994), and the final entry in the series, Last Call for Blackford Oakes (2005)

A stochastic Buckley-Leverett model.
No full textEven while numerical simulation methods dominate reservoir modeling, the Buckley-Leverett equation provides important insight into the physical processes behind enhanced oil recovery. The interest in a stochastic Buckley-Leverett equation, the subject of this thesis, arises because uncertainty is at the heart of petroleum engineering. Stochastic differential equations, where one modifies a deterministic equation with a stochastic perturbation or where there are stochastic initial conditions, offers one possible way of accounting for this uncertainty. The benefit of examining a stochastic differential equation is that mathematically rigorous results can be obtained concerning the behavior of the solution.
However, the Buckley-Leverett equation belongs to a class of partial differential equations called first order conservation equations. These equations are notoriously difficult to solve because they are non-linear and the solutions frequently involve discontinuities. The fact that the equation is being considered
within a stochastic setting adds a further level of complexity. A problem that is already particularly difficult to solve is made even more difficult by introducing a non-deterministic term.
The results of this thesis were obtained by making the fractional flow curve the focus of attention, rather than the relative permeability curves. Reservoir conditions enter the Buckley-Leverett model through the fractional flow function. In order to derive closed form solutions, an analytical expression for fractional flow is required. In this thesis, emphasis in placed on modeling fractional flow in such a way that most experimental curves can readily be approximated in a straightforward manner, while keeping the problem tractable. Taking this approach, a range of distributional results are obtained concerning the shock front saturation and position over time, breakthrough time, and even recovery efficiency.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Mathematical Sciences, 201
