Harrison Forman Diary China, January-May 1942
No full textThis diary written by Harrison Forman begins on January 10, 1942, just one month after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in the United States, meanwhile, the Second Sino-Japanese War continues in China. On horseback, Forman rides through the deserted streets of Changsha (capital of Hunan province, southeastern China) and reports civilians returning home as the Japanese retreat to the north. Forman travels to Hongshan where he witnessed the cremated remains of Japanese soldiers. On January 11, 1942, Forman interviews Jsueh Yueh (Xue Yue), the Chinese Nationalist General and Commander-in-Chief responsible for the victories over the Japanese at the Second and Third Battles for Changsha. General Xue Yue explained the tactics which contributed to success. Forman then travels the Hsiang River by boat, then by train to Hengyang (south central Hunan province, 110 miles south of Changsha, seat of the Nationalist Party military government) and Kwielin (now Guilin) in the northeastern Zhuang Autonomous region of Guangxi southern China. Forman describes supply trucks arriving from Linchow (now Lanzhou) delivering goods for soldiers and civilians. According to Forman, merchants had begun to stockpile goods after the fall of I-ch’ang (now Yichang, an area heavily bombed and taken by the Japanese Army in 1940) and in fear of fighting in Rangoon (now Yangon, Myanmar (Burma)). Forman mentions Kunming in southwestern China, where the U.S. Major General Claire L. Chennault, founder of the volunteer air squadron the Flying Tigers, were guarding against the Japanese forces. Chinese Nationalist Government officials are mentioned, such as T.S. Tsiang (Tsiang Tingfu, historian and diplomat), Wang Wen-hao (Weng Wen-ho, geologist, educator, and Minister of Economy, 1938-1947), and Wu Ting-chang (Wu Dingchang, Minister of Economic Affairs, 1935). Other notable figures mentioned are, Feng Yachsiang (Feng Yuxiang, Christian General and Chiang Kai-shek supporter), Quo Tai-chi (Dr. Quo Tai-chi, first Chinese representative to Britain, 1932-1940; named foreign minister by Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, 1941), Kenji Doihara (“Lawrence of Manchuria,” general of Imperial Japanese Army who invaded Manchuria), Emily “Mickey” Hahn (journalist and author), and Charles Boxer (local head of the British Army Intelligence). Forman follows Wendell L. Willkie, U.S. Republican presidential candidate (opposition to Franklin D. Roosevelt), on his trip to China and mentions a list of notable figures, such as Chu Shao-liang (Zhu Shaoliang, general in the National Revolution Army of the Republic of China), Hu Tsung-nan (Hu Zongnan, trusted general of Chiang Kai-shek), Captain Chiang Wei-kuo, Generals Shi Liang-yu, Li Chen-shen, Chang Tso-lin (Zhang Zuolin, warlord of Manchuria, defeated by the Nationalist Kuomintang in 1928), and Hsu Liang-yo. Forman ends his diary at the close of Willkie’s visit, writing about his press colleagues, Francis Lee and Peter Kiang. He tells of the story “Phanton Legions” in the London Daily Express, written by Tommy Chao.The diaries are part of the Harrison Forman Papers 1931-1974 housed at the Special Collections & University Archives, University of Oregon Libraries. UWM Libraries received the dairies on a loan from the Special Collections & University Archives at the University of Oregon Libraries and digitized them to accompany the digital collection of Forman's photographs. The diaries were digitized to provide research materials for the Forman’s negatives scanned as part of the NEH grant project "Saving and Sharing the AGS Library's Historic Nitrate Negative Images.

Harrison White and the Practice of Sociology
No full textWe introduce the topics and foci of the six articles in this special issue devoted to the work of Harrison White, who passed away in May 2024. We asked each author to reveal some aspects of White’s craft, while recounting how their own work has in some respects been entangled with the research problems and vision that he has articulated. Each essay is at once scholarly, innovative, and deeply personal

No full textNucleation of water gas bubbles in trachyphonolitic magmatic melts has been
investigated integrating theory and numerical modelling with decompression
experiments and analysis of natural ash samples of explosive eruptions. Bubble
nucleation, considered the natural response of magmas to decompression, is
strongly dictated by the gas-melt surface tension. Here, I use an integrated
approach to quantify the role of the surface tension in the nucleation process
combining high pressure - high temperature nucleation experiments with a
numerical modelling based on the gradient theory (Cahn and Hilliard, 1959).
This theory, successfully applied in several studies of industrial polymers (Poser
and Sanchez, 1981; Harrison et al., 1999; Kahl and Enders, 2000; Enders et al.,
2005) was never been used before to study systems of volcanological interest.
I show that surface tension is far to be a constant, but it decreases with in-
creasing nucleation pressure (i.e. the confining pressure). Entering the values
of surface tension into the classical theory of nucleation, I obtain a variable
supersaturation pressure triggering nucleation. The decreasing value of the
gas-melt surface tension with increasing pressure, facilitate bubble nucleation at
high pressure, thus enhancing the explosivity of eruptive events from deeper
reservoirs. Instead, the hindered nucleation at relatively low pressure, due to
high bubble surface tension, implies that the generation of explosive eruptions
from shallow reservoirs requires high decompressions. Finally the vesiculation,
in terms of nucleation and growth, of natural samples of ash-rich eruptions
has been studied by applying a novel technique able to take 3D measurements
of bubbles preserved on ash particle’s surface. The Bubble Size Distributions
(BSD), together with the field evidence, suggest that the ash production in these
ash-rich eruptions, rather than to magma-water explosive interaction, is related
to the high decompression necessary to nucleate bubbles in a shallow reservoir

Sunitinib treatment exacerbates intratumoral heterogeneity in metastatic renal cancer
No full textThis work was supported by the Chief Scientist Office, Scotland (ETM37; to G.D. Stewart, A.C.P. Riddick, M. Aitchison, and D.J. Harrison), Cancer Research UK (Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre; to T. Powles, London and D.J. Harrison, Edinburgh), Medical Research Council (to A. Laird and D.J.

Stewart) and an educational grant from Pfizer (to T. Powles).Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of VEGF targeted therapy (sunitinib) on molecular intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) in metastatic clear cell renal cancer (mccRCC). Experimental design: Multiple tumor samples (n=187 samples) were taken from the primary renal tumors of mccRCC patients who were sunitinib treated (n=23, SuMR clinical trial) or untreated (n=23, SCOTRRCC study). ITH of pathological grade, DNA (aCGH), mRNA (Illumina Beadarray) and candidate proteins (reverse phase protein array) were evaluated using unsupervised and supervised analyses (driver mutations, hypoxia and stromal related genes). ITH was analysed using intratumoral protein variance distributions and distribution of individual patient aCGH and gene expression clustering. Results: Tumor grade heterogeneity was greater in treated compared to untreated tumors (P=0.002). In unsupervised analysis, sunitinib therapy was not associated with increased ITH in DNA or mRNA. However, there was an increase in ITH for the driver mutation gene signature (DNA and mRNA) as well as increasing variability of protein expression with treatment (p<0.05). Despite this variability, significant chromosomal and transcript changes to key targets of sunitinib, such as VHL, PBRM1 and CAIX, occurred in the treated samples. Conclusions: These findings suggest that sunitinib treatment has significant effects on the expression and ITH of key tumor and treatment specific genes/proteins in mccRCC. The results, based on primary tumor analysis, do not support the hypothesis that resistant clones are selected and predominate following targeted therapy.Peer reviewe
