Ka-band microwave generation using the Smith-Purcell effect
No full textThe CERETRON microwave generator concept relies on the conversion of intense relativistic electron beam (REB) energy into highpower microwave emission through the Smith-Purcell effect. We report initial results from experiments with the production of Ka-band Smith-Purcell radiation generated by a 50-kA, 2.8-MeV beam propagated through a cylindrical transmission grating with lambda/sub 0/ = 1 cm. These experiments were performed without a quasi-optical resonator, and the output was limited by breakdown of the grating and by limited access through the 90-kG magnet coil. Nevertheless, the measured power output from these initial experiments was about 7 kW in the Ka band

Letter from Smith Green to grandma and grandpa
No full textLetter from Smith Green to his grandparents, William and Mary Green (March 2, 1937).Fort Sam Houston March 2, 1937 Dear Grandma and Grandpa: I hope no one is sick or anything, because I haven't received a letter from you in over a month. I hope you got the 10 from now on, just as before. I got some Valentines from Florence, Beatrice, Aubrey and Uncle George on Valentine's Day but they didn't write a word. I wrote them last, several months ago, but haven't gotten a letter from yet. I wrote the last letter to John about a year ago and he hasn't answered either. Now that you have stopped writing, I don't know anything at all about the events and news of Broken Bow. I seem to be the Forgotten Man or Something. Virginia never fails to write though. She certainly is a fine girl. She sent me another large picture the other day. It was tinted very nicely and showed her blonde hair, blueish eyes and rosy cheeks to perfection. Of course I had to return the favor so I went to the studio and posed for one. Two proofs were made, one was better than the other. So naturally I had the enlargement made from it. They let me keep the other proof so I'm sending it to you. Maybe next month I'll send you a large one too. I'm getting along fine. I'm instructing in the company Radio Class yet. We're supposed to get our new Tanks by the 15th of April. If we do we'll get lots of new ratings. Well, tell everybody hello for me. And be sure to write once in a while, will you? Love, Smith S.L.

Religious pathways to coping with personal death anxiety among older adult British Christians and Chinese Buddhists: afterlife beliefs, psychosocial maturity and regret management
No full textReligion was proposed to account for the relatively low personal death anxiety found among older adults. This dissertation sought to examine the influence of religious afterlife beliefs, religiously enhanced psychosocial maturity and religious management of a past major regret on personal death anxiety in later life. Terror Management Theory and Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory were used to describe these three religious pathways to coping with personal death anxiety in later life. The cross-sectional postal survey samples consisted of 143 older adult British Christians and 141 older adult Chinese Buddhists. Structural Equation Modelling results from the British Christian survey study showed that intrinsic religiosity predicted lower personal death anxiety through: (a) fostering more benign afterlife beliefs; (b) enhancing psychosocial maturity; and (c) promoting emotional stability. No significant relationship between belief in reincarnation and personal death anxiety was found in the Chinese Buddhist survey study. Both survey studies failed to support the personal death anxiety buffering power of religious management of a past major life regret, although some religious coping strategies were associated with lower negative emotional appraisal towards the major life regret among older adults. The British survey study has been the first to demonstrate both the personal death anxiety buffering and psychosocial maturity enhancing power of religion in an increasingly secular society. The lack of relationship between Buddhist reincarnation beliefs and personal death anxiety suggests that not all religious afterlife beliefs have death anxiety buffering power as proposed by Terror Management Theory. The development of Buddhist reincarnation belief and Buddhist coping scales is a pioneering step towards developing research on under-explored Eastern non-theistic afterlife beliefs and coping measures. Implications for ways that help religious older adults cope with their personal death anxiety were discussed. Prospective cross cultural and cross-religion studies were recommended to replicate the present survey findings. Finally, self detachment (self negation) was proposed as the basis of an alternative death transcendence theory to be researched in future studies on personal death anxiety
