Abstract Nearly 40 different Asian elm (Ulmus spp.) biotypes, growing at The Morton Arboretum, Lisle, IL, were evaluated in laboratory bioassays and in the field for suitability and feeding preference of the spring cankerworm Paleacrita vernata (Peck) and the fall cankerworm, Alsophila pometaria (Harris). No-choice and multiple-choice laboratory feeding studies, and field defoliation surveys revealed that U. castaneifolia, U. changii, U. chenmoui, U. davidiana, U. elongata, U. gaussenii, U. glaucescens var. lasiophylla, U. japonica, U. lamellosa, U. lanceaefolia, U. macrocarpa, U. parvifolia, U. propinqua, U. propinqua var. suberosa, U. prunifolia, U. pseudopropinqua, U. taihangshanensis, U. wallichiana, U. wilsoniana, U. wilsoniana-98, and the simple and complex hybrids U. davidiana x U. japonica, U. davidiana x U. propinqua, U. japonica x U. ‘Morton’-Accolade™, U. ‘Morton’-Accolade™ x U. japonicapumila, U. ‘Morton Glossy’-Triumph™, and U. ‘Morton Plainsman’-Vanguard™ x U. davidiana, were less suitable for larval development and pupation and less preferred by spring and fall cankerworm larvae. Ulmus americana, U. glaucescens, U. szechuanica, and the simple and complex hybrids U. davidiana x U. ‘Morton’-Accolade™, U. szechuanica x U. japonica, U. ‘Morton’-Accolade™, U. ‘Morton Red Tip’-Danada Charm™ and U. ‘Morton Plainsman’-Vanguard™ were more suitable for and more preferred by spring and fall cankerworm larvae. Rankings for larval development time were highly correlated with larval longevity, but the proportion of larvae pupating was correlated neither with larval longevity nor with larval development time. Pupal fresh weights also were correlated neither with larval longevity nor with larval development time. Mean fecal pellet weights were correlated with the proportion of larvae pupating, but were not correlated with pupal fresh weights. Ulmus chenmoui, U. glaucescens var. lasiophylla, U. lamellosa, U. macrocarpa, U. propinqua, U. prunifolia, and U. pseudopropinqua all showed medium to heavy leaf pubescence and were less suitable and less preferred by spring and fall cankerworms. Asian elms were least preferred by cankerworm larvae, followed in order of increasing preference by European and North American elms.

The aim is an assessment of the actual evapotranspiration of plants by using climate data in Nakhon Ratchasima with the R in the hydrological modeling function of Abtew and Morton CRAE formulation. There are using meteorological data from 2012 - 2016 at Nakhon Ratchasima station. The case analysis shows the results of evapotranspiration are the potential of evaporation of plants each year. Abtew analysis gave higher monthly evapotranspiration results during the dry season than Morton CRAE, but with Abtew formulation gave lower monthly evapotranspiration results during the rainy season than that of the method. The results are 2 ways to use evapotranspiration for water management, which is to analyze the amount of evapotranspiration for use in irrigation systems in order to water for plants should use the form of Abtew form because it can be seen that during the dry season and the plant has a high evapotranspiration value. Form Morton CRAE should be used to assess the potential water use of plants that can be seen in the dry season, the evaporation of plants is also less because in the surrounding environment there isn’t water and has little moisture causing plants to use less water.

Full textAbstract:
Vehicle ad hoc networks (VANETs) are special wireless networks which help vehicles to obtain continuous and stable communication. Pseudonym revocation, as a vital security mechanism, is able to protect legal vehicles in VANETs. However, existing pseudonym-revocation schemes suffer from the issues of low certificate revocation list (CRL) generation and update efficiency, along with high CRL storage and transmission costs. In order to solve the above issues, this paper proposes an improved Morton-filter-based pseudonym-revocation scheme for VANETs (IMF-PR). IMF-PR establishes a new distributed CRL management mechanism to maintain a low CRL distribution transmission delay. In addition, IMF-PR improves the Morton filter to optimize the CRL management mechanism so as to improve CRL generation and update efficiency and reduce the CRL storage overhead. Moreover, CRLs in IMF-PR store illegal vehicle information based on an improved Morton filter data structure to improve the compress ratio and the query efficiency. Performance analysis and simulation experiments showed that IMF-PR can effectively reduce storage by increasing the compression gain and reducing transmission delay. In addition, IMF-PR can also greatly improve the lookup and update throughput on CRLs.

AbstractThis paper demonstrates the application of a new higher-order weak approximation, called the Kusuoka approximation, with discrete random variables to non-commutative multi-factor models. Our experiments show that using the Heath–Jarrow–Morton model to price interest-rate derivatives can be practically feasible if the Kusuoka approximation is used along with the tree-based branching algorithm.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Over the last twenty years, various objective author-attribution techniques have been applied to the English Book of Mormon in order to shed light on the question of multiple authorship of Book of Mormon texts. Two methods, one based on rates of use of noncontextual words and one based on word-pattern ratios, measure patterns consistent with multiple authorship in the Book of Mormon. Another method, based on vocabulary-richness measures, suggests that only one author is involved. These apparently contradictory results are reconciled by showing that for texts of known authorship, the method based on vocabulary-richness measures is not as powerful in discerning differences among authors as are the other methods, especially for works translated into English by a single translator.

Full textAbstract:
Au cours des vingt dernières années, les principaux concepts du traitement du signal ont trouvé leur homologue pour le cas de la géométrie numérique, et en particulier des modèles polygonaux de surfaces 3D. Ces traitements requièrent néanmoins un temps de calcul non négligeable lorsqu’on les applique sur des modèles de taille conséquente. Cette charge de calcul devient un frein important dans le contexte actuel, où les quantités massives de données 3D générées à chaque seconde peuvent potentiellement nécessiter l’application d’un sous-ensemble de ces opérateurs. La capacité à exécuter des opérateurs de traitement géométrique en un temps très court représente alors un verrou important pour les systèmes de conception, capture et restitution 3D dynamiques. Dans ce contexte, on cherche à accélérer de plusieurs ordres de grandeur certains algorithmes de traitement géométrique actuels, et à reformuler ou approcher ces algorithmes afin de diminuer leur complexité ou de les adapter à un environnement parallèle. Dans cette thèse, nous nous appuyons sur un objet compact et efficace permettant d’analyser les surfaces 3D à plusieurs échelles : les quadriques d’erreurs. En particulier, nous proposons de nouveaux algorithmes haute performance, maintenant à la surface des quadriques d’erreur représentatives de la géométrie. Un des principaux défis tient ici à la génération des structures adaptées en parallèle, afin d’exploiter les processeurs parallèles à grain fin que sont les GPU, la principale source de puissance disponible dans un ordinateur moderneOver the last twenty years, the main signal processing concepts have been adapted for digital geometry, in particular for 3D polygonal meshes. However, the processing time required for large models is significant. This computational load becomes an obstacle in the current context, where the massive amounts of data that are generated every second may need to be processed with several operators. The ability to run geometry processing operators with strong time constraints is a critical challenge in dynamic 3D systems. In this context, we seek to speed up some of the current algorithms by several orders of magnitude, and to reformulate or approximate them in order to reduce their complexity or make them parallel. In this thesis, we are building on a compact and effective object to analyze 3D surfaces at different scales : error quadrics. In particular, we propose new high performance algorithms that maintain error quadrics on the surface to represent the geometry. One of the main challenges lies in the effective generation of the right structures for parallel processing, in order to take advantage of the GPU

Este trabalho descreve o desenvolvimento de um sistema de controle com compensação de tempo morto aplicado a um ventilador para simular os efeitos do vento em modelos de embarcações. O sistema é instalado no tanque de provas do Departamento de Engenharia Naval da Escola Politécnica da USP. Um sistema de controle baseado em computador é elaborado para a realização dos testes e validação, procedendo-se inicialmente a identificação do sistema a ser controlado. Na malha de controle, o sinal de referência é a velocidade do vento desejada em uma distância pré-definida do ventilador e pode ser tanto um valor constante (representando um vento constante) ou um valor variante no tempo (representando uma rajada de vento). O sistema atuador consiste de um inversor de frequência que aciona o ventilador e a velocidade do vento é medida por um anemômetro, cujo sinal é usado como realimentação para o controlador. A sintonia da malha é realizada pelo método do modelo interno (IMC) e o efeito do tempo morto é observado nos testes, aplicando-se o compensador baseado no Preditor de Smith para minimizá-lo. Pelos resultados dos ensaios, conclui-se que o Preditor de Smith melhora o desempenho do sistema de geração de vento.This paper describes the development of a control system with dead time compensation applied to a fan to simulate wind effects in models of vessels. The system is installed on the academic towing tank of the Naval Architecture and Oceanic Engineering Department of the University of São Paulo. A control system based on computer is designed for testing and validation, proceeding initially to identify the system to be controlled. In the control loop, the set-point is the desired speed of the wind on a pre-defined distance from the fan and it can be either a constant value (representing a constant wind) or a time-varying value (representing a wind gust). The actuator system consists of a frequency-inverter that drives the fan and the wind speed is measured by an anemometer, whose signal is used as feedback to the controller. The tuning of the controller is made by the internal model control (IMC) and the effect of dead time is observed in the tests, applying the compensator based on Smith Predictor to minimize it. Through the results from the tests, it was concluded that the Smith Predictor improves the performance of the wind generation system.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of religious conservatism is related to the faith of the Anabaptists in early
16Ih century Switzerland, Germany and Holland as developed by the Swiss Brethren,
maintained and developed by the Mennonites and Amish in Europe and thence into
the USA, especially in Pennsylvania.
Tenets of the faith are revealed in these peoples' actualised theology as they have long
unyoked themselves from the outside world and formed a free church. The continuity
of the faith is traced through a number of Confessions of Faith since 1527.
The purity of the redemptive community is ensured by the order or 'ordnung' and its
demands are known to those undergoing adult baptism. Different interpretations of the
ordnung and the strictness of the ban on sinners have resulted in schisms since Menno
Simons and Jacob Ammann. The faith has remained firm in spite of schisms also
resulting from reactions to technological changes and pressures from the outside
world.
Conservative attitudes are revealed in these groups' old-fashioned distinctive simple
clothing, hair, beards, head covering and transport. Pacifism and 'gelassenheit', the
yielding to God's Will and that of the congregation, add to this distinctiveness and
conservatism.
The great number of schisms among the Mennonites reveal differences in imposing
the 'ban', shunning (or meidung) or excommunication and the degrees of rejection of
contemporary material changes (e.g. automobiles, telephones, mains electricity). The
most conservative are the 'Old Orders'.
The selection of ministers (by the 'lot') and their roles are examined and continuity is
emphasised by the practice of feet washing (insisted by Arnrnann) and singing hymns
from a mid- 16th century hymnal, the Ausbund.
Numerous references from the New Testament are quoted in justification of their
religious beliefs within an actualised theology and the relationship between
congregations and baptised believers is also addressed in some detail.
Their possible future as religious groups may be conjectural in a world so inimical to
so many of their beliefs. They remain a powerful witness to His word in spite of their
small numbers. Observations of and conversations with many of these people over the
past thirty years confirm their personal characteristics outlined in the thesis.
Through their religious beliefs, their actualised theology and steadfastness in living
their beliefs, they can contribute an understanding of the contemporary world by
offering their religious conservatism as exemplifying their belief in witnessing a
comer of God's Kingdom. The underlying paradoxes in their lives must, however, be
fully appreciated.
The thesis is that the nature of their long-held beliefs, discipline and gelassenheit
brings fulfilment and a witness to the outside world. Their steadfastness makes
acceptable the many paradoxes in their lives, reflecting a need to react constantly to
outside pressures without undermining the faith.Thesis (Ph.D.)--Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 2002.

Full textAbstract:
When Mormons arrived in northern Arizona among the Navajo and Hopi Indians in the late 1850s, Mormon-Indian relations were initially friendly. It was not too long, however, before trouble began in conflicts over water use and land rights. Federal agents would soon consider Mormons a threat to the peaceful Hopis because both the Navajo and Mormons were expanding their land claims. Indian agents relentlessly pleaded with Washington to establish a separate Indian reservation. They anticipated this reservation would satisfy all three parties, but its creation in 1882 only created more problems, climaxing in the 1892 death of Lot Smith at the hands of Atsidí, the local Navajo headman. Tensions continued to increase until federal agents intervened in 1900 and placed Tuba City under a Presidential Executive Order. The order withdrew Tuba City from white claims and resulted in the expulsion of the Mormons from Tuba City in 1903. My contribution is to show how the Navajo and Hopi Indians may have considered the coming of the Mormons as an invasion by a group of foreigners which led to the resulting contest between the trios for the limited natural resources of the northern Arizona desert. Tuba City/Moenkopi has a complicated history and its origins remain contested because it was claimed not only by Mormons, but also by the Navajos and Hopi. Previous historians have neglected the wealth of history that come from using Native American oral histories. This thesis will include the Native point of view but will also integrate it with Mormon and non-Mormon narratives. Doing so will provide another perspective on some of the following: the founding of Tuba City, the creation of the 1882 and 1900 Executive Orders for Navajo and Hopi reservation expansions, the death of the Mormon Lot Smith, and Native American-Mormon relations in the late 1800s in northern Arizona.

Lilburn W. Boggs and the Case for Jacksonian Democracy Robert John Walker Department of Religion, BYU Masters of Religious Education Lilburn W. Boggs was lieutenant governor of Missouri from 1832 to 1836. He was governor of Missouri from 1836 to 1840. Political upheaval was the order of the day as Jacksonian democrats overthrew, through the power of the ballot box, the establishment of the patrician leadership in the United States. Issues of equity, slavery, religion, settlement of the West, and divisive sectionalism threatened the Union of the states. President Andrew Jackson was the representation of the common man and the enemy of the monied oligarchy that assumed the right to rule the common people. Jackson's leadership enabled a powerful change in party politics as he became the charismatic figurehead of the Jacksonian Democratic Party. Boggs was a protégé of Thomas Hart Bennett, the powerful ally of Jackson and leading senator from Missouri. Boggs, beginning as a young man, rode the coattails of Benton right into the governor's mansion in Columbia, Missouri. This thesis examines Boggs' life and political career to ascertain whether or not he was truly a Jackson man as he represented himself to be to the electorate.

Full textAbstract:
Le mythe de la Toison d'or est le récit d'une aventure maritime jusqu'au bout du monde pour y rapporter un emblème de royauté. Chassé par un oncle usurpateur, Jason triomphe des épreuves qui lui sont imposées grâce à l'amour de la magicienne Médée. Tamis des orpailleurs, trésor caché, parchemin sacré, constellation ou Saint-Graal, le bélier volant qui sauva Hellé et Phryxos de la noyade a été l’objet de nombreuses interprétations.En 1430, le duc de Bourgogne, Philippe le Bon, fonde l'ordre de la Toison d'or pour fédérer les princes de la chrétienté. À l'issue de la cérémonie d'intronisation, un collier est remis au nouveau chevalier. Pourtant, l'évêque de Chalon se récrie face au choix de ce héros parjure, et l'on décide de lui adjoindre Gédéon, dont les brebis s'étaient couvertes de rosée mariale, en signe de la victoire prochaine sur les mécréants.Par le jeu des alliances matrimoniales, le titre de Souverain de l'ordre échoit à Charles Quint qui ajoute à ses armoiries le « Plus Oultre ». Lors de la bataille de Lépante, en 1571, la Galera Real Argo proclame, à coups de décorations, fresques, statues et devises, le projet de la monarchie catholique de terrasser le dragon qui s'est emparé des territoires chrétiens, assimilés au mouton doré du mythe.Quand la saga des Argonautes arrive sur les planches du théâtre auriséculaire, elle jouit d'un immense avantage. Le héros est connu dans son aspect le plus lumineux et le traitement bourguignon alimente la résistance face aux hérétiques de toutes sortes.Si le mythe se prête aux innovations les plus spectaculaires et relaie les valeurs de la monarchie, il entretient une singulière relation avec la politique menée par ses princes, tandis que les guerres laissent attendre l'âge d'or tant espéré, que la dette se creuse, que la cour mène un train de vie dispendieux et que la corruption gagne progressivement toute la société.Avec l'Art Nouveau de faire des comédies, Lope de Vega ouvre une brèche qui permet de voir derrière les ors et les fastes de la cour la lente désagrégation de la monarchieThe story of Jason is a most ancient myth and survives in various forms. A more widespread interpretation relates the myth of the fleece to a method of washing gold from streams. More often, the Golden Fleece represents royal power, the spring-hero or a book on alchemy. According to Apollonius of Rhodes, a flying golden ram rescued Phrixus and Helle as their stepmother wantedto kill them. Phrixus safely reached Colchis where he sacrificed the ram and gave its skin to Aetes. Meanwhile, Pelias had usurped the throne of Eson and as his son reclaimed it, sent him to fetch the Golden Fleece. Jason assembled a remarkable group of heroes on board the Argo. At Colchis, the witch Medea helped Jason to complete the mortal tasks. Upon returning, she plotted the death of Jason's uncle, so both took refuge with their children in Corinth. There, the hero betrayed her as he fell in love with Creusa. The witch got rid of this rival, burnt the palace and slaughtered their chidren.In 1430, the Duke of Burgundy founded the Order of the Golden Fleece. As a shield, a sheepskin was suspended from a jeweled collar of firesteel linked by flints. But the choice of Jason caused controversy, so Bishop of Chalon linked it to the fleece of Gideon. As part of the Burgundian inheritance, the Order was a welcomed instrument to the ambitious Habsburgs to strengthen the bonds and Charles V added as a motto « Plus Oultre ».Performances of the Spanish Golden Age Theater were used to develop the ideology of the Catholic Monarchy. When Lope de Vega published el “Arte nuevo”, he introduced the tradition of the « Mirror for Prince » giving opportunity to express one's point of view, despite the censure

L’esercito italiano e la conquista della Catalogna (1808-1811)
Uno studio di Military Effectiveness nell’Europa napoleonica
Settori scientifico-disciplinari SPS/03 – M-STO/02
La ricerca ha lo scopo di ricostruire e valutare l’effettività militare dell’esercito italiano al servizio di Napoleone I. In primo luogo attraverso un’analisi statistica e strategica della costruzione, e del successivo impiego, dell’istituzione militare del Regno d’Italia durante gli anni della sua esistenza (1805-14); successivamente, è stato scelto un caso di studi particolarmente significativo, come la campagna di Catalogna (1808-11, nel contesto della guerra di Indipendenza spagnola), per poter valutare il contributo operazionale e tattico dei corpi inviati dal governo di Milano e la loro integrazione con l’apparato militare complessivo del Primo Impero.
La tesi ha voluto rispondere alla mancanza di studi sul comportamento in guerra dell’esercito italiano e, allo stesso tempo, introdurre nella storiografia militare italiana la metodologia di studi, d’origine anglosassone e ormai di tradizione trentennale, di Military Effectiveness.
La ricerca si è primariamente basata, oltre che sulla copiosa memorialistica a stampa italiana e francese, sulla documentazione d’archivio della Secrétairerie d’état impériale (Archives Nationales di Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, Parigi), del Ministère de la Guerre francese (Service historique de la Défence, di Vincennes, Parigi) e del Ministero della Guerra del Regno d’Italia (Archivio di Stato di Milano).
Dal punto di vista dei risultati è stato possibile verificare come l’esercito italiano abbia rappresentato, per Bonaparte, uno strumento duttile e di facile impiego, pur in un contesto di sostanziale marginalità numerica complessiva di fronte alle altre (e cospicue) forze messe in campo da parte dell’Impero e dei suoi altri Stati satellite e alleati. Per quanto riguarda la campagna di conquista della Catalogna è stato invece possibile appurare il fondamentale contributo dato dal contingente italiano, sotto i punti di vista operazionale e tattico, per la buona riuscita dell’invasione; questo primariamente grazie alle elevate caratteristiche generali mostrate dallo stesso, ma anche per peculiarità disciplinari e organizzative che resero i corpi italiani adatti a operazioni particolarmente aggressive.The Italian Army and the Conquest of Catalonia (1808-1811) A Study of Military Effectiveness in Napoleonic Europe Academic Fields and Disciplines SPS/03 – M-STO/02 The research has the purpose of reconstruct and evaluate the military effectiveness of the Italian Army existed under the reign of Napoleon I. Firstly through a statistic and strategic analysis of the development, and the following deployment, of the military institution of the Kingdom of Italy in the years of its existence (1805-14). Afterwards, a particularly significant case study was chosen, as the campaign of Catalonia (1808-11, in the context of the Peninsular War), in order to assess the operational and tactical contribution of the regiments sent by the Government of Milan and their integration in the overall military apparatus of the First Empire. The thesis wanted to respond to the lack of studies on the Italian army’s behavior in war and, at the same time, to introduce the methodology of the Military Effectiveness Studies (of British and American origin and, by now, enriched by a thirty-year old tradition) in the Italian historiography. The research is primarily based, besides the numerous memoirs of the Italian and French veterans, on the archive documentation of the Secrétairerie d’état impériale (Archives Nationales of Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, Paris), of the French Ministère de la Guerre (Service historique de la Défence, of Vincennes, Paris) and of the Italian Ministero della Guerra (Archivio di Stato di Milano). About the results, it has been verified how the Italian army has become a flexible and suitable instrument for Bonaparte, albeit in a context of substantial overall numerical marginality in comparison to the heterogeneous forces available to the Empire and its others satellites and allied states. Regarding the campaign of Catalonia, instead, it was possible to ascertain the fundamental contribution of the Italian regiments, in an operational and tactical perspective, for the success of the invasion. This was primarily due to the excellent general characteristics shown by the expeditionary force, but also to disciplinary and organizational peculiarities that have made the Italian corps suitable for particularly aggressive operations.

This essay explores Mormonism’s paradoxical relationship with American free market capitalism. Examining a series of case studies from Mormonism’s past, as well as several important Mormon economic thinkers, I argue that there is no single “Mormon” position on economics. Rather, there are a variety of positions, from libertarian individualism to market-suspicious communitarianism, that various Mormons at various times have marshaled theological and historical resources to support. This complex constellation of ideas not only debunks the myth of Mormonism as a monolith but also sheds light on a wide range of contemporary Mormon economic behavior, from the state of Utah’s proliferation of con artists and multilevel marketing schemes to the church’s large welfare system.

Like most Christian churches, dating to the New Testament, Mormons have practiced church discipline for certain conduct. Mormons impose disfellowshipment or excommunication for gravely immoral conduct and for publicly opposing the church or its teachings. Mormons also have a two-tiered order of worship (with Puritan parallels). All are welcome to participate in Sunday worship (though excommunicants cannot take the sacrament); but only those prepared and willing to commit to the full range of Mormon covenant obligations worship in the temple. The temple recommend defines this willingness to commit to such principles and practices as chastity, tithing, the Word of Wisdom (the Mormon health code), and affirming a personal testimony of Jesus Christ. The temple ceremony for which this interview grants access culminates in a visual image of the atonement of Christ, placing it at the center of the New and Everlasting Covenant.

This chapter shows how LDS officials and businessmen continuously found ways to bend railroads to their benefits or reshape Mormons institutions in order to flourish in their networks, such as the irrigation display at the Chicago World’s Fair. Regardless of the failure of the Bear River Irrigation company, it was proof of Mormon fortitude through cultural and locative righteousness. The company’s resources were reorganized by Mormon businessmen, and Mormons effectively promoted the LDS Church in other venues at World’s Fair. On the other hand, railroad barons’ contracts provided uninterrupted freighting, lucrative receipts of transcontinental tourism, and friendships with Mormon businessmen who intervened on their behalf in Congress. The results of their efforts were the combined naturalizing and mainlining of Mormonism, as tourists were convinced that they could learn from the Mormons to cultivate western lands and define religion in the modern west.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter traces the roots of a musical theater aesthetic in Mormonism by arguing that vocal theatricality is a theological principle in the faith, to the degree that Mormonism is built upon a theology of voice. Two stories of vocal theatricality in early Mormon lore--namely, when Brigham Young mimics the voice of slain Mormon prophet Joseph Smith and when Book of Mormon prophet Nephi impersonates his slain ecclesiastical leader in order to obtain a set of sacred records--exemplify the Mormon ideal of a disciplined voice capable of speaking literally the voice of another person. This practice of vocal modeling is understood by Mormons to be a divine trait, one practiced by Jesus and other spiritual leaders in Mormon mythology, including modern-day Mormon prophets; learning how to do this well in effect prepares the faithful Mormon to someday be god-like himself. This chapter argues that it is a short leap from vocal theatricality in everyday contexts to vocal theatricality on the musical stage and suggests that Mormons turned to musical theater so readily in the twentieth century in part because it offered a secular platform to practice vocal theatrics.

This chapter traces the racial implications of the Mormons’ forced removal in 1833 from Jackson County, Missouri, where the Mormons had hoped to build New Jerusalem. Non-Mormons in the county forced the Mormons out following accusations that the Mormons were “meddling” with black slaves and Indians in order to convert them and to foment racial violence. In exile, the Mormons’ practice of (relative) racial inclusion became more circumscribed, though one famous black convert, Elijah Abel, joined the church. Promising not to upset the nation’s racial hierarchy, early Mormon leaders focused on making white converts in America and in the first international missions to the British Isles. White Mormons also began to reexamine their own racial/genealogical identities. Through the ritual of the patriarchal blessing, Mormons discovered that most of them were not actually “gentiles,” but Israelites and natural born heirs to the sacred covenant that God made with Abraham.

This chapter examines the place of martyrology and ritualized cursing in Mormon apocalypticism. With the assassinations of Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith in 1844, the Saints came to believe that the United States had sealed its doom. John the Revelator’s image of martyrs pleading for God to avenge their murders became a prominent element in Mormon apocalypticism. The Mormons fled Nauvoo and eventually the nation itself in order to distance themselves from their persecutors, but also to escape the very land that had been primed for judgment. Before departing, through verbal, written, and other ritualized means, the Saints cursed those complicit in their persecution.

Abstract John D. Lee tries to work his way back into Brigham Young’s good graces. An anti-Mormon party develops in Utah, called “the clique” by Latter-day Saints. A power struggle develops between the anti-Mormons and the Mormons over political and economic control of Utah Territory. Young feels federal appointees in Utah deliberately ignore prosecuting those responsible for the Mountain Meadows Massacre in order to foist the crime on him. Young denounces the massacre in a Tabernacle speech. Erastus Snow begins to investigate the massacre and write to Young about participants. Young denies participants the church’s highest blessings. George A. Hicks becomes Lee’s nemesis. Young asks Lee to sell out and move away.

The negotiations that took place in order to create the 1947 This Is The Place monument and secure the land on which it stands demonstrate church and state authorities’ attempts to construct place and memory in Utah. While portions of the monument confirm the narrative of the Latter-day Saints as part of God’s chosen people, other portions affirm Mormons as leaders in the civic life of Utah and the larger United States. The monument itself represents the tension and ultimate compromise between these two often competing narratives at a pivotal moment in Mormon history.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines Smith’s creation of the Mormon law (D&C 20 and 42) and formation of a hierarchical priesthood structure to govern the kingdom of God, which he based on a charismatic reception of the law through revelation, a restoration of his church through angelic visits and theophany, and his expectation that church members have their own revelations and see God for themselves (D&C 88:1). The chapter examines the emergence of several new rituals in the Kirtland period before turning attention to Smith’s 1836 priesthood restoration narrative about Elijah, the Old Testament prophet, who reportedly visited Smith on April 3, 1836. The idea of Elijah returning to usher in the Second Coming was commonly preached by antebellum Protestants who accentuated the millennialism in the fourth chapter of Malachi. The chapter traces Smith’s interest in the Old Testament, which led to his study of Hebrew and his discovery of the Passover tradition of leaving a cup of wine for Elijah in anticipation of his return. The chapter views Elijah’s restoration of priesthood as the pinnacle of the development of the Mormon priesthood that would endow the Mormons with power from on high. The chapter traces Smith’s attempts to reconcile the tension between following the law (even his own revelatory commandments), empowering a hierarchy of priests, and being assured salvation through physical rites. It charts the beginning of new Mormon ritual efforts to recreate its members as prophets/prophetesses, priests/priestesses, and kings/queens, all while maintaining Smith’s central role. The rituals endowed the Mormon membership with authority and connected them to the ancient order of Melchizedek and prepared for Christ’s Second Coming. Participation in solemn assemblies, anointings, and the School of the Prophets assured Mormons of their salvation and role in the kingdom within a hierarchical ecclesiology that upheld Smith’s authority. His new liturgies, particularly those featured in the new “House of the Lord” (later termed “temple”) in Kirtland, offered members kingly and prophetic authority without threatening the hierarchical structure of the priesthood.

Abstract In the manufacturing process of single-shaft multistage centrifugal compressors for process gases, factory tests are conducted to confirm that the lateral vibration satisfies the allowable limits. One of the problems that must be taken care of during the test is the increase in vibration due to the Morton Effect. The Morton Effect is a thermal bending vibration caused by the non-uniformity of the oil film temperature of the bearing, and many troubles have been reported in overhung rotors. However, there are few reports of the Morton Effect in single-shaft multistage compressors. This is thought to be because even if the Morton Effect did occur, it was often only a minor problem. Although it is a minor problem, it is necessary to predict and evaluate the Morton Effect in order to prevent a prolonged test process and costly countermeasures. In this study, a calculation method for the Morton Effect has been developed for a single-shaft multistage centrifugal compressor, and an evaluation index for the Morton Effect is proposed. The developed method is verified and the validity of the proposed evaluation index of the Morton Effect is checked using cases of increased vibration that occurred in factory tests.

This paper reviews the significance of applying second-order irregular waves for assessing hydrodynamic loads on a jack-up platform. The study is based on a realistic jack-up model. The wave load is determined utilizing Morison equation. The study focuses on extreme wave elevations when the drag load component dominates and the magnitude of wave particle horizontal velocity is crucial. Both extreme surface elevation and wave particle kinematics are observed. For wave particle kinematic, two different stretching methods are compared. The static response of a pile structure using the second-order model and the 5th Stokes wave are compared. In the end, a dynamic analysis of the jack-up utilizing a second-order irregular wave model is performed.

Full textAbstract:
Rendering large point clouds ordinarily requires building a hierarchical data structure for accessing the points that best represent the object for a given viewing frustum and level-of-detail. The building of such data structures frequently represents a large portion of the cost of the rendering pipeline both in terms of time and space complexity, especially when rendering is done for inspection purposes only. In this work we present OMiCroN -- Oblique Multipass Hierarchy Creation while Navigating -- which is the first algorithm capable of immediately displaying partial renders of the geometry, provided the cloud is made available sorted in Morton order. In fact, a pipeline coupling OMiCroN with an incremental sorting algorithm running in parallel can start rendering as soon as the first sorted prefix is produced, making this setup very convenient for streamed viewing.

Full textAbstract:
Fluorescent lamp wastes are one of the discarded electrical devices. These lamp wastes pose serious health concerns, and require extreme care in its disposal to avoid any adverse impacts. Also, with the widespread use of energy efficient LED lamps for lighting purposes, environmental concerns related to disposal of used mercury containing fluorescent lamps have become progressively important. This paper explores the possibility of replacement of fine aggregates in mortar with different proportions of fluorescent lamp wastes in order to find the optimum percentage of replacement to get better properties. Fluorescent lamp wastes were collected and crushed to the grading of fine aggregates. Compressive strength and bulk density of mortar cubes with 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% replacement of fine aggregates with fluorescent lamp wastes were evaluated after 7 days of initial curing. The compressive strength and bulk density of mortar was found to be decreasing with increasing percentage of lamp waste added. The replacement of fine aggregate by 25% lamp waste has greater strength compared to other proportions. Bulk density was found to be lesser at higher replacement levels and can be tried in producing light weight mortar. The utilization of lamp waste in mortar/concrete is a noble attempt in reducing the negative impact of lamp wastes on the environment

Full textAbstract:
As natural resources are rapidly depleting and the demand of cement based products in construction industry is continuously increasing, there is a pressing need for finding alternatives without large penalties in terms of mechanical properties. Another issue to be resolved is related to current design guidelines developed for traditional cement based materials (e.g. mortar and concrete). Zeolites, either natural or synthetic, are crystalline alumina silicates with pozzolanic activity in cement based materials that lead to obtaining mortars and concrete with improved elastic, mechanical and durability properties. They represent a viable alternative to river or quarry aggregates. The paper focuses on assessing the early age mechanical properties of cement based mortar with natural zeolites aggregates that were used to replace river sand in different percentages: 10, 20 and 30 percent by mass. A mortar mix, without zeolite aggregates, was also considered and served as reference. Standard 40?40?160 mm mortar prisms were cast and then cured in water for 14 days. The samples were measured and weighed in order to determine the density of the mortar mixes. The damping material properties were determined based on ASTM C215 code. Flexural and compressive strength were determined in accordance to SR EN 196-1 specifications.

Full textAbstract:
The environmental fate and transport of energetic compounds on military training ranges are largely controlled by the particle characteristics of low-order detonations. This study demonstrated a method of command detonation, field sampling, laboratory processing, and analysis techniques for characterizing low-order detonation particles from 60 mm and 81 mm mortar rounds containing the insensitive munition formulation IMX-104. Particles deposited from three rounds of each caliber were comprehensively sampled and characterized for particle size, energetic purity, and morphology. The 60 mm rounds were command-detonated low order consistently (seven low-order detonations of seven tested rounds), with con-sumption efficiencies of 62%–80% (n = 3). The 81 mm rounds detonated low order inconsistently (three low-order detonations of ten tested rounds), possibly because the rounds were sourced from manufacturing test runs. These rounds had lower consumption efficiencies of 39%–64% (n = 3). Particle-size distributions showed significant variability between munition calibers, between rounds of the same caliber, and with distance from the detonation point. The study reviewed command-detonation configurations, particle transfer losses during sampling and particle-size analysis, and variations in the energetic purity of recovered particles. Overall, this study demonstrated the successful characterization of IMX-104 low-order detonation particles from command detonation to analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Empirical measurements of the spatial distribution, particle-size distribution, mass, morphology, and energetic composition of particles from low-order (LO) detonations are critical to accurately characterizing environ-mental impacts on military training ranges. This study demonstrated a method of generating and characterizing LO-detonation particles, previously applied to insensitive munitions, to 81 mm mortar rounds containing the conventional explosive formulation Composition B. The three sampled rounds had estimated detonation efficiencies ranging from 64% to 82% as measured by sampled residual energetic material. For all sampled rounds, energetic deposition rates were highest closer to the point of detonation; however, the mass per radial meter varied. The majority of particles (>60%), by mass, were <2 mm in size. However, the spatial distribution of the <2 mm particles from the point of detonation varied be-tween the three sampled rounds. In addition to the particle-size-distribution results, several method performance observations were made, including command-detonation configurations, sampling quality control, particle-shape influence on laser-diffraction particle-size analysis (LD-PSA), and energetic purity trends. Overall, this study demonstrated the successful characterization of Composition B LO-detonation particles from command detonation through combined analysis by LD-PSA and sieving.

Full textAbstract:
Postdetonation energetic residues can have environmental impacts that present a risk to military training-range sustainment. As munitions with new explosive formulations are developed and fielded, quantitative methods for assessing their residues are needed. Command detonation (i.e., static firing) allows residue testing to occur early in the acquisition process; however, its representation of live-fire residue production is uncertain due to differences in the initiation mechanism and cartridge orientation. This study aims to validate residue testing by command detonation through statistical comparison of residue deposition rates between live fire and command detonation. Live-fire residues were collected from fourteen 81 mm IMX-104 mortar cartridges fired onto snow, and deposition rates were compared with previous command-detonation tests of the same munition. Average live-fire deposition rates were 8000 mg NTO (3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one), 60 mg DNAN (2,4-dinitroanisole), 20 mg RDX (1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine), and 2 mg HMX (1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane) per cartridge. Compared to command detonation, live fire of the study munition produced significantly greater residues of NTO (p < 0.0001) and RDX (p = 0.01) but not DNAN (p = 0.067). Although absolute deposition rates of some IMX-104 compounds differed, command detonation was successful at predicting the order of magnitude of each IMX-104 compound for the studied 81 mm munition.
