America's Search for a China Policy, 1943-1950 (open access)

America's Search for a China Policy, 1943-1950

Much controversy has surrounded recent American policy toward China. Books of various stripes--distortions, misrepresentations, emotional accounts, and purportedly scholarly studies--have dealt with the formulation of a China policy. Several of the objective studies have featured the role that politics played in reducing American freedom of action. The emphasis has been that, since American diplomatic strategy during the decade of the 1940's was a Democratic responsibility, Republican critics took political advantage of the China "tangle." As congressional criticism mounted, the framework within which the Truman Administration could evolve a policy was increasingly restricted. With the Communist victory in China and the subsequent Korean War, Democratic strategy had apparently backfired. The public became aroused, and policy makers have since had difficulty adjusting to realities.

Aspects of Idiomatic Harmony in the Harpsichord Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti (open access)

Aspects of Idiomatic Harmony in the Harpsichord Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti

Most of Domenico Scarlatti's harmonic progressions are quite orthodox when considered abstractly or free of their positioning in the score. The harmonic movement is given interest by subtle alterations in time; for example, (1) simultaneous upper and lower voices of different lengths, when repeated several times, change their relationship with each other; (2) one voice may be simply delayed so that it lags behind the other voice, thus combining to produce irregular harmonic sound on many succeeding beats; (3) the combination of two or more chords appearing on one beat is similar to number (2) but does not necessarily occur more than once.

The Brahms Variations on a Theme of Paganini and the Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (open access)

The Brahms Variations on a Theme of Paganini and the Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini

Born April 2, 1873, on the estate of Oneg in the province of Novgorod, Russia, Sergei Vassilyvitch Rachmaninoff was the fifth of the six children of Vassili and Lyoubov Boutakova Rachmaninoff. Rachmaninoff's aristocratic descent was traced to the Hospodars Dragosh, rulers of the realm of Molday from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century. One of the daughters from this family had married a son of the Grand Duke Ivan III of Moscow. The son's nephew was named Rachmanin, and from this source the family name originated.1 Rachmaninoff's mother was the daughter of a general, head of Araktcheyev Military College in Novgorod and the owner of a number of estates in the district. It was with a dowry of five of these estates that Lyoubov Boutakova married Vassili Rachmaninoff, and on one of these estates, Oneg, the couple settled down to married life.

THE CARRIER-RECOMBINATION BEHAVIOR AND ANNEALING PROPERTIES OF RADIATION- INDUCED RECOMBINATION CENTERS IN GERMANIUM (open access)

THE CARRIER-RECOMBINATION BEHAVIOR AND ANNEALING PROPERTIES OF RADIATION- INDUCED RECOMBINATION CENTERS IN GERMANIUM

Carrier recombination and annealing of radioinduced recombination centers were investigated for both n- and ptype Ge. The experimental results are explained by a model in which recombination occurs at 0.36 ev above the valence band in gamma -irradiated, n-type Ge; the position of this level is shifted slightly downward for neutron-irradiated Ge. Trapping levels occur in As-doped Ge (at 0.17 ev above the valence band) which are not present in Sb-doped Ge. For p-type Ge, an energy level present in unirradiated Ge acts as a trapping center. A value for the electron capture cross section of n-type Ge is derived: 7 x 10/ sup -//sup 1//sup 9/ cm/sup 2/. The annealing properties of Sb- and As-doped Ge are very different. A model for the annealing results is given in which irradiation produces three major types of defects: interstitials, vacancies, and vacancy-interstitial pairs. The properties of each defect type are described. Association of vacancies with doping atoms is discussed. (D.L.C.)

Characterization of the American Abroad in the Fiction of Ernest Hemingway (open access)

Characterization of the American Abroad in the Fiction of Ernest Hemingway

With the exception of To Have and Have Not, the novels of Ernest Hemingway are set outside the United States; all, however, contain American characters. These Americans might be divided into three categories: American tourists; Americans who live abroad, but either do not like it or are not completely adjusted to it; the Hemingway heroes, characteristically American expatriates who are completely adjusted to and accepted in their alien environments. Toward the tourists, he maintains an attitude of contempt; toward the middle group, his attitude varies from disgust to sympathy; the heroes are, in various guises, Hemingway the expatriate, himself.

The Cosine-Cubed Neutron Spectrometer (open access)

The Cosine-Cubed Neutron Spectrometer

In an attempt to increase the efficiency, a proton recoil neutron spectrometer was built in which the proton detection crystal is in the shape of the surface formed by the rotation of the cos/sup 3/ THETA curve about the THETA = 0 axis where THETA is the angle between the direction of travel of the incident neutron and the direction of travel of the recoil proton. Such a construction makes the detector crystal conform to the range envelope of the protons recoiling from a neutron beam of sufficiently high energy into a gas in which the proton range is proportional to the 3/2 power of the proton energy. Sixteen pieces of thallium-activated cesium iodide were assembled as a mosaic arranged in the cos/sup 3/ THETA shape so that the maximum THETA was 30 deg . Calculations show that 25% of the protons recoil within 30 deg . The Po-Be snd Po-B spectra were measured with the instrument using xenon in the chamber. The resolution of the spectra obtained was low due to nonuniform pulse height response of the CsI crystal sections and excessive gamma-ray response even though sn anthracene proton radiator was used in a coincidence scheme designed to minimize …

Demographic Trends in the Older Population of Texas, 1900 To 1960 (open access)

Demographic Trends in the Older Population of Texas, 1900 To 1960

"The purpose of this thesis is to examine the age structure of the population of Texas as it existed in 1960, and insofar as possible to trace important changes and trends in the older group from 1900 to 1960. The qualification derives from the fact that at this time not all of the data from the 1960 census are available, and hence many trends can be described only through 1950. Where appropriate, the structure and trends characteristic of the total population will be described, usually for comparative purposes."-- leaf 1.
