Hebraism and Hellenism as seen in Sartor resartus and Wilhelm Meister\u27s apprenticeship
Throughout the years the study of literary relationships has been a highly active form of research. There seems to be a perpetual interest in this field, with its matter of determining influences and comparing relationships and ideas. Certainly this is a logical interest. For on the assumption that literature is a search for truth, in what better way may we find that truth than through s study of the works of the world’s writers, searching for sources of their thoughts, and sharpening those thoughts through comparison and contest.
Those Carlyle and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the authors under consideration here, have often been the subjects for this method of literary criticism. Much of this work has been done with the emphasis on influences, Indeed the influence of Goethe on Carlyle is now as widely recognized as any other like literary kinship, more so than most, perhaps, as the very vocal Scotchman was never one to hide his likes and dislikes in this world of man. The aspect of influence, however, is at best of an indirect importance to this thesis. The interest here is centered rather in the second kind of relationship, one in which ideas are dealt with irrespective of sources of origins. In general, this study is to be a comparison of some of the ideas of Carlyle and Goethe. More specifically, the problem is to discover just how the ideas of these two men are alike and how they vary, to what extent there is variation, and to find, if any, a common basis for the thinking of both authors. This research, in turn, will lead to the primary purpose of this thesis, that is, to see into the nature of Hebraism and Hellenism through the two works. Sartor Resartus and Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship
The Subangelic Vision Of Saul Bellow: A Study Of His First Six Novels, 1944-1964
While there is an understandable reticence on the part of critics of contemporary American literature to make definitive judgements, there does seem to be a general consensus that the novels of Saul Bellow represent the contemporary American novel at its best. Moreover, this consensus comes not only from critical journals with an exclusive and limited circulation, it also is to be seen in publications of wider appeal, the weekly news magazines and the book reviews of daily newspapers. What is even more astonishing is that the reading public seems to agree with the critics and book reviewers; at this writing, Bellow\u27s Herzog is a best-seller.
To reveal the greatness of man that is founded upon his subangelic nature--this is Saul Bellow\u27s announced intention. To the extent that he reveals such a being, and how he creates that being are the subjects of this study. It is important to understand, however, that this is not a philosophical treatise. Nor has it to do with sociology, nor with psychology. It is a literary study, and as such is concerned with the how of Saul Bellow\u27s characters. We would, of course, expect to gain a greater appreciation of his people through this study, more understanding of their well springs and motivations, but the emphasis is to be on Bellow\u27s art. In any case, with the approach of technique as discovery, to use Mark Schorer\u27s term, it is hoped that an examination of the novels of Saul Bellow published to date will serve to illuminate his strictures on the subangelic figure, as well as to clarify what seems to be one of the major literary achievements of our times
Suppression of nano-channel ion conductance by electro-osmotic flow in nano-channels with weakly overlapping electrical double layers
This theoretical study investigates the nonlinear ionic current-voltage
characteristics of nano-channels that have weakly overlapping electrical double
layers. Numerical simulations as well as a 1-D mathematical model are developed
to reveal that the electro-osmotic flow (EOF) interplays with the
concentration-polarization process and depletes the ion concentration inside
the channels, thus significantly suppressing the channel conductance. The
conductance may be restored at high electrical biases in the presence of
recirculating vortices within the channels. As a result of the EOF-driven ion
depletion, a limiting-conductance behavior is identified, which is
intrinsically different from the classical limiting-current behavior
Descreening of Field Effect in Electrically Gated Nanopores
This modeling work investigates the electrical modulation characteristics of
field-effect gated nanopores. Highly nonlinear current modulations are observed
in nanopores with non-overlapping electric double layers, including those with
pore diameters 100 times the Debye screening length. We attribute this extended
field-effect gating to a descreening effect, i.e. the counter-ions do not fully
relax to screen the gating potential due to the presence of strong ionic
transport

Preliminary Geologic Description PRAIRIE #1-A MAST
Three intervals of the Travis Peak Formation were cored in the Prairie #1 - A Mast well, Nacogdoches County, Texas. Core was recovered from 8,623.0 to 8,681.2 ft, 9,143.0 to 9,237.0 ft, and 9,930.0 to 9,991.5 ft. The top of the Travis Peak in this well is at 8,043 ft, so the core begins about 580 ft below the contact with the Sligo Formation.Bureau of Economic Geolog

Preliminary Geologic Description Arco #1 B. F. Phillips
Two intervals of the Travis Peak Formation were cored in the ARCO #1 B. F. Phillips well, Smith County, Texas. Core was recovered from 8,188 to 8,270 ft and from 8,367 to 8,395 ft. The top of the Travis Peak in this well is at 8,141 ft; therefore, the core begins about 50 ft below the contact with the Sligo Formation.Bureau of Economic Geolog

Preliminary Geologic Description Ashland #1 S.F.O.T.
Two intervals of the Travis Peak Formation were cored in the Ashland #1 S.F.O.T. well, Nacogdoches County, Texas. The first interval ranges from 9,783.1 to 9,655.0 ft, and the second interval ranges from 10,083.9 to 10,155.2 ft. The top of the Travis Peak in this well is at 9,406 ft, so the core begins about 260 ft below the contact with the Sligo Formation.Bureau of Economic Geolog

Preliminary Geologic Description Arkla Exploration T.P. Scott No.5
Three intervals of the Travis Peak Formation were cored in the Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company (Arkla) T. P. Scott No. 5 well, Waskom field, Harrison County, Texas. Core was recovered from 5,823.0 to 5,865.3 ft, 6,143.0 to 6,235.9 ft, and 7,413.0 to 7,523.0 ft. The top of the Travis Peak is at 5,841.5 ft (core depth), so 18.5 ft of carbonates from the Sligo Formation were recovered in the upper cored interval.Bureau of Economic Geolog

Preliminary Geologic Description Clayton W. Williams Jr. Sam Hughes #1
Two intervals of the Travis Peak Formation were cored in the Clayton Williams #1 Sam Hughes well, Panola County, Texas. Core was recovered from 6,834.0 to 6,851.7 ft and from 7,044.0 to 7,110.4 ft. The top of the Travis Peak in this well is at 6,830 ft, so the upper core begins a few feet below the contact with the Sligo Formation.Bureau of Economic Geolog

Preliminary Geologic Description Marshall Exploration Werner Sawmill No.5
Three intervals of the Travis Peak Formation were cored in the Marshall Exploration Werner Sawmill No. 5 well, Belle Bower field, Panola County, Texas.
