Structural and Kinematic Evolution of Eocene-Oligocene Grasshopper Extensional Basin, Southwest Montana

The Grasshopper basin of southwest Montana is a complex east-dipping graben containing five unconformity-bounded sequences of Tertiary sedimentary rocks. The Eocene-Oligocene basin lies within the northern Rocky Mountain Basin and Range province. Geologic mapping in five and a half 7.5 minute quadrangles indicates that at least three distinct phases of extension characterize the Cenozoic tectonic evolution of Grasshopper basin from approximately 46 Ma toMa. The significant phases of extension in Grasshopper basin were phases 1 and 3. During the first phase of extension (46-27 Ma) the nonplanar Muddy-Grasshopper fault was initiated and 90% of the basin fill was deposited. At least 7 km of dip-slip displacement along this fault controlled the deposition of the Medicine Lodge beds (3.5 km thick) and development of a transverse fold train and a longitudinal anticline. The second phase of extension (late Eocene-early Oligocene) resulted in northwest-southeast trending extensional structures and was probably coincident with deformation along the Lemhi Pass fault (20 km to the southwest). The third phase of deformation (early Oligocene-middle Miocene) dismembered the once larger protobasin into smaller subbasins and tilted the northwest-dipping limb of the longitudinal anticline. The structures formed during this phase have north-south and northeast trends. Little sediment was deposited during phases 2 and 3. Overall \u3e85% E-W extension accrued. Extensional folds are common in Grasshopper basin and formed during all three phases of extension. One orthogonal fold set was recorded. Two-dimensional kinematic analysis of the longitudinal Bachelor Mountain anticline shows that this fold is a double-­rollover that probably developed above a longitudinal ramp in the Muddy-Grasshopper fault. The transverse folds are the result of the changing strike of the downward­-flattening Muddy-Grasshopper fault. A transverse syncline developed above a convex up part of the fault whereas a transverse anticline formed above a concave up part of the fault that reflects changes in the strike of the fault. Three-dimensional inclined shear probably created this geometry

Worked Examples in Teaching Queries for Searching Academic Databases

The worked-example effect, an application of cognitive load theory, is a well-supported method of instruction for well-structured problems (Chandler and Sweller, 1991; Cooper and Sweller, 1987; Sweller and Cooper, 1985; Tuovinen & Sweller, 1999; Ward and Sweller, 1990). One limitation is expertise-reversal effect, where advanced students perform less well when exposed to worked examples than when exposed to traditional problem solving (Kalyuga, Ayres, Chandler, & Sweller, 2003; Kalyuga, Chandler, & Sweller, 1998; Kalyuga, Chandler, Tuovinen, & Sweller, 2001). A possible alternative to the worked-example approach is the fading example, designed to transition intermediate students to solving well-structured problems without assistance (Renkl, Atkinson & Grobe, 2004). This study showed that studying worked examples was more effect than solving problems or completing fading examples when learning to form search queries for library databases, an ill-structured problem-solving environment. In addition, participants within the worked-example group with low, intermediate and high levels of domain-specific knowledge achieved parity. Within the traditional problem-solving group, those with low domain-specific knowledge performed less well than those with high domain-specific knowledge

Trumpocracy: The Rise of Populism in Europe and America

The purpose of this paper is to examine the root cause of the populist backlash that has been so prominent in recent western democracies. Populist backlashes have occurred with frequency over time, however since the turn of the 21st Century, they have occurred with increased frequency and effectiveness. This is largely due to a disconnect between political and media elites and the general public. I propose two models; the fragment theory and the feedback loop theory to help explain the increased effectiveness of populist movements. The fragment theory is the idea that fringe political parties are able to challenge mainstream parties and gain significant support by appealing to the public on major issues that are poorly addressed by main stream parties. The feedback loop theory is the idea that fringe candidates and parties have a mutual, symbiotic relationship in which the media relies on candidates for extreme rhetoric and advertisement revenue while the extremist candidate or party relies on the media for legitimacy. While this paper is not a comprehensive overview of nationalism or populism in every country, it focuses primarily on populism in the United States, Britain, and France. Finally, this paper examines the future of populism and whether young people will continue the recent trend of populist success

Anthropology’s Science Wars Insights from a New Survey

In recent decades the field of anthropology has been characterized as sharply divided between proscience and antiscience factions. The aim of this study is to empirically evaluate that characterization. We survey anthropologists in graduate programs in the United States regarding their views of science and advocacy, moral and epistemic relativism, and the merits of evolutionary biological explanations. We examine anthropologists’ views in concert with their varying appraisals of major controversies in the discipline (Chagnon/Tierney, Mead/Freeman, and Menchú/Stoll). We find that disciplinary specialization and especially gender and political orientation are significant predictors of anthropologists’ views. We interpret our findings through the lens of an intuitionist social psychology that helps explain the dynamics of such controversies as well as ongoing ideological divisions in the field

Metalated macrocyclic receptors.

The dissertation describes the incorporation of a stable organopalladium fragment into several macrocyclic structures, in which three of four palladium coordination sites are permanently occupied by an S\sb2C ligand bracket . The remaining metal site is filled by a more labile donor, and is used for binding ancillary ligands (substrates) such as phosphines, o-aminopyridine, DNA nucleobases and hydrazine derivatives. Chapter 2 describes the synthesis, oxidative addition, and coordination chemistry of (Pt(TT(11) MC)) (BF\sb4\rbrack (4), (PD(TT(11) MC)) (BF\sb4\rbrack, (8) and (Pd(pr-TOMB-1)) (BF\sb4\rbrack (14), in which one donor (E = S,O) is displaced by stronger ancillary ligands, as confirmed by X-ray structural data as well as \sp1H and \rm\sp{13}C\sp{1H} NMR spectroscopy. Chapter 3 describes the synthesis of several metalated macrocyclic receptors, (Pd(CH\sb3CN)(TOMB-0)) (BF\sb4\rbrack (21), (Pd(CH\sb3CN)(TOMB-1)) (CF\sb3SO\sb3\rbrack, (23) (Pd(CH\sb3CN)(TOMB-3)) (BF\sb4\rbrack, (25) and (Pd(CH\sb3CN)(TOMB-5)) (BF\sb4\rbrack, (26), containing an easily displaced ancillary acetonitrile ligand and polyether arrays for first- and second-sphere interactions with substrates. The receptors were characterized by \sp1H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Chapter 4 describes competition experiments of 21, 23, and 25 for pyridine and o-aminopyridine in which it was found that an increase in the number of oxygen atoms increases selectivity for o-aminopyridine. In extraction experiments performed in acetonitrile with the DNA nucleobases, only 21 was found to extract adenine in any appreciable amount, and 25 exhibits molecular recognition for cytosine, over adenine and guanine. The nature of the first- and second-sphere interactions was determined by X-ray crystallography. Chapter 5 describes the optimization of simultaneous first- and second-sphere interactions using primary amines and hydrazine derivatives as substrates, with 25 and 26 as receptors. Receptor 25 was found to be selective for n-butylamine over N-methylbutylamine. Both receptors exhibit remarkable interactions with hydrazine derivatives, forming 4 point and 7 point interactions between the hydrazinium cation and 25 and 26 respectively, as determined by X-ray crystallography. Chapter 6 describes the development of a new receptor, incorporating a ferrocene moiety for additional characterization of receptor-substrate interactions. Metalation of the macrocycle proved to be difficult due to reduction of the palladium starting material by the ferrocene moiety.Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry.

Work requirements and welfare participation: Analyzing the effects of the JOBS program.

The 1996 welfare reform relies heavily on work as an antidote to "dependency." But have we any reason to expect work requirements to spur people to leave welfare? Recent experience provides an opportunity to analyze the effects of work requirements. The Job Opportunities and Basic Skills (JOBS) program was created as part of the Family Support Act of 1988 (FSA), a welfare reform that established work requirements for recipients of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). JOBS can be thought of as a case study in work requirements. Since the 1996 reform relies on work requirements to reduce welfare participation, it is easy to justify a search for empirical evidence of that connection. This research analyzes the impact of the JOBS program in the American states. The effects of work requirements are estimated within a quantitative model of AFDC participation that draws heavily from two theoretical perspectives.The results generally support development and rational choice theories. However, work requirements associated with the 1988 reform have not significantly affected AFDC participation rates. The estimate of JOBS' impact is negative, as expected, but quite small. A percentage point increase in JOBS participation is associated with a decline in AFDC recipiency the following year of just 0.008 percentage points. When the model is applied to a real case, the magnitude of JOBS' effect on AFDC participation ranks ninth among ten variables
