U.S.-Austrian Relations in the Pre-Anschluss Period: FDR'S Unwillingness for WarBerteau, John S. 15 December 2007 (has links)
This paper evaluates the United States' decision not to come to Austria's aid prior to and during the Anschluss of 12 March 1938. The uniqueness of this work is the two-front evaluation of both the internal/domestic affairs of the United States and the foreign policy of the US Government vis-à-vis Hitler's aggressive foreign policy. As this paper will show, Anschluss might have been prevented, but at a cost neither the United States nor European powers were willing to pay. The domestic situation in the United States was too fragile, as was the lack of public support for war for FDR to have any leeway in militarily aiding Austria. American, and to some degree European, opinion held that the Austrian question was a European matter, and to that end American domestic policy dominated foreign policy in hopes of reestablishing the United States economy prior to attempting to aid anyone else.

Millimeter-Wave Wide Band Antenna Array for 5G Mobile ApplicationsChen, Lixia 18 July 2019 (has links)
The thesis presents a compact, miniature, and low cost antenna array designed for millimeter-wave frequencies for future 5th generation (5G) mobile applications. The proposed antenna array is a geometrically modified structure of the Franklin array, which allowed to transform a conventional narrowband array into a wideband antenna array. It is composed of five millimetre-wave circular patch radiation elements with phasing stubs.
The designed array, fabricated on the commercial Rogers RO3003 substrate with small form factor of 8x25x0.5 mm3, covers the upcoming 5G band of 23.6-30.3 GHz, with peak gain as 10.8 dB, and high radiation efficiency over the whole operating band. In addition, with frequency sweeping, the proposed antenna array radiation pattern is directive and offers beam steering at the desired angles, acting similarly as a leaky-wave antenna.

Velká hospodářská krize v USA ve 20. letech dvacátého století a pokusy o obnovu bankovního systémuDubíková, Lucia January 2007 (has links)
Má diplomová práce by měla mít ve větší míře analytický charakter. Rozdělila jsem ji na dvě hlavní kapitoly: hospodářský vývoj USA ve 20. letech 20. století a pokusy o obnovu bankovního systému. V první kapitole se věnuji analýze situace, v jaké se Spojené státy nacházely ve dvacátých letech, kdy můžeme pozorovat známky nastupující recese. Spojené státy změnily své postavení a staly se světovou mocností a hlavním vítězem první světové války. Hospodářskou politiku výrazně ovlivňovala válečná zkušenost tohoto konfliktu. S tím však přicházely i nové hospodářské, sociální a politické důsledky. Ze světového dlužníka se staly světovým věřitelem. Narůstala investiční aktivita, lidé si zvykli žít svůj ,,život na půjčku? a stále více se zadlužovali. Měnila se také politická situace, kde vládu demokratů vyměnila na dlouhé období vláda republikánů. V hospodářské politice to znamenalo zejména nižší daně, vyšší cla, omezení přímé regulace a decentralizace rozhodování. Rozpočtová politika se přizpůsobila zejména splácení válečných půjček, což znamenalo po celé období dvacátých let přebytkové rozpočty.

The unpublished plays of Miles FranklinHedley, Jocelyn, School of English, Media & Performing Arts, UNSW January 2007 (has links)
With the publication of her novel, My Brilliant Career, in 1901, Miles Franklin became the darling of the Sydney literati. Great things were expected of the little girl from the bush. But five years later, nothing had eventuated; her talent, Miles thought, was barely recognised in Australia. In the hope of gaining greater writing opportunities, she shipped to Chicago where she became involved in social reform. It was hard work and ill paid, and though she bewailed the fact that it sapped her writing energy, she nonetheless felt a commitment to the cause such that she remained for almost a decade. In her spare time, though, she continued to write -- and not just prose. More and more she wrote for the theatre, attempting to push into a world of which she had always dreamed. Blessed with a beautiful singing voice, she had long desired to be on the stage. This was impossible, though; her voice, she believed, had been ruined by bad training in her youth. To write for the stage, then, though a poor substitute, was at least in the field of her original ideal. Miles' plays, though, are not remembered today, and are little thought of in scholarship, are considered, in fact, to have failed. This gives the false impression that they were always little thought of. Her correspondence, however, reveals that at least five of the plays were produced, indicating a certain level of success. Miles Franklin's theatrical work, then, is surely worthy of further examination. This thesis looks at five of the plays in the light of Miles' life and in the light of the society in which she found herself. In turn, it uses the plays to reveal something of the nature of the playwright herself and to show that Miles Franklin's theatrical writing did not fail as once thought. In addition, it provides a complete bibliography of the plays (inclusive of locations), lists the duplications as they appear under alternate titles and provides synopses of a large number. This will make up for a gap in Miles Franklin scholarship and will facilitate other scholars in accessing the plays. This thesis, then, is an introduction to a new facet of Miles Franklin scholarship.

The United States and Arms Control: Anglo-American Competitive Cooperation at the 1935 London Naval ConfereceRoe, David 14 August 2012 (has links)
This work considers the strategic value of the 1935 London Naval Conference to the United States Navy and the American Government. It addresses longstanding historiographical debates on interwar American foreign policy, including the nature of isolationism under the Roosevelt Administration, the degree of Anglo-American cooperation in the 1930s, and the strategic vision of the United States Navy in the Pacific in the interwar period. Taking into account in equal degrees the perspectives of the uniformed naval officers and the civilian diplomats in the State Department, this thesis will argue that American participation in the 1935 London Naval Conference shows a degree of international participation and a commitment to the international order that is often overlooked by historians in this field.

Dendroclimatological and dendroglaciological investigations at Confederation and Franklin glaciers, central Coast Mountains, British Columbia, CanadaCoulthard, Bethany L. 15 November 2010 (has links)
It has become increasingly clear that climate fluctuations during the Holocene
interval were unusually frequent and rapid, and that our current understanding of the
temporal and spatial distribution of these oscillations is incomplete. Little
paleoenvironmental research has been undertaken on the windward side of the central Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. Very high annual orographic precipitation totals, moderate annual temperatures regulated by the Pacific Ocean, and extreme topographic features result in a complex suite of microclimate conditions in this largely unstudied area.
Dendroclimatological investigations conducted on a steep south-facing slope near
Confederation and Franklin glaciers suggest that both mountain hemlock (Tsuga
mertensiana) and subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) trees at the site are limited by previous year mean and maximum summer temperatures. A regional subalpine fir chronology for the central and southern Coast Mountains indicates that subalpine fir trees at the study site experience physiological stress with warm summer temperatures, despite the high
annual precipitation totals experienced there. This response is likely a result of the extreme gradient and the aspect of the slope at the sampling location, underscoring the importance of site characteristics on annual radial tree growth. Local (AD 1820-2008) and regional (AD 1700-2008) tree ring width chronologies were used to reconstruct
previous July mean and maximum temperatures, explaining between 13% and 36% of the
variance in climate. The proxy record features cool intervals that are comparable to other paleoenvironmental research from the region, and cyclical oscillations in temperature commonly associated with the El Niño Southern Oscillation and Pacific Decadal
Oscillation. Century-scale fluctuations may be connected to changes in solar irradiance.
Dendroglaciological investigations were undertaken at the confluence of the
Confederation and Franklin glaciers with the intention of exploring the Holocene
behaviour of low-elevation maritime glaciers in this region. These glaciers are suspected
to be sensitive to variations in the mean position of winter freezing level heights and
warm winter temperatures, and may respond differently to changes in climate than more
continental glaciers. Buried wood samples were radiocarbon-dated and cross-dated to
construct three floating chronologies. Float A (r = 0.467) suggests an early Little Ice Age advance of the two glaciers, and Float B (r = 0.466) suggests an early Tiedemann
advance of Confederation Glacier. Float C (r = 0.519) is dated to the Garibaldi Phase of
glacier expansion, but may not have been killed by glacial activity. The temporal
synchronicity of these findings with glacial events documented throughout the region
suggests a spatially coherent response of maritime and continental glaciers to the
dominant climate–forcing mechanisms operating in Pacific North America throughout
the late Holocene.
The dendroclimatological and dendroglaciological findings of this study help to fill a spatial research gap in the current understanding of Holocene climate variations in British Columbia. Because of the complex and at times topographically-controlled response of conifers to climate in the study area, this region may provide a particular challenge in terms of reconstructing Holocene climate variability.
