Item 1862 in Dakota Land, a Genocide Forgotten: How civilizational transformation can get lost in the fading rate of history(2008-06-26) Andregg, Michael M.1862 was a critical year in a process by which a land larger than many nations was transformed from one civilization to another. But the process was not a classic conquest easily marked in history books. Rather, it was a slower ‘digestion’ of over 20 million hectares of territory by one civilization accompanied by moments of true genocide or at least “ethnic cleansing” amidst much longer periods of very high death rates for one group and high birth rates and especially immigration rates for the other group. But this was sufficiently gradual that most historians did not record it on their lists of wars and other organized conflicts. I will discuss some extremely divergent views on what happened then. One reason they are so divergent is because the conflict of 1862 and its aftermath were extremely complex, with massacres on both sides, and with Indians working on both sides. Some whites fought to exterminate the Indians while others risked their lives to save them, and vice versa. Half-breeds of many kinds were caught in the middle, trying to survive a dramatic civilizational transformation that was occurring all around them. The result: In 1800, the territory now called Minnesota was 99%+ Indian, and by 1900 it was 99%+ whites of European descent.Item 1929 to 1958 - From Aeronautical Engineering to Mechanics(2007) AEM DepartmentItem 1929 to 1958 - From Aeronautical Engineering to Mechanics - Part 2(2007) AEM DepartmentItem 1958 to 1992 - The Ascendancy of Mechanics(2012) AEM DepartmentItem The 1958 U.S. Trade Mission to Yugoslavia and the United States' "Wedge" Policy: A Technocratic Connection(2020-05) Smiley, Jacob, AItem 1967: The Birth of "The Death of the Author"(National Council of Teachers of English, 2013-05) Logie, JohnAbstract: Roland Barthes’s “The Death of the Author” is a foundational text for scholars who are addressing questions of authorship and textual ownership in English studies and its neighboring disciplines. Barthes’s essay is typically presented without significant attention to the circumstances and context surrounding its initial English publication in 1967 (not in 1968, as is often stated). This project works to better understand that context, and thereby to better understand Barthes’s argument. Although it has often been claimed that Barthes’s essay has a “revolutionary spirit,” this spirit is not directly political in nature. Rather, it is grounded in an artistic revolution that was producing sophisticated multimedia well before digital tools made multimedia commonplace.Item 1984: la violencia política está en Lima.

This behavior is of practical concern to beekeepers since the presence of propolis in the hive has a variety of benefits, including the suppression of disease symptoms. To connect the benefits that bees derive from propolis with particular resinous plants, we determined the identity and botanical origin of propolis compounds active against bee pathogens using bioassay-guided fractionation against the bacterium Paenibacillus larvae, the causative agent of American foulbrood. Eleven dihydro-flavonols were isolated from propolis collected in Fallon, NV, including pinobanksin-3-octanoate. This hitherto unknown derivative and five other 3-acyl-dihydroflavonols showed inhibitory activity against both P. larvae (IC50 ¼ 17e68 mM) and Ascosphaera apis (IC50 ¼ 8e23 mM), the fungal agent of chalkbrood. A structure-activity relationship between acyl group size and antimicrobial activity was found, with longer acyl groups increasing activity against P. larvae and shorter acyl groups increasing activity against A. apis. Finally, it was determined that the isolated 3-acyl-dihydroflavonols originated from Populus fremontii, and further analysis showed these compounds can also be found in other North American Populus spp.Item 4-H Expressive Arts and Brain-Based Learning Research(1999) Shields, CarolMinnesota 4-H Expressive Arts programs have been an important part of 4-H youth development programming for more than two decades. Each year 20,000 to 30,000 young people, ages 8 to 19, are involved in programs offered through a variety of venues in every Minnesota county. Programs and activities include performance art, visual arts, technical theater, script development, writing, and clowning. New pedagogical approaches are continually developed to engage young people in informal, non-competitive learning experiences in the arts.Item 4-H International Exchanges: New Directions after the Cold War(1998) Pace, DavidThere has never been a time when the 4-H Global Education Curriculum and the Global Connections Cross-Cultural 4-H International Exchange Programs have been more important. School systems, community youth educational institutions, and global corporate business leaders are looking for benchmarks of how our youth are meeting global standards. Minnesota youth must be prepared to compete in a global workforce and to be active, productive, contributing global citizens.Item The 4-H Involvement in Workforce Preparation(1998) Sims, MichelleThe Dramatic increase in the need for a skilled, knowledgeable workforce requires preparing youth for meaningful employment. The Center for 4-H Youth Development's involvement in work and life skills gives youth more opportunities to develop attitudes and values that prepare them to enter adulthood. Students encouraged and trained from a young age to pursue knowledge in a format they find interesting and challenging are ready to successfully face the world.Item 4H's Challenges: Integrating Youth Development and Civic Development(1999) Bass, Melissa; Orcutt, LuciaItem 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137, 175(University of Minnesota Law School, 1999) Segall, Eric J.Item 7.1 Faculty Masthead(University of Minnesota.
