The regency and administration of James Douglas, fourth earl of Morton
Morton, the obvious successor to Mar in November, 1572, effectively commenced his regency in June, 1573, by which date all opposition had been pacified or overcome. His overthrow in March, 1578 was, at least partly, the result of his own maladroit tactics. Although he was subsequently reinstated, …

Morton Effect Induced Instability in Mid-Span Rotorâ Hydrodynamic Bearing Systems
The Morton Effect in the rotor - bearing systems may lead to an unstable operation. Up to the present, most of the established research efforts have been focused on the overhung rotor systems. In this dissertation, a systematic study on the Morton Effect induced instability in mid-span rotor …

Handcrafting a national industry : the production and patronage of Alexander Morton & Company's Donegal carpets
This thesis offers a social history of Alexander Morton & Company's Donegal carpets--their production and patronage. These nineteenth-century carpets were promoted as artistic products and appealed to upper- and middle-class consumers in Britain, Ireland, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and …

Morton Feldman's clarinet works: A study through the words of the note man
Morton Feldman's writings, lectures, and interviews reveal a unified and consistent compositional drive towards a static musical rhetoric, or, to use his term, Time Undisturbed. Essential to his outlook was the notion of orchestration as the primary compositional determinant: Feldman's starting …

How Informal Education Programs Can Learn From Higher Education Assessment: Evaluating the Morton Arboretum's N-ACT Program
<p>As a response to the debate about the worth of completing a degree, higher education has built a set of assessment practices intended to quantify the change in a student as they matriculate from a first year to a graduate controlling for the different backgrounds of students. Cultural …

The Performance Of Alternative Interest Rate Risk Measures And Immunization Strategies Under A Heath-Jarrow-Morton Framework
The Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model represents the latest in powerful arbitrage-free technology for modeling the term structure and managing interest rate risk. Yet risk management strategies in the form of immunization portfolios using duration, convexity, and M-square are still widely used in …

Efficiency and Accuracy of Alternative Implementations of No-Arbitrage Term Structure Models of the Heath-Jarrow-Morton Class
… especially those of the Heath-Jarrow-Morton (1992) class, have become very popular recently, both with academics and practitioners. Surprisingly however, although the implied volatility function plays a crucial role in these no-arbitrage term structure models, there is little …

Time has turned into space and there will be no more time: The scenic late works of Morton Feldman
This dissertation studies the long, late works of Morton Feldman. Tackling this confusing body of work from an aural and experiential perspective, the dissertation develops a preliminary method for analysis and reflects on the unusual temporal experiences engendered by the music, including …

A Thermoelastohydrodynamic Model of The Morton Effect Operating in Overhung Rotors Supported by Plain or Tilting Pad Journal Bearings
… which are non-synchronous in nature, the Morton Effect is a synchronous phenomenon. This thermal instability occurs primarily in overhung rotors that are supported by fluid film bearings and is caused by differential viscous shearing within the bearing lubricant. The Morton Effect has also …
