Energy And Momentum

Studies of nearshore circulation were initiated at Scripps Institution during World War II. A method of estimating the velocity of longshore currents from known wave conditions on straight beaches with parallel contours was devised by Munk and Traylor (1945) and later revised by Putnam, Munk and Traylor (1949). Their methods were based on energy and momentum considerations which were applied to the following two types of observations: (1) field observations of longshore currents along the straight beach at Oceanside, California made by Munk and Traylor (1945), and (2) laboratory measurements conducted at the Department of Engineering, University of California.

The University

The fairer sex takes over and the campus becomes a woman's world. They step in and fill the shoes of the departing men and they reveal a wealth of undiscovered ability. The fate of the A.S.U.C. [Associated Students of the University of California] and its activities rests in their hands and they assume the responsibility of their new tasks with sincerity and confidence. —Blue and Gold, University of California, Berkeley, 1943During World War II, female students at the University of California, Berkeley—then the most populous undergraduate campus in American higher education—made significant advances in collegiate life. In growing numbers, women enrolled in male-dominated academic programs, including mathematics, chemistry, and engineering, as they prepared for home-front employment in fields traditionally closed to them. Women also effectively opposed gendered restrictions on extracurricular participation, filling for the first time such influential campus leadership positions as the presidency of Berkeley's student government and editorship of the university's student newspaper. Female students at Berkeley also furthered activist causes during the war years, with the University Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) serving as one of the most popular outlets for their political engagement. Historically rooted in a mission of Christian fellowship, by the 1940s the University YWCA held progressive positions on many of the nation's central social, political, and economic issues. Throughout the war years, women dedicated to promoting civil liberties, racial equality, and international understanding led the organization in its response to two of the most egregious civil rights violations in U.S. history: racial segregation and Japanese internment.

Geographical Position

Morotai Island is one of the locations which left many traces of World War II in Indonesia. This suggests that Morotai Island has a strategic geographical position for the two military forces involved at the time. In this context, the legacy of World War II in Morotai has important historical value to be preserved, one of them through the establishment of a museum. This study aimed to develop appropriate thematic concept for presentation of the museum. Literature study and field observations conducted to obtain data related to the historical and archaeological remains exist in the study area. The results of this study, obtained information about the actual condition of archaeological remains exist in Morotai, as well as the formulation of the concept of thematic presentation of the exhibition. Thus, early studies of this thematic concepts can provide the storyline, so as to give weight to the information of the existing archaeological remains in the Morotai.Pulau Morotai merupakan salah satu lokasi yang banyak meninggalkan jejak Perang Dunia II di Indonesia. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Pulau Morotai memiliki posisi geografis yang strategis bagi dua kekuatan militer yang terlibat saat itu. Dalam konteks inilah, peninggalan Perang Dunia II yang ada di Morotai memiliki nilai sejarah yang penting untuk dilestarikan, salah satunya melalui pendirian sebuah museum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyusun konsep tematik yang tepat bagi penyajian museum.
