Catholicism in the Second Spanish Republic : religion and politics in Salamanca, 1930-1936
The research for this thesis has been confined in space and time in order to facilitate an investigation of the Church at several levels: the study is as concerned with the faith and the faithful as with the official presence of the hierarchy. It examines questions of religious identity in an area of high Catholic practice, conservative politics and, eventually, genuine popular support for the Nationalist rising. The province of Salamanca, in the north west of Spain, is a particularly appropriate focus for such a study. Part of the Castilian heartland of traditional Spain, it was the home province of Jose Maria Gil Robles and a major area of strength for the parliamentary Catholic right, which mobilised here before anywhere else in Spain. This has led to Salamanca receiving some attention from historians. Scholars such as Paul Preston and Juan Jose Castillo use it to provide examples of the Catholic right's techniques and rhetoric, arguing that the innate conservatism of the Castilian smallholders was manipulated by the great landlords. However, perhaps the most interesting feature of the history of the province in the 1930s is how its story differed from that laid out in Madrid. The historiography of the Second Republic has concentrated - perhaps inevitably - on political and parliamentary struggles. While issues such as disestablishment and the fate of the religious orders were of crucial importance at institutional and governmental level, the impact they had outside the professional circles of church and state is far less certain. This study has moved outside the administrative world of the capital to investigate the impact of the Republic on ordinary Catholic citizens. The minutiae of church/ state relations and the undoubted injustice of the treatment of the religious orders may have outraged the Catholic deputies representing Salamanca in the Cortes, but their Catholic constituents had different concerns. By examining these concerns, this thesis throws new light on the process of breakdown of the Second Republic.

Application of Automatic Tracking Correlation Filtering in Motored Spindle Dynamic Balancing
According to the information characteristics of the dynamic imbalance signal and the definition of correlation function,the principles and algorithm of relevant filter with automatic tracking is given.In labview development system,based on the principles of relevant filter with automatic tracking,the graphics programming of extracting the dynamic imbalance signal is developed.With this programming,the vibration signal including different frequency harmonic signals and noise is processed by simulation and on-site experiment.The results show that: through relevant filter with automatic tracking,the dynamic imbalance signal under different rotating speed can be extracted accurately,and it can meet the requirement of motored spindle dynamic balancing measurement.
