Madawaska Ballots: Ralph Owen Brewster\u27s Contested Elections in the St. John Valley
No full textWhen Ralph Owen Brewster was narrowly defeated in the 1924 Republican gubernatorial primary (initially) and 1932 congressional election, he attempted to have votes from the towns and plantations on the St. John River thrown out on various pretexts. Brewster, a populist who had opposed power company interests as governor, alleged in 1932 that these interests had conspired to defeat him by arranging illegitimate votes in the Francophone border region. Investigation of voting trends, however, shows that the vote against Brewster was likely the result of more routine political partisanship, as well as a rejection of his Ku Klux Klan support and anti-Catholic policies.

Mathematical Information Retrieval: Search and Question Answering
No full textMathematical information is essential for technical work, but its creation, interpretation, and search are challenging. To help address these challenges, researchers have developed multimodal search engines and mathematical question answering systems. This monograph begins with a simple framework characterizing the information tasks that people and systems perform as we work to answer math-related questions. The framework is used to organize and relate the other core topics of the monograph, including interactions between people and systems, representing math formulas in sources, and evaluation. We close by addressing some key questions and presenting directions for future work. This monograph is intended for students, instructors, and researchers interested in systems that help us find and use mathematical information.https://digitalcommons.usm.maine.edu/facbooks/1699/thumbnail.jp
Maxwell\u27s Second Equation: the Gauss\u27s Law for Magnetostatic Fields
Get PDFGauss\u27s Law for magnetostatic fields says that the total magnetic flux through a closed surface is equal to zero. In otherwords, there are no magnetic monopoles. This law has been applied in multiple mathematical derivations. Watch the short video where Dr. Maxworth explains this law. In the worksheet you can observe the magnetic flux generated due to a current through a straight coaxial cable. Note that the magnetic flux always exisit as close loops making the total net flux through a closed surface zero and the direction of the magnetic field can be derived by the right hand rule, i.e when you point the thumb of the right hand the direction of curling fingers indicate the direction of the magnetic field.https://digitalcommons.usm.maine.edu/oer_engineering_maxworth_emfields/1002/thumbnail.jp
Maxwell\u27s First Equation: the Gauss\u27s Law for Electrostatic Fields
Get PDFGauss\u27s Law for electrostatic fields states the net electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the total charge enclosed. Under the assumption that one charge produces only one flux, the Gauss\u27s Law states that the net electric flux through a closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed. The applications of Gauss\u27s Law includes, electro-filters, xerographic printing, electrostatic sheilding and many more. Watch the two short videos where Dr. Maxworth explains the Gauss\u27s Law for electrostatic fields and derive the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor. Then you may complete the Ansys worksheets on the parallel plate capacitor. In the third video she explains the derivation of the capacitance of a coaxial cable. Make sure to watch that video and you may complete the Ansys worksheet on the electric field inside a coaxial cable.https://digitalcommons.usm.maine.edu/oer_engineering_maxworth_emfields/1001/thumbnail.jp
Quality Improvement of Exercise Rehabilitation Plans
No full textThis quality improvement initiative aimed to enhance rehabilitation instruction at a secondary school by integrating video-based demonstrations. The current protocol relied on printed packets with minimal instructions, leading to inefficiencies and workflow disruptions. The athletic training student created and uploaded instructional exercise videos to a YouTube playlist, offering step-by-step guidance on complex exercises. Video engagement revealed higher views for more complex exercises. The project demonstrates the value of video-based learning for athletes and provides a valuable educational experience for the athletic training student
Evidence for crustal brines and deep fluid infiltration in an oceanic transform fault
Get PDFAlthough oceanic transform faults (OTFs) are ubiquitous plate boundaries, the geological processes occurring along these systems remain underexplored. The Gofar OTF of the East Pacific Rise has gained attention due to its predictable, yet enigmatic, earthquake cycle. Here, we present results from the first ever controlled-source electromagnetic survey of an OTF, which sampled Gofar. We find that the fault is characterized by a subvertical conductor, which extends into the lower crust and thus implies deep fluid penetration. We also image subhorizontal crustal conductors distributed asymmetrically about the fault. We interpret these subhorizontal anomalies as crustal brines, and we suggest that the high permeability of the fault combined with the influence of melt in the transform domain can promote hydrothermal circulation and brine condensation at OTF
