    No full text
    Robert is a descendant of George Soule, who sailed on the Mayflower as the indentured servant of George Winslow. In this recording, Robert offers to an unnamed audience a brief genealogical history of the Soule family from Duxford and Dartmouth, Massachusetts via Clough Corners, New York to Ionia County, Michigan and the Tri-Cities of Grand Haven, Spring Lake, and Ferrysburg. He concludes with a brief history of his mother's side, the Linn family. Colonel Soule retired after twenty-eight years in the US Air Force, and served on the Ottawa County Road commission, as President of the Tri-Cities Historical Society, and as a member of the Spring Lake Heritage Foundation and the Spring Lake Rotary Club. He received a master's degree from the University of North Dakota and completed post-graduate work at Cambridge University in England

    Estimating Dynamic Traffic Matrices by using Viable Routing Changes

    No full text
    Abstract: In this paper we propose a new approach for dealing with the ill-posed nature of traffic matrix estimation. We present three solution enhancers: an algorithm for deliberately changing link weights to obtain additional information that can make the underlying linear system full rank; a cyclo-stationary model to capture both long-term and short-term traffic variability, and a method for estimating the variance of origin-destination (OD) flows. We show how these three elements can be combined into a comprehensive traffic matrix estimation procedure that dramatically reduces the errors compared to existing methods. We demonstrate that our variance estimates can be used to identify the elephant OD flows, and we thus propose a variant of our algorithm that addresses the problem of estimating only the heavy flows in a traffic matrix. One of our key findings is that by focusing only on heavy flows, we can simplify the measurement and estimation procedure so as to render it more practical. Although there is a tradeoff between practicality and accuracy, we find that increasing the rank is so helpful that we can nevertheless keep the average errors consistently below the 10% carrier target error rate. We validate the effectiveness of our methodology and the intuition behind it using commercial traffic matrix data from Sprint's Tier-1 backbon

    Genus &lt;i&gt;Plesiocleidochasma&lt;/i&gt; Soule, Soule &amp; Chaney, 1991 &lt;p&gt; &lt;i&gt;Plesiocleidochasma&lt;/i&gt; Soule &lt;i&gt;et al.&lt;/i&gt;, 1991: 474; Tilbrook 2006: 290.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;i&gt;Schedocleidochasma&lt;/i&gt; Soule &lt;i&gt;et al.&lt;/i&gt;, 1991: 480; Tilbrook 2006: 293; Z&aacute;gor&scaron;ek 2010: 166. Type species: &lt;i&gt;Lepralia porcellana&lt;/i&gt; var. &lt;i&gt;normani&lt;/i&gt; Livingstone, 1926.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Diagnosis (amended).&lt;/b&gt; Colony encrusting uni- to multilaminar, multiserial. Zooecia ovoid, hexagonal or polygonal, few distal pore-chambers present; frontal shield imperforate except for a few marginal areolar pores; secondary calcification during ontogeny may be extensive, obscuring surficial primary features. Primary orifice cleithridiate, poster with smooth inner rim (not beaded) forming strong proximally directed condyles, anter rounded or bluntly arrow-shaped; oral spines usually present in young zooids only. Ovicell globose, hyperstomial, ooecium imperforate with calcified ectooecium quickly covered and disguised by hypercalcification of distal zooid(s); proximal ooecial margin variably shaped, often with lateral incisions and a central ectooecial fenestra of different shape and size, occasionally with horizontal bars merging medially to form a labellum; not closed by operculum. Avicularia adventitious, single or paired, mono- or dimorphic, generally situated close to orifice, rostrum usually acute, seldom wide and/or rounded distally, with a variably developed internal shelf that may form a triangular or trifoliate distal opesia; crossbar usually complete and with ligula. Ancestrula tatiform with well-developed proximal gymnocyst.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Remarks.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Schedocleidochasma&lt;/i&gt; Soule, Soule &amp; Chaney, 1991 (type species &lt;i&gt;Schedocleidochasma porcellaniforme&lt;/i&gt; Soule, Soule &amp; Chaney, 1991) is here synonymised with &lt;i&gt;Plesiocleidochasma&lt;/i&gt; Soule, Soule &amp; Chaney, 1991, which was introduced earlier in the same publication. Soule &lt;i&gt;et al.&lt;/i&gt; (1991) distinguished these genera mainly based on presumed differences in formation of the proximal ooecial margin. Whereas &lt;i&gt;Plesiocleidochasma&lt;/i&gt; has a simple median labellum framed by lateral incisions, the labellum in &lt;i&gt;Schedocleidochasma&lt;/i&gt; is produced by lateral horizontal bars merging in the centre, leaving a transverse, slit-like fenestra. However, in several species there are intermediate stages between these morphological &lsquo;end-members&rsquo;. For instance, in &lt;i&gt;Plesiocleidochasma mediterraneum&lt;/i&gt; Chimenz, Gusso &amp; Soule, 2003 there is a small median fenestra in the labellum, which would rather place it in &lt;i&gt;Schedocleidochasma&lt;/i&gt;, but which is covered during ontogeny, and only then resembles the characteristic imperforate labellum of &lt;i&gt;Plesiocleidochasma&lt;/i&gt;. In contrast, &lt;i&gt;Lepralia porcellana&lt;/i&gt; Busk, 1860 (see below), originally placed in &lt;i&gt;Schedocleidochasma&lt;/i&gt; by Soule &lt;i&gt;et al.&lt;/i&gt; (1991), does have a central fenestra, which is, however, small and rounded rather than slit-like, while lateral bars were not observed to contribute to the formation of the fenestra. Moreover, the lateral incisions are absent or only very faintly developed in this species. It thus appears that a range of different morphologies of the proximal ooecial margin exist in this species group and that a clear dividing line between taxa cannot be drawn. As all other characters are identical or interchangeable, the separation of these genera is, in my opinion, unjustified.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The generic diagnosis is therefore amended to include characters hitherto reserved for &lt;i&gt;Schedocleidochasma&lt;/i&gt;. Information on the ancestrula, which has been figured by Pizzaferri &amp; Berning (2007: fig. 4A) for the first time, is also incorporated.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Recent species included in the genus &lt;i&gt;Plesiocleidochasma&lt;/i&gt; are: &lt;i&gt;P. normani&lt;/i&gt; (Livingstone, 1926), &lt;i&gt;P. cleidostomum&lt;/i&gt; (Smitt, 1873) &lt;b&gt;n. comb.&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;P. fallax&lt;/i&gt; (Canu &amp; Bassler, 1929), &lt;i&gt;P. immersum&lt;/i&gt; (Soule, Soule &amp; Chaney, 1991) &lt;b&gt;n. comb.&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;P. laterale&lt;/i&gt; (Harmer, 1957), &lt;i&gt;P. mediterraneum&lt;/i&gt; Chimenz Gusso &amp; Soule, 2003, &lt;i&gt;P. perspicuum&lt;/i&gt; (Hayward &amp; Cook, 1983) &lt;b&gt;n. comb.&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;P. porcellaniforme&lt;/i&gt; Soule, Soule &amp; Chaney, 1991 &lt;b&gt;n&lt;/b&gt;. comb., &lt;i&gt;P. porcellanum&lt;/i&gt; (Busk, 1860) &lt;b&gt;n. comb.&lt;/b&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;P. septemspinosa&lt;/i&gt; Tilbrook, 2006.&lt;/p&gt;Published as part of &lt;i&gt;Berning, Björn, 2012, Taxonomic notes on some Cheilostomata (Bryozoa) from Madeira, pp. 36-54 in Zootaxa 3236&lt;/i&gt; on pages 47-48, DOI: &lt;a href="http://zenodo.org/record/211022"&gt;10.5281/zenodo.211022&lt;/a&gt

    The following pages on Partnership and Financial Adjustments were prepared for the Author\u27s revised work titled Soule\u27s Philosophic Practical Mathematics. The revision and the enlarging of this work have occupied the attention of the Author during the past four years. The work will contain about 1200 pages of the highest practical mathematical work ever published. It is now in press, and will probably be ready by the end of 1894. These pages are printed in advance of the full work in answer to a demand for Partnership and Financial Adjustments, by book-keepers and business men. Many of the intricate problems and transactions herein worked and discussed occurred in actual business, with different names and amounts, and were submitted to the Author for adjustment during his thirty-seven years of professional service as an expert and consulting accountant, and as a teacher and lecturer on the commercial sciences
