No full textThe Steven Schwarzschild Collection documents the professional activities of Rabbi Steven S. Schwarzschild as a researcher, philosopher, and teacher. It also documents to a lesser degree the personal lives of Steven Schwarzschild and his wife Lily. The collection includes brochures, booklets, clippings, correspondence, notes, off prints, photographs, printed materials, and writings. Documents comprising the collection shed light on Steven Schwarzschild’s education, and reflect various aspects of Steven Schwarzschild’s involvement with Judaism, as leader of Jewish congregations in Fargo, North Dakota and Lynn, Massachusetts; his academic career, research and writings in the fields of philosophy and theology placing him among the leading Jewish thinkers of the twentieth century.There is a very small amount of personal materials pertaining to Steven and Lily Schwarzschild. These materials include documents pertaining to Lily Schwarzschild’s investments, pension, and medical bills. Additionally, there are some photographs of Steven Schwarzschild and friends. The larger portion of the collection consists of teaching and research materials, consisting of notes, student writings, printed materials, correspondence, and Rabbi Schwarzschild’s writings. Topics include humanism and ethics, the philosophy of Moses Maimonides and its impact on the Jewish philosophical and religious thought, Enlightenment, Jewish philosophers, socialism and political philosophy. Teaching-related materials include a small amount of materials such as class rosters, syllabi, grading materials, reading lists, and correspondence with researchers and students. Manuscripts collected here vary in forms, ranging from short essays, sermons, and articles to academic works of a much larger scale. The majority of the writings collected here were published in books and journals, but there is also a small number of unpublished manuscripts, both by Steven Schwarzschild and other authors.Correspondence includes prominent Jewish philosophers and religious and communal leaders of the 20th century, like Leo Baeck, Erich Fromm, and Ernst Simon. Also collected here is the correspondence with academic, cultural, and religious organizations, as well as correspondence with Holocaust survivors. Steven Schwarzschild’s rabbinical work is documented by a limited amount of materials dealing with his service as a rabbi in Berlin between 1948 and 1950 and materials pertaining to his work with Temple Beth El in Fargo, North Dakota and Temple Beth El in Lynn, Massachusetts. These materials include newsletters and announcements, correspondence, and rabbinical records including death, birth, conversion, and marriage records.Steven S. Schwarzschild was born 1924 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. His family escaped Nazi Germany and settled in the United States in 1939. After receiving ordination from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati in 1948, Steven Schwarzschild moved to Berlin to serve as the rabbi for the Jűdische Gemeinde zu Berlin. He stayed in Berlin for over two years and in 1950 moved back to the United States. He settled in Fargo, North Dakota, where he served as rabbi for Temple Beth El. In the late 1950s, Steven Schwarzschild became rabbi at Temple Beth El in Lynn, Massachusetts.In 1961, he became an editor of the quarterly journal Judaism. He resigned form his position in 1969 in a protest against a lack of independence that he had in his position as an editor. In 1965, Rabbi Schwarzschild became a Professor of Philosophy and Judaic Studies at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. He taught and wrote on a variety of topics including ethics, Judaism, Jewish personalities, socialism, and aesthetics.In his academic work and research he was most influenced by Hermann Cohen, Immanuel Kant and Moses Maimonides. Steven Schwarzschild was also involved in social movements as well as in interfaith dialogues, most notably with the Protestant theologian, John Howard Yoder and the American Catholic monk and writer, Thomas Merton. Steven Schwarzschild died in 1989.Finding aid available online.Processeddigitize

Corolla size and temporal displacement of flowering times among sympatric diploid and tetraploid highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)
No full textPolyploidy (whole-genome duplication) is common in vascular plants, but the modes of establishment and persistence, as well as the ecological consequences, of polyploidy remain vague. Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is an ecologically and economically important understory shrub with an unclear species definition, coexisting in sympatric populations of diploid and tetraploid cytotypes. This study analyzes differences in bloom time between sympatric diploid and tetraploid V. corymbosum in natural populations, testing the potential for these cytotypes to interbreed and contributing to the formation and continuity of ploidy-level diversification within this species. Ploidal level was confirmed through DNA flow cytometry of sympatric plants from two populations in New Jersey, USA. Flower bloom date and corolla size were recorded over a three-year period. Diploid corollas were 32% smaller than tetraploid corollas, making them easily identifiable in the field. Ploidy accounted for 55-69% of the variation in bloom date, with diploids flowering about one week before tetraploids, and the remaining variation distributed among plants, among branches, and within branches. Notwithstanding these differences, there was modest overlap in flowering time between cytotypes, suggesting that cross-pollination is possible. This contributes evidence to the most current species definition of V. corymbosum as a single (mixed ploidy) species.Poster's Graduate Student Thesis Publication.Peer reviewed

Unified mathematical treatment of complex cascaded bipartite networks: The case of collections of journal papers
No full textIn this study, a mathematical treatment is proposed for analysis of entities and relations among entities in
complex networks consisting of cascaded bipartite networks. This treatment is applied to the case of
collections of journal papers. In this case, entities are distinguishable objects and concepts, such as papers,
references, paper authors, reference authors, paper journals, reference journals, institutions, terms, and term
definitions. Relations are associations between entity-types such as papers and the references they cite, or
paper authors and the papers they write. An entity-relationship model is introduced that explicitly shows
direct links between entity-types and possible useful indirect relations. From this a matrix formulation and
generalized matrix arithmetic are introduced that allow easy expression of relations between entities and
calculation of weights of indirect links and co-occurrence links. Occurrence matrices, equivalence
matrices, membership matrices and co-occurrence matrices are described. A dynamic model of growth
describes recursive relations in occurrence and co-occurrence matrices as papers are added to the paper
collection. Graph theoretic matrices are introduced to allow information flow studies of networks of papers
linked by their citations. Similarity calculations and similarity fusion are explained. Derivation of feature
vectors for pattern recognition techniques is presented. The relation of the proposed mathematical
treatment to seriation, clustering, multidimensional scaling, and visualization techniques is discussed. It is
shown that most existing bibliometric analysis techniques for dealing with collections of journal papers are
easily expressed in terms of the proposed mathematical treatment: co-citation analysis, bibliographic
coupling analysis, author co-citation analysis, journal co-citation analysis, Braam-Moed-vanRaan (BMV)
co-citation/co-word analysis, latent semantic analysis, hubs and authorities, and multidimensional scaling.
This report discusses an extensive software toolkit that was developed for this research for analyzing and
visualizing entities and links in a collection of journal papers. Additionally, an extensive case study is
presented, analyzing and visualizing 60 years of anthrax research through a collection of journal papers.
When dealing with complex networks that consist of cascaded bipartite networks, the treatment presented
here provides a general mathematical framework for all aspects of analysis of static network structure and
network dynamic growth. As such, it provides a basic paradigm for thinking about and modeling such
networks: computing direct and indirect links, expressing and analyzing statistical distributions of network
characteristics, describing network growth, deriving feature vectors, clustering, and visualizing network
structure and growth

Steven Leiber catalogs
No full textSteven Leiber was a pioneering San Francisco art dealer, collector and gallerist who specialized in the dematerialized art practices of the 1960s and 1970s and the ephemera and documentation spawned by conceptual art and other postwar movements. To sell this material, Leiber produced a series of 52 iconic catalogs between 1992 and 2010. Far from your ordinary dealer catalog, Leiber's catalogs paid homage to the kind of historic printed matter that he bought and sold, mimicking iconic publications like Wallace Berman?s Semina journal and the exhibition catalog for Documenta V (1972). Leiber's reputation spread via these unique volumes, which included works by John Baldessari, Lynda Benglis, Ray Johnson, Lucy Lippard, Allan Kaprow, Yayoi Kusama, Claes Oldenburg, Ed Ruscha, Lawrence Weiner and many more. Across 252 pages, this book documents the full set of 52 dealer catalogs produced by Steven Leiber between 1992 and 2010. Inspired by Leiber's often humorous borrowing for his catalog designs, the book's format references Sol LeWitt's Autobiography and includes an essay and contextual notes by SFMOMA Head Librarian David Senior. Additional contributors include Ann Butler, Christophe Cherix, Marc Fischer, Adam Michaels, Tom Patchett, David Platzker, Marcia Reed, Lawrence Rinder and Robin Wrigh
