Military Life at Fort Atkinson 1819-1827
No full textThis thesis uses an in depth examination of documents and other archeological finds in order to give an accurate description of military life at Fort Atkinson from 1819-1827.During the summer of 1956, the Nebraska State Historical Society Field Party, conducted by Marvin F. Kivett, Director of the Museum, excavated a portion of the site of the fort, near Fort Calhoun, Nebraska.The author was granted access to the material recovered by this archeological field party for the writing of this thesis.
The author first gives an examination of the background behind For Atkinson, including a description of the Yellowstone Expedition and the expedition for Council Bluffs.The author then goes on to discuss the construction of the fort, the general routines of those who lived at Fort Atkinson, the quartermaster and their duties, the medical department and even details of the musicians and band that worked at the fort.The author also wrote of the relations Fort Atkinson had with neighboring Indian tribes and finally discusses the reasons behind the decision to abandon Fort Atkinson and the overall significance of Fort Atkinson.

Nancy Atkinson
No full textAn Author Event presented by The Friends of the University of Adelaide Library, 16 August 2018, Ira Raymond Exhibition Room, Barr Smith Library.Emma will speak about Nancy Atkinson who was a pioneer bacteriologist in antibiotics and salmonellas from 1939 at the University of Adelaide and the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science. Interestingly, Emma’s grandmother, Jessica McEwin (nee Mawson), was working at the University of Adelaide as a bacteriologist at the same time as Nancy Atkinson. Writing about Nancy continues Emma’s theme of promoting lives which might otherwise go unrecognised. Situating Nancy Atkinson in the context of women scientists of the 20th Century and more particularly in the context of South Australian women scientists will help to highlight the significance of her achievements and contributions to scientific research. Emma will be making use of Nancy’s papers that are held in Special Collections

Some history leading to design criteria for Bayesian prediction
No full textThe chapters in this volume present the state of optimum experimental design at the beginning of the new millennium, with an emphasis on developing areas. The contributions range from theory to applications, starting with a glimpse back to the beginnings of optimum experimental design. Theoretical chapters cover the properties and methods of construction of designs. Applications include chapters on sequential design problems in the pharmaceutical industry and on the designs with discrete factors in agriculture. There are chapters on training neural networks, on the efficient selection of sampling methods, and on problems arising in glass making and in herbicide resistance of Brazilian weeds. The contributors, from a variety of countries, include many acknowledged experts whose work reflects the international spread of activity in the subject. Audience: Experimentalists as well as research workers and students in statistics will find much to interest them in these papers
Bounded Sequential Dominance Criteria
No full textIn the spirit of Fleurbaey et al. (2001), it is tempting to introduce more reasonable lower and upper bounds in Atkinson and Bourguigon’s (1987) sequential generalized Lorenz dominance procedure. Unfortunately, our proposal leads, at best, to an average household income criterion, which is unsuited to make heterogeneous welfare comparisons. We therefore restrict attention to imposing either lower or upper bounds, resulting in two new sequential dominance criteria.

Premnophilus maiai Atkinson & Flechtmann 2023, new species
No full textPremnophilus maiai Atkinson & Flechtmann, new species Fig. 8 A–D urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 461E6F51-FECC-46D5-94AA-224517197E97 Diagnosis. This species and P. bertii differ from those previously described here in that the declivity is clearly sulcate, with a rounded margin from the declivital apex almost to its base which bears 2–3 denticles. There are no granules on the declivital face. Female. Total length: 2.10 mm, maximum width: 0.75 mm, length of elytra: 1.18 mm, total length / width: 2.80, elytra length / width: 1.57, pronotal length / width: 1.23 (n=1). Elytra reddish brown, pronotum yellowish brown. Frons shining, smooth, with small, shallow punctures, these widely spaced, some with erect setae slightly longer than the distance between punctures. Punctures becoming granulate near epistoma. A very weakly elevated, longitudinal carina runs from well above the eyes but ends before the epistomal margin. First segment of anterior face of antennal club corneus, bisinuate, middle portion not reaching middle of club; distal part densely pubescent without visible sutures; pubescent area not reaching base of antennal laterally. Posterior face with corneous portion occupying 3/4 club length, pubescent distally, lateral areas not pubescent. Anterior margin of pronotum bluntly rounded, subtruncate, asperities on its leading edge notably larger than those on the rest of the anterior slope. Summit slightly anterior to middle, asperities short, flattened, with about 3 their thickness, becoming shorter towards summit. Pronotal disc shining; punctures shallow, small, widely spaced. Erect setae on disc, spaced by about their length. Elytral disc shining, smooth. Striae not impressed, punctures shallow, with short recumbent setae. Interstriae about 2 width of striae with mostly uniseriate erect setae, their length slightly longer than interstrial width. Interstriae becoming weakly granulate near base of declivity. Declivity steep occupying 25% of declivital length in lateral view; steep, with face sulcate from the base to the apex. A rounded posterolateral marginal elevation is present on the declivity from apex to near the base. Declivity narrowly concave in center of declivity between interstria 3, narrowed posteriorly. Strial punctures present on declivital face, surface dull. Three acute denticles are present on rounded declivital margin, one near base on interstria 3 and a pair of closely spaced denticles closer to elytral apex. Male. Unknown. Type Material.

Seabed foraging by Antarctic krill: Implications for stock assessment, bentho-pelagic coupling, and the vertical transfer of iron
No full textA compilation of more than 30 studies shows that adult Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) may frequent benthic habitats year-round, in shelf as well as oceanic waters and throughout their circumpolar range. Net and acoustic data from the Scotia Sea show that in summer 2-20% of the population reside at depths between 200 and 2000 m, and that large aggregations can form above the seabed. Local differences in the vertical distribution of krill indicate that reduced feeding success in surface waters, either due to predator encounter or food shortage, might initiate such deep migrations and results in benthic feeding. Fatty acid and microscopic analyses of stomach content confirm two different foraging habitats for Antarctic krill: the upper ocean, where fresh phytoplankton is the main food source, and deeper water or the seabed, where detritus and copepods are consumed. Krill caught in upper waters retain signals of benthic feeding, suggesting frequent and dynamic exchange between surface and seabed. Krill contained up to 260 nmol iron per stomach when returning from seabed feeding. About 5% of this iron is labile, i.e., potentially available to phytoplankton. Due to their large biomass, frequent benthic feeding, and acidic digestion of particulate iron, krill might facilitate an input of new iron to Southern Ocean surface waters. Deep migrations and foraging at the seabed are significant parts of krill ecology, and the vertical fluxes involved in this behavior are important for the coupling of benthic and pelagic food webs and their elemental repositories
Early English and French Lyrical Poetry: A Comparative Study
No full textSelf-revelation is the chief characteristic of lyric poetry,and for that reason it is, perhaps, more interesting than any other. A flashlight of intuition fuses emotion and idea and from the resulting union,secret and elusive,springs the lyric mood. Add to this latter a gift of expression, spontaneous, impassioned, and rhythmical, and the lyric is born, stamped with the individuality of the author,and bearing also a racial likeness to others of the same nation. For though personality may differ with individuality, though Shakespeare may evoke melodies very unlike those of Swinburne, and Chaucer's music may in no way resemble that of Wordsworth, yet through all there runs one note, one undertone, discernible by a sympathetic ear.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
