Local Author Book Talk: W Dennis Keating--Cleveland and the Civil War
No full textAlthough removed from the frontlines, Cleveland played an active role in national events before, during and after the Civil War. Author W. Dennis Keating, member and past president of the Cleveland Civil War Roundtable, and CSU Emeritus Professor, creates a panoramic view of the city through one of the nation’s most troubled times.

It turns out that Annabelle is a character that Lucy Keating created. And Lucy has a plan for her. But, Annabelle doesn't want to live a life where everything she does is already plotted out. Will she find a way to write her own story -- or will Lucy Keating have the last word
Combined Geophysical Measurements Provide Evidence for Unfrozen Water in Permafrost in the Adventdalen Valley in Svalbard
No full textQuantifying the unfrozen water content of permafrost is critical for assessing impacts of surface warming on the reactivation of groundwater flow and release of greenhouse gasses from degrading permafrost. Unfrozen water content was determined along an ~12-km transect in the Adventdalen valley in Svalbard, an area with continuous permafrost, using surface nuclear magnetic resonance and controlled source audio-magnetotelluric data. This combination of measurements allowed for differentiation of saline from fresh pore water, and frozen from unfrozen pore water. Above the limit of Holocene marine transgression, no unfrozen water was detected, associated with high electrical resistivity. Below the marine limit, within several kilometers of the coast, up to ~10% unfrozen water content was detected, associated with low resistivity values indicating saline pore water. These results provide evidence for unfrozen water within continuous, thick permafrost in coastal settings, which has implications for groundwater flow and greenhouse gas release in similar Arctic environments.Peer reviewe
The Anthropology of Thomas Keating
No full textDzisiejszy człowiek, zanurzony w materialistycznym świecie, oddalił się od Boga i świata duchowego. Thomas Keating starał się przywrócić tę sferę, propagując formę modlitwy ciszy Centering Prayer. W swoich dziełach opisuje, jak ta modlitwa wpływa na całościowy rozwój człowieka. Autorka niniejszego opracowania próbuje odtworzyć wizję człowieka, jaką Keating zawarł w swoich pracach w nadziei, że przyczyni się to do powstania lepszego modelu antropologii.The materialism of today’s world is causing people to lose contact with God and with their own spirituality. Thomas Keating tried to bring this part of the human experience back by promoting a form of meditative prayer called Centering Prayer. In his books he describes how this prayer influences integral human development. The author tries to discover Keating’s vision of the human person, in hope of assisting in the creation of a better anthropological model

Parametrization of an anharmonic Kirkwood–Keating potential for AlxGa1?xAs alloys
No full textWe introduce a simple semiempirical anharmonic Kirkwood–Keating potential to model AxB1?xC-type semiconductors. The potential consists of the Morse strain energy and Coulomb interaction terms. The optical constants of pure components, AB and BC, were employed to fit the potential parameters such as bond-stretching and -bending force constants, dimensionless anharmonicity parameter, and charges. We applied the potential to finite temperature molecular-dynamics simulations on AlxGa1?xAs for which there is no lattice mismatch. The results were compared with experimental data and those of harmonic Kirkwood–Keating model and of equation-of-motion molecular-dynamics technique. Since the Morse strain potential effectively describes finite temperature damping, we have been able to numerically reproduce experimentally obtained optical properties such as dielectric functions and reflectance. This potential model can be readily generalized for strained alloys.DelftChemTechApplied Science
A rheological description of the water vapour sorption kinetics behaviour of wood invoking a model using a canonical assembly of Kelvin-Voigt elements and a possible link with sorption hysteresis
No full textAbstract
The dynamic vapour sorption behaviour of two Malaysian hardwoods, acacia (Acacia mangium Wild) and sesendok (Endospermum malaccense Bent ex Müll. Arg.) was studied over a narrow temperature range (20–40°C). The rate of sorption or desorption of water into or out of the wood cell wall was considered to be limited by the viscoelastic behaviour of the material and the sorption kinetics was accordingly analysed in terms of a canonical series of Kelvin-Voigt elements. A two series and three series model have been applied to the kinetic data and the results are compared. Characteristic times and moisture contents were obtained from the models. The Arrhenius equation was used in conjunction with the reciprocals of the characteristic times to calculate the activation energy and activation entropy of sorption, and the Gibbs free energy of activation for the sorption process was also determined. This is the first time that entropy of activation and Gibbs free energy of activation for sorption processes with wood have been reported. Interpretation of these data invokes a model describing the polymeric relaxation processes occurring within the cell wall during adsorption or desorption. A possible link between sorption kinetics, polymeric relaxation processes, and sorption hysteresis is discussed.</jats:p
Judge Schermer’s Top Ten Topics to Teach
No full textThis Article reviews the top topics under Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization Judge Schermer teaches to his law school students. Keating, a co-teacher of Judge Schermer’s for almost 30 years, compiled these topics from years of lecture notes, meetings, and observations of matters that excited Judge Schermer. The Author concludes that such topics under Chapter 11, including refusals to deal and the automatic stay, only cover a small fraction of Judge Schermer’s enthusiasm for teaching and bankruptcy law, with additional lists possibly needed to include other areas of his interest, such as consumer bankruptcy

A Public Trust or the Common Good: Medical Professionalism and Medical Education in Nineteenth- and Twentieth Century Maine
No full textDuring the time that the Medical School of Maine was educating men and women from Maine and other New England states, the profession of medicine and American society in general were undergoing a period of sweeping change. Advancement in medical knowledge, in the midst of an industrial revolution, created opportunities for, as well as expectations of, the profession, which formed the basis for the modern practice of medicine and the contemporary concept of professionalism in medicine. This paper chronicles the 100-year period of medical education by the Medical School of Maine, the ultimate demise of the institution, and the legacy that it created for the profession of medicine in the State of Maine. Dr. Thomas Keating is a Maine native and a graduate of Bowdoin College. He attended Tufts University School of Medicine and, since 1988, has practiced medical oncology and palliative medicine at New England Cancer Specialists in Brunswick. He has received master’s degrees in health policy and management and in bioethics. Dr. Keating lives with his wife in Brunswick, has a son and daughter, and enjoys running and baking bread. The author would like to extend special thanks to the George Mitchell Department of Special Collections and Archives at Bowdoin College and the Archives of the Medical Library of Maine Medical Center
