Dear Alma Mater:-
Received your very welcomed letter at our last port, far, far from dear ‘ol’ Providence as you no doubt can see by the new address. Thanks. Also for the Christmas and Easter packages which no doubt are following, me and will catch up sometime.
Since my last letter to you I have been advanced to Warrant Officer in the Supply Corps, namely Pay Clerk and have been on sea duty for quite a few months.
Thanks for the news about all the boys- sure do appreciate receiving it. Keep up the good work.
SincerelyLincoln C. Bateson

Dear Friends:
I have received your letter of May 30th and gratefully acknowledge it.
I also gratefully acknowledge the package which you sent me for Christmas. Somehow or other it got delayed, through no fault of yours as the address was correct. It was just one of those unexplainable foulings that we run into now-a-days. Outside of one or two pieces being squashed, they were in first class order and quite a few of the other boys enjoyed them as well as myself. Thanks again.
Since entering the service in January 1941, I cannot say that I have seen any action as I have been always stationed in New England. From January to October, 1941, while in the Army, I was stationed at Camp Devens, Fort Adams, and Camp Edwards. Then a short civilian respite between the enactment of the “over 28 Act affecting Selective Service” and the Declaration of War; after which I joined the Navy, being a member of both the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps and the U. S. Navy for thirteen days due to overlapping joining the Navy in January 1942, I have fought the Battle of Boston Harbor for eighteen months, serving at the Charlestown Navy Yard and at present at the U. S. S. Fargo (9 decks and a cement bottom at 495 Summer Street). I have received notice of transfer twice but each time it has been cancelled.
Enlisting as a Storekeeper 3rd Class, I have progressed through 2nd Class and am now Storekeeper 1st Class. Having been recommended for Lieutenant (j. g.) but which Washington turned down for some unknown reason.
Last February I married a young lady (Miss Barbara Kelley of North Quincy) whom I met in Boston since entering the Navy so that my service on shore has not been without its advantages.
I will close by saying I have hopes of not being a dry land sailor through all of this, as I would like to see some sea duty.
Thanks again for everything and please keep me posted.
Sincerely yours, Lincoln C. Bateson

Dear Friends:--
Just a line to say hello and to thank you for your much appreciated box and letter which I received just before getting under way from our last port.
It is nice to know that we of Bryant are not forgotten even tho\u27 many thousands of miles away from home--especially during the holidays when we would be enjoying ourselves so much, otherwise.
The candy was in very good condition, which is more than I can say for many of the packages that have arrived. To date we have only received about 10% of our Christmas mail--when we will get it, no one knows. I believe that it is in Leyte.
Since writing you my last letter we have been on our fourth major invasion in the Pacific--that being Luzon in the Philippines by way of Lingayen Gulf. A reception committee came out to greet us one day from our destination but they didn\u27t deter us from our goal. With the ever present protection of the good Lord above we returned unscathed--both as to ship and personnel.
I like your news letter very much--keep sending it.
Again thanks--and regards to all--

Agricultural science, plant breeding and the emergence of a Mendelian system in Britain, 1880-1930
No full textFollowing Thomas P. Hughes’s systems approach in the history of technology, and making use of previously unexamined sources, this dissertation seeks to show that
the development of British Mendelism may be explained, and the success it enjoyed more accurately gauged, by analysing the emergence of a system whose elements justified the theory, protected it, made it useful, and slowly territorialized the world. Accordingly, the analysis will cover the principle elements of this system: the system builders, institutes, ideas and varieties that were, in one way or another, Mendelian. The first of the Mendelian system builders, William Bateson, is already well known for his introduction of Mendelism to Britain in the years after 1901 and his coinage of a new name for the discipline; Genetics. He was joined by two colleagues, Rowland Biffen and Thomas Wood, both of whom collaborated with Bateson in creating a string of institutes concerned with changing agriculture by using the new Mendelian theory. The proponents of the new theory often talked of their new found ability to transfer characters and build up new varieties of agricultural value. These claims were welcomed by politicians and the popular press and the idea that the new genetics would lead to a beneficial revolution in
agriculture became a popular cause of the day. However, the release of the first of these new Mendelian varieties in 1910 in Britain is far less well known than the
almost simultaneous development of the chromosome theory at Columbia University by Thomas Hunt Morgan. On one view of the history of genetics, the discipline, which had been born in Moravia, and popularised in Britain, was from
1910 most fruitfully developed in Morgan’s fly room. From this perspective it might be thought that the British School, under Bateson, became a disciplinary backwater,
at least in part because Bateson refused to accept chromosome theory. This thesis argues that far from being in a genetic backwater, Bateson along with Mendelian
allies Biffen and Wood were at the cutting edge of a wide ranging movement to improve agriculture through the introduction of new Mendelian varieties

Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
