    This photograph shows Springfield College's Berry-Allen Baseball Field.The field was named after two previous baseball coaches Archie P. Allen and Elmer Berry. Berry coached during the 1915-1917, 1919-1923, and 1925-1926 seasons. During his ten seasons of coaching, he had 79 victories and 62 losses. The field was originally named Berry Field and was dedicated on May 24, 1939. It eventually became known as the Berry-Allen field in recognition of Archie Allen, who coached from 1948-1972. After his 31 seasons, Allen had a total of 454 wins and 257 losses

    Polarization singularities in isotropic random vector waves

    No full text
    Following Nye & Hajnal, we explore the geometry of complex vector waves by regarding them as a field of polarization ellipses. Singularities of this field are the C lines and L lines, where the polarization is purely circular and purely linear, respectively. The singularities can be reinterpreted as loci of photon spin 1 (C lines) and 0 (L lines). For Gaussian random superpositions of plane waves equidistributed in direction but with an arbitrary frequency spectrum, we calculate the density (length per unit volume) of C and L lines

    Psychologische Sicherheit bei Berry - Eine Analyse und Konzeptualisierung zur Verbesserung und Sicherstellung der psychologischen Sicherheit bei Berry

    No full text
    Die psychologische Sicherheit stellt ein zentraler Erfolgsfaktor für Teamarbeit dar. Psychologisch sichere Teams haben eine gemeinsame Überzeugung auf das Arbeitsklima. Die Mitarbeitenden können sich selbst sein, ohne das Risiko einer Bewertung oder Geringschätzung anderer zu fürchten. Mit einem vorab geführten Expert:inneninteview mit einer internen Person bei Berry und einer anschliessenden quantitativen Datenerhebung mit allen Mitarbeitenden wurde die psychologische Sicherheit bei Berry untersucht. Es wurde eine IST-Analyse vorgenommen, fördernde sowie hemmende Faktoren der psychologischen Sicherheit wie auch Verbesserungsvorschläge erfragt. Die Auswertung zeigt ein breites Bild an fördernden und hemmenden Faktoren sowie Verbesserungspotenziale, wobei die aktuelle psychologische Sicherheit bei Berry positiv bewertet wird. Aus der Analyse wurden folgende Verbesserungswünsche abgeleitet: Leben von New Work, Stärkere Führung, bessere Kommunikation, mehr Austausch und Wir-Gefühl im Team sowie mehr Unterstützung und eine klare Arbeitsverteilung

    Conversations with Wendell Berry

    No full text
    Since 1960, Wendell Berry (b. 1934) has produced one of the most substantial and consistently thematic bodies of work of any modern American writer. In more than fifty books in various genres-novels, short stories, poems, and essays-he has celebrated a life lived in close communion with neighbors and the earth and has addressed many of our most urgent cultural maladies. His collections of essays urge us to think and act responsibly as members of a community-both human and natural. Volumes of his poems seek to wed us to nature and realign our vision with its mysteries. His growing Port William cycle of novels offers us a fictional model for understanding, for compassion, and for living in constant regard for others. Conversations with Wendell Berry gathers for the first time interviews with the writer, ranging from 1973 to 2006, including one never before published. For readers acquainted with Berry\u27s work, this volume offers insights available nowhere else. It reveals succinctly the main currents of his life\u27s work. What emerges is a citizen-writer profoundly affected by cultural crises at home and in the world.https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/dlpp_all/1334/thumbnail.jp

    Evaluating CO2 and sound as an invasive bigheaded carp deterrent in a model lock and dam

    No full text
    An experimental dataset was collected to evaluate the effectiveness of using CO2 and sound to restrict the upstream passage of invasive bigheaded carp in a model lock and dam system. This dataset includes observation day data, sound trial data, conditioning data, sound map data, velocity data, fish tracking map data, and habituation data.Several deterrents are currently being investigated to block the upstream migration of invasive silver (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (H. nobilis). Broadband sound (100 hp outboard boat motor recording) and dissolved CO2 both show potential for restricting the upstream movement of invasive bigheaded carp through contained environments such as lock chambers. This study examined the effect of combining both broadband sound and CO2 into a multimodal deterrent to restrict upstream passage via the lock chamber in a 10,000 L flow through model lock and dam system. Bigheaded carp schools were classically conditioned to associate broadband sound with elevated levels of CO2 in the lock chamber. After conditioning, broadband sound alone was 100% effective in restricting the upstream passage of bigheaded carp under standard lock chamber operations, and bigheaded carp were deterred from entering and transiting the lock chamber for 28 consecutive trials over a one-week period. These results could help inform field deployments of non-physical deterrents within lock chambers for restricting the upstream movement of invasive bigheaded carp.Funding for this research was provided by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF) as recommended by the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center (MAISRC) and the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR); and the State of Minnesota.Frett, Michael W; Mensinger, Allen F; Berry, Amelia L; Kozarek, Jessica L.
