The student's guide to completing an author study
No full textThe 'Student's guide to completing an author study' emerged during the early development of the school library resource center program at Glen Stewart Elementary School in Stratford Canada on Prince Edward Island. This research process centered on an author study, with direct teaching and clear assignment. The resulting model has been adapted to various grade levels and subject areas in different schools.Source type: Electronic(1)http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=49237063&Fmt=7&clientId=65345&RQT=309&VName=PQ

Real-space Manifestations of Bottlenecks in Turbulence Spectra
No full textAn energy-spectrum bottleneck, a bump in the turbulence spectrum between the inertial and dissipation ranges, is shown to occur in the non-turbulent, one-dimensional, hyperviscous Burgers equation and found to be the Fourier-space signature of oscillations in the real-space velocity, which are explained by boundary-layer-expansion techniques. Pseudospectral simulations are used to show that such oscillations occur in velocity correlation functions in one- and three-dimensional hyperviscous hydrodynamical equations that display genuine turbulence
School library resource center policies in Canada: re-viewing a shared vision
No full textReports on a follow-up to an earlier 1992 study on school library policies in the provinces and territories of Canada. Examines current issues that are affecting the realization of a shared vision for school libraries in Canada. Contends that new curriculum policies have incorporated resource-based learning information skills and information technology skills, but these documents only rarely acknowledge the role of teacher-librarians. Concludes by stating that these changes in curriculum policy development need to be taken into account by school library advocates in developing a new vision for school libraries in Canada.M3: Article; Accession Number: ISTA3303756; Doiron, Ray; Source Info: January 1998, Vol. 4 Issue 1, p1; Note: Update Code: 3306; Subject Term: INSTRUCTIONAL materials centers; Subject Term: CANADA; Author-Supplied Keyword: Policies; Author-Supplied Keyword: Resource centers; Number of Pages: 14p.

Bending dynamics of semi-flexible particles in turbulent flows
No full textWe study the Lagrangian dynamics of semi-flexible particles in laminar as well as in homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flows by means of analytically solvable stochastic models and direct numerical simulations. The statistics of the bending angle is qualitatively different in laminar and turbulent flows and exhibits a strong dependence on the topology of the velocity field. In particular, in two-dimensional turbulence, particles are either found in a fully extended or in a fully folded configuration; in three dimensions, the predominant configuration is the fully extended one
Letter from [author unknown] to John Muir, 1895 Dec 23.
No full textSomers, Dec. 23rd. 1895.Mr. John Muir,Your book “The Mountains of California” has given such pleasure to one reader that she wishes to express gratitude to the author. My trip was a limited one and taken many years ago, but so far as ray experience went, your book confirms and revives my impressions. It was read with keen enjoyment and sympathy and many another will follow its pages with the same zest. The lines were not inspired by the book, but perhaps they will be in touch with it. My name has no significance and so it is not signed, but perhaps it will gratify you to know that your descriptions have brought some of the glories you have seen to an obscure person in an obscure village.Merced.Merced, Merced, thy crystal waveO\u27er granite sands doth flow, Whereon the vagrant sunbeams weaveA net of gold below.Thy banks are daintily besetWith ferns and grasses fine And beds of snowy violetThe tangled roots entwine.The stately rocks (E1 CapitanCathedral, Brothers Three) Within thy bosom hold divanIn tranquil majesty.Unaltered \u27neath the flowing tideThose sharp reflections dwell; E\u27en so while busy lustrums glideEndures thy beauty\u27s spell.[Envelope containing letter inscribed, in Muir\u27s handwriting, “Miss No Name, Somers, Cal.”]02054https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/jmcl/25216/thumbnail.jp
Rapid growth of Coalescing Droplets and Observation of Fine Structures in Turbulent Flow
No full textI will present our results on size-growth dynamics of coalescing droplets in simulation of isotropic turbulent flow. In the short time limit, we observe very fast growth due to correlations of these droplets which can be related to the interaction between their inertia to turbulent advection (this work is done with colleagues at affiliations 1 \& 2). In a later part, I will describe our attempt to experimentally observe the intermittent fine structures of turbulence flow using high resolution Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique (this work is done with colleagues at affiliation 3)

Observations of the 57Fe+23 hyperfine transition in clusters of galaxies
No full textWe present a search for the hyperfine transition of the 57Fe+23 ion at 3.071 mm in clusters of galaxies with the ATNF Mopra telescope. The results are compared with a realistic estimate of the peak brightness temperature of the line in a cooling flow cluster A85, using the available X-ray data

[Ray R. Best had close call with detention camp mob], biographical news article on Tule Lake Camp Director Raymond Best
No full textBiographical newspaper article about Tule Lake Camp Director Raymond R. Best and his role during the November 1943 protests at the camp, lead to martial law. Describes how his life was in danger during the protests and his diplomatic work after the camp closed.The Willard Schmidt collection, documents some of the administrative duties of Willard Schmidt, the Chief of Internal Security for the War Relocation Authority and the Tule Lake incarceration/segregation camp. This collection contains administrative records and photos documenting the Tule Lake camp, the largest incarceration camp with a peak population of 18,789 and with the most turbulent history. In 1943, the camp was turned into a segregation center to house "disloyal" Japanese Americans relocated from other camps based on their answers to a confusing loyalty questionnaire. The camp endured martial law from November 1943- Jan 1944 after escalating protests and unrest. The hostile environment of the camp lead to many incarcerees renouncing their American citizenship upon the end of incarceration, a process which took 14 years to reverse if they did not wish to be deported to Japan
