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

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.

Tilting at Windmills : BLDSC and the UK Higher Education Community
No full textPurpose - To provide an overview of, the relationship between the British Library and higher education libraries in the 1990s, with particular relation to document supply. It also goes on to explore current developments in scholarly communication. Design/methodology/approach - The author played a role in several of the events described and uses the available literature to enlarge on a personal view of that decade. Findings - The paper shows that the relationship was a strained one caused in part by a mismatch of resources, but is in any case dwarfed by the larger external forces and changing opportunities and technologies for scholarly communication. Originality/value - Provides a record of the period

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. Holotype, female, Brazil: Amapá, Tartarugalzinho, Comunidade Entre Rios— Projeto de Assentamento Cedro, Retiro Paraíba, 17′32″ N, 5118′34″ W, 22–VIII–2015, FIT with ethanol, Amazonian terra firme forest fragment, W.R. Silva (MEFEIS). Distribution. Lower Amazonian region (Fig. 12F). Etymology. This species is named in honor of Jos Luiz da Silva Maia, head of the Division of Forest Protection and Environment of the forest company Duraflora in Agudos, state of São Paulo, where he worked for many years. He worked collaboratively with the second author in Scolytinae research projects over many years.Published as part of Atkinson, Thomas H., Flechtmann, Carlos A.
