An interview with Terry Reese
No full textIn July 2005, Bonnie Parks spoke with Terry Reese, digital production unit head at Oregon State University’s Valley Library. In this interview, Reese shares his views on topics ranging from electronic journal management, the role of the catalog, to the impact Google scholar might have on the way libraries provide access to information.
Reese is the author of several freely-downloadable software applications including the EBSCO Records Wizard (ERW) and the often cited MARCEdit. He has written hundreds of utilities and tools, many of which are used in libraries around the globe. Still considered a relative newcomer to the profession, Reese was named one of Library Journal’s 2005 “movers and shakers.”1 In his spare time Reese enjoys spending time with his family, riding his bicycle and writing code.To be published in Serials Review 31/4 (2005).KEYWORDS: Terry Reese, Serials, Electronic journal managemen
Taxonomic results of the Bryotrop expedition to Zaire and Rwanda : 18., Calymperaceae
No full textThe first species list of the examined countries was published by Demaret (1940,1946) and the revision of the Syrrhopodon species of this area were made by Demaret and Leroy (1947). Further additional data were published on the basis of the collection of S. Lisowski (Orbán 1987). The tropical African species of the genera were revised by the Author (Orbán 1981) and later the key for the species was prepared by Orbán and Reese (1986). This key is suitable to identify practically all tropical African taxa, therefore I do not supply a key here for the 7 species collected in Central Africa. The world ranges of Syrrhopodon species was given by Reese (1987)

The Short Story in Midcentury America:Countercultural Form in the Work of Bowles, McCarthy, Welty and Williams
No full textThe Short Story in Midcentury America provides in-depth case studies of four major writers of the post-World War II era-Paul Bowles, Mary McCarthy, Eudora Welty, and Tennessee Williams-examining how they used the contained aesthetics of short fiction to map out an oppositional stance to the dominant narratives, both political and literary, of mid-twentieth century U.S. culture.Sam V. H. Reese presents a new understanding of the connections between politics, ideology, and literary form, arguing that writers employed the short story to critique the cultural mores of the early Cold War. The four authors under discussion found themselves socially marginalized by mainstream U.S. culture due to such factors as their gender, sexual orientation, religion, and foreign residence. Reese shows that each author embraced the short story's compressed form as a means of resisting political coercion and conformity, speaking out in support of freedom and open expression.Reese argues that these four writers used the formal restrictions of the short story to develop a type of fiction that became recognizably countercultural, challenging the expansive, sprawling novels then receiving acclaim from critics. His analysis underscores the means by which each author's short stories utilized the aesthetic practices of mediums outside conventional narrative fiction: Bowles's career as a composer, McCarthy's criticism and memoirs, Williams's playwriting, and Welty's photography. By studying both their prose and its conceptualization, Reese reveals how writers resisted the political and stylistic pressures that defined U.S. literary culture in the early years of the Cold War.In The Short Story in Midcentury America, Reese establishes a new framework for considering countercultural literature in the United States, reassessing the critical standing of the short story and re-evaluating the relationship between marginal social positions and literary form during the mid-twentieth century

Buffon's Needle: An Analysis and Simulation
No full textCreated by George Reese of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, this resource gives some background on the Buffon's needle problem. The site provides a link to an applet that allows one to simulate dropping a needle once, ten times, one-hundred times, or one-thousand times. One also has control over the length of the needle. Aside from the applet, the author provides an introduction, the simplest case, other cases, a brief series of questions and references. This is a nice case study of one statistical problem
