Letter from David Jordan to James B. Finley
Get PDFDavid Jordan, steward at the Greene Street Methodist Episcopal Church, is very unhappy about the treatment he has received at the hands of Finley, now serving as Presiding Elder of the Dayton District. Finley has accused Jordan of orchestrating a reduction in his salary over the issue of abolitionism. Jordan reminds Finley that the preacher in charge at the time, Solomon Howard, has stated unequivocally that Jordan was not responsible. Jordan hopes this difficulty can be remedied soon.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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

While giving a taste of many musical styles contained within their respective Carnatic (South Indian) and Sephardic (Judeo-Spanish) art forms, Nirmala and David will take their audience on a journey through the centuries across the landscapes of South India, Turkey, Morocco, Bosnia, and Spain.
Nirmala Rajasekar has been featured in many world-renowned venues, including New York’s Carnegie Hall, United Nations, Symphony Space; the Music Academy in Chennai, India; the Rumi International Festival in Konya, Turkey; and Musee Rietburg in Zurich, Switzerland.

Nirmala has performed in numerous collaborative settings with musicians from many backgrounds, including Western classical, Chinese, Indonesian gamelan, and jazz. She is the artistic director of the Naadha Rasa Center of Music based in Plymouth, where she teaches the art of Carnatic music.
