Sonic Layer Depth estimated from XBT temperatures and climatological salinities
No full textSonic layer depth (SLD) plays an important role in antisubmarine warfare in terms of identifying the shadow zones for submarine safe parking. SLD is estimated from sound velocity profiles (SVP) which is in turn obtained from temperature and salinity (T/S) profiles. Given the limited availability of salinity data in comparison to temperature, SVPs need to be obtained from alternate methods. In the present work, to make use of voluminous temperature data sets from XBT, CTD and other source for estimating SLD, we propose a method of utilizing XBT measurements and World Ocean Atlas climatological salinities to compute SVP and then extract SLD. This approach is demonstrated by utilizing T/S data from Argo floats in the Arabian Sea (40° – 80° E and 0 – 30° N). SLD is estimated from SVP obtained from Argo T/S profiles first and again by replacing the Argo salinity with climatological salinity. It is found that in more than 90% of cases, SLD matched exactly, with the root mean square deviation ranging from 3 – 12 m with an average of 7 m
Identification of the Kna/Knb polymorphism and a method for Knops genotyping
No full textDNA mutations resulting in the McCoy and Swain-Langley polymorphisms have been identified on complement receptor 1 (CR1)-a ligand for rosetting of Plasmodium falciparum-infected RBCs. The molecular identification of the Kna/Knb polymorphism was sought to develop a genotyping method for use in the study of the Knops blood group and malaria

Map of Swain County, N.C. region
No full textThis topographic map, produced by the United States Geological Survey, includes much of Swain County, North Carolina. The map was collected by Horace Kephart (1862-1931), noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author, and it is likely that the notations on the back of the map are his. After moving to western North Carolina in 1904, Kephart became fascinated by the Appalachian landscape and culture and collected clippings, photographs, and maps of the region throughout his life
Seasonal and inter-annual variability of sea surface temperature in the North Indian ocean and associated climate change signatures
No full textJames L Crews, Jr
No full textMounted portrait of James L. Crews, Jr., a 5th generation Floridian. He is the author of the poem The Romantic Life of the Florida Cowhunter. His Great, great grandfather was Joel Swain, whose name is the first name in Manatee County's first Marks and Brands official record book in 1879. This photo and the poem are found in Joe G. Warner's book, Biscuits and 'Taters: a history of cattle ranching in Manatee County
Library Special Collections: Papers of Margaret Swain
No full textMargaret Helen Swain (1909-2002) was a historian of embroidery and textiles. The author of several books and numerous articles, she also lectured widely, and her papers reflect these activities. Her early publications were on Ayrshire needlework but she became an expert on embroidery in general and Scottish work in particular. Her books included Historical Needlework (1970), The Needlework of Mary, Queen of Scots (1973) and Scottish Embroidery (1986). Her advice was frequently sought by curators and collectors and she became a consultant to the National Museum of Scotland and the National Trust for Scotland. She was asked to help to improve the displays in the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which led to the publication in 1988 of her catalogue of the tapestries and textiles there
The Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into Human Nature
No full textThis book surprises me. It is slightly smaller in size than Bennett's original publication by W. Kent in 1857. The surprise to me is that the illustrations, apparently the same size as in the original, are colored. Are they hand-colored by the publisher? To me they seem so. They show quite different coloring patterns from those in my original copy. There are a number of striped and polka-dotted pieces of clothing here! The least like a hand-colored illustration is the title-page, but its coloring scheme here is quite different from the one in my original edition. The cover here is green cloth with the frontispiece -- a man is being tried before a frightening lion judge -- stamped into the front board. The title-page differs here by dropping Author of 'Shadows under Bennett's name. Pagination is by the number of the individual fable among the 22. No page, whether of text or illustration, is imprinted on both sides. The paper stock is very heavy. The s is no longer shaped like an f, as it was in the original. Lovely stuff!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Charles H. Bennett
Microfinance and Women's empowerment : evidence from the self help group bank linkage programme in India
No full textThis publication is an extract from research work within microfinance at the Department of Economics at Uppsala University done by the author Ranjula Bali Swain. The purpose of the paper is to capture the relationship between microfinance and Millennium Development Goal number three, which concerns gender equality and women empowerment. The research is based on the Self Help Group Bank Linkage Programme in India and has revealed that the clients are in fact in the process of empowering themselves. The results show however that a greater emphasis needs to be placed on business training and awareness programmes. Therefore a minimalist approach to microfinance might not have the same outcome.</p
