No full textIn this interview, dated July 5, 1973, David Roberts speaks to Josephine H. Dibble Murphy, who grew up in Camden, SC during the early 20th century. In her interview, Josephine Murphy speaks about her personal experiences involving racism, W.E.B.

Mrs. Dibble\u27s Coach
No full textA 1936 exhibition of Mrs. Florence Evans Dibble\u27s red and cream-colored Valiant coach-and-four at the Old Orchard Beach Kite Track in Maine. Mrs. Dibble\u27s team set a new coaching record on May 12, 1936, for a 118 mile run from New York to Atlantic City.
The team, driven mostly by Mrs Dibble during the journey, finished in a time of 10 hours, 4 minutes and 22 seconds, according to a report in the May 13, 1936 issue of the Lewiston Evening Journal. The recorded time was actual driving time, only, not inclusive of stops to change the teams. The Valiant coach was originally built in France for William Tiffany.
According to the April 17, 1936 issue of The Milwaukee Journal, Dibble\u27s four-team hitch was made up of large trotting horses more suited to coaching than the half hackney type.
Dibble used 13 Standardbred horses in the race, changing the team of four out approximately every 20 miles. The winded team was then placed in a van and transported further ahead on the route.
The four lead horses (shown here) set the highest average time of 16.02 miles per hour included Arthur Mower, Calumet Dapper (leaders); Capitol Stock and John R. McElwyn (wheelers), all of whom also had records competing in harness races in Maine. Reports in The New York Times placed the value of the horses at $50,000.
The trainer/driver for the trip was Walter Gibbons who mapped and conducted the trip. Dr. William H. Ivens served as the veterinarian overseeing the horses.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/kendall_images/2657/thumbnail.jp

No full textA Synthesis of the Dibble et al. Controlled Experiments into the Mechanics of Lithic Production
No full textArchaeologists have explored a wide range of topics regarding archaeological stone tools and their connection to past human lifeways through experimentation. Controlled experimentation systematically quantifies the empirical relationships among different flaking variables under a controlled and reproducible setting. This approach offers a platform to generate and test hypotheses about the technological decisions of past knappers from the perspective of basic flaking mechanics. Over the past decade, Harold Dibble and colleagues conducted a set of controlled flaking experiments to better understand flake variability using mechanical flaking apparatuses and standardized cores. Results of their studies underscore the dominant impact of exterior platform angle and platform depth on flake size and shape and have led to the synthesis of a flake formation model, namely the EPA-PD model. However, the results also illustrate the complexity of the flake formation process through the influence of other parameters such as core surface morphology and force application. Here we review the work of Dibble and colleagues on controlled flaking experiments by summarizing their findings to date. Our goal is to synthesize what was learned about flake variability from these controlled experiments to better understand the flake formation process. With this paper, we are including all of the data produced by these prior experiments and an explanation of the data in the Supplementary Information

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

No full textA document from an extensive collection spanning four generations of the Woodward family that operated merchant pig iron companies in West Virginia and Alabama. The collection begins with Stimpson Harvey Woodward (S. H. Woodward), a native of Massachusetts, who moved from Pittsburgh to Wheeling, West Virginia in 1852. He had interests in an iron company as early as 1852 in West Virginia and began Alabama operations in 1869. The family business continued in Alabama until the death of S. H. Woodward's great-grandson in 1965. (Published By V. R. Dibble
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
