Wave statistics from hurricane Dora at Panama City, Florida
No full textOver the past two or three years, Texas A &: M University has been operating facilities offshore of Panama City, Florida, to observe and collect environmental oceanographic data in the Gulf of Mexico. Waves are measured using Hytech resistance type wave staffs. The data is recorded more or less continuously in digital form on magnetic tape. The recording stations are located approximately 150 yards, 1. 7 nautical miles and 11 nautical miles offshore in water depths of about 8, 60 and 100 feet, respectively. NESCO, in the course of a current research project on the modification of wave spectra on the continental shelf, has been utilizing this wave data system. A series of computer programs has been developed to analyze the wave data. Results of probability densities and spectral analyses of simultaneous station data obtained during Hurricane Dora are presented. Comparison of directly measured statistics and spectral statistics are made

Dora Gordine and Barbara Hepworth : connections across time and space
No full textThe figurative bronze sculpture of Dora Gordine (1895–1991) and Barbara Hepworth’s (1903-1975) carved or cast forms are usually perceived as occupying different spaces within the rich histories of modern British sculpture. Yet, it is striking that Gordine and Hepworth were born within just eight years of each other. Their work became known at the same time in late 1920’s Britain, and they subsequently exhibited together in various pre and post-war group exhibitions. This essay critically reflects on the importance of their studio-homes to their practice, on the moments where their trajectories as sculptors intersected, and identifies the artistic and aesthetic concerns they shared as successful women artists in the highly competitive and often polarised spaces of modern sculpture in Britain from the late 1920s to the early 1950s

'A date with Barbara': paracosms of the self in biographies of Barbara Newhall Follett
No full textIn 1927, 13-year-old Barbara Newhall Follett published her first book, the critically acclaimed novel, The House Without Windows and Eepersip's Life There.
Twelve years later, on December 7, 1939, 25-year-old Barbara quarrelled with her husband and left her apartment in Boston with $30 in her pocket, and a notebook. She was never seen again.
The House Without Windows is set in a paracosm (Farksolia) she invented, and ends with the metamorphosis of the titular character into a 'fairy-a wood nymph … invisible for ever to all mortals, save those few who have minds to believe, eyes to see'.
In Barbara's (auto)biography, The Unconscious Autobiography of a Child Genius (1966), written by Harold Grier McCurdy 'in collaboration with Helen Follett' (Barbara's mother), the authors wonder: 'Can we be far wrong in substituting Barbara's name for Eepersip's in the closing scenes of [House Without Windows]?
In this paper, I grapple with the formal and ethical challenges of writing about Barbara Newhall Follett, and the ways her family and others have approached the problem of writing her unresolved life story: a child raised and educated in solitude, a celebrated 'natural' child author, a young woman whose disappearance remains unsolved. The paper will explore the ways in which adults write the stories of children's lives, as nostalgia and fable, as fairytale and paracosmic narrative, and the ways in which Barbara's biographers have, consciously and unconsciously, created biographical concordances, or paracosms of the self, in seeking to make meaning of her life's story
