Robert Beightler shooting at Japanese sniper
No full textPhotograph of Major General Robert Beightler, Commander, 37th Infantry Division, kneeling front and center, shooting at a Japanese sniper, Bougainville, Solomon Islands, March 16, 1944. The 37th Infantry was nicknamed the Buckeye Division because it was originally comprised of Ohio National Guard units. The division went into combat in April 1943 on Guadacanal, Solomon Islands and spent over 600 days in action before the end of the war, more combat time than any other division. The 37th Infantry played a significant role in the invasion of the Phillippines

Robert Gendler's Astronomy Pictures
No full textRobert Gendler is an amateur astronomer with an extensive online gallery of his astronomy images. His pictures are available in high resolution on the web and for purchase in print form through his website. The author also provides links to additional resources which include: astronomical objects, an astronomy primer for beginners, an image gallery and external links. This is a nice resource for those interested in visual aspects of astronomy. Most of the resources are available free of charge, but the author does provide high resolution prints for sale
Emerging Trends and Technologies in the Information Ecosystem, December 10, 2021
No full textPresentation: "Trends in Collections and Analytics"and "Post-COVID Academic Library Trend-forecasting with a Focus on HBCUs"December’s Emerging Trends presentations provided tips on using technology for the creation and delivery of information. Madhu Kadiyala, Robert L. Fallen, Stephanie Bernard, and Suteera Apichatabutra share their knowledge from the Collections and Content Management Department, “Trends in Collections and Analytics.” There are many trends in the field of collections in the last few years. The whole serials market has been shaken up by mass cancellations, price changes, more document delivery choices, and changes in the way serials are used. Database products are transforming from collections of articles to “one stop shops” containing e-books, conference papers, videos, and many other publication formats. New analytics tools allow us to have detailed views of usage and complex views of collections. Open access materials are becoming better and more plentiful. The market is full of mergers and company acquisitions. “Collections as a service” is a fairly new buzz word, and there are recent cooperative collection projects that aim to preserve predictable numbers of copies of printed text as libraries move to more electronic delivery. In Jessica Epstein's presentation, "Post-COVID Academic Library Trend-Forecasting with a Focus on HBCUs," she covered topics ranging from the impact of access to a physical library space, issues of digital divide, device preferences during pandemic online learning and trend forecasting for Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library
Comparison of anionic membranes used to concentrate nitric acid to beyond the azeotropic mixture
No full textThe electrolysis of concentrated nitric acid solutions was carried out in an electrochemical cell with parallel plates (FM01-LC ICI). An anionic membrane that permits the migration of nitrate ions under the influence of an electrical field separated the anodic and cathodic compartments. The current efficiency for the transported nitrate ions was evaluated for several membranes, at a constant current. All the membranes allowed the transport of nitrate ions at different current efficiencies, following the increase in acid concentration in the anodic compartment. This electroseparation membrane process concentrated nitric acid from 25% up to 90% in successive stages. A special case to be noted was when the acid concentration was near the azeotropic value. In this case, the acid concentration in the anodic compartment rose above the azeotropic value of 68.5%, thus breaking the azeotrope mixture. It is expected that, for some niche applications, this process could be competitive with extractive distillation
Perspective: The first ten years of broadband chirped pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy
No full textSince its invention in 2006, the broadband chirped pulse Fourier transform spectrometer has transformed the field of microwave spectroscopy. The technique enables the collection of a ≥10 GHz bandwidth spectrum in a single shot of the spectrometer, which allows broadband, high-resolution microwave spectra to be acquired several orders of magnitude faster than what was previously possible. We discuss the advantages and challenges associated with the technique and look back on the first ten years of chirped pulse Fourier transform spectroscopy. In addition to enabling faster-than-ever structure determination of increasingly complex species, the technique has given rise to an assortment of entirely new classes of experiments, ranging from chiral sensing by three-wave mixing to microwave detection of multichannel reaction kinetics. However, this is only the beginning. Future generations of microwave experiments will make increasingly creative use of frequency-agile pulse sequences for the coherent manipulation and interrogation of molecular dynamics.United States.

Robert Ingpen: Author and Illustrator
No full textFilmed Tuesday 30 June, 1:00pm at Northern Territory Library, Parliament House Darwin.
Robert tells of the background to his commission to the design of the coat-of-arms and flag for the Northern Territory (0? 12 minutes) and his main activity in recent years illustrating a library of children's classic books culminating in September 2015 with Alice Through the Looking Glass. He also talks about his recent work with the National Library of Australia in publishing books for children using the resources of the national archive. One of these books is Tea and Sugar Christmas which is shortlisted in the 2015 Children's Book Council of Australia Book Awards.
Robert Ingpen is one of Australia's most successful illustrators and has written and/or illustrated more than 100 published books. In 1986 Robert became the only Australian to be awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for Illustration, recognising "complete works which have made a lasting contribution to children's literature". Often called the "Little Nobel Prize", the Hans Christian Andersen Award is the highest international recognition given to an author and an illustrator of children's books
Field investigations of SARS-CoV-2-outbreaks in Germany by the Robert Koch Institute, February–October 2020
No full textDas Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) bietet den Gesundheitsämtern in Deutschland bei Ausbrüchen von Infektionserkrankungen Beratung und praktische Unterstützung vor Ort an. Die Feldeinsätze werden von speziell geschultem Personal durchgeführt. Auch im Rahmen der COVID-19-Pandemie leistet das RKI regelmäßig diese Form der Amtshilfe in unterschiedlichen Settings. Dabei handelt es sich beispielsweise um Ausbrüche in Wohngebäuden, Arztpraxen, Alten- und Pflegeheimen, Kliniken, Erstaufnahmeeinrichtungen für Asylsuchende, aber auch in einem Nachtclub oder auf einem Kreuzfahrtschiff.The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) offers advice and assistance to local public health agencies on the investigation and management of outbreaks of infectious diseases. Specially trained experts conduct field investigations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, RKI experts participated in the investigation of outbreaks in residential buildings, physicians’ offices, nursing homes, hospitals, and asylum seekers’ facilities as well as at a night club and on a cruise ship.Peer Reviewe
