'Portrait of a Fireman' photograph
No full textPhotograph of a fireman as seen through a broken greenhouse window and surrounded by smoke in Columbia Township, Ohio, and titled "Portrait of a Fireman." The image was submitted by photographer John G. Kenney of Elyria, Ohio, in the Professional category of the Spirit of Ohio Bicentennial Photograph Contest.
In August 1976, the Ohio American Revolution Bicentennial Advisory Committee (OARBAC) began the Spirit of Ohio Bicentennial Photo Contest as part of a larger effort in Ohio to celebrate the 1976 American Bicentennial. The contest was meant to document "the spirit and character of the people and places which represent Ohio during [the] bicentennial year," and to create a permanent photographic archive of the year's festivity for use by future researchers. Both professional and amateur photographers submitted over 500 photographs for consideration, all taken within the state between January 1 and December 31, 1976

Fireman: firefighter team breathing management system using android
No full textMestrado em Engenharia de Computadores e TelemáticaOs bombeiros atuam, quotidianamente, em cenários bastante
adversos, podendo as condicionantes ser tão extremas (e. g.
fumos, gazes, temperatura) que tornem necessário o recurso
a dispositivos de respiração artificial, denominados por
Aparelho Respiratório Isolantes de Circuito Aberto (ARICA).
Neste sentido, e dada a importância da função respiratória
para a saúde dos operacionais, torna-se pertinente a
utilização de novas soluções tecnológicas que permitam
auxiliar os bombeiros, na monitorização respiratória, quando
estes utilizam o ARICA.
Na presente dissertação descreve-se a conceção do sistema
FIREMAN, para a monitorização respiratória em bombeiros
que utilizam ARICA com suporte do VitalAir (dispositivo,
agregado ao ARICA, para aquisição de sinal respiratório). A
aplicação central do FIREMAN consiste num módulo de
análise respiratória integrado na aplicação DroidJacket,
aplicação de monitorização de equipas de bombeiros. Este
módulo permite a identificação de variáveis de interesse no
domínio da respiração (e.g. padrões respiratórios, autonomia
e consumo instantâneo do ARICA) permitindo detectar
potenciais situações de risco no Teatro de Operações. Como
prova de conceito, desenvolveu-se uma aplicação Web, que
permite a visualização da informação respiratória obtida por
meio da aplicação móvel do FIREMAN.
A avaliação do FIREMAN consistiu na demonstração do
sistema a bombeiros e em provas de esforço, em 5 bombeiros
com diferente grau de experiência na utilização do ARICA,
onde foi evidente o potencial do sistema em identificar
diferentes níveis de esforço.
O sistema FIREMAN poderá cobrir uma lacuna encontrada na
monitorização e estudo dos danos que as operações de
socorro induzem nos operacionais (e.g. patologias, stress),
constituindo uma boa base de suporte no Teatro de
Operações. Adicionalmente, e enquanto resultado científico,
ressalta-se a aceitação de uma publicação do FIREMAN
numa conferência internacional da área científica.Firefighters work, every day, under very adverse scenarios,
the constraints may be so extreme (e. g. smoke, gases,
temperature), requiring the use of artificial respiration devices,
called Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). In this
sense, and given the importance of respiratory function for the
health of operational, it is pertinent to use new technology
solutions helping those firefighters in the respiratory
monitoring, when they use SCBA.
This dissertation describes the design of the system
FIREMAN, for respiratory monitoring for firefighters using
SCBA supported by VitalAir (device added to SCBA for
acquiring the respiratory signal). The FIREMAN main
application consists in an analysis module, integrated in the
respiratory DroidJacket application (monitoring application for
firefighters’ team). This module allows the identification of
variables of interest in the field of respiration (e. g. breathing
patterns, autonomy and instantaneous consumption of SCBA)
allowing the detection of potential risky situations in the
operation scenarios. As a proof of concept, we developed a
web application that allows the visualization of respiratory
information obtained by the mobile application.
The system was evaluated by practical demonstration, and by
exercise tests, in 5 firefighters with different levels of
experience in the use of SCBA. The system potential was
evident in the identification of different effort levels.
The FIREMAN system can cover a gap found in the monitoring
and study of the damage induced by the operations in the
firefighters (e. g. diseases, stress), providing a good basis of
support in the operation scenarios. Additionally, and as a
scientific result, it should be emphasized the acceptance of a
publication (about the FIREMAN system) in an international
conference

Life Of An American Fireman
No full textPerhaps the most intriguing film of the Sulphur Springs discovery is Lubin's imitation of the famous Porter/Edison Life Of An American Fireman. The title, along with a two-column description first appeared in the Lubin catalog issued in May, 1905 (13). Lubin's trademark is prominently displayed in two scenes: First, on the wall of the Fire Chief's office just above the telephone (see frame enlargement), and later, on the wall of the set depicting the interior of the burning bedroom where the mother and child are rescued. The print lacked the original title but is complete with the ten shots/scenes the Lubin catalog indicates. (The LoC Paper Prints version of Porter's film contains nine scenes.) Comparing the print with Lubin catalog descriptions suggests the film is an economically produced hybrid. It seems to include staged fire-run and rescue scenes originally made for an earlier fire film interspersed with four new scenes shot to mimic Porter's American Fireman.

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
