Maximum tidal and storm surge currents over the continental shelf - preliminary results from a numerical model

Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1898.Morse Department of Special CollectionsIntroduction: The Flather Hydraulic Dynamometer is a form of transmitting dynamometer which was first constructed by Prof Flather, of Purdue University. The following is a description of the one owned by the Mechanical Department of the Kansas State Agricultural College. A hollow shaft carries three eighteen inch pulleys. One of these is fixed rigidly to the shaft, and one is entirely loose so that it can turn on the shaft. These two act as ordinary fast-and-loose pulleys, by means of which power can be transmitted by the dynamometer or not, as required. The third pulley is fixed to the shaft by a device for measuring the force required to turn the pulley, and hence, the force required to run any machine to which this pulley may be belted. Fixed to the shaft at the side of this pulley, are two cups opposite each other. Each of these cups is accurately turned inside to receive a plunger, and they are pivoted so that they can have a small motion of rotation in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the shaft. They are so placed that the open end of each is in the direction of rotation of the shaft. There is a hole in the bottom of each cup, which is connected by a flexible tube, to the inside of the hollow shaft

On the impact of a radiational open boundary condition on continental shelf resonances
No full textStudies carried out with a one-dimensional model of a continental shelf and deep ocean have shown that the use of a radiational boundary condition doubles the decay rate of the shelf resonances. This note reports on a study using a model of the English Channel and Irish Sea which shows that, in this more realistic model, a radiational boundary condition based on Flather (1976) has a much smaller effect
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
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
