Warren G. Harding birthplace postcard
No full textThis postcard depicts the home where President Warren G. Harding was born on November 2, 1865, near the village of Blooming Grove, Ohio, in Morrow County. The house was built in 1856 and torn down in 1896. The reverse of the postcard includes a note that this image was "From one of his own camera plates, snapped by W.G. Harding, Compliments of Harding Jr, 1/30/24....to Chas. D. Schaffner, Marion, O." The printed portion includes information about the home sworn by C. W. Kramer, Notary Public in Marion County, Ohio on November 9, 1923. Harding graduated from Ohio Central College in Iberia at the age of sixteen. His family moved to Marion, where Harding taught school and briefly studied law. He worked occasionally as a reporter for a local paper before buying the Marion Star in 1884. Within five years, the Star was one of the most successful small-town newspapers in the state. Harding became popular as the leader of the Citizen's Coronet Band, which played at political rallies, and for his skill as an orator. Willing to follow the lead of political bosses, Harding advanced rapidly in Ohio politics, serving as state senator and lieutenant governor. In 1914 Harding was elected to the U. S. Senate. He launched his famous "front porch" 1920 presidential campaign from the porch of his Victorian home in Marion. He won the presidency with sixty percent of the popular vote, promising a "return to normalcy" following the wave of reforms begun during Theodore Roosevelt's administration. As president, Harding appointed several friends to federal office who proved untrustworthy. His administration was tainted by corruption, and the infamous "Teapot Dome" scandal (in which Harding's secretary of the interior leased a government petroleum reserve to a private oil company) nearly destroyed his presidency. After he died in office in August 1923, other scandals were uncovered, further tarnishing Harding's reputation

Macromolecular conformation of chitosan in dilute solution: A new global hydrodynamic approach
Get PDFChitosans of different molar masses were prepared by storing freshly prepared samples for up to 6 months at either 4, 25 or 40 °C. The weight-average molar masses, Mw and intrinsic viscosities, [η] were then measured using size exclusion chromatography coupled to multi-angle laser light scattering (SEC-MALLS) and a "rolling ball" viscometer, respectively. The solution conformation of chitosan was then estimated from:(a)the Mark-Houwink-Kuhn-Sakurada (MHKS) power law relationship [η] = kMwa and(b)the persistence length, Lp calculated from a new approach based on equivalent radii [Ortega, A., & Garcia de la Torre, J. (2007). Equivalent radii and ratios of radii from solution properties as indicators of macromolecular conformation, shape, and flexibility. Biomacromolecules, 8, 2464-2475]. Both the MHKS power law exponent (a = 0.95 ± 0.01) and the persistence length (Lp = 16 ± 2 nm) are consistent with a semi-flexible rod type (or stiff coil) conformation for all 33 chitosans studied. A semi-flexible rod conformation was further supported by the Wales-van Holde ratio, the translational frictional ratio and sedimentation conformation zoning. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
O. A. C. Review Volume XLIX Issue 5, February 1937
No full textThis mid-winter issue begins with a travel diary of a student's journey through the Scottish Trossachs. The highlight of the issue is the success of the Conversazione and its theme of India. A student contributed a humorous piece on traveling salesmen, while another student presents the debate over the seminar method of teaching at the college. The Literary Section reports on the Canadian Author Evening with the speakers addressing the significance of Vimy Ridge. Toronto's debating team visits the campus with a challenge of speaking without "sprouting a whisker" -- saying "er" or "um" while speaking. Campus news provides updates on the numerous banquets and dances, campus humour, and the production of "Arms and the Man". The Macdonald Institute column contains a poem regarding the Conversat, a humorous "letter home", and news about the new recreation room in Mac Hall. The agricultural article pertains to the College's acquisition of Kerry Hill sheep. The athletic column reports on the various athletic team results. The Bits O' Bronze lecture was on the history of agriculture in Upper Canada. The Alumni column contains alumni updates and changes to the graduate list. The Macdonald Alumnae column reports on the teaching of household arts in Toronto public schools and alumnae updates.EditorialAs I recall the TrossacksThe travelling salesmanRound the world in two hoursOur seminar systemOur inquiring reporterThe East comes to the ConversatCranial contortionsMother Nature strains a pointLiterary sectionWhiskers and other weighty mattersOn the Misguided WorldCollege lifeMacdonald newsConversazione 1937Letters to the editorKerry Hill sheep introduced to CanadaO.

Vibrational spectra and structures of neutral Si6X clusters (X = Be, B, C, N, O)
Get PDFDieser Beitrag ist mit Zustimmung des Rechteinhabers aufgrund einer (DFG geförderten) Allianz- bzw. Nationallizenz frei zugänglich.This publication is with permission of the rights owner freely accessible due to an Alliance licence and a national licence (funded by the DFG, German Research Foundation) respectively.Neutral silicon clusters doped with first row elements (Si6X) have been generated (X = B, C, N, O) and characterized by infrared–ultraviolet (IR–UV) two-photon resonance-enhanced ionization spectroscopy (X = C, O) and quantum chemical calculations (X = Be, B, C, N, O, Si). In the near threshold UV photoionization, the ion signal of specific cluster sizes can be significantly enhanced by resonant excitation with tunable IR light prior to UV irradiation, allowing for the measurement of the IR spectra of Si7, Si6C, and Si6O clusters. Structural assignments are achieved with the help of a global optimization procedure using density functional theory (DFT). The most stable calculated structures show the best agreement between predicted and measured spectra. The dopant atoms in the Si6X clusters have a negative net charge and the Si atoms act as electron donors within the clusters. Moreover, the overall structures of the Si6X clusters depend strongly on the nature of the dopant atom, i.e., its size and valency. While in some of the Si6X clusters one Si atom in Si7 is simply substituted by the dopant atom (X = Be, B, C), other cases exhibit a completely different geometry (X = N, O). As a general trend, doping of the Si7 cluster with first-row dopants is predicted to shift the optically allowed electronic transitions into the visible or even near-IR spectral range due to symmetry reduction or the radical character of the doped cluster.DFG, FOR 1282, Controlling the electronic structure of semiconductor nanoparticles by doping and hybrid formatio
Econometric Analysis and Prediction of Recurrent Events
Get PDFEconomic events such as expansions and recessions in economic activity, bull and bear markets in stock prices and financial crises have long attracted substantial interest. In recent times there has been a focus upon predicting the events and constructing Early Warning Systems of them. Econometric analysis of such recurrent events is however in its infancy. One can represent the events as a set of binary indicators. However they are different to the binary random variables studied in micro-econometrics, being constructed from some (possibly) continuous data. The lecture discusses what difference this makes to their econometric analysis. It sets out a framework which deals with how the binary variables are constructed, what an appropriate estimation procedure would be, and the implications for the prediction of them. An example based on Turkish business cycles is used throughout the lecture.Business and Financial Cycles; Binary Time Series; BBQ Algorithm

Agricultural articles pertain to the dietary benefits of human consumption of rye and timothy grasses, and continued research in soil nutrient depletion. Other articles include the presentation of A. T. Christie's Victorian medals to the Ontario Agricultural College. An alumnus continues his 1931 story as a stowaway. The English column addresses the use of proper English and the origin of the Little Theatre Movement. While the literary column provides book reviews, an account of the Canadian Author Lecture by H. Napier Moore, and the composition of epitaphs. The athletics column reports on the results of the competitions in basketball, swimming, hockey, boxing, wrestling, and fencing. In the Macdonald Institute column a student describes the O. A. C. campus to foreign students, there are also accounts of the "Feminine Section of O. A. C., and a tally of the food consumed in the dinning hall. The highlight of the campus news column is the Conversazione of 1938 and the social events of the season. The O. V. C. column provides updates of the joint social events between the colleges on campus. A new column - the Club News, reviews events for each of the animal husbandry, field husbandry, dairy, horticulture, and biology clubs. Alumni and Alumnae columns provide alumni updates.EditorialLand of the first Red Fife kernelA. T.
