Letter from Dillon Myer, Director of War Relocation Authority to WRA staff members
No full textLetter to WRA staff members requesting them to read the documents on Japanese Americans by John F. Embree. The documents are issues of "Community analysis report," report on Japanese Americans [csufu_sc_0011] and causes of unrest [csufu_sc_010].The Japanese American Relocation Collection is composed of ephemera related to the relocation program during World War II. Items include the official government report of Manzanar Relocation Center, a photo album, post-war activism materials related to preserving and remembering the camps, various clippings, and documents. The strength of this collection is found in its many perspectives on the controversial relocation program and how it has been presented since World War II
On the nonlinearity profile of the Dillon function
No full textThe nonlinearity profile of a Boolean function is the sequence of its minimum Hamming distances to all functions of degrees at most , for . The nonlinearity profile of a vectorial function is the sequence of the minimum Hamming distances between its component functions and functions of degrees at most , for .The profile of the multiplicative inverse functions has been lower bounded in a previous paper by the same author. No other example of an infinite class of functions with unbounded algebraic degree has been exhibited since then, whose nonlinearity profile could be efficiently lower bounded. In this preprint, we lower bound the whole nonlinearity profile of the simplest Dillon bent function ,

Community analysis report, no. 2 (February 1943)
No full textReport by John Embree on "the causes of social unrest at relocation centers," sent as attachment to letter from War Relocation Authority director Dillon S. Myer to WRA staff. chs_ms840_0365 is an earlier (the first) report by Embree to WRA staff. In his letter, Myer writes: "This second report on the causes of social unrest at relocation centers was originally prepared as a memorandum to the Director of the War Relocation Authority in December 1942. It was revised to its present form in January 1943 and is now being sent out to all project personnel at the suggestion of several project directors at the recent meetings in San Francisco, Denver, and Little Rock." Report is marked "restricted." Document number 6-5712-[page number]-BU-COS-WP.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration.

COVID-19: Changing fields of social work practice with children and young people
No full textThis is a post-peer-review, pre-copy edited version of an article published in [Critical and Radical Social Work]. The definitive publisher-authenticated version [Dillon, J., Evans, F., & Wroe, L. E. (2021). COVID-19: changing fields of social work practice with children and young people. Critical and Radical Social Work, 9(2), 289–296] is available online at: https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/crsw/9/2/article-p289.xmlDrawing on the theoretical work of Wacquant, Bourdieu and Foucault, we interrogate how the COVID-19 pandemic has weaponised child and family social work practices through reinvigorated mechanisms of discipline and surveillance. We explore how social workers are caught in the struggle between enforcement and relational welfare support. We consider how the illusio of social work obscures power dynamics impacting children, young people and families caught in child welfare systems, disproportionately affecting classed and racialised individuals.This is not OA - author deposited the VoR but this should have been embargoed.

Characterization of endoplasmic reticulum from castor bean and the cloning of a plant phosphatase: a basis for comprehensive plant organelle proteomics research
No full textThe plant endoplasmic reticulum is the location of storage oil and membrane lipid assembly, and for fatty acid modifying reactions (desaturation, elongation, hydroxylation). It therefore represents a source of enzymes involved in these processes. Many of these defy traditional purification strategies. In this study, ER membranes have been isolated biochemically pure and in milligram quanties from the endosperm of developing and germinating castor bean. One-dimensional SDS- PAGE, used to routinely assess sample integrity, showed resolution limitations. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was optimized regarding sample preparation and solubilization, and reproducible profiles confirmed its suitability as a sound basis for analysis of stage-specific ER components. In large format 2-D experiments, preparative loadings were reproducibly resolved. MALDI TOP mass spectrometry was evaluated for high throughput peptide signature generation with individual ER components. Resolution problems were again highlighted with 1-D separations, although some functional assignments were made. Subsequently analysis of selected spots from a preparative 2-D gel of germinating ER was used to establish the limitations of the procedure. Database matching of a single component at very low levels of mass error tolerance also demonstrated the power and accuracy of the technology. Membranes were subfractionated to simplify protein patterns. It is proposed that an organellar approach, including subfractionation, provides enrichment of specific subsets of cellular components. A putative plant phosphatidic acid phosphatase gene has been investigated following identification from the EST database. The aim of this research is the identification of proteins involved in storage lipid synthesis in castor bean in reactions specific to the endoplasmic reticulum
Shape Persistence in Elicited Subjective Crop Yield Probability Density Functions
No full textThe shape persistence of a crop yield probability density function (PDF) was studied by using two variants of the Visual Impact Method (VIM) to elicit subjective estimations by farmers. In one variant ten weights were used to describe the PDF and in the other variant the farmer chose the number of weights. Results were compared directly and by means of Weibull distributions fitting, with evidence being obtained in favor of methodological persistence and the equivalence of the two estimation methods.Subjective crop yield PDF elicitation, Visual impact method, Methodological persistence, Crop Production/Industries,
Xerxés, Ariadné, Trimalchio és a többiek: Opera és antikvitás – a kortárs rendezői és szerzői koncepciók tükrében
No full textThis study provides the synoptic treatment of Ancient themes in modern opera. The first part reflects on the classical operas reinterpreted by contemporary Hungarian directors (Balázs Kovalik, Róbert Alföldi, Ferenc Anger); the second part deals with the new contemporary works inspired by Ancient texts. The main questions focus on the tension between the Ancient material and the strategies of reinterpretation, on the selffashioning of the author and on the examination of the original texts’ cultural identity. The most important strategies of the reanimation of Ancient cultural or textual ambient are: a) reconstruction (Melis, Orff), b) plasticity and common presence of the multifaced myths (Bussotti, Birtwistle), c) ritualisation (Dillon, Furrer), d) fragmentation (Maderna), e) „exposure” of the myth or the well-known story (Martinů, Dallapiccola, Turnage), f) utilisation of the Ancient context for the purposes of the ”emancipation” (Harrison).This study provides the synoptic treatment of Ancient themes in modern opera.
