Letter from Jewel D. Kennemer to Gretchen Howell, 1943-06-23
No full textA handwritten letter from Jewel D. Kennemer to Gretchen Howell. In this letter, Kennemer writes that he has received copies of the East Texan newspaper and comments on general changes in East Texas. He asks about his previous colleagues who worked at the East Texas State Teachers College Library. Kennemer also describes his work in the Army and how he believes many soldiers have been let down by the home front, perhaps because of coal strikes organized by John L. Lewis.https://lair.etamu.edu/scua-howell-letters/1000/thumbnail.jp

Outcrop analogues: the good, the bad and the ugly. Journal of Mediterranean Earth Sciences
No full textThe amount of subsurface data available to characterize subsurface reservoirs and de-risk uncertainty at different scale of observation represents one of the main challenges in exploration and production. A sound-outcrop-based conceptual depositional model is key to reducing such uncertainties (Martinius, 2017; Rossi et al., 2017). Ancient and present-day analogues are extensively used to provide valuable information on geobody size, geometry and internal characterization representing a valuable tool in improving understanding of subsurface reservoir (Chiarella et al., 2012; Chiarella et al., 2016; Telesca et al., this volume). Analogue data can be classified in four key types: (i) soft data, which include information about the facies and their lateral and vertical relationship; (ii) hard data, which describe the dimensions and geometry of the geobody; (iii) training images, which record the dimensions, proportions and spatial relationship; and (iv) analogue production data, which provide data from direct subsurface production analogues (Howell et al., 2014). An important aspect that needs to be considered is the areal coverage of the outcrop in comparison with the subsurface reservoir - the typical size for an oil field is between 2 and 20 km, and wells are usually spaced from a few hundred metres to a few kilometres apart. Consequently despite the plethora of high-quality outcrops around the world, there are only a limited number that are large enough to make them suitable for the collection of data at a scale that is really suitable to understand reservoir geometries at a field or even interwell spacing (Howell et al., 2014). At the same time, for the few outcrops that are large enough to overcome the size of the typical oil field (e.g. Book Cliff and Karoo Basin) the identification of which part of the depositional system best represents the studied reservoir can be challenging. Therefore, not all analogues provide valuable information for reservoir characterisation. A step towards improving the applicability of outcrop analogues to subsurface case studies, has been the advent of Virtual Outcrop studies with the development of LiDAR and photogrammetric based acquisition systems. This has improved our ability to generate “reservoir models” of the outcrops, which can be flow simulated closing the loop between the outcrop and the subsurface (e.g. Enge and Howell, 2010; Fig. 1). Further, the generation of synthetic seismic data from outcrops (e.g. Bakke et al., 2008) has also helped to close the gap between the outcrop analogue and the subsurface dataset. However, it is important to note that no two systems are identical and therefore the ‘perfect’ analogue does not exist. What we strive for is to combine studies from several partial analogues and to improve the conceptual geological model. In that respect, it is important to have clear in mind the purpose and scale of your study in order to select the appropriate analogues to incorporate

Spectrochemical studies of coordination complexes: I. Stereospecific kinetics of the ligand-ligand exchange reactions of D*-(-)- and L*-(+)-1,2-propylenediaminetetraacetatolead (II) with D-(-)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid
No full textThe ligand-ligand exchange reactions of D-(-)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid (D(-)CDTA) with D*-(-)-[Pb(L(+)PDTA)] and L*-(+)-[Pb(D(-)PDTA)] (PDTA denotes 1,2-propylenediaminetetraacetic acid) over the pH range 11.1 to 13.4 have been shown to be pH dependent, and the rates of exchange increase with increasing pH. The ligand-ligand exchange reactions were monitored by means of polarimetry at 290 nm. The D*-(-)-[Pb(L(+)PDTA)] exchange reaction is slower than the L*-(+)-[Pb(D(-)PDTA)] exchange reaction at the lower experimental pH values, but their rates of exchange with D(-)CDTA approach each other with increasing pH until they become experimentally indistinguishable at pH 13.2. The experimental pH range (pH 11.1 to 13.4) is divided into three regions for each lead-PDTA exchange reaction, with each region characterized by a particular exchange reaction which were described as a aquo-assisted tetra-negative D(-) CDTA attack, a monohydroxy-assisted reaction, and a dihydroxy assisted reaction. A rate expression was derived for the exchange reactions considering the three proposed reaction pathways. Computer-assisted least squares regression analysis showed agreement between the proposed rate expression and the experimental rates of reactions. Using molecular models and the steric influences of the entering and leaving ligands to yield the most favorable intermediates and to account for the correct stereochemical products, reaction mechanisms were proposed for each lead-PDTA isomer and each proposed reaction pathway. ..
Firm R&D, innovation and easing financial constraints in China: Does corporate tax reform matter?
No full textThis paper studies the relationship between firms' innovation activities, financial constraints and corporate tax reform in China. A firm-level proxy for financial constraints is derived using cash-flow analysis and subsequently linked to various innovation activities of the firm. As an identification strategy, difference in-differences with exact matching is employed to study whether a reduction in the corporate tax burden via China's 2004 value-added tax (VAT) reform influences firms' innovation activities given they face increasing financial constraints. The results reveal that low access to liquidity in the private sector has a persistent negative effect on firms' innovation activities and reduces the innovation success for more R&D intensive firms. Given increasing financial constraints, a reduction in private-sector firms' corporate tax burden spurs new product and process sales despite failing to affect either their decision to pursue R&D or the amount to invest. The findings suggest that easing financial constraints alone cannot correct the market failure caused by underinvestment in China's private sector. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Pasteur No. 38, Bandung, West Java, 40161, Indonesia, Email [email protected]: During COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to distinguish febrile patient infected by SARS-CoV-2 or bacterial causes. Howell-Jolly bodies are a well-known entity found in red blood cells. They are nuclear fragments, composed of deoxyribonucleic acid, commonly observed in the peripheral blood smears of hyposplenic or asplenic patients. Recently, similar inclusions often referred to as Howell-Jolly body-like inclusions (HJBLIs) have been reported in the neutrophils of patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and COVID-19 patient.Aim: To explore whether HJBLIs in peripheral blood smear could differentiate between patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 and bacterial pneumonia.Methods: We performed cross-sectional study using secondary data from COVID-19 database and re-evaluated peripheral blood smears to identify HJBLIs. We included confirmed COVID-19 adults age > 18 years who were hospitalized in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia from March 1st 2020–May 31st 2020. We also examined peripheral blood smears in patients with confirmed bacterial pneumonia as a control group. Clinical characteristics including disease severity, CURB-65 score, comorbidity, and the present of HJBLIs in peripheral blood smears were evaluated.Results: Overall, 33 patients were included: 22 were confirmed COVID-19 and 11 were confirmed bacterial pneumonia. The median (interquartile range) age in COVID-19 and patients with bacterial pneumonia were 53 years (40– 64) vs 57 years (53– 71), respectively. Compared with patients with bacterial pneumonia, HJBLIs were significantly higher in COVID-19 patients [21/22 (80.8%) vs 5/11 (45.5%), p 0.001].Conclusion: Howell-Jolly body-like inclusions could be a potential feature to help differentiate between COVID-19 and bacterial pneumonia.Keywords: Howell-Jolly body-like inclusions, COVID-19, bacterial pneumonia, peripheral blood smea
