Letter from Charles F. Blankenship, Medical Director, Retired, Department of Health and Human Services to Assistant Surgeon General, Leonard Bachman, Division of Hospitals and Clinics, Department of Health and Human Services, August 12, 1981
No full textLetter from Dr. Charles F. Blankenship recounting his participation in the medical component of the forced evacuation of 120,000 Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans from the West Coast to internment camps early in 1942.In 1942, Charles Blankenship, a physician with the U. S. Public Health Service and medical consultant for the Service Command, United States Army in the San Francisco Regional Office, was given the assignment to inspect all Japanese American incarcerees from the Southern California sector for medical conditions before or as they entered the Santa Anita Racetrack Assembly Center, and later Manzanar, Gila River, and Rohwer incarceration camps

A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
RoMEO Studies 4: An analysis of Journal publishers' Copyright Agreements
No full textThis article is the fourth in a series of six emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open archiving). It describes an analysis of 80 scholarly journal publishers’ copyright agreements with a particular view to their effect on author self-archiving. 90% of agreements asked for copyright transfer and 69% asked for it prior to refereeing the paper. 75% asked authors to warrant that their work had not been previously published although only two explicitly stated that they viewed self-archiving as prior publication. 28.5% of agreements provided authors with no usage rights over their own paper. Although 42.5% allowed self-archiving in some format, there was no consensus on the conditions under which self-archiving could take place. The article concludes that author-publisher copyright agreements should be reconsidered by a working party representing the needs of both partie

Publisher Copyright: © 2023 American Mathematical Society.We improve the bound of the g-invariant of the ring of integers of a totally real number field, where the g-invariant g(r) is the smallest number of squares of linear forms in r variables that is required to represent all the quadratic forms of rank r that are representable by the sum of squares. Specifically, we prove that the gOK(r) of the ring of integers OK of a totally real number field K is at most gZ([K : Q]r). Moreover, it can also be bounded by gOF ([K : F]r + 1) for any subfield F of K. This yields a subexponential upper bound for g(r) of each ring of integers (even if the class number is not 1). Further, we obtain a more general inequality for the lattice version G(r) of the invariant and apply it to determine the value of G(2) for all but one real quadratic field.Peer reviewe
F. Bucholz letter to Adjutant General, August 13, 1862
No full textLetter dated August 13, 1862, from F. Bucholz of Wapakoneta, Ohio, to Adjutant General Charles W. Hill, requesting that Hill send him transportation from Wapakoneta to Columbus (likely to Camp Chase). Bucholz states that he was a paroled prisoner of Company F, 37th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and that he received a furlough which expired on August 12, but had mislaid or lost it.
Established in 1861, Camp Chase served as a recruitment and training center for the Union Army and as a prison camp for captured Confederate soldiers during the Civil War
