B829: Addison—Its Persistencies and Changes
No full textIn 1947, at the request of the Maine Agricultural Extension Service, personnel of the USDA and Extension Service studied three Maine towns: Addison, in Washington County; Easton, in Aroostook County; and Turner, in Androscoggin County. The purpose of the studies was to determine the factors related to participation in Extension and other community-based activities; results of the research were summarized in Hay et al. (1949). The 1986-89 study of Addison analyzed in this publication is a component of a research project that focuses also on Easton and Turner and Landaff, New Hampshire. The current study is not, per se, a duplication of the earlier research. The two projects employed different research methodologies. In the 1986-1989 series of studies, the author relied on key informants to obtain data related to the structure and functioning of key institutions in the four communities and focused on social change in each of the communities. To obtain the necessary data for each of the major social institutions—economics, education, family, government, religion, and the process of social stratification—the author interviewed residents of the town and personnel of relevant institutions and agencies. During the three-year observation and interviewing process, the author interviewed more than 50 Addison residents. All formal interviews were tape recorded and later transcribed. The author also used town reports, a published history, local documents, and newspapers.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_bulletin/1026/thumbnail.jp

私観JOSEPH ADDISON
No full textApart from our evaluation of him as the father of modern English prose, which is more from a linguistic point of view, few people pay attention nowadays to the literature of Joseph Addison, the foremost of Queen Anne essayists and one of the two outstanding contributors to such essay periodicals as the Tatler and Spectator. Although general interest in his literature has waned recently, I believe that, in specific phases of Addison\u27s prose literature at least, there remain some timeless merits. Also his unmistakable influence on men of letters was felt for over 100 years after his death at the age of 47 in 1719. To attest to these two points is the principal purpose of this thesis. To assist those readers who may be unfamiliar with this Augustan author, I have roughly sketched his life in Chapter I of my treatise. Included in Chapter II is a rather critical view by our Soseki Natsume, who takes Addison to task for paying less attention to the substance of his writing than the style, though, as a matter of fact, the word \u27style\u27 is not to be seen in his commentary. These excerpts from Natsume, I hope, will also help readers figure out what Addison\u27s literature is like. My opinions, which tend to differ from Natsume\u27s, complete this section. In the final chapter (III), I have tried to draw a few elements of Addison\u27s true genius-his unique self-effacing style, his sense of beauty, and his exquisite fictional devices-that came, as a united whole, to pave the way for many generations to come, not necessarily for the development of the traditional genre of the essay, but rather for the promotion and establishment of the new field of modern prose fiction
XRF data from a temperate fjord in Alaska over the last 2,000 years
No full textScanning X-ray fluorometry (XRF) data were collected from the split surfaces of cores EW0408-32MC, -32TC, and -33JC (see Addison et al., 2013; doi:10.1002/jgrc.20243). Using the composite depth scale and alignment of the XRF data from the three cores, a continuous XRF data splice was generated. This splice uses the following depth horizons: 0.0-0.27 m bsf in EW0408-32MC; 0.272 – 0.65 m bsf in -33TC; and >0.65 m bsf in -33JC. This data release specifically focuses on the scanning XRF datasets for bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl), as the Br/Cl ratio has been shown to reflect variations in primary productivity (see Addison et al., 2013; doi:10.1002/jgrc.20243 ). In addition to the raw counts per second units for Br and Cl, statistical calculations are also included: the geometric mean of all X-ray counts, which is in turn used to calculate the centered natural-log-ratio (clr) transformations of both Br and Cl. The resulting clr Br / clr Cl ratio is calculated, and a two-part linear background is removed from the dataset to correct for sediment compaction. The detrended clr Br / clr Cl data are presented in their native format, as well as being normalized to Z-scores; raw and 10-yr multi-pass smoothed data are included in this data release. A multi-decadal (40-yr) variance calculation is also included
