United States Marines Iwo Jima Photo Album, 1945
No full textDigitized version of photo album assembled by Jack D. Cheesman from images taken by USMC photographer Douglas H. Page. Flyleaf includes Cheesman's signature and affiliation with the Marines' V Amphibious Corps. Images include views of Mt. Suribachi, Turkey Knob, Hill 382, various caves and tunnels fortified by the Japanese and other battlescapes. Contains graphic depictions of the Marines' landing, combat operations, patrols, and a field hospital. Includes numerous images of boats, tanks, heavy equipment, and encampments and associated infrastructure and supplies. One shot shows mail being dropped on the island via parachute. Features funeral ceremonies and firing party salute for 3rd and 4th Marine divisions and multiple images of Lt. General Holland M. Smith and Major Generals Harry Schmidt, Clifton B. Cates, Graves B. Erskine, and Keller E. Rockey. Includes a spreadsheet with descriptions and transcriptions of captions for all photographs.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/101755/1/Cheesman_Iwo-Jima-Album.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/101755/2/pt-1_Iwo-Jima-Album_1-18.ziphttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/101755/3/pt-2_Iwo-Jima-Album_19-36.ziphttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/101755/4/pt-3_Iwo-Jima-Album_37-54.ziphttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/101755/5/pt-4_Iwo-Jima-Album_55-70.ziphttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/101755/6/Cheesman_Iwo-Jima-Album_Descriptions.xls

MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

Iwo Jima and the Bonin Islands in U.S.-Japan Relations
No full textThis book is an attempt to both bridge the gap—and show the similarities—in understanding this issue on both sides, as well as to examine the dynamics of the interplay between the United States and Japan over the destiny of the islands. It is not only a historical study of U.S.-Japan relations and Japanese political and diplomatic history but is also an attempt to contribute to Bonin- and Iwo Jima-related studies
