    Alex Toth and another Librarian examining a card catalog

    No full text
    Alex Toth, who was a Librarian at Pacific University, and another Librarian (possibly Patricia Sobottka?), examining a card catalog in Pacific's Scott Library in July, 1978. This appears to be the Author catalog, which provided access to the books in Pacific's collections based on the last name of the author. This is one of a set of photographs that appears to have been posed in order to demonstrate the range of work that was taking place in the library

    The Autonarratives of Ernest Hemingway (and Others)

    No full text
    Draws on the theories of Kenneth Burke, Julia Kristeva, and others in his examination of the complexity of self-representation found in A Moveable Feast. Toth analyzes Hemingway’s fictional construction of personal experience in “Miss Stein Instructs,” “Ford Madox Ford and the Devil’s Disciple,” “Birth of a New School,” and elsewhere. Concludes that the discreet sketches “emerge as a series of accurate yet always also contingent portraits—of Hemingway as a young author, of other famous writers working in the same place and time, of the specific events that defined the function of writing during the ‘Paris movement.’

    Author Institution:Collision broadened line widths of H2O+airH_{2}O + air and HDO+N2HDO + N_{2} were determined from high resolution spectra covering the ν1,2ν2andν3\nu_{1}, 2\nu_{2} and \nu_{3} bands for both absorbing molecules. The N2O+N2N_{2}O + N_{2} line widths encompassed the spectral regions of the (1200), (2000), (0111), (0201), (1001) and (0002) bands. The N2ON_{2}O band notation is (ν1,ν2,,ν3)(\nu_{1}, \nu_{2},\ell,\nu_{3}). The H2O+airH_{2}O + air and HDO+N2HDO + N_{2} measurements were obtained for samples at room temperature and the N2O+N2 N_{2}O + N_{2} spectra were obtained for samples at 296K {296}^{\circ} K and 220K{220}^{\circ} K . The N2O+N2(220KN_{2}O + N_{2}({220}^{\circ} K ) values are compared to best-fit calculated values given in an earlier study by Toth.1Toth.^{1} R. A. Toth, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 40, 605-615 (1971)

    Short-Term Forecasting of Czech Quarterly GDP Using Monthly Indicators

    No full text
    We evaluate the out-of-sample forecasting performance of six competing models at horizons of up to three quarters ahead in a pseudo-real time setup. All the models use information in monthly indicators released ahead of quarterly GDP. We estimate two models – averaged vector autoregressions and bridge equations – relying on just a few monthly indicators. The remaining four models condition the forecast on a large set of monthly series. These models comprise two standard principal components models, a dynamic factor model based on the Kalman smoother and a generalized dynamic factor model. We benchmark our results to the performance of a naïve model and the historical near-term forecasts of the Czech National Bank’s staff. The findings are also compared with a related study conducted by ECB staff (Barhoumi et al., 2008). In the Czech case, standard principal components is the most precise model overall up to three quarters ahead. However, the CNB staff’s historical forecasts were the most accurate one quarter ahead.Bridge models, dynamic factor models, GDP forecasting, principal components, real-time evaluation.

    Fonctionnalisation d’ (endo)fullerène : de la science des matériaux aux applications biomédicales

    We have synthesized different π-conjugated system-fullerene dyads for photovoltaic applications, where the donor units were either oligophenylenevinylene (OPV) or oligophenyleneethynylene (OPE) derivatives and for the acceptor, C60 or Y3N@C80 was used. There was an additional requirement for our materials: liquid crystallinity. All the donor units contained a mesogenic promoter in order to induce mesomorphism in the D-A dyad and to control the morphology of the prepared film through supramolecular organization. Apart from that, we investigated the effect of the chemical nature of the donor moiety (ie. lyophilic or amphiphilic), the oligomeric length and multiaddition on the photophysical properties and on the self-assembly. We have synthesized an OPE-Y3N@C80 dyad which is the first trimetallic nitride template endohedral metallofullerene derivative with mesomorphic and photoactive properties.Nous avons synthétisé différentes dyades donneurs-accepteurs (D-A) π-conjuguées à base de fullerène pour des applications photovoltaïques dans lesquelles les unités D étaient soit des oligophenylenevinylenes (OPV) soit des oligophenyleneethynylene (OPE) et les unités A étaient le C60 ou un endofullerène du type Y3N@C80. Il y avait une exigence supplémentaire pour nos matériaux, à savoir qu’ils devaient s’auto-organiser en phases liquides-cristallines. Pour ce faire, toutes les unités D contenaient un promoteur mésogène afin d'induire le mésomorphisme de la dyade D- et donc de contrôler la morphologie des couches minces nécessaires à l’élaboraiton des cellules photovoltaïques grâce à une organisation supramoléculaire. En dehors de cela, nous avons étudié l’influence de la nature chimique du donneur (par exemple lyophile ou amphiphile), de la longueur des oligomères et de la multiaddition sur les propriétés photophysiques et sur l'auto-assemblage. Nous avons synthétisé une dyade OPE-Y3N@C80 qui est le premier dérive mésomorphe et photosensible de ce type de métallofullerène endohédral
