Sixty Years of Community: St. Olaf Catholic Parish in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, 1952-2012
Full text linkThis paper will explore how the parish community of St. Olaf in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, established in 1952, reflects the Roman Catholic Church, specifically at the local, state, and national levels in the United States. It will also discuss the various changes that have occurred in the past 60 years of its history in terms of the various locations of worship for the members, the growth of the community outreach programs, and the effects of the Second Vatican Council. This ecumenical council was a meeting of Catholic bishops from around the whole that brought reform to the Catholic Church and affected the relationship of the Catholic Church to the world. The parish at St. Olaf has grown from having only 125 families in 1952 to over 1,000 families in 2012
Multi-Level Light Capture Control in Plants and Green Algae
No full textLife on Earth relies on photosynthesis, and the ongoing depletion of fossil carbon fuels has renewed interest in phototrophic light-energy conversion processes as a blueprint for the conversion of atmospheric CO2 into various organic compounds. Light-harvesting systems have evolved in plants and green algae, which are adapted to the light intensity and spectral composition encountered in their habitats. These organisms are constantly challenged by a fluctuating light supply and other environmental cues affecting photosynthetic performance. Excess light can be especially harmful, but plants and microalgae are equipped with different acclimation mechanisms to control the processing of sunlight absorbed at both photosystems. We summarize the current knowledge and discuss the potential for optimization of phototrophic light-energy conversion
Northern Rover: The Life Story of Olaf Hanson
No full textFrom 1919 to 1970, Olaf Hanson was a trapper, fur trader, prospector, game guardian, fisherman, and road blasting expert in northeastern Saskatchewan. He told his life story to popular Saskatchewan author A. L. Karras, who wrote this historical memoir in the 1980s. In an uncompromising, straightforward style, Karras and Hanson reveal the geography, wildlife, natural history of the region as well as the business and social interactions between people. Their book offers a look at the vanished subsistence and commercial economy of the boreal forest, wound around a fascinating personal story of courage and physical stamina

Analysing the performance of the OLAF framework in the context of identifying music in movies
No full textThis paper presents the findings of a benchmark performed on the audio fingerprinting framework OLAF in the context of movie music. The goal is to find a music identification framework suitable for automatically identifying a song from a movie clip. This research aims to find how well OLAF performs in this context with regard to the criteria determined in the benchmark and to see if the performance can be increased. The OLAF framework makes use of parameters, which are individually tweaked and benchmarked with synthesised data. These findings are then combined to find a set of parameters that is used to perform this same benchmark on real clips from movies. The found parameter setup slightly increased the performance, going from 1 true positive and 133 false negatives in the original setup to 5 true positives, 3 false positives and 126 false negatives.CSE3000 Research ProjectComputer Science and Engineerin
