Letter from Seth Low
No full textWhittier House scrapbooks document Whittier House programs, events, and anniversary celebrations through newspaper clippings, lecture fliers, newsletters, event programs, and ticket stubs. Newspaper clippings are primarily from the Jersey Journal. There is also Whittier House fundraising materials, including pamphlets, appeal letters, brochures, and postcards. The Whittier House Social Settlement, the first settlement house in New Jersey, was established in Jersey City, N.J. (Hudson County) in 1894. Founded by Cornelia Foster Bradford, who would remain with the organization as headworker until 1926, Whittier House was based on the settlement house, Toynbee Hall, in England. Whittier House provided various recreational and educational programs, along with much needed social services, for the immigrant populations of Jersey City. Many of these successful services were used as models for large-scale social reform movements through the state. In 1935, the Whittier House was taken over by the Boys' Club of Jersey City
Notes on low degree L-data
No full textThese notes are an extended version of a talk given by the author at the conference Analytic Number Theory and Related Areas held at Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Kyoto University in November 2015. We are interested in L‐data, an axiomatic framework for L\sim‐functions introduced by Andrew Booker in 2013 [3]. Associated to each L‐datum, one has a real number invariant known as the degree. Conjecturally the degree d is an integer, and if d\in \mathrm{N} then the L‐datum is that of a
mathrm{G}\mathrm{L}_{n}(\mathrm{A}_{F}) ‐automorphic
representation for n\in \mathrm{N} and a number field F (if F=\mathbb{Q} , then n=d This statement was shown to be true for 0\displaystyle \leq d<\frac{5}{3} by Booker in his pioneering paper [3], and in these notes we consider an extension of his methods to 0\leq d<2. This is simultaneously a generalisation of Booker’s result and the results and techniques of Kaczorowski‐Pereli in the Selberg class
[10]. Furthermore, we consider applications to zeros of automorphic L-‐functions. In these notes we review Booker’s results and announce new ones to appear elsewhere shortly
The stability of IQ in people with low intellectual ability: an analysis of the literature
No full textA meta-analysis of the stability of low IQ (IQ 80) was performed on IQ tests that have been
commonly used—tests that were derived by D. Wechsler (1949, 1955, 1974, 1981, 1991, 1997)
and those based on the Binet scales (L. M. Terman, 1960; L. M. Terman & Merrill, 1972). Weighted-
mean stability coefficients of .77 and .78 were found for Verbal IQ (V IQ) and Performance IQ
(P IQ) on the Wechsler tests and .82 for Full-Scale IQ (FS IQ) on both Wechsler and Binet tests,
for a mean test–retest interval of 2.8 years. Although the majority of FS IQs changed by less than
6 points, 14% changed by 10 points or more. The author suggests that the results of IQ assessment
should be treated with more caution than previously thought
The 2D/3D dynamics of wall-bounded low-Rm magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence
No full textWith this experimental study, we give evidence that the dynamics of low-Rm MHD turbulence depends on the diffusion length l_z, which corresponds to the distance over which the Lorentz force is able to diffuse momentum before it is balanced by inertia
Social contacts in Switzerland during the COVID-19 pandemic: Insights from the CoMix study
No full textTo mitigate the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the Swiss government enacted restrictions on social contacts from 2020 to 2022. In addition, individuals changed their social contact behavior to limit the risk of COVID-19. In this study, we aimed to investigate the changes in social contact patterns of the Swiss population. As part of the CoMix study, we conducted a survey consisting of 24 survey waves from January 2021 to May 2022. We collected data on social contacts and constructed contact matrices for the age groups 0–4, 5–14, 15–29, 30–64, and 65 years and older. We estimated the change in contact numbers during the COVID-19 pandemic to a synthetic pre-pandemic contact matrix. We also investigated the association of the largest eigenvalue of the social contact and transmission matrices with the stringency of pandemic measures, the effective reproduction number (Re), and vaccination uptake. During the pandemic period, 7084 responders reported an average number of 4.5 contacts (95% confidence interval, CI: 4.5–4.6) per day overall, which varied by age and survey wave. Children aged 5–14 years had the highest number of contacts with 8.5 (95% CI: 8.1–8.9) contacts on average per day and participants that were 65 years and older reported the fewest (3.4, 95% CI: 3.2–3.5) per day. Compared with the pre-pandemic baseline, we found that the 15–29 and 30–64 year olds had the largest reduction in contacts. We did not find statistically significant associations between the largest eigenvalue of the social contact and transmission matrices and the stringency of measures, Re, or vaccination uptake. The number of social contacts in Switzerland fell during the COVID-19 pandemic and remained below pre-pandemic levels after contact restrictions were lifted. The collected social contact data will be critical in informing modeling studies on the transmission of respiratory infections in Switzerland and to guide pandemic preparedness efforts
Symbol-Flipping Based Decoding of Generalized Low-Density Parity-Check Coded Constructed over GF(q)
No full textAn efficient symbol-flipping based decoding algorithm designed for nonbinary Generalized Low-Density Parity-Check (GLDPC) codes is proposed. By extending the concept of the Weighted Bit Flip Voting (WBFV) algorithm designed for binary Hamming-code based GLDPC codes, the symbol-flipping decoding algorithm can be beneficially employed for decoding the family of GLDPC codes constructed from nonbinary constituent codes, such as nonbinary Bose Chaudhuri Hocquenghem (BCH) codes or Reed Solomon (RS) codes. The simulation results demonstrate that improvements of 1 dB and 2.7 dB are achieved by the proposed coding scheme in comparison to the more conventional binary GLDPC codes using the WBFV decoding algorithm, when using the Galois Field GF(32) for communicating over AWGN and uncorrelated Rayleigh fading channels, respectively
Space-time reconstruction of finely resolved velocities of turbulent flows from low resolution measurements
No full textA model is developed to reconstruct the High-Temporal-High-Spatial (HTHS) resolution velocities of a wall bounded turbulent flow combining two sources of measured data: the Low-Temporal-High-Spatial (LTHS) and the High-Temporal-Low-Spatial (HTLS) resolution measurements. Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) database of a turbulent channel flow is used. LTHS and HTLS are subsampled (in time or space) from the fully resolved data. A fusion model is constructed in Bayesian framework using a Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimation. By maximizing the posterior probability of desired HTHS conditional on LTHS and HTLS, the model estimates the most probable fields knowing the measurements. Reconstructed velocities are compared to the reference to qualify the fusion model and to those by conventional Linear Stochastic Estimation (LSE) and interpolation methods to demonstrate its robustness
HENRY MARTIN committed an assault upon W. L. Schuch
No full textWanted for Assault to Murder!
HENRY MARTIN committed an assault upon W. L. Schuch, an old man, Friday, Nov. 15, 1895, with a heavy molder’s ladle, crushing the skull, and the doctors pronounce it fatal. He escaped from here same night. He ls a molder by trade and will look for this work, ls a member of Unions and will seek relief through them as he had but little money when he left and that with a brown overcoat was furnished him by Molders here. Was wearing black suit, soft black hat, percale shirt without collar, small, red stripe In shirt, and ls believed to have brown overcoat.
