Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
Richard Nathaniel (R.N.) Hogan Interview - Tape 1
No full textRichard Nathaniel Hogan (1902 –1997)
R.N. Hogan was born in Monroe County, Arkansas. He was adopted by G.P. Bowser and attended the school at Silver Point for a brief time and then the Southern Practical Institute in Nashville. When the Bowser family moved to Louisville, Kentucky, he went with them and finished school there. His preaching took him to most of the fifty states and he was instrumental in starting many congregations. In the interview, he talks about his evangelistic work, particularly in Texas, Oklahoma, California, and Chicago. He was minister of the Figeroa Church of Christ in Los Angeles, California, for many years. Hogan was instrumental in the founding of Southwestern Christian College in Terrell, Texas, and served on the Board of Directors. He is the author of several books and articles, including Sermons (1940), and was editor of the Christian Echo beginning in 1953. A scholarship has been established in his name at Pepperdine University. In the interview, Hogan talks about the experience of his family with slavery, black and white relations in the beginning of some African American churches, his early memories of the Church, inter-racial relations, and disputes in the Church concerning the role of the Elders

Constructing tree decompositions of graphs with bounded gonality
No full textIn this paper, we give a constructive proof of the fact that the treewidth of a graph is at most its divisorial gonality. The proof gives a polynomial time algorithm to construct a tree decomposition of width at most k, when an effective divisor of degree k that reaches all vertices is given. We also give a similar result for two related notions: stable divisorial gonality and stable gonality.Accepted author manuscriptDiscrete Mathematics and Optimizatio
Sound Between Space
No full textThe building combines two distinct functions – physical connectivity as well as dancing school. The studios are integrated together with the pedestrian traffic linking and exposing general public to experience musical and physical vibration; the studios are of varying sizes resulting in vibration natural frequencies (sounds) unique to each studio. Circulation path, on the other hand, is composed of bridges, ramps and steady floors with unique to each structure vibration frequencies induced by human footsteps acting as an excitation force. This path also provides the rhythm of experience where sequence of zones arranged in a linear manner reflects the site’s dynamic character; these include the movement of sea waves, sun, sand dunes, boats, wind turbine as well as pedestrian traffic itself.Performing Arts - Dance SchoolArchitectural EngineeringArchitectur
Drawing of Mission Carmel (San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo), by Captain William Smyth, R.N., ca.1839
No full textPhotograph of a drawing of Mission Carmel (San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo), by Captain William Smyth, R.N., ca.1839. Two people sit next to a tall tree on a hill overlooking the mission. The mission has two bell towers flanking the façade of the church. To the left of the church is an arcade. Trails coming from the left and the right lead to the mission. To the right, past the road, are residential houses(?).; "The stone church at Carmel is different from all others in the chain, in that the walls taper inward forming a catenary arch, rather than the usual flat ceiling. On the exterior, the unique bell tower, with its outside stairway, shows definite Moorish influence. The great church was four years in the building, being dedicated in 1797. Father Serra now lies buried under the altar. The Indian population had dwindled by the 1820s. By 1836, two years after secularization, the destruction of mission life was complete. The church and quadrangle were essentially in ruins when the first efforts at restoration began in 1884. Then in 1931, a layman, Harry Downie, came to Carmel, as curator in charge of restoring the mission. From that time until his death in 1980, Harry dedicated his life to the California missions, working on numerous other restorations as well as at his beloved Carmel." -- unknown author
An analytical model for the propagation of bending waves on a plant stem due to vibration of an attached insect
No full textAbstractA mathematical model is presented to examine the propagation of bending waves on a plant stem that are induced by vibratory excitation from an attached insect. This idealized model represents the insect body as a mass and the legs as a linear spring along with a general time-varying force that is assumed to act in parallel with the spring. The spring connects the mass to a stem modeled as a beam having uniform geometric and material properties. The linearly elastic beam is assumed to undergo pure vibratory bending and to be infinitely long in each direction. The equations that govern the insect-induced, coupled motions of both the beam and the mass are solved for arbitrary time varying forces produced by the insect's legs. Solutions for the frequency response indicate that the response is dominated by frequency components near the natural resonant frequency of the attached insect while at higher frequencies the amplitude of the response is strongly influenced only by the properties of the stem
