Letter from Florence M. Hurley to Governor Langer Requesting a Lake Entrance in Kidder County, ND, May 9, 1932
No full textIn this letter, dated May 9, 1932, from Florence M. Hurley on behalf of the Civic Improvement League of Pettibone, ND and Vicinity, to North Dakota Governor William Langer, Hurley requests a new access to Iowa Lake in Kidder County near the towns of Pettibone, Robinson, Lake Williams, and Woodworth. This new entrance would allow better access to the frequently visited lake and would be compatible with the planned construction of new bath houses near the lake as well.https://commons.und.edu/langer-papers/1118/thumbnail.jp

Physical Analogies for Ear Recognition
No full textHurley et al [1,2,3] have developed a pair of invertible linear transforms called the force field transform and potential energy transform which transforms an ear image into a force field by pretending that pixels have a mutual attraction proportional to their intensities and inversely to the square of the distance between them rather like Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. Underlying this force field there is an associated potential energy field which in the case of an ear takes the form of a smooth surface with a number of peaks joined by ridges. The peaks correspond to potential energy wells and to extend the analogy the ridges correspond to potential energy channels. Since the transform also turns out to be invertible, all of the original information is preserved and since the otherwise smooth surface is modulated by these peaks and ridges, it is argued that much of the information is transferred to these features and that therefore they should make good features. An analysis of the mechanism of this algorithmic field line feature extraction approach leads to a more powerful method called convergence feature extraction based on the divergence of force direction revealing even more information in the form of anti-wells and anti-channels
Erebomyia ramseyensis Hurley & Runyon, n. sp.
No full textErebomyia ramseyensis Hurley & Runyon, n. sp. (Figs. 5, 8) Description. Male: Body length: 3.0– 3.5 mm; Wing 2.5 –3.0 mm x 1.25–1.50 mm. Head: Face dense dark gray pollinose; obliterated broadly near midpoint by encroaching eyes; narrow, recessed on lower one-fifth. Vertex blue-green, with moderately dense gray pollen. Ocellar setae long, subequal in size to dc setae. Outer verticals one-half to two-thirds length of ocellar setae. Palpus small, yellow-brown, triangular, with dark hairs. Scape cylindrical, long (length equal to length of first flagellomere), yellow to yellow-brown. Pedicel yellow to yellow-brown. First flagellomere elongate triangular (length 2 times width), with apex rather rounded. Thorax: Mesonotum dark brown, with blue and/or green reflections; with sparse rusty-gray pollen. Pleura blue-green with moderately dense gray pollen. Dorsal metepisternum often brown; metepimeron blue-green dorsally. Postpronotal hairs relatively short. Proepisternum with 2–3 short, pale, hairs on upper half, 2 similarsized hairs on lower half. Thorax with 6–10 slender ac, about one-half length of dc setae. Legs: Coxa I anteriorly with sparse, very short yellow hairs. Tibia II with long ad setae at 1 / 3 and 2 / 3; with long pd seta near 1 / 3. Tibia III with all setae short (less than or equal to width of tibia III); with 0–2 ad setae; row of 4–6 dorsal setae; with 4–6 very short ventral setae. Tarsomere I(2–4) slightly flattened ventrally. Ratios of tibia:tarsomeres for leg I: 16 - 12 - 5 - 3 - 3 - 2; for leg II: 20 - 14 - 6 - 4 - 3 - 2; for leg III: 27 - 6-10 - 5 - 3 - 2. Wing (Fig. 5): veins R 2 + 3 and R 4 + 5 slightly divergent, crowded anteriorly and ending well before wing tip; M 1 undulating beyond posterior crossvein, with sharp anterior bend near apex. Costa irregularly thickened beyond R 4 + 5; with short, erect hairs and long, hooked cilia between tips of R 4 + 5 and M 1 (longest equal to length of posterior crossvein); these cilia more or less fused apically into various hooked clumps, most notably at two places: just beyond R 4 + 5 with resulting compound, hooked “seta” projecting dorsally, and just before M 1 which projects anteriorly. Abdomen: dark brown with extensive paler areas on T 2, T 3, sometimes T 4. T 2 laterally with long, slender yellow to brown setae. Hypopygium (Fig. 8); cerci very slightly narrowed apically, with 1 long seta at apex and 1–2 long setae just before apex. Female: Body length: 3.25–3.5 mm; wing: 3.5–3.75 mm x 1.50–1.75 mm. Can be distinguished from all other species by the short preapical anterior seta on femur III which is less than width of femur at insertion. Etymology: Erebomyia ramseyensis is named for Ramsey Canyon in southeastern Arizona, the type locality. The Nature Conservancy graciously permitted us to collect in their Ramsey Canyon preserve, and the majority of specimens were taken there.
