ALS, 4 p. (1 sheet, folded)Acknowledging receipt of G.W.'s letter, and apologizing for having lost touch with him, expressing his affection for him and regret for not having a chance to pay a farewell call before his company was ordered to leave Lafayette. Story of an ambush and resulting skirmish
Letter, 1870 Dec. 30, Bethlehem, Penn., to George Winter
No full textHandwritten letter
From: Charles M. Wetherill, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Dec. 30,1870
To: George Winter
ALS, 2 p. (1 sheet, folded)Responding to G.W.'s queries regarding the Slocum family; they are moderately well off and would not be likely to heavily patronize the arts, although they might buy a couple of paintings of Frances. Sorry that G.W. has been unable to have his Indian MS printed; perhaps the Smithsonian would help

From: James R.M. Bryant, Bloomington, February 6, 1858
To: George Winter, Lafayette
ALS, 2 p. (one sheet)Discussion of some money Bryant owes G.W. and the riskiness of sending money by mail. Regarding some prominent figures connected with the Pottawattamis: Sin-a-ga-wa (a great orator), Father Petit (the circumstances of his death, the hardships of the emigration march), Pawk-shuk or young Aub-be-naub-be (a "savage" who killed his own father and wounded his wife), Pash-po (a great dandy). Some stories of his acquaintance with these Indians, expecially on the emigration. Has no time to deal with G.W.'s Indian sketches at that point

Characterization of brain malformations in the Baraitser-Winter syndrome and review of the literature
No full textBaraitser-Winter syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by developmental delay, dysmorphic features, and multiple malformations also involving the brain. We report a further case and provide updated information about an unrelated girl reported in the original paper by Baraitser and Winter. Both of them presented with pachygyria and the latter case was recently found to have subcortical band heterotopia on high resolution brain MRI imaging. These two patients and a review of the previously reported cases indicate that a specific pattern of brain anomalies falling in the agyria-pachygyria-band spectrum is associated with this dysmorphic syndrome, which may be considered another example of syndromic neuronal migration defect
Intern experience at CH���M Hill, Inc.: an internship report
No full textIncludes author's vita"Submitted to the College of Engineering of Texas A&M University in partial
fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Engineering."Includes bibliographical referencesA review of the author's internship experience with CH���M HILL, Inc.
during the period September 1975 through May 1976 is presented. During this nine month
internship the author worked as an Engineer II in the Industrial Processes discipline of this
large consulting engineering firm... The author's prime responsibility was as one of three
lead design engineers on the design of a large wastewater treatment facility for a pulp mill
in Hoquiam, Washington owned by ITT Rayonier Inc. The work generally consisted of the design
of individual treatment units and associated piping and pumping. The purpose of the project
was to provide wastewater treatment capabilities that would satisfy the effluent limitations
(standards) imposed upon the mill by the State of Washington Department of Ecology and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The author's assignment also entailed necessary
interaction with the project manager and other CH���M HILL design engineers and support staff
members, the client's representatives, and representatives of two other consulting engineering
firms working on the project. Thus, the internship position at CH���M HILL provided considerable
experience coordinating the author's work with the work of other engineers, guiding the design
and administrative efforts of a support staff, and interacting regularly with the client and
other consulting firms. This broad exposure to a variety of engineering and organizational
problems provided a valuable educational experience
Controls on winter ecosystem respiration in temperate and boreal ecosystems
No full textWinter CO2 fluxes represent an important component of the annual carbon budget in northern ecosystems. Understanding winter respiration processes and their responses to climate change is also central to our ability to assess terrestrial carbon cycle and climate feedbacks in the future. However, the factors influencing the spatial and temporal patterns of winter ecosystem respiration (Reco) of northern ecosystems are poorly understood. For this reason, we analyzed eddy covariance flux data from 57 ecosystem sites ranging from ~35° N to ~70° N. Deciduous forests were characterized by the highest winter Reco rates (0.90 ± 0.39 g C m-2 d-1), when winter is defined as the period during which daily air temperature remains below 0 °C. By contrast, arctic wetlands had the lowest winter Reco rates (0.02 ± 0.02 g C m-2 d-1). Mixed forests, evergreen needle-leaved forests, grasslands, croplands and boreal wetlands were characterized by intermediate winter Reco rates (g C m-2 d-1) of 0.70(±0.33), 0.60(±0.38), 0.62(±0.43), 0.49(±0.22) and 0.27(±0.08), respectively. Our cross site analysis showed that winter air (Tair) and soil (Tsoil) temperature played a dominating role in determining the spatial patterns of winter Reco in both forest and managed ecosystems (grasslands and croplands). Besides temperature, the seasonal amplitude of the leaf area index (LAI), inferred from satellite observation, or growing season gross primary productivity, which we use here as a proxy for the amount of recent carbon available for Reco in the subsequent winter, played a marginal role in winter CO2 emissions from forest ecosystems. We found that winter Reco sensitivity to temperature variation across space (QS) was higher than the one over time (interannual, QT). This can be expected because QS not only accounts for climate gradients across sites but also for (positively correlated) the spatial variability of substrate quantity. Thus, if the models estimate future warming impacts on Reco based on QS rather than QT, this could overestimate the impact of temperature change
IJsverslag: Winter 1963-1964, Winter 1964-1965, Winter 1965-1966 en Winter 1966-1967
No full textWinter 1963-1964 De winter was wat de maanden december, januari en maart betreft aan de koude kant. Vier vorstperioden, met ijsvorming op alle vaarwegen. De winter bedroeg in De Bilt 76 vorstdagen (min. temperatuur onder 0 graden) en 18 ijsdagen (max. temperatuur onder 0 graden). In de eerste twee ijsperioden ondervond de scheepvaart vrij veel hinder van het ijs. Van 23 december tot 26 december was de ijstoestand zodanig, dat alleen nog op de kanalen in het westen, midden en zuiden van het land vaart, in beperkte maten, mogelijk was. Winter 1964-1965 Deze winter was wat betreft de maanden december en maart aan de koude kant. Er waren twee ijsperioden. De winter bedroeg in De Bilt 67 vorstdagen (min. temperatuur onder 0 graden) en 7 ijsdagen (max. temperatuur onder 0 graden). Er was ijsvorming op de meeste kanalen, het IJsselmeer en de Waddenzee. De scheepvaart ondervond enige hinder van het ijs, maar uiteindelijk zijn geen van de grote kanalen gestremd geweest. Winter 1965-1966 In de winter zijn er drie ijsperioden geweest, nl 17 t/m 18 november (periode A), 10 t/m 31 januari (periode B) en 11 t/m 23 februari (periode C). In de perioden A en C werd er geen grote hinder ondervonden voor de scheepvaart op de grote kanalen. In periode B (januari) kwam vrijwel op alle vaarwegen ijs voor. De meeste van deze kanalen waren voor enige tijd gestremd. Belangrijke kanalen konden open gehouden worden m.b.v. ijsbrekers. Het ijs op de grote rivieren was echter van geen grote betekenis. De winter bedroeg in De Bilt 65 vorstdagen (min. temperatuur onder 0 graden) en 19 ijsdagen (max. temperatuur onder 0 graden). Winter 1966-1967 In de winter was er één ijsperiode van 7 t/m 12 januari. De scheepvaart heeft hier praktisch geen hinder van ondervonden. De winter bedroeg in De Bilt 31 vorstdagen (min. temperatuur onder 0 graden) en 2 ijsdagen (max. temperatuur onder 0 graden).IJsversla
