Chalcogenide-based phase-change metamaterials
No full textPhase-change metamaterials combine the sharp resonant dispersions afforded by metamaterials with the optical switching characteristics of phase-change chalcogenides to create a high-contrast, non-volatile planar optical modulator. Spectroscopic ellipsometry was used to accurately determine the highly-contrasting complex dielectric functions of the amorphous and crystalline states of GST, an amorphous chalcogenide. This data was then used to model a phase-change metamaterial hybrid device in both phases,which showed a large wavelength shift in resonant spectral features on crystallisation of the chalcogenide layer. Femtosecond pulse-induced crystallisation and amorphisation of thin films of GST was shown to be possible, and the crystalline fraction in the material was shown to be continuously tunable. Femtosecond pulses were then used to reversibly switch a phase-change metamaterial device to modulate the trapped mode resonance. Modelling of an all-dielectric phase-change metamaterial structure indicated that larger optical modulation may be realised by changing the phase of the resonant structure itself
Letter from Walter Maddock to Senator Langer Regarding James Hall\u27s Letter Regarding FHA Interest, February 28, 1947
No full textThis letter dated February 28, 1947, from Walter Maddock to United States Senator William Langer, responds to Langer\u27s previous letter regarding James Hall\u27s inquiry about waiving FHA interest for people in Elbowoods, North Dakota. Maddock notes that he has been in communication with Hall and the Tribal Council on this matter, and Maddock says that due to complicating factors a decision cannot be made at this time.

Wetlands, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Spatial Modelling
No full textGeographical Information Systems (GIS) and spatial modelling play a vital role in the research and management of wetlands. This chapter examines the integration of GIS and spatial modelling in wetland studies, emphasising its applications in wetland mapping and classification, hydrological modelling, habitat assessment, biodiversity conservation and restoration, and socio-economic analysis. By utilising software such as ArcGIS and QGIS, researchers can analyse complex datasets, detect environmental changes, and assess the impacts of climate change on these valuable ecosystems. Challenges such as data availability and the requirement of high-resolution data are discussed, along with emerging technologies like drones for enhanced monitoring capabilities
Letter from Walter Maddock to Senator Langer Regarding Loans on the Fort Berthold Reservation, January 28, 1947
No full textThis letter dated January 28, 1947, from North Dakota Farmers Home Administration (FHA) Director Walter Maddock to United States (US) Senator William Langer marks the receipt of correspondence from Langer in regard to a letter from Commissioner of the Office of Indian Affairs Walter V. Woehlke which requests the renewal of the services of the FHA on the Fort Berthold Reservation. Maddock writes that he believes “no action is required on our part, and that we must wait direction from the Washington office with which you are in contact.” Maddock adds that if the FHA “is privileged and directed to renew our loaning activities on the reservation, we will be very happy to give them every possible service this agency may provide.” The letter is marked with the handwritten annotation “Fort Berthold Reservation.”https://commons.und.edu/langer-papers/1840/thumbnail.jp
The Routledge Handbook of Wetlands
No full textThis handbook provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary overview of the place, value and significance of wetlands, presenting perspectives from across the environmental and social sciences.
Recent decades have witnessed unprecedented global interest in wetlands and the critical role they play in supporting biodiversity and ecosystem services such as carbon storage, flood mitigation, as well as their direct benefits for people and society that include the provision of food, clean water and a range of cultural services. This Routledge Handbook of Wetlands brings together a wide range of perspectives from social and environmental disciplines, and voices from different wetland stakeholders from the global north and south, to present an assessment of our current understanding of wetlands, their environmental significance, and their place in society and policy. A recurring theme of the book is an exploration of how our current knowledge of wetlands, that is often fragmented along traditional disciplinary lines, can be brought together to enable a more integrated, interdisciplinary and social-ecological conceptualisation that aligns more closely with real-world complex challenges, and which offers new directions in wetland management for sustainable development.
This handbook will be essential reading for students and scholars of wetland management, environmental science, water resource management, conservation ecology, environmental humanities and sustainable development
Letter from Walter Maddock to Cal Ward Regarding FHA Loans to Fort Berthold Families Effected by the Garrison Dam, February 28, 1947
No full textThis letter dated February 28, 1947, from State Farmer’s Home Administration Director Walter Maddock to Regional FHA Director Cal Ward, highlights the notes from a February 17, 1949 United States (US) Department of Agriculture meeting. The February 17, 1947 notes are enclosed within Maddock’s letter from February 28, 1949. The US Department of Agriculture notes from the February 17, 1949 meeting pertain to “a joint meeting between Representatives of the Fort Berthold Indian Agency and the FHA.” The notes from this February 17, 1949 meeting discuss how “there are between 30 and 40 Indian families living on the reservation who need loans,” the average loan each of these families should receive, and the number of livestock each family should have to “make it a go.” Maddock states in the February 17, 1949 notes he cannot make any determination and will have to discuss the matter with regional officials. The February 17, 1949 notes conclude with a list of six details to look into. Attendees of the February 17, 1949 meeting include Ben Reifel, George Gillette, Elmer Gahley, James Hall, Walter Maddock, A.Q. Stine, O. Lenard Orvedal, and Maruice Switzer.
This letter contains handwritten annotations, including “Indians,” “Langer,” and “file.”
