Trip account
No full textTrip account - AMs, 15 pp.
“I am attempting to give you some account of a recent vacation trip which we were privileged to enjoy - Rose, Mother and I…” As the account of the trip to view the eclipse is unsigned, we can’t say for sure but as the author states “Rose, Mother and I” one could logically assume that the author is a sibling of T. Rose Curtis
ROSE POLY and ME A Memoir
No full textAuthor discusses his time as an engineering student and football player (1955-59), and then football coach, track coach, athletic director, instructor and then assistant professor of civil engineering at Rose Polytechnic Institute (now Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology) (1962-64). As a football player in 1958, he led the nation in scoring with 168 points in 8 games. Sixty-two years later, the 168 points continues to be the record for points in a season by an Indiana college football player. His 21.0 points per game were the national record for thirty years (1958-88) until broken by Barry Sanders of Oklahoma State. In 1957 and 1958, the Rose Poly football team won fifteen games in a row over two seasons while the defense held opponents to 5.4 points per game. In 1958, the team led the NCAA Division II in defense holding opponents to 95.8 yards per game and a total of 31 points (3.9 points per game). As the football coach, he rescued the team from a disastrous previous year in which the team lost all of its games and scored only six points. The author concludes with his afterthoughts on his alma mater after a career of more than 60 years in engineering education.https://scholar.rose-hulman.edu/alum_pub/1003/thumbnail.jp
Trove: Innovation in Access to Information in Australia

Finding information just got easier for many Australians. Exploring a wealth of resources and digital content like never before, including full-text books, journals and newspaper articles, images, music, sound, video, maps, Web sites, diaries, letters, archives, people and organisations has been an exciting adventure for users and the service has been heavily used. Finding and retrieving instantly information in context; interacting with content and social engagement are core features of the service. This article describes Trove features, usage, content building, and its applications for contributors and users in the national context
Did Plant Patents Create the American Rose?
No full textThe Plant Patent Act of 1930 was the first step towards creating property rights for biological innovation: it introduced patent rights for asexually-propagated plants. This paper uses data on plant patents and registrations of new varieties to examine whether the Act encouraged innovation. Nearly half of all plant patents between 1931 and 1970 were for roses. Large commercial nurseries, which began to build mass hybridization programs in the 1940s, accounted for most of these patents, suggesting that the new intellectual property rights may have helped to encourage the development of a commercial rose breeding industry. Data on registrations of newly-created roses, however, yield no evidence of an increase in innovation: less than 20 percent of new roses were patented, European breeders continued to create most new roses, and there was no increase in the number of new varieties per year after 1931.

Come & Go
No full textCome & Go was exhibited at The Lowry Jan 2016 as a prototype dual-screen, interactive video installation. It was installed in the Studio Theatre and ran alongside the first digital exhibition in The Lowry Galleries: Right here Right Now (Thompson and Craighead, Timo Arnall and Eva and Franco Mattes).
This installation was the first stage of production, technical development and interactive testing. It was curated for exhibition as part of Everything Flows, Museums of Sheffield (June - August 2017) by Jeanine Griffin.
The work references Edison’s early films of The Serpentine Dance made in the 1920s. Its subject matter and execution alludes to analogue technique, now reworked for new media. Filmed from above in high resolution slow motion, the image presents a contemporary image and point of view.
The audience is detected by surveillance on gaming cameras, and through their movement, alter the speed of image playback from slow motion to real time. This creates a play of move and counter-move, enabling the audience to switch between that of viewer to viewed. The technique and aesthetics of the artwork considers the shift between physical and digital media and the edges of spaces. It presents imagery which references drones, flight, entrapment, states of limbo and prompts questions surrounding location, dialogue or combat.
A collaborative artists print publication with artist-writer Emma Cocker (NTU) accompanies this work.
The catalogue publication is available with review by Oliver Basciano (Art Review). The work was reviewed in Art Monthly (July 2017).
The work received an honorary award as part of the Surveilllance Studies inaugural arts prize and was presented at the Surveillance Studies Biennale (2018)

A Comparison of Cryptography Courses
No full textThe author taught two courses on cryptography, one at Duke University aimed at non-mathematics majors and one at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology aimed at mathematics and computer science majors. Both tried to incorporate technical and societal aspects of cryptography, with varying emphases. This paper will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of both courses and compare the differences in the author\u27s approach
