CARDAMOM 2001-2010 global carbon Model-Data Fusion (MDF) analysis
No full textThe CARbon DAta MOdel fraMework (CARDAMOM; Bloom et al., 2015 in review) outputs are derived from a global 1-degree x 1-degree 2001-2010 model-data fusion (MDF) analysis. The datasets include allocation fractions (AF) residence times (RT), mean carbon pool stocks (CP) and fluxes (FL). A list of files and their contents is provided below.
The Data Assimilation Linked Ecosystem Carbon model version 2 (DALEC2) and the Markov Chain Monte Carlo MDF algorithm are described by Bloom & Williams (2015); the fire module is described by Bloom et al., (2015; in review). Data constraints used in the CARDAMOM analysis consist of MODIS leaf area index (LAI), Harmonised World Soil Database (HWSD; Hiederer & Kochy, 2012) and tropical biomass (Saatchi et al., 2011). For each 1-degree x 1-degree gridcell, the metrics (e.g. mean, median, etc.) are based on 4000 DALEC2 model parameter samples unique to that grid-cell.
We note that the full 2001-2010 CARDAMOM output amounts to roughly 10 TB in binary format. For the sake of brevity, we have limited the following datasets to the subset presented in Bloom et al., (2015, in review). Additional MDF outputs can be made available upon request.

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Data assimilation linked ecosystem carbon model, version 2
No full textDALEC2 is an intermediate complexity model of terrestrial carbon cycling. DALEC2 ("Data assimilation linked ecosystem carbon model, version 2") resolves gross primary production; its allocation to labile, foliar, wood and fine root pools; the turnover and mortality of these pools, generating dead organic matter; the mineralisation of dead organic matter in litter and soil. DALEC2 operates at daily-monthly timescales, and requires as input daily max and min temperature, total daily shortwave radiation, atmospheric CO2 concentration and day of year. DALEC2 has 6 C pools, 17 fluxes, and 17 parameters. The GPP model is ACM, a sub-model that has 10 parameters - 9 of these are fixed, and one is a common parameter with DALEC2

[Letter] July 5, [1813], Quincy (Mass.) [to] Mathew Carey, Esquire / John Adams.
No full textDate written as 1513; hand written note reads "Rec\u27d July 10." See also Adams\u27 biography and the research collections of his papers (http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=A000039).Adams explains to Mathew Carey that he is sending papers delivered to him by John Marston and vouches for their authenticity. He requests that a particular letter by Captain Hoisted [Hoystead] Hacker be returned to him and describes John Marston as an ardent supporter of the views of Mathew Carey and Mr. Clark. Adams mentions Captain Simpson and relates that Simpson served as the First Lieutenant of Captain John Paul Jones when he captured a twenty-gun ship (HMS Drake) in 1778. Adams remarks that Captain Simpson\u27s name "ought to be more known in History than it is." Adams asks that Carey question Captain Jonathan Williams if he differs in that sentiment, and states that he will dispute the matter with him. In 1778, Captain John Paul Jones arrested his Lieutenant Thomas Simpson for disobedience shortly after the mentioned capture of the HMS Drake while aboard the Ranger. Jones only dropped the charges after much correspondence with Adams and the other statesmen stationed in France, finally allowing Simpson to take command of the Ranger, while he went on to command the Bonhomme Richard. Jonathon Williams was a commercial and diplomatic agent in France at the time of the Drake\u27s capture and, along with his great uncle, Benjamin Franklin, he was a supporter of John Paul Jones. Thomas Simpson is often characterized as a fiery and mutinous lieutenant, but Adams suggests in his autobiography (1802-1807) that "the arbitrary Conduct of Jones was the cause of great Injustice to him." Adams served as a Member of the Continental Congress, signed the Declaration of Independence, and was the first Vice President of the United States during George Washington\u27s term of office; he was elected President and served from 1797-1801. He is the father of John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States. Mathew Carey, a Philadelphia based publisher, published Thomas Clark\u27s _Naval History_ (1813, 1814) and received frequent suggestions from Adams while expanding this work for its second edition. John Marston, who was a midshipman at the time, would eventually became a rear-admiral and would have a continued relationship with John Adams, being one of the last people to see the former president before his death
