O'Dea -- Information PleaseThe Happy Warrior was published January 1943 until January 1947. The Northern Light was published April 1949 until 1986. The Happy Warrior was created by Ted Meaney in an effort to educate Newfoundlanders about the spread of Tuberculosis. Ted Meaney went on to become the first full time secretary of the Newfoundland Tuberculosis Association (NTA), who began publishing The Northern Light in 1949. The NTA was established in 1944, and became The Newfoundland Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association in 1970. The name Newfoundland Lung Association (NLA) was adopted in 1982

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

A.e. convergence of spectral sums on Lie groups
No full textLet C be a right-invariant sub-Laplacian on a connected Lie group G, and let S(R)f:= integral(R)(0) dE(lambda)f, R >= 0, denote the associated "spherical partial sums," where L = integral(infinity)(0) lambda dE(lambda) is the spectral resolution of L. We prove that S(R)f(x) converges a.e. to f(x) as R -> infinity under the assumption log(2 + L)f is an element of L-2(G)
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Enhanced combined effects in aluminized explosives by an innovative initiation system
No full textA novel concept for enhancing performance from otherwise low-performance, insensitive energetic materials is suggested. The initiation mechanism, which is an essential feature of the concept, amplifies detonation pressure and resultant shaped charge jet velocity, responsible for effective energy increase and providing opportunities for achieving the combined effects of blast and directed energy. Attention is focused towards the use of aluminized explosives because of their blast potential and the degree of possible power amplification. In addition to strong bases of technical support, this study provides a plan for experimental demonstration and recommendations for addressing technology issues to more completely exploit the technology for precision strike and insensitive munitions.
Recent experimental demonstrations of this design mechanism validate simulation predictions, but high-pressure regime in-situ pressure measurement techniques have been unable to fully capture experimental pressure data due to the extreme environment produced by dynamic compression. New experimental techniques are discussed in order to better supply models with accurate experimental data and probe for precompression events that may provide insight into the hydrodynamic processes involved. With the goal of improving warhead performance reliability and penetrator stability, improvements towards modeling convergent detonation within non-ideal explosives are made. In detail, this work provides a critical assessment of previous contributors that have aimed to understand the intricate role of aluminum in prompt detonation for divergent and convergent schemes. This clarity addresses the predictive discrepancies of large-scale tests noted by LLNL, AFRL, NSWC-IH, and others. This work identifies the challenges centered around the size effect and the incomplete modeling of aluminum reactions. In order to better quantify the performance improvements of this new initiator design, revisions to equation of state thermochemical energy values are made that improve model consistency with detonation behavior and theory. Re-interpretations are provided for the standardization of cylinder expansion tests and its utility for non-ideal explosives. Finally, recommendations are provided to further characterize run-to-steady state detonation trends and investigate precompression phenomena within non-ideal explosives.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-08-01The student, Daniel Meaney, accepted the attached license on 2020-05-19 at 12:39.The student, Daniel Meaney, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2020-05-19 at 12:56.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2020-05-22 at 13:51.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15377 on 2020-10-02 at 15:48:46Made available in DSpace on 2020-10-07T22:48:03Z (GMT).

Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
