Mercer 5: A probable new globular cluster in the Galactic bulge
No full textWe present a detailed study of a dust-obscured Galactic star cluster Mercer 5 ([MCM2005b] 5) in an extremely crowded field in the Milky Way. Near-infrared (near-IR) photometry from United Kingdom Infrared Digital Sky Surveys (UKIDSS) and the Son of ISAAC on the New Technology Telescope (SofI/NTT), combined with near-IR spectroscopy also from SofI, indicates that it is almost certainly a Galactic globular cluster, located at the edge of the Galactic bulge. The cluster suffers ~9 mag of visual extinction, with strong evidence for an extinction gradient across the cluster. A simulation of the differential reddening in the cluster using empirical data from NGC 6539 (chosen because it had high signal-to-noise ratio data and low field star contamination) as a template mimics the observations extremely well. This simulation and other arguments are used to indicate that the most prominent clump of stars in the colour-magnitude diagrams is a horizontal branch clump. On this basis we conclude that the cluster is at a distance of ~5.5kpc and suffers from visual extinction ranging from ~8.5 to ~12.5 mag. Alternative explanations for its nature, such as a young cluster or an old open cluster, are much less likely, on the grounds of no visible main sequence or stars with IR excesses for the former and location versus lifetime arguments for the latter. © 2011 The Authors Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society © 2011 RAS
Edward Mercer Cunningham Store Ledger
No full textEdward Mercer Cunningham, born November 15, 1795, was one of the early merchants of Antigonish. He bought the store from R. H. Henry, father of William A. Henry Father of Confederation. [Information from handwritten notes in front of ledger.] The ledger was donated to the Angus L. Macdonald Library by Eileen Cameron Henry. The ledger records purchases in the time period 1827 to 1832
Economic Contribution of the Trenton-Mercer Airport
No full textIn 2016, the Rutgers Economic Advisory Service group (R/ECON™) of Rutgers University prepared the second Economic Impact Report of the Trenton Mercer Airport (commissioned by Mercer County’s Office of Economic Development and Sustainability). It follows and expands upon a preceding study conducted for Mercer County’s Division of Economic Development in November 2006.
This study analyzes the contribution of the Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN) to the Mercer County economy using the following direct sources of economic activity:
•Airport operating expenditures: These mainly account for the people employed to administer and operate the Airport. Operating expenditures also create jobs supported by the purchasing of supplies and materials, as well as spending on contractual services and utilities.
•Capital investments: These are made to improve the Airport’s facilities and support local jobs. Note that capital investments are not perpetual, thus their economic impacts only occur when improvement projects take place.
•Tenant expenditures: The sum of all the spending incurred by airport tenants to operate their respective businesses. This formula only includes tenants that provide aviation services or provide goods and services to airport users.
•Visitor expenditures: These account for the in-county spending by visitors arriving at the Trenton-Mercer Airport. Visitor spending not only supports airport jobs, but also retail and tourism-related employment.
By applying the R/ECON™ Input-Output model to the direct sources of airport-related spending listed above, we estimate the total economic impacts (direct, indirect, and induced) for Mercer County. The model expresses the resulting jobs, income, and wealth impacts in various levels of industry detail.
The current study is designed to inform operation strategies and establish a common base of knowledge from which long-range plans and initiatives can be developed. Additionally, this report includes a thorough property value analysis, which examines the extent to which proximity to the Trenton-Mercer Airport is correlated with the value of area properties
Exercise Assessment for People with End-stage Renal Failure
No full textFirst paragraph: Progressive loss of kidney function is often described as chronic kidney disease (CKD). Chronic kidney disease may progress to end stage renal failure (ESRF), at which point the kidneys are not able to perform their regulatory and excretory functions. The transition into end-stage renal failure, with the concomitant derangement of normal biochemical, metabolic and endocrine functions, is almost always accompanied by the clinical syndrome of uraemia. Symptoms such as anorexia, generalised lethargy and fatigue, sleep disorder, neurological dysfunction, nausea and vomiting are frequently evident. The appearance of these symptoms is remarkably consistent and appears to coincide with abnormal plasma levels of many substances including urea, creatinine, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone, which have been identified as potential uraemic toxins. Accompanying clinical signs of ESRF include fluid retention (peripheral and pulmonary oedema), raised blood pressure, diminishing haemoglobin levels and abnormal biochemistry (creatinine, serum urea and potassium) (Bommer 1992, Moore 2000)
Lest We Forget : The History of Mercer Law Review
No full textIt was one of those rare, perfect, early fall afternoons that occasionally favors middle Georgia. The stultifying heat of the 1948 summer had finally broken, and outside the open windows in the newly-cleared attic space on the third floor of the Ryals Law Building, the sky was the deepening color of blue that holds the promise of cooler weather and falling leaves. Inside, the air was still, but the atmosphere was electric with energy and a measure of tension. The group of students assembled there, led by Bill Tyson, were about to try something new and different in Mercer University Law School\u27s seventy-five year existence-the inauguration of a Law Review. True, all of the Ivy League schools had flourishing law reviews with long-established traditions, but, in making this bold move on behalf of a small southern school like Mercer, Dean O\u27Neal\u27 and Professor Quarles were really stepping out in front of the pack. Up to that point, student-published legal writing in Georgia had been limited to casenote type contributions to the Georgia Bar Journal, and Mercer students, along with their counterparts at Emory University and the University of Georgia, had participated in this activity. But, in the view of Dean O\u27Neal, that wasn\u27t enough. Something more was needed to single Mercer out and, as he related, get the Law School back fully on its feet after the toils of World War II
