Letter from John Merrick to Alden Partridge, 14 September 1822
No full textJohn Merrick writes from Hallowell, Maine, to Alden Partridge at the American Literary, Scientific, and Military Academy in Norwich, Vermont; he sends his son, George Merrick, with Robert H. Gardiner, to the Academy, and discusses George's character and course of study; intends for George to spend a year at the Academy then enter Brunswick College (Bowdoin College) as a sophomore.Transcription by L.

Snacks 42 -- It's a GAS!!!
No full textIncludes descriptive metadata provided by producer in MP3 file: "Snacks 4 the Brain! - Podcasts - Snacks 42 -- It's a GAS!!!" Scott Merrick talks about Girls and Science Summer Camp (a.k.a. GAS Camp), a project of the Vanderbilt Center for Science Outreach, and shares audio clips from the camp. One clip is from a session dealing with how physical anthropologists determine the sex of a skeleton; in another clip, Merrick talks to some of the girls at lunch. The podcast opens with an audio clip from the horror spoof movie "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra," leading to the line, "I'm a scientist--I don't believe in anything." Three songs performed by Scott H. Miller are also included, as is a "tech tip tidbit" about how to transfer huge computer files easily.Vanderbilt University. Medical Cente

54/08/13 Merrick Picks Judge Thomas To Preside
No full textIn a victory for Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard, Judge Merrick holds that Gershom M.M. Barber was prejudiced and not qualified to arraign Dr. Sam on a first degree murder charge. In turn, Merrick assigns Common Pleas Judge William K. Thomas to preside over the hearing.https://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/newspaper_coverage/1181/thumbnail.jp
Cutaneous thermosensory mapping of the female breast and pelvis
No full textDifferences in skin thermal sensitivity have been extensively mapped across areas of the human body, including the torso, limbs, and extremities. Yet, there are parts of the female body, such as the breast and the pelvis for which we have limited thermal sensitivity data. The aim of this study was to map cutaneous warm and cold sensitivity across skin areas of the breast and pelvis that are commonly covered by female underwear. Twelve young females (21.9 ± 3.2 years) reported on a 200 mm visual analogue scale the perceived magnitude of local thermal sensations arising from short-duration (10 s) static application of a cold [5 °C below local skin temperature (Tsk)] or warm (5 °C above local Tsk) thermal probe (25 cm2) in seventeen locations over the breast and pelvis regions. The data revealed that thermal sensitivity to the warm probe, but not the cold probe, varied by up to 25% across the breast [mean difference between lowest and highest sensitivity location was 51 mm (95% CI:14, 89; p < 0.001)] and up to 23% across the pelvis [mean difference between lowest and highest sensitivity location: 46 mm (95% CI:9, 84; p = 0.001)]. The regional differences in baseline Tsk did not account for variance in warm thermal sensitivity. Inter-individual variability in thermal sensitivity ranged between 24 and 101% depending on skin location. We conclude that the skin across the female breast and pelvis presents a heterogenous distribution of warm, but not cold, thermal sensitivity. These findings may inform the design of more comfortable clothing that are mapped to the thermal needs of the female body

A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1

This journal was published quarterly from 1903 to 1981 with the twofold purpose of providing "a record of Mission activities [and] also a strong and convincing appeal to every supporter and friend of Dr. Grenfell's work." The articles describe mission life, services and experiences. The Mission began under the auspices of the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen but later a separate mission, the International Grenfell Association, was formed by Dr. Wilfred Grenfell
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
