No full textThe Oklahoma A&M College World War I Veterans collection captures the memories and experiences of the men and women of Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College who served in World War I. In 1919, a project headed by Maude Cass, the editor of the 1919 Redskin; Professor Maroney of the Department of History; Margaret Walters, Librarian; and J.W. Cantwell, the College President, was undertaken to survey these veterans. The surveys were returned along with photographs, letters, and newspaper clippings documenting these veterans’ experiences during World War I
Extremal Hosoya index and Merrifield–Simmons index of hexagonal spiders
No full textAbstractFor any graph G, let m(G) and i(G) be the numbers of matchings (i.e., the Hosoya index) and the number of independent sets (i.e., the Merrifield–Simmons index) of G, respectively. In this paper, we show that the linear hexagonal spider and zig-zag hexagonal spider attain the extremal values of Hosoya index and Merrifield–Simmons index, respectively

The Dire Elegies : 59 Poets on Endangered Species of North America
No full textEdited by Karla Linn Merrifield [College at Brockport alumna and former faculty member] ; with Roger M. Weir [College at Brockport former administrator] ; foreword by Bill McKibben. Includes poetry by William Heyen [College at Brockport emeritus and alumnus].
Dr. Edward O. Wilson, world-renowned Harvard entomologist and two-time Pulitzer-Prize winning author, points out in the epigraph to this unique collection of poetry, ...the better an ecosystem is known, the less likely it will be destroyed. This is the premise of The Dire Elegies: 59 Poets on Endangered Species of North America and why author Bill McKibben says in the book\u27s foreword, These magnificent poems work as a chant to summon more of the love to save the endangered from extinction. It\u27s also why writer Susan Cerulean has called the book an important manifesto: a must-read for our times. A helpful feature of the anthology is the species notes that accompany the poems each time a new species is introduced. For example, when readers encounter Minnesota poet Shirley S. Stevens\u27s poem On Spotting a Pygmy Owl, they also learn: The endangered cactus ferruginous pygmy owl, Glaucidium brasilianum cactorum, of the U.S. Southwest and Mexico, numbered only 12 birds when it was listed in the U.S. in 1997. A USF&WS recovery team began its work to rescue the species in 1998, but its fate remains precarious. Includes poems by College at Brockport current and former faculty members (Karla Linn Merrifield, William Heyen, Chris Norment, Steven Huff and by several College at Brockport alumni (Karla Linn Merrifield, William Heyen, Steven Huff, Jon Palzer), as well a a preface co-authored by For College at Brockport administrator Roger Weir.https://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/bookshelf/1068/thumbnail.jp
An alternative mechanism of clathrin-coated pit closure revealed by ion conductance microscopy
No full textCurrent knowledge of the structural changes taking place during clathrin-mediated endocytosis is largely based on electron microscopy images of fixed preparations and x-ray crystallography data of purified proteins. In this paper, we describe a study of clathrin-coated pit dynamics in living cells using ion conductance microscopy to directly image the changes in pit shape, combined with simultaneous confocal microscopy to follow molecule-specific fluorescence. We find that 70% of pits closed with the formation of a protrusion that grew on one side of the pit, covered the entire pit, and then disappeared together with pit-associated clathrin-enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and actin-binding protein-EGFP (Abp1-EGFP) fluorescence. This was in contrast to conventionally closing pits that closed and cleaved from flat membrane sheets and lacked accompanying Abp1-EGFP fluorescence. Scission of both types of pits was found to be dynamin-2 dependent. This technique now enables direct spatial and temporal correlation between functional molecule-specific fluorescence and structural information to follow key biological processes at cell surfaces

Enhanced Diapycnal Diffusivity in Intrusive Regions of the Drake Passage
No full textDirect measurements of oceanic turbulent parameters were taken upstream of and across Drake Passage, in the region of the Subantarctic and Polar Fronts. Values of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate ε estimated by microstructure are up to two orders of magnitude lower than previously published estimates in the upper 1000 m. Turbulence levels in Drake Passage are systematically higher than values upstream, regardless of season. The dissipation of thermal variance χ is enhanced at middepth throughout the surveys, with the highest values found in northern Drake Passage, where water mass variability is the most pronounced. Using the density ratio, evidence for double-diffusive instability is presented. Subject to double-diffusive physics, the estimates of diffusivity using the Osborn–Cox method are larger than ensemble statistics based on ε and the buoyancy frequency.National Science Foundation (U.S.
The Expected Value of Hosoya Index and Merrifield–Simmons Index in a Random Cyclooctylene Chain
No full textThe Hosoya index m(G) and the Merrifield–Simmons index i(G) of a graph G are the number of matchings and the number of independent sets in G. In this paper, we establish exact formulas for the expected value of the Hosoya index and Merrifield–Simmons index of the random cyclooctylene chains, which are graphs of a chemical chain consisting of n octagons, each of which is connected to the end of the previous octagon by an edge. In addition, we obtain the expected values and the average values of the two indexes through the relevant chemical diagrams and a series of accurate formulas with respect to the set of all cyclooctylene chains with n octagons
