Relationship between files: Files A and E are summary files; A is a report while E is a spreadsheet of data. Files B, C, and D are the data work-up, including blanks and calibrations, for the data summarized in A and E.On April 26, 2018, there were multiple explosions and a fire at the Husky Refinery in Superior, WI. Safety measures worked well, with no loss of life and few injuries; however, significant smoke and soot emissions from the fire itself did impact the local airways and may also have impacted local watersheds, the Twin Ports harbor and far western Lake Superior. Thus, we measured water quality in the St. Louis estuary and far-western Lake Superior in an attempt to determine if residual petroleum products and/or black carbon (soot) associated with the refinery fire entered Lake Superior or the Saint Louis estuary in measurable amounts. There were indications of very localized impact in total organic carbon and dissolved organic carbon data and aerial deposition of soot in some black carbon samples from surface waters. We did not find measurable petroleum hydrocarbon in our samples.Minnesota SeaGrantMinor, Elizabeth C; Shreiner, Kathryn; Sheik, Cody. (2018).

    No full text
    Three files are included in this repository: 1) regression_output.nc A netCDF-4 file containing daily mean pCO2 and CO2 air-lake flux fields produced by this work, describing Lake Superior with a spatial resolution of 0.02 degrees over 2019-2023. 2) winter_mooring.csv Data from a mooring deployment in Lake Superior in 2022-2023. This data was used for validation of the reconstruction output. 3) bottles.csv Results of chemical analyses of water samples from Lake Superior. This data was used for validation of the reconstruction output.A gap-filling reconstruction of Lake Superior pCO2 was trained on underway observations utilizing machine learning regression. The output fields in this repository accompany the publication "A neural network-based estimate of the seasonal to inter-annual variability of the Lake Superior carbon cycle" by Sandborn et al.

    An Analysis of Microlitter and Microplastics from Lake Superior Beach Sand and Surface-Water. This report describes work done in 2018 to evaluate the presence/absence of microplastics within and near the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. We wish to archive the information for preservation and availability for other interested parties.This project was funded by a cooperative agreement between the National Park Service and the University of Minnesota with support from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the National Park Service Water Resources Division.Minor, Elizabeth C; Lin, Roselynd; Burrows, Alvin; Cooney, Ellen M; Grosshuesch, Sarah; LaFrancois, Brenda.

    “A Crisis in Our Cause”: The Fifteenth Amendment and the Newport Woman Suffrage Convention of August 1869

    No full text
    In “A Crisis in Our Cause”: The Fifteenth Amendment and the Newport Woman Suffrage Convention of August 1869,” Elizabeth C. Stevens details the painful rupture in the fledgling woman suffrage movement of the late 1860s by examining a suffrage convention held in Newport, R.I. in August 1869. Tensions between colleagues in the woman’s rights and abolitionist movements of the mid-nineteenth century over the pending passage of the Fifteenth Amendment boiled over into hostility and anger as plans for the convention evolved. Paulina Wright Davis, leader of the Rhode Island Woman Suffrage Association, was at the forefront in organizing the convention at the behest of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Elizabeth C. Stevens is the editor of Newport History and the author of Elizabeth Buffum Chace and Lilllie Chace Wyman: A Century of Abolitionist, Suffragist and Woman’s Rights Activism

    Tudor women writers fashioning masculinity

    No full text
    This thesis contributes to the growing interest in early modern masculinity and its literary representations by introducing texts by women writers into dialogue with their male-authored counterparts. It argues for a more nuanced approach that recognises that the concepts of masculinity and femininity can only be fully understood when studied in relation with each other. The first chapter explores how, notwithstanding the wisdom of conduct books and marriage guides, the demands of the state may not always be commensurate with those of the domestic realm and shows that this conflict necessitates a rethinking of existing definitions of masculinity by focusing on selected writings of the Tudor sisters Mary and Elizabeth and Jane Fitzalan’s *Tragedie of Iphigeneia*. The second chapter identifies how Elizabeth’s unique discursive strategies were designed to elicit support from her male subjects and subdue the belligerence that simmered under polemic like John Stubbs’ *Gaping Gulf*. In her letters to Anjou, the chapter examines how Elizabeth manoeuvred around her position as a beloved and as a monarch to fashion a husband who would not only be sympathetic but also subordinate to her political authority. This chapter also shows how the fabulous world of John Lyly’s *Galatea* consummates the Queen’s desire for the ideal male subject. The final chapter investigates the construction of martial manhood. It juxtaposes Mary Sidney’s *The Tragedy of Antonie* with William Shakespeare’s *Antony and Cleopatra* to determine how the figure of Cleopatra, common to both plays, challenges and revises the martial code of masculinity as embodied by Antony. By examining the authorial position appropriated by Cleopatra in the plays and its impact on the narrative, this chapter also extends this thesis’ interest in the extent to which female characters within texts compete for diegetic control with male protagonists

    RoMEO Studies 2: How academics wish to protect their open-access research paper

    No full text
    This paper is the second in a series of studies (see Gadd, E., C. Oppenheim, and S. Probets. RoMEO Studies 1: The impact of copyright ownership on author-self-archiving. Journal of Documentation. 59(3) 243-277) emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving). It considers the protection for research papers afforded by UK copyright law, and by e-journal licences. It compares this with the protection required by academic authors for open-access research papers as discovered by the RoMEO academic author survey. The survey used the Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) as a framework for collecting views from 542 academics as to the permissions, restrictions, and conditions they wanted to assert over their works. Responses from self-archivers and non-archivers are compared. Concludes that most academic authors are primarily interested in preserving their moral rights, and that the protection offered research papers by copyright law is way in excess of that required by most academics. It also raises concerns about the level of protection enforced by e-journal licence agreement

    Data in Support of: Pollen mineralization fuels biogeochemical cycling and microbial community succession in Lake Superior

    These data were collected as a part of a microcosm incubation experiment where pollen was spiked to Lake Superior water. Measurements presented in this file include raw results (pollen_leaching_chemical_data_raw.csv). The data included here contain chemical measurements and sample/time identifiers (columns) and individual measurements (rows).This dataset supports the journal article "Pollen mineralization fuels biogeochemical cycling and microbial community succession in Lake Superior" in preparation for submission to the Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences and was collected during the winter of 2024-2025. The research team (Jake Zunker and Kathryn Schreiner) collected chemical variable measurements from a microcosm incubation study in which conifer pollen was spiked into waters collected from Lake Superior water to observe chemical leaching. Data include dissolved and particulate fractions of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus measured in both control (lake water, no pollen) and treatment (pollen spiked into lake water) jars over a time series spanning 0 to 60 days.Zunker, Jake D; Schreiner, Kathryn M; Wood, Andrew W; Larson, Britta L; Chun, Chan Lan; Bailey, Keagan; Minor, Elizabeth C; Hendrickson, Eva; Filstrup, Christopher T.
