Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients
(Fourth) Report on Meteorological Activities at the DGAI (8-1-36)(Weather Bureau Copy)
No full textThis report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936

Daniel Akech
No full textabstract: Daniel was a little boy when the war came to his village. He witnessed people being shot and running for shelter. There was no food or water so he drank urine and ate tree leaves.
“Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 24Region: Upper NileThis picture and bio was donated to the "Lost Boys Found" oral history project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente
Daniel Emmett postcard
No full textPostcard of Daniel Emmett and his home in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Emmett is considered to be the author of the antebellum song "Dixie," written in 1859, which became the unofficial song of the Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. He was born in Mount Vernon in 1815 and taught himself the fiddle, and later became associated with minstrel shows and helped to define that genre. Minstrel shows traveled around the United States, presenting skits and musical performances. Emmett also composed many other songs, including "Old Dan Tucker," "Turkey in the Straw," and "The Blue Tail Fly." He died in 1904

Síndrome dilatação-torção gástrica: revisão bibliográfica e estudo de 32 casos clínicos
No full textOrientação: Daniel Murta ; orientação externa: Sofia DominguesA síndrome dilatação-torção gástrica é uma condição aguda, médica e cirúrgica, comum em canídeos, que se caracteriza por uma rápida acumulação de ar com distensão e mau posicionamento do estômago, levando ao choque do animal e pondo em risco a sua vida. Ainda não foi identificada uma causa única para o seu desenvolvimento, mas foram propostos diversos fatores de risco que estão provados terem uma relação de causalidade com a síndrome.
Este estudo teve como objetivo a caracterização de casos com síndrome dilatação-torção gástrica admitidos no Hospital Veterinário do Atlântico.
Foram analisados fatores predisponentes, mais especificamente raça, género, idade e sazonalidade, e fez-se uma caracterização das análises hematológicas para avaliar possíveis indicadores de prognóstico.
Concluiu-se com este estudo que as raças grandes e gigantes são as mais afetadas, que a idade média de ocorrência é entre os 6 e os 8 anos e que aparenta não ter predisposição para o género. Também se conclui que esta síndrome provoca uma grande variedade de alterações hematológicas, como hipocalemia ou aumento das enzimas hepáticas. Apesar da análise estatística dar um aumento significativo para a contagem de glóbulos brancos e hematócrito como indicadores de prognóstico, as limitações do estudo impedem de afirmar a sua validade, sendo necessária a realização de mais estudos para que permitam aprofundar as conclusões.Gastric dilatation-volvulus is an acute, medical and surgical condition, common in dogs, that is caracterized by a rapid accumulation of air, with distension and bad positioning of the stomach, leading to shock of the patient and endangering his life. No single cause has been yet identified for its development, but a number of risk factors have been proposed, that are proven to be causally related to the syndrome.
This study had as objective to characterize cases with gastric dilatation-volvus syndrome admitted at the Hospital Veterinário do Atlântico.
Predisposing factos, such as race, gender, age and seasonality were analyzed, and a hematological analysis was performed to evaluate possible prognostic indicators.
It was concluded with this study that the large and giant breeds are the most affected, that the average age of occurrence is between 6 and 8 yers old and that it seems to have no predisposition to the genus. It also concludes that this syndrome causes a great variety of hematological alterations, like hypokalemia or increase of the liver enzymes. Although the statistical analysis gives a significant increased in white blood cells and hematocrit as prognostic indicators, the limitations of the study do not assert its validity, and more studies are needed in order to further the conclusions
