He was a member of IUMSWA Local 24 and was most associated with the Sparrow Point and Key Highway shipyards in Baltimore, Maryland. His duties included grievance arbitration, negotiations, insurance claims, pensions, election planning, training, productivity and contract costing. The collection includes Pemberton's copies of union bylaws, grievance arbitrations, notebooks of negotiation proposals, data and correspondence, negotiated agreements, Supreme Court and Maryland Court of Appeals decisions regarding the union, general correspondence, manuscripts, photographs, buttons and other memorabilia, and a framed letter from president of the United Automobile Workers and labor movement leader Walter P.

Genetic variation in the Alpine chamois, with special reference to the subspecies Rupicapra rupicapra cartusiana Couturier, 1938
No full textGenetic Variation in 53 individuals representing 6 Alpine chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) populations was investigated by starch gel electrophoresis, in order to determine the extent to which the endangered subspecies R. r. cartusiana differs from R. r. rupicapra and merits protection. Across all populations studied 10 of 55 loci screened were polymorphic and average heterozygosity was typical for a mammal but high for a large mammal. As measured by Nei genetic distances, the cartusiana population was the most distinct, but no loci diplaying fixed differences between populations were detected. It is concluded that the decision to protect the cartusiana population must depend on the cost of the protection

Correspondence from Unknown to Mrs. Chas. Morton (Sabina Page Pemberton Morton)
No full textTyped and unsigned correspondence to Mrs. Chas. Morton (Sabina Page Pemberton Morton); first line reads: "My dear Mrs. Morton:/As I am needing the material loaned you, concerning the state of Washington, I will ask you to kindly send it by return mail." The author explains a mix-up that occurred in regard to their refusal to speak for a bill passed by the Federal Women's Equality Association [FWEA]. She explains that she is a member of the National Council of Women Voters and does not have time to join the FWEA, The Anthony League, or the group run by Miss Alice Paul (most likely the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage). She says that her refusal to speak for the FWEA was not a sign of "bad faith" and that she will support all of the previously mentioned groups when she has time to do so.Outgoing Correspondence from Dr. Clara W.

"What matters is what works": Labour's journey from "national superannuation" to "personal accounts"
No full textA key element of Labour’s response to the Pensions Commission’s recommendations for ‘a new pension settlement for the twenty-first century’ is a system of ‘personal accounts’ that will be administered and invested by the private sector. The contrast with 50 years ago, when Britain faced similar pressures, is striking. Then, Labour presented to the British public proposals for a state-run scheme embodying redistribution between higher and lower-paid workers and the accumulation of a very large fund that would be directly invested in stock markets by the state to promote faster growth. Today’s scheme embodies neither redistribution nor collective control of the scheme’s assets, and investment and risk-taking will be the responsibility of individuals rather than the state. This article explores the differences between Labour’s proposals in 1957 and the scheme it proposes today. It considers what these differences tell us about the party’s changing conception of social democracy, and highlights the irony that, with consumers’ faith in financial markets shattered by the most severe financial crisis since 1929, New Labour’s embrace of a private sector solution on the grounds that ‘what matters is what works’ now seems badly mistaken.A key element of Labour’s response to the Pensions Commission’s recommendations for ‘a new pension settlement for the twenty-first century’ is a system of ‘personal accounts’ that will be administered and invested by the private sector.

External force resolution from a dynamic, coupled mechanical-structural-electrical system: Application in Longwall Mining
No full textEstimating the functional form for the density dependence from life history data
No full textTwo contrasting approaches to the analysis of population dynamics are currently popular: demographic approaches where the associations between demographic rates and statistics summarizing the population dynamics are identified; and time series approaches where the associations between population dynamics, population density, and environmental covariates are investigated. In this paper, we develop an approach to combine these methods and apply it to detailed data from Soay sheep (Ovis aries). We examine how density dependence and climate contribute to fluctuations in population size via age- and sex-specific demographic rates, and how fluctuations in demographic structure influence population dynamics. Density dependence contributes most, followed by climatic variation, age structure fluctuations and interactions between density and climate. We then simplify the density-dependent, stochastic, age-structured demographic model and derive a new phenomenological time series which captures the dynamics better than previously selected functions. The simple method we develop has potential to provide substantial insight into the relative contributions of population and individual-level processes to the dynamics of populations in stochastic environments.<br/
