Richard M. Sheirich research collection : materials about Richard Beer-Hofmann 1866-2002
No full textThis collection consists of Richard M. Sheirich’s materials pertaining to his research on Richard Beer-Hofmann’s private correspondence and works. In addition to the original papers, correspondence, notes, and photos of Richard Beer-Hofmann and his family that Richard M. Sheirich gathered, the collection contains Sheirich’s correspondence with Richard Beer-Hofmann’s daughter Miriam Beer-Hofmann Lens, his and other scholars’ works on Beer-Hofmann, several photocopies of the original Beer-Hofmann papers, and Sheirich’s notes.Richard M. Sheirich's book, 'Der Briefwechsel mit Paula 1896-1937’ is available in the LBI Library.Richard M. Sheirich was born on October 9, 1927 in Erie, Pennsylvania. He studied German at Colgate University, Northwestern University and at Universität Hamburg, and earned a Ph. D. in German at Harvard University in 1965; his dissertation was titled “Die Historie von König David.”After teaching German at the University of California at Berkeley, Richard M. Sheirich became a faculty member at Pomona College in 1962 and retired from the same institution in 1996. Sheirich’s research interest was the Austrian literary movement Das Junge Wien and specifically Richard Beer-Hoffman’s work. He started working on Beer-Hofmann’s writings in the 1950s. His work in this field was the preparation of an inventory of the Richard Beer-Hofmann papers for Harvard University.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

America's first whaling industry and the whaler yeomen of Cape May 1630-1830
No full textAmerican whaling began in Delaware Bay?not in Cape Cod, as is commonly believed. The whale fishery began as a Dutch whaling colony at Lewes, Delaware in 1631. The history of Delaware Bay?s whale fishery is disjointed, with a half century lull before any whaling on the north shore of the bay began at Cape May by whalers from Long Island in the 1680s and 1690s. Whaling proved to be a valuable asset to the colonial economy of West Jersey; the whaling trade built elite family dynasties on the Jersey Cape that lasted for generations. As these families prospered, through the sale of whale oil, blubber and baleen to Philadelphia and beyond, they succeeded, unlike their fellow colonists in Southern slave societies, in producing a vibrant, diverse economy. They engaged in everything from oyster to sturgeon fishing, cedar mining to cattle raising, shipbuilding to knitting mittens. Not only did the whaler yeomen flourish, many were able to increase their land holdings, establish plantations, purchase slaves and endow their families with great wealth. Most importantly, the people of Cape May participated fully in the colonial economy, trading with merchants not only in Philadelphia, but throughout the mid-Atlantic and southern colonies, New England, the West Indies and Europe.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Richard M.

M-Sets and Automata
No full textTitle: M-Sets and Automata, Author: Richard J. Wood, Location: ThodeThis thesis attempts to provide a more algebraic foundation for the study of automata. Specifically, a category containing the category of finite state semiautomata is investigated. It is shown that the push down automata of Ginsburg can be treated in a way consistent
with a categorical program, and a new characterization of context-free languages is thus obtained.ThesisMaster of Science (MS

Approaches to maintaining provenance throughout the additive manufacturing process
No full textThe development of 3D printers has resulted in significant Intellectual Property Right issues. This work presents a model for signing printable 3D objects. The paper initially reviews the security principles of signing of objects in both digital or physical form, and the metrics for assessing signatures. 3D designs are not just a file, but actual physical objects and should be treated identically, to digital documents that have associated intellectual property rights and copyright protection. In this paper we propose a signing methodology intended to resolve issues with the adaptation of rapid prototyping and 3D printing by users both in engineering and the humanities. The proposed digital signing methodology is based on physical signing principles that follow archival principles to maintain accurate records. The new model allows the transition of provenance between digital and physical form
