Oral History Interview with Regis Butler, May 21, 2008
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Regis Butler. Butler joined the Army Air Forces in March of 1942. He completed flight training and classes in aircraft structures and mechanics. He worked at Bell Aircraft Plant in Niagara Falls to become familiar with P-39s and completed additional classes at Kelly Field in San Antonio on various phases of engines, controls and instruments. He served as a project engineer with the 5th Air Force, 4th Air Service Command, 13th Air Depot, and the Black Cat Squadron. Around February of 1943 they traveled across the Pacific by troop ship to New Caledonia and Guadalcanal. The squadron’s job was to do night patrols, seek out targets and rescue downed pilots. Butler engineered parts and made plane modifications as needed with the PBY, B-25, C-47, P-38 and P-51 aircraft. He traveled to Biak, to survey the airfields in preparation to relocate their squadron. He shares his experiences moving across these Pacific islands, his encounters with the natives and establishing a repair depot in Biak. Butler was discharged in December of 1945

La cancellazione della storia e le sue resistenze. Schellino e l’igiene come metafora urbana
No full textLa fine dell’Ottocento si connota come un periodo di grandi metamorfosi. Le nascenti metropoli improntate a nuovi modelli produttivi e, perciò, amministrativi mutano i precedenti assetti, con significative trasformazioni urbane, mentre emerge come tema centrale la questione dell’igiene. Attraverso lo specchio di alcuni casi emblematici e singolari, Daniele Regis, già autore di diversi volumi sull’architettura dell’Ottocento e su G. B. Schellino, ci offre un’originale lettura dei processi di formazione di un’idea di città e della sua storiografia (e iconografia) nel confronto ineludibile tra pensiero progettuale, sviluppo delle scienze umane e problematiche sanitarie. Temi
e processi ancora aperti nella loro straordinaria attualità
Economic Impact of the St. Regis Tribe 2008
Get PDFThe St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, a federally recognized tribe, has witnessed a remarkable expansion in recent years. It has experienced economic growth made possible by Indian sovereignty and intergovernmental agreement, namely the growth of its bingo and This report examines how one particular Native nation, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, participates in the economy of New York. It explains how the structural features of Mohawk sovereignty distinguish its economic activity from non-Indian commerce and government, intensifying its regional economic benefits. It documents the remarkable recent growth of the Mohawk economy and tallies the jobs, earnings, and taxes that result from this activity. Most importantly, th is report demonstrates that the remarkable gains the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe has achieved for its people come at no expense to the people of New York. To the contrary, St. Regis Mohawk economic activity provides substantial net benefits to the immediate off-reservation economy and New York more broadly.
SOCIAL BUTTERFLY THE JOURNEY TO FINDING A FRIENDSHIP POTION
Get PDFThroughout history, there has been a constant search for a method of developing interment relationships between people. Different cultures have had various methods to develop a so-called love potion by using animals, plants, and modern witchcraft to create elixirs to manipulate an individual\u27s feelings. The goal of the love potion is to create genuine positive feelings of affection. Despite the different methods used in creating a love potion, there is a method that has been shown to create meaningful relationships just through talk. Psychological researcher, Arthur Aron, focused on the Fast Friends Protocol to create deep and meaningful relationships between people. Instead of just having small talk between two people, he asked people a series of 35 personal questions about their lives. The questions were seen to help people create a love relationship at a fast pace. Using the same 35 questions he helped develop, I created a card game called Social Butterfly. Unlike Aron who used the research to create a love potion, the goal of Social Butterfly is to create a friendship potion to help develop meaningful relationships among Regis University students who have felt lonely and secluded from the community. The game has been tested and played around the Regis Community and allowed students to form friendships and get to know someone on a personal level at a fast pace. It has been seen to be effective in creating friendships among students only if they are comfortable sharing personal information from the question asked
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Efficient versus inefficient hedging strategies in the presence of financial and longevity (value at) risk
Get PDFThis paper provides a closed-form Value-at-Risk (VaR) for the net exposure of an annuity provider, taking into account both mortality and interest-rate risk, on both assets and liabilities. It builds a classical risk-return
frontier and shows that hedging strategies - such as the transfer of longevity risk - may increase the overall risk while decreasing expected returns, thus resulting in inefficient outcomes. Once calibrated to the 2010
UK longevity and bond market, the model gives conditions under which hedging policies become inefficient
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
