    Letter from Mrs. R. R. Rhoades to Amon Carter regarding their family members as prisoners of war.Pasadena, Texas May-18-1944 Dear Mr. Carter I am writeing you. As my Brother Lt. Edd Rhoades, now a prisoner of war in Oflag 64. Germany.Ask me to call on you. We have just received his letter, dated Oct. 1943- at that time we were in Ft. Worth, with James T. Taylor and Ron. Edd ask us to tell you your son, was in the same Barracks as he. He is well and getting alonge alright, He said they had food enough and the winter was not as cold as they had thought. Of course he know's you hear from Lt Carter as often as is possible but it may help a little to hear from some of the other boys there. He is alright. Edd writes there are 400 boys' there and they ae all doing fine. Edd was there in Africa on Feb 14-43-. We hear from him about every six or eight weeks, He is also receiving his packages and letters. I do hope it wont be too long before our boys are home. but I can't keep being a little glad they are out of comnat, I know it is hard for them to be so confined and nothing to do but wait. I hope you are hearing from your son often. I am, very truly Mrs. Rhoades. Mrs. R. R. Rhoades Box 862. Pasadena, Texas

    Poly(Lactic Acid): Flow-Induced Crystallization

    No full text
    Poly(lactic acid) is surely one of the most interesting commercially available biodegradable polymers. Being a slowly crystallizing material, it generally does not have the time to crystallize at the cooling rates involved in the common processing techniques. However, the properties induced by crystallinity are extremely interesting for tuning the characteristics of the obtained parts, and this leads the research to find the routes to an enhancement of PLA crystallization kinetics. During processing, polymer melts are subjected to very high deformation rates, and the stretch resulting from this orientation gives rise to shorter crystallization times and also to peculiar crystalline structures. The so-called flow-induced crystallization is therefore a phenomenon that for PLA can be considered strategic toward the realization of parts with enhanced properties. In this work, a state of the art on flow-induced crystallization of PLA is presented

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    T-Stability Approach to Variational Iteration Method for Solving Integral Equations

    No full text
    We consider T-stability definition according to Y. Qing and B. E. Rhoades (2008) and we show that the variational iteration method for solving integral equations is T-stable. Finally, we present some text examples to illustrate our result

    "Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"

    No full text
    Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
