Dear Mr. Kephart: At its meeting yesterday the North Carolina Park Commission voted that you be added to the Committee on Nomenclature to assist the National Geographic Board in naming the principal topographic features within the Smoky Mountain National Park. Mr. Hiden Ramsey and you and myself constitute this committee, provided you agree to serve. I earnestly hope you will, since you know more about it than either Ramsey or myself. I am aware of what both you and George Masa have done in this regard, and am most appreciative of your helpful efforts in this particular. Mr. Squires himself may notify you of this appointment. He left town feeling unwell yesterday and it may slip his mind. Therefore, I am taking this opportunity of writing you myself.

    We consider -stability definition according to Y. Qing and B. E. Rhoades (2008) and we show that the variational iteration method for solving integral equations is -stable. Finally, we present some text examples to illustrate our result.</p

    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

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Power Despite Precarity: A Conversation with the Authors, Joe Berry and Helena Worthen

    No full text
    In a conversation with Joe Berry and Helena Worthen, authors of the recent book, Power despite precarity, Gary Rhoades explores the basic themes of this historical case study of the California Faculty Association in relation to contingent faculty and the larger contingent faculty labor movement. The conversation, like the book, centers on strategies for the contingent faculty labor movement, as the authors\u27 intent is that it be a channel of movement knowledge

    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
