Charles Riley Interview
No full textCharles A. Riley joined the U. S. Navy in 1943 at the age of sixteen. During World War II he served with the Navy's Scouts and Raiders, participating with the Marines in several campaigns, including the landing at Iwo Jima. Following the war he enrolled in college and subsequently joined the U. S. Army (Airborne) and then transferred to the Air Force, serving as an aviator. He flew missions in both Korea and Vietnam. COL Riley retired from active duty in 1970. The focus of this interview is his post-World War II U. S. Air Force career
Enduring Contributions of Indiana University Presidents and Leaders to the building and growth of Riley Children’s Health through the Riley Children’s Foundation
No full textIndiana University Presidents have played significant and consistent leadership roles in the history of the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children. Through involvement in the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial
Association (now the Riley Children’s Foundation) since its beginnings in 1921 to the present day, Indiana University Presidents have been steady, strong, and dedicated voices for building, expanding, and enhancing the
hospital’s capabilities to care for children from the Hoosier state and beyond. Through the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association (now the Riley Children’s Foundation), Indiana University Presidents and other university leaders like James W. Fesler (Trustee, 1902-1936 and Board President, 1919-1936) and Indiana University First Lady Laurie Burns McRobbie (2018 appointment, Riley Children’s Foundation Board of Governors) have contributed their knowledge, expertise, resources, and vision to the betterment of the hospital. Indiana University President William Lowe Bryan and President Herman B. Wells set the standard for this enduring leadership. This is the second of four photo displays to be presented through this project.Sponsorship of the project, "Remembering, Recognizing, and Celebrating the Partnership between Indiana University and Riley Children’s Health through Photo History Displays," by the Indiana University Office of the Bicentennial is acknowledged by the Riley Hospital Historic Preservation Committee with gratitude

No.477 Riley Cutler
No full textTranscript (21 pages) of interview by Erik Solberg with Riley Cutler on June 8, 2007Cutler (b. 1952) begins by sharing his childhood in Preston, Idaho. He lived in a farming community, and he explains just what that meant to him and to his friends. They worked the farms, sometimes alongside of immigrant farm workers. He had an active outdoor childhood, learning to ski among his many activities. The family moved to Panama City, Panama, and Riley went to the American High School in the Panama Canal Zone. He returned to Utah after graduating from high school and enrolled in the University of Utah. He recalls getting into cross country skiing, his friendship and working relationship with the Butler brothers of Wasatch Touring Company. Interview is part of the Outdoor Recreation Oral History Project. Interviewer: Erik Solber
Use of Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for the Diagnosis of Failure of Transfer of Passive Immunity and Measurement of Immunoglobulin Concentrations in Horses
No full textBackground: The economic, accurate, and rapid screening of foals for failure of transfer of passive immunity (FPT) is essential to ensure timely intervention. Hypothesis: Infrared (IR) spectroscopy of foal sera and pattern recognition may be used to diagnose FPT and quantify serum IgG. Samples: Sera from 194 foals (24–72 hours) with serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations determined previously by radial immunodiffusion assay (RID) were used. Methods: IR spectra were recorded for the serum samples, and the data were randomly divided into training and independent test sets, each containing both FPT-positive (IgG <400 mg/dL) and non-FPT samples. A genetic optimal region selection algorithm and linear discriminant analysis were used to partition the training spectra, and the resulting classifier was then validated by comparing the IR-predicted FPT status for each of the test samples to that provided by the RID IgG assay. A quantitative IR-based assay for IgG was developed using partial least squares (PLS) and validated by testing its ability to predict IgG concentrations. Results: Specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy for the combined data were 92.5, 96.8, and 95.9%, respectively. Corresponding positive (88.1%) and negative predictive (98.0%) values determined a success rate of 95–97% as compared to RID-based IgG concentrations. The IR-based quantitative assay yielded correlation coefficients for IR spectroscopy versus RID-based IgG concentrations of 0.90 and 0.86 for the training and test sets, respectively. Conclusions and Clinical Importance: The overall performance of the IR-based test was similar to that of the colorimetric assay and was superior and more economic than other available tests.Christopher B.

Gifted and talented education in New Zealand schools: A decade later
No full textIn 2004, the Ministry of Education released research investigating identification of and provisions for gifted and talented students in New Zealand Schools (Riley, Bevan-Brown, Bicknell, Carroll-Lind, & Kearney, 2004). This was landmark research: the first national study of gifted and talented education funded by the Ministry and released alongside a range of initiatives for students and those who identify and educate them in the schooling sector. The research comprised a comprehensive review of the literature, a national survey of schools, and ten case studies of best practice, with an aim of creating “a roadmap for future research and initiatives” (2004, p. 36)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
