She also talks about being a woman and being involved with adobe construction and preservation.The Oral History and Art in Taos, New Mexico Collection consists of interviews conducted as part of the Oral History and Art in Taos, New Mexico summer course held during July 2012 in conjunction with Oklahoma State University and the Doel Reed Center for the Arts
Trip account
No full textTrip account - AMs, 15 pp.
“I am attempting to give you some account of a recent vacation trip which we were privileged to enjoy - Rose, Mother and I…” As the account of the trip to view the eclipse is unsigned, we can’t say for sure but as the author states “Rose, Mother and I” one could logically assume that the author is a sibling of T. Rose Curtis
ROSE POLY and ME A Memoir
No full textAuthor discusses his time as an engineering student and football player (1955-59), and then football coach, track coach, athletic director, instructor and then assistant professor of civil engineering at Rose Polytechnic Institute (now Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology) (1962-64). As a football player in 1958, he led the nation in scoring with 168 points in 8 games. Sixty-two years later, the 168 points continues to be the record for points in a season by an Indiana college football player. His 21.0 points per game were the national record for thirty years (1958-88) until broken by Barry Sanders of Oklahoma State. In 1957 and 1958, the Rose Poly football team won fifteen games in a row over two seasons while the defense held opponents to 5.4 points per game. In 1958, the team led the NCAA Division II in defense holding opponents to 95.8 yards per game and a total of 31 points (3.9 points per game). As the football coach, he rescued the team from a disastrous previous year in which the team lost all of its games and scored only six points. The author concludes with his afterthoughts on his alma mater after a career of more than 60 years in engineering education.https://scholar.rose-hulman.edu/alum_pub/1003/thumbnail.jp
Synchronization in Networks of Hindmarsh-Rose Neurons
No full textSynchronization is deemed to play an important role in information processing in many neuronal systems. In this work, using a well known technique due to Pecora and Carroll, we investigate the existence of a synchronous state and the bifurcation diagram of a network of synaptically coupled neurons described by the Hindmarsh-Rose model. Through the analysis of the bifurcation diagram, the different dynamics of the possible synchronous states are evidenced. Furthermore, the influence of the topology on the synchronization properties of the network is shown through an exampl
Trove: Innovation in Access to Information in Australia
No full textIn late 2009 the National Library of Australia released version 1 of Trove [1] to the public. Trove is a free search engine. It searches across a large aggregation of Australian content. The treasure is over 90 million items from over 1000 libraries, museums, archives and other organisations which can be found at the click of a button. Finding information just got easier for many Australians. Exploring a wealth of resources and digital content like never before, including full-text books, journals and newspaper articles, images, music, sound, video, maps, Web sites, diaries, letters, archives, people and organisations has been an exciting adventure for users and the service has been heavily used. Finding and retrieving instantly information in context; interacting with content and social engagement are core features of the service. This article describes Trove features, usage, content building, and its applications for contributors and users in the national context
Did Plant Patents Create the American Rose?
No full textThe Plant Patent Act of 1930 was the first step towards creating property rights for biological innovation: it introduced patent rights for asexually-propagated plants. This paper uses data on plant patents and registrations of new varieties to examine whether the Act encouraged innovation. Nearly half of all plant patents between 1931 and 1970 were for roses. Large commercial nurseries, which began to build mass hybridization programs in the 1940s, accounted for most of these patents, suggesting that the new intellectual property rights may have helped to encourage the development of a commercial rose breeding industry. Data on registrations of newly-created roses, however, yield no evidence of an increase in innovation: less than 20 percent of new roses were patented, European breeders continued to create most new roses, and there was no increase in the number of new varieties per year after 1931.

A Comparison of Cryptography Courses
No full textThe author taught two courses on cryptography, one at Duke University aimed at non-mathematics majors and one at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology aimed at mathematics and computer science majors. Both tried to incorporate technical and societal aspects of cryptography, with varying emphases. This paper will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of both courses and compare the differences in the author\u27s approach
Carotenoids, tocochromanols and chlorophylls in sea buckthorn berries (Hippophae rhamnoides) and Rose Hips (Rosa sp.)
No full textConsumption of fruits and berries have positive effects on human health by reducing the risk of e.g. cardiovascular diseases, age-related macular degeneration and cataracts, and different forms of cancer. These positive effects are believed to be related to the high content of bioactive compounds such as different antioxidants in fruits and berries. Increased intake of bioactive compounds can be promoted by selecting species/cultivars with high contents and by harvesting at the optimal time. Recent interest for cultivating sea buckthorn berries and rose hips partly depends on their more or less well documented health related statements. Products containing sea buckthorn berries or rose hips are steadily growing in number on the market and there is a need for increasing the knowledge of the content of the bioactive compounds in the fruit and berry raw material. This thesis investigated the content of carotenoids, tocochromanols (tocopherols and tocotrienols) and chlorophylls in berries from different cultivars of sea buckhorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) and fruits from different species of roses (Rosa sp.) during the harvest period of three consecutive years. The carotenoid and tocopherol content were also investigated during processing and storage in juices with sea buckthorn berries and rose hips as ingredients. Carotenoids and tocochromanols are fat-soluble antioxidants, some of which have activity as pro-vitamin A and vitamin E. All analyses were carried out by HPLC on extracts made from lyophilised material. The concentration of carotenoids, tocochromanols and chlorophylls generally varied depending on cultivar/species and over the ripening period in both sea buckthorn berries and rose hips. This variation was not simultaneous for different compounds of the same type, e.g. all carotenoids did not show similar variation. For carotenoid content, harvesting time and choice of cultivar were more important than year of harvest, and a general increase occurred over the season. The tocochromanol content was mostly influenced by cultivar/species and year of harvest, although vitamin E activity generally decreased during ripening. The chlorophyll content decreased during ripening, when the fruits/berries changed colour from green to yellow-red, and proved suitable for use as a maturity marker of optimal harvesting time
