Ida B. Wells-Barnett letter to Lucile Atcherson, October 1, 1914
No full textIn October 1914, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, a journalist and leader in the early Civil Rights movement, wrote this letter to Lucile Atcherson, a leader in the Ohio women's suffrage movement and executive secretary for the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Associatino. Wells-Barnett, writing from Chicago, asks in the letter how she can help in the fight for suffrage following a request from Mrs. Jamison for Wells-Barnett's help in garnering enthusiasm for the movement from African American women. Wells-Barnett's suffrage club in Chicago could not spare money to fund her travel, so she requests money from Atcherson for the train. Wells-Barnett asks Atcherson to respond if the plan for the trip is satisfactory.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex
Elizabeth J. Hauser letter to Lucile Atcherson, July 17, 1914
No full textOn July 17, 1914, Elizabeth J. Hauser, a suffragist from the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association, sent this letter to Lucile Atcherson, the executive secretary of the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association. Hauser wrote to discuss legislative candidates in Ohio and their stances regarding women's right to vote. A woman named Mrs. Bachman had contacted Hauser concerning interviewing Republican candidates, and Hauser told Atcherson to consult Mrs. Bachman. Hauser was also very interested to know whether Miss Atcherson had assurance from Colonel Kautzman of Mr. Willis's support for suffrage, because some suffragists had met Mr. Willis but he had declined to sign their petition despite verbal assurance that the suffragists had good chances in the election. Hauser then encouraged Atcherson to put as much pressure as she could on candidates to support equal suffrage. Frank B. Willis was an Ohio Republican who served as governor from 1915 to 1917.

a - b Anisotropy of the Intra-Unit-Cell Magnetic Order in YBa2Cu3O6.6
No full textWithin the complex phase diagram of the hole-doped cuprates, seizing the nature of the mysterious pseudogap phase is essential for unraveling the microscopic origin of high-temperature superconductivity. Below the pseudogap temperature T*, evidence for intra-unit-cell orders breaking the fourfold rotation symmetry have been provided by neutron diffraction and scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Using polarized neutron diffraction on a detwinned YBa2Cu3O6.6 sample, we here report a distinct a - b anisotropy of the intra-unit-cell magnetic structure factor below T*, highlighting that intra-unit-cell order in this material breaks the mirror symmetry of the CuO2 bilayers. This is likely to originate from a crisscrossed arrangement of loop currents within the CuO2 bilayer, resulting in a bilayer mean toroidal axis along the b direction.Agence Nationale pour la Recherche (ANR) [ANR-14-CE05-0007, ANR-14-OHRI-0010]SCI(E)ARTICLE911
An Ecological Study of Negro Juvenile Delinquency in Jacksonville, Florida, 1940-1947
No full textProblem of the Study: - This problem will be concerned with a study of Juvenile Delinquency among Negroes in Jacksonville, Florida for the years 1940-1947. Background: - In this study we employed the survey method. The author\u27s main technique was the personal interview with Juvenile Court officers, school principals, teachers, Parental Home Records, and records of public and private agencies and Juvenile Court records. The other techniques used were to gather and analyze data on housing economic status, health, recreation, churches, social agencies and other organizations or prophalaties that may help in the problem. Delinquency as a responsibility of the state of Florida dates back to 1822, the year in which Florida was organized as a state by Congress. It has not been possible to obtain statistical material which would give a complete picture of the amount of crime and delinquency divided by race, sex and offense, in Jacksonville, Florida and Duval County. The best available measure of the extent to which Negroes commit the most serious offenses in the number of persons committed to the state prison as reported in the Biennial Report of the Prison Division of the Department of Agriculture
Quantum phase transitions between bosonic symmetry-protected topological states without sign problem: Nonlinear sigma model with a topological term
No full textWe propose a series of simple two-dimensional (2D) lattice interacting fermion models that we demonstrate at lowenergy describe bosonic symmetry-protected topological (SPT) states and quantum phase transitions between them. This is because due to interaction, the fermions are gapped both at the boundary of the SPT states and at the bulk quantum phase transition, thus these models at lowenergy can be described completely by bosonic degrees of freedom. We show that the bulk of these models is described by a Sp(N) principal chiral model with a topological Theta term, whose boundary is described by a Sp(N) principal chiral model with a Wess-Zumino-Witten term at level 1. The quantum phase transition between SPT states in the bulk is tuned by a particular interaction term, which corresponds to tuning Theta in the field theory, and the phase transition occurs at Theta = pi. The simplest version of these models with N = 1 is equivalent to the familiar O(4) nonlinear sigma model (NLSM) with a topological term, whose boundary is a (1 + 1) D conformal field theory with central charge c = 1. After breaking the O(4) symmetry to its subgroups, this model can be viewed as bosonic SPT states with U(1), or Z(2) symmetries, etc. All of these fermion models, including the bulk quantum phase transitions, can be simulated with the determinant quantum Monte Carlo method without the sign problem. Recent numerical results strongly suggest that the quantum disordered phase of the O(4) NLSM with precisely Theta = pi is a stable (2 + 1) D conformal field theory with gapless bosonic modes.David and Lucile Packard Foundation; NSF [DMR-1151208]SCI(E)ARTICLE129
Femmes actives et assistance médicale à la procréation
No full textInternational audienceProfessionally active women having committed to an in vitro fertilisation (IVF) protocol due to conjugal sterility are inevitably confronted by the need to give some form of expression to this very private experience within their professional environments that, a priori, are hardly conducive to such openness. Although the women concerned would have preferred to maintain discretion and keep a certain distance from their colleagues in the matter of their sterility, they necessarily become the object of attention. But the dilemma of striving to sustain their professional commitment on the one hand while also doing their best to respect the severe constraints of a medical protocol forces them to choose selectively what they are willing to reveal as to their condition. The author conducted a sociological survey via semi-directive interviews to show the various scenarios and narratives these women use, and the difficulties they encounter in having a baby in a world of work informed by the rational value system based on management and performance.Les femmes actives engagées dans un protocole de fécondation in vitro (FIV) en raison d’une infertilité conjugale sont inévitablement confrontées à la nécessité de donner une place à ce vécu intime dans un univers professionnel qui, a priori, ne s’y prête guère. Exposées au regard malgré l’indifférence qu’elles peuvent souhaiter, ces femmes sont loin d’exhiber leur infertilité. Mais l’imbrication de deux logiques (garantir son engagement professionnel et favoriser un protocole médical contraignant) les somme de choisir ce qu’elles vont révéler de leur état. Après avoir réalisé une enquête sociologique par entretiens semi-directifs, l’auteur fait apparaître les différentes tentatives de mises en scène et en mots, par les femmes, de leur difficulté à procréer dans un univers professionnel traversé par les valeurs rationnelles de gestion et de performance.PlanL’infertilité, un mal difficile à circonscrireAbsences à justifier -- La souplesse organisationnelle, un élément déterminant -- L’arrêt maladieDire l’infertilité de son couple sur son lieu de travail -- À sa hiérarchie -- À ses collèguesSilence sur l’intime -- Le travail comme espace de rivalités -- Pudeur -- Refus de la compassionConclusion</b
Physics Nobel laureate Wolfgang Ketterle : a scientometric portrait
No full textWolfgang Ketterle was honoured with the Nobel Prize in Physics (2001) at 44 years of biological age and at 20 years of research publishing career. He had 115 publications during 1982 – 2002 in domains: Bose-Einstein Condensation (68), Laser Spectroscopy (30), and Atomic Physics (17) which were analysed for authorship pattern with his 68 collaborators. Most active researchers having number of publications with Wolfgang Ketterle were : S. Inouye (26), A. P. Chikkatur (20), M. R. Andrews (19), D. M. Stampur-Kurn (18), D. S. Durfee (17), H. J. Miesner (17), D. E. Pritchard (17), H. Walther (12), M. O. Mewes (12), D. M. Kurn (12), C. Raman (12), J. Stenger (12), J. Wolfrum (11), A. Arnold (10), N. J. van Druten (10), A. Gorlitz (10), and S. Gupta (10). His productivity coefficient was 0.78 which clearly indicates that his productivity increased after 50 percentile age. Highest collaboration coefficient (1) for Wolfgang Ketterle was found in 1983-1985, 1988, 1991-1995, and 2001. The publication concentration was 5.21% and publication density was 2.01. The core journals publishing his papers were: Phys. Rev. Lett. (30), Applied Physics-B (7), Journal of Chemical Physics (5), Nature (5), Physics Review-A (5), and Science (5). Most prolific keywords in titles were: Bose-Einstein condensate (38), Bose-Einstein condensation (15), Observation (9), Helium hydride (8), Emission spectrum, (6) Suppression (4). The ‘biobibliometrics’ term is used for a method of retrieving and visualizing biological information that uses co-occurrence of gene naming terms in Medical Sciences to generate semantic links between genes. Therefore it is suggested that ‘Scientometric Portrait’ is the appropriate phrase for the studies on scientists and ‘Informetric Portrait’ for the studies pertaining to researchers in other disciplines such as arts, humanities, and social sciences
