William Stone papers
No full textWilliam B. Stone, Charles County, Maryland, lawyer and landowner, counted among his ancestors a number of influential Maryland politicians, including a proprietary governor from the early seventeenth century. Stone himself was at one time considered by the U.S. Senate for a federal judge's seat. National politics, slavery, individual slaves, legal and financial settlements are among the topics covered in Stone's papers, which consist of correspondence between Stone and relatives or business associates
Rapa Nui (Easter Island)’s Stone Worlds
No full textThis article explores the spatial, architectural and conceptual relationships between landscape places, stone quarrying, and stone moving and building during Rapa Nui’s statue-building period. These are central themes of the ‘Rapa Nui Landscapes of Construction Project’ and are discussed using aspects of the findings of our recent fieldwork. The different scales of expression, from the detail of the domestic sphere to the monumental working of quarries, are considered. It is suggested that the impressiveness of Rapa Nui’s stone architecture is its conceptual coherence at the small scale as much as at the large scale. </div

Letter from J.W. Stone to James B. Finley
Get PDFRev. Stone is writing to the Presiding Elder of the Zanesville District, James B. Finley, concerning conditions at the Newark appointment. The congregation is large and class meetings are well attended. The $5.00 quarterage due Finley from the Newark congregation will be forwarded once it is raised. There has been an attempted suicide in town. Stone informs Finley that his trunk is completed and ready to be sent.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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

The influence of flow acceleration on stone stability
Get PDFThe stability of a bed of stones subject to a flow is often described in terms of a critical velocity or shear stress generated by the flow. These classical design methods like for example Shields, do not take the influence of flow acceleration into account. In experiments and practice, it appeared that when a flow is accelerated, stones start to move at a point where the so-called critical velocity is not reached yet. The movement of stones must have a second cause beside the velocity of flow. Only a little information is known on the influence of flow acceleration on stone stability of the bed. The objective of this thesis is to obtain more insight into the influence of acceleration of flow on the stability of stones. By carrying out experiments in a flume containing a local contraction, the stone stability in an accelerated flow is investigated. In the contraction the stability of two different stone sizes, subject to different velocity-acceleration combinations, is analysed. If the hypothesis is correct, than for some velocity-acceleration combinations movement occurs while for the same velocity combined with a lower acceleration no movement occurs. The shear stress occurring in the accelerated flow is determined using the shear velocity. According to the classical Shields method the shear velocity is responsible for the movement of the stones. Movement is detected for lower shear velocities then expected. According to the hypothesis this is a result of the extra generated force on the stones due to acceleration. After analysing the data it appeared that combinations of the same velocity and different accelerations showed differences in movement. The amount of movement goes up for an increase in acceleration combined with a constant or slightly decreasing velocity. This proves that there is a relation between the stability of the stones and a combination of the velocity and acceleration generated forces. The Morison equation is used to describe the relation between the forces acting on a stone. It combines the force generated by acceleration and the force generated by the peak velocities due to turbulence, as the sum of both forces. The extra force due to acceleration appeared to be of the same order as the force due to the velocity. Therefore, when looking at the stone stability in an accelerated flow, it is important to take the force generated by the acceleration into account. The resulting Morison force acting on a stone is proved to be responsible for the stability of the stones. Finally, a unique relation, valid for both stone diameters, between the force acting on the stone and the entrainment is found. This power relation consists of a dimensionless Morison-Shields parameter representing the force on a stone and a dimensionless entrainment parameter. The relation does not depend on stone size and is therefore expected to be universal in use.Civil Engineering and Geoscience
