Bryant Service Club:
You may be interested to know that I have received a cablegram from my son from Great Britian, stating that he had arrived safely and that we was well. His address is:
Pvt. Samuel B. Tabor, 31070202 38th Evacuation Hospital A.P.O. 1289, c/o Postmaster New York, N. Y.
Sincerely,

Bryant Service Club;
This past week I received a letter from my son, Samuel B. Tabor, from “somewhere in north west Africa”. He informs me that he has been advanced in rank and his address has been changed, so that his present address will be:
Sgt. Samuel B. Tabor, 31070292 38th Evacuation Hosp. A.P.O. 302, c/o Postmaster New York, N. Y.
In the paper, Providence Sunday Journal, of Nov. 15th there was a group picture and I am sure his picture was there. He tells me he is well, although they sleep in pup tents on straw mattresses; rise while the stars are still shining, and eat breakfast as the sun is coming up. They use their helmets to wash up in, wash clothes in, and as buckets in general. They usually work from dawn until dusk, and he was writing my letter by the light of a lantern. He hadn’t received any mail for about a month, but told me top keep writing as it eventually catches up with them.
Sincerely,
Edna L. Tabor (Mrs.C.A.) [Transcription ends
Computational simulation of air flows through a Sri Lankan wind-driven furnace
No full textResearch carried out in the early 1990s in Sri Lanka, combining field survey, ethno-archaeology and excavation, revealed an
extensive iron producing industry dating to the second half of the first millennium AD. The field evidence indicated that this industry
was based on a shallow, wind-powered furnace design that represented a radical departure from the accepted bellows-driven, shaft
furnace model which has been the epitome of successful pre-industrial iron smelting. Subsequent experimental reconstructions of the
process carried out in Sri Lanka established that the furnaces were wind-powered and also that they were capable of producing high
quality, hypereutectoid steels. The objective of the current work is to use modern techniques in Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD) to investigate the airflow through and around these furnaces in order to verify the theoretical model of their operation. It also
demonstrates the potential application of CFD to the modelling and interpretation of pre-modern pyrotechnologie
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
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
