Letter, H. L. Pinckney to I. M. Campbell
No full text1 item 0.05 cf. The Letter, H. L. Pinckney to I. M. Campbell, was written on June 23, 1832 from Henry Laurens Pinckney, Intendant (mayor) of Charleston, South Carolina to Dr. I. M. Campbell, president of the Medical Society of South Carolina. Pinckney calls on the Medical Society of South Carolina to advise the city council on the best methods of preventing the introduction of and/or mitigating the effects of cholera which was occurring in Canada and which the city feared was on its way to Charleston. Pinckney entreats Campbell to report to the council with the Society's recommendations so that the necessary sanitary and quarantine measures could be instituted
Regulation of telecommunications in the broadband age
No full textBroadband is becoming important to both the economic and social progress of a nation. Commerce and social interaction are increasingly conducted “on line.” The economic importance of broadband has been theoretically framed in terms of the “network effect.” Additionally, broadband may produce significant positive externalities in areas such as education, healthcare, and the environment. For these reasons, policymakers have been closely monitoring the progress of broadband diffusion. I examine a decade of hard data on the rollout of first generation broadband in the context of policies employed by different administrations around the world. My primary focus is in the use of industrial policy and loop unbundling. As in previous studies in the literature, the dependent variable modeled is broadband subscribers per 100 inhabitants. The impact of industrial policy is consistently a statistically significant predictor of broadband density, with a stable value and positive sign over all regressions. The use of an unbundling policy is found to be statistically significant when lagged by one or two years, and it is always positive. I use these results to predict policy impacts on the rollout of Next Generation Network (NGN) broadband, which will be characterized by heavy investment in fiber optic facilities supporting access speeds of 100 megabits per second and above. I conduct a benefit-cost analysis for U.S. NGN broadband deployment using predicted increases in NGN availability to drive the compilation of associated costs and benefits. To monetize benefits, I estimate private producer and consumer surpluses. I also include benefits to the economy by virtue of the network effect. Additional positive externalities can be optionally added in the areas of healthcare and the environment. A number of different scenarios are run in order to get a sense of the impact of the two policies and the sensitivity to different study parameters. The results show that both policies have the potential to be justified on the basis of a benefit-cost analysis. The more that we can attribute positive externalities to a modern, high speed broadband network, the stronger the case there is to justify policies which promote and invest in broadband.Ph.

A note on the computation of an actuarial Waring formula in the finite-exchangeable case
No full textWe present in this paper the actuarial Waring formula, which is used in several fields, like life-insurance or credit risk. In a particular framework where considered random variables are exchangeable, we show that some problems can occur when using this formula. We propose alternative recursions in order to improve the complexity of the calculations, and to cope with the numerical instability of the formula.
Reports of the Committee of the Medical Society of South Carolina on the matter of Dr. John W. Schmidt, Jr., 1831
No full text2 items (0.05 cf). Reports of the Committee of the Medical Society of South Carolina on the matter of Dr. John W. Schmidt, Jr., 1831 consists of two documents produced by the Medical Society. The first item, dated Jan 7, 1831, is an extract from the minutes of the Medical Society about a meeting to constitute a committee to investigate the racial identity of John W. Schmidt, Jr., a license applicant to the Medical Society. The second item, dated May 2, 1831 is the cover letter produced to attend documents acquired by the Society from Dr. Schmidt's attorney James L. Petigru in regard to the allegations that Dr. Schmidt was ""of mixed race."
A note on empirical sample distribution of journal impact factors in major discipline groups
No full textWhat type of statistical distribution do the Journal Impact Factors follow? In the past, researchers have hypothesized various types of statistical distributions underlying the generation mechanism of journal impact factors. These are: lognormal, normal, approximately normal, Weibull, negative exponential, combination of exponentials, Poisson, Generalized inverse Gaussian-Poisson, negative binomial, generalized Waring, gamma, etc. It is pertinent to note that the major characteristics of JIF data lay in the asymmetry and non-mesokurticity. The present study, frequently encounters Burr-XII, inverse Burr-III (Dagum), Johnson SU, and a few other distributions closely related to Burr distributions to best fit the JIF data in subject groups such as biology, chemistry, economics, engineering, physics, psychology and social sciences.Journal impact factor; JIF; theoretical probability distribution; Burr; Dagum; Generalized extreme value; generalized gamma; Inverse Gaussian; Johnson SU; Johnson SB; Kumaraswamy; Log-logistic; lognonmal; log-Pearson; Weibull; Generalized normal; Hypersecant; Beta; empirical distribution; sample

The family moved to Melbourne in the late 1880s, where one son became the proprietor of the trade journal 'The Australasian Coachbuilder and Saddler'. The collection consists of family photographs and photographs used to illustrate 'The Australasian Coachbuilder and Saddler'. Photograph shows the premises of "Waring Bros. Coachbuilders patentees of the Automatic Slide-Seat Dog-Cart". Workmen standing outside are named from L to R as follows: "J.W. Waring, -, -, Peddle, -, -, T. Heron, Harry Jones, Duke, -, Nichols, A.

Teorema de Waring
No full textTreballs Finals de Grau de Matemàtiques, Facultat de Matemàtiques, Universitat de Barcelona, Any: 2018, Director: Luis Victor Dieulefait[en] In number theory, Waring’s problem (1770) asks whether for each natural number k exists an associated positive integer such that every natural number is the sum of at most s natural numbers to the power of . The statement was proved by Hilbert in 1909.
We present an overview of Hilbert-Waring theorem. First, we introduce the modern notation and find several lower and upper bounds using elementary methods. Next, we offer a proof of the theorem based on Schnirelmann’s density. Finally, we summarize the current state of the problem
