Watkins Family papers, MSS.1530
No full textAbstract: A collection of papers, most of them relating to the business dealings of this Marengo County, Alabama family of cotton planters and slaveowners.Scope and Content Note: An extensive collection of papers, relating principally to Brackett O., and James L. and Eveline Watkins. They are arranged in three series relating to: the estates of James L. and Eveline; the estate of Brackett O.; and material pertaining to various members of the Watkins family. The majority of the papers concern the business transactions of James L. Watkins and the estate of Brackett O. Watkins. There are a limited number of business and household receipts and other documents belonging to the estate of Eveline Watkins.The collection contains business accounts, bills and receipts for farm equipment, supplies, and household purchases, records of cotton sales, records of slaves, tax receipts, bonds, a will, a legal brief, land appraisals, inventories, and surveys, personal and business correspondence, inheritance papers, agreements, and a court summons. All papers are originals.The papers of of James L. Watkins' estate reflect his transactions as a cotton planter and merchant. The collection is void of any personal correspondence. John Gray Allen was executor of James L. Watkins's estate and the bulk of the papers are addressed to him.The material concerning Brackett O. Watkins' estate sheds light his activities as a cotton planter. There is a limited amount of information dealing with his personal affairs.Biographical/Historical Note: James Watkins (1770--September 1, 1840) was born near Wadesboro, Anson County, North Carolina. He married Phebe DeJarnette ( - September 13, 1840). They had eight children: John, Brackett O., James L., Munford D., Christopher, Culpepper, and Jermina (Ingram). John, James and Brackett settled in Alabama. John lived in Wilcox County, while James and Brackett eventually settled in nearby Marengo County, where they both became became cotton planters.Brackett Watkins (ca. 1813--ca. 1842) married Dolly Curtis on December 4, 1834 in Marengo County, Alabama. She was the daughter of Samuel Curtis, a Revolutionary War veteran, and his wife, Elizabeth. Both Brackett and Dolly Watkins died by the summer of 1842. Their children were raised by Joseph Agee and his third wife, Elizabeth Curtis, a sister of Dolly.James L. Watkins (September 16, 1808--October 28, 1847) married Eveline Dumas (February 21, 1811--October 14, 1853) of North Carolina on February 24, 1829 in Wilcox County, Alabama. James L. Watkins made his living as a merchant and cotton planter in Marengo County. Eveline Watkins apparently maintained a separate estate with real property valued at $2000 in 1850. James Watkins was survived by Eveline and several children: Jeminia Q., wife of Reuben Pickett; Seraphina, wife of Isaac Dansby; Mary A., wife of Vastine J. Pope; Helen M. Watkins; Calvin H. Watkins; William H. Watkins; James D. Watkins; and Napoleon B. Watkins. John Gray Allen, a close friend of Brackett O. and James L., was the administrator of James L. and Eveline Watkins's estates (Allen had purchased land from B.O. Watkins in 1849). He later married Nancy Roe Kennon Curtis Boatright, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Curtis and sister of B.O. Watkins' wife, Dolly

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
Search for direct CP violation in D0→h−h+ modes using semileptonic B decays
Get PDFA search for direct CP violation in D0 → h-h+ (where h = K or π) is presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb-1 collected in 2011 by LHCb in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The analysis uses D0 mesons produced in inclusive semileptonic b-hadron decays to the D0μX final state, where the charge of the accompanying muon is used to tag the flavour of the D0 meson. The difference in the CP-violating asymmetries between the two decay channels is measured to be ΔACP = ACP(K-K+) - ACP(π-π+) = (0.49± 0.30 (stat) ± 0.14 (syst))%

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Hegel after Deleuze and Guattari : freedom in philosophy and the state
Get PDFIn the thesis I explain why an immanent approach in philosophy means taking contingency to be "irreducible". I show why Deleuze and Guattari believe this to be the case and why they think Hegel fails to do this. I then go on to show in what way Hegel incorporates contingency into his system and how he also creates his own sense of "necessity" that emerges from the systematic treatment of contingent concepts. In this way I show how Hegel can respond to the demand for immanence made by Deleuze and Guattari. I suggest that freedom, for Hegel, consists in the systematic treatment of contingency in our lives and in our thinking

Fully Turbulent Mean Velocity Profile for Purely Viscous non-Newtonian Fluids
No full textThe characteristic near wall behavior of turbulent flow of purely-viscous non-Newtonian fluids is discussed for both power-law (P.-L.) and Herschel-Bulkley (H.-B.) rheological models. A proper scaling is presented for H.-B. fluids to establish an analogy with power-law fluids with same flow index. To provide reference data for turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluids, DNS simulations of power-law fluids are conducted in a rectangular channel for a large range of power-law indices ( = 0.5, 0.69, 0.75, 0.9, 1, 1.2). The DNS data show that the mean velocity profile in the viscous and logarithmic layers follow expressions of the form and respectively, where shows a logarithmic dependency on the flow index.Comparison with some experimental data shows the above formulation to be valid for Reynolds numbers (based on shear velocity) as high as 1000
