Charles T. Webber Letters to Wilbur H. Siebert
No full textArtist Charles T. Webber (1825-1911) sent these two letters in response to inquires made by Wilbur H. Siebert, a history professor at the Ohio State University. Siebert (1866-1961) requested a photograph of Webber's painting The Underground Railroad for his book The Underground Railroad from Slavery to Freedom (1898). In the first letter, dated November 10, 1892, is two pages in length and measures 4.8 by 7.8 inches (12.19 by 19.81 cm). Webber informs Siebert that he expects to finish the painting within three months, but cannot send a photograph until it is completed. He also refers to Siebert's "circular," a list of questions sent to those who had participated in efforts to assist fugitive slaves. The second, one-page letter from September 20, 1894 measures 5.5 by 8.3 (13.97 by 21.08 cm). In it, Webber apologizes for the delay in providing a photograph, but indicates that he will soon have the painting in his home, where he could take a good photograph of it. Webber was a native of New York state. He lived in Cincinnati from 1860 until his death in 1911. Webber created hundreds of works, including portraits, landscapes, genre subjects, and historical scenes. He belonged to many Cincinnati arts organizations and was considered the "dean" of the Cincinnati art community in the nineteenth century. Siebert was a professor of history at the Ohio State University from 1902 until 1935. Between 1891 and 1935, he amassed a wealth of material relating to the Underground Railroad. In the 1940s, he donated the materials to the Ohio Historical Society, together with records pertaining to his two other research interests, American Loyalists and East Florida

Webber Family Papers, 1895-1976
No full textThe collection contains ledgers and maps of the timberland business owned by several generations of the Webber family. The ledgers include primarily correspondence and financial information. The maps provide information about the family\u27s land holdings in northern Maine.
The ledgers are arranged by the company function they represent: executive, financial and production. The collection begins with copies of outgoing correspondence, 1955-1960, from G. Peirce Webber; much of it concerns acknowledgments of rent received for campsites on Webber land. Copies of deeds, permits, etc., follow, along with a scrapbook of newspaper clippings, 1903-1907, concerning land and lumbering.
The journals, 1928-1965, which make up a large part of the collection often list C.J. Webber as agent, presumably acting for other members of the Webber family in the management of their land holdings. C.P. Webber, Franklin R. Webber, R.B. Webber, M.P. Heald, C.J. Webber, T. Roscoe Webber, Anne W. Chase and Lucy R. Webber are all mentioned in various volumes. One of the journals records information about the estate of Charles P. Webber.
The maps are arranged chronologically with a section of undated maps at the end. Some of the maps were compiled by Charles P. Webber.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/findingaids/1060/thumbnail.jp

In situ combustion measurements of CO2 by use of a distributed-feedback diode-laser sensor near 2.0µm

Gasdynamics Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering,
Stanford University. Ikeda is
with the Center for Instrumental Analysis, Department of Mechanical
Engineering, Kobe University.High-resolution absorption measurements of CO2 were made in a heated static cell and in the combustion
region above a flat-flame burner for the development of an in situ CO2 combustion diagnostic based on
a distributed-feedback diode laser operating near 2.0 um. Calculated absorption spectra of high temperature
H2O and CO2 were used to find candidate transitions for CO2 detection, and the R(50)
transition at 1.997 um (the v1 + 2v2 + v3 band) was selected on the basis of its line strength and its
isolation from interfering high-temperature water absorption. Measurements of spectroscopic parameters
such as the line strength, the self-broadening coefficient, and the line position were made for the
R(50) transition, and an improved value for the line strength is reported. The combustion-product
populations of CO2 in the combustion region above a flat-flame burner were determined in situ to verify
the measured spectroscopic parameters and to demonstrate the feasibility of the diode-laser sensor.Mechanical Engineerin
Air quality impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in Texas: Evaluating three battery charging scenarios
No full textTammy Thompson is with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Carey King is with UT Austin, David Allen is with UT Austin, and Michael Webber is with UT AustinThe air quality impacts of replacing approximately 20% of the gasoline-powered light duty vehicle
miles traveled (VMT) with electric VMT by the year 2018 were examined for four major cities in
Texas: Dallas/Ft Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV)
charging was assumed to occur on the electric grid controlled by the Electricity Reliability Council of
Texas (ERCOT), and three charging scenarios were examined: nighttime charging, charging to
maximize battery life, and charging to maximize driver convenience. A subset of electricity generating
units (EGUs) in Texas that were found to contribute the majority of the electricity generation needed to
charge PHEVs at the times of day associated with each scenario was modeled using a regional
photochemical model (CAMx). The net impacts of the PHEVs on the emissions of precursors to the
formation of ozone included an increase in NOx emissions from EGUs during times of day when the
vehicle is charging, and a decrease in NOx from mobile emissions. The changes in maximum daily 8 h
ozone concentrations and average exposure potential at twelve air quality monitors in Texas were
predicted on the basis of these changes in NOx emissions. For all scenarios, at all monitors, the impact
of changes in vehicular emissions, rather than EGU emissions, dominated the ozone impact. In general,
PHEVs lead to an increase in ozone during nighttime hours (due to decreased scavenging from both
vehicles and EGU stacks) and a decrease in ozone during daytime hours. A few monitors showed a
larger increase in ozone for the convenience charging scenario versus the other two scenarios.
Additionally, cumulative ozone exposure results indicate that nighttime charging is most likely to
reduce a measure of ozone exposure potential versus the other two scenarios.Mechanical Engineerin
Hacktivism: a theoretical and empirical exploration of China’s cyber warriors
No full textChina is frequently reported as the source of many politically motivated cyber-attacks. Yet, there have been very few studies on the people behind such attacks, also known as hacktivists. In this paper, we have taken a step back and studied some of the reasons behind the rise of freelance hacktivism emanating from China. Using various criminological theories, as well as political and sociological approaches, we propose a novel theoretical framework behind Chinese hacktivism. Furthermore, we present an empirical analysis on the membership growth patterns of online Chinese hacktivist forums and use the observed patterns to support our proposed framework

Evaluating the energy consumed for water use in the United States
No full textThis letter consists of a first-order analysis of the primary energy embedded in water in the
United States. Using a combination of top-down sectoral assessments of energy use together
with a bottom-up allocation of energy-for-water on a component-wise and service-specific
level, our analysis concludes that energy use in the residential, commercial, industrial and
power sectors for direct water and steam services was approximately 12:3 0:3 quadrillion
BTUs or 12.6% of the 2010 annual primary energy consumption in the United States.
Additional energy was used to generate steam for indirect process heating, space heating and
electricity generation.Mechanical Engineerin
Fighting McCooks Painting
No full textCharles T. Webber created this oil painting, which measures 56.30 by 80.31 inches (143 by 204 cm), in 1871. It depicts the Fighting McCooks, an Ohio family that sent fifteen men to serve in the Civil War. Daniel McCook, Sr. and his eight sons, together with his brother John McCook and his five sons fought in the Civil War. Daniel (1798-1863) and John (1806-1865) were born in Pennsylvania, and moved to Lisbon in Columbiana County, Ohio in 1826. Daniel subsequently moved to Carrollton, where he served as Carroll County's first clerk of the court of common pleas. John settled in Steubenville, where he practiced medicine. When President Lincoln made the first call for volunteers, 63-year-old Daniel Sr. answered and his sons and relatives followed. Daniel Sr., Daniel Jr., Robert Latimer, and Charles Morris McCook were killed in the war. Charles T. Webber was a native of New York state. He lived in Cincinnati from 1860 until his death in 1911. Webber created hundreds of works, including portraits, landscapes, genre subjects, and historical scenes. He belonged to many Cincinnati arts organizations and was considered the "dean" of the Cincinnati art community in the nineteenth century
