Letter from Timothy Donahue to his brother John, 7 August 1916
No full textTimothy Donahue writes from Eagle, Pass, Texas, to his brother John C. Donahue (possibly in Concord, New Hampshire) on 7 August 1916; he describes his recent activities as a member of Company F of the Vermont National Guard stationed at the U.S.-Mexico border, a ten mile hike they went on recently, and the YMCA building in their camp. Other members of the company include their brother Dewey Donahue and men from Northfield, Vermont. He saw that his letter (possibly written to Anna Welch of Northfield, Vermont) had been published in the Northfield News; he hadn't intended for it to be posted in the newspaper. He asks for family news and what their father thought of "his french girl."Timothy Michael Donahue (1893-1973) of Northfield, Vermont, served in the Vermont National Guard during the Mexican Border Crisis and in the U.S. Army during World War I. His parents ran the Norwich University mess hall for many years
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
How access to public transit may have saved many Americans’ homes during the Great Recession
No full textThe Great Recession which followed the 2008 financial crash saw massive increases in the number of homes being foreclosed and trillions wiped from homeowners’ equity. But the impact of the recession was not uniform across the country in all places. In new research, Timothy F. Welch, Steven R. Gehrke and Steven Farber look at the effects of access to public transport on house prices during the Great Recession. They find that houses less than a mile from stations in Atlanta, Baltimore or Portland all kept their value to a greater degree than those located farther away from stations.They suggest that this may be down to lower transport-related costs, better local economic conditions and greater access to employment opportunities
A bikeshare station area typology to forecast the station-level ridership of system expansion
No full textThe continuous introduction and expansion of docked bikeshare systems with publicly available origin-destination data have opened exciting avenues for bikeshare research. In response, a flux of recent studies has examined the sociodemographic determinants and safety or natural environment deterrents of system ridership. An increasing abundance of disaggregate spatial data has also spurred recent calls for research aimed at extending the utility of these contextual data to model bikeshare demand and trip patterns. As planners and operators seek to expand bikeshare services into underserved areas, a need exists to provide a data-driven understanding of the spatial dynamics of bikeshare use. This study of the Washington, DC, metro region's Capital Bikeshare (CaBi) program answers this call by performing a latent class cluster analysis to identify five bikeshare station area types based on variation in a set of land development pattern, urban design, and transportation infrastructure features. This typology is integrated into a planning application exploring the potential for system expansion into nearby jurisdictions and forecasting the associated trip-making potential between existing and proposed station locations.Gehrke, Steven R.; Welch, Timothy F..

Letter from Dewey Donahue to his brother John, 6 August [1916?]
No full textJeremiah Dewey Donahue writes from Eagle, Pass, Texas, to his brother John C. Donahue on 6 August 1916; he describes his recent activities as a member of Company F of the Vermont National Guard stationed at the U.S.-Mexico border. Members of the company included their brother Timothy Donahue and other men from Northfield, Vermont; both he and Timothy were vaccinated for small pox but it didn't work on them; a letter Timothy wrote to Anna Welch was published in the Northfield News. He also mentions an accident that badly burned one of their cooks.Timothy Michael Donahue (1893-1973) of Northfield, Vermont, served in the Vermont National Guard during the Mexican Border Crisis and in the U.S. Army during World War I.

We compile his key works relating to psychotic disorders, focusing on the trajectory of his theoretical stance. Our account is interlaced with our own interpretation of the evidence that influenced Crow's arguments over the years as well as his scientific method. Crow has had a significant impact on the neuroscience of schizophrenia. Many of his observations are still valid and several questions he raised remain unanswered to date.https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/psychological-medicine/article/seminal-contributions-of-timothy-j-crow/25B0EA70F496D0D3351937E44ADDD45
Is NAFTA economic integration?
No full textMost economists agree that trade liberalization raises incomes and living standards. To achieve trade liberalization, though, countries must sometimes first reach trade agreements. And trade agreements, as William Gruben and John Welch observe, may intertwine elements of both liberalization and protectionism. As an example, Gruben and Welch examine the negotiation process that preceded passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement. ; Is NAFTA economic integration? Although some authors think so, Gruben and Welch believe that interpreting NAFTA purely as economic integration is misleading. A more useful way to interpret NAFTA, they claim, is to start by recognizing it as the latest synthesis of an ongoing conflict between those who support trade liberalization and those who want trade protectionism. NAFTA offers broad-based trade openings, but it still contains restrictively protectionist components. In considering the efforts of trade liberalization advocates and trade protectionists, the authors also attempt to show how members of these pressure groups form alliances, disguise their efforts, and otherwise attempt to achieve their goals.North American Free Trade Agreement
Evaluating Research Impact through Open Access to Scholarly Communication
No full textScientific research is a competitive business – in order to secure funding, promotion and tenure researchers must demonstrate their work has impact in their field. To maximise impact researchers undertake high priority research, aim to get results first, and publish in the highest impact journals. The Internet now presents a new opportunity to the scholarly author seeking higher impact: s/he can now make their work instantly accessible on the Web through author self-archiving. This growing body of open access literature (coupled with new publishing models that make journals available for-free to the reader) maximises research impact by maximising the number of people who can read it, and making it available sooner. Open access also provides a new opportunity for bibliometric research. This thesis describes the relatively recent phenomenon of open access to research literature, tools that were built to collect and analyse that literature, and the results of analyses of the effect of open access and its effect on author behaviour. It shows that articles self-archived by authors receive between 50-250% more citations, that rapid pre-printing on the Web has dramatically reduced the peak citation rate from over a year to virtually instant and how citation-impact – now widely used for evaluation – can be expanded to include a new web metric of download impact
A Note on Isomorphisms Between Canonical Frames
No full textThis paper looks at the question of what kinds of automorphisms and isomorphisms can exist within and between canonical frames for modal logics. Specifically, this paper is able to partially answer the question posed by the author in [7] of whether F L ! ¸ = F L !1 in the presence of the extra-ZFC axiom "2 ! = 2 !1 ." We answer the question in the negative for all logics below S5 and for all logics satisfying a natural condition. In addition we look at automorphisms and show that while canonical frames for S5 in particular, and logics of bounded alternative in general, have many non-standard automorphisms, the logics satisfying the aforementioned natural condition have none.
