My dear Friends:
I received your thoughtful Christmas present a few days ago and was not only surprised but was very much pleased with the sweater. Tell me, how did you know my size? It arrived in good condition even if it was a little late.
Since I last wrote my address has been changed.
It now is:
Stf Sgt. Robert E. Wyatt Office of the Division Paymaster First Marine Division, F. M. F. c/o Fleet Post Office, San Francisco, Calif.
I like my new place very much. At last I’m doing the type of work I’ve been longing to do ever since I’ve been in the pay office, that is, auditing of payrolls.
Would someone on the correspondence committee please write me and tell me what some of the other boys in the service, who were former Bryant Graduates, are now doing? I’m mostly interested in William McCaughey, Donald Seaton, Roger Gaioni, and Clarence Scott.
Say hello to the faculty for me and tell them that I’ll drop in and see them some one of these days. Has Uncle Sam’s Army caught up to Mr. Lambert, Mr. Naylor, Mr. Lee, Mr. Gulski, or any of the other faculty members yet? Remember me to them all.
Thanking you again for the very nice sweater I remain,
A loyal friend, Stf Sgt. Robert E. Wyatt [Transcription ends

Influenza type C virus biology, interaction with the host, and epidemiology
No full textDue to the character of the original source materials and the nature of batch digitization, quality control issues may be present in this document. Please report any quality issues you encounter to [email protected], referencing the URI of the item.Includes bibliographical references.Issued also on microfiche from Lange Micrographics.Influenza C virus is an enveloped RNA virus with seven single-stranded, negative-sensed RNA segments with 9 genes (Influenza types A and B viruses have 8 RNA segments with 10 genes). Influenza C virus RNA segments 1, 2, and 3 encode three basic protein polymerases, P1, P2, P3 respectively, which form a transcriptase that includes a capped RNA primer binding site, a nucleotide binding site, and a site for nucleotide chain elongation. Influenza virus RNA segment 4 codes for the one surface glycoprotein, HEF, which is responsible for attachment to the sialic acid host cell receptor, receptor destruction, and viral-cell fusion (similar to the HN glycoprotein of Paramyxoviruses). RNA segment 5 codes for the nucleoprotein (NP) which is the backbone of the helical nucleocapsid. Influenza C virus RNA segment 6 encodes mRNA which is spliced for translation of the matrix protein (M)(Influenza A and B viruses do not use spliced mRNA for the main M protein). The M protein functions in the assembly and budding of the virus. At present, the nonstructural proteins (NS1 and NS2) encoded by Influenza C virus RNA segment 7 have no known biological function. Replication and pathogenesis of Influenza C virus is similar to that of Influenza types A and B viruses, except Influenza C virus uses the 9-0-acetylated sialic acid receptor on the host cell, primary uncoating is slower, and secondary uncoating of the virus requires alkaline pH (similar to Paramyxoviruses)

Novel Methodologies Using History to Document the Effects of African American Sexual Trauma: Perspectives of Gail E. Wyatt, PhD
No full textThis article describes the nearly half a century career of Dr. Gail E. Wyatt, PhD, and her development of novel methodologies and measures of sexual trauma, specifically the Wyatt Sex History Questionnaire and the University of California, Los Angeles, Life Adversities Screener. These approaches broke the silence around experiences of sexual violence, particularly among African Americans, identifying their effects on sexual functioning and mental health. These novel methods are designed without assuming sexual literacy of respondents, knowledge of anatomy, or that discussing sex is easy or common; they include topics that are considered private and may evoke emotions. Trained professionals administering face-to-face interviews can serve to establish rapport and educate the participant or client while minimizing possible discomfort and shame around the disclosure of sexual practices. In this article, four topics are discussed focusing on African Americans, but they may also be relevant to other racial/ethnic groups: (a) breaking the silence about sex, (b) sexual harassment: its disclosure and effects in the workplace, (c) racial discrimination: identifying its effects as a form of trauma, and (d) the cultural relevance of promoting sexual health. Historical patterns of abuse and trauma can no longer be ignored but need to be better understood by psychologists and used to improve policy and treatment standards. Recommendations for advancing the field using novel methods are provided. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

Time-accurate experimental investigation of hypersonic inlet buzz at Mach 5
No full textHypersonic inlet buzz is investigated experimentally in a ramjet intake at Mach 5. A two-dimensional planar inlet featuring a double-compression ramp with 10 and 22° inclination to the freestream direction and a rectangularcross- section duct is tested.A solenoid is used to raise a barrier into the flow and initiate buzz at high throttling ratios. Static pressure is measured at a data sample rate of 10 kHz, and schlieren images are collected at an image frame rate of 30 kHz. Oscillations in the flow not linked to buzz are present at both zero and full throttle, and they cause a high-amplitude pressure peak at very high frequency (higher than 3 kHz). At full throttle, buzz is spotted, in the contemporary presence of shear layers being ingested by the intake (Ferri criterion) and of separated flow lying on the second compression ramp (Dailey criterion). Both features are analyzed by means of the standard deviation of the frames captured. The kind of buzz hereby observed activates high-amplitude pressure oscillations at both low frequencies and high frequencies. The unstarted flowfield is largely subsonic inside the intake and allows for the use of the linear acoustic theory. Indeed, one of the peaks recorded matches the quarter-wave resonator frequency (1411 Hz) of the inlet, suggesting that the barrier acts as a solid wall and that the inlet model behaves as a duct with a closed end

Citrogramma citrinoides Wyatt 1991
No full textCITROGRAMMA CITRINOIDES WYATT, 1991 Citrogramma citrinoides Wyatt, 1991: 158. Holotype: ♂, BMNH, by original designation. Type locality: Malaysia: Mt Jasar. Wyatt, 1991: 158, figs 6 and 14. Syrphus variscutatus of Curran, 1928 (in part). Geographical distribution: Malay Peninsula (Pahang), Hainan. Differential diagnosis: Distinct species only known from male specimens. Face yellow, lunule yellow, scutellum yellow, metafemur black and pro- and mesofemur yellow. Very similar to C. flavigenum but C. flavigenum with lunule black, brown macula on facial tubercle, and pro- and mesofemur black basally; both species yellow pilose on notopleuron and on supra-alar area, but C. citrinoides has little black hairs. Citrogramma flavigenum is only known from southern India. Remarks: Little variation was found in the type series and nontype material. The most evident is tergum 3 usually with a yellow fascia with parallel margins, but some specimens have this fascia slightly emarginate posteromedially (Fig. 90). After the study of the type material, I realised that some individuals have pro- and mesofemur with a posterobasal brownish area, but entirely yellow anterobasally. This only posterior diffuse macula is very distinct from the other character state used in couplet 40 of the key: pro- and mesofemur black basally. A male was found labelled as paratype and not noted in the original description (Malaysia, Pahang, Cameron Highlands, 5000–5500 ft, 12.vi.1935, H.M. Pendlebury, BMNH). The paratype male collected on 22.ix.1938 has a head glued on of a different syrphid genus, Allograpta Osten Sacken, 1875. As mentioned by Wyatt (1991), there are some individuals that were identified as paratype or paralectotype of C. variscutatum (Curran, 1928). They are placed in the nontype material.

Letter Written by Robert E. Wyatt to the Bryant College Service Club Dated December 29, 1942

29 December 1942
Sgt. Robert E. Wyatt
Dear Friends:
I was very much pleased and surprised to receive the College paper “On the Campus” and also the Alumni Bulletin.
It has given me a chance to see what all my old friends back at Bryant are doing these days. I know one think [sic], you at Bryant haven’t forgotten the boys in the service. If you had you wouldn’t have sent the paper or the bulletin to me.
It was just a little over a year ago that I left Bryant to join the Marines, and I’m not at all sorry I did. I have had the good fortune to have gotten in the Pay Office of one of the Regiments. This is just the type of work I wanted to get into. It is very interesting work and it is in the Pay Office where I have earned my different ranks, just making Sergeant a few days ago.
It is interesting to see where the fellows are stationed over the world. Roger Gaioni, Arthur Bowler, Earnest Jordan, Alfred Rockwood, Varad Varadian, and the rest of them. I know them all. But other than knowing where these men are it does me good to know what the Bryant Service Club is doing for these fellows, besides doing things for defense. Keep up the good work and best of luck for what you are doing.
Remember me to all of the members of the faculty. Bryant will be at a loss if such teachers as Mr. Lee, Mr. Mercier, Mr. Shore and the others are taken through the “draft”. To them I send my best wishes.
With that I must bring this letter to a close and get back to work. Best wishes again to you all and may 1943 be the best year ever had at Bryant.
Always a friend,
Sgt. Robert E. WyattU. S. M. C. R. [Transcription ends
