Letter from A. H. Woodward to H. A. Sligh, Woodward, Alabama, May 23, 1945
No full textA document from an extensive collection spanning four generations of the Woodward family that operated merchant pig iron companies in West Virginia and Alabama. The collection begins with Stimpson Harvey Woodward (S. H. Woodward), a native of Massachusetts, who moved from Pittsburgh to Wheeling, West Virginia in 1852. He had interests in an iron company as early as 1852 in West Virginia and began Alabama operations in 1869. The family business continued in Alabama until the death of S. H. Woodward's great-grandson in 1965
A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Letter from A. H. Johnson, Indianapolis, Indiana, to Mrs. Alice H. Johnson, Nashville, Tennessee, January 18, 1924
No full textThis item is from the Alfred H. Johnson Letters collection. The collection contains letters a young soldier wrote to his mother, Mrs. Alice H. Johnson, who lived in Nashville, Tennessee. There are very few references to or details of war, but the letters show obvious affection for his mother and other family members. The last envelope, postmarked January 18, 1924, is covered with a dozen stamps and contains two photographs and a newspaper clipping of the war poem Prayer of a Fallen Soldier

No full text"A H Osler VX 23080 Driver 2nd 14th Field Reg 8th Division."A. H. Osler, VX 23080, Driver. 2nd 14th Field Regiment, 8th Division.These patches were signed by people who visited the Northern Territory during the Year of Commemoration of the Bombing of Darwin, 1992, or who wrote from interstate or overseas during that year. The quilt measures almost five metres by three, and is designed to resemble a typical porcellanite stone wall as can still be seen on some old Darwin buildings. In addition to the names on the Quilt there are nurse's colourpatch, the emblem of the Civil Construction Corps and twenty pictures of sites which would have been familiar to people of Darwin at the time. Some of the buildings can still be seen today, whereas others have disappeared as a result of enemy action, Cyclone Tracy or the indomitable march of progress. The illustrations on the Quilt were based on photographs taken during the war years and now held in the collections of the Northern Territory Library. The Quilt was made by Jenny Armour, and took about 18 months of weekends and other free time to complete, using techniques of patchwork, applique, and machine embroidery and was quilted using 100% Australian wool batting
