Letter from J. D. Dodge to John Muir, 1862 Nov 2

Neosho, Nov. 2d, 1862. Friend Muir, I now proceed to answer your very welcome epistle, which was received some time since. I was glad to hear from you and that you had received the money. I am not teaching school this winter as I intended when out there, but I am in my Uncle\u27s store. I do not get quite as much money as I would teaching school, but I like the business better. We are having some quite cool weather here at present, it is snowing now quite hard There was quite a hard snow storm a few days since. How are you prospering with your studies? are you going to teach this winter? Where is Paton. I have not heard from him since I was there. They commence drafting in this State the 10th of this month. that is the report here. 264 to be drafted from this Co. 6 from this town There has a great many gone from this part of the country, and there are some who do not care whether many of them come back again or not. I have not enlisted, and do not think I shall very soon, but I may be drafted. I stand as good a chance asanyone. How are all of boys getting along there? Has the 29th regiment left there yet? Write what day they left if they have gone. My fingers are getting cold and stiff so I shall have to close. write soon, Good Bye, J. D. Dodge.P.S. I will send you Math- ewson\u27s address, perhaps you have it already. Eugene Mathewson, Co. A 1st N. Y. Artillery Albany Barracks Albany N.Y

Letter from J. D. Dodge to John Muir, 1862 Oct 1

[1] [Neosho?], Oct. 1st, 1862.Friend Muir, I now have an opportunity to write you a few lines, so I will make good my promise that I made when there. I started from Madison about 12 o\u27clock, got to Sun Prairie at daybreak; started from there at 6.15 arrived at Watertown at 8:15 sta\u27d there till about noon got home a little after dark. I like my watch well, but it stopped the next day after I got here, has not run any since shall like it better when it gets a running. I am going to town tomorrow, and I will get it fixed. If you can find that thing which [2] is gone out of the watch I wish you would be so kind as to send it to me. I will send that money by Express the same time that I put this in the P.O. Send me the note if you please in a letter. I do not know whether you can read this or not as I have not a very convenient place to write and it is so dark that I cannot see the rules on the paper. I expect to go to [Ocono?] nowoe] tomorrow, if I do I will send this, and the money. As soon as you read this consign it to purgatory, or some other place where no one will see it. Yours faithfully J. D. Dodge[3] write soon and let me know whether you get the money or not. 0030

Decline of Coral Growth Rates at Negril, Jamaica

Montastrea annularis heads were collected near Negril, Jamaica, along transects from open, normal reef conditions into the mouths of rivers draining the Negril Morass. Corals subject to turbidity (particulate peat and dissolved humic compouonds near rivers, re-suspended reef sediments away from them) were growing more slowly than those in normal circumstances. Surprisingly, corals growing fastest were slowing the most, and the slowest growers increasing growth rate. Linear regression analysis of growth trends over the past two decades revealed stable limit-cycle behavior: change of growth was inversely proportional to growth rate, with a very significant correlation coefficient of -0.92. We suggest that coral growth at Negril is negatively affected by turbidity in freshwater, but locally stimulated by nutrients near the source. Nutrients are likely to be rapidly stripped by dense mats of macrophytic algae which are over-growing corals nearest river mouths

The Geography of Scientific Productivity: Scaling in U.S. Computer Science

Here we extract the geographical addresses of authors in the Citeseer database of computer science papers. We show that the productivity of research centres in the United States follows a power-law regime, apart from the most productive centres for which we do not have enough data to reach definite conclusions. To investigate the spatial distribution of computer science research centres in the United States, we compute the two-point correlation function of the spatial point process and show that the observed power-laws do not disappear even when we change the physical representation from geographical space to cartogram space. Our work suggests that the effect of physical location poses a challenge to ongoing efforts to develop realistic models of scientific productivity. We propose that the introduction of a fine scale geography may lead to more sophisticated indicators of scientific output.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures; minor change
