Letter, William Henry Herndon to A. D. Wright, Includes Response, November 6, 1866

This handwritten letter, dated November 6, 1866, is written from William Henry Herndon to A. D. Wright requesting that Wright find out what creek or lake Berry\u27s Creek or branch runs into. A response from Wright is written on the back of the letter letting Herndon know that Berry\u27s Creek empty into Blue Lake in then into the Sangamon River.https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/fvw-manuscripts-original-manuscripts/1156/thumbnail.jp

Assessment of a Dual-Wavelength Compensation Technique for Displacement Sensors Using Plastic Optical Fibers

The paper analyzes the performance of a dual-wavelength technique devised to compensate power fluctuations in intensity-modulated plastic optical fiber sensors, which were specifically conceived for the measurement of displacements in industrial and civil applications. These sensors retrieve the displacement from the variation of the attenuation along the light path and use two signals at different wavelengths to compensate for the effects of parasitic quantities, such as temperature and strains along the fiber. The theoretical behavior of the compensation technique is presented, and the results of experiments carried out with different combinations of signal wavelengths and plastic fibers are reported. The experimental setup has proved that, by proper choice of the compensation signal wavelength, it is possible to monitor displacements in the range (0 to 10) mm, even for low received power and under severe perturbation conditions, thus significantly improving the long-term stability of the sensor

Orders from William Emile Doster to James Brannin For the Retrieval of Bodies With Brannin\u27s Response, November 10, 1862

This handwritten set of documents, dated November 10 and 11, 1862, are the orders for Lieutenant James M. Brannin from William E. Doster to report to the city jail to retrieve the bodies of Sandy and Rachel Sutherland and Brannin\u27s report on the status of the orders as he carried them out. The orders were to take them peaceably if possible but by force if necessary and Brannin reported that the orders were carried out under the protest of the persons in command of the city jail. Doster\u27s orders are written on Headquarters Provost Marshal\u27s office letterhead.https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/fvw-manuscripts-original-manuscripts/1136/thumbnail.jp

Statistical analysis of emotions and opinions at Digg website

We performed statistical analysis on data from the Digg.com website, which enables its users to express their opinion on news stories by taking part in forum-like discussions as well as directly evaluate previous posts and stories by assigning so called "diggs". Owing to fact that the content of each post has been annotated with its emotional value, apart from the strictly structural properties, the study also includes an analysis of the average emotional response of the posts commenting the main story. While analysing correlations at the story level, an interesting relationship between the number of diggs and the number of comments received by a story was found. The correlation between the two quantities is high for data where small threads dominate and consistently decreases for longer threads. However, while the correlation of the number of diggs and the average emotional response tends to grow for longer threads, correlations between numbers of comments and the average emotional response are almost zero. We also show that the initial set of comments given to a story has a substantial impact on the further "life" of the discussion: high negative average emotions in the first 10 comments lead to longer threads while the opposite situation results in shorter discussions. We also suggest presence of two different mechanisms governing the evolution of the discussion and, consequently, its length.Comment: 26 pages, 16 figures, 6 table
