Sutherland, Daniel, 1797-1835 (SC 589)

Finding aid and scan (Click on additional files below) for Manuscripts Small Collection 589. Ciphering book of Daniel Sutherland, probably of Casey County, Kentucky, dated 31 March 1825 to 2 December 1825. It was also used for the period from 16 July 1828 to 9 October 1828, and indications are that this record was the work of Uriah S. Sutherland

From a Distance

An exhibition of very large scale documentary photographs of the Elephant and Castle exhibited at London College of Communication. From a Distance was a commission given to photographer Paul Reas to respond to the regeneration of the Elephant and Castle in south London. Paul Reas was chosen for his track record of personal, socially committed documentary work. From a Distance forms part of the Elephant Vanishes project, a long-term documentation of the changes facing this area. The exhibition was curated by Patrick Sutherland and Paul Reas and co-curated by Monica Takvam and the accompanying catalogue (Fieldstudy 16) was edited by Patrick Sutherland and Monica Takvam, with a commissioned essay by Giles Fraser, the Guardian's "Loose Canon" columnist.

Developing study skills through technology supported learning

Report of a CELT project on supporting students through innovation and researchThe project described in this paper sought to develop generic study skills materials for a wide constituency of students. The learning materials defined in the project brief were to be technology rich and transferable to schools and departments beyond the School of Education (SEd). At the time of initial conception SEd was planning the creation of a set of 5 inter-related and self-supporting WOLF topics ��� WOLF is the University of Wolverhampton���s (UoW) virtual learning environment (VLE). WOLF topics (a discrete unit within the VLE framework), at that time, tended to be module specific; those planned by SEd were intended to provide an overarching resource for the variety of subject and professional routes within the school. Where micro topic describes module level and meso topic describes subject level then the intention was to create 5 macro topics one of which contained technology rich resources concerned with the development of students��� study skills

VCU Professor Researches Early Intervention Programs for Preschools, Ties to RTR Program

The Institute for Education Sciences, IES, a branch of the US Department of Education, awarded a grant to VCU professors Bryce McLeod, Ph.D and Kevin Sutherland, Ph.D to research behavioral problems in local preschool children. The four-year grant totaled up to $1.6 million

History of visual systems in the Systems Engineering Simulator

The Systems Engineering Simulator (SES) houses a variety of real-time computer generated visual systems. The earliest machine dates from the mid-1960's and is one of the first real-time graphics systems in the world. The latest acquisition is the state-of-the-art Evans and Sutherland CT6. Between the span of time from the mid-1960's to the late 1980's, tremendous strides have been made in the real-time graphics world. These strides include advances in both software and hardware engineering. The purpose is to explore the history of the development of these real-time computer generated image systems from the first machine to the present. Hardware advances as well as software algorithm changes are presented. This history is not only quite interesting but also provides us with a perspective with which we can look backward and forward

Comment on Universal Reduced Potential Function for Diatomic Systems

First principles prove why a recent claim by R.H. Xie and P.S. Hsu (Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 243201 (2006)) on the scaling power of a covalent Sutherland parameter to expose a universal function cannot be validated.Comment: 1 page, at the UGent archive, 11 references, revised for publication in PR

Ordinary Primes for Abelian Surfaces

We compute the density of the set of ordinary primes of an abelian surface over a number field in terms of the l-adic monodromy group. Using the classification of l-adic monodromy groups of abelian surfaces by Fite, Kedlaya, Rotger, and Sutherland, we show the density is 1, 1/2, or 1/4.Comment: 4 pages - added reference
