More reliable determination of daily evaporation from the pan in cold regions by limited meteorological factors

Evaporation from water surfaces is influencing many environmental science processes. Evaporation from pan data is not available as the most well-known method of determining evaporation in many areas, and therefore, the application of experimental mathematical equations in this field is considered. Most of the data for extracting these equations did not belong to cold regions, and as a result, the accuracy of these equations in cold regions has low reliability. In this study, the equations of Trabert (Meteorol Z 13:261–263, 1896), Kohler (Tech Rep Geol Survey Prof Paper 269:127–148, 1954), Kohler et al. (Evaporation from pans and lakes, US Government Printing Office, Washington, 1955), Papadakis (Soil Sci 93:76, 1961), Ântal (Evapotranspiration from com field. Term paper submitted for Dr. R. F. Dale's Agronomy 537 class. Received from personal communication with Dr. Dale (Dept. of Agronomy, Purdue, 1973), Linacre (Agric Meteorol 18:409–424, 1977), Linacre (Water Int 19:5–14, 1994) in Two default and revised modes (14 equations in total) have been used to determine evaporation in cold regions (Emberger climate classifications). Performance index (PI) as an error metric was used to analyze the efficiency of the equations. Findings show that in the absence of proper datasets for revision, Kohler et al. (Evaporation from pans and lakes, US Government Printing Office, Washington, 1955) and Papadakis (Soil Sci 93:76, 1961) equations are more proper options for determining evaporation in cold regions. The revision process increased the efficiency of all equations, with the slightest improvement for Papadakis (Soil Sci 93:76, 1961) and the most improvement for Trabert (Meteorol Z 13:261–263, 1896). According to the behavior of Papadakis (Soil Sci 93:76, 1961) equation in the revision process and its efficiency in both default and revision modes, it can be considered a firm equation in the cold region. The findings reveal that the revised equations have little efficiency difference. It indicates that in cold regions, the influence of the default parameters of the equations on efficiency is more significant than their mathematical formula of the equation. Also, the revision has led to Trabert (Meteorol Z 13:261–263, 1896) equation with relatively good results due to less relative flexibility than other equations. Therefore, it can be concluded that the essential factor to increase the reliability of the application of experimental mathematical equations in determining evaporation from the pan is the use of revised equations with data from cold regions. In addition, among all the equations studied, the revised Kohler et al. (Evaporation from pans and lakes, US Government Printing Office, Washington, 1955) equation was recognized as the most efficient equation for determining evaporation from the pan in the cold regions studied.

Englesko-eskimski i eskimsko-engleski rječnici

This paper focuses on the English-Eskimo and Eskimo-English Vocabularies, published by the Government Printing Office in Washington, D.C. in 1890, which appeared with the general aim to motivate a wider range of people to learn about the Arctic Eskimos and make communication with them easier, but it was initially designed as a handbook for Alaskan school teachers. Although the publication can be approached from different perspectives, allowing many interpretations, the current author emphasizes the crucial circumstances under which it was produced, simultaneously drawing special attention to the existence of Eskaleut languages.

Expounding on Shared Decision-Making in Pediatrics

Although the term “shared decision-making” would not be officially coined until the 1983 President’s Commission report on Deciding to Forego Life-Sustaining Treatment, the concept was described 10 years earlier by Duff and Campbell in their highly controversial 1973 publication in the New England Journal of Medicine. 1 United States President’s Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research.

Stop the Presses! Let’s Begin Conversion to the New Depository Library System

By 1997, the last working photo-offset printing press owned by the Government Printing Office will be dismantled for shipment to the Smithsonian Institute. The presses will be sold one by one over the years because less and less government information will be published in printed form. The specialized printing jobs still remaining will be contracted out.

Ink under the Fingernails: Printing Politics in Nineteenth-Century Mexico by Corinna Zeltsman

Ink under the Fingernails: Printing Politics in Nineteenth-Century Mexico. U of California P, 2021. 350 pp. Corinna Zeltsman has made a powerful contribution to Mexican studies with this detailed and profound investigation, which traces the politics of printing through the multilayered sociocultural and governmental shifts that mark the long nineteenth century in Mexico, at one point the printing hub of the Americas. Zeltsman’s investigation takes readers on a tour through the intricate debates, on-the-ground labor practices, disagreements, and laws through which printing practices evolved, traversing printing workshop floors, government offices of shifting administrations, churches, collections of official and ephemeral printed matter, jail cells, and the streets of Mexico. The effect is a persuasive invitation to consider the centrality of print culture with respect to the larger dynamics that unfold around it as the century progresses. The sheer amount and variety of archival work in this piece of scholarship is extraordinary; Zeltsman draws from a range that includes several state and municipal, notarial, and church archives, libraries, records from the 19th-century Mexican national government printing office, and a special collection of 19th-century artifacts housed at the Sutro Library of California to reconstruct a complex series of portraits of the various and evolving political dynamics in which 19th-century Mexican print culture was [End Page 637] embedded. In the introduction, the author invokes the ideas of Ángel Rama, Benedict Anderson, and Jürgen Habermas to contrast their affirmations regarding print and the public sphere in different sociopolitical contexts with Mexico, and successfully argues the case for constructing a different, more nuanced type of framework from which to assess the complexity of print dynamics in the 19th-century Mexican context. The first two chapters cover the late colonial period. Chapter one illustrates how Mexico, in the development of a nascent print culture, differed from the classic narratives of the north Atlantic in which print capitalism evolved as an independently financed venture that stood in rebellious opposition to the status quo. In Mexico, printers relied upon the vertical privileges granted by the viceregal system that operated during the era of the Bourbon reforms in order to receive permission to establish their businesses, and political actors strongly influenced the news that reached the public. In one of several gripping case studies that emerge in this investigation, Zeltsman focuses on the Gazeta de México run by Manuel Antonio Valdés, and the eventual loss of his printing privileges due to a conflict with the viceroy regarding the role of print in demonstrating individual nationalist allegiances to the Spanish Crown during the monarchical crisis of 1808. Chapter two focuses on the uneven evolution of press laws at the tail end of the colonial era, which awakened an intricate set of conflicts that would require several decades to resolve. First appearing in the Cortes of Cádiz in 1810 Spain, the laws abolishing privileges and licenses were enacted during a two-month window in Mexico in 1812, and then again during the Liberal Triennium of Spain in 1820. The vague parameters around freedom of the press required the creation of a new regulatory framework beyond the Inquisition, leading to the birth of a censorship office and a press prosecutor. The result was an abundant air of uncertainty regarding what could be printed and why. A lively published debate between two writers and the printer-heir Alejandro Valdés sheds light on how the boundaries between authors and printers were still very much in flux, and an illegal and scandalous broadside in Puebla reveals the tenuous abilities of liberal forms of print censorship to maintain social order. Chapter three, set in the 1840s, marks a shift in the historic alliance between printers and the state as officials struggled to maintain social order in an era of extreme uprisings and instability. Who, ultimately, was responsible for a given published work...

A Journey of Transforming to an Online Government Documents Collection

As a selective depository library in Tennessee for decades, the Paul Meek Library has received and housed publications of the Government Printing Office (GPO) in a variety of formats as part of the library’s collection. Over the years, lack of consistent oversight and lack of staff have led to deficiencies in the development and maintenance of the government documents collection. The purpose of this paper is to share the library’s experience with using the Cataloging Record Distribution Program (CRDP) to provide a sustainable and accessible collection. The paper describes how the library collaborated with GPO and MARCIVE, Inc. to implement the project and transform part of the collection to online resources.

Supporting Those Holding the Thin Blue Line: Using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for Law Enforcement Families

Law enforcement officers have one of the most dangerous and demanding careers in the United States (Price in JAMA 35:113–123, 2017). Challenges such as shiftwork, hypervigilance, and anti-police rhetoric can lead to burnout and trauma responses (e.g. Neylan et al., in JAMA 27:1493–1508, 2010). These stressful trials do not only impact the officer, but also their spouses and families (e.g. Alexander & Walker in JAMA 10:131–138 1994; as reported by Bibbins (in:Resse (ed) Psychological Services for Law Enforcement, US Government Printing Office, 1986). Unfortunately, there are minimal suggestions for use of a systemic psychotherapy approach involving the entire family. This article discusses challenges officers and their families frequently face and proposes the use of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for law enforcement families. This article also provides suggestions for altering interventions to increase sensitivity for families and an example dialogue.

Printer in the middle: The Copyright Act 1879, the NSW Government Printing Office and legal deposit in nineteenth-century Australia

In The Government and Copyright, John Gilchrist poses the following questions regarding government and the Copyright Act 1968: ‘Should the government have a role as preserver of its own and privately owned copyright material? […] How adequate is the present law to achieve this objective?’ Similar questions could be applied to nineteenth-century Australia. As Government Printer, Thomas Richards oversaw the printing operations of the NSW Government Printing Office (GPO). When the Copyright Act 1879 (NSW) was enacted, Richards was appointed Registrar of Copyright and Office of Copyright Registry was situated at the GPO. Why was the government printer responsible for copyright, not the government or the libraries that oversaw legal deposit? Did Richards have the necessary resources? Was there a conflict of interest? This essay seeks to gauge the relationship between the GPO and the Copyright Act 1879 and the wider implications of copyright for nineteenth-century Australian print culture.

Simulated high frequency ray paths considering traveling ionospheric disturbances

This study presents a modified version of a classical 3-D numerical ray tracing code [originally by Jones and Stephenson (A versatile three-dimensional ray tracing computer program for radio waves in the ionosphere. Office of Telecommunications Report 75–76, US Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, 1975)], now linked to ionosphere, neutral atmosphere, Earth’s magnetic field, and traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) models. This method is applied to study the effect of TIDs on radio waves by simulating the waves’ propagation in a disturbed ionosphere. A 3-D cubic interpolation method is implemented in the ray tracing code to solve discontinuities and guarantee the ray tracing validity and accuracy under all conditions. Changes of the ground range distance (R) and the bearing angle (σ) are assessed for various simulated ray paths. A Pedersen ray case is also shown, for which small changes of signal frequency lead to enhanced variations. The study of HF ray path variations in terms of various TIDs characteristics and under different background ionospheric conditions and transmitter locations and radiation pattern can contribute to the mitigation of TIDs effects, either helping to improve existing methods or to develop new ones. The 3-D ray tracing code described and implemented in this work may well work for this purpose.

Solid organ donation after death in the United States: Data-driven messaging to encourage potential donors.

US deceased donor solid organ transplantation (dd-SOT) depends upon an individual's/family's altruistic willingness to donate organs after death; however, there is a shortage of deceased organ donors in the United States. Informing individuals of their own lifetime risk of needing dd-SOT could reframe the decision-making around organ donation after death. Using United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) data (2007-2016), this cross-sectional study identified (1) deceased organ donors, (2) individuals waitlisted for dd-SOT (liver, kidney, pancreas, heart, lung, intestine), and (3) dd-SOT recipients. Using US population projections, life tables, and mortality estimates, we quantified probabilities (Pr) of (1) becoming deceased organ donors, (2) needing dd-SOT, and (3) receiving dd-SOT. Lifetime Pr (per 100000 US population) for males and females of becoming deceased organ donors were 212 and 146, respectively, and of needing dd-SOT were 1323 and 803, respectively. Lifetime Pr of receiving dd-SOT was 50% for males, 48% for females. Over a lifetime, males were 6.2 and females 5.5 times more likely to need dd-SOT than to become deceased organ donors. Organ donation is traditionally contextualized in terms of charity toward others. Our analyses yield a new tool, in the form of quantifying an individual's own likelihood of needing dd-SOT, which may assist with reframing motivations toward deceased donor organ donation.

Assessing the validity of police integrity scale in a comparative context

ABSTRACT The current study examines the validity of the police integrity measure created by Klockars et al. (1997, The measurement of police integrity. Washington, DC: National Institute of Justice. pp. 65–70; 2006, The Measurement of Police Integrity. Research in Brief. U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, National Institute of Justice: Washington, DC: Government Printing Office. Available from: https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/181465.pdf). Whereas this theoretical and methodological approach has been used by many scholars across the world, there are no systematic assessments of its validity. We primarily investigate the criterion validity by assessing whether the data on police integrity are appropriately correlated with other independent indicators of integrity. We rely on the descriptive statistics from many prior police integrity studies conducted over the last 20 years and on other nation/state level available sources of data (Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, the International Crime Victimization Survey, the World Value Survey, and the World Governance Indicators). We find relatively robust evidence of criterion validity of the measures, although the strength of this relationship varies across criteria. The theoretical, methodological, and policy implications are discussed.
