/1/ Edward Jarvis, son of Francis and Melicent [sic] Jarvis recorded in the life of Charles Jarvis, was born in Concord, Mass., Jan. 9th, 1803.' From early childhood he attended the town schools, almost without interruptions, until he was sixteen years old. He was fond of mechanics. In his boyhood, he made windmills, water mills, trip-hammers, and put them on the corner of the buildings, or in ...

A low computational complexity noise-balanced error diffusion (NBEDF) technique is proposed for embedding watermark into error-diffused images. The visual decoding pattern can be perceived when two or more similar NBEDF images are overlaid each other, even in a high activity region. Furthermore, with the modified improved version of NBEDF, the two halftone images can be made from two total diff...

Abstract Microstructures, including crystallographic fabric, within the margin of streaming ice can exert strong control on flow dynamics. To characterize a natural setting, we retrieved three cores, two which reached bed, from flank Jarvis Glacier, eastern Alaska Range, Alaska. The core sites lie ~1 km downstream source, with abundant water present in extracted cores and at base glacier. All e...

Vegetated surfaces, such as grasslands and croplands, constitute a significant portion of the earth’s surface and play an important role in land–atmosphere exchange processes. This study focuses on one important parameter used in describing the exchange of moisture from vegetated surfaces: the minimum canopy resistance (rcmin). This parameter is used in the Jarvis canopy resistance scheme that ...

There came, at this time, a light from another and remote quarter. His classmate and lifelong friend, Mr. Hosmer, went to Louisville to preach through the winter of 1835-36. While there he found many families from New England. They said they were contented in that strange land except in time of sickness, and then they felt the want of a Yankee Doctor with whose habits and sympathies they were f...

Edward Jarvis's Autobiography (completed in 1873) was dictated, in the third person when he was seventy, to his wife, Almira (1804-1884), a silent figure who was an alter ego throughout their marriage. It gives a retrospective view of his life, is a reworking of the diaries he kept as a young man, and an interesting document of re-written, oral autobiography, but it is not a "confession" in the...

We prove many cases of a conjecture of Buzzard, Diamond and Jarvis on the possible weights of mod p Hilbert modular forms, by making use of modularity lifting theorems and computations in p-adic Hodge theory.
