Raised in the livestock industry where he was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts on September 28, 1896, Loring Vinson Tirrell helped drive livestock to Brighton, the first livestock market in North America, developed to feed George Washington’s Continental Army. With such an introduction to fine livestock in an area steeped in early importations of livestock and their competitive marketing, he s...

This paper elaborates on optimal scheduling of coordinated power and natural gas (NG) networks in the presence interconnected energy hubs considering reconfiguration as a flexibility source. With regard to hub system consisting several generation units, storage conversion technologies, well gas-fired high interdependency between electricity carriers should be captured. The hourly capability is ...

Elizabeth C., unmarried, a delicate, fragile girl of 16, was admitted into the Weymouth Sanatorium on the 25th of March, 1892, on account of a gradually increasing enlargement of the abdomen of about two years' duration. Her general health had been fairly good. The menstrual discharge appeared at intervals of about two weeks, and was rather profuse. Her ailment caused her a good deal of discomf...

The capacity of the retina to discriminate form decreases rapidly just outside the fovea and continues to diminish peripherally. Wertheim's classical data^ show a steep drop in relative visual acuity from 1.00 at the fovea to 0.46 at 5 degrees , and then a slower drop to 0.20 at 10 degrees. An acuity of 0.20 could still be measured at 20 degrees. Ludvigh's meas-urements' roughly parallel these,...

Multiview (n-view, or multiple view) 3D reconstruction is the computationally complex process by which a full 3D model is derived from a series of overlapping images. It is based on research in the field of computer vision which in turn relies on older methods from photogrammetry. This report presents a multiview reconstruction tool chain composed from various freely available, open source comp...

contaminated environments, illustrating the importance of considering the potential for wild populations to adapt to their local environment, and its implications for environmental management. Furthermore, we investigated the effects of hypoxia, a common stressor in aquatic systems, on the toxicity of model chemicals to fish. Copper toxicity to zebrafish embryos was strongly affected by hypoxia...

Accurate modelling of the performance a yacht in varying environmental conditions can significantly improve yachts performance. However, racing is highly complex multi-physics system meaning that real-time prediction tools are always semi-empirical, leaving significant room for improvement. In this paper we first use unsupervised machine learning to analyse full-scale data. The widely documente...
