There is a strong emphasis on postal history at the expense of articles on stamps.

  • University of Cincinnati
    UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI DATE: May 15, 2003 I, James Gilbert Jenkins , hereby submit this as part of the requirements for the degree of: Master of Architecture in: The Department of Architecture of the College of DAAP It is entitled: New World Trade Approved by: Michael McInturf Arati Kanekar NEW WORLD TRADE A thesis submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE In the Department of Architecture Of the College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planing 2003 by James G. Jenkins B.S., University of Cincinnati, 2001 Committee Chair : Michael Mcinturf Abstract In these Modern Times, “facts” and “proofs” seem necessary for achieving any credibility in a field where there is a client. To arrive at a “truth,” many architects quickly turn to a dictionary for the final “truth” of a word, such as “privacy” or to a road map to find the “truth” in site conditions, or to a census count for the “truth” of people migration. It is, of coarse, part of the Modern Crisis that many feel the need to go with the way of technology, for fear that Architecture might otherwise fall by the wayside because of its perceived irrelevancy or frivolousness. Following this action, with time, could very well reduce Architecture to a form of methodology and inevitably end with the replacement or removal of the profession from its importance- as creators of a “Truth.” The following thesis is a serious reclamation. The body of work moves to take back for Architecture its power, and specifically it holds up and praises the most important thing we have, but in modern times have been giving away: Life.

    Index to The Airpost Journal Vol 61-79 1990-2008 Index to THE AIRPOST JOURNAL VOLUMES 61 - 79 Page Section 1 Introduction 2 Airpost Journal Index 59 Author Index INTRODUCTION I have been a member of the American Air Mail Society for many years and during that time I have not done anything useful, except the payment of annual dues. One of the rules I have always adopted is if you are a member of a Society you should do something to further the cause of that body. My opportunity came when I read the President's Message in the December 2008 Air Mail Journal that he wanted somebody to up date the Index of the Air Post Journal so I volunteered little knowing of the task that I was undertaking. I am not a professional indexer but have had a little experience in indexing magazines in the UK. The task was to index the magazines from 1990 to 2008 (228 magazines) roughly in line with the index published in 1992. As previously stated the index continues from the previous edition except that I have included items from Letters to the Editor. I feel that there is much information contained in these letters which is of value to aerophilatelists. To quote the previous index "The APJ Index is meant to be a document helpful, but not comprehensive" and I have tried to continue in this vein. That said I hope that the Index will prove to be of some use. Needless to say any errors, omissions etc are entirely down to me.

The land had been inhabited by Native Americans for several thousand years. The Algonquian, Iroquoian, Siouan all resided along the Central Atlantic coast. After the discovery of the New World, England, the Dutch Republic, France, Portugal, and Spain all attempted to establish New World colonies. A Spanish exploration party had come to the lower Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia about 1560 and met the Native Americans living on the Virginia Peninsula.

  • 01 Edmunson Simulant
    SECTION 1: LUNAR HISTORY Dr. Jennifer Edmunson 1.1 Introduction Why understanding events in lunar history is important for engineers and simulant users: • It explains the motivation for exploration of the Moon. o To understand the evolution of our own planet. • It explains the origin of the operating environment for spacecraft, and ultimately influences the spacecraft design. • It describes human and spacecraft hazards. o Morphology of the landing site. o Micrometeorite bombardment. o Lunar regolith (boulders, dust). • It influences landing site locations. o Areas in permanent sunlight and shadow. o Regions of interest to scientists. • It provides the basis for predicting the chemical composition and physical properties of the lunar surface at specific sites. • It explains the impact history of the moon, which has changed the surface into its present form (creating the regolith). • It describes the processes that created the size distribution of regolith components, as well as their chemistry. 1.2 Initial Impact The Earth and Moon have similar chemistries and share the same oxygen isotope signature. This oxygen isotope signature is different from other planets and asteroids. Because of this, the Earth and Moon must have formed at the same distance from the Sun, or from a single chemical reservoir. The “Giant Impact” theory of lunar origin involves the proto-Earth being struck by a Mars-sized impactor (called Theia). Scientists favor this theory because it explains not only the similarities in composition (and the identical oxygen isotope signature) and the known mass of both the Earth and Moon, but the angular momentum of the Earth-Moon system.
