  • The American Navies and the Winning of Independence
    The American Navies and the Winning of Independence During the American War of Independence the navies of France and Spain challenged Great Britain on the world’s oceans. Combined, the men-o-war of the allied Bourbon monarchies outnumbered those of the British, and the allied fleets were strong enough to battle Royal Navy fleets in direct engagements, even to attempt invasions of the British isles. In contrast, the naval forces of the United States were too few, weak, and scattered to confront the Royal Navy head on. The few encounters between American and British naval forces of any scale ended in disaster for the Revolutionary cause. The Patriot attempt to hold the Delaware River after the British capture of Philadelphia in 1777, however gallant, resulted in the annihilation of the Pennsylvania Navy and the capture or burning of three Continental Navy frigates. The expedition to recapture Castine, Maine, from the British in 1779 led to the destruction of all the Continental and Massachusetts Navy ships, American privateers, and American transports involved, more than thirty vessels. And the fall of Charleston, South Carolina, to the British in 1780 brought with it the destruction or capture of four Continental Navy warships and several ships of the South Carolina Navy. Despite their comparative weakness, American naval forces made significant contributions to the overall war effort. Continental Navy vessels transported diplomats and money safely between Europe and America, convoyed shipments of munitions, engaged the Royal Navy in single ship actions, launched raids against British settlements in the Bahamas, aggravated diplomatic tensions between Great Britain and European powers, and carried the war into British home waters and even onto the shores of England and Scotland.

  • Stephan Hruszkewycz Tuesday, September 25 • 4 Pm • Tech L211
    THE MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT COLLOQUIUM SERIES PRESENTS: Stephan Hruszkewycz Assistant Physicist, Argonne National Laboratory Opportunities for materials science with coherent x-ray diffraction imaging Recent progress in 3D coherent x-ray diffraction imaging methods can enable high resolution structural imaging of nano-structured crystalline materials under operating conditions. In this talk, I discuss developments in Bragg coherent diffraction imaging (BCDI) that aim to broaden the envelope of materials science problems that can be addressed with the technique. Following an introduction of the basic principles of the method, two specific topics will be discussed: 1) BCDI at high x-ray energies that provide dramatic penetrating ability, 2) Bragg ptychography that enable imaging of targeted sub- volumes of a crystal. Both approaches will be discussed in the context of materials science problems that can be addressed in-situ at next-generation synchrotron storage rings including the Upgraded Advanced Photon Source project now underway at Argonne National Laboratory. Stephan Hruszkewycz is a staff scientist in the Materials Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory. His research focuses on developing and using coherent x-ray scattering techniques to interrogate nanoscale materials structure and dynamics under working conditions to reveal structure-property relationships. Currently he is using strain- sensitive coherent Bragg diffraction to image subtle strain fields in nanoscale crystals for photonic and quantum information applications. These research thrusts are pursued at high-brightness synchrotron sources with state-of-the-art coherence-preserving beamlines, including those at the Advanced Photon Source, NSLS-II, and LCLS, and aim to broaden the applicability of coherent diffraction imaging within both the broader materials science community.

  • MEMOIRS Row Standing on the Stern, Venetian Style, from the Lido, Where I Lived, to the School in Venice, Where I Studied
    BRUNO BENEDETTO ROSSI April 13, 1905–November 21, 1993 BY GEORGE W. CLARK The initial motivation of the experiment which led to this discovery [of Sco X-1] was a subconscious feeling for the inexhaustible wealth of nature, a wealth that goes far beyond the imagination of man. That feeling was possi- bly generated by experiences in my previous work on cosmic rays; more likely it was inborn and was the reason why, as a young man, I went into the field of cosmic rays. In any case, whenever technical progress opened a new window into the surrounding world, I felt the urge to look through this window, hoping to see something unexpected.1 BEGINNINGS RUNO ROSSI WAS BORN April 13, 1905, in Venice, the el- Bdest of three sons of Rino Rossi and Lina Minerbi. His father was an electrical engineer whose successful career began with work on the electrification of Venice. He wrote in his autobiography2 that his father loved science and would have chosen it for a career except for practical consider- ations. He attributes to his father the influence that turned what may have been an “inborn tendency toward science . into a lifelong commitment.” He recalled: perfectly clear winter mornings when the air was so unusually transparent that the Alps surrounding Venice became clearly visible and appeared in- credibly close (Fata Morgana if you are a child or a poet, anomalous atmo- spheric refraction if you are a scientist). On those mornings I would try to find a sandalo (a small gondola) and, accompanied by a friend, I would 3 4 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS row standing on the stern, Venetian style, from the Lido, where I lived, to the school in Venice, where I studied.

She was evidently fitted out at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and armed with four cannon. Her command was given to Continental Navy Lieutenant Thomas ©awiatsea.com-posted August 2019 --1-- A William Nolen Van Powell painting of the Fly and the Mosquito . These rwo vessels were together in the Delaware River on 31 December 1776. The sloop Fly is correctly shown with black tarred sides and mounting four guns. Mosquito is shown as a normal small schooner. Her flag is correct for the time. --2-- Albertson, as a Lieutenant, Commanding. 1 Other sources indicate she was armed with four 9- pounder cannons, 2 but this certainly wrong as to the weight of metal.

  • Chronology of the American Revolution
    INTRODUCTION One of the missions of The Friends of Valley Forge Park is the promotion of our historical heritage so that the spirit of what took place over two hundred years ago continues to inspire both current and future generations of all people. It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that we are able to offer to the public this chronology of events of The American Revolution. While a simple listing of facts, it is the hope that it will instill in some the desire to dig a little deeper into the fascinating stories underlying the events presented. The following pages were compiled over a three year period with text taken from many sources, including the internet, reference books, tapes and many other available resources. A bibliography of source material is listed at the end of the book. This publication is the result of the dedication, time and effort of Mr. Frank Resavy, a long time volunteer at Valley Forge National Historical Park and a member of The Friends of Valley Forge Park.

    BOOK REVIEWS AND BOOK NOTES EDITED BY NORMAN B. WILKINSON James Logan and the Culture of Provincial America. By Frederick B. Tolles. (Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1957. Pp. 228. $3.50.) The life of James Logan is the story of a poor Quaker lad of Scottish descent whom fortune snatched from obscurity for the role of Pennsylvania's foremost citizen during the first forty years of the eighteenth century. Born in Ulster, Ireland, in 1674, Logan's career began in 1699 when William Penn, recognizing his talents, chose the twenty-five year old schoolmaster of Bristol, England, for his secretary and land agent in Pennsylvania. Henceforth, the debt-ridden William Penn could be thankful that Proprietary affairs in Pennsylvania were entrusted to one as faithful and competent as James Logan. By writing a life of James Logan, Professor Tolles has fulfilled a need long recognized, for Logan's career is second in importance only to that of William Penn in the early history of Pennsylvania. Professor Tolles' fluent style makes for understanding and appreciation. The author's sympathetic treatment of his subject offers an avenue for considering Pennsylvania affairs from the Proprietary point of view. As Logan's activities reached out to include inter-colonial and imperial relations, the problems of the Empire are elucidated by his life. Logan's abiding interest in science and his accomplishments in this field illuminate the development of this branch of knowledge in America. The nature of Logan's duties at once brought him into conflict with the unicameral Pennsylvania legislature, which supposedly reflected the interests of the people at large.

  • Inquiry – Benedict Arnold
    Inquiry – Benedict Arnold Hook discussion question: What is betrayal? The discussion must touch on themes of loyalty and trust. Other themes may include ethics and morality. Hook visual: Presentation formula Previous Unit: The Revolutionary War will be in progress. Saratoga (1777) should have been covered. This Unit: Narrative story to present a skeletal overview of the events. Then introduce the documents, to add “muscle” to the events. Next Unit: The Revolutionary War topic will continue and be brought to conclusion. Post-Lesson Discussion prompts 1. How should we go about weighing the good someone does against the bad? At what point is one (good/bad) not balanced by the other? 2. After the war, for what reasons might the British trust or not trust Benedict Arnold? 3. In the years following the war, America tried to get England to hand over Benedict Arnold to American authorities. Should the British give him up? Why yes/no? 4. One thing missing from the discussion of betrayal and loyalty is the concept of regret. How might this relate to Arnold, Washington and others, and by what means might it be expressed? 5. How likely (or not) would it be today for one of America’s top Generals to engage in a similar traitorous act? 6. To what extent would it matter if it is a General betraying the country or a civilian acting in a traitorous manner…should these be viewed in a similar light? 7. To what extent can a person be trusted again once they have already broken your trust? 8.
