War Maps

Experimental Manufacture of Paper for War Maps

Early in World War II, a new map paper was developed that greatly improved the quality and performance of war maps. The National Bureau of Standards cooperated in the development and, subsequently, determined by experimental manufacture how to make the paper from commercially available raw materials. The best results were obtained in experimental manufacture by using fiber furnishes of 100-perc...

Translating Maps and Coordinates from the Great War

Many obsolete coordinate systems used in the past have fallen into disuse. However, the contents of historical documents still refer to these obsolete coordinates and thus translation systems are important in locating historical events. We present a specialized Linked Open Data API constructed to translate obsolete British Trench Map coordinates from the Great War into modern WGS84 coordinates....

War ,

Anyone who is inclined to think that the " Reading Wars " are over, or that the main warriors in these wars are only professional educators and researchers who support either whole language or phonics approaches to reading will continuously rethink their views during the reading of Reading across International Boundaries: History, Policy, and Politics. Openshaw and Soler have compiled a collect...

Stability of F-biharmonic maps

This paper studies some properties of F-biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. By considering the first variation formula of the F-bienergy functional, F-biharmonicity of conformal maps are investigated. Moreover, the second variation formula for F-biharmonic maps is obtained. As an application, instability and nonexistence theorems for F-biharmonic maps are given.
