Audubon And Others, University Libraries--University Of South Carolina

Rare Books & Special Collections Publications

Among the greatest treasures of the antebellum South Carolina College was its complete set of Audubon's huge double-elephant folio Birds of America (435 plates), published in parts between 1828 and 1838. The current exhibition traces the development of bird illustration, to give a context for viewing Audubon's achievement. The exhibition is arranged chronologically, starting with European bird illustrations of the sixteenth century and concluding with Audubon and other nineteenth century illustrators.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman, 1860-1935 - An Exhibit Welcoming The Third International Charlotte Perkins Gilman Conference, University Libraries--University Of South Carolina

Rare Books & Special Collections Publications

This brochure accompanied the exhibit of works by Charlotte Perkins Gilman which was installed to welcome the Third International Charlotte Perkins Gilman Conference (March 30-April 3, 2001), an official USC Bicentennial Event. Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935), now best known for her story The Yellow Wallpaper, was also internationally recognized in her lifetime for her writing and lecturing in the fields of sociology and economics. All the books on display were drawn from the Gilman holdings in the Department of Rare Books & Special Collections.

Early Geology Books, University Libraries--University Of South Carolina

Rare Books & Special Collections Publications

This catalog is based on items displayed in early March 2001, for a class visit by Professor Pradeep Talwani’s undergraduate honors-college course in Solid Earth Geology. Most of the books have been in the library since the early 19th century, and some were among the books of Thomas Cooper (1759-1839), professor of chemistry and second president of South Carolina College (now the University of South Carolina). These earlier acquisitions have been joined by items of geological interest in the C. Warren Irvin, Jr., Collection of Charles Darwin & Darwinana, donated to the library in 1996.

Quasirandom Distributed Gaussian Bases For Bound Problems, Sophya Garashchuk, John C. Light

Faculty Publications

We introduce quasirandom distributed Gaussian bases (QDGB) that are well suited for bound problems. The positions of the basis functions are chosen quasirandomly while their widths and density are functions of the potential. The basis function overlap and kinetic energy matrix elements are analytical. The potential energy matrix elements are accurately evaluated using few-point quadratures, since the Gaussian basis functions are localized. The resulting QDGB can be easily constructed and is shown to be accurate and efficient for eigenvalue calculation for several multidimensional model vibrational problems. As more demanding examples, we used a 2D QDGB-DVR basis to calculate the lowest …

An Exhibit Introducing The Speiser & Easterling-Hallman Foundation Collection Of Ernest Hemingway With Correspondence Of Maurice J. Speiser, University Libraries--University Of South Carolina

Rare Books & Special Collections Publications

The University of South Carolina has received a major modern American literature collection. The Speiser and Easterling-Hallman Foundation Collection is centered on a superb collection of the books of Ernest Hemingway, with correspondence, transcripts, and proofs. There is additional strength in Maurice J. Speiser's correspondence with other friends and clients in literature, music, and the arts.

Observable Behavior For Implicit User Modeling: A Framework And User Studies, Jinmook Kim, Douglas W. Oard

Faculty Publications

This paper presents a framework for observable behavior that can be used as a basis for user modeling, and it reports the results of a pair of user studies that examine the joint utility of two specific behaviors. User models can be constructed by hand, or they can be learned automatically based on feedback provided by the user about the relevance of documents that they have examined. By observing user behavior, it is possible to obtain implicit feedback without requiring explicit relevance judgments. Four broad categories of potentially observable behavior are identified: examine, retain, reference, and annotate, and examples of …
