This document discusses randomly changing radio frequency interference (RFI) detected in ALOS PALSAR data collected over the American Arctic. It presents an analysis of RFI signatures identified in the data and the development of an azimuth analysis-based notch filtering algorithm to mitigate the effects of the interference. The algorithm detects and removes RFI based on outliers identified in azimuth cuts through the range-frequency data. Results show the method successfully restores data quality and polarimetric signatures degraded by RFI from long-range radar stations. The document concludes growing RFI is an issue for microwave remote sensing and requires ongoing monitoring and mitigation efforts.

This document summarizes a research paper about the struggle between urban development and preserving pioneer cemeteries in Los Angeles County. It discusses two pioneer cemeteries, Evergreen Cemetery in Boyle Heights and El Monte Cemetery Pioneer Cemetery in Rosemead, that have faced encroachment from development. The document argues that pioneer cemeteries provide important cultural, social, and historic value as repositories of local history. They preserve the stories of ordinary citizens who contributed to the development of Los Angeles but have been excluded from the historical record. The document asserts that urban planning should strive to balance development with preserving these cultural landscapes and the histories they represent.
The documents provide information about traditional Chinese attitudes towards women's roles from ancient times through the 20th century. Document 1 discusses how Confucian texts emphasized women's subordination and obedience. Document 2 notes that while customs restricted women, they still had influence as mothers and wives. Document 3 explains that footbinding was meant to enhance femininity and status, not cripple women. Document 4 outlines how Confucian ideology confined women domestically and they became more educated in later centuries.
African Americans are the largest ethnic minority group in the United States, with over 55% living in the southern states. Their history in the educational system faced many challenges, as slaves were often forbidden from receiving any education and free blacks faced segregated schools. Even after the Civil War and emancipation, African Americans continued to face discrimination and legal barriers to equal education. The Civil Rights movement in the 1950s-60s helped achieve desegregation of schools through landmark cases like Brown v. Board of Education. Within families, elders played important roles in informally educating younger generations through storytelling, music, and oral traditions when formal schooling was denied.
Willa Cather was an American writer born in 1873 in Virginia and died in 1947 in New York.

Cosaan to Tostan- The Evolution of Wolof Women-s Verbal Art As aIana Robitaille
This document discusses the historical roles of griots and griottes in traditional Wolof society in Senegal. Griots were part of the ñeeño caste, just above slaves, and served as musicians, singers, praise-givers, and oral historians. Though they played an important cultural role, griots had a low social status. Griottes, or female griots, also used song as a tool of communication. The document explores how Wolof women's songs have evolved over time, from preserving tradition to empowering women. Interviews with griottes and analysis of traditional and contemporary songs examine the ways women both conform to and challenge gender norms through their verbal art.
Ancient Chinese society held strict patriarchal Confucian ideals that defined women's roles. Women were expected to be submissive to their fathers, husbands, and sons, focusing on domestic duties like cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing. They had little education or independence. However, some documents also note that women played important roles as mothers and wives, and a few texts argue they had virtues and potential beyond the domestic sphere. Competition among imperial consorts and empresses was intense and sometimes deadly as they vied for power and position. Footbinding was a practice that modified women's figures and movement from a young age to conform to ideals of femininity, status, and ethnicity, though it caused great pain.
This presentation was for the OELMA Cbus Litcamp on April 22, 2016. The focus is multicultural/global literature for intermediate, middle and high school students.

According to the data released by the NSO for the Financial Year 2021-22 on 31st May, 2022, the real GDP grew at the rate of 8.7 per cent. Thus, the growth rate of real GDP for India was higher than most of the other big economies. This is a clear indication that the Indian Economy is now on the path to recovery. But, challenges still remain in its way. The retail inflation is almost 8 per cent. The number of poor people is very high, the unemployment rate is at an alarming level, and a big part of the population is still grappling with malnutrition and undernutrition. According to the 'Report on Currency and Finance' published by the Reserve Bank of India on 28th April 2022, it will take another 10 years or more for the Indian Economy to recover fully from the adverse effects of COVID-19. All these issues have been adequately discussed in this 40th revised and updated edition of the book.
The organisation, structure and contents of the present edition are as follows:
Part I of the book 'Economic Development: A Theoretical Background' is divided into three chapters. It discusses the concepts of economic growth and development, common characteristics of underdeveloped countries, the role of economic and non-economic factors in economic development, the concept of human development, human development index, gender inequality index, multidimensional poverty index, etc., and issues concerning the relationship between environment and development.
Part II discusses the 'Structure of the Indian Economy' and consists of thirteen chapters. It is devoted to the discussion of various issues relating to the nature of the Indian economy including the natural resources and ecological issues, infrastructural development, population problem, unemployment and poverty (including a discussion on universal basic income), income growth and inequalities, etc.
Part III of the book 'Basic Issues in Agriculture' consists of nine chapters. It starts with a discussion of the role, nature and cropping pattern of Indian agriculture and then takes up for discussion the issues in Indian agricultural policy (including a review of the new global opportunities and challenges facing Indian agriculture in the wake of the various agreements concluded under WTO). We then proceed to a discussion of agricultural production and productivity trends, progress and failures in the field of land reform, green revolution and its impact on the rural economy of the country, agricultural finance and marketing, agricultural prices and agricultural price policy, the food security system in India, and agricultural labour.
Part IV on 'The Industrial Sector and Services in Indian Economy' consists of ten chapters. It starts with a discussion of industrial development during the period of planning and then proceeds to discuss some major industries of India. This is followed by a discussion of small-scale industries, industrial policy, role and performance of public sector enterprises, the issue o

This document summarizes and quotes from several sources about the history of Cherokee education, particularly the Cherokee Female Seminary. It provides context about the seminary's founding in the 1800s, its closure due to political pressures in the 1860s, its reopening and subsequent burnings in the late 1800s. It discusses themes of Cherokee storytelling traditions, gender roles, and the importance of local knowledge and oral histories in understanding Cherokee culture. The document concludes with a poem written by a 1905 senior from the seminary expressing hope that the school continues its role in Cherokee education and cultural preservation.
Racial segregation negatively impacted African Americans and restricted them in daily life. Blacks faced discrimination, violence, and inferior treatment compared to whites. The civil rights movement protested these injustices and activists like Rosa Parks helped challenge the segregationist laws and customs. Over time, the situation for African Americans gradually improved as civil rights legislation was passed and attitudes slowly changed, but racial conflicts and disparities continued to exist.

Editor's Notes
The presence of material relating to women is less apparent when browsing titles of collections in repositories, however their experiences and voices are represented in many collections across the country – including those of women with a connection to WNY Connect family/local history to significant historical events (local women involved in suffrage, reforms) Multiple perspectives (social, religious, ethnic/racial, gender-based differences on women in workplace, political issues, etc.) Validate research findings (confirm or invalidate factual data)
When investigating WNY women, we will often be referring to women who were born here, lived here for a time, or were buried here because of their local connection. Women in history can be inspirations for young girls to: Work towards goals of physical and intellectual excellence (Kline and Bethune) Make voices heard (Gibbs, Talbert) See Kit Kline article done by local high school students: http://laxman36.tripod.com/klein.html and the Buffalo Speed Skating Club: http://www.buffalospeedskating.org/about%20us.htm We will look for women of fame and infamy as well as….
Lesser known women from WNY such as housewives, working women, immigrants women, and other average and even below average women Helps empathize with women in general and better understand historical contexts of “unnamed” women who lived here
It is not just the formats of records that help determine their survival rate, but also the creators of those records. For a long time, most records created by women were considered insignificant and irrelevant to the larger historical record. Since the 1980s, we are in process of “catching up” and filling in gaps! During Olympics, people interested in history of winter sports – generates renewed interest in Kit Kline! Another “newer” interest is that of women of color – the Uncrowned Queens site is example. Just as earlier interest in male historical figures focused on “white, affluent achievers,” so too with women’s history (Love, deForest, Ball), but has been broadening rapidly – now GLBT, women in non-traditional fields of science and mathematics, and so on.
Additionally, each type of location where you will find records, there is an institutional infrastructure and resources that impact access to and use of collections, physically and intellectually. Many orgs. Have materials not processed, described or digitized (Aurora Hist Soc., Reinstein Coll.) and many orgs have archives that exist solely for parent organization, so collections not widely known or available (AKAG, Stella Niagara) Although many colleges and universities are the greatest digitizers of collections, many require a connection to their institution in order to use the collection.
These are sites where you can expect to find exhaustive and quality information. In addition, they will lead you to other sources on a topic or person you are researching. Ex – Encyclopedia Brit. – Go to Lucille Ball and see other pseudonym used (Diane Belmont) Google the name and get the Museum of Broadcast Communications (http://www.museum.tv/eotvsection.php?entrycode=balllucille) You can download videos of shows, interviews, and other materials from her career.

Harder to locate because we don’t know who they were – Edith Flanigen or, Their records are not preserved somewhere. Edith Flanigen was born in Buffalo, New York. She received a B.A. from D'Youville College and an M.S. in inorganic-physical chemistry from Syracuse University in 1952. Flanigen is holder of 108 U.S. patents. In 1991, she became the first woman to be awarded the Perkin Medal, America's top honor in applied chemistry. Maria Love grew up in a well-to-do family and was known for her social reform activities, yet little documentation of her life exists in collections – little interest in women social reformers at the time!
