"The careful reconstruction of the September 1, 1857 battle at Maricopa Wells, combined with the thorough and well-written summary of available information on patterns of regional conflict, makes ...this book a valuable contribution to the ethnohistory of the middle Gila and Lower Colorado River area." —American Anthropologist "Rarely do the skills of historians and anthropologists mesh so admirably." —Western Historical Quarterly "Kroeber and Fontana are meticulous professionals. Their study of this neglected slice of Southwestern history deserves applause." —Evan S. Connell, Los Angeles Times Book Review "A rich feast for the curious and theorist alike." —Pacific Historical Review "Kroeber and Fontana describe a little-known event, provide an effective analysis of the cultures of Indian groups in southwestern Arizona, and attempt to understand the broader causes of warfare. The result is an interesting and provocative study." —Journal of American History
The "Businessmen's Revival" was a religious revival that unfolded in the wake of the 1857 market crash among white, middle-class Protestants. Delving into the religious history of Boston in the ...1850s, John Corrigan gives an imaginative and wide-ranging interpretive study of the revival's significance. He uses it as a focal point for addressing a spectacular range of phenomena in American culture: the ecclesiastical and business history of Boston; gender roles and family life; the history of the theater and public spectacle; education; boyculture; and, especially, ideas about emotion during this period.
This vividly written narrative recovers the emotional experiences of individuals from a wide array of little-used sources including diaries, correspondence, public records, and other materials. From these sources, Corrigan discovers that for these Protestants, the expression of emotion was a matter of transactions. They saw emotion as a commodity, and conceptualized relations between people, and between individuals and God, as transactions of emotion governed by contract. Religion became a business relation with God, with prayer as its legal tender. Entering this relationship, they were conducting the "business of the heart." This innovative study shows that the revival--with its commodification of emotional experience--became an occasion for white Protestants to underscore differences between themselves and others. The display of emotion was a primary indicator of membership in the Protestant majority, as much as language, skin color, or dress style. As Corrigan unravels the significance of these culturally constructed standards for emotional life, his book makes an important contribution to recent efforts to explore the links between religion and emotion, and is an important new chapter in the history of religion.
The IEEE 1857 Standard for Advanced Audio and Video Coding was released as IEEE 1857-2013 in June 2013. Despite consisting of several different groups, the most significant feature of IEEE 1857-2013 ...is its Surveillance Groups, which can not only achieve at least twice the coding efficiency on surveillance videos as H.264/AVC High Profile, but it's the most analysis-friendly video coding standard. This article presents an overview of IEEE 1857 Surveillance Groups, highlighting background model-based coding technology and analysis-friendly functionalities. IEEE 1857-2013 will present new opportunities and drive research in smart video surveillance communities and industries.
In July 2019, three polychaetae specimens of the genus Ctenodrilus were found in oyster cages on silted oyster shells. The cages from a mussel-and-oyster farm located at the outer roadstead of ...Sevastopol Bay were suspended at a depth of 6–8 m. The bottom soil under the mussel-and-oyster farm is silted sand, and the depth is of 16 m. During the sampling, water temperature was of +23 °C, and the salinity was of 17.7 ‰. Thus, according to morphological characteristics, polychaetae we found should be classified as Ctenodrilus serratus (Schmidt, 1857). Photographs of alive and fixed polychaetae, chaetae patterns, and a schematic representation of their number by segments are presented. At the beginning of the XX century, a single specimen of this species was found in the Black Sea.
Akademik Andrija Mohorovičić (1857. – 1936.), pronalazač MOHO diskontinuiteta Zemljine kore i svjetski poznati istraživač potresa početkom 20. stoljeća, objavio je 1911. godine u profesionalnom i ...znanstvenom časopisu Vijesti Hrvatskoga društva inžinira i arhitekta raspravu o djelovanju potresa na zgrade, u kojoj je predložio projektiranje i izračun onodobnih konstrukcija otpornih na potres, te ojačanje starijih, već sagrađenih struktura. Ta pionirska rasprava nije utjecala na donošenje posebnih zakonskih propisa o protupotresnoj izgradnji na području grada Zagreba, za razliku od Ljubljane nakon potresa 1895. godine. No rezultati rasprave bili su neizravno implementirani prilikom noveliranja postojećih odredbi Reda građenja koji je bio na snazi od 1857. do 1940. godine, odnosno Građevinskog pravilnika iz 1940. godine, koji je nakon što je 1946. godine formalno proglašen nevažećim, neformalno ostao na snazi za protupotresne odredbe sve do donošenja prvoga jugoslavenskog propisa 1964. godine, nakon razornog potresa u Skopju 1963. godine.
Why many major strike-slip faults known to have had large earthquakes are silent in the interseismic period is a long-standing enigma. One would expect small earthquakes to occur at least at the ...bottom of the seismogenic zone, where deeper aseismic deformation concentrates loading. We suggest that the absence of such concentrated microseismicity indicates deep rupture past the seismogenic zone in previous large earthquakes. We support this conclusion with numerical simulations of fault behavior and observations of recent major events. Our modeling implies that the 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake on the San Andreas Fault in Southern California penetrated below the seismogenic zone by at least 3 to 5 kilometers. Our findings suggest that such deeper ruptures may occur on other major fault segments, potentially increasing the associated seismic hazard.
The moment magnitude $(M_w )$ 7.9 Fort Tejon earthquake of 1857, with a ~350-kilometer-long surface rupture, was the most recent major earthquake along the south-central San Andreas Fault, ...California. Based on previous measurements of its surface slip distribution, rupture along the ~60-kilometer-long Carrizo segment was thought to control the recurrence of 1857-like earthquakes. New high-resolution topographic data show that the average slip along the Carrizo segment during the 1857 event was 5.3 ± 1.4 meters, eliminating the core assumption for a linkage between Carrizo segment rupture and recurrence of major earthquakes along the south-central San Andreas Fault. Earthquake slip along the Carrizo segment may recur in earthquake clusters with cumulative slip of ~5 meters.
The article considers how women writers and artists in the patriarchal society of turn of the century Dublin connected with, and supported one another, through correspondence, salon culture and ...female portraiture. Women were prominent both in contemporary political campaigns and in the arts, in which the writer Jane Barlow and the artist Sarah Purser were well-known figures. This article considers their work and careers, focusing on a close correspondence between Barlow and Purser which demonstrates their personal and professional interdependence and traces the emergence of collaborative projects. Their friendship and collaboration are embodied in an oil portrait of Barlow painted by Purser in 1894, in which Barlow sits with an open book and another nearby. It is suggested that this portrait, which brought together two creative women, helped break fresh ground in Ireland, not by simply picturing a writer, but by depicting a new kind of female subject, a woman as intellectual.

Abstract
Karl Marx and the Chartist leader, writer and poet Ernest Jones developed a close intellectual and political partnership from the late 1840s through the late 1850s. Their friendship invites ...attention because it places Marx in the company of one of Chartism's leading anti-colonial advocates, precisely at a time when he was simultaneously moving in that direction. This article explores the ways in which Marx and Jones converged in their estimation of the 1857 Indian uprising. It is argued that the shift in Marx's thought, whereby the dialectics of colonialism and anti-colonialism are integrated within his materialist conception of history, was not independent of Jones's influence.
