Eleven letters written by Ditto to his wife, in Natchez, Miss., while imprisoned at Johnson's Island; two postwar letters, written from New Orleans; and copies of his pay records, requisitions for fuel and forage for horses, and his resignation from the captaincy of his company in 1862. Subjects of the correspondence concern the progress of the war, other prisoners, religious services held in camp, the weather (particularly its impact on the availability and prices of food), family and friends, and (in postwar correspondence) his efforts to find a girl, perhaps from an orphanage, to work as an apprentice for his wife.
The 5th Experimental Chaos Conference was a gathering of scientists and engineers who work on real-world systems that behave in a nonlinear and, often, chaotic fashion. The proceedings present discoveries of chaotic behavior, explanation of nonlinear phenomena in the laboratory, and applications of nonlinear and chaotic effects to devices and techniques for improving performance and surmounting technical obstacles. Experimental work is presented on chaos in semiconductor superlattices, spatiotemporal chaos in magnetic materials, instabilities in magnetic fluids, bifurcations of hexagonal patterns in lasers, and discrete rotating waves. New phenomena are exhibited on amplitude death in couple...
The 4th Experimental Chaos Conference was a forum for members of the scientific and engineering communities to discuss recent developments in, and techniques of, experimental nonlinear dynamics. The focus of this important conference was on actual realizations of nonlinear and chaotic systems. The latest developments in applications of nonlinear dynamics and chaos were presented, the requirement being that all presentations were actually implemented in experiments or devices. The areas covered were spatio-temporal patterns, optical chaos, biological dynamics, communication and synchronization, control of chaotic systems, mechanical dynamics, fluid dynamics, quantum chaos, and chaotic condensed matter systems.
The 2nd experimental chaos conference provided a multidisciplinary forum for the scientific and engineering communities to present recent developments of and techniques in nonlinear dynamics. Major themes included control, synchronization, signal detection/characterization and communication. Major fields of interest included lasers, fluids, magnetics, electronics, chemically reacting fluids, cardiology, neurobiology and environmental sciences.
