Aaron Joshua Rosanoff (26JUN1878 - 07JAN43)

I decided to read Aaron J. Rosanoff's body of published ideas in 1977.
(In  later note, I will mention Gruenberg's PELP collection, its scanned e-rendition, and what he taught me about using it. I found Rosanoff in that collection.)

Much of what I have done can be traced to his work. Alas, too late, I learned he was possessed by Eugenics ideas that I cannot support.

I just found an online version of a text of interest:



Note:
Rosanoff worked at Kings Park, possibly this one:

Profile of Research Career Possibilities. Case Study: Prof. S. Strathdee



When is an effect not an effect? APC, of course

Here's a web tool I ran across.
Does it produce the mutoscope trace as a graph?
Looking for a good graphing tool for that purpose, and to shift focus from eyeball pattern congruence evaluation to a non-linear functional analysis with parameters that can be compared across non-nested sample spaces.

Side-bar blog: Soliciting good decent diet places to eat in NYC

Pretty price-y classic Oyster Bar at Grand Central Terminal, but Mon-Weds there's a happy hour from 5:30-7 and also on Saturdays from 1-7 PM with GCOB Long Island Bluepoint Oysters for $1.25 each. Not half bad. Plus, nearby, there is a salad bar with a $4.99 salad of good mixed greens and dressing, with additional ingredients at 70 cents a pop (e.g., chickpeas, tomatoes, etc.).

 But my favorite salad place was Cafe Metro up Lexington Avenue at 45th or 46th street, just a few blocks away from GCT. $7.99 for a huge salad and multiple toppings. Helped me manage to keep my NYC meal costs at a reasonable level, and ate well. 

Longwood Gourmet buffet ($7.99/pound) at Lexington and 48th looked good, but my sample of various items prompted me never to return, except in a pinch. It helps that it's open 24 hours, but I'd have to be pretty hungry late at night to go back there again.
