June 29, 1943, aboard the USNS "Escalante", a tanker (hull number AO70). This was followed by assignments aboard a further 229 ships before her career at the Navy yard ended in January 1946. Stern was born December 7, 1923, in Norfolk, Virginia, the second of seven children of Milford Josiah Stern, a real estate and life insurance agent, and Thelma Georgia Bendler Stern, who served as a yeomanette during World War I. Prior to the Great Depression, the Stern family enjoyed a prosperous

Thelma Bendler Stern


Thelma Bendler Stern (b. December 7, 1923; married name: Neubauer) is the first woman assigned to perform duties aboard a United States Navy ship as part of her official responsibilities. Stern was a civilian employee at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard during World War II, working in the engineering department. Her job as a ship's draftsman included taking measurements of ship features as required by her engineer colleagues to allow them to designate the placement of upgrades such as new anti-aircraft guns. Stern’s first assignment aboard ship occurred

had to travel to other cities around the state for weeks at a time, leaving Thelma, the eldest daughter, largely in charge of overseeing the younger children and running the household. With the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor occurring on the morning of her 18th birthday, an outraged Thelma Stern yearned to do whatever she could to help the US war effort. Still a junior in high school, she signed up for the mechanical drawing class at her high school, a course that had previously been open only to male students.

upper-middle-class lifestyle, frequently traveling between their homes in New York and Norfolk. During the Depression, a series of events dominated by the failure of Mr. Stern’s stock market investments resulted in the family’s poverty. In the early 1930s they settled into a home in Norfolk, where Mr. Stern found work to provide for the family. His death by pneumonia in 1934 left Mrs. Stern raising seven children alone, ranging in age from two to thirteen years. Mrs. Stern worked for the Virginia Statistical Bureau and often

captains refused to allow a female to board their ship. In those instances, the work schedule was adjusted to swap the ship that Stern had been assigned to with that of a male colleague. As part of the demobilization program, Stern was released from her employment at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in January 1946. She moved to Baltimore, Maryland, to accept a position as a draftsman with the Glenn L. Martin Company. There she met a fellow draftsman named Clarence Neubauer. They married in 1947 and raised five children together in

department on June 7, 1943, assigned to the weights and stability section of the hull department. Many of her civilian male colleagues were either retired from service in the Navy, or were unfit for military service – disabled in ways that limited their ability to maneuver aboard ships, which required climbing ladders and stepping through narrow passageways. In order to accomplish work at the necessary pace, the chief engineer of the hull department used some of his female employees to obtain the precise measurements from ships as needed to engineer their defense system

Upon graduating high school, Stern immediately applied for work in the Engineering division at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. With the available able-bodied young men being called upon to serve in the armed forces, the navy leadership needed to be creative in their approach to meeting the demanding schedules involved in upgrading the fleet with modern weapon and defensive systems. This led to opportunities for non-traditional members of the work force, and many women were ready and willing to answer the call. Stern started work in the naval shipyard’s engineering

updates, such as placement of 40mm anti-aircraft guns. Stern was employed as a civilian. All of her duties aboard ships were performed while the ships were docked or in drydock, and never while underway. At the direction of the chief engineer, she was accompanied by an armed guard whenever performing duties aboard any vessel. The guard was always a member of the crew of the vessel being surveyed, appointed by its captain. Because of superstitions that persisted during the first half of the twentieth century, some ship

called for "fashioning" the after part of the ship. This frame is designed to support the various beams that make up the stern. In 1817 the British naval architect Sir Robert Seppings first introduced the concept of the round or "circular" stern. The square stern had been an easy target for enemy cannon, and could not support the weight of heavy stern chase guns. But Seppings' design left the rudder head exposed, and was regarded by many as simply ugly—no American warships were designed with such sterns

worthiness and, more importantly, allowing longer hulls to be built without the drawback of excessive hogging (drooping of the hull at the bow and stern, where buoyancy is at its lowest). This meant that the rigging had better anchor points to take the force of high cross-winds, while shear forces along the hull were no longer borne by the oakum-packing of the timber planks which had leaked while they were squeezed and released like a sponge. Seppings was also instrumental, along with other innovators, in the

Bendler, a chief mason and member of the Berlin city council, had acquired large estates south of the Großer Tiergarten park in order to develop the later mansion district on Tiergartenstraße.

Historian Edward Pelham Brenton credits this action with influencing Robert Seppings in his future designs of ships of the line, providing rounded sterns that offered a wider field of fire at pursuing warships. Casualties were light however, with just 12 men wounded on "Mars" and no other losses on the remainder of the squadron. The French fleet was only lightly damaged and had only taken light

He improved the design of the bow and the stern, but his greatest influence on ship design was in the introduction of 'diagonal bracing' into the construction of the hull. He first experimented with the idea in 1800 when he retrofitted the frigate with the trusses. The method was first introduced in new construction in 1805 with the construction of the 74-gun ship of the line . The use of the diagonal trusses greatly increased the stiffness of the hull, improving a ship's sea

Geoffrey Swinford Laird Clowes cast doubt on the claimed 1809 date for the design in his 1932 book "Sailing Ships: Their History and Development". He noted that the inscription on the drawings refers to Sir William Symonds, Surveyor of the Navy from 1832 to 1847 and to two of his ships: laid down in 1833 and of 1844. The design also includes innovations more usually attributed to Seppings and Symonds. These included the round bow, the round stern, rounded rudder heads, larger proportionate beams, and larger rises in

On account of Buchanan's zeal in raising new levies on behalf of the government, the Jacobites demanded in December 1745 a special levy of £500 from him.

. SEPs send signaling messages to other SEPs, but the messages are normally routed via the SEP's adjacent STPs. An STP's main function is to identify the best path for two SEPs to communicate. A typical application would be for two SEPs to agree on the use of a shared data path (e.g., using ISUP to initiate a voice call between a user on one SEP and a user on the second SEP). In this way, STPs route signaling messages (for starting, maintaining or finishing any kind of

A signaling message typically never goes directly from a given SEP to the destination SEP: the message would normally have to pass through the initiating SEP's adjacent STP so that it can be routed to the destination SEP. In some applications, however, SEPs might be directly connected with signaling links; this would typically be done to enhance robustness or performance between two critical SEPs.

Somatosensory evoked potential


Somatosensory evoked potential (SEP or SSEP) is the electrical activity of the brain that results from the stimulation of touch. SEP tests measure that activity and are a useful, noninvasive means of assessing somatosensory system functioning. By combining SEP recordings at different levels of the somatosensory pathways, it is possible to assess the transmission of the afferent volley from the periphery up to the cortex. SEP components include a series of positive and negative deflections that can be elicited by virtually any sensory stimuli. For example, SEPs can be obtained in

If a participant makes a withdrawal before age 59½, generally a 10% additional tax applies.
