Contemporary Music And The Manufacturing Region: Reflections On Reality, John Mullin, Tracie Seder Hines

Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Faculty Publication Series

Despite long odds, some distressed, high unemployment regions in the United States survive, revitalize, and prosper. While there are many reasons for their success, we hypothesize that a strong sense of community helps make bearable the anger, frustration, despair, and irrationality that accompany high job losses in a region.

The Closing Of The Yankee Rowe Nuclear Power Plant: The Impact On A New England Community, John R. Mullin, Zenia Kotval

Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Faculty Publication Series

America's nuclear power companies for the first time, face reduced demand and a resulting decline in generating capacity that will affect not only the industry, but also the communities that have become dependent on the "nuclear economy." Across the United States there are 111 nuclear plants; approximately twenty are expected to close by the year 2012 (Pasqualetti 1991a, Allen 1996). While many Americans applaud this trend, the fact remains that the closings will bring extensive economic hardships to the communities and regions where the plants are located. This paper is a case study of the local effect from the closing …

Conrad Maynadier Arensberg (1910-1997), Joel Halpern

Anthropology Department Faculty Publication Series

Conrad Maynadier Atensberg died on February 10, 1997. Connie, as he was known to his legions of students, colleagues and friends, was 86. Connie's work was key to the development of anthropology as a natural science in a hierarchy with the other natural sciences, each with its own specific unit of observation-that of anthropology being human interaction.

Thoughts On Edward Bellamy As City Planner: The Ordered Art Of Geometry, John R. Mullin, Kenneth Payne

Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Faculty Publication Series

Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward was one of the most influential books in the evolution of city planning as a profession and field of scholarly inquiry. And yet, upon the hundredth year of his death, this classic is rarely used when examining the roots of the profession. The paper begins by summarizing the book itself: on one level it is a simple novel of the Gilded Age; on another, it provided a vision of the future that indirectly has helped to guide the evolution of the American community. The paper examines the factors that are fundamental in planning and how Bellamy …

Fluctuations In Finite N Equilibrium Stellar Systems, Martin D. Weinberg

Astronomy Department Faculty Publication Series

Gravitational amplification of Poisson noise in stellar systems is important on large scales. For example, it increases the dipole noise power by roughly a factor of six and the quadrupole noise by 50% for a King model profile. The dipole noise is amplified by a factor of fifteen for the core-free Hernquist model. The predictions are computed using the dressed-particle formalism of Rostoker & Rosenbluth (1960) and are demonstrated by n-body simulation. This result implies that a collisionless n-body simulation is impossible; The fluctuation noise which causes relaxation is an intrinic part of self gravity. In other words, eliminating two-body …

Dynamics Of An Interacting Luminous Disk, Dark Halo, And Satellite Companion, Martin D. Weinberg

Astronomy Department Faculty Publication Series

This paper describes a method for determining the dynamical interaction between extended halo and spheroid components and an environmental disturbance. One finds that resonant interaction between a galaxy and passing interlopers or satellite companions can carry the disturbance inward, deep inside the halo, where it can perturb the disk. Applied to the Milky Way for example, the LMC and SMC appear to be sufficient to cause the observed Galactic warp and possibly seed other asymmetries. This is a multi-scale interaction in which the halo wake has a feature at roughly half the satellite orbital radius due to a 2:1 orbital …

Anthropology And Conflict: Reflections On The Bosnian War Part 2, Joel Halpern

Anthropology Department Faculty Publication Series

It clearly takes a certain period to reflect on a singular experience in one's life. In the May 1996 issue of AnthroWatch I reported on my winter visit to Sarajevo and Mostar, the two principle towns in Bosnia. I want to begin to approach an evaluation of this situation through a personal lens. Perhaps for some anthropologists their field experiences have been distanced from war and conflict. But this has not been my experience. Rather my anthropological journeys have been contextualized by major conflicts. I first went to the Balkans in 1953, and researched, principally in Serbia, for my Columbia …

Product Einstein Manifolds, Zeta-Function Regularization And The Multiplicative Anomaly, Andrei A. Bytsenko, Floyd L. Williams

Physics Department Faculty Publication Series

The global additive and multiplicative properties of Laplace type operators acting on irreducible rank 1 symmetric spaces are considered. The explicit form of the zeta function on product spaces and of the multiplicative anomaly is derived.

Efficient Striping Techniques For Variable Bit Rate Continuous Media File Servers, Prashant J. Shenoy

Computer Science Department Faculty Publication Series

The performance of striped disk arrays is governed by two parameters: the stripe unit size and the degree of striping. In this paper, we describe techniques for determining the stripe unit size and degree of striping for disk arrays storing variable bit rate continuous media data. We present an analytical model that uses the server configuration and the workload characteristics to predict the load on the most heavily loaded disk in redundant and non-redundant arrays. We then use the model to determine the optimal stripe unit size for different workloads. We also use the model to study the effect of …

Assessing The Future Of The New England Mill Town: What Are The Key Factors That Lead To Successful Revitalization?, John Mullin, Zenia Kotval

Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Faculty Publication Series

Over the past twenty years, we have been involved in economic revitalization projects in more than 50 mill towns across the state of Massachusetts. We begin these projects with a quiet visit to each community.

Moving off a state or interstate road, we meander down through a highly dense village of multiunit tenements. Built close to the road, they are always a decided mix of well-kept and decaying structures. They are rarely one or the other entirely. It is as if the residents and owners are undecided about reinvestment or commitment to the community.

A Modified Model Of College Student Persistence: Exploring The Relationship Between Astin's Theory Of Involvement And Tinto's Theory Of Student Departure, Jeffrey F. Milem, Joseph B. Berger

Center for International Education Faculty Publications

This study provides insight into 1st-year undergraduate persistence by using behavioral measures, based on Astin's theory of involvement, to further our understanding of Tinto's theory of student departure. The findings from this study support using an integrated model in which student behaviors and perceptions interact to influence the development of academic and social integration.
