Instability In Self-Pulsation In Laser Diodes And Its Effect On All-Optical Synchonization, Jonathan Hyland, Gerald Farrell
Instability In Self-Pulsation In Laser Diodes And Its Effect On All-Optical Synchonization, Jonathan Hyland, Gerald Farrell
Articles
The effect of short- and long-term frequency instability in self pulsation on all-optical synchronization using a twin-section laser diode is experimentally investigated. Short-term frequency instability broadens the unlocked full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the fundamental of the rf spectrum of the self-pulsating laser diode. We show experimentally that the value of the unlocked FWHM, and thus the level of short-term instability, has a direct effect on the optical power required to maintain synchronization. A novel means of reducing the FWHM is presented based on a reflective transmission line stub connected to the absorber of the twin-section self-pulsating laser …
Conditional Probative Value: Neoclassicism Without Myth, Richard D. Friedman
Conditional Probative Value: Neoclassicism Without Myth, Richard D. Friedman
Articles
The concept of conditional relevance is an essential aspect of the classical model of evidentiary law. Some of the great scholars of evidence have endorsed and shaped it.1 Under Federal Rule of Evidence 104(b) it plays a crucial role in the division of responsibility between judge and jury,2 as well as in the application of the personal knowledge3 and authentication 4 requirements. And the Supreme Court has applied it with great force.5 In recent years, though, the concept has come under attack from several notable scholars. The late Vaughn Ball led the assault, calling the concept a "myth."'6 Peter Tillers, …
Casual Discourse Lost: The Separation Of Adam And Eve, Jay Curlin
Casual Discourse Lost: The Separation Of Adam And Eve, Jay Curlin
Articles
The critical separation scene between Adam and Eve in Book IX of Paradise Lost has long been something of a crux for Milton's readers. Recent critical opinion of the passage has seen in it chiefly an indictment of Adam: for one group of readers, he ls the overbearing husband trying to suppress the burgeoning independence of his wife; for another, he fails as a spiritual leader in not suppressing that independence enough. I would like to offer an alternative reading of the passage by redirecting our attention to the simple dynamics of what we must remember is ultimately a pre …
Bioethics With A Human Face, Carl E. Schneider
Bioethics With A Human Face, Carl E. Schneider
Articles
This Article and the successor article I will shortly publish grow out of one reaction I have had to years of reading bioethical and legal literature. Let me begin by putting the point in its simplest, even crudest, form: That literature too often discusses the problems of health care in so disembodied and denatured a way that the patients and physicians, the family and friends, the dread and the disease are quite abstracted from the scene. The result is a literature that critically limits itself and that crucially oversimplifies the issues it confronts. There are, of course, reasons bioethical and …
Blur Identification Based On Higher Order Spectral Nulls, Andreas Savakis, Roger L. Easton
Blur Identification Based On Higher Order Spectral Nulls, Andreas Savakis, Roger L. Easton
Articles
The identification of the point spread function (PSF) from the degraded image data constitutes an important first step in image restoration that is known as blur identification. Though a number of blur identification algorithms have been developed in recent years, two of the earlier methods based on the power spectrum and power cepstrum remain popular, because they are easy to implement and have proved to be effective in practical situations. Both methods are limited to PSF's which exhibit spectral nulls, such as due to defocused lens and linear motion blur. Another limitation of these methods is the degradation of their …

Chaos, Period-Doubling And Reverse Bifurcations In An Optically Injected Semiconductor Laser, Vassilios Kovanis, Athanasios Gavrielides, Thomas Simpson
Chaos, Period-Doubling And Reverse Bifurcations In An Optically Injected Semiconductor Laser, Vassilios Kovanis, Athanasios Gavrielides, Thomas Simpson
Articles
In conclusion, we have observed a reverse bifurcation from chaotic to periodic dynamics in a semiconductor laser subject to strong optical injection at its free-running frequency. Spontaneous emission noise effects obscure specific spectral features in the reverse period-doubling region, but by measuring the dynamic parameters of the laser we have shown that the coupled complex-field and carrier density model accounts for the observed spectra.
Controlling Unstable Periodic Orbits In A Nonlinear Optical System: The Ikeda Map, Paul Alsing, Athanasios Gavrielides, Vassilios Kovanis
Controlling Unstable Periodic Orbits In A Nonlinear Optical System: The Ikeda Map, Paul Alsing, Athanasios Gavrielides, Vassilios Kovanis
Articles
With the publication of the seminal paper by Ott, Grebogi and Yorke (OGY) [l] the concept of controlling chaos has become part of the lexicon of physicists and engineers dealing with chaotic nonlinear dynamical systems. The authors showed that by using small, judiciously applied perturbations the unstable periodic orbits, which are dense in a chaotic attractor, could be stabilized. The strength of their approach lies in the absence of the necessity for any a priori analytical model of the chaotic system in order to affect the control. The information required to construct the controlling perturbations can be extracted from experimental …

Bioethics In The Language Of The Law, Carl E. Schneider
Bioethics In The Language Of The Law, Carl E. Schneider
Articles
What happens when the language of the law becomes a vulgar tongue? What happens, more particularly, when parties to bioethical discourse are obliged to borrow in their daily controversies the ideas, and even the language, peculiar to judicial proceedings? How suited are the habits, taste, and language of the judicial magistrate to the political, and more particularly, the bioethical, questions of our time? We ask these questions because, as the incomparable Tocqueville foresaw, Americans today truly do resolve political-and moral--questions into judicial questions. As Abraham Lincoln hoped, the Constitution "has become the political religion of the nation," and many Americans …

Comment: Theory And Practice In Dna Fingerprinting, Richard O. Lempert
Comment: Theory And Practice In Dna Fingerprinting, Richard O. Lempert
Articles
Throughout her useful paper on DNA identification, Professor Roeder properly attends to both theory and practice. Thus she acknowledges the theoretical soundness of certain criticisms that have been made of the standard paradigm used to evaluate DNA random match probabilities but argues that in practice these criticisms matter little. I am thinking here of the arguments that those cautioning against overweighing DNA evidence have made regarding the undeniable existence of population substructure and its potential implications for independence assumptions supporting the application of the product rule and for the use of convenience samples, such as data garnered from no more …

Marriage, Morals, And The Law: No-Fault Divorce And Moral Discourse, Carl E. Schneider
Marriage, Morals, And The Law: No-Fault Divorce And Moral Discourse, Carl E. Schneider
Articles
In this Essay, I want to reflect on no fault-divorce and the social attitudes that underlie it. In particular, I want to consider that reform in light of an article I wrote some years ago entitled Moral Discourse and the Transformation of American Family Law. There I argued that in recent years the language of American family law has changed notably: today family law issues are decreasingly discussed in the language of morality. In other words, legal institutions have decreasingly talked about those issues in moral terms. Rather, they have tended to avoid handling some moral issues altogether-often by …

A Cd-Rom Based Agricultural Information Retrieval System, H W. Beck, P H. Jones, Dennis G. Watson
A Cd-Rom Based Agricultural Information Retrieval System, H W. Beck, P H. Jones, Dennis G. Watson
Articles
An information retrieval system for agricultural extension was developed using CD-ROM technology as the primary medium for information delivery. Object-oriented database techniques were used to organize the information. Conventional retrieval techniques including hypertext, fulltext searching, and relational databases, and decision support programs such as expert systems were integrated into a complete package for accessing information stored on the CDROM. A multimedia user interface was developed to provide a variety of capabilities including computer graphics and high-resolution digitized images. Information for the disk was gathered and entered using extension publications which were tagged using an SGML-based document markup language. The fully …

Cyclic Voltammetry Of Polypyrroledodecylbenzenesulfonate Layers, T. Mccormac, W. Breen, A. Mcgee, John Cassidy, M. E.G. Lyons
Articles
Polypyrrole was deposited from solutions of NaCIO. and NaDBS, where DBS is dodecylbenzenesulfonate in aqueous solu\ion and characterizcd by voltammetry. It is found that the absence of the so-called 'double laver charging current' during cyclic voltammetry of the layers formed from solutions with surfactant is not because of' the" order in morphology of the layer, but irreversible incorporation of' the surfactant anion.

Seeking Relations: Law And Feminism Roundtables, Mary Louise Fellows, Sherene Razack
Articles
Currently the rhetoric of difference and diversity among women dominates discussions in legal feminism about where women stand in relation to each other. The words difference and diversity organize the relationship among women in ways that can eclipse the differential impact of ableism, economic exploitation, heterosexism, racism, and sexism in women's lives. Differences among women are taken into account, for example, in the recognition that some women are doubly and triply disadvantaged. Ultimately, however, the multiple ways in which we as women actually are implicated in maintaining structures of domination in each other's lives can remain uninterrogated. Consequently, while women …

Epstein On His Own Grounds, Richard H. Mcadams
Articles
Forbidden Grounds fails to follow through on its own terms. Epstein invokes Thomas Hobbes but never considers the Hobbesian argument for Title VII; employs economic analysis without disclosing its dependence on controversial empirical assumptions; and makes empirical claims, particularly about social norms, without applying the standards of criticism to supporting evidence that he applies to contrary evidence.

Of Richard Epstein And Other Radical Feminists, Mary Anne Case
Articles
My goal in this discussion is to persuade all members of the Federalist Society that they are or should be feminists. I shall pursue this goal in two ways: first by setting forth an expansive definition of feminist jurisprudence; secondly by showing that anyone who combines the two commitments Richard Epstein urges on feminists-commitments to the descriptive message of sociobiology and to the normative message of libertarianism-must inevitably be, not merely a feminist, but a very radical feminist indeed. In short, feminism is for everyone, especially for Richard Epstein.
