Stratospheric Variability And Trends In Models Used For The Ipcc Ar4, P. M. De F. Forster, Eugene Cordero
Stratospheric Variability And Trends In Models Used For The Ipcc Ar4, P. M. De F. Forster, Eugene Cordero
Faculty Publications, Meteorology and Climate Science
Atmosphere and ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) experiments for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) are analyzed to better understand model variability and assess the importance of various forcing mechanisms on stratospheric trends during the 20th century. While models represent the climatology of the stratosphere reasonably well in comparison with NCEP reanalysis, there are biases and large variability among models. In general, AOGCMs are cooler than NCEP throughout the stratosphere, with the largest differences in the tropics. Around half the AOGCMs have a top level beneath ~2 hPa and show a significant cold bias in their …

[1] Simulations of the stratosphere from thirteen coupled chemistry-climate models (CCMs) are evaluated to provide guidance for the interpretation of ozone predictions made by the same CCMs. The focus of the evaluation is on how well the fields and processes that are important for determining the ozone distribution are represented in the simulations of the recent past. The core period of the evaluation is from 1980 to 1999 but long-term trends are compared for an extended period (1960–2004). Comparisons of polar high-latitude temperatures show that most CCMs have only small biases in the Northern Hemisphere in winter and spring, but …

High-Speed Rail Projects In The United States: Identifying The Elements Of Success-Part 2, Mti 06-03, Allison L. C. De Cerreno, Shishir Mathur
Mineta Transportation Institute Publications
In August 2005, the Mineta Transportation Institute issued the report, High-Speed Rail Projects in the United States: Identifying the Elements for Success. The report noted that since the 1960s, highspeed ground transportation (HSGT) has “held the promise of fast, convenient, and environmentally sound travel for distances between 40 and 600 miles.” After briefly discussing the different experiences with HSGT between the United States and its Asian and European counterparts, the report proceeded to review three U.S. cases—Florida, California, and the Pacific Northwest—as a means for identifying lessons learned for successfully implementing high-speed rail (HSR) in the United States. This report …

The Sound Of The Suburbs: A Case Study Of Three Garage Bands In San Jose, California During The 1960s, Paul Kauppila
The Sound Of The Suburbs: A Case Study Of Three Garage Bands In San Jose, California During The 1960s, Paul Kauppila
Faculty and Staff Publications
The Chocolate Watchband, the Count Five, and the Syndicate of Sound were three garage bands from San Jose, California. During the 1960s, before the high‐tech economy transformed the Santa Clara Valley into Silicon Valley, San Jose was a culturally sleepy suburb. This paper will examine these three groups in the context of 1960s culture and society and will compare and contrast their image and musical output with that of the better‐known “hippie” music scene originating an hour north in San Francisco.

Transportation Financing Opportunities For The State Of California, Mti Report 06-01, Asha Weinstein Agrawal
Mineta Transportation Institute Publications
Significant investments will be required to maintain, operate, upgrade, and expand California's transportation infrastructure if the state is to retain its economic position in the global economy and accommodate a projected near doubling of the current population by 2040. At the same time, available funding for transportation will decline significantly over the next 15 years if the current transportation finance system remains unchanged. This report analyzes a range of alternative sources of revenue, as well as different finance options. The research is based upon reviews of existing literature, interviews with key stakeholders, and two statewide phone surveys. The facility-based sources …

Incorporating Policymaker Costs And Political Competition Into Rent-Seeking Games, R. Kenneth Godwin, Edward J. Lopez, Barry J. Seldon
Incorporating Policymaker Costs And Political Competition Into Rent-Seeking Games, R. Kenneth Godwin, Edward J. Lopez, Barry J. Seldon
Faculty Publications
We incorporate policymaker costs of supplying rents and variable intensities of competition among rent seekers into the standard rent-seeking game. By incorporating these aspects, the game has greater verisimilitude to the lobbying process. The first aspect captures the fact that in rent-seeking contests there is a positive probability that neither firm will obtain the rent. The second aspect captures the fact that firms seeking different rents still must compete for policymakers' resources. We find that lobbying expenditures, rent-seeking profits, and rent dissipation depend on the intensity of competition and the value of the rent relative to policymaker costs. For example, …

How To Weave Entrepreneurship Into Engineering Education: The Experience At San Jose State University, Minnie Patel, Anuradha Basu
Faculty Publications
There is a growing consensus about the need for engineers and scientists to have entrepreneurial skills to be successful in their careers. However, there is a continued debate as to how best to impart these skills at the undergraduate level. It is possible to identify two routes to accomplish this objective. One route is to offer courses in engineering entrepreneurship and the other is to encourage students to participate in extracurricular activities that help to foster entrepreneurial skills. The most common approach adopted by a growing number of universities is to offer courses in entrepreneurship to engineering students. A more …

Bi-Level Clustering Of Mixed Categorical And Numerical Biomedical Data, Bill Andreopoulos, Aijun An, Xiaogang Wang
Bi-Level Clustering Of Mixed Categorical And Numerical Biomedical Data, Bill Andreopoulos, Aijun An, Xiaogang Wang
Faculty Publications, Computer Science
Biomedical data sets often have mixed categorical and numerical types, where the former represent semantic information on the objects and the latter represent experimental results. We present the BILCOM algorithm for |Bi-Level Clustering of Mixed categorical and numerical data types|. BILCOM performs a pseudo-Bayesian process, where the prior is categorical clustering. BILCOM partitions biomedical data sets of mixed types, such as hepatitis, thyroid disease and yeast gene expression data with Gene Ontology annotations, more accurately than if using one type alone.
Sequence Of Linear Programming For Transmission Of Fine-Scalable Coded Content In Bandwidth-Limited Environments, Xiao Su, Tao Wang
Sequence Of Linear Programming For Transmission Of Fine-Scalable Coded Content In Bandwidth-Limited Environments, Xiao Su, Tao Wang
Faculty Publications
In this paper, we propose an optimal peer assignment algorithm on peer-to-peer networks. This algorithm is designed to maximize the quality of transmitting fine-scalable coded content by exploiting the embedding property of scalable coding. To be more realistic, we assume that the requesting peer has a delay constraint to display the content within a certain delay bound, and it also has limited incoming bandwidth. We first use a simple example to illustrate the peer assignment problem, and then formulate this problem as a linear programming problem, followed by a nonlinear programming problem. To efficiently solve the second nonlinear problem, we …
