Coordinated Intelligent Control Via Epistemic Utility Theory, Wynn C. Stirling
Coordinated Intelligent Control Via Epistemic Utility Theory, Wynn C. Stirling
Faculty Publications
An approach to local reactive coordinated intelligent control based on the concept of an epistemic system, together with a principle of action that may be exercised locally, is presented. An epistemic system provides a mechanism for agents to characterize their knowledge corpora, options, goals, and beliefs. Levi's rule of epistemic utility provides a principle of action for decision making by comparing the informational value of rejection with the belief of correctness. Decisions are made locally and reactively, rather than globally. Coordination is implemented between agents by sharing and learning the epistemic systems of other agents. The resulting coordination model is …
Revision Of The Genera Of Platypodidae (Coleoptera), Stephen L. Wood
Revision Of The Genera Of Platypodidae (Coleoptera), Stephen L. Wood
Great Basin Naturalist
A search for characters to make the generic classification of Platypodidae more nearly objective resulted in the discovery of new anatomical features that appear to reflect patterns in phylogeny for this family. The Platypodidae are members of the Curculionoidea and are very closely allied to Scolytidae. Three subfamilies of Platypodidae are recognized: (1) Coptonotinae, containing Coptonotini (Coptonotus Chapuis, Protohylastes Wood, Scolytotarsus Schedl), Mecopelmini (Mecopelmus Blackman, Protoplatypus Wood), and Schedlarini (Schedlarius Wood [=Chapuisia Dugès]); (2) Tesserocerinae, containing Diapodini (Diapus Chapuis, Genyocerus Motschulsky [=Diacavus Schedl], and Tesseroccrini (Platytarsulus Schedl, Notoplatypus Lea, Tesserocranulus Schedl, Tesserocerus Saunders …

Rsvp: A New Resource Reservation Protocol, Daniel Zappala, Stephen Deering, Deborah Estrin, Scott Shenker, Lixia Zhang
Faculty Publications
The current Internet architecture, embodied in the Internet Protocol (IP) network protocol, offers a very simple service model: point-to-point best-effort service. In recent years, several new classes of distributed applications have been developed, such as remote video, multimedia conferencing, data fusion, visualization, and virtual reality. It is becoming increasingly clear that the Internet’s primitive service model is inadequate for these new applications. This inadequacy stems from the failure of the point-to-point best-effort service model to address two application requirements. First, many of these applications are very sensitive to the quality of service their packets receive. For a network to deliver …
The Economics Of The Book Of Mormon: Joseph Smith As Translator Or Commentator, Garth L. Mangum
The Economics Of The Book Of Mormon: Joseph Smith As Translator Or Commentator, Garth L. Mangum
Journal of Book of Mormon Studies
From 1830 to the present those who find it difficult to accept “angelic visitations in the age of railroads” have searched Joseph Smith’s nineteenth-century environment for sources of the subject matter of the Book of Mormon. For example, in 1990 Susan Curtis explains the economic subthemes of the book as Joseph Smith’s commentary on “market capitalism.” But the economic conditions of Joseph Smith’s time and place are not reflected in the Book of Mormon. Its economic descriptions are consistent with our vast knowledge of the economic conditions of the ancient Middle East and not inconsistent with the little known of …
Translation Of The Book Of Mormon: Interpreting The Evidence, Stephen D. Ricks

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies
The process used by Joseph Smith to translate the Book of Mormon from the plates involved both human effort and divine assistance through the seerstone and interpreters.
The Type At The Border: An Inquiry Into Book Of Mormon Typology, Robert E. Clark
The Type At The Border: An Inquiry Into Book Of Mormon Typology, Robert E. Clark
Journal of Book of Mormon Studies
A certain combination of temperament and upbringing can lead to a sense of alienation from the scriptures’ meaning. This paper considers the role that types might play in overcoming that alienation as they mediate between scriptural understanding and human experience, permitting deeper insight into both. The difficulties and possibilities inherent in such an approach shed light on a typological analysis of the figures of Abinadi and the brother of Jared.

Comments On The Book Of Mormon Witnesses: A Response To Jerald And Sandra Tanner, Matthew Roper
Comments On The Book Of Mormon Witnesses: A Response To Jerald And Sandra Tanner, Matthew Roper
Journal of Book of Mormon Studies
Critics of the Book of Mormon frequently claim that some of the Book of Mormon witnesses later doubted or denied their testimony of the Book of Mormon. They also claim that the activities of the Three Witnesses while out of the church cast doubt upon the reliability of their earlier written testimony. I review evidence for these claims and also discuss the issue of what may constitute a witness of the Book of Mormon and whether the witnesses ever doubted or denied their testimony of the Book of Mormon. Evidence for later disbelief in the Book of Mormon by the …

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies
The Book of Mormon name Sariah does not appear as a female name in the Bible but has now been identified in a reconstructed form in an Aramaic papyrus. A Jewish woman living at Elephantine in Upper Egypt during the fifth century BC was identified as Sariah daughter of Hoshea.

Squirrels As Predators, J. R. Callahan
Squirrels As Predators, J. R. Callahan
Great Basin Naturalist
A literature review and field observations indicate that most sciurids are facultative predators on small vertebrates. This behavior is documented for at least 30 sciurid species in 8 genera. The frequency of predation apparently is influenced by various factors including climate, season, gender, reproductive condition, and availability of plant sources for certain nutrients such as calcium and nitrogen. Although sciurids assimilate as much energy from animal foods as do obligate carnivores, behavior associated with predation appears to be less efficient in sciurids and may rely partly on prey habituation and other adaptive behaviors.
Establishment Of Shoshone Sculpin (Cottus Greenei) In A Spring Inhabited By Mottled Sculpin (C. Bairdi), Derek B. Kuda, J. S. Griffith
Establishment Of Shoshone Sculpin (Cottus Greenei) In A Spring Inhabited By Mottled Sculpin (C. Bairdi), Derek B. Kuda, J. S. Griffith
Great Basin Naturalist
The Shoshone sculpin (Cottus greenei) is found only in springs of the Thousand Springs formation along the Snake River in Idaho. In 1983 a small population of Shoshone sculpin was introduced into an unnamed spring in the Thousand Springs formation in an attempt to increase the range of the species. Previously, the only sculpin in that spring was the mottled sculpin (Cottus bairdi). The Shoshone sculpin was able to establish itself and become the predominant fish within 8 years.
On The Relative Importance Of Floral Color, Shape, And Nectar Rewards In Attracting Pollinators To Mimulus, Steven D. Sutherland, Robert K. Vickery Jr.
On The Relative Importance Of Floral Color, Shape, And Nectar Rewards In Attracting Pollinators To Mimulus, Steven D. Sutherland, Robert K. Vickery Jr.
Great Basin Naturalist
Pollinator preferences were observed for the six species of section Erythranthe of the genus Mimulus using greenhouse-grown plants placed in a meadow in the Red Butte Canyon Natural Area, Salt Lake County, Utah. The principal pollinators were hummingbirds and bumble bees. Hummingbirds preferred the species with the most reflexed tubular flowers regardless of color, whereas bumblebees preferred pink. lavender, or yellow flowers to red flowers regardless of shape. Results for the six species were confirmed by observations of F2 hybrid recombinant plants selected such that flower color could be held constant and flower shape varied and vice versa.

Journal of East Asian Libraries
This task force was formed in August 1992 to work for the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Foreign acquisitions Project for Japanese materials. The charge of the task force is to write a report which assesses current strengths and weaknesses of the major United States and Canadian Japanese research collections, determines their needs and priorities, and offers concrete action/funding proposals to address the identified problems. Fortunately, a number of previous reports and studies on the issues are available, and we reviewed and studied them carefully, including the "Survey" (1980) by Naomi Fukuda, the Perushek Report (1990), and the reports of …

Archival And Library Resources Within The Mid-Atlantic States Region For Advancing Scholarship In East Asian Studies, Frank Joseph Shulman
Archival And Library Resources Within The Mid-Atlantic States Region For Advancing Scholarship In East Asian Studies, Frank Joseph Shulman
Journal of East Asian Libraries
The Mid-Atlantic States region is the home to a vast array of archival and library resources that have long-term research value for scholars and students interested in the history, politics, commerce and culture of the countries of East Asia and in American interaction with China, Japan and Korea. A series of fifteen panels between 1977 and 1991 presented a wide range of papers about some of these resources at the annual meetings of the Mid-Atlantic Region/Association for Asian Studies (MAR/AAS).

The Semantics Of Certainty In Quechua And Its Implications For A Cultural Epistemology, Janis B. Nuckolls
The Semantics Of Certainty In Quechua And Its Implications For A Cultural Epistemology, Janis B. Nuckolls
Faculty Publications
This article contributes to attempts on the part of Quechua scholars to understand the evidential system of this language family, and thereby paves the way for a more complex understanding of Quechua speakers' language and culture. The author opposes the position that the most general meaning of the -mi suffix is to indicate a direct or first-hand experience; and she holds that specific claims about Quechua speakers' epistemological orientations, based on such an analysis, cannot be supported. Evidence from speakers' use of -mi indicates that it encodes two paradigmatic contrasts: one is status-like or modal, the other evidential. The patterning …
Effects Of Crosstalk On Fidelity In Page-Oriented Volume Holographic Optical Data Storage, Gregory P. Nordin, P. Asthana
Effects Of Crosstalk On Fidelity In Page-Oriented Volume Holographic Optical Data Storage, Gregory P. Nordin, P. Asthana
Faculty Publications
Using numerical simulation, we quantitatively examine the effects of cross talk on the recall fidelity of stored binary data in a page-oriented volume holographic memory system. We discuss the trade-off between the signal-to-noise ratio of the reconstructed bits and the optical throughput of the system (i.e., the fraction of the incident beam that is diffracted to the detector plane). We show that significant gains in the signal-to-noise ratio can be achieved with modest decreases in optical throughput in the region where the highest throughput occurs. The magnitude of this trade-off is influenced by both beam degeneracy and coherent recording cross …
Cyanobacteria And Cyanolichens: Can They Enhance Availability Of Essential Minerals For Higher Plants?, Kimball T. Harper, Rosemary L. Pendleton
Cyanobacteria And Cyanolichens: Can They Enhance Availability Of Essential Minerals For Higher Plants?, Kimball T. Harper, Rosemary L. Pendleton
Great Basin Naturalist
In both field and greenhouse studies, cyanobacterial and cyanolichens of cold-temperature deserts often enhance growth and essential uptake by associated herbs. That effect is associated with better seedling establishment and larger seedlings. The following are possible mechanisms for these effects: (1) the microbiota concentrate essential elements in available forms in soil surface layers, (2) the microbial surface covers are usually darker colored than the soil itself and produce warmer soils during cool seasons when soil water is most available, (3) the gelatinous sheaths of several cyanobacterial genera common on alkaline deserts contain chelating compounds, and (4) conditions that favor persistent …
