Auto-Ionizing Resonances 4d- Nl In Cadmium, J. Jiménez-Mier, C. D. Caldwell, M. O. Krause
Auto-Ionizing Resonances 4d- Nl In Cadmium, J. Jiménez-Mier, C. D. Caldwell, M. O. Krause
Faculty Bibliography 1980s
We measured the relative cross section and angular distribution parameter for 5s photoelectron emission in atomic cadmium across the region of the 4d→nl autoionizing resonances between 11.70 and 18.05 eV. Our results for the oscillator strengths agree with Hartree-Fock calculations, and are higher than the values reported by other experiments. Strong departure from the direct-process value of 2.0 was observed for the angular distribution parameter β, indicating singlet-to-triplet mixing in the wave functions. The mixing varies in the np resonance series, while it remains almost constant throughout the nf series. In the region of the 5p resonances …

Threshold Behavior Of The M-Shell Photoionization Of Argon, H. P. Saha
Threshold Behavior Of The M-Shell Photoionization Of Argon, H. P. Saha
Faculty Bibliography 1980s
The multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method, which has been extended to study photoionization of atoms, is applied to calculate the 3s→kp photoionization cross section of argon. It has been shown that the interchannel interaction associated with the 3p→kd transition, which is very strong in the 3s subshell photoionization cross section, can be very efficiently simulated by the bound-continuum channel interaction associated with the 3p→3d transition. The length and velocity forms of cross section agree very well throughout the range of energies considered. Our results compare well with other theoretical estimates and are in better agreement with experimental measurements.
Low-Energy Elastic-Scattering Of Electrons From Neon Atoms, H. P. Saha
Low-Energy Elastic-Scattering Of Electrons From Neon Atoms, H. P. Saha
Faculty Bibliography 1980s
The multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method of Saha, Pindzola, and Compton [Phys. Rev. A 38, 128 (1988)] applied to photoionization of atoms has been extended in order to consider elastic scattering of electrons from neon atoms. The dynamical polarization and the electron-correlation effects, which are very important in this case, have been taken into account more accurately in the ab initio method through the configuration-interaction procedure. Phase shifts, and differential, integral, and momentum-transfer cross sections for electrons elastically scattered from neon atoms are reported for the impact-energy range from 0.136 to 70 eV. The calculated results are compared with experimental and …
Reconstruction Of Transform-Coded Images By Entropy Methods, Nicolaos S. Tzannes, Michael A. Tzannes, John Bodenschatz Ii
Reconstruction Of Transform-Coded Images By Entropy Methods, Nicolaos S. Tzannes, Michael A. Tzannes, John Bodenschatz Ii
Faculty Bibliography 1980s
A new, universal approach to reconstructing transform-coded images is proposed. The method views the images as a probability mass function (pmf), allowing the retained coefficients of a transform (Karhunen-Loeve, discrete cosine, slant, etc.) to be thought of as averages of the basis functions over the pmf. This sets the stage for reconstructing the original images by using the maximum entropy principle (MEP) and the minimum relative entropy principle (MREP) with the retained coefficients as constraints in the extremizations. A formulation combining the two methods is also proposed, resulting in a reconstruction algorithm that is fast, proceeding in an iterative way …
Design Of Nonpolarizing Achromatic Beam-Splitters With Dielectric Multilayer Coatings, Muamer Zukic, Karl H. Guenther
Design Of Nonpolarizing Achromatic Beam-Splitters With Dielectric Multilayer Coatings, Muamer Zukic, Karl H. Guenther
Faculty Bibliography 1980s
Optical beamsplitters often consist of repeated pairs of high and low index quarter-wave layers. At oblique angles of incidence, such coatings typically have a fairly high polarization ratio. Reflectance, transmittance, and phase for the two orthogonal planes of polarization, s and p, are different in general. Here, we present the results of the design of all-dielectric beamsplitter coatings with very low polarization ratios. An initial sinusoidal refractive index profile, optimized with a refining computer program, yields a 50±1% beamsplitter in the 450 to 650 nm wavelength range, with less than 0.5% (abs.) difference between the s and p reflectance in …

Research Grants And Their Role In Promotion And Tenure, Bert E. Bradley
Research Grants And Their Role In Promotion And Tenure, Bert E. Bradley
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article investigates faculty attitudes toward the role of research grants in promotion and tenure decisions. A survey of tenured professors in a liberal arts college was conducted to assess whether grants should substitute for, supplement, or carry equal weight with publications. Results show that most faculty opposed substituting grants for publications or basing promotion solely on grants. Respondents emphasized that grants are a means to enable research rather than an end in themselves, and that scholarly publications remain the primary indicator of academic contribution. Some faculty supported partial credit for grants when they resulted in publications or significant research …

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article presents a historical analysis of publication productivity in communication studies between 1915 and 1985. Using the Index to Journals in Communication Studies Through 1985, the study identifies the top published authors in the field and examines patterns of scholarly output across seventy-one years. Results reveal that fewer than one percent of authors produced a disproportionately large share of publications, with the top group contributing nearly fourteen percent of all articles. The analysis highlights gender disparities, noting only a small number of women among the most prolific authors, while also documenting shifts in doctoral training institutions over time. The …
Evaluating Grant In The Promotion And Tenure Process: The Perspective Of A Faculty Member, David Appleby
Evaluating Grant In The Promotion And Tenure Process: The Perspective Of A Faculty Member, David Appleby
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article critiques the growing emphasis on grant funding as a measure of faculty productivity in promotion and tenure evaluations. It describes how increasing administrative pressure to pursue grants risks narrowing definitions of scholarship, privileging fundable projects, and undervaluing significant research that may not attract external support. The discussion highlights tensions between academic values and financial imperatives, noting how reliance on funding can distort research priorities, create inequities across disciplines, and reduce attention to teaching and intellectual development. Examples illustrate the consequences of equating grantsmanship with research excellence, including a shift toward projects designed primarily for fundability. The article argues …

The Department Chair As Responsible Academic Leader: A Competency--Based Perspective, Randy Y. Hirokawa, J. Kevin Barge, Samuel L. Becker, Judith L. Sutherland
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article presents a competency-based perspective on academic leadership, focusing on the role of department chairs in higher education. It critiques traditional trait, style, and functional approaches to leadership for their limitations in explaining how chairs contribute to departmental effectiveness. The study reports faculty perceptions of nineteen competencies necessary for effective leadership, which cluster into four categories: resource management, climate management, image management, and faculty development. Findings indicate that these competencies are generalizable across different academic units and strongly predict perceptions of leadership effectiveness. The discussion emphasizes the chair’s role as a mediator between faculty and administration, requiring skills that …
Twenty Years Of Research By And About Women In Major Communication Journals: 1967--1986, Pamela J. Cooper, Lea P. Stewart, Sheryl A. Friedley
Twenty Years Of Research By And About Women In Major Communication Journals: 1967--1986, Pamela J. Cooper, Lea P. Stewart, Sheryl A. Friedley
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article analyzes the presence of women and gender-related topics in major communication journals over a twenty-year period from 1967 to 1986. The study examines authorship patterns, the proportion of articles focusing on communication and gender, and the participation of men and women in gender-related scholarship. Findings show that while men authored the majority of articles during this period, the proportion of female authorship steadily increased, along with co-authorship between men and women. Approximately four percent of published articles addressed communication and gender, with contributions from both male and female scholars. The analysis suggests that blind review policies and broader …

It reviews the growing diversity of funding sources, including government, corporate, and foundation support, and identifies economic, technological, and institutional pressures that have increased emphasis on external grants. The discussion acknowledges the benefits of additional resources but cautions against risks such as external influence over research agendas, restrictions on publication, and erosion of academic values. It argues that funding should not substitute for achievements in teaching or scholarship, but rather serve as evidence of professional recognition and academic citizenship. Recommendations emphasize balancing …
Grantsmanship And Tenure, Robert R. Smith
Grantsmanship And Tenure, Robert R. Smith
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article examines the relationship between grant activity and faculty evaluation, focusing on its role in promotion and tenure. It situates grant-seeking within the historical adaptability of universities, noting that institutions have long balanced financial necessity with the preservation of academic values. The discussion emphasizes that while universities increasingly pursue external support, traditional measures of achievement such as publications and creative work remain central to long-term advancement. Grants are portrayed as useful when they facilitate research, teaching, or creative activity, but limited in value if disconnected from scholarly outcomes. Disciplinary differences are highlighted, with sciences relying heavily on funding to …
