Photovoltaics: A Question And Answer Primer, Florida Solar Energy Center, Ingrid Melody Nov 1983

Photovoltaics: A Question And Answer Primer, Florida Solar Energy Center, Ingrid Melody

FSEC Energy Research Center®

Of all the solar energy technologies, photovoltaics (PV) show the greatest promise for worldwide acceptance and application. Their universal appeal lies in the fact that they generate electricity from the sun. Working photovoltaics have no moving parts, are relatively simple in design, need very little maintenance and are environmentally benign. They simply and silently produce electricity whenever they are exposed to light.

Digital Filtering With The Iapx 86/20, Robert E. Canright Oct 1983

Digital Filtering With The Iapx 86/20, Robert E. Canright

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The iAPX 86/20 (8086 with the 8087 numeric coprocessor) is considered for digital filtering. The advantage in using the iAPX 86/20 lies in the 80-bit width of the 8087 floating-point arithmetic-registers. With such large arithmetic registers, the effects of coefficient roundoff and arithmetic roundoff errors on the filter output are reduced. The price paid for the improved numerical performance is the increased time spent by the system moving data to and from memory. The method of Knowles and Olcayto for measuring the effect of coefficient roundoff is studies in detail. This method is applied to an example filter in order …

Design Of A Single User Deconcentrator For A Conferenced Voice Communication Circuit Switching System, Ming-Yung Wen Oct 1983

Design Of A Single User Deconcentrator For A Conferenced Voice Communication Circuit Switching System, Ming-Yung Wen

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A single user deconcentrator is designed for a circuit switched digital switching system which emphasizes mass conferencing. The switching system consists of distributed concentrators which include a first level of conferencing and a broadcast bus which includes a second level of conferencing. The deconcentrator features volume adjustment of individual conferences as well as a third and last level of conferencing- a conference of the individual conferences obtained from the broadcast bus. The design identifies the MSI and SSI components of the deconcentrator and provides an estimate of timing and board size. An alternative volume adjustment algorithm and the extension of …

Teaching Research Methodology And Writing In The Graduate Communication Program, Lawrence B. Rosenfeld Oct 1983

Teaching Research Methodology And Writing In The Graduate Communication Program, Lawrence B. Rosenfeld

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Using editorial experience as a point of departure, this article argues that graduate communication programs must give sustained attention to research methodology and scholarly writing. It links publication to professional advancement while emphasizing broader benefits of research training, including skepticism, problem solving, careful inference, and responsible evaluation of evidence. The article identifies recurring manuscript problems involving significance, research design, statistical method, writing clarity, documentation, and physical presentation. It also suggests that weak research often reflects not only technical problems but also attitudes toward inquiry, communication, and professional contribution. The article contributes to graduate education by connecting research instruction, writing pedagogy, …

Approaching Speech Communication From A Social Scientific Perspective, Alvin Goldberg Oct 1983

Approaching Speech Communication From A Social Scientific Perspective, Alvin Goldberg

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Framing speech communication through a social scientific lens, this article argues that the field can be understood through its content, theories, research methods, critical standards, and applications. It describes how scientifically oriented scholars expanded communication study beyond formal public address to include intrapersonal, interpersonal, group, organizational, and interorganizational processes. The article emphasizes theory development, varied empirical and descriptive methods, standards for evaluating research and coursework, and applications grounded in research findings rather than solely in rhetorical or artistic principles. It also notes tensions between academic respectability and skill development. The article contributes to field definition by presenting social scientific inquiry …

Priorities For Program Survival, Stanley F. Paulson Oct 1983

Priorities For Program Survival, Stanley F. Paulson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Written from a dean’s perspective, this article identifies factors that can strengthen speech communication programs during periods of budget pressure and program review. It argues that communication benefits from broad societal growth, employer demand for speaking, listening, interpersonal, and writing abilities, and strong student interest, but also faces economic retrenchment and possible overproduction of academic doctorates. The article recommends four priorities for program survival: high quality research, stronger relationships with other disciplines, balance between theoretical study and competence based instruction, and development of public constituencies including alumni and campus partners. It frames these priorities not only as defensive strategies but …

Sexual Harassment: A Protected Species On Campus?, Bonnie Gene Ritter Oct 1983

Sexual Harassment: A Protected Species On Campus?, Bonnie Gene Ritter

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Arguing from shared academic values rather than from legal documentation, this article examines how sexual harassment can be protected when academic freedom and collegiality are applied too broadly. It contends that faculty communities may use legitimate principles to shield behavior that harms students, colleagues, and institutional trust. The article identifies areas where vague professional standards can enable abuse of power, including mentoring, advising, recommendations, assistantships, funding, and grading. It also criticizes closed internal responses that delay policy development, resist outside inquiry, and protect offenders more than victims. The article contributes to academic ethics by urging clearer limits on professional freedom …

Sexual Harassment In Academic Settings: Implications For Personal Ethical Behavior, Christine Oravec Oct 1983

Sexual Harassment In Academic Settings: Implications For Personal Ethical Behavior, Christine Oravec

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Opening with examples from communication and university settings, this article examines sexual harassment as an ethical problem in academic life. It reviews studies of harassment incidence, definitions, perceived seriousness, and consequences, while emphasizing power differences between faculty and students, possible manipulation of academic rewards, and harms to confidence, mentoring, evaluation, and institutional trust. The article distinguishes personal, institutional, and legal concerns, then focuses on ethical responsibilities that remain even when conduct is not formally prosecuted. It also discusses student use of sexuality, harassment of men, and harassment of faculty women. The article concludes with personal conduct guidelines for instructors, including …
