Chp And Energy Conservation, Jim Mcgovern Sep 1995

Chp And Energy Conservation, Jim Mcgovern

Articles

The principles of the use of 'combined heat and power' (CHP) for the achievement of fuel energy conservation, minimisation of environmental impact and economic advantage are explained. A distinction is made between the two types of outputs: heat and work. It is argued that an efficiency value that is defined as the sum of the heat and work outputs divided by the energy of the fuel used is not very meaningful. An alternative, rational, efficiency is explained. It is concluded that CHP is an option to be considered where both heating and power are required, but is not a general …


Testing Colour-Appearance Models: Guidelines For Coordinated Research, Mark Fairchild Aug 1995

Testing Colour-Appearance Models: Guidelines For Coordinated Research, Mark Fairchild

Articles

These guidelines provide an overview of the many issues involved in generating visual data that can be used to evaluate the performance of colour-appearance models. the three main sections of these guidelines outline the parameters that must be evaluated and controlled in experimental setups for colour-appearance experiments, suggested psychophysical techniques for gathering the data, and some suggested techniques for data analysis. Experimental parameters addressed include models to be tested, illumination conditions, background and surround conditions, types of stimuli to be used, and issues relating to viewing technique. the psychophysical techniques of magnitude estimation, matching, and direct model testing (paired comparison) …


Laser Oriented K-36 For Time-Reversal Symmetry Measurements, A. R. Young, W. S. Anderson, F. P. Calaprice, G. D. Cates, Gordon L. Jones, D. A. Krieger, R. B. Vogelaar Aug 1995

Laser Oriented K-36 For Time-Reversal Symmetry Measurements, A. R. Young, W. S. Anderson, F. P. Calaprice, G. D. Cates, Gordon L. Jones, D. A. Krieger, R. B. Vogelaar

Articles

We have produced very large nuclear alignments in radioactive K-36 (half-life 0.34 sec) through laser optical pumping techniques. The K-36 was created through (p,n) reactions using a 50 nA, 22 MeV proton beam, and a 3.3 atmosphere Ar-36 target. Measurements were made with the target cell at room temperature, when direct optical pumping produces nuclear orientation in the K-36, and at elevated temperatures 160 degrees C and 180 degrees C) where the K-36 is oriented through a combination of direct optical pumping and spin exchange. The fraction of the maximal nuclear alignment for the 180 degrees C data was determined …


Robustness Of Decentralized Tests With Ε-Contamination Prior, Chandrakanth H. Gowda, R. Viswanathan Jul 1995

Robustness Of Decentralized Tests With Ε-Contamination Prior, Chandrakanth H. Gowda, R. Viswanathan

Articles

We consider a decentralized detection problem where the prior density is not completely known, but is assumed to belong to an ε-contamination class. The expressions for the infimum and the supremum of the posterior probability that the parameter under question is in a given region, as the prior varies over the ε-contamination class, are derived. Numerical results are obtained for a specific case of an exponentially distributed observation and an exponentially distributed nominal prior. Asymptotic (as number of sensors tends to a large value) results are also obtained. The results illustrate the degree of robustness achieved with quantized observations as …


Freedom And Criminal Responsibility In The Age Of Pound: An Essay On Criminal Justice, Thomas A. Green Jun 1995

Freedom And Criminal Responsibility In The Age Of Pound: An Essay On Criminal Justice, Thomas A. Green

Articles

The concept of freedom has two main aspects: political liberty and freedom of the will. I am concerned here with the latter, although - as these two aspects of freedom are not entirely unrelated to each other - I shall touch also on the former. Enough has been written from a philosophical perspective on the relationship between free will and the law that it is not easy to justify yet another such undertaking. But there may still be room for some informal observations on the manner in which doubts about the concept of freedom of the will affected discussion of …


Cosmological Histories For The New Variables Of Ashtekar, Seth Major, L. Smolin May 1995

Cosmological Histories For The New Variables Of Ashtekar, Seth Major, L. Smolin

Articles

Histories and measures for quantum cosmology are investigated through a quantization of the Bianchi type IX cosmology using path integral techniques. The result, derived in the context of Ashtekar variables, is compared with earlier work.


On The Duties And Rights Of Parents, Carl E. Schneider May 1995

On The Duties And Rights Of Parents, Carl E. Schneider

Articles

The law of the family is the law of the absurd. Law is a system of rules administered institutionally, and thus it must treat people categorically. When law regulates economic life, it finds people at arguably their most schematic, motivated-perhaps-by a relatively unitary conception of their interest pursued in relatively rational ways. But in family life, people are at their least schematic and at their most frustratingly human, various, idiosyncratic, irrational, and perverse, and the law's efforts to affect them are thus often quixotic. In Parents as Fiduciaries, 1 Professor Scott and Dean Scott strikingly and boldly deploy the …

Reading One Poet In Light Of Another: Herbert And Frost, James Boyd White Mar 1995

Reading One Poet In Light Of Another: Herbert And Frost, James Boyd White

Articles

In this paper I wish both to draw certain connections between Herbert and Frost and at the same time to say something in a general way about the process by which such connections can be made. It is with the latter question that I begin. Once the relation between two writers would have been thought of mainly in terms of "influence." And one might indeed argue that Herbert did have significant influence on Frost's poetic practice — if not directly, for Frost was not a great reader of Herbert, then indirectly, through Emerson, who was in many ways Frost's master …


Understanding Changed Readings: Fidelity And Theory, Lawrence Lessig Feb 1995

Understanding Changed Readings: Fidelity And Theory, Lawrence Lessig

Articles

In this article, Professor Lessig proposes a theory to explain how new readings of the Constitution may maintain fidelity with past understandings of the document's meaning and purpose. After defining schematically some terminology for this exercise in "fidelity theory," the author proposes a general typology of four justifications for changed constitutional readings: amendment, synthesis, fact translation, and structural translation. Describing this last justification as so far overlooked, he illustrates, by way of four historical case studies, how structural translation results from a pragmatic institutional response by judges to subtle changes in interpretive context-changes both in what Professor Lessig calls the …

Remedies When Contracts Lack Consent: Autonomy And Institutional Competence, Richard Craswell Jan 1995

Remedies When Contracts Lack Consent: Autonomy And Institutional Competence, Richard Craswell

Articles

Autonomy-based theories hold that enforceable contracts require the knowing and voluntary consent of the parties. In defining "knowing" and "voluntary," however, autonomy theorists have paid little attention to the remedy that will be granted if consent is round to be lacking, or to the question of what obligations (if any) will be enforced in place of the unconsented-to contract. In this paper, I expand on Michael Trebilcock's argument that considerations of institutional competence-specifically, the relative ability of courts and private actors to craft acceptable substitute obligations-should sometimes play a key role in defining what counts as "knowing" and "voluntary" consent.

Fuzzifying The Natural Law--Legal Positivist Debate, Edward S. Adams, Torben Spaak Jan 1995

Fuzzifying The Natural Law--Legal Positivist Debate, Edward S. Adams, Torben Spaak

Articles

Legal scholars have long debated various theories of law. The debate between natural lawyers and legal positivists is case in point. This debate centers, as is well known, on the claim that there is a conceptual connection between law and morality. Natural law theorists maintain that there is such a connection, whereas legal positivists maintain that there isn't. The dialogue in this article details the respective positions of a natural law theorist, Naturalis, a legal positivist, Positivus, and a fuzzy logician, Multivalus, with regard to a case that arose in post-war Germany. As the dialogue highlights, fuzzy logic is a …
