Preparation Of (Pb,Ba)Tio3 Powders And Highly Oriented Thin Films By A Sol-Gel Process, Stacey Boland, Suresh Pillai, Wein-Duo Yang, Sossina Haile
Preparation Of (Pb,Ba)Tio3 Powders And Highly Oriented Thin Films By A Sol-Gel Process, Stacey Boland, Suresh Pillai, Wein-Duo Yang, Sossina Haile
Articles
Solid solution Pb1-xBaxTiO3, with particular emphasis on Pb0.5Ba0.5TiO3, was prepared
using a sol-gel process incorporating lead acetate trihydrate, barium acetate, and
titanium isopropoxide as precursors, acetylacetone (2,4 pentanedione) as a chelating
agent, and ethylene glycol as a solvent. The synthesis procedure was optimized by
systematically varying acetylacetone: Ti and H2O:Ti molar ratios and calcination
temperature. The resulting effects on sol and powder properties were studied using
thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, and x-ray diffraction (XRD).
Crystallization of the perovskite structure occurred at a temperature as low as 450 °C.
Thin films were prepared by spin …
Integrated Sustainability In The Pharmaceutical Industry, Jennifer Schneider, Thea Leonard
Integrated Sustainability In The Pharmaceutical Industry, Jennifer Schneider, Thea Leonard
Articles
The main goal of pharmaceutical companies is to create and deliver medicines designed to extend or enhance life. However—also being in the business of business—pharmaceutical companies need to grow their bottom lines by investing in business value drivers. This article shows sustainability performance as one of those drivers by demonstrating that: 1) the concept of integrated sustainability is generally understood; and 2) pharmaceutical companies taking action to integrate sustainability are reaping significant business value added. Since there are currently no standardized methods of integrating, measuring, or communicating sustainability, pharmaceutical companies are relying on self-interpretations of voluntary initiatives to successfully integrate …

Software failures can be dramatic, exp3ensive and catastrophic. The London Stock Exchange was developed eleven years late and 13,200% over budget (Corr 2002). A catastro0phic software failure in February 1998 interrupted the New York Mercantile Exchange and phone service in several East Coast cities (NIST 2002). All industries need software development process improvement. Of 800 business technology managers responding to an InformationWeek survey, 97% reported problems with software bugs in the past year and nine out of 10 reported higher costs, lost revenue, or both as a result (Hayes 2002, p. 40)

Of Power And Responsibility: The Political Morality Of Federal Systems, Daniel Halberstam
Of Power And Responsibility: The Political Morality Of Federal Systems, Daniel Halberstam
Articles
In comparative constitutional discourse, Americans are from Mars and Europeans from Venus; we eagerly tell our European counterparts about the U.S. constitutional experience, but rarely do we listen when they talk to us about their own. Whereas Europeans routinely examine U.S. constitutionalism as an illuminating point of comparison or contrast, as Americans, we seem convinced that we have nothing to learn from looking abroad. This Article challenges that assumption. In particular, it argues that American courts and scholars have overlooked an important alternative to the dominant interpretation of the division of powers in the United States by ignoring the theory …

The current period of globalization (defined loosely as increasing global economic integration), which began with the liberalization of exchange and capital controls and lowering of trade and investment barriers in the 1980s, is not the first time the world got economically smaller. The period from 1870 to the outbreak of World War I in 1914 was by some measures (such as the percentage of GNP in developed countries derived from overseas investment, and labor migration) marked by more extensive globalization than the post-1980 one. This earlier globalization came to a halt with the hostilities of World War I, followed by …

Seeking Truth For Power: Informational Strategy And Regulatory Policymaking, Cary Coglianese, Richard Zeckhauser, Edward A. Parson
Articles
Information is the lifeblood of regulatory policy. The effective use of governmental power depends on information about conditions in the world, strategies for improving those conditions, and the consequences associated with deploying different strategies. Indeed, this need for information has led legislatures to create specialized committee structures, delegate policy authority to expert agencies, and develop administrative procedures that encourage analysis. Although legal scholars have extensively debated procedures and reforms designed to improve the analytic and scientific basis of regulatory policymaking, they have paid relatively little attention to how regulators gain the information they need for making and implementing regulatory policy. …
Labor And Employment Law In Two Transitional Decades, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Labor And Employment Law In Two Transitional Decades, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Articles
Labor law became labor and employment law during the past several decades. The connotation of "labor law" is the regulation of union-management relations and that was the focus from the 1930s through the 1950s. In turn, voluntary collective bargaining was supposed to be the method best suited for setting the terms and conditions of employment for the nation's work force. Since the 1960s, however, the trend has been toward more governmental intervention to ensure nondiscrimination, safety and health, pensions and other fringe benefits, and so on. "Employment law" is now the term for the direct federal or state regulation of …
Face To Face': Rediscovering The Right To Confront Prosecution Witnesses, Richard D. Friedman
Face To Face': Rediscovering The Right To Confront Prosecution Witnesses, Richard D. Friedman
Articles
The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the right of an accused 'to confront the witnesses against him'. The United States Supreme Court has treated this Confrontation Clause as a broad but rather easily rebuttable rule against using hearsay on behalf of a criminal prosecution; with respect to most hearsay, the exclusionary rule is overcome if the court is persuaded that the statement is sufficiently reliable, and the court can reach that conclusion if the statement fits within a 'firmly rooted' hearsay exception. This article argues that this framework should be abandoned. The clause should not be regarded …
On The Empirical Balanced Truncation For Nonlinear Systems, Marissa Condon, Rossen Ivanov
On The Empirical Balanced Truncation For Nonlinear Systems, Marissa Condon, Rossen Ivanov
Articles
Novel constructions of empirical controllability and observability gramians for nonlinear systems for subsequent use in a balanced truncation style of model reduction are proposed. The new gramians are based on a generalisation of the fundamental solution for a Linear Time-Varying system. Relationships between the given gramians for nonlinear systems and the standard gramians for both Linear Time-Invariant and Linear Time-Varying systems are established as well as relationships to prior constructions proposed for empirical gramians. Application of the new gramians is illustrated through a sample test-system.
Riemann Tensor Of The Ambient Universe, The Dilaton, And Newton’S Constant, Rossen Ivanov, Emil Prodanov
Riemann Tensor Of The Ambient Universe, The Dilaton, And Newton’S Constant, Rossen Ivanov, Emil Prodanov
Articles
We investigate a four-dimensional world, embedded into a five-dimensional spacetime, and find the five-dimensional Riemann tensor via generalisation of the Gauss (--Codacci) equations. We then derive the generalised equations of the four-dimensional world and also show that the square of the dilaton field is equal to the Newton's constant. We find plausable constant and non-constant solutions for the dilaton. Comment: 5 pages, revtex

Electronic Speckle Pattern Shearing Interferometer With A Photopolymer Holographyc Grating, Emilia Mihaylova, Izabela Naydenova, Suzanne Martin, Vincent Toal
Articles
A photopolymer holographic grating is used to produce the two sheared images in an electronic speckle pattern shearing interferometer. A ground glass screen following the grating serves the purpose of eliminating unwanted diffraction orders and to remove the requirement for the CCD camera to resolve the diffraction grating’s pitch. The sheared images on the ground glass are further imaged onto the CCD camera. The fringe pattern contrast was estimated to be above 90%. A validation of the system was done by comparing the theoretical phase difference distribution with the experimental data from the three point bending test.
Images Of Health Insurance In Popular Film: The Dissolving Critique, Elizabeth Pendo
Images Of Health Insurance In Popular Film: The Dissolving Critique, Elizabeth Pendo
Articles
Several recent films have villainized the health insurance industry as central elements of their plots. This Article examines three of those films: Critical Care, The Rainmaker, and John Q. It analyzes these films through the context of the consumer backlash against managed care that began in the 1990s and shows how these films reflect the consumer sentiment regarding health insurance companies and the cost controlling strategies they employ. In addition, the Article identifies three key premises about health insurance in the films that, although exaggerated and incomplete, have significant factual support. Ultimately, the author argues that, despite their passionately critical …

Grutter V. Bollinger: This Generation's Brown V. Board Of Education, Michelle Adams
Articles
At first blush, Grutter appears to be a deviation from the body of the Court's recent affirmative action jurisprudence: it says "yes" where the other cases said "no." But it is not so clear that Grutter is a deviation from current law. Instead, it might be seen as consistent with it, in that the justification for the racial preference recognized in Grutter transcended the justifications offered in the previous cases, and the method used to achieve that end, "race as a factor," diffused rather than highlighted race. From this perspective, Grutter addressed several concerns that had troubled the Court for …

Gas Plume Species Identification By Regression Analyses, David Pogorzala, David W. Messinger, Carl Salvaggio, John R. Schott
Articles
Identification of constituent gases in effluent plumes is performed using linear least-squares regression techniques. Overhead thermal hyperspectral imagery is used for this study. Synthetic imagery is employed as the test-case for algorithm development. Synthetic images are generated by the Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Image Generation (DIRSIG) Model. The use of synthetic data provides a direct measure of the success of the algorithm through the comparison with truth map outputs. In image test-cases, plumes emanating from factory stacks will have been identified using a separate detection algorithm. The gas identification algorithm being developed in this work will then be used …

Three-Terminal Si-Based Negative Differential Resistance Circuit Element With Adjustable Peak-To-Valley Current Ratios Using A Monolithic Vertical Integration, Sung-Yong Chung, Niu Jin, Paul Berger, Ronghua Yu, Phillip E. Thompson, Roger Lake, Sean L. Rommel, Santosh K. Kurinec
Articles
Si-based resonant bipolar transistors are demonstrated by the monolithic vertical integration of Si-based resonant interband tunnel diodes atop the emitter of Si/SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors ~HBTs! on a silicon substrate. In the common emitter configuration, IC versus VCE shows negative differential resistance characteristics. The resulting characteristics are adjustable peak-to-valley current ratios, including infinite and negative values, and tailorable peak current densities by the control of the HBT base current under room temperature operation. With the integrated RITD-HBT combination, latching properties which are the key operating principle for high-speed mixed-signal, memory, and logic circuitry, are experimentally demonstrated.

Both literary scholars and students of copyright law have challenged the romantic model of authorship a model emphasizing individual genius and creation ex nihilo Authorship they argue is actually a collaborative effort Authors assemble their works from the fragments of their cultural environment transforming as much as creating Copyright law however still champions the rights of authors and it requires a coherent theory of what authorship is An alternative to the romantic model of authorship can be found in information theory a branch of mathematics dealing at a very fundamental level with all forms of communication Authorship could be defined …

Architectural Registration And It's Diversity Vortex., Shannon Chance
Articles
Architects: take a serious look at your demographics. While other professions are making strides to represent the diversity of America's population, yours lags markedly behind. Most U.S. architecture schools began admitting women and minorities between 1965 and 1972, but many who completed architecture degrees in the interim haven't yet received professional licensure. The ranks of licensed architects remain mainly white and mainly male, which denies society fair representation in shaping the built environment. Consider that African-American females comprise roughly 7% of the U.S. population but less than 0.2% of licensed architects; they've achieved proportionally higher success in law, medicine, and …

Application Of Espi-Method For Strain Analysis In Thin Wall Cylinders, David Kennedy, Zdravko Schauperl, Seamus Greene, Emilia Mihaylova
Articles
The Centre for Industrial and Engineering Optics, DIT, Ireland, have recently developed and applied new optical techniques for the measurement of mechanical strain, one of which was based on electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI). The accuracy of this optical technique when used on flat surfaces is well established. In this research the technique is tested on curved surfaces, and results are compared with the theoretical hoop strain as predicted by the bi-axial strain equation modified for the thin cylinder, and by those obtained by electrical resistance strain gauge (ERSG) undoubtedly the principal method of measuring mechanical strain. For testing procedures, …

Mechancial Characterization Of Unplasticised Polyvinylchloride Thick Pipes Using Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry, Emilia Mihaylova, Benjamin Potelon, Guntaka Tulasi Sridhar Reddy, Vincent Toal, Ciaran Smith
Articles
In this work a number of techniques (electronic speckle pattern interferometry, holographic interferometry, strain gauge and finite element method) are brought to bear in order to establish consistency in the results of strain measurement. This is necessary if optical nondestructive testing methods, such as those used here, are to gain acceptance for routine industrial use. The FE model provides a useful check. Furthermore, ESPI fringe data facilitates the extension of FE models, an approach that is of growing importance in component testing. The use of in-plane and out-of-plane sensitive electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) for non-destructive material characterization of thick …
