Offer, Acceptance, And Efficient Reliance, Richard Craswell Feb 1996

Offer, Acceptance, And Efficient Reliance, Richard Craswell

Articles

In this article, Professor Craswell explores efficient reliance as an implicit economic rationale underlying courts' decisions in contract formation cases. Contracting parties often fail to express their intentions clearly and courts must later decide what the parties would have wanted ex ante. When negotiations fail, one party (S) may deny ever making a commitment, while the other party (B) may claim to have relied on the first party's statements or conduct. Professor Craswell observes that courts often find a binding commitment by S when reliance by B would have been efficient. After explaining when reliance is efficient, and why the …


Does Deafness Lead To Enhancement Of Visual Spatial Cognition In Children? Negative Evidence From Deaf Nonsigners, Ila Parasnis, Vincent Samar, Jeffrey Bettger Jan 1996

Does Deafness Lead To Enhancement Of Visual Spatial Cognition In Children? Negative Evidence From Deaf Nonsigners, Ila Parasnis, Vincent Samar, Jeffrey Bettger

Articles

This study investigated whether deafness contributes to enhancement of visual spatial cognition independent of knowledge of a sign language. Congenitally deaf school children in India who were born to hearing parents and were not exposed to any sign language, and matched hearing controls, were given a test of digit span and five tests that measured visual spatial skills. The deaf group showed shorter digit span than the hearing group, consistent with previous studies. Deaf and hearing children did not differ in their performance on the visual spatial skills tests, suggesting that deafness per se may not be a sufficient factor …


Combining Pulse Compression And Adaptive Drive Signal Design To Inverse Filter The Transducer System Response And Improve Resolution In Medical Ultrasound, S. Venkatraman, Navalgund Rao Jan 1996

Combining Pulse Compression And Adaptive Drive Signal Design To Inverse Filter The Transducer System Response And Improve Resolution In Medical Ultrasound, S. Venkatraman, Navalgund Rao

Articles

An adaptive inverse filtering technique has been incorporated into a medical ultrasound B-scan scheme that used a linear frequency modulated pulse for imaging. Resolution improvement is demonstrated with imaging experiments on wire targets and tissue-mimicking phantoms.


An Mtf Analysis Of Papers, Jonathan Arney, Charles Arney, Miako Katsube Jan 1996

An Mtf Analysis Of Papers, Jonathan Arney, Charles Arney, Miako Katsube

Articles

Resolution and tone reproduction characteristics of all hard copy images on paper are significantly influenced by the way light scatters in the paper. However, little has been published on experimental techniques for measuring light scattering and resolution characteristics of paper. Three experimental techniques are discussed in the current work. The first is a direct measure of paper MTF by microdensitometric scans of illuminated edges projected onto the paper. This technique is tedious and of intrinsically low precision. The second technique is based on Kubelka-Munk theory and derives MTF behavior from the Kubelka-Munk equations and experimental measurements of paper reflectance. This …


Hole Removal In High-Ph-Induced Reduction-Sensitized Silver Bromide Grains, A. Gary Difrancesco, Monica Tyne, Chris Pryor Jan 1996

Hole Removal In High-Ph-Induced Reduction-Sensitized Silver Bromide Grains, A. Gary Difrancesco, Monica Tyne, Chris Pryor

Articles

High-pH-induced reduction sensitization was used to form silver clusters on the surfaces of octahedral silver bromide grains. This method had the advantage of not leaving unreacted reducing agent in the emulsion, which could cause further silver cluster formation over time. Diffuse reflection spectroscopy measurements showed these silver clusters to be similar to those formed by dimethylamine borane and SnCl2, except that the absorption peaks were noticeably less intense. Large emulsion grains sensitized in this manner benefited most from the hole-removal ability of the silver clusters. The result was a linear relationship between speed and grain volume for edge lengths 0.28 …


Spectroscopic And Sensitometric Studies Of Chemically Produced Silver Clusters, Shilin Guo, Richard Hailstone Jan 1996

Spectroscopic And Sensitometric Studies Of Chemically Produced Silver Clusters, Shilin Guo, Richard Hailstone

Articles

The reducing agents dimethylamineborane and SnCl[2] were used to produce silver clusters chemically in an AgBr emulsion. These silver clusters were detected with diffuse reflectance spectroscopy at photographically relevant sensitizer concentrations, and their reflectance at 476 nm correlated well with the effects of these reducing agents on photographic sensitivity. Spectroscopy was used to monitor the photochemical reactions of these silver clusters. A portion of the 476-nm peak derived from the Kubelka-Munk transform of the reflectance spectra could be photobleached using band-gap excitation, indicating that some of the silver clusters were destroyed by photogenerated holes. However, some silver clusters did not …


Modeling The Yule-Nielsen Halftone Effect, Jonathan Arney, Charles Arney, Peter Engeldrum Jan 1996

Modeling The Yule-Nielsen Halftone Effect, Jonathan Arney, Charles Arney, Peter Engeldrum

Articles

The Yule-Nielsen effect, also called optical dot gain, is a nonlinear relationship between the reflectance of a halftone image and the fractional dot area of the halftone dots. Two models of the Yule-Nielsen effect are examined. The first is an empirical model previously described in the literature, and the second is an a priori model derived for an idealized halftone line system in one spatial dimension. Both are shown to model halftone behavior well. By combining the two models we derive that a semiempirical function establishes a simple connection between the magnitude of the Yule-Nielsen effect and independently measurable scattering …


Termes De Signes Positif Et Négatif En Analyses Exergétiques Des Flux De Chaleur, Jim Mcgovern, Pierre Le Goff Jan 1996

Termes De Signes Positif Et Négatif En Analyses Exergétiques Des Flux De Chaleur, Jim Mcgovern, Pierre Le Goff

Articles

In various technical plants there are heat transfer rates at temperatures above that of the environment and other simultaneous heat transfer rates at temperatures below the temperature of the environment. This is the case in cryogenic industrial processes where a cooling effect is produced from a heat source. This is also the case for all absorption refrigeration plants or absorption plants that provide refrigeration and heat pumping, notably for air-conditioning of buildings. In these cases exergetic analysis leads to equations in which some terms are positive and others are negative. This can pose problems in the definition of exergetic, or …

Twenty Years Of Undergraduate Libraries: Whence And Whither?, Mark Watson, Jody Bales Foote, Roland Person Jan 1996

Twenty Years Of Undergraduate Libraries: Whence And Whither?, Mark Watson, Jody Bales Foote, Roland Person

Articles

Undergraduate libraries as part of university library systems have existed since 1949, but there is little statistical data prior to 1971. This study examines statistics reported since that time, supplemented with electronic mail surveying, to show how such libraries have responded to the changing needs of an undergraduate population. The results show that change, and rapid response to external forces, are hallmarks of undergraduate libraries past and present.
