Deaf Supervisors Of Hearing Employees: A Profile In Progress, Susan Foster, Janet Macleod-Gallinger Jan 1996

Deaf Supervisors Of Hearing Employees: A Profile In Progress, Susan Foster, Janet Macleod-Gallinger

Articles

Deaf and hard-of-hearing postsecondary graduates from a national technical college were surveyed to identify who among them were supervisors of primarily hearing employees. The sample was selected based on past job information they provided and referrals solicited from the college community. Questions about current job title, span of responsibility, comm8unication modes, and supervisory experience were included to identify graduates who met our supervisor criteria. A profile of these graduates is provided along with discussion of the positive and negative aspects they associated with supervising other employees. Outcomes from this phase of the study will be used as a guide to …


A Mathematical Model Of Growth Factor Induced Capillary Growth In The Retina, Sophia Maggelakis, Andreas Savakis Jan 1996

A Mathematical Model Of Growth Factor Induced Capillary Growth In The Retina, Sophia Maggelakis, Andreas Savakis

Articles

Abnormal capillary growth in the retina has been recently associated with the presence of the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). The production of VEGF is a result of oxygen starvation in the retina, which can take place as a consequence of inadequate capillary growth in premature babies or clogged capillaries in diabetics. When VEGF levels rise, they trigger abnormal blood vessel growth across the retina, and may cause damage, and sometimes permanent loss of vision. In this paper, a mathematical model that examines the effects of VEGF on the growth of retinal capillaries is presented. The model directly relates the …

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 …


Knowledge-Based System For Casting Process Selection, Ahmet Er, Edward Sweeney, Voya Kondic Jan 1996

Knowledge-Based System For Casting Process Selection, Ahmet Er, Edward Sweeney, Voya Kondic

Articles

Design of casting entails the knowledge of various interacting factors that are unique to casting process, and, quite often, product designers do not have the required foundry-specific knowledge. Casting designers normally have to liaise with casting experts in order to ensure the product designed is castable and the optimum casting method is selected. This two-way communication results in long design lead times, and lack of it can easily lead to incorrect casting design. A computer-based system at the discretion of a design engineer can, however, alleviate this problem and enhance the prospect of casting design for manufacture. This paper proposes …

Congress, Constitutional Moments, And The Cost-Benefit State Legislative Foreword, Cass R. Sunstein Jan 1996

Congress, Constitutional Moments, And The Cost-Benefit State Legislative Foreword, Cass R. Sunstein

Articles

In this article, Cass Sunstein explores the 104th Congress' attempts at regulatory reform. Professor Sunstein believes that the election of this Congress, with its distinctive approach to government, signals the dawning of a "constitutional moment" in which the role of government at all levels will be reexamined. Without full public support for sweeping changes in government, this moment has not yet materialized. When and if it does, regulatory reform will be one of its aspects. Indeed the nation has already begun to examine regulation to determine ifth e benefits justify the costs. Unfortunately, the 104th Congress has, thus far, failed …
