Quasilinear Evolution Equations In Nonclassical Diffusion, Kenneth Kuttler, Elias Aifantis Jan 1988

Quasilinear Evolution Equations In Nonclassical Diffusion, Kenneth Kuttler, Elias Aifantis

Faculty Publications

After describing the motivation leading to some nonclassical diffusion equations, we formulate a general abstract nonlinear evolution equation and establish existence of solutions. Then we return to the original equation and discuss particular initial-boundary value problems.


Quantum Electrodynamics Based On Self-Fields, Without Second Quantization: A Nonrelativisitc Calculation Of G – 2, A. O. Barut, Jonathan P. Dowling, Jean F. Van Huele Jan 1988

Quantum Electrodynamics Based On Self-Fields, Without Second Quantization: A Nonrelativisitc Calculation Of G – 2, A. O. Barut, Jonathan P. Dowling, Jean F. Van Huele

Faculty Publications

Using a formulation of quantum electrodynamics that is not second quantized, but rather based on self-fields, we compute the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron to first order in the fine structure constant α. In the nonrelativistic (NR) case and in the dipole approximation, our result is ae≡(g—2)/2=(4Λ/3m)(α/2π), where Λ is a positive photon energy cutoff and m the electron mass. A reasonable choice of cutoff, Λ/m=¾, yields the correct sign and magnitude for g—2 namely, ae=+α/2π. . In our formulation the sign of a3 is correctly positive, …

The Purposes And Limits Of Independent Agencies, Paul R. Verkuil Jan 1988

The Purposes And Limits Of Independent Agencies, Paul R. Verkuil

Faculty Publications

The independent agency has been around for 100 years now, but we are still trying to understand how it best relates to the administration of government. Its popularity as an organizational mechanism is more a function of competing political forces within the legislative and executive branches than of any systematic analysis of its effectiveness. Yet one can discern reasons why independent agencies might be superior mechanisms for administering government programs if their structure and purpose are analyzed functionally. This essay proposes to do that and, in the process, reach some conclusions about both the potential and the limits of the …


Role Of The Criminal Defense Lawyer In Representing The Mentally Impaired Defendant: Zealous Advocate Or Officer Of The Court, Rodney J. Uphoff Jan 1988

Role Of The Criminal Defense Lawyer In Representing The Mentally Impaired Defendant: Zealous Advocate Or Officer Of The Court, Rodney J. Uphoff

Faculty Publications

This article examines a difficult question in the representation of mentally impaired criminal defendants: should counsel be obligated to inform the court of doubts about a client's competency to stand trial even though doing so may be contrary to the client's wishes or best interests? Professor Rodney J. Uphoff analyzes authorities that impose such an obligation on defense lawyers, including an American Bar Association Criminal Justice Standard and a recent decision of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, State v. Johnson. Uphoff concludes that these authorities needlessly undercut the mentally impaired defendant's right to zealous representation. He proposes an alternative ethical model …

Entrepreneurship Education Project In Vocational Education Programs. Survey Of Program Coordinators., Del Shepard

Faculty Publications

A survey determined the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education within Iowa school systems. Twenty-four teacher/participants in inservice secondary and postsecondary vocational education training who requested and received PACE (Program for Acquiring Competence in Entrepreneurship) materials were surveyed with a 92 percent response rate. Seventy-seven percent of the respondents indicated that units were available. Sixty-four percent had received training during the past 3 years. A total of 1;110 students received instruction each year. Seventy-three percent of the students had a realistic option of going into business. Twenty-one respondents said that activities are managed individually. Results indicated that practicing entrepreneurs are involved in …


Communication Strategies And Psychological Processes In Interlanguage Written Discourse, B Kumaravadivelu Jan 1988

Communication Strategies And Psychological Processes In Interlanguage Written Discourse, B Kumaravadivelu

Faculty Publications

Several papers have appeared on the strategies of communication used by L2 learners. However, very little work has been done to determine the underlying psychological processes that generate communication strategies (CS). This paper assumes that any description of CS should be based on a description of the processes governing CS. The paper attempts to correlate CS with psychological processes by analyzing interlanguage (IL) written discourse produced by advanced Tamil learners of English as a Second Language.

Nonlocal Symmetries And Backlund Transformations For The Self-Dual Yang-Mills System, C. J. Papachristou, Kent B. Harrison Jan 1988

Nonlocal Symmetries And Backlund Transformations For The Self-Dual Yang-Mills System, C. J. Papachristou, Kent B. Harrison

Faculty Publications

The observation is made that generalized evolutionary isovectors of the self-dual Yang–Mills equation, obtained by "verticalization'' of the geometrical isovectors derived in a previous paper [J. Math. Phys. 28, 1261 (1987)], generate Bäcklund transformations for the self-dual system. In particular, new Bäcklund transformations are obtained by "verticalizing'' the generators of point transformations on the solution manifold. A geometric ansatz for the derivation of such (generally nonlocal) symmetries is proposed.


Psychology Among The Saints: The Development Of Behavioral Science At Brigham Young University, Bruce L. Brown, Mark K. Allen Jan 1988

Psychology Among The Saints: The Development Of Behavioral Science At Brigham Young University, Bruce L. Brown, Mark K. Allen

Faculty Publications

There was a strong interest in psychology at Brigham Young University at the turn of the century; the third president was a psychologist and a number of distinguished psychologists regularly visited the campus. An outstanding young scholar who was destined to become the only Mormon president of the American Psychological Association started a vigorous academic psychology program in those early years, but he left the university because of a controversy over his teachings. Psychology at Brigham Young University developed little from that time until the 1940s. The 1950s were a time of rapid growth and development, expansion of the faculty, …


Using Anasazi Redwares To Reconstruct Prehistoric Trade Networks, James R. Allison Jan 1988

Using Anasazi Redwares To Reconstruct Prehistoric Trade Networks, James R. Allison

Faculty Publications

Anasazi redware ceramics were widely traded from relatively small areas which specialized in their production. They form one stylistic sequence, but exhibit technological variation due to differences in resource availability. This variation allows most redwares to be traced to specific manufacturing areas, a crucial step in the reconstruction of trade networks and alliances. However, because few archaeologists have worked with the redware production areas, the current typology is misleading and the redwares are often mistyped. As a result, patterns of distribution and the behaviors that created them are obscured.


Digital Neural Networks, Tony R. Martinez Jan 1988

Digital Neural Networks, Tony R. Martinez

Faculty Publications

Demands for applications requiring massive parallelism in symbolic environments have given rebirth to research in models labeled as neural networks. These models are made up of many simple nodes which are highly interconnected such that computation takes place as data flows amongst the nodes of the network. To present, most models have proposed nodes based on simple analog functions, where inputs are multiplied by weights and summed, the total then optionally being transformed by an arbitrary function at the node. Learning in these systems is accomplished by adjusting the weights on the input lines. This paper discusses the use of …
