Fluctuating Hydrodynamics In A Dilute Gas, Alejandro Garcia, G. Lie, E. Clementi Jan 1987

Fluctuating Hydrodynamics In A Dilute Gas, Alejandro Garcia, G. Lie, E. Clementi

Faculty Publications

Hydrodynamic fluctuations in a dilute gas subjected to a constant heat flux are studied by both a computer simulation and the Landau-Lifshitz formalism. The latter explicitly incorporates the boundary conditions of the finite system, thus permitting quantitative comparison with the former. Good agreement is demonstrated.

Diagnosing Relationships With Spatial Distance: An Empirical Test Of A Clinical Principle, D. Russell Crane, David C. Dollahite, William Griffin, Vincent L. Taylor Jan 1987

Diagnosing Relationships With Spatial Distance: An Empirical Test Of A Clinical Principle, D. Russell Crane, David C. Dollahite, William Griffin, Vincent L. Taylor

Faculty Publications

Several family systems therapists have discussed the value of observing families' spatial relationships as an aid in diagnosing family structure and processes. For example, Haley (1976) notes that: "When the family members seat themselves, sometimes the organization of the family is clarified" (p. 18). Minuchin (1974) also discusses the same idea when he writes: "When the family sits down, the family therapist should pay attention to how they position themselves. Often their placement can give him some hunches about family affiliations" (p. 207). The general idea behind this concept is that families often reveal a good deal about themselves in …

Simultaneous System Identification And Decision-Directed Detection And Estimation Of Jump Inputs To Linear Systems, Wynn C. Stirling Jan 1987

Simultaneous System Identification And Decision-Directed Detection And Estimation Of Jump Inputs To Linear Systems, Wynn C. Stirling

Faculty Publications

A decision-directed approach is presented for analyzing linear systems with unknown jump inputs. The system model parameters are estimated using a Kalman filter, and an empirical Bayes detection procedure is introduced to set the detector parameters, resulting in a decision-directed generalized likelihood ratio test coupled with recursive system parameter estimation. Monte Carlo results are presented to validate the performance of the algorithm.


Anneal Induced Changes In Amorphous Semiconductor Multilayers, David D. Allred, Jesus González-Hernández, O. V. Nguyen Jan 1987

Anneal Induced Changes In Amorphous Semiconductor Multilayers, David D. Allred, Jesus González-Hernández, O. V. Nguyen

Faculty Publications

We have prepared, heat treated and characterized various amorphous semiconductor periodic multilayers and ultrathin films. These were prepared by several vapor deposition techniques at substrate temperatures ranging from 25°C to 300°C and possessed periodicities from 22 to 400Å. Films were subjected to isochronal thermal treatments at progressively higher temperatures. Two effects were observed: enhanced diffusion and retarded crystallization. Interdiffusion, at rates which are many orders of magnitude higher than those anticipated from crystalline data, was observed in a-Si/a-Ge multilayers. Crystallization of germanium, the more readily crystallized member of the couple, is retarded; the extent depends on the thickness of the …

Approximation By Rational Functions, Ronald A. Devore Dec 1986

Approximation By Rational Functions, Ronald A. Devore

Faculty Publications

Making use of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, we give a new proof of the following theorem of Pekarski: If f' is in L log L on a finite interval, then f can be approximated in the uniform norm by rational functions of degree n to an error 0(1/n) on that interval.

Multidimensional Scaling In Counseling Research And Practice, Mark L. Davison, P. Scott Richards, James B. Rounds Jr. Dec 1986

Multidimensional Scaling In Counseling Research And Practice, Mark L. Davison, P. Scott Richards, James B. Rounds Jr.

Faculty Publications

The authors briefly describe the use of multidimensional scaling (MDS) in counseling. They discuss types of data that have been analyzed using MDS, kinds of MDS, analyses, and the interpretation of MDS results and review MDS research relevant to vocational, family, group, and individual counseling. They also briefly discuss potential applications in counseling practice.

Eastward To Eden: The Nauvoo Rescue Missions, Richard E. Bennett Dec 1986

Eastward To Eden: The Nauvoo Rescue Missions, Richard E. Bennett

Faculty Publications

I have felt sensibly there was a good deal of suffering among the saints in Nauvoo, as there has been amongst us, but the Lord God who has fed us all the day long, has his care still over us and when the saints are chastened enough, it will cease. I have ever believed the Lord would suffer a general massacre of this people by a mob. If ten thousand men were to come against us, and no other way was open for our deliverance, the earth would swallow them up (Journal History, 27 Sept. 1846). These were the words …


Teaching Ethics: Why Is It Important? How Should It Be Done?, Miroslav Kis Dec 1986

Teaching Ethics: Why Is It Important? How Should It Be Done?, Miroslav Kis

Faculty Publications

Ethics concerns every aspect of human life. This, logically, issues out of the Biblical view of the unity of human nature. Education, while compartmentalized didactically for the purpose of specialization, cannot be complete unless some interdisciplinary and essentially human needs are met as well. Seventh-day Adventist graduates in colleges Should not be only excellent nurses, skillful secretaries, money-making businessmen but also outstanding Christians within their vocation. The world does not need to see how one can be a Christian within the church building or setting. Rather, what difference does it make to see a Christian physician as com­pared to a …


The Separation Of Law And Morals, Noel B. Reynolds Nov 1986

The Separation Of Law And Morals, Noel B. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

The classic opposition of legal positivism and natural law theory resurfaces continually and reminds us that we have yet to resolve this key conflict in our ways of understanding the moral authority of law. The strengths and weaknesses of the two theories are reviewed—both have fatal flaws. Conventionalism is proposed as a means of finding internal standards in a man-made system of law. The naturally emerging standards for a conventionalist system of law turn out to be the already familiar principles of the rule of law.


Editing Templates: A User Interface Generation Tool, Dan R. Olsen Jr. Nov 1986

Editing Templates: A User Interface Generation Tool, Dan R. Olsen Jr.

Faculty Publications

This article discusses a basic architecture for a user interface management system and the problem of updating a display in response to interactive commands. The basic architecture is then extended to include basic editing and browsing processes on arbitrary data structures. Editing templates are presented as a technique embodying the entire manipulation process for a particular data structure/data display combination. In conjuction with the user interface management system, Such templates are able to automatically provide a majority of the code required in an interactive applicaton.


Pinuxylon Woolardii Sp. Nov., A New Petrified Taxon Of Pinaceae From The Miocene Basalts Of Eastern Oregon, William D. Tidwell, Lee R. Parker, Vaughn K. Folkman Nov 1986

Pinuxylon Woolardii Sp. Nov., A New Petrified Taxon Of Pinaceae From The Miocene Basalts Of Eastern Oregon, William D. Tidwell, Lee R. Parker, Vaughn K. Folkman

Faculty Publications

Specimens of the new species Pinuxylon wollardii have been collected from Miocene strata near Kurkee, OR. These petrified specimens are unique in that, due to weathering, individual tracheids and ray cells can be separated for detailed SEM studies. This species is characterized by its high number of ray cells; numerous rays; large resin ducts which are commonly paired; primarily uniseriate pitting, two to five (usually three) small, oval or cirular pinoid pits per crossfield; and smooth walls on its transverse (ray) tracheids. The latter character relates this species to taxa in the subgenus Haploxylon of Pinus. Pinuxylon woolardii is most …


Equilibrium Properties Of Short Field-Reversed Configurations, Ross L. Spencer, M. Tuszewski Nov 1986

Equilibrium Properties Of Short Field-Reversed Configurations, Ross L. Spencer, M. Tuszewski

Faculty Publications

Some features of short field-reversed configuration (FRC) equilibria relevant to transport and stability are studied numerically and analytically. It is shown that magnetic field curvature effects significantly increase the FRC magnetization for plasma elongations epsilon is less than or equal to 4.
