Of Characterization And Other Matters: Thoughts About Multiple Damages, G. Robert Blakey

Journal Articles

Modern economic analysis owes too much to the conceit of Bentham and his followers in their arrogant reliance on disembodied reason. In fact, they have "shaped the course of law reform" for large segments of the modern world; unfortunately, they "neglected all the complex social evolution which ... [went into] the making of... [that] world and individuals" in it; and for that "reason..., they considered that the study of history was a matter of minor importance." Bentham and his many followers too often tend to rely on a handful of assumptions and reason alone–coupled with a veneer of mathematics–to describe …

Computational Modelling Of Tube Production Process For Nickel-Base Alloys., Young Ryul Kim

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Numerical modelling simulations of two dimensional tube extrusion and three dimensional tube pilgering reduction of nickel-base alloys were conducted using a commercial finite element code, DEFORM{dollar}\\sp{lcub}\\rm TM{rcub}{dollar}. Accuracy of the finite element modelling results was verified quantitatively by comparing solid extrusion simulation results with experimental data. An interface frictional coefficient was also examined and the best fit was selected for the simulation. As expected, heat loss of the extruded material was found to be significant due to temperature-dependent material properties of the alloy. A sequence of selected FEM tube extrusion simulations using DEFORM{dollar}\\sp{lcub}\\rm TM{rcub}{dollar} were carried out and based on …

Lateral Shock Of The R Aquarii Jet, J. M. Hollis, J. A. Pedelty, Menas Kafatos

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

The R Aqr jet was observed with the VLA B-configuration at two epochs separated by ~13.2 yr. Comparison of the resulting 6 cm continuum images show that the radio jet has undergone a lateral counterclockwise rotation of ~6-12 on the plane of the sky. The model of jet parcels on independent trajectories is difficult to reconcile with these observations and leads us to consider a path-oriented jet (i.e., younger parcels follow the same path as older parcels). Comparison of the most recent radio image with a nearly contemporaneous HST /FOC ultraviolet image at ~2330 A suggests that the ultraviolet emission …

Teacher Pay And Teacher Quality, Dale Ballou, Michael Podgursky

Upjohn Press

Ballou and Podgursky offer solid economic analysis on issues surrounding the debate over whether increasing salaries for teachers leads to a more qualified teaching workforce. The authors find little evidence to support the link between increased salaries and teacher quality, then address two questions: (1) What went wrong? and (2) Which reforms are likely to meet with increased success?

Estimating Spectral Albedo And Nadir Reflectance Through Inversion Of Simple Brdf Models With Avhrr/Modis-Iike Data, Jeffrey L. Privette, Thomas F. Eck, Donald W. Deering

United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Publications

In recent years, many computationally efficient bidirectional reflectance models have been developed to account for angular effects in land remote sensing data, particularly those from the NOAA advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR), polarization and directionality of the Earth's reflectances (POLDER), and the planned EOS moderate-resolution imaging spectrometer (MODIS) and multi-angle imaging spectroradiometer (MISR) sensors.

One Hour Of Chemical Demonstrations, S. Solomon, M. Oliver-Hoyo, J. Tian, B. Brook

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

This article describes a diverse set of chemistry demonstrations especially selected to encourage student interaction and to be easily transported. The demonstrations may be presented at a level that can be tailored to any audience– from very young children to high school students planning careers in science. An ideal environment is a small classroom with 20-30 students where everyone can take part in the discussion. Once the chemicals are prepared, the collection of demonstrations takes about ten minutes to set-up, and one hour (or less) to perform. Very little is needed at the visiting site, no more than a table …
