Satellite Data And Environmental Law: Technology Ripe For Litigation Application, Sharon Hatch Hodge

Pace Environmental Law Review

Earth observation satellite technology is not a junk science, and this Comment tells the litigator how to use the data properly to ensure successful acceptance as evidence. Prudence is essential in the application of satellite data, and the legal practitioner must keep an eye toward several areas of concern including reliability of the particular data set, characteristics of the data, and costs. Remote sensing data are desired as both scientific and demonstrative evidence. The litigator must have the expert prepared to address concerns of the opponent and the court. The call has been made to bring the legal community into …

Whence The Anger?, Georgi Chistyakov

Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe

Today Orthodox religiosity includes, as an almost inseparable component, a struggle against Catholics and Protestants, an attempt to expose them as enemies of our faith and of Russia, as well as a complete rejection of ecumenism and of any openness towards other confessions. The very term "ecumenism" has become pejorative and an accusation of affinity towards it is seen as evidence of a certain betrayal of Orthodoxy. It is a given that our relations with Christians of other confessions have not always been smooth, we do not understand each other in everything, certain elements of Catholic or Protestant theology are …

This article recounts the issues and technologies encountered by the Iowa State University Library as it undertook this process, with particular emphasis on the integration of 239.50-accessible databases with Web technology.

Opening Doors: Culture Learning And Conversational Narratives With First Generation Hmong Refugee Women, Lucy Vincent Kimbro

Dissertations and Theses

The life experiences of two first generation Hmong refugee women form the basis of this study. Through loosely structured but guided interviews, memories of their lives in Laos and in refugee camps in Thailand, as well as their perspectives, feelings, and opinions about current aspects of their lives, the effects of American culture on their family; and their engagement in the language and culture learning process are explored.

An examination of the involvement of Hmong women in research and ethnographic accounts concerning Hmong culture, history, and experience, show that Hmong women's perspectives have often been overlooked or disregarded. One purpose …

The Aspergillus Nidulans Sepa Gene Encodes An Fh1/2 Protein Involved In Cytokinesis And The Maintenance Of Cellular Polarity, Steven D. Harris, Lisbeth Hamer, Kathryn E. Sharpless, John E. Hamer

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

Cytokinesis (septation) in the fungus Aspergillus nidulans occurs through the formation of a transient actin ring at the incipient division site. Temperature-sensitive mutations in the sepA gene prevent septation and cause defects in the maintenance of cellular polarity, without affecting growth and nuclear division. The sepA gene encodes a member of the growing family of FH1/2 proteins, which appear to have roles in morphogenesis and cytokinesis in organisms such as yeast and Drosophila Results from temperature shift and immunofluorescence microscopy experiments strongly suggest that sepA function requires a preceding mitosis and that sepA acts prior to actin ring formation. Deletion …

Design And Evaluation Of Multimedia Extensions For The Dlx Architecture, Brian Hughes

Theses

Multimedia computer architecture extensions for Hennessy and Patterson's DLX architecture are developed following the study of multimedia applications and existing multimedia architecture extensions. Support for the extensions is added to a VHDL superscalar DLX CPU model as well as a DLX assembler. Key functions used in digital video encoding and decoding are modified to use the extensions, and simulations are undertaken using the VHDL model to determine the speedup offered by the extensions for these functions. The results of the simulations are used to calculate the application speedup based on the function speedup and the fraction of the time that …

Vhdl Design Of A Des Encryption Cracking System, Thomas Oelke

Theses

This thesis illustrates the design of a chip to crack a message encrypted with Digital Encryption Standard (DES). VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) is used to describe the system. Part of the design criteria of the system is to provide a scalable and reconfigurable set of DES building blocks in VHDL. In order to provide this, a modular design with a pipeline architecture is employed. This system could be synthesized to produce actual hardware in either an ASIC or FPGA part. Simulations using Synopsys with Actel's 3200DX FPGA library demonstrate that the design could be run at over 16Mhz. Because …

An Experimental Analysis Of The Mpeg Compression Standard With Respect To Processing Requirements, Compression Ratio, And Image Quality, Daniel Howard

Theses

As computer use and capabilities have grown, people have become more interested in being able to create and access varies types of multimedia content. The MPEG video compression technique provides a method for compressing video content down to a size that computers and networks can handle. To properly make use of this algorithm it is necessary to understand the trade-offs that exist when choosing among the various options of the MPEG algorithm. Background information on the MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 algorithms is presented. This thesis then provides an understanding of the trade-offs of applying different compression and decompression options of …

Design Optimization Of A Xerographic Auger System, Kip Jugle

Theses

This thesis will show how the Taguchi technique can be applied to a complex system and can be optimized with a minimum number of tests. The focus of this thesis is the application of Taguchi methods to the optimization of a xerographic developer auger system. An auger system was optimized to minimize the toner concentration across the magnetic roll. By minimizing the toner concentration variation across the magnetic roll, the visual density variation on the customer prints can be minimized. The technique was applied by determining the proper control factors that can be used to minimize the variation of the …

A Study Of An Under Hood Automotive Air-Conditioning Component For The Purposes Of Noise And Vibration Reduction, Charles Depasquale

Theses

All automotive components are engineered to be as quiet and smooth running as possible. This takes into account structure borne noise as well as air borne noise. A standard air conditioning compressor is analyzed statically (outof- vehicle testing) in this study to better understand noise and vibration traits. Mode shapes of the compressor, associated with noise, are extracted in an operating frequency range and shown to be modeled after a simple two degree of freedom system. Bearing free play in the pulley is cited as another possible source of noise. Lastly, with the use of theoretical damping, the sound pressure …
