Kant And Feminism, Kurt Mosser Jan 1999

Kant And Feminism, Kurt Mosser

Philosophy Faculty Publications

The juxtaposition of Kant's name with "feminism" seems almost designed to invite scorn and indignation. As we will soon see, throughout his career Kant made a variety of noxious and distasteful comments about women. As we will also see, Kant has been regarded, with Descartes, as the philosopher chiefly responsible for providing modern Western philosophy with a picture of reason that has been employed in a variety of ways oppressive to women. Yet the reader of Kant's works in practical philosophy, specifically the Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals and the Critique of Practical Reason, could very well harbor a …

Reconciled Platoon Accommodations At Traffic Signals, Jay Wasson, Montasir Abbas, Darcy M. Bullock, Avery Rhodes, Chong Kang Zhu Jan 1999

Reconciled Platoon Accommodations At Traffic Signals, Jay Wasson, Montasir Abbas, Darcy M. Bullock, Avery Rhodes, Chong Kang Zhu

JTRP Technical Reports

The use of microprocessor-based traffic signal controllers introduced in the 1960s has allowed for the development of many new strategies to make traffic signal systems more responsive to traffic conditions. Many efforts have focused on the development of real-time, adaptive control strategies. While some of these strategies have been shown to improve intersection performance, there are several factors that have limited their deployment. Some of these include substantial capital cost, complicated calibration procedures, and the reluctance of practicing engineers to deploy strategies radically different from those currently in use. Therefore, lower cost strategies that are compatible with existing infrastructure continue …

Sustainable Development: A Five-Dimensional Algorithm For Environmental Law, J.B. Ruhl Jan 1999

Sustainable Development: A Five-Dimensional Algorithm For Environmental Law, J.B. Ruhl

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

This article describes sustainable development as involving five dimensions: environment, economy, equity, time, and space (or scale). I suggest that the complexity inherent in balancing these five dimensions demand algorithmic approaches like those being explored in complex adaptive systems theory.

On The Chaotic Evolution Of Baroclinic Instability Of Wave-Wave Interactions With Topography, John Kroll Jan 1999

On The Chaotic Evolution Of Baroclinic Instability Of Wave-Wave Interactions With Topography, John Kroll

Journal of Marine Research

De Szoeke (1986) developed an asymptotic solution for the nonlinear evolution of a type of baroclinic instability of a two-layer quasi-geostrophic model over topography. He found that under certain conditions pairs of hybrid modes interacting with topography could become unstable in the linearized model. He also found that the addition of the nonlinearity stabilized the flow which he analyzed using an expansion in small ε, a measure of the topographic height. This work is extended and modified by first considering a slightly varying mean flow (time dependent parametric forcing) which produces chaotic behavior, and then considering friction which allows chaos …

On The Predictability Of Regional Oceanic Jet Stream: The Impact Of Model Errors At The Inflow Boundary, Shi Jiang, Paola Malanotte-Rizzoli Jan 1999

On The Predictability Of Regional Oceanic Jet Stream: The Impact Of Model Errors At The Inflow Boundary, Shi Jiang, Paola Malanotte-Rizzoli

Journal of Marine Research

When a jet is simulated in a fine-resolution regional model with inflow and outflow boundaries, its dynamical behavior depends crucially on the specified inflow boundary condition (IBC). Our primary goals are (1) to explore the model's ability to simulate the jet when the IBC is approximately known, (2) to examine the dynamical propagation and growth of the IBC errors in both space and time, and (3) to assess the relative usefulness of different types of data used to specify the IBC. This paper represents the results of an ensemble of 30 IBC-perturbed experiments derived from the Semi-Spectral Primitive Equation Model …

Strange Encounters Of Eddies With Walls, Doron Nof Jan 1999

Strange Encounters Of Eddies With Walls, Doron Nof

Journal of Marine Research

The impingement of a westward drifting lens-like anticyclonic ring on a meridional boundary is examined analytically and numerically using an (inviscid) layer-and-a-half model. A nonlinear analytical solution is constructed with the aid of a slowly varying perturbation expansion and numerical simulations are performed with the Bleck and Boudra model. It is found that, in contrast to conventional wisdom which implies that an anticyclonic ring encountering a wall moves poleward due to the image effect, the ring stays roughly in a fixed latitude. As it slowly moves into the wall due to β, it gradually leaks fluid toward the equator until …

Lattice Boltzmann Solutions Of The Three-Dimensional Planetary Geostrophic Equations, Rick Salmon Jan 1999

Lattice Boltzmann Solutions Of The Three-Dimensional Planetary Geostrophic Equations, Rick Salmon

Journal of Marine Research

We use the lattice Boltzmann method as the basis for a three-dimensional, numerical ocean circulation model in a rectangular basin. The fundamental dynamical variables are the populations of mass- and buoyancy-particles with prescribed discrete velocities. The particles obey collision rules that correspond, on the macroscopic scale, to planetary geostrophic dynamics. The advantages of the model are simplicity, stability, and massively parallel construction. By the special nature of its construction, the lattice Boltzmann model resolves upwelling boundary layers and unsteady convection. Solutions of the model show many of the features predicted by ocean circulation theories.

Redevelopment Strategies For The Usx/Cement Plant Site In Duluth, Minnesota,, Kirstin Toth, Donald T. Iannone

All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications

In May 1999, the Great Lakes Environmental Finance Center (GLEFC) conducted a strategy-building workshop in Duluth, Minnesota. The purpose of the workshop was to assist the City of Duluth in its efforts to develop actions leading to the successful redevelopment of the USX/Cement Plant site. Particular emphasis was placed on financing strategies pertinent to properties with a history of environmental contamination, often characterized as brownfields. Due to its long history as an industrial site, the 65-acre Cement Plant had its share of perceived environmental contamination, as well as real contaminants detected during previous site assessments and a current Phase I …

Functional Analysis: Deriving Systems Knowledge From Bibliographic Information Resources, R. Watts, A. Porter, Cherie C. Trumbach Jan 1999

Functional Analysis: Deriving Systems Knowledge From Bibliographic Information Resources, R. Watts, A. Porter, Cherie C. Trumbach

Management Faculty Publications

Analyses of particular technology developments provide vital managerial intelligence. Framing of such analyses is key to maximize their managerial value. This paper presents a case analysis of automotive fuel efficiency technologies, posed as a functional analysis, rather than as a technology analysis. This functional perspective provides a systems frame of reference, yielding enhanced managerial knowledge. The case illustrates the use of bibliometric methods to glean systems intelligence from large abstract databases.

Modeling And Simulating Chemical Weapon Dispersal Patterns In Dirsig, Peter Arnold Jan 1999

Modeling And Simulating Chemical Weapon Dispersal Patterns In Dirsig, Peter Arnold

Theses

Fieldable thermal infrared hyperspectral imaging spectrometers have made it possible to design and construct new instruments for better detection of battlefield hazards such as chemical weapon clouds. The availability of spectroscopic measurements of these clouds can be used not only for the detection and identification of specific chemical agents but also to potentially quantify the lethality of the cloud. The simulation of chemical weapon dispersal patterns in a synthetic imaging environment offers significant benefits to sensor designers. Such an environment allows designers to easily develop trade spaces to test detection and quantification algorithms without the need for expensive and dangerous …
