Global Ice And Land Climate Studies Using Scatterometer Image Data, David G. Long, Mark Drinkwater, Benjamin Holt, Sassan Saatchi, Cheryl Bertoia Jan 2001

Global Ice And Land Climate Studies Using Scatterometer Image Data, David G. Long, Mark Drinkwater, Benjamin Holt, Sassan Saatchi, Cheryl Bertoia

United States Department of Commerce: Staff Publications

Spaceborne scatterometers have provided continuous synoptic microwave coverage of the Earth for nearly a decade. Though these scatterometers were originally designed to measure oceanic surface winds, their data are also extremely useful in a broad range of ice and land applications, including the use of extensive scatterometer time series to determine seasonal and interannual variability and possible relationships to climate change. Under a NASA Earth Science Enterprise grant, the Scatterometer Climate Record Pathfinder (SCP) project has produced non-ocean scatterometer imagery and data products that are now publicly available for the first time (http://www.scp.byu.edu/).


Thermomechanical Behavior Of Thermoelectric Sma Actuators, Roderick V.N. Melnik, A.J. Roberts Jan 2001

Thermomechanical Behavior Of Thermoelectric Sma Actuators, Roderick V.N. Melnik, A.J. Roberts

Mathematics Faculty Publications

In this paper we analyse numerically thermomechanical behaviour of a sandwich-type actuator where a shape memory alloy layer is located between two oppositely doped semiconductors. The mathematical model for this analysis is based on a coupled system of partial differential equations with constitutive equations taken in the Falk form. The system is solved using an efficient differential-algebraic solver and computational results describing thermomechanical fields in such devices are presented.


Canonizing The Wieszcz: The Subjective Turn In Polish Literary Biography In The 1860s, Andrea Lanoux Jan 2001

Canonizing The Wieszcz: The Subjective Turn In Polish Literary Biography In The 1860s, Andrea Lanoux

Slavic Studies Faculty Publications

Part of a forum on the work of Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz. The writer examines the radical change in the presentation of poets' biographies in Polish textbooks of literature during the 1860s. She contends that this change coincided with the stabilization of a Polish romantic literary canon and involved, among other things, the subject's personal life, contributions to the national cause, and subjective experiences and feelings. This subjective turn in literary biography demonstrates the relationship between canon building and nation building, she argues, in the respect that it served to unite millions of people living under different political systems. Moreover, …

Intermediate Spin, Schrödinger Cat States, And Nanomagnets, S. E. Barnes Jan 2001

Intermediate Spin, Schrödinger Cat States, And Nanomagnets, S. E. Barnes

Physics Articles and Papers

Quantum tunneling in nanomagnets finds a natural description in terms of intermediate spin. Periodic magnetic effects correspond to a change of flux by the flux quantum Φ0. Schrödinger cat states with different superpositions of the applied magnetic field occur. The molecular magnet Fe8 is discussed and new effects are predicted for Mn12.


Managerial Information, The Basics, Floyd J. Brock, Gurpreet S. Dhillon Jan 2001

Managerial Information, The Basics, Floyd J. Brock, Gurpreet S. Dhillon

Journal of International Information Management

A problem exists in the defitiition of information, particularly in its application in management. The problem emerges from the inability of academics and practitioners alike to differentiate adequately between data and information. Our failure to comprehend the concept of information casts doubt on the efficacy of analyses and development of information systems. As evidenced in the literature and surveys, this paper presents a collection of differing emphases in definitions of information. It then sifts for the basics and proposes a definition of managerial information.

Group Closures Of One-To-One Transformations, Inessa Levi Jan 2001

Group Closures Of One-To-One Transformations, Inessa Levi

Faculty Bibliography

For a semigroup 5 of transformations of an infinite set X let Gs be the group of all the permutations of X that preserve 5 under conjugation. Fix a permutation group H on X and a transformation / of X, and let (/ : H) = ({hfh~l : h 6 H}) be the //-closure of /. We find necessary and sufficient conditions on a one-to-one transformation / and a normal subgroup H of the symmetric group on X to satisfy G(f-.H) = H. We also show that if S is a semigroup of one-to-one transformations of X and Gs contains …


Rank-One Perturbations Of Diagonal Operators., Eugen J. Ionascu Jan 2001

Rank-One Perturbations Of Diagonal Operators., Eugen J. Ionascu

Faculty Bibliography

We study rank-one perturbations of diagonal Hilbert space operators mainly from the standpoint of invariant subspace problem. In addition to proving some general properties of these operators, we identify the normal operators and contractions in this class. We show that two well known results about the eigenvalues of rank-one perturbations and one-codimension compressions of self-adjoint compact operators are equivalent. Sufficient conditions are given for existence of nontrivial invariant subspaces for this class of operators.


Students' Concepts In Understanding Of Sound, Zdeslav Hrepic Jan 2001

Students' Concepts In Understanding Of Sound, Zdeslav Hrepic

Faculty Bibliography

The article describes alternative concepts in understanding of sound observed among students at the elementary, high school and college level. The research confirmed some previously found alternative concepts and pointed to several others. A majority of the difficulties were found to be common to all levels. Also the percentage of students, who express alternative concepts, is nearly the same at all educational levels. However the percentage of students who clearly don’t have alternative concepts, in general increases with educational level. One set of observed difficulties, as a whole, compose conceptually structured and coherent, but naive picture on propagation of sound. …

Building An Interactive, Three-Dimensional Virtual World, Raymond Mazza Jan 2001

Building An Interactive, Three-Dimensional Virtual World, Raymond Mazza

Senior Scholar Papers

The movement of graphics and audio programming towards three dimensions is to better simulate the way we experience our world. In this project I looked to use methods for coming closer to such simulation via realistic graphics and sound combined with a natural interface. I did most of my work on a Dell OptiPlex with an 800 MHz Pentium III processor and an NVIDlA GeForce 256 AGP Plus graphics accelerator -high end products in the consumer market as of April 2000. For graphics, I used OpenGL [1], an open·source, multi-platform set of graphics libraries that is relatively easy to use, …

Land Use Patterns In Relation To Lake Water Quality In The Lake George And Oaks Pond Watersheds, Problems In Environmental Science Course (Biology 493), Colby College, Colby Environmental Assessment Team, Colby College

Colby College Watershed Study: Other Area Studies

There has always been an inexplicable wonder associated with the beauty of Maine lakes. In addition to their aesthetic value, lakes and ponds provide important habitats for aquatic and terrestrial wildlife. The attraction of the lake's natural beauty, however, can increase recreational pressures that may lead to human induced eutrophication. Lake George and Oaks Pond were chosen as the Colby Environmental Assessment Team's (CEAT) study sites due to the concern about potential human induced eutrophication of both water bodies. Lake George and Oaks Pond are situated in southern Somerset County, Maine, and experience heavy recreational and developmental uses. Neither water …


Managing Punitive Damages: A Role For Mandatory "Limited Generosity" Classes And Anti-Suit Injunctions?, Joan E. Steinman Jan 2001

Managing Punitive Damages: A Role For Mandatory "Limited Generosity" Classes And Anti-Suit Injunctions?, Joan E. Steinman

All Faculty Scholarship

In this Article, I consider whether "limited generosity" classes may be used to determine a defendant's entire liability for punitive damages arising from a defined course of conduct. The goals of such a class action would include adequately punishing and deterring the defendant, keeping the defendant's liability within state-mandated and constitutional limits, and facilitating equitable distribution of the damages among injured plaintiffs. The Article describes the legal limits on punitive damages liability that states have established and that the Supreme Court has held substantive due process to impose, and then carefully examines whether such limits constitute a predicate for mandatory …
