Comparison Of Boreal Ecosystem Model Sensitivity To Variability In Climate And Forest Site Parameters, Christopher S. Potter, Shusen Wang, Ned T. Nikolov, A D. Mcguire, Jane Liu, A W. King, John Kimball, Robert F. Grant, Steve Frolking, Joy S. Clein, Jing M. Chen, Jeffrey S. Amthor Dec 2001

Comparison Of Boreal Ecosystem Model Sensitivity To Variability In Climate And Forest Site Parameters, Christopher S. Potter, Shusen Wang, Ned T. Nikolov, A D. Mcguire, Jane Liu, A W. King, John Kimball, Robert F. Grant, Steve Frolking, Joy S. Clein, Jing M. Chen, Jeffrey S. Amthor

Earth Sciences

Ecosystem models are useful tools for evaluating environmental controls on carbon and water cycles under past or future conditions. In this paper we compare annual carbon and water fluxes from nine boreal spruce forest ecosystem models in a series of sensitivity simulations. For each comparison, a single climate driver or forest site parameter was altered in a separate sensitivity run. Driver and parameter changes were prescribed principally to be large enough to identify and isolate any major differences in model responses, while also remaining within the range of variability that the boreal forest biome may be exposed to over a …

Open Source Software: A History, David Bretthauer Dec 2001

Open Source Software: A History, David Bretthauer

Published Works

In the 30 years from 1970-2000, open source software began as an assumption without a name or a clear alternative. It has evolved into a sophisticated movement which has produced some of the most stable and widely used software packages ever produced. This paper traces the evolution of three operating systems: GNU, BSD, and Linux, as well as the communities which have evolved with these systems and some of the commonly-used software packages developed using the open source model. It also discusses some of the major figures in open source software, and defines both “free software” and “open source software.”

Justified By Faith And Judged By Works: A Biblical Paradox And Its Significance, Mark Seifrid

Other Faculty Scholarship

Within the space of two short chapters in Romans, Paul declares, “It is not the hearers of the Law who are righteous before God, rather those who do the Law shall be justified” (Rom 2:13); and, “According to our evaluation, a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the Law” (Rom 3:28).

"Ali" The Film: A Review, Richard C. Crepeau Dec 2001

"Ali" The Film: A Review, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Across the world in this century there is no other sports figure better known and more admired than Muhammad Ali. In the United States there may be no sports figure more admired and reviled in any century than Muhammad Ali. For these and other reasons the opening of the film "Ali" today is a much-anticipated event.

Genes Encoding Several Poly (Adp-Ribose) Glycohydrolase (Parg) Enzymes, The Proteins And Fragments Thereof, And Antibodies Immnoreactive Therewith, Myron Jacobson, Elaine L. Jacobson, Jean-Christoph Amé, Winston Lin Dec 2001

Genes Encoding Several Poly (Adp-Ribose) Glycohydrolase (Parg) Enzymes, The Proteins And Fragments Thereof, And Antibodies Immnoreactive Therewith, Myron Jacobson, Elaine L. Jacobson, Jean-Christoph Amé, Winston Lin

Graduate Center for Nutritional Sciences Faculty Patents

The isolation and characterization of cDNAs encoding poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) enzymes and the amino acid sequences of PARGs from several species are described. PARG is involved in the cellular response to DNA damage and its proper function is associated with the body's response to neoplastic disorder inducing agents and oxidative stress. Expression vectors containing the cDNAs and cells transformed with the vectors are described. Probes and primers that hybridize with the cDNAs are described. Expression of the cDNA in E. coli results in an enzymatically active protein of about 111 kDa and an active fragment of about 59 kDa. Methods …

Localization Of Carriers And Polarization Effects In Quaternary Alingan Multiple Quantum Wells, E. Kuokstis, J. Zhang, M.-Y. Ryu, J. W. Yang, Grigory Simin, M. Asif Khan, R. Gaska, M. S. Shur Dec 2001

Localization Of Carriers And Polarization Effects In Quaternary Alingan Multiple Quantum Wells, E. Kuokstis, J. Zhang, M.-Y. Ryu, J. W. Yang, Grigory Simin, M. Asif Khan, R. Gaska, M. S. Shur

Faculty Publications

We report on observing a long-wavelength band in low-temperature photoluminescence(PL)spectrum of quaternary Al0.22In0.02Ga0.76N/Al0.38In0.01Ga0.61N multiple quantum wells(MQWs), which were grown over sapphire substrates by a pulsed atomic-layer epitaxy technique. By comparing the excitation-power density and temperature dependence of the PLspectra of MQWs and bulk quaternary AlInGaN layers, we show this emission band to arise from the carrier and/or exciton localization at the quantum well interface disorders. PL data for other radiative transitions in MQWs indicate that excitation-dependent spectra position is determined by screening of the built-in electric field.

Redshifts And Luminosities For 112 Gamma-Ray Bursts, Bradley E. Schaefer, Ming Deng, David L. Band Dec 2001

Redshifts And Luminosities For 112 Gamma-Ray Bursts, Bradley E. Schaefer, Ming Deng, David L. Band

Faculty Publications

Two different luminosity indicators have recently been proposed for gamma-ray bursts that use gamma-ray observations alone. They relate the burst luminosity (L) with the time lag between peaks in hard and soft energies (τlag) and the spikiness or variability of the burst's light curve (V). These relations are currently justified and calibrated with only six or seven bursts with known redshifts. We have examined BATSE data for τlag and V for 112 bursts. (1) A strong correlation between τlag and V exists, and it is exactly as predicted from the two proposed relations. This is proof that both luminosity indicators …

Horses Damp The Spring In Their Step, Alan M. Wilson, M. Polly Mcguigan, Anne Su, Antonie J. Van Den Bogert Dec 2001

Horses Damp The Spring In Their Step, Alan M. Wilson, M. Polly Mcguigan, Anne Su, Antonie J. Van Den Bogert

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications

The muscular work of galloping in horses is halved by storing and returning elastic strain energy in spring-like muscle–tendon units1, 2.These make the legs act like a child's pogo stick that is tuned to stretch and recoil at 2.5 strides per second. This mechanism is optimized by unique musculoskeletal adaptations: the digital flexor muscles have extremely short fibres and significant passive properties, whereas the tendons are very long and span several joints3, 4. Length change occurs by a stretching of the spring-like digital flexor tendons rather than through energetically expensive length changes in the muscle5 …

Two-Dimensional Fast Evanescent Wave Algorithm, W. C. Chew, L. (Lijun) J. Jiang, S. Velamparambil Dec 2001

Two-Dimensional Fast Evanescent Wave Algorithm, W. C. Chew, L. (Lijun) J. Jiang, S. Velamparambil

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A new fast evanescent wave algorithm (FEWA) is introduced in the two-dimensional (2-D) case. It expands the Green's function into propagating waves and directional evanescent waves. Applying the evanescent wave correction technique, a procedure similar to the traditional MLFMA can be expedited. No buffer region is necessary anymore, and fewer translators are needed. Numerical examples are given to show the features of this method.
