Carneades' Pithanon And Its Relation To Epoche And Apraxia, Suzanne Obdrzalek Dec 2002

Carneades' Pithanon And Its Relation To Epoche And Apraxia, Suzanne Obdrzalek

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Though the interpretation of ancient texts is notoriously difficult, Cameades presents what one might call a worst-case scenario. In the first place, he wrote nothing. His faithful disciple Clitomachus, attempting to play Plato to Cameades' Socrates, reportedly recorded Cameades' teachings in four hundred books. Not one remains. However, Clitomachus' attempt to make a philosophy of Cameades' anti-theoretical stance was not a complete failure; Cameades had a tremendous influence on the later Academy as well as the Stoa, and his views (or lack thereof) have been handed down to us by both Sextus Empiricus and Cicero. These sources are, nonetheless, problematic. …


The Design Of Reliable Protocols For Wireless Traffic Signal System, Qingfeng Huang, Ronald Miller Dec 2002

The Design Of Reliable Protocols For Wireless Traffic Signal System, Qingfeng Huang, Ronald Miller

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

Electronic traffic signal has the advantage of being easily visible to machines. It is expected to augment the traditional traffic light system in future intelligent transportation environments, where intelligent vehicles interact with each other and with traffic systems and give informed advisories to drivers. One problem with wireless signals is that they are essentially omnidirectional. Even if one uses directional wireless signaling source, it is not clear how any recipient of a signal can reliably determine whether the signal is meant for him or her, in the presence of signal reflections. In this paper, we present a basic electronic traffic …


Perturbative Calculation Of The Triply Differential Cross Section For Photo-Double-Ionization Of He, Andrei Y. Istomin, N. L. Manakov, Anthony F. Starace Dec 2002

Perturbative Calculation Of The Triply Differential Cross Section For Photo-Double-Ionization Of He, Andrei Y. Istomin, N. L. Manakov, Anthony F. Starace

Anthony F. Starace Publications

Single-photon, two-electron ionization of He is analyzed, taking into account electron correlation using lowest-order perturbation theory and including all individual electron angular momenta in the final two-electron continuum. Perturbative account of electron correlation in the final state, which describes the so-called TS-1 mechanism of double photoionization, combined with a variational account of electron screening, is found to provide results for the triply differential cross section at an excess energy of 20 eV that are in excellent agreement with both absolute experimental data and results of non-perturbative calculations, for all kinematics of the process in which the TS-1 mechanism is expected …


Pigeon-Holing Monodromy Groups, Niles G. Johnson Dec 2002

Pigeon-Holing Monodromy Groups, Niles G. Johnson

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

A simple tiling on a sphere can be used to construct a tiling on a d-fold branched cover of the sphere. By lifting a so-called equatorial tiling on the sphere, the lifted tiling is locally kaleidoscopic, yielding an attractive tiling on the surface. This construction is via a correspondence between loops around vertices on the sphere and paths across tiles on the cover. The branched cover and lifted tiling give rise to an associated monodromy group in the symmetric group on d symbols. This monodromy group provides a beautiful connection between the cover and its base space. Our investigation …

Electrostatic Particle Separation System, Apparatus, And Related Method, John M. Stencel, John L. Schaefer, James K. Neathery, Heng Ban, Dennis Finseth Dec 2002

Electrostatic Particle Separation System, Apparatus, And Related Method, John M. Stencel, John L. Schaefer, James K. Neathery, Heng Ban, Dennis Finseth

Center for Applied Energy Research Faculty Patents

An electrostatic separation apparatus or system is provided for separating a particle mixture into two constituent species. The system includes a distributor for differentially tribocharging the particle species forming the mixture and supplying the charged mixture to a plurality of electrostatic separation cells. Each cell includes at least one separator having an inlet, a separation chamber having an electric field zone for drawing selected charged particles from the particle mixture, a collector, and a transition outlet. The length of the electric field zone is selectively adjustable for varying the charged particle drawing action. A curtain gas flow introduced into the …

Identifying The Burdens And Opportunities For Tribes And Communities In Federal Facility Cleanup Activities: Environmental Remediation Technology Assessment Matrix For Tribal And Community Decision-Makers, International Institute For Indigenous Resource Management, Inc. (Iiirm), Mervyn L. Tano, Jeanne M. Rubin, Kacey C. Denham Dec 2002

Identifying The Burdens And Opportunities For Tribes And Communities In Federal Facility Cleanup Activities: Environmental Remediation Technology Assessment Matrix For Tribal And Community Decision-Makers, International Institute For Indigenous Resource Management, Inc. (Iiirm), Mervyn L. Tano, Jeanne M. Rubin, Kacey C. Denham

International Institute for Indigenous Resource Management, Inc. (IIIRM)

The cleanup of this country’s federal facilities can affect a wide range of tribal and community interests and concerns. The technologies now in use, or being proposed by the Department of Energy, Department of Defense and other federal agencies can affect tribal treaty protected fishing, hunting and other rights, affect air and water quality thereby requiring the tribe to bear the burden of increased environmental regulation. The International Institute for Indigenous Resource Management developed a tribal and community decision-maker’s Environmental Remediation Technology Assessment Matrix that will permit tribes and communities to array technical information about environmental remediation technologies against a …

A Planet At 5 Au Around 55 Cancri, Geoffrey W. Marcy, R. Paul Butler, Debra A. Fischer, Greg Laughlin, Steve S. Vogt, Gregory W. Henry, Dimitri Pourbaix Dec 2002

A Planet At 5 Au Around 55 Cancri, Geoffrey W. Marcy, R. Paul Butler, Debra A. Fischer, Greg Laughlin, Steve S. Vogt, Gregory W. Henry, Dimitri Pourbaix

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications

We report precise Doppler-shift measurements of 55 Cancri (G8 V) obtained from 1989 to 2002 at Lick Observatory. The velocities reveal evidence for an outer planetary companion to 55 Cancri orbiting at 5.5 AU. The velocities also confirm a second, inner planet at 0.11 AU. The outer planet is the first extrasolar planet found that orbits near or beyond the orbit of Jupiter. It was drawn from a sample of ~50 stars observed with sufficient duration and quality to detect a giant planet at 5 AU, implying that such planets are not rare. The properties of this Jupiter analog may …


Chaotic Free-Space Laser Communication Over Turbulent Channel, N. F. Rulkov, Mikhail Vorontsov, L. Illing Dec 2002

Chaotic Free-Space Laser Communication Over Turbulent Channel, N. F. Rulkov, Mikhail Vorontsov, L. Illing

Electro-Optics and Photonics Faculty Publications

The dynamics of errors caused by atmospheric turbulence in a self-synchronizing chaos-based communication system that stably transmits information over a ∼5  km free-space laser link is studied experimentally. Binary information is transmitted using a chaotic sequence of short-term pulses as a carrier. The information signal slightly shifts the chaotic time position of each pulse depending on the information bit. We report the results of an experimental analysis of the atmospheric turbulence in the channel and the impact of turbulence on the bit-error-rate performance of this chaos-based communication system.
