Fluid Dynamics Of Flapping Aquatic Flight In The Bird Wrasse: Three-Dimensional Unsteady Computations With Fin Deformation, Ravi Ramamurti, William C. Sandberg, Rainald Lӧhner, Jeffrey A. Walker, Mark W. Westneat

Biology

Many fishes that swim with the paired pectoral fins use fin-stroke parameters that produce thrust force from lift in a mechanism of underwater flight. These locomotor mechanisms are of interest to behavioral biologists, biomechanics researchers and engineers. In the. present study, we performed the first three-dimensional unsteady computations of fish swimming with oscillating and deforming fins. The objective of these computations was to investigate the fluid dynamics of force production associated with the flapping aquatic flight of the bird wrasse Gomphosus varius. For this computational work, we used the geometry of the wrasse and its pectoral fin, and previously measured …

Content Analysis In Mass Communication: Assessment And Reporting Of Intercoder Reliability, Matthew Lombard, Jennifer Snyder-Duch, Cheryl C. Bracken

Communication Faculty Publications

As a method specifically intended for the study of messages, content analysis is fundamental to mass communication research. Intercoder reliability, more specifically termed intercoder agreement, is a measure of the extent to which independent judges make the same coding decisions in evaluating the characteristics of messages, and is at the heart of this method. Yet there are few standard and accessible guidelines available regarding the appropriate procedures to use to assess and report intercoder reliability, or software tools to calculate it. As a result, it seems likely that there is little consistency in how this critical element of content analysis …

Flarr Pages #29: Writing At The Intermediate And Advanced Levels, Andre Lebugle

FLARR Pages

Writing in a foreign language is a demanding task, and students should therefore be thoroughly prepared for it. They may be given vocabulary and expressions to study in advance, . but this is of limited usefulness. Reading a story on which their narrations will focus will reap more benefits. Since language learning is based on imitation, reading is a prerequisite to writing.

Texas Family Code Section 263.401: Improving The Mandatory Dismissal Deadline To Be Truly In The Best Interest Of The Child, Sherry A. Hess

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

The Texas Legislature should make further amendments to Chapter 263 to allow an additional extension when parents receive inpatient treatment for substance abuse and implement a deadline for overturned cases remanded on appeal. Part II provides background information helpful in understanding the significance of the mandatory dismissal deadline. Part III reviews the development of the twelvemonth deadline and discusses the original enactment of section 263.401 and the issues surrounding its interpretation. In Part IV, this Comment explains and analyzes the recent amendments affecting section 263.401. In conclusion, this Comment acknowledges the success of the mandatory dismissal date and recommends that …

Has International Financial Integration Increased?, Lawrence G. Goldberg, James R. Lothian, John Okunev

CRIF Working Paper series

This paper compares the behavior of real interest rate differentials across the major countries under the Bretton Woods regime and the regime of floating exchanges that replaced it. The primary object is to investigate both the extent of market integration and its changes over time. For all fifteen possible country pairs real interest differentials are mean reverting, and in two-thirds of these cases indistinguishable from zero statistically. For all country pairs on average and for most such pairs individually, moreover, the estimated differentials are not appreciably different in absolute value than the differentials that we estimate for various money-market rates …

Wavelet Formulation Of Path Integral Monte Carlo, Art E. Cho, J. D. Doll, David L. Freeman

Chemistry Faculty Publications

A wavelet formulation of path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC)is constructed. Comparison with Fourier path integral Monte Carlo is presented using simple one-dimensional examples. Wavelet path integral Monte Carlo exhibits a few advantages over previous methods for PIMC. The efficiency of the current method is at least comparable to other techniques.

Toward Reparations Policy In Ghana A Study Of The Reparations Movement In Ghana, West Africa., Elizabeth Whittaker

African Diaspora ISPs

Ghana has a history of being an impetus for Pan-African change. However, the reparations movement that recently gained international attention at the United Nations World Conference Against Racism does not yet have an organized mass-base of consensus of awareness in Ghana. While many people agree that the slave trade and colonialism have contributed to Ghana's problems of poverty, unemployment, and limited educational resources, few have associated these needs with the term "reparations".
