Geometric Patterns And The Interpretation Of Meaning: Two Monuments In Iran, Carol Bier Jan 2002

Geometric Patterns And The Interpretation Of Meaning: Two Monuments In Iran, Carol Bier

Textile Research Works

The Alhambra has often served in the West as the paradigm for understanding geometric pattern in Islamic art. Constructed in Spain in the 13th century as a highly defended palace, it is a relatively late manifestation of an Islamic fascination with geometric pattern. Numerous earlier Islamic buildings, from Spain to India, exhibit extensive geometric patterning, which substantiate a mathematical interest in the spatial dimension and its manifold potential for meaning. This paper examines two monuments on the Iranian plateau, dating from the 11 th century of our era, in which more than one hundred exterior surface areas have received patterns …

Intrinsic Knotting And Linking Of Complete Graphs, Erica Flapan Jan 2002

Intrinsic Knotting And Linking Of Complete Graphs, Erica Flapan

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

We show that for every m∈N, there exists an n∈N such that every embedding of the complete graph Kn in R3 contains a link of two components whose linking number is at least m. Furthermore, there exists an r∈N such that every embedding of Kr in R3 contains a knot Q with |a2(Q)| ≥ m, where a2(Q) denotes the second coefficient of the Conway polynomial of Q.

Macrohabitat Composition Surrounding Successful And Depredated Northern Bobwhite Nests, Eric L. Staller, William E. Palmer, John P. Carroll Jan 2002

Macrohabitat Composition Surrounding Successful And Depredated Northern Bobwhite Nests, Eric L. Staller, William E. Palmer, John P. Carroll

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

Relationships among macrohabitat and depredation of northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) nests are poorly understood. Yet, macrohabitat composition may influence the nest predator community and, therefore, the vulnerability of northern bobwhite nests to depredation. We determined if macrohabitat composition surrounding bobwhite nests influenced nest placement, nest success, and which predators were responsible for depredating nests. We characterized macrohabitats at 2 scales, 8 and 16 ha, by surrounding both bobwhite nests, and an equal number of random locations, with a circular buffer. Random points were placed within the area used by bobwhites on our study area. We then determined the …

American Woodcock Population Status, 2002, James R. Kelley Jr. Jan 2002

American Woodcock Population Status, 2002, James R. Kelley Jr.

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Singing-ground and Wing-collection surveys were conducted to assess the population status of the American woodcock (Scolopax minor). Singing-ground Survey data indicated that the number of displaying woodcock in the Eastern Region was 1.3% lower than in 2001, but this decrease was non-significant (P>0.1). In the Central Region, there was a 7.9% decrease in the number of woodcock heard displaying compared to 2001 levels, but this decrease also was nonsignificant (P>0.1). Trends from the Singing-ground Survey during 1992-02 were –2.1 and –1.5% per year for the Eastern and Central regions, respectively (P<0.01). There were long-term (1968-02) declines (P<0.01) of 2.3% per year in the Eastern Region and 1.6% per year in the Central Region. The 2001 recruitment index for the Eastern Region (1.4 immatures per adult female) was the same as the 2000 index, but was 18% below the long-term regional average. The 2001 recruitment index for the Central Region (1.3 immatures per adult female) was slightly higher than the 2000 index (1.2 immatures per adult female), but was 23% below the long-term regional average of 1.7. The index of daily hunting success in the Eastern Region was 2.0 woodcock per successful hunt in both 2000 and 2001, and seasonal hunting success was 8.7 woodcock per successful hunter in both years. In the Central Region, the daily success index increased slightly from 2.0 woodcock per successful hunt in 2000 to 2.1 in 2001; but seasonal hunting success decreased from 10.7 to 10.5 woodcock per successful hunter.

Adaptive Harvest Management: 2002 Duck Hunting Season Jan 2002

Adaptive Harvest Management: 2002 Duck Hunting Season

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

The process of setting waterfowl hunting regulations is conducted annually in the United States. This process involves a number of meetings where the status of waterfowl is reviewed by the agencies responsible for setting hunting regulations. In addition, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) publishes proposed regulations in the Federal Register to allow public comment. This document is part of a series of reports intended to support development of harvest regulations for the 2002 hunting season. Specifically, this report is intended to provide waterfowl managers and the public with information about the use of adaptive harvest management (AHM) for …

Was There Satan's Face In The World Trade Center Fire? A Geometric Analysis, Vladik Kreinovich, Dima Iourinski Jan 2002

Was There Satan's Face In The World Trade Center Fire? A Geometric Analysis, Vladik Kreinovich, Dima Iourinski

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

Some photos of the 2001 World Trade Center fire reveal a "face" in the smoke which was interpreted, by some people, as the face of Satan. Most journalists believe, however, that the visible smoke configuration can be explained by natural processes, and that the visible "face" is similar to animal shapes that are sometimes observed in the clouds. In this paper, we present a simple geometric analysis that supports this natural-process explanation.

Computational Complexity Of Planning With Discrete Time And Continuous State Variables, Chitta Baral, Vladik Kreinovich Jan 2002

Computational Complexity Of Planning With Discrete Time And Continuous State Variables, Chitta Baral, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

Traditionally, most planning research in AI was concentrated on systems whose state can be characterized by discrete-valued fluents. In many practical applications, however, we want to control systems (like robots) whose state can only be described if we used continuous variables (like coordinates). Planning for such systems corresponds, crudely speaking, to Level 2 of the planing language PDDL2.1. In this paper, we analyze the computational complexity of such planning problems.

Gender Equity And Computer Use, Raymond Rubalcava Jan 2002

Gender Equity And Computer Use, Raymond Rubalcava

Theses Digitization Project

The literature review shows that gender inequality in computer use exists today. The inequality begins at birth with society giving boys and girl's roles that they have to play. One possible solution to gender inequality in computer use is to put a gender equity program in place at public schools. Such a program would have to be woven into teaching practices and school activities to strengthen girls' confidence and their ability to achieve in computers.
