Measurement Of Conductivity And Charge Storage In Insulators Related To Spacecraftcharging, A. R. Fredrickson, John R. Dennison Jan 2003

Measurement Of Conductivity And Charge Storage In Insulators Related To Spacecraftcharging, A. R. Fredrickson, John R. Dennison

All Physics Faculty Publications

Novel methods have been developed to measure conductivity and charge storage in thin film insulating spacecraft materials subjected to space radiations. For a variety of such samples, conductivity values differ by up to 104 from values based on ASTM standards. Conductivity and charge storage properties are found to be functions of prior radiation history. A highly-charged insulator emits electrons for hours (Malter Effect) after the irradiation beam is turned off. Visible light can be used to induce emission from previously charged samples with shallow traps.

Mutual Information Based Image Registration For Remote Sensing Data, Hua-Mei Chen, Manoj K. Arora, Pramod K. Varshney Jan 2003

Mutual Information Based Image Registration For Remote Sensing Data, Hua-Mei Chen, Manoj K. Arora, Pramod K. Varshney

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship

Registration is a fundamental operation in image processing to align images taken at different times, from different sensors or from different viewing angles. Automatic image registration procedures are gaining importance to efficiently register large volumes of remote sensing data available these days. In this Letter, we investigate an automated mutual information based registration technique for remote sensing data. Performance of a number of interpolation algorithms to compute mutual information for registration of multi-sensor and multi-resolution Landsat TM, Radarsat SAR and IRS PAN images is evaluated.

Method To Their Madness: Dispelling The Myth Of Economic Rationality As A Behavioral Ideal, John Dobson Jan 2003

Method To Their Madness: Dispelling The Myth Of Economic Rationality As A Behavioral Ideal, John Dobson

Finance

Although not immediately apparent, the discipline of behavioral finance is rapidly adopting an implicit prescriptive agenda. Behavioral finance does not merely describe financial market reality, it shapes it. Economic rationality is taken as the ideal toward to which individuals 'should' strive. In this paper I show that, as a behavioral ideal, economic rationality is unjustified both from a strictly economic perspective, and from a moral perspective. In short, there is nothing inherently "wrong" with economically irrational participants in the business environment. Indeed such participants will actually enhance the efficiency, and the ethicality, of business.

A Parallel Algorithm To Solve The Mathematical Problem "Double Coset Enumeration Of S₂₄ Over M₂₄", Elena Yavorska Harris Jan 2003

A Parallel Algorithm To Solve The Mathematical Problem "Double Coset Enumeration Of S₂₄ Over M₂₄", Elena Yavorska Harris

Theses Digitization Project

This thesis presents and evaluates a new parallel algorithm that computes all single cosets in the double coset M₂₄ P M₂₄, where P is a permutation on n points of a certain cycle structure, and M₂₄ is the Mathieu group related to a Steiner system S(5, 8, 24) as its automorphism group. The purpose of this work is not to replace the existing algorithms, but rather to explore a possibility to extend calculations of single cosets beyond the limits encountered when using currently available methods.
