Optically Thick Clumps – Not The Solution To The Wolf-Rayet Wind Momentum Problem?, J. Brown, J. Cassinelli, Q. Li, A. Kholtygin, Richard Ignace

ETSU Faculty Works

The hot star wind momentum problem eta = M-upsiloninfinity/(L/c) much greater than 1 is revisited, and it is shown that the conventional belief, that it can be solved by a combination of clumping of the wind and multiple scattering of photons, is not self-consistent for optically thick clumps. Clumping does reduce the mass loss rate. M, and hence the momentum supply, required to generate a specified radio emission measure epsilon, while multiple scattering increases the delivery of momentum from a specified stellar luminosity L. However, in the case of thick clumps, when combined the two effects act in opposition rather …

Deadline Analysis Of Interrupt-Driven Software, Dennis Brylow, Jens Palsberg

Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications

Real-time, reactive, and embedded systems are increasingly used throughout society (e.g., flight control, railway signaling, vehicle management, medical devices, and many others). For real-time, interrupt-driven software, timely interrupt handling is part of correctness. It is vital for software verification in such systems to check that all specified deadlines for interrupt handling are met. Such verification is a daunting task because of the large number of different possible interrupt arrival scenarios. For example, for a Z86-based microcontroller, there can be up to six interrupt sources and each interrupt can arrive during any clock cycle. Verification of such systems has traditionally relied …

Of Parts And Wholes: Self-Similarity And Synecdoche In Science, Culture And Literature, Dirk Vanderbeke

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[Editors' Introduction]

The discussion here centers on how self-similarity, or parts resembling a whole, has been a recurring aspect in the most diverse fields of human thinking from antiquity to the present. Primary examples are drawn from physics, biology, cybernetics, alchemy, philosophy, myth and, of course, language and literature. The author argues that self-similar patterns are one of the persistent ways in which the human mind structures its experience and knowledge of the world, and then examines some of the questions that arise when an almost ubiquitous concept, structure or linguistic and literary phenomenon resurfaces in a new guise in …

Developing A Web Analytics Strategy For The National Science Digital Library, Casey Jones, Sarah Giersch, Tamara Sumner, Michael Wright, Anita Coleman, Laura Bartolo

Faculty Publications

In August 2004, a two-day workshop was held on "Developing a Web Analytics Strategy for the National Science Digital Library (NSDL)". The workshop was sponsored by the NSDL Educational Impact and Evaluation Standing Committee (EIESC) and was jointly organized with the NSDL Technology Standing Committee (TSC). It brought together 26 representatives from government and industry, as well as some of the projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) NSDL program, to discuss how web metrics could be implemented in a pilot study to identify current NSDL use and develop strategies to support the collection of usage data across NSDL …

Reducing Nutrient Discharge From Agriculture Through The Implementation Of Bmps – How Far Can We Go?, David Weaver, Simon Neville, Robert Summers, Martin Clarke

Conference papers and presentations

Algal blooms in south west Western Australia are a symptomatic response to excess nutrient input. Whilst a range of Best Management Practices (BMPs) are available to address the causes of nutrient pollution, most investment has been directed towards symptoms. In order to treat nutrient pollution causes effectively it is important to evaluate possible nutrient reductions and costs, and to determine whether accrued benefits can influence BMP adoption. Models were developed for catchments near Albany (south coast of Western Australia), and for the Peel-Harvey catchment (70 km south of Perth) to estimate costs and benefits of implementing conventional BMPs in scenarios …

The Impact Of Providing Teachers With Collaboration Time, During The School Day, On Student Achievement, Onofrio Francis Monachino Iii

Theses

Because many forms of professional development require teachers and others to work together (e.g., participation in formal mentoring programs and networking with teachers in other schools), skill building in collaboration is often the prescribed approach. Skills in working with others are especially important if the aim of professional development is change (Guskey, 1995). This ethnographic study examines the effect on student achievement by providing teachers with collaboration time during the school day. The study was conducted at a rural middle school. In order for student achievement to improve, schools must search for innovative methods. By restructuring the school day, this …

Simultaneous Measurement Of Middle-Ear Input Impedance And Forward/Reverse Transmission In Cat, Susan E. Voss, Christopher A. Shera

Engineering: Faculty Publications

Reported here is a technique for measuring forward and reverse middle-ear transmission that exploits distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) to drive the middle ear "in reverse" without opening the inner ear. The technique allows measurement of DPOAEs, middle-ear input impedance, and forward and reverse middle-ear transfer functions in the same animal. Intermodulation distortion in the cochlea generates a DPOAE at frequency 2f1-f 2 measurable in both ear-canal pressure and the velocity of the stapes. The forward transfer function is computed from stapes velocities and corresponding ear-canal pressures measured at the two primary frequencies; the reverse transfer function is computed from velocity …

Sequential Interferometric Techniques For Measuring Independent Values Of The Refractive Index And Material Thickness Of Semiconductor Wafers, Glen D. Gillen, Shekhar Guha

Physics

A technique is presented using both Michelson and Fabry-Perot interferometry to independently measure the refractive index and the material thickness of semiconductor wafers. The method does not require accurate prior knowledge of either quantity.

Fresh Water Supply Enhancement Through Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting For West Bank Rural Communities, Hani Iwhish

Water Resources Professional Project Reports

The West Bank region has long faced water shortages, and recent drought has amplified the problem. Disruptions due to political conflicts have reduced the frequency, reliability, and quality of water delivered by truck. These disruptions also increase the cost of water and limit income. Almost a third of people have no access to the existing water network, because they live beyond the reach of existing pipelines and cannot legally drill new wells. About a sixth of all households have some form of rooftop harvesting system, connected to a cistern, but these systems are often cracked, dirty, and contaminated. This paper …

Interactive Volume Illustration Using Wang Cubes, Aidong Lu, David S. Ebert, Wei Qiao, Martin Kraus, Benjamin Mora

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

To create a new, exible system for volume illustration, we have explored the use of Wang Cubes, the 3D extension of 2D Wang Tiles. We use small sets of Wang Cubes to generate a large variety of non-periodic illustrative 3D patterns and textures, and we develop a direct volume rendering framework with these cubes. With the generated patterns and textures, our framework can be used to render volume datasets effectively and a variety of rendering styles can be achieved with less storage. Specifically, we extend the non-periodic tiling process of Wang Tiles to Wang Cubes and modify it for multi-purpose …

Fish Assemblage Stability Over Fifty Years In The Lake Pontchartrain Estuary; Comparisons Among Habitats Using Canonical Correspondence Analysis, Martin O'Connell, Robert Cashner, Christopher Schieble

Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty Publications

We assessed fish assemblage stability over the last half century in Lake Pontchartrain, an environmentally degraded oligohaline estuary in southeastern Louisiana. Because assemblage instability over time has been consistently associated with severe habitat degradation, we attempted to determine whether fish assemblages in demersal, nearshore, and pelagic habitats exhibited change that was unrelated to natural fluctuations in environmental variables (e.g., assemblage changes between wet and dry periods). Collection data from three gear types (trawl, beach seine, and gill nets) and monthly environmental data (salinity, temperature, and Secchi depth) were compared for four collecting periods: 1954 (dry period), 1978 (wet period), 1996–1998 …
