The Anchor, Volume 123.08: November 4, 2009, Hope College

The Anchor: 2009

The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor's history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular.

Design And Development Of A Pvdf Sensor To Monitor Intracranial Pressure (Icp), Vivek Vijaywargi

Theses and Dissertations

Monitoring ICP non-invasively is a challenge. A novel method to measure ICP using actuators and sensors has been proposed where the skull is vibrated at high frequencies and the receiving signal is measured at the surface eyelid. A design of experiments approach is used to develop the sensor part of the ICP monitoring device so that gain can be maximized using factors such as area, thickness, electrode, and applied pressure. Statistical analysis showed that thickness has the biggest effect on overall gain. Numerical analysis confirmed these results. In addition, sensor packaging is optimized to minimize dampening of the signal and …

Damping And Decoherence Of A Nanomechanical Resonator Due To A Few Two-Level Systems, Laura G. Remus, Miles P. Blencowe, Yukihiro Tanaka

Dartmouth Scholarship

We consider a quantum model of a nanomechanical flexing beam resonator interacting with a bath comprising a few damped tunneling two-level systems. In contrast with a resonator interacting bilinearly with an ohmic free oscillator bath (modeling clamping loss, for example), the mechanical resonator damping is amplitude dependent, while the decoherence of quantum superpositions of mechanical position states depends only weakly on their spatial separation.

Information For Rural Communities: A Solution For Sustainable Development In The Niger Delta, Abraham Tabor Etebu

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Information provision for sustainable development in Africa 's rural communities is of great importance to government and their ministries. Rural communities are used to oral communication, which includes storytelling, meetings, messages through town criers, and others. Western methods of information provision, including libraries, museums, and so on, are alien to rural communities who are mainly illiterate. The Bayelsa State Gover

Coming Distractions: The Complete Fiction Of Lu Xun–A New Translation

China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012

We’re pleased to present here an excerpt from the introduction of Julia Lovell’s forthcoming translation of Lu Xun’s fiction. Lovell examines the uses (and abuses) of Lu Xun’s writings by Mao Zedong in the decades after the author’s death, pointing out the ways in which the CCP smoothed over rough edges and ignored inconvenient truths as it disseminated Lu Xun’s work for the Chinese public to study. Since the reforms of the late 1970s, Lu Xun has been transformed yet again, and now occupies a status equivalent to that of Charles Dickens in Britain: while his work might be respected, …

Bayesian Functional Data Analysis Using Winbugs, Ciprian M. Crainiceanu, A. Jeffrey Goldsmith

Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers

We provide user friendly software for Bayesian analysis of Functional Data Models using WinBUGS 1.4. The excellent properties of Bayesian analysis in this context are due to: 1) dimensionality reduction, which leads to low dimensional projection bases; 2)the mixed model representation of functional models, which provides a modular approach to model extension; and 3) the orthogonality of the principal component bases, which contributes to excellent chain convergence and mixing properties. Our paper provides one more, essential, reason for using Bayesian analysis for Functional models: the existence of software.

Thinking Outside The Black Box: Current Policies And Problems With The Fda's Highest Drug Safety Warning, Kylene Halloran

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Based on data collected from clinical trials and post-approval surveillance systems, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issues warnings to communicate increasingly dangerous and/ or preventable risks to doctors and their patients. The black box warning, the highest of all warnings issued by the FDA, emphasizes risks the FDA has deemed are critical to safe use of the drug. The warning has numerous implications for the pharmaceutical companies and physicians. The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the infrastructure of the adverse effect detection system, the effects of the Food and Drug Amendments Act (FDAAA) of 2007, and the …

Aesthetics Of The Female Breast: Correlation Of Pluralistic Evaluations With Volume And Surface Area, Yuen-Jong Liu

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The goal of cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery is to fashion symmetric breasts with aesthetically acceptable shapes. Breast shape is largely determined by volume of tissue and surface area of the skin envelope. Values for breast surface area have never been published in the literature. The investigators developed an inexpensive, non-invasive optical method to objectively measure breast volume and surface area. The aims were to validate the method, to assess the accuracy of visual inspection by plastic surgeons, to determine ideal anthropomorphic measurements, and to derive a mathematical relationship between volume and surface area for an aesthetically acceptable shape. In …

Observations Of Heterogeneous Reactions Between Asian Pollution And Mineral Dust Over The Eastern North Pacific During Intex-B, Cameron Mcnaughton, A D. Clarke, V Kapustin, Yohei Shinozuka, S G. Howell, B E. Anderson, E L. Winstead, Jack E. Dibb, Eric Scheuer, Ronald C. Cohen, Paul J. Wooldridge, A E. Perring, L Gregory Huey, S Kim, Jose L. Jimenez, E J. Dunlea, P F.

Earth Sciences

In-situ airborne measurements of trace gases, aerosol size distributions, chemistry and optical properties were conducted over Mexico and the Eastern North Pacific during MILAGRO and INTEX-B. Heterogeneous reactions between secondary aerosol precursor gases and mineral dust lead to sequestration of sulfur, nitrogen and chlorine in the supermicrometer particulate size range.

Simultaneous measurements of aerosol size distributions and weak-acid soluble calcium result in an estimate of 11 wt% of CaCO3 for Asian dust. During transport across the North Pacific, ∼5ĝ€ "30% of the CaCO3 is converted to CaSO4 or Ca(NO 3)2 with an additional ∼4% consumed through reactions with HCl. The …
