Understanding Intelligent Systems, Tamara Kneese Oct 2014

Understanding Intelligent Systems, Tamara Kneese

Media Studies

Science fiction has long imagined a workforce reshaped by robots, but the increasingly common instantiation of intelligent systems in business is much more mundane. Beyond the utopian and dystopian hype of increased efficiencies and job displacement, how do we understand what disruptions intelligent systems will have on the workforce?

We synthesize and study single crystals of the layered honeycomb lattice Mott insulators Na2RuO3 and Li2RuO3 with magnetic Ru4+(4d4) ions. The newly found Na2RuO3 features a nearly ideal honeycomb lattice and orders antiferromagnetically at 30 K. Single crystals of Li2RuO3 adopt a honeycomb lattice with either C2/m or more distorted P21/m below 300 K, depending on detailed synthesis conditions. We find that Li2RuO3 in both structures hosts a well-defined magnetic state, in contrast to …

Model For Ultrashort Laser-Pulse Induced Ionization Dynamics In Transparent Solids, Jeremy R. Gulley, Thomas E. Lanier Oct 2014

Model For Ultrashort Laser-Pulse Induced Ionization Dynamics In Transparent Solids, Jeremy R. Gulley, Thomas E. Lanier

Faculty Articles

A comprehensive model of ultrafast laser-induced plasma generation intended for coupling with pulse propagation simulations in transparent solids is introduced. It simultaneously accounts for the changing spectrum of a propagating ultrashort laser pulse while coupling to the evolution of the energy-resolved nonequilibrium free-carrier distribution. The presented results indicate that strong pulse chirps lead to ionization dynamics that are not captured by the standard monochromatic treatment of laser-induced plasma formation. These results have strong implications for ultrafast laser-solid applications that depend on ionization in a strong nonlinear focus.


Where Fantasy Fits: The Importance Of Being Tolkien, Richard C. West Oct 2014

Where Fantasy Fits: The Importance Of Being Tolkien, Richard C. West

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Scholar Guest of Honor speech, Mythcon 45. In his wide-ranging and conversational meditation on “Where Fantasy Fits,” the conference theme, West places Tolkien within a broad fantasy tradition but concentrates most closely on the decades preceding The Hobbit and following The Lord of the Rings, bearing out Garner Dozois’s observation that “[a]fter Tolkien, everything changed” for genre fantasy. Of particular interest is West’s discussion of science fiction works and authors appreciated by Tolkien and Lewis.


Toying With Fantasy: The Postmodern Playground Of Terry Pratchett's Discworld Novels, Daniel Luthi Oct 2014

Toying With Fantasy: The Postmodern Playground Of Terry Pratchett's Discworld Novels, Daniel Luthi

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Attempts to discover exactly how Terry Pratchett manages to get away with violating the rules of the fantasy tradition laid out in Tolkien’s “On Fairy-stories.” Pratchett consistently revels in the absurdity of Discworld as a concept, breaks the fourth wall, and disrupts Tolkien’s proviso against satirizing magic itself; and yet the Discworld sails on, imperturbable. Pratchett’s concept of narrative imperative is discussed as one of the keys to the success of his invented world.


An Energy Efficient Framework For Localization And Coverage In Participatory Urban Sensing, Adnan Khan, Sk Kajal Arefin Imon, Sajal K. Das Oct 2014

An Energy Efficient Framework For Localization And Coverage In Participatory Urban Sensing, Adnan Khan, Sk Kajal Arefin Imon, Sajal K. Das

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Participatory sensing is an approach to data collection where individuals use their smartphones to capture different scenarios, and upload to a server to create knowledge. A fundamental issue in such data collection process is the coverage of the collected data that reflects how well the targeted area is monitored. To ensure coverage requirements, the traditional approaches require the server to know the location of the participating mobile devices that takes significant amount of energy. In this paper, we propose a novel framework called PLUS for data collection in participatory sensing ensuring partial coverage, where a mobile device does not send …

Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations: Evaluation And Management., Norman Ajiboye, Nohra Chalouhi, Md, Robert M Starke, Mario Zanaty, Rodney Bell, Md

Department of Neurosurgery Faculty Papers

There has been increased detection of incidental AVMs as result of the frequent use of advanced imaging techniques. The natural history of AVM is poorly understood and its management is controversial. This review provides an overview of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, natural history, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of AVMs. The authors discussed the imaging techniques available for detecting AVMs with regard to the advantages and disadvantages of each imaging modality. Furthermore, this review paper discusses the factors that must be considered for the most appropriate management strategy (based on the current evidence in the literature) and the risks and benefits …


Cults Of Lovecraft: The Impact Of H.P. Lovecraft's Fiction On Contemporary Occult Practices, John Engle Oct 2014

Cults Of Lovecraft: The Impact Of H.P. Lovecraft's Fiction On Contemporary Occult Practices, John Engle

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Examines a particularly troubling use of fiction: the adoption of an author’s work, against his own intentions, as a quasi-religious text for cultic practices. Lovecraft’s mythos is thus observed in the process of deliberately being made into a worship tradition by occult and Satanic practitioners, in spite of the author’s personal scientific rationalism.


Analysis Of Rolled Piece Deformation In Straightening Process Using Fm-Bem, Hai-Lian Gui, Qiang Li, Yao Li, Pu Li, Qing-Xue Huang Oct 2014

Analysis Of Rolled Piece Deformation In Straightening Process Using Fm-Bem, Hai-Lian Gui, Qiang Li, Yao Li, Pu Li, Qing-Xue Huang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

Rolled piece deformation in a straightening process is regarded as an inverse problem of the plate bending problem. The straightening force was obtained accurately by applying the fast multipole boundary element method (FM-BEM) to the plate bending problem. Furthermore, the straightening process of a nine-roller straightening roller system with a variable roller distance was simulated using numerical analysis, and a function describing the neutral layer offset was obtained from an analysis of FM-BEM results. In this paper, the principle stress values and neutral layer offset of the microunits in the tension and compression regions are discussed. It is concluded that …


Response Surface Optimization Of Microwave-Assisted Sulfated Polysaccharide Extraction From Porphyra Dentate, Yeu-Pyng Lin, Shao-Chi Wu, Jean-Yu Hwang Oct 2014

Response Surface Optimization Of Microwave-Assisted Sulfated Polysaccharide Extraction From Porphyra Dentate, Yeu-Pyng Lin, Shao-Chi Wu, Jean-Yu Hwang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

An experiment was performed by adjusting the pH value (4-10) of a 10%-to-90% ethanol solution (v/v) and using it as an extraction solvent and, subsequently, using microwaveassisted extraction (MAE) to extract Porphyra denate solutions. The sulfated polysaccharides (µg/mL) of these extraction solutions were evaluated. The optimal treatments of P. denate extracts obtained using MAE were studied using response surface methodology. The study was performed using a three-level, four-factor design and aimed to determine the optimal combinations of the ethanol concentration (10%-90%, v/v, X1), pH value of an ethanol solution (4-10, X2), microwave power level (200-400 W, X3), and heating time …
