Circuit Bodging: Laser Tripwire Sensor
No full textOne very important application of electrical engineering is security systems. Although fear of a Big Brother style continuous surveillance system might be justified in some places, we would once again like to remind you that technology can be used for Good as well as Evil. In this issue of Maxwell we present: a laser tripwire. It’s been done in the movies, and now it’s been done in Maxwell.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Discretisation of Maxwell-Bloch dynamical systems
No full textWe investigate the smallest possible physically meaningful RMB model, which models propagation through a thin slab of resonant atomic material placed in a recirculating cavity, which has 2 degrees of freedom in the spatial distribution of the field . The model may be used to determine the stationary states of the cavity field, which are then subjected to stability analysis
Circuit Bodging: Atari Punk Console
No full textCircuit bodging is back! Maxwell is proud to present small, simple, but ultimately lovable little circuits to build for your own, personal pleasure. In this edition we are featuring: The Atari Punk Console. The Atari Punk Console (or APC) is a 555 timer IC based noise maker circuit. The original was designed by Forrest M. Mims III, and published in his book “Engineer’s Mini-Notebook - 555 Circuits” (Siliconcepts, 1984). It uses two 555 timers to create a variable pulse width oscillator with a similar sound to the infamous Atari 2600.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
The Ultimate Science Project
No full textThere are six people in space as you read these words. Let that sink in for a moment. Six human beings are zipping around the planet once every 90 minutes, pushing back the boundaries of scientific knowledge and experience. They are, of course, on the International Space Station - a project involving 16 nations: The USA, Canada, Japan, Russia, Brazil, and the 11 nations of the European Space Agency. To learn more, Maxwell paid a visit to ESA’s Dr. Johannes Wolf, Electromagnetic Compatibility engineer for their Electrical Engineering department.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
DECAY OF SOLUTIONS OF MAXWELL-KLEIN-GORDON EQUATIONS WITH ARBITRARY MAXWELL FIELD
No full textIn the author's previous work, it has been shown that solutions of Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations in R3+1 possess some form of global strong decay properties with data bounded in some weighted energy space. In this paper, we prove pointwise decay estimates for the solutions for the case when the initial data are merely small on the scalar field but can be arbitrarily large on the Maxwell field. This extends the previous result of Lindblad and Sterbenz, in which smallness was assumed both for the scalar field and the Maxwell field.SCI(E)ARTICLE81829-1902
Foreign direct investment in a macroeconomic framework : finance, efficiency, incentives, and distortions
No full textDoes foreign direct investment (FDI) increase domestic investment, or does it provide additional foreign exchange for a pre-existing current account deficit, or some linear combination of the two? The author investigates this question for a group of five Pacific Basin countries and a control group of 11 other developing countries. For the sample of all 16 developing countries, the author finds that FDI does not provide additional balance of payments financing for a pre-existing current account deficit. In the control group of 11 developing countries, FDI is associated with reduced domestic investment - implying that FDI to those countries is simply a close substitute for other capital inflows. For the five Pacific Basin market economies, however, FDI raises domestic investment by the full extent of the FDI inflow. The author finds that FDI has a significantly negative impact on national saving in the sample of all 16 developing countries. For the control group, this negative effect is similar in magnitude to FDI's negative effect on domestic investment - implying a zero effect on the current account. But FDI's negative effect on national saving in the five Pacific Basin developing market economies implies that FDI could have more of a negative effect on the current account than through increased domestic investment alone. The author also investigates the impact of FDI on economic growth in these 16 countries, taking into account distortions in the economies. He estimates reduced-form current account equations, and presents an analytical framework for estimating FDI's effect on economic growth in the presence of incentive-disincentive packages and other economic distortions. He illustrates his framework using indicators of foreign trade and financial distortions. His main conclusion: the effect of FDI differs markedly from one group of countries to another. FDI has a negative effect on economic growth in the control group. It has the same positive effect on growth as domestically financed investment does in the Pacific Basin countries. The main cause for the different effect is the low level of distortion in the Pacific Basin countries.Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Foreign Direct Investment,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Macroeconomic Management
