Decwar, Version 2.3 [Tops 10 port]
No full textA browser-based version of this game can be played at: http://malthus.dyndns.org:4040. Instructions for logon are as follows: 1) Hit enter a few times, 2) When greeted, type "log public". To enter the game, 1) Type "p [1,27]" and press enter, 2) Then type "run decwar" and press enter.
The same procedures can be followed through a telnet client, at malthus.dyndns.org 2020DECWAR 2.3 is a sophisticated real-time space battle game designed to be played by from 1 to 10 people on the DEC-10 model mainframe computer. Decwar was originally written at the University of Texas at Austin circa 1979-1980, primarily by Jeff Potter and Bob Hysick, and it originated from a game called WAR, which came from the CDC-6600/6400 system at UT-Austin, author unknown. The files represented here were ported by Merlyn Cousins from Harris Newman's Decwar 2.3 source code to a Simh/Tops 10 emulator environment. Newman's 2.3 version reflected changes made to the UT-developed Decwar, which were made so the game could be installed on a Compuserve (CIS) system, circa 1981.Dolph Briscoe Center for American Histor
Self-made Sorcerer: the Modernization of Merlyn in Jack Whyte\u27s the Camuhod Chronicles
No full textWhen Geoffrey of Monmouth put his pen to paper to record the King Arthur legend as a part of his The History of the of Kings of Britain, he brought to life for the first time since the old Welsh Legends the character of Merlin. But Merlin\u27s development did not stop there. In version after version of the Arthurian legend he continued to appear, taking on many roles, from tutor to madman, but always maintaining an essential Merlin character of magic, wisdom, and power. One modern author who uses Merlin as a significant character in his re telling of the Arthurian story is Jack Whyte in his The Camulod Chronicles. It is no surprise that Whyte\u27s Merlyn differs from the Merlin of medieval texts, because Whyte intends to suggest to his audience the possibility of truth in his Arthurian tale, which means not placing as much weight on Merlyn as magical since that is not accepted as feasible today as it was by medieval audiences

The reproduction of the reactionary fascist and nationalist ideas in Venezuela
No full textTras realizar un recorrido por las raíces históricas del fascismo y del nacionalismo reaccionario que sustentaron las dos dictaduras vividas en Venezuela durante el siglo xx, el autor analiza el protagonismo de los medios de comunicación como vehículos de las ideas fascistas desde sus inicios en manos de la Iglesia Católica, hasta su participación en la consolidación de la ultraderecha y de los partidos extremistas que combaten al chavismo en la actualidad. Una de las primeras consideraciones del trabajo, aún en curso, es que la irrupción de corrientes políticas de pensamiento extremista, ha dejado en evidencia elementos de continuidad histórica como la diferenciación del otro a partir de la «clase», el «nivel social», el color de piel, el idioma o la cultura.After a review for the historical roots of the fascism the fascism and of the reactionary nationalism that sustained both dictatorships lived in Venezuela during the 20th century, the author analyzes the protagonism of the mass media as vehicles of the fascist ideas from his beginnings, in hands of the Catholic Church, up to his participation in the consolidation of the ultraright one and of the extremist parties that attack the chavismo at present. Some of the first considerations of this work, still in progress, is that the emergence of political currents of extremist thinking, has revealed elements of historical historical continuity and differentiation from the other based on the «class», «social level», skin color, language or cultura.Facultad de Periodismo y Comunicación Socia
LASER-INDUCED SINGLE VIBRONIC LEVEL FLUORESCENCE SPECTRA OF PROPYNAL VAPOR
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Chemistry, U. of Arizona; Department of Physics, U. of Georgia; Department of Chemistry, Davidson CollegeSingle vibrational levels (SVLs) in the state of propynal vapor have been populated by tuned, pulsed laser excitation in room temperature ``bulb” experiment. Time-resolved fluorescence spectra for the origin level, five SVLs corresponding to a single quantum of one mode, and two combination SVLs have been recorded and assigned. Mode 4 has the greatest spectral activity and displays an anharmonicity of in the ground state. Spectral evidence supports the activity of all modes except mode 1. After mode 4, the most prominent vibrational modes in the origin spectrum are 9 and 12, which contrasts with the prominence of modes 5, 6 and 10 and relative unimportance of modes 9 and 12 in the absorption spectrum. As expected, it is found that the same transitions which occur in the origin spectrum are observed in all other spectra. The spectral structure in all spectra consists of (1) fundamentals or overtones of single modes, (2) fundamentals or overtones of single modes in combination with a progression member, or (3) fundamentals or overtones of two modes in combination with a progression member
TIME EVOLUTION OF SHORT-LIVED MOLECULAR SPECIES OBSERVED BY INTRACAVITY LASER ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY
No full textAuthor Institution: Laboratoire de Spectcometrie Physique Universite Scientifique et Medicale de Grenoble BP68 38042, Saint Martin d'Heres; Department of Chemistry, Davidson College, Davidson; Department of Chemistry, Syracuse University SyracuseWe report the feasibility of using CW intracavity laser absorption spectroscopy (ICLAS) as a probe in detecting transient species generated by pulsed laser photolysis. The method of detection uses a time-generated CW laser beam and time-resolved spectra which are delayed with respect to the photolysis pulse. Variable time delays and a constant generation time have been used to detect the time dependence of the absorbing species at times as short as a few microseconds. We applied the technique to the study of the time evolution of the formation of the free radical HCO generated by photolysis of gas-phase acetaldehyde at pressures down to tens of mtorr. We have also found that the ultimate sensitivity of the ICLAS technique is limited mainly by the mechanical stability of the cavity. M. Chenevier, M. A. Melieres, F. Stoeckel, to be published G. H.
