Mounds Boulevard: Public Realm Upgrades for Pedestrians and Bicyclists
No full textProfessional paper for the fulfillment of the Master of Public Policy and Master of Urban and Regional PlanningThe Gateway Corridor is a regional transitway currently
proposed to run from the newly restored
Union Station in downtown St Paul to the metropolitan
region’s eastern edge near Woodbury. The
transitway will connect at Union Station to proposed
intra-city rail and bus services, the Metro
Green rail line and existing bus services, and future
Metro intercity and regional rail and bus lines.
While an exact alignment and mode for the Gateway
Corridor have not been selected at this time, a
station has been proposed for Mounds Boulevard
as it passes through Dayton’s Bluff, a neighborhood
to the northeast of downtown St Paul’s Lowertown
district. In contrast to other proposed stations
along the Gateway corridor, the Mounds Boulevard
station will be urban in character, with passengers
coming and going by foot or bicycle rather
than parking and riding. As such, this planning
phase presents an opportunity to address the state
of pedestrian and bicycle connections between
the station and the surrounding neighborhood.Deppe, Brian; Edstrom, Robert; James, Ashley; Oltz, Brent; Williams, Jesse. (2013). Mounds Boulevard: Public Realm Upgrades for Pedestrians and Bicyclists. Retrieved from the University Digital Conservancy, https://hdl.handle.net/11299/148965

Preferential treatment. by Peter Brent

The borwein brothers, pi and the AGM
No full textWe consider some of Jonathan and Peter Borweins contributions to the high-precision computation of ? and the elementary functions, with particular reference to their book Pi and the AGM (Wiley, 1987). Here AGM is the arithmeticgeometric mean of Gauss and Legendre. Because the AGM converges quadratically, it can be combined with fast multiplication algorithms to give fast algorithms for the n-bit computation of ?, and more generally the elementary functions. These algorithms run in almost linear time (Formula Presented), where M(n) is the time for n-bit multiplication. We outline some of the results and algorithms given in Pi and the AGM, and present some related (but new) results. In particular, we improve the published error bounds for some quadratically and quartically convergent algorithms for ?, such as the GaussLegendre algorithm. We show that an iteration of the Borwein-Borwein quartic algorithm for ? is equivalent to two iterations of the GaussLegendre quadratic algorithm for ?, in the sense that they produce exactly the same sequence of approximations to ? if performed using exact arithmetic.The author was supported in part by an Australian Research Council grant DP140101417. Jon
Borwein was the Principal Investigator on this grant, which was held by Borwein, Brent and Baile
Introducing the Author-ity Exporter, and a case study of geo-temporal movement of authors
No full textWe introduce a web service, Author-ity Exporter, that permits searching and exporting data from Author-ity -- a database that has PubMed author names disambiguated with a high degree of accuracy [1]. Each author is represented by a cluster of papers annotated by publication count, time-span, affiliations, topics, journals, co-authors, citations as well as imputed data from MapAffil [2], Genni [3], and Ethnea [4] and links to their NIH/NSF grants and USPTO patents; and we have plans for more. This service should enable and simplify new types of author-centered bibliometric analyses with a unique strength in funding, geography, and diversity (gender, ethnicity, and professional age). We also present an illustrative case study of modeling of authors’ career movements to and from a specific city based on data retrieved from Author-ity Exporter. The service (and the R code used in the case study) are available at http://abel.ischool.illinois.edu/cgi-bin/exporter/search.pl.Submitted by Vetle Torvik ([email protected]) on 2016-09-20T18:19:36Z

Arduino for Musicians: A Complete Guide to Arduino and Teensy Microcontrollers
No full textArduino, Teensy, and related microcontrollers provide a virtually limitless range of creative opportunities for musicians and hobbyists who are interested in exploring do it yourself technologies. Given the relative ease of use and low cost of the Arduino platform, electronic musicians can now envision new ways of synthesizing sounds and interacting with music-making software. This comprehensive guide to the underlying technologies enables electronic musicians and technologists to tap into the vast creative potential of the platform by learning to create instruments and control systems that respond to light, touch, pressure, breath, and other forms of real-time control.https://digitalcommons.whitworth.edu/faculty_books/1042/thumbnail.jp
