Range of the Thermometer at Denton: 1858
No full textBooklet containing information about the temperature, wind, and weather in Denton, Texas from July to December 1858. Otis G. Welch was the author and illustrator of this book. He recorded his observations at sunrise, noon, 3 p.m., and sunset. Mr. Welch also made notes about the wind, weather, and clouds. We debated about the artwork on the cover and - with the help of the staff of the Fort Worth Botanical Research Institute of Texas - decided that it is either a bent angle Curie Thermometer OR a "flowering grass culm with two rows of seed heads along the central axis of sideoats grama (Bouteloua curtipendula).

Ironies of Social Control and the Criminalization of Immigrants
No full textAs moral panic over immigrants spread during the early 1990s, immigration policies became increasingly criminalized in the wake of the bombings of the World Trade Center in 1993 and o fthe Murrah Federal Building in OklahomaCity in 1995. In response to the threat o fterrorism at home, Congress enacted theIllegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act along with the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act in 1996. Since then several key provisions of those statutes have produced numerous violations of civil liberties and immigrants' rights. Drawing on a conceptual framework developed by sociologist Gary T. Marx (1981), this article examines critically the contradictions and ironies of immigration control, specifically the most controversial aspects of the 1996 laws:court-stripping provisions, use of secret evidence, and growing register of deportable crimes. In light of the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001,the article expresses concerns over the government's current campaign to fight terrorism, especially the use of racial profiling and mass detention shrouded in secrecy.Originally published in journal Crime, Law & Social Change.

Abolala Soudavar. Reassessing Early Safavid Art and History. Thirty-Five Years after Dickson & Welch 1981
No full textThe volume consists of seven individual studies which are bound together by their strong reliance on The Houghton Shahnameh (Cambridge, Mass., 1981) by Martin Bernard Dickson and Stuart Cary Welch and the deference of the author to this two-volume work. While the author engages multiple problems in the respective chapters, his overarching concern is for “Dickson & Welch 1981”: a seminal volume which Soudavar believes to have been unjustly marginalised, ignored, and/or criticised by subsequent..
Welch FFT Segment Size Selection Method for FFT Based Wide Band Spectrum Measurement
No full textAbstractWe introduce a Welch FFT segment size selection method for FFT-based wide band spectrum measurement in the context of smart spectrum access (SSA), in which statistical spectrum usage information of primary users (PUs), such as duty cycle (DC), will be exploited by secondary users (SUs). Energy detectors (EDs) based on Welch FFT can detect the presence of PU signals in a broadband environment efficiently, and DC can be estimated properly if a Welch FFT segment size is set suitably. There is a trade-off between detection performance and frequency resolution in terms of the Welch FFT segment size. The optimum segment size depends on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) which makes practical and optimum segment size setting difficult. For this issue, we previously proposed a segment size selection method employing a relationship between noise floor (NF) estimation output and the segment size without SNR information. It can achieve accurate spectrum awareness at the expense of relatively high computational complexity since it employs exhaustive search to select a proper segment size. In this paper, we propose a segment size selection method that offers reasonable spectrum awareness performance with low computational complexity since limited search is used. Numerical evaluations show that the proposed method can match the spectrum awareness performance of the conventional method with 70% lower complexity or less.Abstract

Denton Welch, un valor poco conocido de las letras inglesas
No full textEl 11 de mayo de 1945, la Editorial Routledge de Londres publicó un libro, que prologaba Edith Sitwell, titulado Maiden Voyage, esto es: “Primer Viaje”. Era una obra ilustrada por su autor, un escritor novel, Dentón Welch, de quien ya se hablaba con entusiasmo en los círculos literarios londinenses. El libro iba dedicado a Edith Sitwell. “For Miss Edith Sitwell” reza la dedicatoria; y la autora de Troy Park, Facade y Green Song afirmaba en un breve prólogo: “This is a very moving and remar- kable first book, and the author appears to be that very rare being, a born writer. . . Mr. Welch uses ivords as only a born loriter uses them”.Universidad Nacional de La Plat
