    QATAR-2 : a K dwarf orbited by a transiting hot Jupiter and a more massive companion in an outer orbit

    No full text
    We report the discovery and initial characterization of Qatar-2b, a hot Jupiter transiting a V = 13.3 mag K dwarf in a circular orbit with a short period, P b = 1.34 days. The mass and radius of Qatar-2b are M P = 2.49 M J and R P = 1.14 R J, respectively. Radial-velocity monitoring of Qatar-2 over a span of 153 days revealed the presence of a second companion in an outer orbit. The Systemic Console yielded plausible orbits for the outer companion, with periods on the order of a year and a companion mass of at least several M J. Thus, Qatar-2 joins the short but growing list of systems with a transiting hot Jupiter and an outer companion with a much longer period. This system architecture is in sharp contrast to that found by Kepler for multi-transiting systems, which are dominated by objects smaller than Neptune, usually with tightly spaced orbits that must be nearly coplanar

    The Re-Valuation of William Jennings Bryan In Woodrow Wilson\u27s Administration

    No full text
    The Re-evaluation of William Jennings Bryan in Woodrow Wilson’s Administration is a study of the relationships of William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State, Edward M. House, uncommissioned agent of Woodrow Wilson, Walter Hines Page, United States. Ambassador to England, and Woodrow Wils0n, President of the United States. The author’s purpose in writing this thesis is to throw light upon the machinations that were carried on behind the back of William Jennings Bryan, as Secretary of State in Woodrow Wilson\u27s Administration. This investigation gives to Bryan a higher and more reputable position in American history than he is usually accorded. In order to accomplish this task it was necessary to re-evaluate The Intimate Papers of Colonel House which covers the Colonel\u27s early youth up to the end of World War I. The period 1912-1915 was given special attention. The author does not contend that Bryan should have been given the appointment, nor does he contend that there were not others who could have served in the capacity of Secretary of State with more ability than Bryan. The author does contend that with all the handicaps that Bryan faced, the Commoner performed his duty to the American people admirably

    Supply and Demand Drivers of Global Hydrogen Deployment in the Transition toward a Decarbonized Energy System

    No full text
    The role of hydrogen in energy system decarbonization is being actively examined by the research and policy communities. We evaluate the potential "hydrogen economy" in global climate change mitigation scenarios using the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM). We consider major hydrogen production methods in conjunction with delivery options to understand how hydrogen infrastructure affects its deployment. We also consider a rich set of hydrogen end-use technologies and vary their costs to understand how demand technologies affect deployment. We find that the availability of hydrogen transmission and distribution infrastructure primarily affects the hydrogen production mix, particularly the share produced centrally versus on-site, whereas assumptions about end-use technology primarily affect the scale of hydrogen deployment. In effect, hydrogen can be a source of distributed energy, enabled by on-site renewable electrolysis and, to a lesser extent, by on-site production at industrial facilities using natural gas with carbon capture and storage (CCS). While the share of hydrogen in final energy is small relative to the share of other major energy carriers in our scenarios, hydrogen enables decarbonization in difficult-to-electrify end uses, such as industrial high-temperature heat. Hydrogen deployment, and in turn its contribution to greenhouse gas mitigation, increases as the climate objective is tightened.

    Bryan Harris, MA (Oxon), passed away recently in his beloved native England, after a brief illness. His wife Mary, two sons and a daughter survive him. Bryan Harris had a long and distinguished career as an author, educator, barrister, diplomat, publisher and lobbyist. He was a consultant on European Union policies and laws to commercial and professional firms and associations. For almost three decades he was a Member of the Board of Trustees and Adjunct Professor of European Union Law at Pierce Law. Pierce Law President and Dean, John Hutson summed up what many members of the Pierce Law community expressed to me as I prepared this tribute saying, I think of Bryan mostly in single words ... jovial, cheerful, humble, dignified, diplomatic, caring ... Dean Huston shared that Professor Harris will be recognized during the 2004 Commencement

    Sagittal Alignment Comparison of Bryan Disc Arthroplasty With ProDisc-C Arthroplasty A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

    No full text
    Study Design: A prospective, randomized study of the radiographic outcomes in patients undergoing single-level cervical arthroplasty with Bryan disc and ProDisc-C prosthesis. Objective: The purpose of this trial was to compare the alignment changes of Bryan disc arthroplasty (modified techniques) with ProDisc-C arthroplasty. Summary of Background Data: Aggravation of kyphosis is the known challenge after Bryan disc arthroplasty. Both Bryan disc arthroplasty with modified techniques and ProDisc-C arthroplasty were reported to avoid the postoperative local kyphosis. There have been no studies comparing the alignment changes after Bryan disc arthroplasty with ProDisc-C arthroplasty. Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled clinical trial enrolling patients with cervical disc disease. Ultimately 20 patients received Bryan disc arthroplasty with modified surgical techniques and 26 patients received ProDisc-C arthroplasty. Functional spinal unit (FSU) and overall cervical alignment (Cobb angle of C2/7) were compared at final follow-up. Results: (1) FSU angle: the FSU angle was maintained for the Bryan disc group (from 0.8 to 0.6 degrees) without statistical significance; the FSU angle increased 2.9 degrees for the ProDisc-C group (from -0.3 to 2.6 degrees) with statistical significance. (2) Overall alignment: the overall alignments did not change for both Bryan disc and ProDisc-C groups. Conclusions: Bryan disc arthroplasty with modified techniques can maintain the lordosis of FSU, whereas ProDisc-C arthroplasty can restore the lordosis of FSU. For the patients with preoperative FSU kyphosis, ProDisc-C arthroplasty may be a better choice to restore the lordosis.Clinical NeurologyOrthopedicsSCI(E)PubMed1ARTICLE6381-3852

    A sensorimotor basis of speech communication

    No full text
    This dissertation presents the development of sensorimotor primitives as a means of constructing a language-agnostic model of speech communication. Insights from major theories in speech science and linguistics are used to develop a conceptual framework for sensorimotor primitives in the context of control and information theory. Within this conceptual framework, sensorimotor primitives are defined as a system transformation that simplifies the interface to some high dimensional and/or nonlinear system. In the context of feedback control, sensorimotor primitives take the form of a feedback transformation. In the context of communication, sensorimotor primitives are represented as a channel encoder and decoder pair. Using a high fidelity simulation of articulatory speech synthesis, these realizations of sensorimotor primitives are respectively applied to feedback control of the articulators, and communication via the acoustic speech signal. Experimental results demonstrate the construction of a model of speech communication that is capable of both transmitting and receiving information, and imitating simple utterances.Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

During the assem­bly, grade seven students partici­pated in such activities as walking races and wheelbarrow races, and wheelbarrow races. Mrs. West, Mrs. Jones, and several grade seven students put on a variety program. Also during the assembly, Mr. Hagel was presented with a tray in appreciation of his work with junior high in the past. "Welcome Back Day" was a large success and was enjoyed by everyone. 1 1 AWARDS NIGHT Among those receiving recognition at W.R.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE This is not the president's message I wanted to print. The president's message I wanted to print was to my fellow graduates ... a kind of "take care of yourself, ya hear". But then the editors of this book didn't want that as a president's message. "Tell us what council is going to do this year", they said. So even though this is really the editors' message I'm still president and I'm writing it, so it's a president's message (I think). Although we've got some objectives, one dance per month, and graduation, we can hardly say that will happen, mainly because we don't know what the students want to do. Our purpose after all, is to serve the students and hope­fully make them say thirty years from now, "Yup, old Myers School was a pretty good place back in 77-78". So, that's my president's - editors' - president's message. Don't look for a sequel. Tom Gillespie P.S. "Take care of yourself, ya hear." 14 JR. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE JUNIOR PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE We, the junior council, are responsible for giving the students an enjoy­able school year. Arranging social activities, dress-up days, and assemblies is mostly on our hands. We, however, can only produce these activities; you, the students and teachers, must take part. Having a good year means participation by both students and teachers. Activities such as dances, bas­ketball games, and other sports may seem only for the benefit of the stu­dents, but are for the teachers as well. Dress-up days include both teachers and students to develop our school spirit. As you can see, one of our major goals is to unite the students and teachers through various activities. We believe if the teachers and students can be together socially, they can get along better in school, and have a happier and more rewarding school year. Tracy Kanomata Back Row, L. to R.: S.

Throughout the year games were played against Barn­well, Grassy Lake, and St. Mary's and at the end of the league, Myers and Barnwell were tied for first place. To conclude the season, an invitational tournament was held. Here, Myers advanced to the finals but were defeated. The team was coached by Mrs. T. Malensky. 43 This Year, the Trotters competed in a South­ern 3A Basketball League. The team had a rec­ord of 3 wins and 7 losses in this new league, which involves teams from Medicine Hat, Coaldale, and Brooks. The Trotters also at­tended a tourney at McCoy High School in Medicine Hat, where they captured the conso­lation prize. We are looking forward to a good season next year, back in the old Southwest Conference. Sponsored by: Green Power Ltd. B.R., L. -R.: B. Rogers, J. Lothian, B. Nielsen, L. John­son. M.R.: K.

Myers' Ski Club enjoyed a very successful year this season, with an increase in members to 47, and SNOW in the mountains for a change. The club kicked off its season with fund raising campaigns in the fall. It ran a concession for the post-season volleyball tourney, catered to a staff luncheon, and held a bake sale. As we decided to go in style this year, we said "No" to the Community Club bus and travelled via Greyhound to Fernie in December and January for one day trips. We wound up the season with a super weekend trip to Kimberley and Fern­ie in March. Highlights of the year: - Mr. C. got his new poles ripped off in Kimberly. - Allan Mills "Man, this trip was a slice! !

The goal is not necessarily to develop skills for competition but rather to develop strength and muscle tone while at the same time achieving gymnastic pro­ficiency. At the annual talent night, the club demonstrated its capabilities by performing on the parallel bars. The club operated from De­cember to April this year, and will do the same next year, hopefully with a few more mem­bers. F. R., L. to R.: C. Nishima, T. Kanamata, J. Hooge, C. Maruyama, J.

CHILDREN S THEATER The success or failure of any drama class is directly re­lated to the attitude of the enrolled students. They must be enthusiastic about the activities and be willing to work co-operatively. This year's classes were of very high cali­ber because the students were receptive to the precept that; "You only get out of a drama class what you put in­to it. " Their enthusiasm provided the kind of atmosphere in which creativity flourished. The pictures on this page were taken during a perform­ance at St. Mary's kindergarten. Myers drama students have entertained hundreds of young students over the past several years. Prospective students often ask the question, "Will we be doing Children's Theater?" before deciding to to enroll in the class or not. This attests to the popularity of this kind of performance. Two Myers drama students, Harvey Tams and Colleen Arnett entered drama competitions in Taber and Edmon­ton. Harvey took first place in local competition and both competitors received high praise from the adjudicators in Edmonton. It was a good year! 62 ACTIVITIES JR. HIGH BAND AND CHORUS The Junior High C
