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.

Wavelet-derived features as indicators of physiological changes induced by bed rest
No full textObjective: Bed rest studies are employed to simulate microgravity situations as encountered in spaceflight. Current methods of assessing muscle function impairment due to microgravity exposure include techniques such as maximum voluntary contraction assessments using force measurements. Such techniques involve impractical long-feedback loops for applications involving rehabilitation or otherwise detecting physiological changes. Recent studies have made use of the discrete wavelet transform in combination with machine learning methods to classify hand gestures and detect pathologies. In this paper, we demonstrate models capable of discriminating between the before and after bed rest states by extracting features from surface electromyography measurements. Methods: A previously conducted and studied bed rest experiment is examined by discrete wavelet transform for tractable feature sets for the purpose of k-nearest neighbor and Support Vector Machine classification. Forward feature selection is used with k-nearest neighbor or Support Vector Machine selection criteria. Classifiers are evaluated on non-wavelet-derived features for sake of comparison. Results: Wavelet-derived features perform well for both classifiers with classification accuracies as high as 95%. Models without wavelet-derived features do not perform as well overall. Conclusion: These high-accuracy results are promising for future efforts in neuromuscular monitoring and further investigations with larger sample sizes. Significance: Classification algorithms utilizing features derived by wavelet transforms provide a method toward development of short-feedback loop measurements of the physiological effects of prolonged disuse
Life of occam-Pi
No full textThis paper considers some questions prompted by a brief review of the history of computing. Why is programming so hard? Why is concurrency considered an “advanced” subject? What’s the matter with Objects? Where did all the Maths go? In searching for answers, the paper looks at some concerns over fundamental ideas within object orientation (as represented by modern programming languages), before focussing on the concurrency model of communicating processes and its particular expression in the occam family of languages. In that focus, it looks at the history of occam, its underlying philosophy (Ockham’s Razor), its semantic foundation on Hoare’s CSP, its principles of process oriented design and its development over almost three decades into occam-? (which blends in the concurrency dynamics of Milner’s ?-calculus). Also presented will be an urgent need for rationalisation – occam-? is an experiment that has demonstrated significant results, but now needs time to be spent on careful review and implementing the conclusions of that review. Finally, the future is considered. In particular, is there a future
