Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients

Expander Decomposition with Fewer Inter-Cluster Edges Using a Spectral Cut Player
Get PDFA -expander-decomposition of a graph (with vertices
and edges) is a partition of into clusters with
conductance , such that there are at most
inter-cluster edges. Such a decomposition plays a crucial role in many graph
algorithms. We give a randomized time algorithm for
computing a -expander decomposition. This improves upon
the -expander decomposition also obtained in
time by [Saranurak and Wang, SODA 2019] (SW) and brings the
number of inter-cluster edges within logarithmic factor of optimal.
One crucial component of SW's algorithm is non-stop version of the
cut-matching game of [Khandekar, Rao, Vazirani, JACM 2009] (KRV): The cut
player does not stop when it gets from the matching player an unbalanced sparse
cut, but continues to play on a trimmed part of the large side. The crux of our
improvement is the design of a non-stop version of the cleverer cut player of
[Orecchia, Schulman, Vazirani, Vishnoi, STOC 2008] (OSVV). The cut player of
OSSV uses a more sophisticated random walk, a subtle potential function, and
spectral arguments. Designing and analysing a non-stop version of this game was
an explicit open question asked by SW.Comment: 61 pages; Improved (simplified) presentatio
Defoe's Foes:The Author as Character
Get PDFThe most famous fictional Defoe features in J. M. Coetzee’s Foe (1986), in which he conjures Robinson Crusoe out of a memoir by a “true” castaway. Harrumphing across the country alongside the modern-day narrator of Stuart Campbell’s Daniel Defoe’s Railway Journey (2017), a surreal iteration quite literally leaps out of the pages of a Penguin Classics edition of his real-life counterpart’s travel writing. Setting aside a long tradition of neo-Georgian novels in which Defoe cameos as a seventeenth-century spy, a Defoe-as-character only for all intents and purposes, this chapter attends to two complex cases in the genre of author fictions: Coetzee’s Foe and Campbell’s Defoe
Ethnic identity, political identity and ethnic conflict: simulating the effect of congruence between the two identities on ethnic violence and conflict
Get PDFThis thesis outlines and presents an alternative hypothetical process to the emergence of ethnic conflict. Ethnic conflicts, rather than being dependent upon pre-existing 'ancient hatreds', are instead the result of a congruence between ethnic and political identity which grants individuals the ability to use ethnicity to identify and eliminate political threats. This hypothesis is formed by the examination of three case studies of ethnic conflict: Lebanon, Northern Ireland and Croatia. This hypothesis is then formalised and tested using an agent based simulation in which agent interactions are dependent upon ethnic and political identity and the congruence between the two. As predicted there was a strong positive correlation between how accurately ethnic identity reflected political identity and the level of ethnically motivated violence in the simulation, although the relationship was not linear. Furthermore the effect of a shift in congruence was found to be roughly comparable to the effect of initialising agents with a moderate level of pre-existing ethnic antagonism

An interpreter for a novice-oriented programming language with runtime macros
No full textThesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2017.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 77-78).In this thesis, we present the design and implementation of a new novice-oriented programming language with automatically hygienic runtime macros, as well as an interpreter framework for creating such languages. The language is intended to be used as a pedagogical tool for introducing basic programming concepts to introductory programming students. We designed it to have a simple notional machine and to be similar to other modern languages in order to ease a student's transition into other programming languages.by Jeremy Daniel Kaplan.M. Eng
