Multiscale models of metallic particles in nematic liquid crystals
No full textIn this paper we use the method of homogenization to derive a set of approximate equations which describe a nematic liquid crystal colloid in which the dopants are freely rotating metallic particles. Previously we have studied the approximate behavior of liquid crystals doped with particles under the assumption that these remain stationary [Bennett et al (2014), Phys Rev E 90, 062595]. This paper builds on Bennett et al (2014) by extending the theory to include rotating particles. We find a set of governing equations for the nematic liquid crystal and for the dopant particles. Effective material parameters are given explicitly in terms of the microscopic particle-liquid crystal interaction parameters by a sequence of cell problems solved on the micro-scale. We validate our model by direct comparison to large scale numerical simulation and find excellent agreement for a variety of dopants shapes

Benefits of a population: five mechanisms that advantage population-based algorithms
No full textThis paper identifies five distinct mechanisms by which a population-based algorithm might have an advantage over a solo-search algorithm in classical optimization. These mechanisms are illustrated through a number of toy problems. Simulations are presented comparing different search algorithms on these problems. The plausibility of these mechanisms occurring in classical optimization problems is discussed. The first mechanism we consider relies on putting together building blocks from different solutions. This is extended to include problems containing critical variables. The second mechanism is the result of focusing of the search caused by crossover. Also discussed in this context is strong focusing produced by averaging many solutions. The next mechanism to be examined is the ability of a population to act as a low-pass filter of the landscape, ignoring local distractions. The fourth mechanism is a population's ability to search different parts of the fitness landscape, thus hedging against bad luck in the initial position or the decisions it makes. The final mechanism is the opportunity of learning useful parameter values to balance exploration against exploitation

Bennett Family History
No full textThis 50-page typed manuscript is a history of the Bennett family written by Della Bennett Dillard. The history was collected as part of the Cataloochee History Project that collected photographs, stories, and oral histories about families who lived in the Cataloochee Valley. Today’s Cataloochee Valley is within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. While, in general, the Great Smoky Mountains region was sparsely populated, the Cataloochee Valley remained an exception. By 1900, the population of Cataloochee had grown to 1,000 residents living in hundreds of log and frame homes.I

ORIGIN OF THE BENNETT NAME
The surname Bennett means "son of Benet," the latter being a personal
name derived through old French Beneit from the Latin Benedictus ("blessed").
It was a common Christian name from the twelfth century. At one time everyone
was known by a single name, but this led to confusion, so an extra name was
adopted. Thus, a man named John whose father was Benet' might be known as
John (son of) Benet', with the additional name eventually becoming hereditary as
a surname.
Early records mention Robert Beneyt, who appears in a Lincolnshire
charter in the second half of the 12th century; and Robert Benyt, in
Cambridgeshire Subsidy Rolls in 1327. Robert Bennet 1605 - 1684 was a
Parliamentarian Colonel during the English Civil war and was appointed a
member of the Council of State in 1653. Edward Bennett 1797 - 1836
promoted the establishment of the Entomological Society in 1832, which
ultimately developed into the London Zoological Society. Among early
emigrants from England to America was the Reverend William Benitett, who
arrived in Jamestown in 1626. James Bennett 1800- 1872 came to America. in
1819 and worked on the staff of several newspapers, founding the New York
Herald in 1835. He subsidized Stanley's expedition to find Livingston in 1871.
The arms illustrated are described heraldically as: Gules, a bezant between
three demi lions rampart argent; Crest: out of a mural crown or a lion's head
gules on the neck a bezant or: e. for motto: De bon vouloir servile roi. Writers
in the past have attributed symbolism to the tincures and changes of heraldrythus,
or (gold) is said to denote Generosity; argent (silver) Humility; and gules
(red) Magnanimity; the lion signifies the motto may be translated "to serve the
king with goodwill."
The above information was provided by Linda Bennett Barnes, who found
it printed on a plaque in a shop in California.

Clarkesville Baptist Church, Clarkesville, Georgia. The Rev. Douglas Malcom White
performed the ceremony. "Urcey" was born 12 August 1918, Sylva, North Carolina, son
of Vilas Napoleon "Polie" Dillard and Charlotte Minnie Lee (Cope) Dillard. Emmett
(name used after he _started to work for the U.S. government) served in the U.S. Navy
during World War II as a radarman aboard the U.S.S. Duxberry Bay. After the war he
returned to school and received his Master of Science degree at North Carolina State
College in 1948 and his Ph.D. in Animal Husbandry from the University of Missouri in
1953. He joined the faculty of North Carolina State in 1948 and taught there until his
retirement in 1979. Emmett and Della had four children:
David George Dillard, 11 January 1941 at George Bennett's home in
Wolffork Valley, Rabun Gap, Georgia;
Sandra Leigh Dillard, 24 October 1943 in Clarksville, Georgia;
Gerald Emmett Dillard, 27 April1945 in Clarksville, Georgia; and
Clifton Eugene Dillard, 11 January 1951 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
David George Dillard married Hilda Irene Miranda Matos on 20 December 1969
in the Forest Hills Baptist Church
Design and Construction of the William R. Bennett Bridge
No full text<p>The William R. Bennett Bridge is a new floating bridge across Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, Canada that will replace an existing aging structure. There are several characteristics that make this project unique. The new bridge has floating and fixed sections with complex structural interaction. The floating section has an elevated deck, which was cast while floating and while the pontoon- string assembly was ongoing, thus requiring constant monitoring and ballasting modifications.</p><p>These challenges have been overcome with innovative thinking and close coordination between the design and construction teams that comprise the W. R. Bennett Bridge Group.</p></jats:p
Learning the large-scale structure of the max-sat landscape using populations
No full textA new algorithm for solving MAX-SAT problems is introduced which clusters good solutions, and restarts the search from the closest feasible solution to the centroid of each cluster. This is shown to be highly efficient for finding good solutions of large MAX-SAT problems. We argue that this success is due to the population learning the large-scale structure of the fitness landscape. Systematic studies of the landscape are presented to support this hypothesis. In addition, a number of other strategies are tested to rule out other possible explanations of the success. Preliminary results are shown indicating that extensions of the proposed algorithm can give similar improvements on other hard optimisation problems

Small- to medium-sized spiders, carapace lengths averaging 1.96–2.33 mm (males) and 1.93–2.26 mm (females); females usually slightly smaller than males. Legs pale yellow to light reddish brown, unmarked. Usually five complete pairs of conspicuous elongate ventral tibia I macrosetae: pattern usually 2(+1p)-2-1p-2-2-2-0 (Fig. 2).Abdomen pale to gray with or without markings. Colulus a low swelling marked by two clumps of very few setae.</p> <p> <i>Male</i>: Patellar apophysis (Figs 53–59, 62, 64–65) variable, species diagnostic, with usually four or fewer peg setae. Retrolateral tibial apophysis (Figs 53–54, 56–59, 61) bipartite with variable distal and medial components, either may be species diagnostic depending on species; distal component nearly as long as tibia. Genital bulb (Figs 43–51) with simple elongate, thin embolus; tegular apophysis well developed with distal arm large, somewhat species diagnostic and proximal arm variable, often species diagnostic.</p> <p> <i>Female</i>: Epigyne (Figs 66, 70, 75, 80) with single medial or anteromedial, transverse, usually inconspicuous atrium (except usually prominent in <i>R. beaudini</i> <b>spec. nov.</b>: Fig. 66). Vulva (Figs 67–69, 71–74, 76–79, 81–83) with copulatory ducts very short, heavily sclerotized, proceeding anteriorly from atrium, separate or contiguous at atrium, readily visible ventrally through integument of uncleared epigynes as two darkened areas at lateral edges of atrium; spermathecal heads close to anterior margin of atrium; Bennett’s glands usually inconspicuous, obscured by loops of spermathecal ducts; fertilization ducts attached posteriorly to spermathecal bases.</p> <p> <b>Composition and distribution</b>. (Figs 85–86). The species of <i>Rothaeina</i> <b>gen. nov.</b> have restricted ranges within an area encompassing southwestern Oregon south to San Mateo County and Yosemite National Park in, respectively, central western and eastern California. We recognize five species: <i>R. beaudini</i> <b>spec. nov.</b> (females only), <i>R. jamesi</i> <b>spec. nov.</b>, <i>R. mackinleyi</i> <b>spec. nov.</b>, <i>R. petersoni</i> <b>spec. nov.</b>, and <i>R. sequoia</i> <b>comb. nov.</b> The latter two species are relatively common within their distributions; the other three species are rarely recorded.</p> Key to the species of <i>Rothaeina</i> gen. nov. <p> (male of <i>R. beaudini</i> <b>spec. nov.</b> unknown)</p> <p>1.
