Linear Collider Collaboration Tech Notes Improved Overhead Accounting in the NLC Main Linac Improved Overhead Accounting in the NLC Main Linacs
No full textAbstract This note documents a set of expressions used to explore the issue of whether or not it is reasonable to consider a conventional positron source for a Tesla formatted beam. The critical issue is that of energy deposition in the conversion target and the comparison of the induced stress with the ultimate tensile strength of the target material. Since the length of the incident beam pulse is large in comparison to the ratio of beam size to the speed of sound, the concurrent pressure pulse dissipates in a time short compared to the overall pulse duration and one is left with only the Improved Overhead Accounting in the NLC Main Linac Peter Tenenbaum June Improved Overhead Accounting in the NLC Main Linacs P. Tenenbaum LCC-Note-0148 June 9, 2004 Abstract The NLC main linac contains 1,116 RF power units, of which 5% are considered "spares" for replacement of failed power units, make-up of the energy gain during an RF breakdown, and energy feedback. A more careful accounting for the effects of beam loading indicates that the NLC can operate with less BNS overhead and a smaller mean phase offset than was originally specified, and that as a consequence the total number of spares is actually about 7.9% of the total
Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Hey, He Stole My Copyright: Putting Theft on Trial in the Tenenbaum Copyright Case
No full textThis article approaches the well-publicized Joel Tenenbaum copyright case through an analysis of its highly-charged trial rhetoric. In particular, it argues that the case as tried was not really about Joel Tenenbaum or his actions. Rather, the trial was about whether, and to what extent, peer-to-peer (“P2P”) file sharing is “theft,” and the P2P sharer a “thief.” So approached, the case provides a captivating, perhaps unique, academic case study on the power of theft rhetoric in a copyright trial as advanced before a jury.
It first introduces the Tenenbaum litigation generally, and its place in the recording companies’ broad attack on P2P file-sharing. Next, it shows how the rhetoric of theft pervaded the trial to such a degree that the file-sharing-as-theft metaphor itself became the central figure in the drama. By closing arguments, the parties were effectively asking the jury to decide not whether Tenenbaum was liable for copyright infringement, which was not even in dispute, but whether Tenenbaum’s infringement amounted to copyright theft. Then, working off of the framework for defining “theft” of intellectual property developed by Prof. Stuart Green in his recent theoretical treatise on theft law, 13 Ways to Steal a Bicycle, the article asks expressly the question implicit in the Tenenbaum case. Namely, did plaintiffs succeed in showing that Tenenbaum “stole” the copyright in the thirty songs at issue? It finds that while the plaintiffs shaped their arguments in such a way as to justify the conclusion that P2P file-sharers, working in the aggregate, could effectively steal a copyright, they failed to make such a case as against Tenenbaum individually.
The article then observes that whatever theoretical flaws there might be in the theft narrative and Tenenbaum outcome, the trial provides confirmation that the industry’s long campaign to promote the file-sharer-as-thief metaphor gained traction with the public. It at least primed the jury for the rhetoric advanced in the case. As between the two narratives on trial — theft and not-theft — the former best explains the jury’s verdict. Nevertheless, in the final analysis, the plaintiffs “won” little of value in the Tenenbaum case. It was ultimately a symbolic litigation that never should have happened in the first place
Self-trapping of infrared energy absorbed in acetanilide
No full textAcetanilide (ACN) has an anomalous low temperature IR absorption band, which has been attributed to a self-trapped state of molecular vibrational energy in the amide group (Davydov-like soliton). A classical model for a segment of an ACN chain has been set up, taking into account the degrees of freedom of the amide group involved in the H-bond: stretching of C=O bond, stretching and bending of the H-bond. The dynamics of the molecule has been investigated by molecular dynamics simulation
