Michigan State University sophomore Wendy Pearson talks about her childhood, family, schooling, college life, and career interests
No full textMichigan State University sophomore Wendy Pearson talks about her childhood in Detroit, her "barely integrated" grade school, her parents, attending Cass Tech High School, majoring in journalism, acclimating to college and roommates, and the importance of education in her family. Pearson also talks about aspiring to own a magazine, her reluctance to marry and have children, and the possibility of someday writing novels

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Optical characteristics of pn junctions and MOS transistors with applications to integrated circuit measurements
No full textThe photocurrent generation characteristics of pn junctions and MOS transistors are studied with a view to applying these devices to input data optically direct into the internal circuity of integrated circuits, by a finely focussed laser beam. This permits simple testing schemes for fault detection; and can make large savings in the time taken for diagnostic testing of IC's. A review of the spectral characteristics of the photocurrents of both the diffused pn junction and the MOS (induced) pn junction are presented and compared.It is also shown that the optical input of data can be employed to measure propagation delay times associated with each stage in an MOS dynamic shift-register circuit; which leads to a better understanding of the internal operation of the circuit. A novel application of the MOS phototransistor is also presented. It is shown that amplification of the photocurrent generated can be produced by including a large resistance between the substrate and the source. A simple model which adequately describes the mechanisms involved is presented. Results of calculations of both the amplification factor and the response speed, based on this model show good agreement with experiment.This configuration can be used to produce from a moderate laser beam power, the large photocurrents needed to switch some digital IC families (e.g. CMOS). Silicon-gate devices are very suitable as MOS phototransistors because the gate electrode transmits visible radiation. This property, coupled with photocurrent amplification where necessary, makes the laser probe method of data input in conjunction with standard test equipment a useful method for testing of present day MOS integrated circuits.</p

No full textMichael Pearson is the director of the creative writing program at Old Dominion University. He has published essays and stories in The New York Times, The Baltimore Sun, The Boston Globe, The Atlanta Journal and Constitution, The Washington Post, The Journal of American Culture, and Creative Nonfiction, among others. He is author of four books of nonfiction. His first book, Imagined Places: Journeys into Literary America, was listed as one of the notable books of the year by the 1992 New York Times Book Review. His most recent book, Dreaming of Columbus: A Boyhood in the Bronx, was published in 1999. Willie Morris, former editor of Harper\u27s, said, Michael Pearson is one of our nation\u27s finest memoirists. Dreaming of Columbus should give him the reputation among American writers he so richly deserves. Pearson\u27s first novel, Shohola Falls, will be published by Syracuse University Press in fall 2003

Seize the day Lester B. Pearson and crisis diplomacy
No full textIn this uniquely insightful and informed account of Lester B. Pearson's foreign policy in the year 1948-1957, his son Geoffrey Pearson places the "Golden Age" of Canadian diplomacy in perspective. Holding the necessary balance between nationalism and realism in a particularly unstable time emerges as Pearson's overriding achievement as Secretary of State for External Affairs. It was a time when Canadian influence was felt around the world, and it culminated with a Nobel Peace Prize for Pearson. The author examines his father's politics in the context of Cold War stand-off, relations with the United States, the pressures for collective security, and the threat of nuclear war. Research into cabinet documents, combined with more personal sources, provides an especially strong picture of the Pearson legacy and its future implications for Canadian foreign policy
