Letter from Cedrick M. Shimo to the Army Discharge Re-hearing Board, August 17, 1983
No full textA letter from Cedrick Shimo to the Army Discharge Re-hearing Board regarding Minoru Takaki, a fellow member of the 1800 Engineers, a labor battalion in the U.S. Army made up of Japanese Americans who were considered "misfits" during Word War II. Shimo writes that all the members of the battalion who spent some time in Japan before World War II were given "blue discharge without honor" regardless of their conduct in the Army. Shimo argues that Minoru was one of those soldiers who was unfairly discharged, and Shimo requests that the Board reverse this decision.These materials are from box 73 and 74 of the Frank Chin Papers.

Voodoo or I.Q. Revisited
No full textThis video recording, dated circa 1986, consists of a panel discussion at San Francisco University in San Francisco, California. The occasion for the discussion was the tenth anniversary of the publication of "Voodoo or IQ: An Introduction to African Psychology." The panel was comprised of the four authors of the original article: Cedrick Clark, D. Phillip McGee, Wade Nobles, and Na'im Akbar. Each author discusses the particular direction in which their subsequent research has moved. Dr. Nobles also asserts that the original article was written with two particularly "unusual questions" in mind. The first of these questions was about which race was the original race, "Caucasian or African." The second question wanted to look at the role melanin possibly plays in human behavior. A panel presentation held at San Francisco State University
Global Intermittency and Collapsing Turbulence in the Stratified Planetary Boundary Layer
No full textDirect numerical simulation of the turbulent Ekman layer over a smooth wall is used to investigate bulk properties of a planetary boundary layer under stable stratification. Our simplified configuration depends on two non-dimensional parameters: a Richardson number characterizing the stratification and a Reynolds number characterizing the turbulence scale separation. This simplified configuration is sufficient to reproduce global intermittency, a turbulence collapse, and the decoupling of the surface from the outer region of the boundary layer. Global intermittency appears even in the absence of local perturbations at the surface; the only requirement is that large-scale structures several times wider than the boundary-layer height have enough space to develop. Analysis of the mean velocity, turbulence kinetic energy, and external intermittency is used to investigate the large-scale structures and corresponding differences between stably stratified Ekman flow and channel flow. Both configurations show a similar transition to the turbulence collapse, overshoot of turbulence kinetic energy, and spectral properties. Differences in the outer region resulting from the rotation of the system lead, however, to the generation of enstrophy in the non-turbulent patches of the Ekman flow. The coefficient of the stability correction function from Monin-Obukhov similarity theory is estimated as (Formula presented.) in agreement with atmospheric observations, theoretical considerations, and results from stably stratified channel flows. Our results demonstrate the applicability of this set-up to atmospheric problems despite the intermediate Reynolds number achieved in our simulations. © 2014 The Author(s)
Parameters for the collapse of turbulence in the stratified plane Couette flow
No full textWe perform direct numerical simulation of the Couette flow as a model for the stable boundary layer. The flow evolution is investigated for combinations of the (bulk) Reynolds number and the imposed surface buoyancy flux. First, we establish what the similarities and differences are between applying a fixed buoyancy difference (Dirichlet) and a fixed buoyancy flux (Neumann) as boundary conditions. Moreover, two distinct parameters were recently proposed for the turbulent-to-laminar transition: the Reynolds number based on the Obukhov length and the "shear capacity," a velocity-scale ratio based on the buoyancy flux maximum. We study how these parameters relate to each other and to the atmospheric boundary layer. The results show that in a weakly stratified equilibrium state, the flow statistics are virtually the same between the different types of boundary conditions. However, at stronger stratification and, more generally, in nonequilibrium conditions, the flow statistics do depend on the type of boundary condition imposed. In the case of Neumann boundary conditions, a clear sensitivity to the initial stratification strength is observed because of the existence of multiple equilibriums, while for Dirichlet boundary conditions, only one statistically steady turbulent equilibrium exists for a particular set of boundary conditions. As in previous studies, we find that when the imposed surface flux is larger than the maximum buoyancy flux, no turbulent steady state occurs. Analytical investigation and simulation data indicate that this maximum buoyancy flux converges for increasing Reynolds numbers, which suggests a possible extrapolation to the atmospheric case.Atmospheric Remote Sensin
