Letter re: Amon Carter, Jr.
No full textLetter from Margaret Wade Morton to Amon Carter expressing sympathy at the news that his son, Amon, Jr., had been reported missing in action in North Africa.Just this note to let you know I am thinking of you at this time. If there is any thing I can do, would be very glad. But now I feel so helpless. Let me know if you hear any news of importance, am always interested. That you may have strength to bear what-ever may come, is my prayer. "Although there's little comfort In the words that one can say, Still, may it help-- just knowing Others think of you today." Margaret (Wade) Morto

I Think I Am Philip K. Dick
No full textFor years, noted writer Laurence A. Rickels often found himself compared to novelist Philip K. Dickthough in fact Rickels had never read any of the science fiction writers work. When he finally read his first Philip K. Dick novel, while researching for his recent book The Devil Notebooks , it prompted a prolonged immersion in Dicks writing as well as a recognition of Rickelss own long-documented intellectual pursuits. The result of this engagement is I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick , a profound thought experiment that charts the wide relevance of the pulp sci-fi author and paranoid visionary. I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick explores the science fiction authors meditations on psychic reality and psychosis, Christian mysticism, Eastern religion, and modern spiritualism. Covering all of Dicks science fiction, Rickels corrects the lack of scholarly interest in the legendary Californian author and, ultimately, makes a compelling case for the philosophical and psychoanalytic significance of Philip K. Dicks popular and influential science fiction.Intro -- Contents -- Introjection -- Part I -- Endopsychic Allegories -- Schreber Guardian -- Belief System Surveillance -- Part II -- Deeper Problems -- Veil of Tears -- Go West -- Dick Manfred -- Timing -- Glimmung -- Part III -- Spiritualism Analogy -- Imitating the Dead -- Indexical Layer -- Ilse -- Hammers and Things -- Crucifictions -- Over There -- Martyrology -- Can't Live, Can't Live -- Lola -- Umwelt, Mitwelt, and Eigenwelt -- Outer Race -- The German Introject -- Part IV -- Materialism, Idealism, and Cybernetics -- Startling Stories -- A Couple of Years -- Android Empathy -- Homunculus and Robot -- ALL OF YOU ARE DEAD.

Review and revision of Cenozoic tropical planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy and calibration to the Geomagnetic Polarity and Astronomical Time Scale
No full textPlanktonic foraminifera are widely utilized for the biostratigraphy of Cretaceous and Cenozoic marine sediments and are a fundamental component of Cenozoic chronostratigraphy. The recent enhancements in deep sea drilling recovery, multiple coring and high resolution sampling both offshore and onshore, has improved the planktonic foraminiferal calibrations to magnetostratigraphy and/or modified species ranges. This accumulated new information has allowed many of the planktonic foraminiferal bioevents of the Cenozoic to be revised and a reassessment of the planktonic foraminiferal calibrations. We incorporate these developments and amendments into the existing biostratigraphic zonal scheme.In this paper we present an amended low-latitude (tropical and subtropical) Cenozoic planktonic foraminiferal zonation. We compile 187 revised calibrations of planktonic foraminiferal bioevents from multiple sources for the Cenozoic and have incorporated these recalibrations into a revised Cenozoic planktonic foraminiferal biochronology. We review and synthesize these calibrations to both the geomagnetic polarity time scale (GPTS) of the Cenozoic and astronomical time scale (ATS) of the Neogene and late Paleogene. On the whole, these recalibrations are consistent with previous work; however, in some cases, they have led to major adjustments to the duration of biochrons. Recalibrations of the early middle Eocene first appearance datums of Globigerinatheka kugleri, Hantkenina singanoae, Guembelitrioides nuttalli and Turborotalia frontosa have resulted in large changes in the durations of Biochrons E7, E8 and E9. We have introduced (upper Oligocene) Zone O7 utilizing the biostratigraphic utility of 'Paragloborotalia' pseudokugleri. For the Neogene Period, major revisions are applied to the fohsellid lineage of the middle Miocene and we have modified the criteria for recognition of Zones M7, M8 and M9, with additional adjustments regarding the Globigerinatella lineage to Zones M2 and M3. The revised and recalibrated datums provide a major advance in biochronologic resolution and a template for future progress to the Cenozoic time scale
Precision location of additively manufactured components using integral kinematic couplings
No full textThesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2018.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 105-109).Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, refers to an increasingly popular set of manufacturing technologies, broadly characterized by selectively adding material to create a component. The benefits of AM include immense design flexibility, the ability to fabricate freeform geometries inaccessible to conventional techniques, and minimal setup and tooling costs, enabling economic production in low quantities. However, all manufacturing techniques have process limitations; commercially viable AM is specifically challenged in achieving accurate form and feature placement, as well as fine surface finishes. This necessitates machining of AM components to achieve tight tolerances, and impedes the ues of as-printed components in precision assemblies. In this thesis, integral kinematic couplings (KCs) are shown to provide precision location of AM components. Maxwell KCs are fabricated using four common AM processes for characterization of their accuracy, repeatability, and stiffness. Modest plastic deformation at the locations of (point) contact between the KC interfaces is shown to average the as-printed surface texture, thereby enabling repeatability on the order of 10 microns. Experimental results are distilled into design rules for application of AM KCs in precision machine design and work holding, including consideration of kinematic geometry, preload, and component characteristics. Finally, application of these guidelines is demonstrated in precision location of optical components, specifically in the construction of a modular Keplerian telescope and modular imaging spectrometer.by Ryan Wade Penny.S.M
