Natural Ecosystems I. The Rocky Mountains

This assessment of climate-change effects on Rocky Mountain terrestrial ecosystems is prepare from information generated by a workshop focused on terrestrial systems of the Rocky Mountains, and held in Boulder, CO, on 29-30 September 2000 at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. It is a compilation of this workshop\u27s discussion along with material from earlier workshops

Riding Off in All Directions: A Few Wild Words in Search of Stephen Leacock

You may wonder why it is that I, who am the author of books with titles such as The Wars and Famous Last Words, Not Wanted on the Voyage and The Last of the Crazy People, am writing in celebration of Stephen Leacock. The name of Leacock, after all, is synonymous with laughter, while my name (if I have one) is synonymous with madness, mayhem, and Armageddon. If the connection between Professor Leacock and myself seems somewhat forced—to say the least—perhaps I can explain. I have been living f..

The design of a fully automated transformer tester

The fully automated transformer tester (FATT) was designed to test the efficiency of thick-film planar transformers in a switch mode power supply environment (flyback converter). LabVIEW is used to automate the test process, including data acquisition and efficiency calculations. The FATT is able to operate over a switching frequency range of 100kHz to 1MHz, has independent duty cycle control, and is capable of dissipating in excess of 100W of power, transferred through the transformers
