(excerpt)
Chlorochlamys chloroleucaria (Guenée) is a common moth of eastern North America, recorded from Nova Scotia south to Cuba and Mexico and as far west as Manitoba, the Black Hills of South Dakota, Wyoming and central Colorado (Boulder and El Paso counties) (Ferguson 1985)
Notes on implementation of sparsely distributed memory
The Sparsely Distributed Memory (SDM) developed by Kanerva is an unconventional memory design with very interesting and desirable properties. The memory works in a manner that is closely related to modern theories of human memory. The SDM model is discussed in terms of its implementation in hardware. Two appendices discuss the unconventional approaches of the SDM: Appendix A treats a resistive circuit for fast, parallel address decoding; and Appendix B treats a systolic array for high throughput read and write operations
Naive Noncommutative Blowing Up
Let B(X,L,s) be the twisted homogeneous coordinate ring of an irreducible
variety X over an algebraically closed field k with dim X > 1. Assume that c in
X and s in Aut(X) are in sufficiently general position. We show that if one
follows the commutative prescription for blowing up X at c, but in this
noncommutative setting, one obtains a noncommutative ring R=R(X,c,L,s) with
surprising properties. In particular:
(1) R is always noetherian but never strongly noetherian.
(2) If R is generated in degree one then the images of the R-point modules in
qgr(R) are naturally in (1-1) correspondence with the closed points of X.
However, both in qgr(R) and in gr(R), the R-point modules are not parametrized
by a projective scheme.
(3) qgr R has finite cohomological dimension yet H^1(R) is infinite
dimensional.
This gives a more geometric approach to results of the second author who
proved similar results for X=P^n by algebraic methods.Comment: Latex, 42 page
Geometric algebras on projective surfaces
Let X be a projective surface, let \sigma be an automorphism of X, and let L
be a \sigma-ample invertible sheaf on X. We study the properties of a family of
subrings, parameterized by geometric data, of the twisted homogeneous
coordinate ring B(X, L, \sigma). In particular, we find necessary and
sufficient conditions for these subrings to be noetherian. We also study their
homological properties, their associated noncommutative projective schemes, and
when they are maximal orders. In the process, we produce new examples of
maximal orders; these are graded and have the property that no Veronese subring
is generated in degree 1.
Our results are used in a companion paper to give defining data for a large
class of noncommutative projective surfaces.Comment: 39 pages; v2 results largely unchanged, but notation describing
algebras revised significantly. As a result details of many proofs have
changed, and statements of some results. To appear in Journal of Algebr
Propagation of Errors for Matrix Inversion
A formula is given for the propagation of errors during matrix inversion. An
explicit calculation for a 2 by 2 matrix using both the formula and a Monte
Carlo calculation are compared. A prescription is given to determine when a
matrix with uncertain elements is sufficiently nonsingular for the calculation
of the covariances of the inverted matrix elements to be reliable.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures, figure 4 contains two eps file
Yucca Mountain Saturated Zone Carbon-14
This Scientific Investigation Plan (SIP) provides an overview of the work described in “Yucca Mountain Saturated Zone Carbon-14”, a proposal funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Repository Development under the UCCSN/YMP Co-op in support of the Science and Technology Initiatives. The objective of this work is to provide improved estimates of the time required for ground water to travel from the site of the proposed high-level radioactive waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, to the accessible environment
Cable Television Update-Capital Cities Cable, Inc. v. Crisp: Federalism and Frustration of Powers
The Supreme Court of the United States recently stunned the cable television industry with its decision in Capital Cities Cable, Inc. v. Crisp. The immediate result of the ruling was to preempt a state statute prohibiting the advertisement of certain alcoholic beverages; however, the decision\u27s potential impact could be much broader. The Court unanimously held cable television regulation to be the exclusive domain of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and an area that the Commission has explicitly pre-empted. Thus, the decision extends broad regulatory authority to the FCC at the expense of local control

Groundwater Flow and Thermal Modeling to Support a Preferred Conceptual Model for the Large Hydraulic Gradient North of Yucca Mountain
This task will create a two-dimensional, saturated zone, vertical cross-section model of groundwater flow and thermal transport through the large hydraulic gradient (LHG). This model is referenced herein as the thermal model. The scope of this study is limited to presenting a postulated hydrogeologic configuration of the LHG. The conceptualization will include the use of postulated hydrogeologic structures and material properties. The thermal model will be spatially limited to the area immediately upgradient and downgradient of the LHG and will not reproduce the many hydrogeologic features of the existing regional and site-scale models. The thermal model will be orientated north to south, approximately along a saturated zone streamline. The results of the thermal modeling will be compared to temperature data reported for site wells by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and in peer-reviewed journals. Most, if not all, of this reported data is non- qualified. This task will not qualify the reported data and the reported data will be used only as a basis of comparison for the model simulations
