Rejuvenation for Manhattan\u27s West Side

It is the intent of this proposal to redevelop a specific waterfront site, rejuvenating the area into one that people will want to be a part of, rather than shy away from. It will be through thorough exploration and experimentation of this special site condition (pier) that this will be achieved. It is intended that this proposal will develop a catalyst that willl generate further development along the zone of the water\u27s edge. This catalyst will attempt to break away from the form and function of the existing pier buildings, which will make the further development of these sites a more attractive proposition. This proposal will deal with the following issues: 1- The water\u27s edge [...] 2 - The examination, and thorough investigation of past uses of the piers 3 - Dealing with the idea of setting up an example (prototype) for the further development along the water\u27s edge

Bounds on minors of binary matrices

We prove an upper bound on sums of squares of minors of {+1, -1} matrices. The bound is sharp for Hadamard matrices, a result due to de Launey and Levin (2009), but our proof is simpler. We give several corollaries relevant to minors of Hadamard matrices, and generalise a result of Turan on determinants of random {+1,-1} matrices.Comment: 9 pages, 1 table. Typo corrected in v2.

Uniform Pricing or Pay-as-Bid Pricing: A Dilemma for California and Beyond

Any belief that a shift from uniform to as-bid pricing would provide power purchasers substantial relief from soaring prices is simply mistaken. The immediate consequence of its introduction would be a radical change in bidding behavior that would introduce new inefficiencies, weaken competition in new generation, and impede expansion of capacity.Auctions, Electricity Auctions, Multiple Item Auctions

Ukulele Lady

[Verse 1]I saw the splendour of the moonlight On Honolulu BayThere’s something tender in the moonlight, On Honolulu Bay; And all the beachers Are fill of peachersWho brings their “ukes” along,And in the glimmer of the moonlight They love to sing their song. [Verse 2] She used to sing to me by moonlight, On Honolulu Bay, Dond mem’ries cling to me by moonlight,Altho’ I’m far away. Someday I’m going Where eyes are glowingAnd lips are made to kiss, To see somebody in the moonlightAnd hear the song I miss. [Chorus]If you like a Ukulele Lady like a you.If you like to longer where its shady, Ukulele Lady linger too. If you kiss a Ukulele Lady, Will you promise ever to be true? And she see another Ukulele Lady around with you Maybe she’ll sigh, Maybe she’ll cry, Maybe she’ll find somebody else, By and by to sing to, When it’s cool and shady, Where the tricky Wicki Wackies won;If you like a Ukulele Lady, Ukulele Lady like a you

How Protostellar Outflows Help Massive Stars Form

We consider the effects of an outflow on radiation escaping from the infalling envelope around a massive protostar. Using numerical radiative transfer calculations, we show that outflows with properties comparable to those observed around massive stars lead to significant anisotropy in the stellar radiation field, which greatly reduces the radiation pressure experienced by gas in the infalling envelope. This means that radiation pressure is a much less significant barrier to massive star formation than has previously been thought.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, emulateapj, accepted for publication in ApJ Letter
