    MODERATED BY PROFESSOR MARGARET E. JOHNSON The following is an adaptation of the Dialogue that took place on the campus of the University of Baltimore School of Law during the 2012 Applied Feminism and Democracy: 2012 Feminist Legal Theory Conference, on March 2, 2012. In an effort to present this dialogue in an academically appealing manner, minor formatting and grammatical adaptations were made, while maintaining the substance of the Dialogue. -EDS

    Biographical NoteBarbara Ann Mikulski was born on July 20, 1936, and grew up in the Highlandtown neighborhood of East Baltimore, Maryland. She attended Mount Saint Agnes College and received her M.S.W. from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. She became a social worker, community organizer, and Baltimore city councilor, and she made an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate in 1974 before winning election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1976. After serving in the House for ten years, she ran for the U.S. Senate in 1986, becoming the first elected woman Democratic U.S. senator. She has won numerous re-elections and continued to serve in the Senate as its longest-serving female senator at the time of this interview. SummaryInterview includes discussion of: Mikulski’s run for the Senate in 1986 and Mitchell’s DSCC role in supporting her campaign; Mitchell dancing with Mikulski at a fund raiser; Mikulski’s reception in the Senate as a female senator; Mikulski-Mitchell ‘spousal impoverishment’ amendment; committee assignments during Mikulski’s first term; women in Congress; DSCC Women’s Senate Network; women’s issues worth legislating and fighting for in the Senate; Mitchell’s qualities as a leader; common constituent interests among ‘coastal senators;’ NAFTA; how Mitchell related to women; Mikulski’s reaction to Mitchell’s retirement from the Senate; Mitchell’s legacy as Senate leader

    IDENTIFICATION OF A BACKLASH ZONE IN AN ELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEM CONTAINING CHANGES OF A MASS INERTIA MOMENT BASED ON A WAVELET–NEURAL METHOD

    Get PDF
    In this article a new method of identification of a backlash zone width in a structure of an electromechanical system has been presented. The results of many simulations in a tested model of a complex electromechanical system have been taken while changing a value of a reduced masses inertia moment on a shaft of an induction motor drive. A wavelet analysis of tested signals and analysis of weights that have been obtained during a neural network supervised learning - have been applied in a diagnostic algorithm. The proposed algorithm of detection of backlash zone width, represents effective diagnostic method of a system at changing dynamic conditions, occurring also as a result of mass inertia moment changes

    et al., L. Williams et al.), with the red overlays indicating the degree of lensing magnification. Differences in the detailed structure of the models reflect different approaches used by the different teams, while their overall similarity across the cluster field is highly encouraging for their use in determining the properties of lensed background galaxies. The Barbara A. Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) is one of NASA’s premier astronomy data centers, along with the High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) and the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive (IRSA). MAST is the primary archive repository for data from several large, active space missions (Hubble, Kepler, XMM-OM and Swift-UVOT), legacy data from past missions (GALEX, FUSE, IUE, EUVE, and others), planned data from future missions, such as James Webb Space Telescope, and all-sky surveys such as VLA-FIRST, GSC and DSS. MAST supports the scientific research carried out by the astronomical community by facilitating access to its collections, offering expert user support and software for calibration and analysis, and providing value-added scientific data products. These include high-level science products (HLSPs) such as mosaics, catalogs, and spectra delivered to MAST by science teams, as well as enhanced products accessible via the Hubble Legacy Archive (HLA). As of March 2014, the total volume of MAST’s data holdings was approximately 296 terabytes (TB), with an average of 18 TB of data downloaded per month. Current MAST news and updates are continuously posted on our main archive sit
