Ionospheric disturbance overview
A program of research and exploratory development was undertaken to assess the potential impact of Satellite Power System operation on the ionosphere. The program relies on the utilization of ground-based ionospheric heating facilities in order to simulate the ionospheric heating that will come from the Satellite Power System. Thus far, the experimental program directed toward assessing telecommunications impacts has received the most attention, and little impact was observed on VLF, LF, and MF operations
Prediction of health levels by remote sensing
Measures of the environment derived from remote sensing were compared to census population/housing measures in their ability to discriminate among health status areas in two urban communities. Three hypotheses were developed to explore the relationships between environmental and health data. Univariate and multiple step-wise linear regression analyses were performed on data from two sample areas in Houston and Galveston, Texas. Environmental data gathered by remote sensing were found to equal or surpass census data in predicting rates of health outcomes. Remote sensing offers the advantages of data collection for any chosen area or time interval, flexibilities not allowed by the decennial census
Remote sensing utility in a disaster struck urban environment
Six major public health areas which might be affected by a natural disaster were identified. The functions and tasks associated with each area following a disaster, potential ways remote sensing could aid these functions, and the baseline data which would expedite problem solving associated with these functions are discussed
A Global Hypothesis for Women in Journalism and Mass Communications: The Ratio of Recurrent and Reinforced Residuum
This paper examines the status of women in communications industries and on university faculties. It specifically tests the Ratio of Recurrent and Reinforced Residuum or R3 hypothesis, as developed by Rush in the early 1980s [Rush, Buck & Ogan,1982]. The R3 hypothesis predicts that the percentage of women in the communications industries and on university faculties will follow the ratio residing around 1/4:3/4 or 1/3:2/3 proportion females to males. This paper presents data from a nationwide U.S. survey and compares them to data from global surveys and United Nations reports. The evidence is overwhelming and shows the relevance and validity of the R3 hypothesis across different socio-economic and cultural contexts. The paper argues that the ratio is the outcome of systemic discrimination that operates at multiple levels. The obstacles to achieving equality in the academy as well as media industries are discussed and suggestions for breaking out of the R3 ratio are included.

Classical-quantum correspondence in bosonic two-mode conversion systems: polynomial algebras and Kummer shapes
Bosonic quantum conversion systems can be modeled by many-particle
single-mode Hamiltonians describing a conversion of molecules of type A
into molecules of type B and vice versa. These Hamiltonians are analyzed in
terms of generators of a polynomially deformed algebra. In the
mean-field limit of large particle numbers, these systems become classical and
their Hamiltonian dynamics can again be described by polynomial deformations of
a Lie algebra, where quantum commutators are replaced by Poisson brackets. The
Casimir operator restricts the motion to Kummer shapes, deformed Bloch spheres
with cusp singularities depending on and . It is demonstrated that the
many-particle eigenvalues can be recovered from the mean-field dynamics using a
WKB type quantization condition. The many-particle state densities can be
semiclassically approximated by the time-periods of periodic orbits, which show
characteristic steps and singularities related to the fixed points, whose
bifurcation properties are analyzed.Comment: 13 pages, 13 figure
A Neural Attention Model for Abstractive Sentence Summarization
Summarization based on text extraction is inherently limited, but
generation-style abstractive methods have proven challenging to build. In this
work, we propose a fully data-driven approach to abstractive sentence
summarization. Our method utilizes a local attention-based model that generates
each word of the summary conditioned on the input sentence. While the model is
structurally simple, it can easily be trained end-to-end and scales to a large
amount of training data. The model shows significant performance gains on the
DUC-2004 shared task compared with several strong baselines.Comment: Proceedings of EMNLP 201
