Exploratory Measurements in Spiral Turbulence

Interface propagation in mixed laminar-turbulent flow between counter-rotating concentric cylinder

Improved circularly polarized antenna

Antenna includes two sets of linearly polarized elements. Each set contains slots in parallel array. Sets are mutually orthogonal and are driven in phase quadrature. By changing lengths of slots or their separations, antenna beamwidth can be changed over wide range. Similar results are achieved with dipole configuration

Evidence foe superradiance in the recombination from CdTe

Linewidth narrowing attributed to superradiance has been observed in near bandgap radiation due to the recombination of impact ionized carriers in n-type CdTe at room temperature. The light emission was associated with a current breakdown that occurred at a threshold field of 12,000 V/cm in highly compensated n-type samples

Ambiguous Pleasure(ers): Negotiating the Bodies of Falstaff and Moll

The British Early Modern Period was a time of shifting social ideologies where class as well as gender were mapped onto bodies and embedded in the very material conditions of life. But class and gender were not discreet categories with dichotomous definitions like ‘male’ and ‘female’, or ‘nobility’ and ‘peasant’. They had many inbetweens, and the theater was perhaps the most glaring inbetween of all. The theater necessarily complicates definitions and ways of viewing bodies as no body is what they seem. And at the heart of these ambiguous identities lay the fat body. It is consumptive, it is transgressive, and it is sterile. It, much like the theater it is reproduced on, contributes nothing to society of cultural or economic value. It produced only pleasure. And the fat body’s literary inhabitants are the ones (re)producing anxiety and pleasure. Falstaff of Shakespeare’s Henriad and Moll Cutpurse of Thomas Middleton and Dekker’s The Roaring Girl are the problems their respective plays are trying to flatten out

Lost at Sea: An Argument for Seaman Status for Fisheries Observers

This Comment addresses the question of how observers should be classified within the structures of maritime law. Part II discusses the importance of the fisheries observer program, as well as the federal authority that created it. Part III discusses the risks and remedies afforded to those who work upon the high seas and presents the policy reasons for granting observers seaman status. Part IV discusses the judicial debate surrounding this issue and presents the legal reasons for granting observers seaman status. Part V discusses how the reauthorization of the Magnuson Act provides an opportunity to clearly define the observer\u27s legal status. Finally, Part VI concludes that because observers are exposed to the same high rate of injury which plagues traditional seamen, and because observers satisfy the Supreme Court\u27s test for seaman status, observers should be provided the full panoply of remedies available to these traditional maritime employees

Measured distortion of a laminar circular Couette flow by end effects

Measurements at moderately large Reynolds numbers in a finite laminar circular Couette flow show that the tangential motion near the axial plane of symmetry is two-dimensional, within experimental accuracy, but is nevertheless strongly modified by end conditions
