The voices of Ellen Courtenay- the life and work of Ellen Courtenay as Helen Steinberg- poet actress, appeal memoirist and lecturer
This thesis addresses the life and work of Ellen Courtenay (c.1803-1864) and argues - based on documentary evidence - that she did not die in 1837 as has been previously thought but is one and the same person as the itinerant lecturer and poet Madame Helene Steinberg. By connecting the career of Courtenay with that of Steinberg, the project offers a unique and unprecedented investigation of the ways in which a nineteenth-century woman writer and performer negotiated issues of identity, voice and public reputatio
The coral fauna of the Midway Eocene of Texas
The coral fauna of the Midway Eocene of Texas includes thirteen
separate species and varieties. Only two of the species, each represented in a single locality by a single specimen, belong to the
colonial types. The remaining eleven species, containing probably
95 per cent of the specimens, are all of solitary forms. Evidently
the Texas Midway seas did not afford conditions favorable to the
growth of reef-building corals
An overview of NASA intermittent combustion engine research
This paper overviews the current program, whose objective is to establish the generic technology base for advanced aircraft I.C. engines of the early 1990's and beyond. The major emphasis of this paper is on development of the past two years. Past studies and ongoing confirmatory experimental efforts are reviewed, which show unexpectly high potential when modern aerospace technologies are applied to inherently compact and balanced I.C. engine configurations. Currently, the program is focussed on two engine concepts the stratified-charge, multi-fuel rotary, and the lightweight two-stroke diesel. A review is given of contracted and planned high performance one-rotor and one-cylinder test engine work addressing several levels of technology. Also reviewed are basic supporting efforts, e.g., the development and experimental validation of computerized airflow and combustion process models, being performed in-house at Lewis Research Center and by university grants
New Coordinates for the Amplitude Parameter Space of Continuous Gravitational Waves
The parameter space for continuous gravitational waves (GWs) can be divided
into amplitude parameters (signal amplitude, inclination and polarization
angles describing the orientation of the source, and an initial phase) and
phase-evolution parameters. The division is useful in part because the
Jaranowski-Krolak-Schutz (JKS) coordinates on the four-dimensional amplitude
parameter space allow the GW signal to be written as a linear combination of
four template waveforms with the JKS coordinates as coefficients. We define a
new set of coordinates on the amplitude parameter space, with the same
properties, which is more closely connected to the physical amplitude
parameters. These naturally divide into two pairs of Cartesian-like coordinates
on two-dimensional subspaces, one corresponding to left- and the other to
right-circular polarization. We thus refer to these as CPF (circular
polarization factored) coordinates. The corresponding two sets of polar
coordinates (known as CPF-polar) can be related in a simple way to the physical
parameters. We illustrate some simplifying applications for these various
coordinate systems, such as: a calculation of Jacobians between various
coordinate systems; an illustration of the signal coordinate singularities
associated with left- and right-circular polarization, which correspond to the
origins of the two two-dimensional subspaces; and an elucidation of the form of
the log-likelihood ratio between hypotheses of Gaussian noise with and without
a continuous GW signal. These are used to illustrate some of the prospects for
approximate evaluation of a Bayesian detection statistic defined by
marginalization over the physical parameter space. Additionally, in the
presence of simplifying assumptions about the observing geometry, we are able
to explicitly evaluate the integral for the Bayesian detection statistic, and
compare it to the approximate results.Comment: REVTeX, 18 pages, 8 image files included in 7 figure
