Daily weather direct readout microprocessor study

The work completed included a study of the requirements and hardware and software implementation techniques for NIMBUS ESMR and TWERLE direct readout applications using microprocessors. Many microprocessors were studied for this application. Because of the available Interdata development capabilities, it was concluded that future implementations be on an Interdata microprocessor which was found adequate for the task

Reduction and analysis of data collected during the electromagnetic tornado experiment

Progress is reviewed on the reduction and analysis of tornado data collected on analog tape. The strip chart recording of 7 tracks from all available analog data for quick look analysis is emphasized

ITOS VHRR on-board data compression study

Data compression methods for ITOS VHRR data were studied for a tape recorder record-and playback application. A playback period of 9 minutes was assumed with a nominal 18 minute record period for a 2-to-1 compression ratio. Both analog and digital methods were considered with the conclusion that digital methods should be used. Two system designs were prepared. One is a PCM system and the other is an entropy-coded predictive-quantization, sometimes called entropy-coded DPCM or just DPCM, system. Both systems use data management principles to transmit only the necessary data. Both systems use a medium capacity standard tape recorder from specifications provided by the technical officer. The 10 to the 9th power bit capacity of the recorder is the basic limitation on the compression ratio. Both systems achieve the minimum desired 2 to 1 compression ratio. A slower playback rate can be used with the DPCM system due to a higher compression factor for better link performance at a given CNR in terms of bandwidth utilization and error rate. The report is divided into two parts. The first part summarizes the theoretical conclusions of the second part and presents the system diagrams. The second part is a detailed analysis based upon an empirically derived random process model arrived at from specifications and measured data provided by the technical officer

La thérapie primale : hier et aujourd’hui

L'auteure retrace les origines du cri primal à Charcot et trace le développement de la thérapie régressive jusqu'aux années 70, quand le cri primal de Janov a suscité chez les gens non professionnels la conscience des événements passés qui influencent leur vie ici et maintenant. Comme les gens retournent à leur expérience infantile, quelques-uns trouvent les racines de leur trauma dans des étapes de la naissance – permettant à la communauté thérapeutique de développer la personne complète, comme les niveaux transpersonnels se développent. Le « Realms of the Human unconscious » de Stanislav Grof soutient le concept des quatre étapes de la naissance (BPMI-IV). Dans ce livre, Grof décrit les traumas de ces étapes et leur contrepartie spirituelle comme une importante interconnexion entre la psychologie et la religion, culminant dans la libération de la culpabilité ; ce qui permet le vrai pardon. Finalement, l'importance pour le thérapeute d'être sensible à toutes les facettes de la personne quand il travaille avec elle, et la continuation du travail sur sa propre croissance et conscience, est soulignée.The author[ traces the beginnings of Primal Therapy back to Charcot and follows the development of regressive therapy to the 70's when Janov's "Primal Scream" brought to lay people an awareness of past events that influence their "here and now lives". As people moved back to childhood experiences, some were finding their root traumas in .the birth stages - opening the therapeutic community to develop the whole person as transpersonal levels were experienced. Stanislov Grof s "Realms of the Human Unconscious" advances his concept of the four stages of birth (BPM I-IV), in which he describes the traumas in these stages and their spiritual counterpart as an important intersection between psychology and religion, culminating in release from guilt, permitting true forgiveness. Finally, the importance of the therapist being sensitive to all facets of the person when working with them and continuing work on their lown growth and awarenesses emphasized

Exodus from the Land of Confusion: Why Hughes v. United States Supports the Overruling of the Unworkable Marks Doctrine and a Change in Court Practice

The Marks doctrine was established by the Supreme Court as an earnest attempt to divine binding precedent from fractured decisions that failed to gain support from a majority of the Justices. While well-intentioned, the doctrine has proved to be, at best, difficult, and more often nearly impossible to correctly apply with any degree of certainty. Recently, in Hughes v. United States, the Court had the opportunity to further flesh out the doctrine and provide struggling courts and practitioners guidance when working with the rule’s abstruse mandates. Instead, the Court declined this opportunity. This comment will discuss the development of the doctrine, the challenges that courts have had when working with it, and the doctrine’s ultimate illogicality and unworkability. The Court’s failure in Hughes to further develop the doctrine signifies the beginning of the end. The Marks doctrine more properly belongs in a museum than in contemporary American jurisprudence, and this comment will conclude that the doctrine, along with non-majority opinions in general, should be rendered obsolete and replaced by one, and only one, majority opinion that provides the binding precedent for future courts to follow

My Body, My Temple: The Constitutional Requirement for Religious Exemptions to a COVID-19 Vaccination Mandate

While the COVID-19 crisis has caused many to fear the threat that the virus poses to the health and safety of themselves and their loved ones, for others, and particularly for those with certain religious beliefs, the cure is worse than the disease. The possibility of a government mandated vaccine has caused extreme anxiety for many Americans. In this article, Ben Davisson discusses the constitutionality of mandatory vaccination programs and how such programs may come into conflict with the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.https://scholarship.law.slu.edu/lawjournalonline/1056/thumbnail.jp

The Right to Deregulate: The CFPB’s Authority to Remove the Ability-to-Pay Requirement as it Pertains to Payday Lenders

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is proposing to rescind the rule requiring payday lenders to assess a borrower\u27s ability to repay the loan. This article by Ben Davisson explores the Bureau\u27s authority to rescind its own rule despite the potentially harmful effects on vulnerable low-income consumers.https://scholarship.law.slu.edu/lawjournalonline/1005/thumbnail.jp
