Speed-dependent collision effects on radar back-scattering from the ionosphere
A computer code to accurately compute the fluctuation spectrum for linearly speed dependent collision frequencies was developed. The effect of ignoring the speed dependence on the estimates of ionospheric parameters was determined. It is shown that disagreements between the rocket and the incoherent scatter estimates could be partially resolved if the correct speed dependence of the i-n collision frequency is not ignored. This problem is also relevant to the study of ionospheric irregularities in the auroral E-region and their effects on the radio communication with satellites
A New Charade Crossword
In the August 1970 and August 1971 Word Ways, Ernst Theimer introduced the charade crossword to readers. The first two paragraphs below, explaining the nature of this puzzle, are repeated from the 1971 article
Speed-dependent collision effects on radar back-scattering from the ionosphere
The question whether the differences between fluctuation spectra for linearly speed-dependent and speed-independent collision frequencies could account for disagreements between rocket and incoherent scatter estimate was addressed. The basic theory used for computing the fluctuation spectrum is outlined. The speed-dependence of the charge-neutral collision frequency is discussed, with special emphasis on its derivation from the mobility measurements. Various developments of the computer code used for the computation of the fluctuation spectrum are described. The range of values of input parameters typical to the collision-dominated ionosphere are briefly described. The computational results are presented, and the significance and limitation of these results and the future scope of the research are discussed
Automatische Handschriftenerkennung in E-Kreide Dokumenten
Dieser Bericht ist die Zusammenfassung der gleichnamigen Bachelorarbeit
[Theimer04]. Beschrieben wird ein System, das Handschrift aus Vorlesungen, die
mit dem elektronischen Tafelsystem E-Kreide aufgezeichnet wurden, zum Zwecke
der Indizierung für Internet Suchmaschinen erkennt. Die Umsetzung erfolgt
unter Nutzung des Microsoft Tablet PC SDKs und der Google Web API. Die
Eingabedaten der Vorlesung werden eingelesen, analysiert und derart
aufbereitet, dass nach Möglichkeit nur einzelne Worte und vor allem keine
Zeichnungen an den Erkenner weitergegeben werden. Nach dem Erkennungsprozess
werden unterschiedliche Methoden zur Selektion falsch erkannter Wörter
angewandt. Im Zuge der Umsetzung eines Generators für Webseiten, die den
automatisch generierten Index einer E-Kreide Vorlesung beinhalten, wurden
zudem Methoden zur Integration der .NET Module mit Java untersucht
One More Charade Crossword
Of all crossword puzzles, I find the charade crossword the most enjoyable. in this type of crossword, the clues do not directly define the word to be found. The word is buried as a charade in a sentence

Another Charade Crossword
In the August 1970 issue of Word Ways, I introduced the reader to the charade crossword puzzle. (Actually, Word Ways readers were introduced to the charade crossword concept even earlier -- see Walter G. Leight\u27s The Cryptic Crossword in the May 1968 issue.
Summary Report 910 Mechanical Clearance Device
The MCV 910, designed for clearing surfaces is a mobile mine clearance device accredited also for the public road traffic. On the rear part it presents a special rotating 4 clearance device, hydraulically operated. The clearance takes place through the rotation movement of the flail, which should, through this action, detonate the mines. When working, the vehicle moves in the opposite direction to road movement and it can be either operated through a computerized automatic pilot steering system or manually using a joystick. The device in object, having two fixed axes, disposes of a pivot steering. The machines gets powered by two identical but independently working 136 kW (185- hp) Perkins turbo inter-cooler engines, one for driving and the other for flailing activity
Translations as Representations of Cultural Bias
A presentation at the American Library Association\u27s Midwinter Conference this presentation discusses how translations are not simply the movement of a resource from the source language to the target language. Transitioning a work into another language necessarily carries with it the bias of the target culture. Bias is demonstrated in different ways. Publishers decide what should and should not get published. Translators decide what should get included in the text to be meet the expectations of the source culture. Translations are often are incompletely described in library catalogs, which further inhibit the users\u27 ability to make an informed choice
