Implementation of the FAA research and development electromagnetic database
The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) has been assisting the FAA in developing a database of information about lightning. The FAA Research and Development Electromagnetic Database (FRED) will ultimately contain data from a variety of airborne and ground-based lightning research projects. An outline of the data currently available in FRED is presented. The data sources which the FAA intends to incorporate into FRED are listed. In addition, it describes how the researchers may access and use the FRED menu system

This is the concert program of the A recital of compositions by Fred Broer on Saturday, February 4, 1984 at 5:00 p.m., at the Concert Hall, 855 Commonwealth Avenue. Works performed were the following by Fred Broer: Quartet for Winds, Quintet, Trio for violin, cello, and piano, and String Quartet. Digitization for Boston University Concert Programs was supported by the Boston University Humanities Library Endowed Fund
Fred Zacharias’s Skeptical Moralism
Fred Zacharias\u27s articles, Rethinking Confidentiality, published in two parts, were a sensational start to an illustrious career. Fred conducted the first and one of the best empirical studies of confidentiality in years, surveying lawyers and clients in Tompkins County, New York, about what lawyers actually told clients about confidentiality and its exceptions, and what difference the exceptions made in whether clients withheld information from their lawyers
My Systems Thinking Before and After a Year of Social Systems Sciences
The paper reflects on the following three systems thinking books:
Fred E. Emery & E L Trist. Towards a Social Ecology, Plenum Press, New York, 1973: Due to many references both personal and in print made to Eric Trist, and, to a lesser degree, Fred Emery, I wanted to familiarize myself with their work.
Russell L. Ackoff & Fred E. Emery. On Purposeful Systems, Intersystems, Seaside CA, 1972: I had wanted to read it since having sat in on several sessions of your course in behavioral variables last spring.
Russell L. Ackoff. Creating the Corporate Future, J. Wiley & Sons, New York, 1983: Assigned for the course. I went ahead to read the whole thing in order to get started on our interactive design project, and also to do my own personal idealized design

The Temporal and Spectral Characteristics of "Fast Rise and Exponential Decay" Gamma-Ray Burst Pulses
In this paper we have analyzed the temporal and spectral behavior of 52 Fast
Rise and Exponential Decay (FRED) pulses in 48 long-duration gamma-ray bursts
(GRBs) observed by the CGRO/BATSE, using a pulse model with two shape
parameters and the Band model with three shape parameters, respectively. It is
found that these FRED pulses are distinguished both temporally and spectrally
from those in long-lag pulses. Different from these long-lag pulses only one
parameter pair indicates an evident correlation among the five parameters,
which suggests that at least 4 parameters are needed to model burst
temporal and spectral behavior. In addition, our studies reveal that these FRED
pulses have correlated properties: (i) long-duration pulses have harder spectra
and are less luminous than short-duration pulses; (ii) the more asymmetric the
pulses are the steeper the evolutionary curves of the peak energy () in
the spectrum within pulse decay phase are. Our statistical
results give some constrains on the current GRB models.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures, accepted for publication in the Astrophysical

Dynamic weight parameter for the Random Early Detection (RED) in TCP networks
This paper presents the Weighted Random Early Detection (WTRED) strategy for congestion handling in TCP networks. WTRED provides an adjustable weight parameter to increase the sensitivity of the average queue size in RED gateways to the changes in the actual queue size. This modification, over the original RED proposal, helps gateways minimize the mismatch between average and actual queue sizes in router buffers. WTRED is compared with RED and FRED strategies using the NS-2 simulator. The results suggest that WTRED outperforms RED and FRED. Network performance has been measured using throughput, link utilization, packet loss and delay
