Multilayer plated wire shows promise as memory device
Multilayer plated wire memory system surpasses planar thin film memories because of its high speed, simplicity, and high output. The device consists of 5 mil Be-Cu wire plated with Ni-Fe alloy about 1 micron thick crossed orthogonally by word lines
Polynomial Bounds for Invariant Functions Separating Orbits
Consider the representations of an algebraic group G. In general, polynomial
invariant functions may fail to separate orbits. The invariant subring may not
be finitely generated, or the number and complexity of the generators may grow
rapidly with the size of the representation. We instead study "constructible"
functions defined by straight line programs in the polynomial ring, with a new
"quasi-inverse" that computes the inverse of a function where defined. We write
straight line programs defining constructible functions that separate the
orbits of G. The number of these programs and their length have polynomial
bounds in the parameters of the representation.Comment: Clarified proofs, algorithms, and notation. Corrected typo

An artificial life approach to studying niche differentiation in soundscape ecology
Artificial life simulations are an important tool in the study of ecological
phenomena that can be difficult to examine directly in natural environments.
Recent work has established the soundscape as an ecologically important
resource and it has been proposed that the differentiation of animal
vocalizations within a soundscape is driven by the imperative of intraspecies
communication. The experiments in this paper test that hypothesis in a
simulated soundscape in order to verify the feasibility of intraspecies
communication as a driver of acoustic niche differentiation. The impact of
intraspecies communication is found to be a significant factor in the division
of a soundscape's frequency spectrum when compared to simulations where the
need to identify signals from conspecifics does not drive the evolution of
signalling. The method of simulating the effects of interspecies interactions
on the soundscape is positioned as a tool for developing artificial life agents
that can inhabit and interact with physical ecosystems and soundscapes.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, The 2019 Conference on Artificial Lif
Speak, Go Ahead, Speak, Speak : Chamber of Commerce v. Brown\u27s Effect on Employment Speech Regarding Unionization
This case note examines the analysis of the Supreme Court\u27s holding in Chamber of Commerce. v. Brown and the effect the decision will have on the rights of employers to engage in noncoercive speech regarding unionization. Part II discusses the historical lineage of employer free speech guaranteed under the NLRA. Part III denotes the relevant facts and procedural history of the case and issues presented to the Supreme Court. Part IV analyzes both the majority and dissenting opinions regarding NLRA preemption over state regulations prohibiting the expenditure of state funds by employers to deter union organization. Finally, Part V considers the effect this Court\u27s decision will have on unions\u27 legislative initiatives to curtail employer speech and the practical implications of allowing or limiting employer speech regarding representation elections and organization
