Single-frequency synthesis at telecommunication wavelengths
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 6, pp. 4890-4896 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (404 KB)
We report an optical single-frequency synthesizer at the 1.55 μm telecommunications band. Output from a continuous-wave external cavity diode laser is frequency doubled and phase locked to a predetermined component of a Ti:S laser frequency comb. The synthesizer is capable of generating a single user-specified frequency from an atomic time base within the 192–196 THz gain bandwidth of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier. By tuning the repetition rate of the femtosecond laser the synthesized optical frequency can be swept with sub-kilohertz step size. Frequency sweeps of several GHz are realized by automatically re-locking the diode laser to adjacent comb components during frequency sweep. We demonstrate the operation of the device by presenting results of Doppler-free spectroscopy on acetylene using synthesized frequencies.

A new study looking at the potential health benefits of organic versus non-organic food found that fruit flies fed an organic diet recorded better health outcomes than flies fed a nonorganic diet.
The study from the lab of SMU biologist Johannes H. Bauer, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, found that fruit flies raised on diets of organic foods performed better on several tests for general health.
"While these findings are certainly intriguing, what we now need to determine is why the flies on the organic diets did better, especially since not all the organic diets we tested provided the same positive health outcomes," said Bauer, principal investigator for the study.
Fruit flies on organic diets showed improvements on the most significant measures of health, namely fertility and longevity, said high school student researcher Ria Chhabra.
"We don't know why the flies on the organic diet did better. That will require further research. But this is a start toward understanding potential health benefits," said Chhabra, a student at Clark High School in Plano, Texas, who led the experiment.
Chhabra sought to conduct the experiments after hearing her parents discuss whether it's worth it to buy organic foods to achieve possible health benefits.
Bauer, an assistant professor in SMU's Department of Biological Sciences, mentored Chhabra by helping guide and design her research experiments. The research focus of Bauer's fruit fly lab is nutrition and its relationship to longevity, health and diabetes.
"It's rare for a high school student to have such a prominent position in the lab. But Ria has tremendous energy and curiosity, and that convinced me to give this research project a try," Bauer said.
The findings, "Organically grown food provides health benefits to Drosophila melanogaster," have been published in the open access journal PLOS One. Buaer and Chhabra co-authored the

Retro Scene Mag
Or maybe it should be titled 'How one thread changed the retro world'. Rmad is fond of his time machine, mine isn't quite as good, more of a Bond Bug than a Deloreon, so it doesn't go back as far. However that being said it can take you to a vastly different time, a time when the term Bosozoku was virtually unknown, an innocent time.
Today I will give you the story of how one thread changed the retro scene. All the way back in April 2004 there was a thriving Japanese car scene quietly grooving along doing its own thing. In the US this centred around the Datsun 510, which had a legacy from motorsport over there. In Europe the 240Z and 260Z had its fans and there was a small but dedicated following for other Datsuns. The Toyota AE86 was growing in popularity and value world wide off the back of the rising interest in drifting. So there was already a ground swell of interest in Japanese cars, which was starting to float into the general consciousness of the regular retro fan.
If left like this then I have no doubt that interest would have gradually risen. Something else happened. A couple of days into 2004 someone went to a car meeting in a service stop at Diakoku in Yokohama, Japan, and they took some photos, four months later they put up a thread on VWvortex to show off his pictures. That was all, but it was everything. Here is that thread : http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1364258&page=1 titled : I'm back Part IV - Old School JDM-ness at Daikoku and even Bosozoku!!! (56k, go make a sandwich) The thread contained images of cars that a lot of people had never seen before, what's more it contained images of cars modified in a style that even more people had never seen before. Some were amazed, some fascinated, some disgusted. Everyone had a reaction. VWvortex has a popular forum, a very popular forum, but the posting on there alone wouldn't have been enough to spark a fire of interest across the scene. What happened next was that this thread gradually filtered out and got linked to on other forums and blogs. Suddenly every forum you went into had this link, from Australia to the Ukraine, VW forums, Japanese car forums, drift forums, Alfa Romeo forums. It was everywhere.
Suitably inspired people went off to find out what it was all about, to find more pictures of this type of car. Each gallery discovered heralded more links to explore and fish our way around, clicking on everything because we couldn't speak Japanese. In addition to finding more picture of Bosozoku style cars a lot of people also discovered the more restrained style of modifications, what is commonly called shakotan style, so started posting those up, particularly when people were ridiculing the bosozoku style.
Each time these things got posted they often required a little explination and soon the scene became aware of terms like bosozoku, grachan (originally incorrectly called garuchan), shakotan and even decotora. Suitably inspired people have started building rides in this style outside of Japan. Other people had their eyes drawn to the shakotan style cars and have gone out and bought cars to build. The general profile of older Japanese cars has risen and the speed of its rise can, at least in part, be attributed to a single thread.
So next time you are out and about taking photos of interesting things, you never know what fire you might spark! The original directory of images is here as well as a second set here

So so true. I remember discovering the vortex post and being so amazed and inspired, it was so contradictory to the post Fast&Furious anti rice climate but these guys were going crazy with thier cars and having fun with it. It was so refreshing to see enthusiasts not taking themselves so seriously and being artisitic. It definately changed the way I viewed the import secene. Excellent post guys!
21/05/2008 23:02:18 #
Thanks for the compliment. For me it really was a jump off into a whole new world, as a direct result of viewing that thread I ended up standing in the middle of a car show in Japan a couple of years ago.

So, searching Google for my screen name, I found this post. Thanks for the credit... Indeed, after I posted that, the SoCal scene rapidly picked up the style (old Japanese cars - Cressidas, etc. - were being snapped up, with flares, oil coolers and low-offset wheels added). 4 years after the post, I myself just picked up an MX83 Cressida with over-fenders and low-offset wheels as a project last weekend to go along with my DR30 Nissan Skyline RS Turbo project... Pictures are up in The Car Lounge, which you can link to via VWVortex's forums. Once again, thanks for credit!

New Technology
Microsoft's Windows Vista was greeted by consumers and businesses with little enthusiasm—the operating system (OS) was blamed for software crashes and slowing down PCs, and some businesses decided to skip upgrading to it. Microsoft sought to repair both the technical and public-relations damage. Much of the technical problem was related to the need for new drivers, the computer software that made equipment work with Vista. Battered by a successful Apple advertising campaign based largely on Vista's alleged unpopularity, Microsoft began talking about future versions of Windows less than two years after Vista's introduction. Details remained sketchy, but a successor OS tentatively called Windows 7 was expected to be commercially released in 2009 or 2010. Another new version of Windows, rumoured to be called Windows Strata, was expected to emphasize cloud computing.
Google introduced its first Web browser, Chrome, to compete with Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox. The introduction of Chrome brought Google into another level of competition with Microsoft; the two companies already clashed in the areas of Web search, Internet advertising, cell-phone operating systems, productivity software (such as spreadsheets), and Web-based e-mail. The Google browser also was seen as another step in Google's transition to Web-based applications software.
The netbook, or nettop—a tiny no-frills computer for Web browsing and light computing—gained popularity with prices as low as $300. It was a commercialized version of the low-cost PC that the nonprofit organization One Laptop per Child developed for use in less-developed countries, and more than 20 models had become available. Netbooks were not suited to tasks such as editing photos or watching high-definition video and had limited storage space because they used small disk drives or relied on small quantities of flash memory. Advocates said that they were less expensive and lighter than laptops; critics said that they were overpriced for their limitations and ran too slowly. Research firm Gartner predicted that as netbooks became more advanced, they would begin to take some sales away from laptops; it said that netbook shipments could climb from 5.2 million in 2008 to as many as 50 million by 2012.
The ongoing battle between Sony's Blu-ray and Toshiba's HD DVD formats for high-definition discs appeared to come to an end in February when Toshiba announced that it was abandoning the format that it had developed. In January Warner Brothers—the last major studio to support both formats—had announced that it would be using only the Blu-ray format, and major retailers had said that they would stop selling HD DVD players and movies. By year's end streaming video over the Internet and other online delivery methods were hindering Blu-ray DVD sales, which still lagged far behind those of standard DVD movies.
Apple's iPod continued to dominate the digital music player market. Although there were many alternative players with much smaller market shares, Microsoft's Zune was seen as the only competitor trying to add new features at the same rate as Apple. By late 2008 Apple had added to various iPod models a feature that readjusted the picture on an iPod's screen for vertical or horizontal viewing, depending on which way the player was held. The feature made use of an accelerometer, and on a new iPod Nano model, the device also allowed the user to shake the device to change songs. The Zune had Wi-Fi capabilities that allowed a user to listen to songs streamed from its online site or to purchase songs and download them. The Zune also had a built-in FM radio, and a user could tag a song heard on the radio for later purchase.
Another way to purchase music was introduced during the year, but it was unclear whether it would be a hit. SanDisk, which made computer-chip-based flash memory for computers, cellular telephones, cameras, music players, and keychain-sized flash drives, said that it would issue music albums on a microSD flash memory card that was designed to fit into a cellular telephone or digital music player. The card then provided the music-player software in the device with prerecorded songs. The initiative, called slotMusic, would provide a USB-port adapter so that the card could also be read by a computer.
Seagate Technology, one of the world's largest manufacturers of disk-drive data-storage devices, said that it would develop products using flash memory, a competing technology that had the advantage of having no moving parts to break or wear out but the disadvantage of being more expensive. The worldwide demand for disk drives continued to grow, however, and Seagate predicted that the drives would be vitally important for years to come.
Google, Microsoft, and other firms worked with medical companies to create computerized health records. The idea was that electronic records would be under the control of consumers rather than doctors, hospitals, or insurance companies. The personal health care records would be portable between health care providers or insurance companies in different parts of the country. Microsoft began a pilot project with Kaiser Permanente, the largest American nonprofit health maintenance organization.
The search continued for a handheld electronic reading device, or e-reader, that could take the place of printed books or printed newspapers. Because newspapers were increasingly being viewed online, several e-readers that sought to make reading Internet news easier gained attention in 2008. Among them were the iRex Digital Reader 1000, the Amazon Kindle, and the Sony Reader, all costing several hundred dollars. Key considerations for the wireless devices were weight, battery life, screen size, and the ability to read the screen even in bright light (a difficult task with most portable computer screens).
According to research firm Gartner, there were more than one billion personal computers in use in the world in 2008. Given the current growth rate, it was estimated that there would be two billion PCs in use by 2014, the firm said. About 58% of the world's PCs were located in mature PC markets such as the U.S., Western Europe, and Japan, even though those areas had only 15% of the world's population.

My Interests
I'm interested in designing and constructing basic modules for life. I aim to implement functions of higher organisms in bacteria and ultimately to implement modules of life in free cell systems endowing vesicles with properties associated with living systems. The successful construction of such devices would allow us to establish whether or not the basic elements necessary for natural processes are complete and well understood and even reveal gaps in our current understanding of living systems.

DNC: Dean - Democrats Show Why Americans Trust Them to Keep the Country Safe
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement after Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid signed a bill that implements the recommendations of the 9-11 Commission and makes our country safer and more secure:
"Democrats have again kept their promise to the American people and showed why Americans trust them to keep the country safe," Dean said. "Even with Republicans blocking them every step of the way, Democrats implemented the recommendations of the bipartisan 9-11 Commission. President Bush and his Republican allies wasted years playing politics with our security. Republicans ignored these recommendations, letting Al Qaeda rebuild while they chose instead to focus on Bush's war of choice in Iraq . But the American people have had enough. They hired Democrats in November to reverse years of Republicans' failed policies, and once again Democrats have delivered for America."

To the editor: I think our library, and the other libraries in Kentucky, do an outstanding job. Joining with other libraries in the area, we have access to most any information we may need. And, the price is very low. Perhaps you disagree with the method of taxation, with the amount, and certainly with retention of reserves. But the library does operate well, serves a need in the community and deserves our support. I hope you visit the library often to observe the operation and the number of patrons served.
Ronnie Allen Dennis, 51, of Salvisa died March 25, 2013 at his residence. He was raised by his grandparents the late Andrew Earl and Pearl C. Rogers. Ronnie was an avid gardener and enjoyed movies and spending time with his grandchildren. He was a graduate of Western High School and formerly worked as an ATM balancer for Farmer's Bank in Frankfort.
To the editor: Pension problem solved? Not by a long shot, the revised Senate Bill 2 did soften the language on cost of living adjustments, taking it from no cost of living adjustment ever to if surplus funds are available. That means if assets are above 100 percent of the actuarial liabilities, cost of living adjustments could return. This actually means no cost of living adjustments ever again, in nicer words.
To the editor: David Lanius stated that Adam's sins did not separate him (David Lanius) from God in the "Adam's Sins and Mine" on the Faith page of The Anderson News in the March 13 edition. And that though the consequences of Adam's sins was that sin entered the world, we don't inherit Adam's sins (I use the plural only because Mr. Lanius did.) Sin is not sin. I also find it disingenuous that he would use inherited sin rather than imputed sin.
To the editor: The evolution of politicians to public liars is the only real threat to America. Al-Qaeda and the other manufactured threats that keep our tax dollars flowing to the "military industrial complex" are strictly kindergarten compared to our politicians. Nowadays, they even dramatize their lies with props.
To the editor: Our family would like to extend to the streets and roads crews a well overdue thank you to all of the workers who keep our roads safe and clear of ice and snow. Although we haven't had much this winter, it is always a comfort to see a snow plow going up the road after bad weather. Although we live in the county, we believe the city streets are done just the same. These workers don't get the thanks they deserve, but we want them to know how much their work means to us. God bless, and keep up the great work.
To the editor: What happened to the recycling idea? We haven't heard anything about it lately. I hope the fiscal court and Judge-Executive John Wayne Conway stick to their guns on this project because I think it is a good idea. All it needs is some of the rough edges worked off of it. Instead of fussing and cussing our elected officials, we need to look at and study the projects they come up with and, when they come up with a good project like this, we need to support them in any way we can. That, in my view, is what makes things work.
To the editor: I was repulsed, if not surprised, to learn of the recent founding of the Lawrenceburg Junior Cotillion. The establishment of the Junior Cotillion presents a fine example of the perpetuation of archaic mentalities that have left the South falling behind the rest of the country for the past century. The history of the cotillion is a nauseating one, marked most notably by the desire of the Southern elite to flaunt their wealth and by the tradition of objectifying women and teaching them how to "behave."
To the editor: The Senate hearing on Benghazi was a microcosm of the gross ineptness that has led America to the brink of moral and financial ruin. Democrats and Republicans alike showed little real interest in unveiling the truth.
To the editor: To the editor: I would like to respond to the letters addressing my piece that appeared in the Jan. 23 edition of The Anderson News. Thanks very much to the Christian's response to my article about gun sense and extremists. I submit to the public my position concerning religious extremists is substantiated by the letters. The religious right, through its own solipsism, ethnocentrism, fear and intimidation impedes democracy by authoritarian dominance and believe the so-called sinners should be dominated by the righteous.

Photonic XOR with inherent loss compensation mechanism for memory cell implementation in a standard nanoscale very large-scale integrated fabrication process |
Optics Letters, Vol. 38, Issue 9, pp. 1473-1475 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (355 KB)
A multilayer photonic XOR gate is presented. The XOR is implemented by the interconnect layers of a microelectronic chip and is suitable for fabrication in a standard VLSI fabrication process. The proposed device features an inherent insertion loss compensation mechanism by utilization of nanometric holes, making it possible to implement an optic memory cell without the need of additional complex compensation devices. The structure of such a memory cell, implemented by utilization of two proposed XOR gates, configured to perform the NOT function, is shown. The unique structure of the proposed device allows us to significantly reduce sensitivity to process variations and therefore makes it possible to utilize the memory cell in state-of-the-art nanoscale processes. The proposed memory can be integrated with conventional electronics on the same VLSI chip.

Pearl Harbor Survivors Association
The Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, founded in 1958 and recognized by the United States Congress in 1985,[1] is an organization whose members were at or in the vicinity of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii during the Japanese attack of December 7, 1941.
Motto: "Remember Pearl Harbor--Keep America Alert-- Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty."[2]
The group holds a congressional charter under Title 36 of the United States Code.
The first meeting of what would become the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association took place on December 7, 1954 at the Del Camino Room in Gardena, California where several survivors of the attack gathered to remember their fallen comrades and dear friends. It was at this first meeting that those in attendance swore that they would make the commemoration an annual event. At the official founding dinner in 1958, the eleven survivors who were present at the 1954 meeting were proclaimed the Founding Fathers of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association. Those eleven survivors were: Mark Ferris, Ed Steffa, Samuel Kronberger, Edward Kronberger, Robert Kronberger, George Haines Jr., Raymond LeBer, James C. Taneyhill, Clarence Bonn, George Schafer, and Louis P. Smith. Following the 1958 meeting, the members began searching for other military survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack. The first organized convention was held at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California where over 300 survivors joined in commemoration of the event. Over 1,000 survivors attended the convention held at the Lafayette Hotel in Long Beach California December 7 1962. At this meeting, the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association constitution was presented and ratified by the members. Mark Ferris was the association's first National President. The organization was incorporated under the laws of the State of California and the PHSA National Insignia was registered in Washington DC.[3]
During the 70th Anniversary Ceremony, the President of the association, William Muehleib, announced that due to the ages and health of the membership the executive board had decided to terminate the corporate association as of December 31, 2011.[4]

At the U.S. Naval Academy, in Alumni Hall, a wall is reserved by the Association to commemorate those who were killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The new aircraft will replace 34 of the airline's longhaul fleet and will be delivered between 2010 and 2014. The order, including options, will give the airline the ability to grow its capacity by up to four per cent per year and the flexibility to tailor its future capacity growth in line with market conditions.
The aircraft will be greener, quieter and more fuel efficient with significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions and reduced impact on local air quality. This was a key consideration in the order.
Willie Walsh, British Airways' chief executive, said: "This is an exciting day for British Airways with our largest fleet order since 1998. It's great news for our business, our customers and the environment.
"These aircraft set the gold standard when it comes to environmental performance in the key areas of CO2 emissions, local air quality and noise. They will contribute significantly to our target of improving fuel efficiency by 25 per cent between 2005 and 2025.
"They are also much quieter than their predecessors, which is of vital importance at Heathrow. Both the A380 and B787 are rated as producing a quarter of the noise level of the B747-400.
- These new aircraft will continue our commitment to deliver the best travel experience to our customers. This order builds upon our recent investment in improving the customer experience through Terminal 5, the new Club World cabin, inflight entertainment system and ba.com."
The new aircraft types will enable the airline to strengthen further its network strategy, complementing each other in the longhaul fleet. The A380 will be used to provide more capacity for the airline's key high-density markets and maximise use of scarce Heathrow slots. The B787 will be used to start new routes and increase frequencies in existing markets.
Both aircraft bring significant economic benefits with lower costs per seat. They are both long range aircraft and bring more flexibility in to the fleet as, unlike the B767 that they replace, they can be flown across the airline's network.British Airways will continue to consider the most suitable aircraft to replace its remaining B747-400 aircraft and is examining the B787-10, B777-300 ER and A350XWB.
The airline has arranged for a group of banks to provide $1.5 billion of debt financing to cover all of the airline's firm orders to the end of 2011

In December
In December, I gazed at the Christmas tree with all of the beautiful colorful lights on it. I could make out the sound of Santa's sleigh bells jingling on my roof.
In December, I smacked my lips as I took the last bite of my homemade chocolate chip cookie hot out of the oven.
In December, I felt the cold breeze hit my face when I opened the door to go outside.
In December, my stomach growled as I saw all of those sweet dishes on the table.
December is the best time of the year!

IL: Commuter Challenge Off to Great Start
The Regional Transportation Authority and the Active Transportation Alliance issued a challenge to northeastern Illinois commuters last month and nearly 700 commuters and more than 30 companies rose to the challenge.
The contest, aimed at reducing single car occupancy and increasing healthier modes of travel such as transit and biking, challenged commuters to track their travel to see how they can reduce pollution, lead a healthier lifestyle and consider leaving their cars at home regularly. At least 681 individual commuters and 35 companies collectively logged more than 6,800 trips, saving 4,000 gallons of gas. That's a $21,000 savings for the month of December.
Each participant played their role in protecting the environment by preventing more than 40 tons of carbon dioxide fumes from being emitted into the air.
"We're very excited about how this contest has engaged our regular transit riders and encouraged other commuters to leave their cars at home and opt for another form of transportation," said Joe Costello, RTA executive director. "This contest has proven to be not just beneficial to the health of all of our riders but to our environment and further supports the need for us to invest in our transit system to ensure commuters continue to have a reliable mode of transportation."
Thirty-five companies participated in the Challenge, TransitWorks, which ran from Dec. 1-7. Companies competed against other companies based on their size and category and the company with the highest percentage of employees logging the most eligible forms of commuting miles won. Walking, car and van pooling are all travel modes promoted as alternatives to driving alone in addition to transit and biking.
Each winning team received public recognition, a virtual winner's certificate, and the satisfaction of being the healthiest and greenest workplace in northeastern Illinois.

I'd say it's nearer a 4 star than a 3; a good read, well written and plotted and the characters are pretty well drawn, with the protagonist very well fleshed out. Talty is a new author to me, and I'll read more of him, I'm sure. Good start, but then gets too cute by a half and goes off the rails trying to create more suspense. Gets ridiculously implausible for a detective story. Okay, I'm from Buffalo, so I enjoyed this noir version of my hometown. While I liked the writing and the detective's character, I found the plot completely ridiculous. I'm not a regular mystery-reader (or even a detective-show watcher) so I'm not familiar with serial-killer tropes, but I found the social and psychological aspects of this novel completely unbelievable and untenable. I was disappointed by this book. I don't recall where I saw something about it, but it sounded like something I would like. But, I found the story to be strained and unbelievable at times, and the characters one-dimentional. Since I went to school in Buffalo, I did like that it is located there. I recognized some of the locations and street names, anyway. I haven't been back to Buffalo in a long time, so it was good to see some of these locations in my head, and to try and remember what others looked like. no reviews | add a review
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in EnglishNone Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345538064, Hardcover)In this explosive debut thriller by the New York Times bestselling author of Empire of Blue Water, a brilliant homicide detective returns home, where she confronts a city's dark demons and her own past while pursuing a brutal serial killer on a vengeful rampage.Absalom "Abbie" Kearney grew up an outsider in her own hometown. Even being the adopted daughter of a revered cop couldn't keep Abbie's troubled past from making her a misfit in the working-class Irish American enclave of South Buffalo. And now, despite a Harvard degree and a police detective's badge, she still struggles to earn the respect and trust of those she's sworn to protect. But all that may change, once the killing starts. When Jimmy Ryan's mangled corpse is found in a local church basement, this sadistic sacrilege sends a bone-deep chill through the winter-whipped city. It also seems to send a message—one that Abbie believes only the fiercely secretive citizens of the neighborhood known as "the County" understand. But in a town ruled by an old-world code of silence and secrecy, her search for answers is stonewalled at every turn, even by fellow cops. Only when Abbie finds a lead at the Gaelic Club, where war stories, gossip, and confidences flow as freely as the drink, do tongues begin to wag—with desperate warnings and dire threats. And when the killer's mysterious calling card appears on her own doorstep, the hunt takes a shocking twist into her own family's past. As the grisly murders and grim revelations multiply, Abbie wages a chilling battle of wits with a maniac who sees into her soul, and she swears to expose the County's hidden history—one bloody body at a time. With Black Irish, Stephen Talty stakes a place beside Jo Nesbø, John Sandford, and Tana French on the cutting edge of psychological crime thrillers. Advance praise for Black Irish "Abbie Kearney is one of the most intriguing new suspense protagonists in memory, and Black Irish marks the captivating start of a brilliant thriller series."—Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of Last to Die "A memorable story of betrayal and vengeance."—Publishers Weekly (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:00:55 -0400) Returning to the working-class Irish-American community of her childhood in South Buffalo, homicide detective Absalom Kearney begins receiving cryptic messages from a twisted serial killer only to find her investigation stymied by her own colleagues.

Mulholland, A. J. and Walker, A. J. (2011) Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers with fractal geometry. Fractals, 19 (4). pp. 469-479. ISSN 0218-348X
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers typically employ composite structures to improve their transmission and reception sensitivities. The geometry of the composite is regular with one dominant length scale and, since these are resonant devices, this dictates the central operating frequency of the device. In order to construct a wide bandwidth device it would seem natural therefore to utilize resonators that span a range of length scales. In this article we consider such a device and build a theoretical model to predict its performance. A fractal medium is used as this contains a wide range of length scales and yields to a renormalization approach. The propagation of an ultrasonic wave in this heterogeneous medium is then analyzed and used to construct expressions for the electrical impedance, and the transmission and reception sensitivities of this device as a function of the driving frequency. The results presented show a marked increase in the reception sensitivity of the device.

Sunil Mittal, the chairman of India's biggest telecommunication carrier Bharti Airtel Ltd, was ordered on Tuesday to appear before a court in a case over alleged corruption in allocating mobile phone bandwidth more than a decade ago.
The court also summoned Asim Ghosh, the former head of Vodafone Group Plc's Indian unit, and Ravi Ruia, one of the founders of diversified conglomerate Essar Group, in the same case.
Mittal, Ghosh and Ruia were summoned because "they represent the directing mind and will of each company", Judge O.P. Saini said in his order. The men will stand in court on April 11.
"The acts of the companies are to be attributed and imputed to them. Consequently, I find enough material on record to proceed against them," Saini said.
In 2002, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone's India unit were charged over alleged irregularities in allotting mobile spectrum. The charge sheet did not name any individual executives.
Bharti and Vodafone India have previously denied any wrongdoing.
Essar Group is the
Shares in Bharti fell as much as 7.6 percent after the judge read out the summons, before cutting some losses to close 4.6 percent lower in Mumbai trading.
Vodafone started its business in India in 2007 by acquiring a majority stake in Hutchison Whampoa Ltd's mobile operations, a unit that was set up in partnership with Essar Group. Essar Group maintained a stake in Vodafone India until 2011.
The investigation follows a separate scandal over bandwidth allocations in 2008 in which the state auditor said the ruling Congress-Party led government may have lost up to $32.5 billion due to below-market price sales of radio spectrum.
Police have charged 19 people and three companies in that case, and they are on trial.
The Supreme Court had ordered police to investigate any possible irregularities in the allocation of mobile airwaves from 2001 to 2007. Police have estimated a potential loss of $156 million in government revenue due to the alleged irregularities in 2002.

The cross-examination of Barbara Miller resumed today in the trial of her brother, Amish bishop Sam Mullet Sr., and 15 of his followers from Bergholz who are charged with religious hate crimes.
Under questioning by the defense attorney for defendant Lovina Miller, who is one of Barbara Miller's daughters-in-law, Barbara Miller said she believes her children to be part of a cult.
"A cult to me is a group of people that is ruled by one person that is the whole group's God," she said.
The trial of Mullet and 15 co-defendants is expected to be a two-week trial with widespread interest due to the reclusive religious lifestyle of the Amish and the type of charges.
The defendants are charged with hate crimes, which were filed under a law that makes an attack a federal crime if it was committed because of actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation or disability.
Miller had testified on Wednesday about the attack by several of her children and their spouses, including Lovina Miller, on her and her husband Marty Miller.
The children and their spouses, angry over their parents association with rival Amish, cut off their father's beard and two feet of their mother's hair on the night of Sept. 6, 2011.
The children also were angry over their parents' decision to leave the Bergholz Amish community, to which six of their seven children belonged, after having lived their for less than four months.
Barbara Miller testified that Mullet had become a dictator, living under Old Testament laws such as "eye-for-an-eye" rather than the New Testament teachings of Jesus.
The Amish are Christians who are supposed to practice forgiveness. They believe that devotion to God and the teachings of Jesus provides a path to heaven.
Miller also testified that she got along well with her brother Sam Mullet when they were younger. She said he moved twice later in life, the last time to Bergholz, because the Amish communities where he had been living with his 18 children were not conservative enough for him. He also wanted a slower pace of life, she said.
Men's beards and women's hair have spiritual significance to the Amish.
The attack on the Millers was the first of several beard-cutting attacks by followers of Mullet on other Amish that prosecutors claim were orchestrated by Mullet.
Other charges against the defendants include conspiracy, evidence tampering and obstruction of justice. Some of the defendants face prison terms of 20 years or more if convicted.
The defendants say the government shouldn't intrude on what they call internal church disciplinary matters not involving anti-Amish bias. They've denied the charges and rejected plea bargain offers carrying sentences of two to three years in prison instead of possible sentences of 20 years or more.

However when bed was in the process of being assembled I ran into several issues.One drawer bottom was split,bolts for the drawer handles were too long,bolts that attach footboard were too short,and the cam lock bolts were too small on one side of the drawer front-they just dropped in the pre drilled hole so the cam didn't tighten the bolt.I called the maker of the product and was told they would send washers for the handles,a new drawer bottom,however I had built the bed and fixed the issues,new bolts,glued drawer bottom,wood filler for oversized holes.

Comments about Sonax Willow Twin Captains Storage Bed with 6 Drawers - Ravenwood Black:
Not difficult to put together and all the pieces and screws were included with the exception of two headboard bolts. However, it looks good put together. The only issue I have is that the bookcase headboard was not available and I had to order the flat headboard.

Even as many post-Soviet Russians apparently seem proud of Dmitri Medvedev and Vladimir Putin's willingness and ability to come to the expedient Big-Brother rescue of newly minted Ossetian and Abkhazian "passport Russians" living in neighboring Georgia and some reportedly even wax nostalgic for the grand old days of a Moscow-run fraternity of perpetually silent and smiling nations, I can't help remembering the old Russian proverb about how the wolf showed his affection for the hen by "kissing her -- all the way down to her tail feathers." Now, as they witness Russia's most recent spasm of "affection" toward Georgia, it's small wonder that Russia's other neighbors throughout the "near abroad" Baltics, Poland, Ukraine and Central Asia are more determined than ever to reach out to the European Union, NATO and the U.S. for whatever ways they can find to keep an overaffectionate wolf away.
I'd bet my last souvenir Soviet kopek that for every Russian feeling somehow renewed by the Kremlin's reversion to age-old habits in Georgia, there are hundreds of Russia's neighbors remembering both czars and commissars all too well -- and thinking, "Never again."
