Summary A mixed boundary element approach for two-dimensional dynamic piezoelectric fracture mechanics problems is presented. The numerical approach is based on displacement and traction integral equations for external and crack boundaries, respectively. Integral equations for time harmonic problems are considered. Transient problems are analyzed by means of the FFT. Curved and quarter-point elements are used. Stress and electric displacement intensity factors are evaluated from nodal values next to the crack tip. The present BE approach has allowed for solution of a variety of crack problems including curved cracks. Some of these problems had never been studied before.

High dynamic range (HDR) images offer a greater range of intensity levels than most digital cameras and electronic displays and is said to be the future of imaging, as expressed by Ward in [6] as well as Meyer in [2] where he says, “In the coming decade, HDR digital imaging technology will arrive, and change how we take, manipulate, store, use and display images forever. ” Displaying these images electronically requires very expensive equipment and printing them was said to be impossible by a distinguished researcher at a recent computer graphics conference. This project looks at devising a method of printing HDR images with greater quality by coming up with alternate printing methods and trying to overcome the limited dynamic range of a single piece of ordinary paper. Most related research is in the field of displaying HDR images on low dynamic output devices by means of a tonal mapping. Ward [5] talks of ways of storing the full colour range of a photograph, rather than just what can be displayed on a particular display, and only then mapping the full range of colours to the limited range of the display. Different methods of display of these images are discussed in [3] and [4]. These, along with other techniques such as radiance maps [1], will contribute towards methods of approach.

Receptive language is known as the ability to listen and comprehend, and has been found to be one of the biggest predictor for academic success. With the increase in the United States, incoming immigrant population it is important to address the issue of immigrant children entering school less prepared then native children. There is a lack of research examining the link between mother-infant interactions in relation to the promotion of infant receptive language within the immigrant population. This study examines the relationship between immigrant mother’s early cognitive engagement and sensitivity with their infants, during mother-infant play and the infant’s later receptive language and the influence of maternal education. A total of 19 immigrant mothers of Latino, African, Caribbean and Asian Pacific Island background were videotaped playing with their infants in order to determine the level of cognitive engagement and sensitivity provided. Data analysis of the coding scores revealed that there was a distinctive difference in the level of maternal education in relation to cognitive engagement and sensitivity. Results determined that receptive language was not associated with parenting behaviors: sensitivity and cognitive engagement. Indicators of cultural variations within the sample could have influenced the results. Future research needs to extend this study in order to determine the longitudinal effects of parenting behaviors of immigrant mothers and their children’s receptive language.

Port security is an area of increasing national concern. Various security measures have been proposed in an effort to reduce perceived security threats. These measures have the potential to significantly change port operations, and may lead to significantly increased shipping cost and time. To help define and explore the tradeoffs between security and commerce, we have used system dynamics models to engage diverse representatives of business and government. In collaboration with domain experts, we have developed models of port performance on two relevant time scales. A short-term port operations model simulates the effects of a variety of security measures on port operations, under both normal conditions and when subject to several disruptions in supporting infrastructures. A long-term port economics model simulates the possible consequences in of port performance changes caused by security measures on the long-term competitiveness of the port. In workshops designed around these models, we have engaged government and business representatives in discussions about the ramifications of security policies. These workshops have catalyzed discussions among the diverse parties concerned with insuring secure and efficient shipping.

"An institutional repository concentrates the intellectual product created by a university's researchers, making it easier to demonstrate its scientific, social and financial value. Thus, institutional repositories complement existing metrics for gauging productivity and prestige...this demonstration of value can translate into tangible benefits, including the funding...that derives in part from an institution's status and reputation. " (Crow, 2002, p. 6-7) Among the most frequently used arguments for institutional repositories is their potential for providing "online, continuous, metrics-based " (Harnad, 2006) assessment of universities and their faculty. Certainly, one need not investigate very much to discover how useful such a tool would be for academic administrators, who typically must struggle time and again to compile meaningful statistics for periodic demands such as regional accreditation assessment in the U.S. or research assessment exercises in the U.K. and Australia. A search of the professional literature on higher education administration reveals frequent calls over the past three decades for better ways to measure college and university performance. Have these recognitions of a need produced suitable solutions or standards? Apparently, they have not. The U. S. Department of Education's Report on

In the United States, approximately 40,000 lives are lost as a result of traffic fatalities every year. When considering the first harmful event, culverts and ditches account for more than 10 % of the total fatal ran-off-road crashes across the country, according to the 2002 AASHTO Roadside Design Guide (RDG) (AASHTO 2002). The RDG also provides guidance regarding the adoption of safety measures used to reduce hazards cre-ated by roadside obstacles. The options, in order of preference, are to: (1) remove the obstacle; (2) redesign it; (3) relocate it; (4) reduce the impact severity by using appropriate devices; (5) shield the obstacle; and (6) delineate it. In accordance with these options, several research studies have been performed to investigate the viability of treatments for roadside culverts. The most commonly used safety alternatives have been: (1) re-locating the culvert outside of the clear zone; (2) placing safety

Abstract. Using existing experimental data taken over a period of roughly 12 years that documents the concentrations of dieldrin levels in the environment and fatty tissue of the fish, we construct a model of the total dieldrin concentration decline. Comparisons between the experimental data and speculative data can be made using calculus and elements of statistics in order to better understand the movement of dieldrin in the reservoir. Because of the potentially harmful exposure effects of dieldrin to humans as well as the environment, it is important to be able to predict when stability has been restored to the ecosystem.

A model is presented for the curing process of organic matrix composites when significant amounts of vapor are released during the cure. The results of the model provide the temperature, degree of cure, and the total amount of vapor mass released as functions of position and time. Procedures are described for measuring the param-eters required in the calculations.

*For reference – suggested modifications are noted in track changes and editorial comments are noted in [brackets] For several decades, central California has witnessed a debate about the potential effects of certain human activities on Drake’s Estero in Point Reyes National Seashore, which is managed by the U.S. National Park Service. In many respects, this debate has focused on two three main questions: (1) DoAre oyster farmingshellfish aquaculture operations [aquaculture activities in Drakes Estero are not limited to the cultivation of oysters] and other human activities have potentially significantresulting in adverse effects on the Drake’s Estero harbor seal population and (2) Do shellfish aquaculture operations and other human activities in Drakes Estero have to the potential to adversely affect the harbor seal population in Drakes Estero and (2) Should aquaculture be allowed in a National Park and designated wilderness area. The first of these questions should be addressed through scientific investigation, whereas the second question is a matter of policy beyond the scope of this review.
