Memoriam.

George W. Housner, Carl F Braun Professor of Engineering, emeritus, died after a short illness on 10 November 2008, just a few weeks before his 98th birthday. He was in the retirement home in Pasadena where he had lived for several years. For all of us who knew George, this marked the end of an era. Few people have guided and nurtured a field the way George led earthquake engineering over a per...

The Generalized Dowling Lattices

In this paper we study a new class of lattices called the generalized Dowling lattices. These lattices are parametrized by a positive integer n , a finite group G , and a meet sublattice K of the lattice of subgroups of G . For an appropriate choice of K the generalized Dowling lattice Dn{G,K) agrees with the ordinary Dowling lattice Dn(G). For a different choice of K, the generalized Dowling l...
