Coilgun Technology at the Center for Electromechanics, the University of Texas at Austin

This paper describes the engineering trade-offs ’ performed on a coilgun design a t the Center for Electromechanics at The University of Texas at Austin (CEMUT). The concept used was that of a collapsing field accelerator. This concept was chosen because of its passive operation, and because it lent itself to existing power supplies. The trade-offs described, however, should be performed on any...

University of Texas at Austin KBP 2013 Slot Filling System: Bayesian Logic Programs for Textual Inference

This document describes the University of Texas at Austin 2013 system for the Knowledge Base Population (KBP) English Slot Filling (SF) task. The UT Austin system builds upon the output of an existing relation extractor by augmenting relations that are explicitly stated in the text with ones that are inferred from the stated relations using probabilistic rules that encode commonsense world know...

Pioneers in biomedical optics: special section honoring professor Ashley J. Welch, University of Texas at Austin.

Born and bred in Ft. Worth, Texas, he spent his entire career in the Lone Star State. A.J. graduated from Texas Technological College now Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, with his BS degree in electrical engineering in 1955. He was raised primarily by his mother who early on instilled in him the value of a good education. With obvious talent in science and math, engineering was the thin...

Murine Typhus in Austin, Texas, USA, 2008

In August 2008, Texas authorities and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigated reports of increased numbers of febrile rash illnesses in Austin to confirm the causative agent as Rickettsia typhi, to assess the outbreak magnitude and illness severity, and to identify potential animal reservoirs and peridomestic factors that may have contributed to disease emergence. Thirty-thr...
