The interval Newton's method in conjunction with generalized bisection, as implemented in the public domain mftware program INTBIS by Kearfott and Novoa, is a method of miring single and simultaneous nonlinear equatiom. In this paper, this method is used m solve 15 test problems from different chemical engineering application areas, and an ill-scaled tramcendentai equation. The interval method ...

ACCELERATED QUANTUM DYNAMICS by Morgan H. Lynch The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2017 Under the Supervision of Professor Valerică Raicu In this dissertation we develop a formalism for the computation of observables due to acceleration-induced particle physics processes. By using the spacetime structure produced by acceleration, we examine the properties of accelerated particle detectors a...

Introduction It has long been observed that prosody and syntax interact in our spoken language. For example, prosodic modulations such as pausing, final-syllable lengthening, and pitch resets occur reliably at clause and major phrase boundaries, particularly in infant-directed speech (Broen, 1972; Bernstein Ratner, 1986; Fernald et al., 1989; Soderstrom et al., 2008). Proponents of the prosodic...

IN the early 1910s, researchers at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, might have wondered why a colleague, Thomas Hunt Morgan (Figure 1), began shipping fruit flies from his Columbia University lab to the MBL each summer. After all, the Woods Hole currents supplied the MBL with a rich variety of marine organisms and Morgan, an avid practitioner of experimental ...

This paper describes a non-conventional method for compiling (phonological or morpho-syntactic) context restriction (CR) constraints into non-deterministic automata in finite-state tools and surface parsing systems. The method reduces any CR into a simple one that constraints the occurrences of the empty string and represents right contexts with co-determististic states. In cases where a fully ...
