2. Resilience is not achieved by picking off and solving individual problems but results from the inter-play of all the multiple inter-related components and factors that form the whole electricity system. The lessons that can be learnt from the last period when electricity resilience was an issue, the 3 day week in the 1970s, are of limited value in the current context because both the underly...

The following presents a review of power laws in financial economics. It is a chapter from a preliminary draft of a very long review article called “Beyond equilibrium and efficiency”. While some of the discussion is specific to economics, most of it applies to power laws in general – the nouns may change, but the underlying questions are similar in many fields. This draft is still highly preli...

It would be beneficial to examine how households in the Third District have been affected by the recent economic downturn. Thinking locally, we can examine both overall poverty rates in our three-state region of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware and where poverty is the most severe. This report looks at county poverty rates in 2008, in the early part of the recent downturn, and compares th...

A signal-processing method is proposed in the fully interferometric three-dimensional (3D) imaging spectrometry. This processing computes a 3D interferogram, in which recorded fringe patterns do not directly reflect wavefront forms propagated from a polychromatic light source under measurement. This paper presents a procedure for signal processing including a synthesis of the 3D interferogram a...

We demonstrate how the resolution and imaging depth limitations of nonlinear optical microscopy can be overcome by modulating the spatial overlap between two-color pulses. We suppress out-of-focus signals, which limit the imaging depth, by a factor of 100, and enhance the lateral and axial resolution by factors of 1.6 and 1.4-1.8 respectively. Using spatial overlap modulation, we demonstrate ba...
