This paper describes the application of biologically-inspired algorithms and concepts to the design of wideband antenna arrays. In particular, we address two specific design problems. The first involves the design of a constrained-feed network for a Rotman-lens beamformer. We implemented two evolutionary optimization (EO) approaches, namely a simple genetic algorithm (SGA) and a competent genet...

From geometrical optics, the laws of reflection and refraction, ray tracing techniques, conservation of energy within a bundle of rays, and the condition of constant optical path length provide a foundation for design of laser beam shaping systems. Geometrical optics design methods are presented for shaping the irradiance profile of both rotationally and rectangular symmetric laser beams. Appli...

Investors frequently hold equity in tax-exempt savings vehicles such as pension plans, despite the prediction of the standard model that they hold only bonds. We provide a new explanation for this empirical puzzle based on differences between pensions and taxable assets in the tax treatment of capital losses. We show how limits on refundability of losses on taxable equities leads to diversity o...

Brian
Rotman
argues
that
(one)
“mind”
and
(one)
“god”
are
 only
conceivable,
literally,
because
of
(alphabetic)
literacy,
which
 allowed
us
to
designate
each
of
these
ghosts
as
an
incorporeal,
speaker‐ independent
“I”
(or,
in
the
case
of
infinity,
a
notional
agent
that
goes
on
 counting
forever).
I
argue
that
to
have
a
mind
is
to
have
the
capacity
to
 feel.
No
one
can
be
sure
which
organisms
