This manuscript started as Program Notes for a Lecture Without Words (without spoken words, to be exact) to accompany a performance of the complete Art of Fugue at the 19 Annual Roland D. Pinkham M.D. Basic Science Lectureship on “Music and the Brain” The music was performed on the Willis pipe organ at the St. Joseph Church, Seattle, November 18, 2005 These Notes (last updated July 2015) are be...

-AISI D3 tool steel is a high-carbon, highchromium, oil-hardening tool steel that is characterized by a relatively high attainable hardness and numerous, large, chromium-rich alloy carbides in the microstructure. These carbides provide good resistance to wear from sliding contact with other metals and abrasive materials. Typical applications for D3 tool steel include Blanking, stamping, and col...

In this paper, a manipulability analysis of a new parallel-type rolling mill, named ‘‘paramill,’’ in its conceptual design stage is investigated. The paramill considered uses two Stewart platforms (SPs) in opposite directions for the generation of 6 degree-offreedom motions of individual work-rolls. The objective of this new approach is to pursue an integrated control of the strip thickness, st...

I report on the effects of a periodic modulation of the control parameter on electroconvection in the nematic liquid crystal I52. Without modulation, the primary bifurcation from the uniform state is a direct transition to a state of spatiotemporal chaos. This state is the result of the interaction of four degenerate traveling modes: right and left zig and zag rolls. Periodic modulations of the...

This article examines a source of the growth in the SSI children's program: a relatively minor and little-noticed change in the financial eligibility rules. The way parental earnings were counted as income, or "deemed" to children (to use SSA language) was changed. The new, more generous financial eligibility rules added a small but significant number of recipients to the rolls after 1992 and a...

We carry out the first nontrivial cases of the limiting process proposed by Langlands in his manuscript Beyond Endoscopy, with technical variations that enable us to treat the limit unconditionally. This gives an elementary proof, on GL(2), of the classification of forms such that the symmetric square L-function has a pole (including, implicitly, the construction of these forms). The result of ...

We present a few-mode Galerkin model for convection in binary fluid layers subject to an approximation to realistic horizontal boundary conditions at positive separation ratios. The model exhibits convection patterns in form of rolls and squares. The stable squares at onset develop into stable rolls at higher thermal driving. In between, a regime of a so-called cross roll structure is found. Th...
