Roe in Turbulent Time

Rain Initiation Time in Turbulent Warm Clouds

A mean field model is presented that describes droplet growth resulting from condensation and collisions and droplet loss resulting from fallout. The model allows for an effective numerical simulation. The numerical scheme that is conservative in water mass and keeps accurate count of the number of droplets is applied, and the way in which the rain initiation time depends on different parameter...

Rewriting Roe v. Wade.

Presented in this essay are suggestions for rewriting Roe vs. Wade, the case that resulted in the establishment of a constitutional right to abortion. Essentially, the argument is 1 of equal protection. It is suggested that abortion be viewed as presenting a problem that might be termed "the law of samaritanism" -- the law regarding obligations imposed on certain individuals to provide assist...

The Supreme Court, Roe

It is no exaggeration to say that no U.S. Supreme Court opinion has been more misunderstood and has had its arguments more misrepresented in the public square than Roe v. Wade (1973). 1 There seems to be a widespread perception that Roe was a moderate opinion that does not support abortion on demand, i.e., unrestricted abortion for all nine months for virtually any reason. Even a philosopher of...

Turbulent convection with time-dependent forcing

A new technique is used to explore the structure of turbulent convecting flows. A sinusoidal temperature perturbation is superimposed on the bottom plate of a cylindrical convection cell filled with cryogenic helium gas and its decay is measured at the cell mid-height. The measurements allow the first dynamic estimate of the core part of the flow which conducts fluid effectively without any the...
