Parker Winds Revisited: An Extension to Disk Winds

Parker Winds Revisited: An Extension to Disk Winds by Timothy R. Waters Dr. Daniel Proga, Examination Committe Chair Associate Professor of Physics & Astronomy University of Nevada, Las Vegas A simple 1D dynamical model of thermally driven disk winds is proposed, based on the results of recent, 2.5D axi-symmetric simulations. Our formulation of the disk wind problem is in the spirit of the orig...

Loudness and Loudness Discrimination Revisited

We present evidence that the psychophysical function relating loudness to sound pressure is governed by a nonlinear gain control system, one of whose functions is to protect the sensory system from overload. Specifically, the loudness function is altered nonlinearly when loud sounds are added in an identification task previously containing only soft sounds but not vice

World health system performance revisited: the impact of varying the relative importance of health system goals

BACKGROUND In 2002, the World Health Organization published a health system performance ranking for 191 member countries. The ranking was based on five indicators, with fixed weights common to all countries. METHODS We investigate the feasibility and desirability of using mathematical programming techniques that allow weights to vary across countries to reflect their varying circumstances and...
