Fond Memories of John Fahey.

Smell-Based Memory Recollection and Communication Support

Many victims of The Great East Japan Earthquake lost many precious mementos. Such loses can result in more time being required to recover emotionally and mentally. This paper proposes an effective reminder management system using smell. The system focuses on fond memory recollection. Preliminary experiments using a device that produces smell showed that it was effective to help recall fond memo...

Immanent Indeterminacy: Tracing Postmodernity in John Banville’s Neo-Realist Novel The Sea

Hassan’s catalogue of the features of postmodern fiction includes indeterminacy, fragmentation, decanonization, selflessness, depthlessness, the unpresentable/unrepresentable, irony, hybridization, carnivalization, performance, participa...

Emanuel Parzen and a Tale of Two Kernels Prepared for the Journal of Time Series Analysis

I was Manny Parzen’s fifth student, according to the Mathematical Genealogy Project, receiving my PhD under his supervision in 1966, and remaining at Stanford with him for a postdoc, leaving for the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1967, where I remain as I write. To be Manny’s PhD student at Stanford in the 60’s was nothing short of bliss. Many was full of ideas, the weather was warm and sun...

Allen-Fahey and related experiments support the predominance of cochlear slow-wave otoacoustic emissions.

Originally proposed as a method for measuring the power gain of the cochlear amplifier, Allen-Fahey experiments compare intracochlear distortion products and ear-canal otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) under tightly controlled conditions. In this paper Allen-Fahey experiments are shown to place significant constraints on the dominant mode of reverse energy propagation within the cochlea. Existing Al...
