A s co-author, with Patricia L. Parker, of National Register Bulletin 38 (Parker and King 1990), I am much cheered by the preceding papers. As did the symposia that produced them, they show that traditional cultural properties have become the focus of intellectual ferment in and around historic preservation. Moreover, they illustrate a kind of cross-cultural ferment that should be healthy for p...

Over the past 20 years at QD Vision, Apple, and now STMicroelectronics, I have focused on inventing building new display optical sensor technologies. Looking back what industry has achieved where we are going, see a trend of ideas technologies being merged with existing hardware to improve performance, cost, user experience. This, ultimately, is making components devices evermore complex as pac...

The increased experimental feasibility to manipulate single or few particle quantum states, and the theoretical concentration on the algebraic properties of the mathematical models underlying quantum mechanics, have stimulated a wealth of applications in information and computation theory [1,2]. In this line of reasoning, we shall consider quantized systems which are in a coherent superposition...

THE DETROIT METRO CHAPTER OF SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION Display (SID) held its 29th Annual Vehicle Displays and Interfaces Symposium Exposition (VDS) as an in-person event September 27 28 in Novi, Michigan. While not completely returning to pre-pandemic levels, VDS 2022 had 539 registered attendees 51 exhibitors. The annual symposium is designed disseminate information among designers, engineers, ...

Since the pioneering work of Charles Nicolle in 1909 [see Gross (1996) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 93:10539–10540] most medical officers and scientists have assumed that body lice are the sole vectors of Rickettsia prowazekii, the aetiological agent of louseborne epidemic typhus (LBET). Here we review the evidence for the axiom that head lice are not involved in epidemics of LBET. Laboratory experim...

In designing a successful, engaging AR/MR display, optics knowledge is key. Useful and well-designed display technologies require careful consideration of both the hardware intended application. For example, in case augmented mixed reality (AR/MR) products, it's important to get correct design for optics, but also critical that final suitably matches use cases so user has wholly satisfactory ex...

Tremendous progress has been made in audiovisual technologies in the last decades. Consequently, new technologies quality measures evolve and trend to be more user-centric. This is the reason why the Quality of Experience (QoE) assessment is presently meaningful and challenging, especially for users typical experiences during multimedia content consumption. Such an evaluation is the aim of this...

Trichorrhexis nodosa (TN) is a common hair shaft abnormality. It is classified as congenital or acquired. Clinically, brittle and broken hair can be noted. We present here one case of acquired TN, which was diagnosed using trichoscopy, a non-invasive method. Trichoscopy shows nodular thickenings along the hair shafts at low magnification, and at higher magnification we can see hair shafts which...

Modular Synthesis was supposed to be over by the 80s. Already in the early 70s, the MiniMoog and its defaultsynthesis-path spawn sounded a gradual death knell for the great modular rigs that grew stronger with microprocessordriven analog systems that had all their ‘patching’ managed digitally. As the 80s unfolded, MIDI and digital synthesis seemed to have sealed the modular coffin, and those hu...
