The treatment of gender claims in the U.S. has been in flux, with developments tending towards recognition of these claims being followed by those which seem to limit or even eliminate such recognition. This Briefing will trace these developments, with a focus on what has transpired since the issuance of a proposed regulation in December 2000, [FN3] and then-Attorney General Janet Reno's vacati...

INTRODUCTION In 2008 the first ever night-time Moto GP Grand Prix was held in Doha following the construction of permanent outdoor lighting, and in doing so establishing the Qatar event as one of the most spectacular on the Moto GP calendar. With an 18-race series visiting 14 countries, four continents and pan-global television coverage, Moto GP is the premier motorcycle racing World Championsh...

We have built and evaluated a prototype of a tool called Knight. The tool uses an electronic whiteboard a large, touch sensitive computer screen (currently a SMART Board http://www.smarttech.com). The large drawing space resembles a traditional whiteboard: Pens are used as input devices and several persons can work around it. Thus, it naturally supports collaborative work. Furthermore, the Knig...

The Knight algorithm can instantaneously resolve integer ambiguities and improve significantly the search speed by skipping over most less-likely integer ambiguity candidates. However, its reliability relies on the volume of the integer ambiguity search space. Utilizing coarse attitude knowledge can reduce the size of the search space. This paper proposes a new method to narrow the search space...

Knight-Ridder Information, Inc., participated in MUC-6 with VANF (Valu e Adding Name Finder), the system used by Knight-Ridder Information i n production for adding a Company Names descriptor field to online newspape r and newswire databases . Knight-Ridder Information participated in the NE tas k only . The system used for MUC-6 is exactly the same as is used in production. The only difference...

The magnetic response of the heavy fermion superconductor UPt3 has been investigated on a microscopic scale by muon Knight shift studies. Two distinct and isotropic Knight shifts have been found for the field in the basal plane. While the volume fractions associated with the two Knight shifts are approximately equal at low and high temperatures, they show a dramatic and opposite temperature dep...

The study of impurities in low dimensional antiferromagnets has been a very active field in magnetism ever since the discovery of high temperature superconductivity. One of the most dramatic effects is the appearance of large Knight shifts in a long range around non-magnetic impurities in an antiferromagnetic background. The dependence of the Knight shifts on distance and temperature visualizes...
