It would be beneficial to examine how households in the Third District have been affected by the recent economic downturn. Thinking locally, we can examine both overall poverty rates in our three-state region of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware and where poverty is the most severe. This report looks at county poverty rates in 2008, in the early part of the recent downturn, and compares th...

A signal-processing method is proposed in the fully interferometric three-dimensional (3D) imaging spectrometry. This processing computes a 3D interferogram, in which recorded fringe patterns do not directly reflect wavefront forms propagated from a polychromatic light source under measurement. This paper presents a procedure for signal processing including a synthesis of the 3D interferogram a...

We demonstrate how the resolution and imaging depth limitations of nonlinear optical microscopy can be overcome by modulating the spatial overlap between two-color pulses. We suppress out-of-focus signals, which limit the imaging depth, by a factor of 100, and enhance the lateral and axial resolution by factors of 1.6 and 1.4-1.8 respectively. Using spatial overlap modulation, we demonstrate ba...

In recent years, there has been new and growing interest in ergativity among researchers working within the generative framework. This two-part lecture describes the basic facts about so-called ergative languages and then examines the existing approaches to ergative case assignment (Lecture 1) and syntactic ergativity (Lecture 2). Our main objective is to explore whether ergativity can be shown...

The ability to create architected materials that possess both high stiffness and toughness remains an elusive goal, since these properties are often mutually exclusive. Natural materials, such as bone, overcome such limitations by combining different toughening mechanisms across multiple length scales. Here, a new method for creating architected lattices composed of core-shell struts that are b...
