 | Ideas have consequences. This simple yet sufficient principle comes from a philosophical work of the same name by Richard M. Weaver, published in 1948. In this book, Weaver refers to the "channels of information and entertainment" as the "Great Stereopticon." The purpose of this "machine" is to "project selected pictures of life in the hope that what is seen will be imitated." According to Weaver, the audience is growing and ... |

| African American men are at greater risk for developing and dying from prostate cancer compared to white men. This disparity is likely due to a number of factors including environmental and genetic factors. The Flint Men's Health Study (FMHS) was established in 1995 as a population-based case-control study of African American men aged 40-79 residing in Genesee County, Michigan. The initial sample consisted of 730 men who completed an in-home ... |

| Bank recession resulting from erosion and mass failure is a consequence of hydraulic forces and geotechnical processes. One important set of processes is soil freeze-thaw (FT) cycling and associated ground-ice growth and melt. In regions where seasonal frost forms soil FT processes usually cause more bank recession annually than other processes. The magnitude of FT effects is variable depending on soil type water content and freezing rate. The stability of ... |

| The finite pressure present in vacuum chamber testing of space propulsion systems such as Hall thrusters can have a number of undesirable effects. For example, the thrust generated by the thruster is higher and the plume divergence angle larger in ground tests in comparison to space operation. To try to quantify these effects, the direct simulation Monte Carlo method is applied to model a cold flow of xenon gas expanding ... |
