Franklin’s Claims to Greatness with Remarks on the Religious Aspects of Patriotism

An Address before The Rhode Island Society of Colonial Wars, December 30, 1922 by Harry Lyman Koopman. Issued by the courtesy of Henry Dexter Sharpe, Esquire, in the administration of William Bates Greenough, Governor, 1923. Koopman argues that in the past religion was closely linked with national identity, but with the founding of the nation – which Benjamin Franklin helped facilitate – such a connection no longer existed or was needed. And that Franklin’s greatness came at a unique moment in history and that his lifetime of accomplishments sets him apart from the other founding fathers.https://digitalcommons.providence.edu/ri_history/1006/thumbnail.jp

Hazards to space workers from ionizing radiation

A compilation of background information and a preliminary assessment of the potential risks to workers from the ionizing radiation encountered in space is provided. The report: (1) summarizes the current knowledge of the space radiation environment to which space workers will be exposed; (2) reviews the biological effects of ionizing radiation considered of major importance to a SPS project; and (3) discusses the health implications of exposure of populations of space workers to the radiations likely to penetrate through the shielding provided by the SPS work stations and habitat shelters of the SPS Reference System

Model-based approaches for partitioning subjective workload assessments

Modified Petri nets (MPNs) were investigated as a workload modeling tool. The MPN model was screened for general sensitivity to changes in workloads. A canonical correlation was conducted between the MPN parameters and the workload ratings. The results of the canonical correlation indicated that the MPN model of the experimental task represented the task components that influenced the subjective workload

The Temporal Logic of the Tower Chief System

The purpose is to describe the logic used in the reasoning scheme employed in the Tower Chief system, a runway configuration management system. First, a review of classical logic is given. Defensible logics, truth maintenance, default logic, temporally dependent propositions, and resource allocation and planning are discussed
