Abstract:
Abu Ja'far al Man~ur, the founder of the 'Abbasid state, once posed aquestion to some of his confidants:Who is the hawk of Quraysh? They replied: The Commander ofthe Faithful (Amir al Mu'minin) who established the reign, quietedupheavals, and extinguished ordeals. He said: You havenot answered my question. They said: Is it Mu'awiyah? He said:No. They said: Is it 'Abd al Malik ibn Marwan? He said: No.They said: Who else, Commander of the Faithful? He said:'Abd al Ra}:iman ibn Mu'awiyah, who escaped by his cunningthe spearheads of the lances and the blades of the swords, travellingthe desert, and sailing the seas, until he entered an alienterritory.

Abstract:
Downy mildew is a major concern to broccoli growers in the Sonoran Desert. Control measures include wide use of fungicide applications to prevent economic damage. Recent removal of EBDC type fungicides from the market and restrictions imposed on other registered materials has increased interest by growers and broccoli breeders in developing varieties tolerant to downy mildew. From 1984 to 1989 varieties were evaluated for tolerance to downy mildew in unreplicated trials conducted in commercial fields. In 1990, named varieties of current interest in desert production which showed tolerance to the disease in the previous trials were compared to standard varieties used by the industry. Varieties were replicated four times using a randomized complete block design. A rating scale from 1 to 5 was used to describe the severity of foliar lesions. The varieties Everest, Zeus, Legend, Pirate and Sultan showed significant tolerance when compared to the more susceptible varieties Arcadia, Emerald City, Emperor, Greenbelt, Packman, Commander, and NS 649.

Abstract:
U.S. Navy experience gained from the mine countermeasures (MCM) operations against the mines planted by Iraq during Operation Desert Storm highlighted the need for a centralized platform for support of MCM operations. This centralized Mine Countermeasures Support (MCS) platform would meet two critical needs: it would enable the employment of integrated MCM forces and it would allow the MCM Group Commander to be deployed with those MCM forces. Full integration of all MCM forces by the MCM Commander is the key to effective MCM operations. The MCM forces comprised Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM), Surface Mine Countermeasures (SMCM) and Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mine Countermeasures (EODMCM). The strengths of each must be captured and coordinated by the MCM Commander. AMCM assets are capable of rapidly deploying to conduct reconnaissance, precursor and clearance MCM operations. SMCM assets are more capable of sustained large area mine clearance and possess an organic ability to neutralize located mines. EODMCM assets are specialized EOD detachments that are also capable of rapidly deploying to support AMCM and SMCM minehunting and mechanical sweeping operations by identifying, neutralizing or countercharging, recovering, exploiting and disposing of sea mines. USS Inchon (LPH-12) has been selected by the U.S. Navy as the most cost-effective platform to provide a near-term solution which will meet the requirements discussed above. After a brief discussion of MCM operations, other candidate MCS platforms studied, and the far-term (new construction) MCS(X), the remainder of the paper will focus on the conversion of the LPH-12 to operate as the centralized platform for MCM operations

Abstract:
This paper presents the major features of two decision support systems (DSS) for river water quality modeling and policy analysis recently developed at the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), DESERT and STREAMPLAN. DESERT integrates in a single package data management, model calibration, simulation, optimization and presentation of results. DESERT has the flexibility to allow the specification of both alternative water quality models and flow hydraulics for different branches of the same river basin. Specification of these models can be done interactively through Microsoft® Windows commands and menus and an easy to use interpreted language. Detailed analysis of the effects of parameter uncertainty on water quality results is integrated into DESERT. STREAMPLAN, on the other hand, is an integrated, easy-to-use software system for analyzing alternative water quality management policies on a river basin level. These policies include uniform emission reduction and effluent standard based strategies, ambient water quality and least-cost strategies, total emission reduction under minimized costs, mixed strategies, local and regional policies, and strategies with economic instruments. A distinctive feature of STREAMPLAN is the integration of a detailed model of municipal wastewater generation with a water quality model and policy analysis tools on a river basin scale.

Abstract:
With the advent of the global energy crisis, the use of sustainable green energy has become more and more widespread and the utilization rate of photovoltaic industry in high-altitude desert areas is getting higher and higher. This article mainly studies the intelligent control system in desert area based on photovoltaic microgrid power supply. The system uses shielded twisted pair to transmit signals, and electrostatic interference and electromagnetic induction interference are effectively suppressed. After ensuring that the encoder feedback is correct and the motor movement direction is consistent with the command direction and the safety of the movement stroke, the PID parameters of the motor are tuned in PAMCturningpro. For the performance test of this system, the design and implementation of the test plan should be carried out according to the concurrent support target and response time target proposed in the performance analysis of the system. Concurrent users use the LoadRunner tool to create the customer test machine to simulate the concurrent access and operation of the system. In each iteration process, the test results are recorded in the same way as the benchmark test and finally the system can still achieve the expected performance when the actual concurrency reaches the limit of 5007. The results show that the intelligent control system in this paper has the advantages of low cost, convenient operation, perfect function, high precision, stable and reliable operation, etc. and has good practical value.

Abstract:
Subjective fatigue of 11 C-141 pilots serving in the United States Air Force Military Airlift Command (MAC) during the Desert Storm campaign was assessed in a 30-day field study. Subjective fatigue measures were obtained from pilots at the beginning and end of each duty day using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) fatigue dimension. Also, a 7-point fatigue rating was recorded every 4 hours. The two fatigue measures were each evaluated with respect to (1) 48-hr cumulative flight time, (2) 48-hr cumulative sleep time and (3) 30-day cumulative flight time. The data indicate that at least 15 hours of sleep per 48-hr time period is needed to avoid pilot fatigue. Recent flight time was also found to be related to subjective fatigue, but this relationship seems rooted loss of sleep during long flights. Cumulative 30-day flight time, which is the measure currently used to regulate flight hours, was not related to increases in subjective fatigue.

Abstract:
Après la fondation de la première chartreuse en 1084 par Bruno de Cologne dans les Alpes, ces monastères, installés au départ dans des sites isolés, furent réputés pour leur austérité. Les moines, qui faisaient vœu de silence, vivaient reclus dans leur cellules la plupart du temps, ne se retrouvant que deux fois par jour pour célébrer la messe. Dans ce cadre, qui a donné lieu à une architecture spécifique, les premières mentions d’œuvres d’art, dans la législation, apparaissent dans la deuxième moitié du XIIIe siècle. Cette période correspondait à la fois à une modification de la structure de l’ordre, prenant en compte l’accroissement du nombre des maisons, et aux premières fondations à proximité des villes. Le rapprochement des centres urbains allait déterminer une relation nouvelle entre les chartreux et leurs bienfaiteurs, exprimée dans les donations d’œuvres d’art en vue de la commémoration. Si de la chartreuse de Vauvert, établie près de Paris en 1259, subsistent surtout des relevés de plaques de fondation et de tombeaux, les commandes d’œuvres d’art pour les chartreuses princières et royales de Champmol et de Miraflores, destinées à recevoir les tombeaux de leurs fondateurs, étaient plus variées. L’implication des chartreux dans l’aménagement du décor de leurs maisons est attestée par les sources. Elle peut être observée lorsqu’ils recevaient les dons d’œuvres d’art de la part de plusieurs bienfaiteurs et elle prend un sens particulier quand les frères commandaient eux-mêmes des tableaux. Dans la spiritualité des chartreux, les œuvres d’art avaient un rôle au sujet duquel les moines, en participant à leur création, pouvaient nous renseigner
Following the foundation of the first charterhouse by Bruno of Cologne, in 1084, in the Alps, these monasteries, established at first in solitary places, were well-known for their austere conditions. The monks, which had taken a vow of silence, lived isolated in their cells most of the time, meeting each other only twice a day, to celebrate mass. In these monasteries, characterized by their own architecture, the first mentions of artworks, in the legislation, date from the second half of the 13th century. At that time, the structure of the order was being revised by taking into account the multiplication of the charterhouses. Furthermore, the first foundations near cities were then established. This proximity to urban centres would determine a new relationship between Carthusians and their benefactors, visible through the donations of works of art for commemoration. From the charterhouse of Vauvert, established near Paris in 1259, have been preserved mostly drawings of memorial tablets or tombs. Nonetheless, for the princely and royal charterhouses of Champmol and Miraflores, that were to house the tombs of their founders, the commissions of works of art were more varied. The Carthusians’ participation in building the appearance of their monasteries is attested by the sources. This fact may also be observed when the Carthusians received donations of works of art from several benefactors and a special significance is attached to it when the brothers themselves commissioned paintings. In Carthusian spirituality, works of art had a role about which the monks, by involving themselves in their creation, could inform us

Abstract:
Les jeux à champ moyen (MFG) sont une classe de jeux différentiels dans lequel chaque agent est infinitésimal et interagit avec une énorme population d'agents. Dans cette thèse, nous soulevons la question de la formation effective de l'équilibre MFG. En effet, le jeu étant très complexe, il est irréaliste de supposer que les agents peuvent réellement calculer la configuration d'équilibre. Cela semble indiquer que si la configuration d'équilibre se présente, c'est parce que les agents ont appris à jouer au jeu. Donc, la question principale est de trouver des procédures d'apprentissage dans les jeux à champ moyen et d'analyser leurs convergences vers un équilibre. Nous nous sommes inspirés par des schémas d'apprentissage dans les jeux statiques et avons essayé de les appliquer à notre modèle dynamique de MFG. Nous nous concentrons particulièrement sur les applications de fictitious play et online mirror descent sur différents types de jeux de champs moyens : Potentiel, Monotone ou Discret
Mean Field Games (MFG) are a class of differential games in which each agent is infinitesimal and interacts with a huge population of other agents. In this thesis, we raise the question of the actual formation of the MFG equilibrium. Indeed, the game being quite involved, it is unrealistic to assume that the agents can compute the equilibrium configuration. This seems to indicate that, if the equilibrium configuration arises, it is because the agents have learned how to play the game. Hence the main question is to find learning procedures in mean field games and investigating if they converge to an equilibrium. We have inspired from the learning schemes in static games and tried to apply them to our dynamical model of MFG. We especially focus on fictitious play and online mirror descent applications on different types of mean field games; those are either Potential, Monotone or Discrete

Abstract Generally speaking, one thinks of Peking Opera as a traditional performance system in which experimentation only plays a minor role; it is a fact that because of its sophisticated sign system, convention in Peking Opera is not changed as easy as in the case of regional theatre, folk theatre and Western spoken theatre. From the twentieth century on, however, the influence of foreign ideas caused Peking Opera and other Chinese art forms to gradually westernize. I do not intend to analyze this early experimental stage, but closely consider how local theatre, realism and world classics have influenced the role categories in contemporary Peking Opera (i.e. operas in the period after 1949). In my thesis I choose to analyze exquisite fragments of the contemporary plays Mu Kuei-ying Takes Command (1959), Red Azalea Mountain (1974) and Kingdom of Desire (1986) because their performance art is representative of the experimentation in the contemporary classic theatre. Except for the performance an sich, I also add a chapter on the social background and the characterization in the textual play for each fragment. In the first play Mu Kuei-ying Takes Command Mei Lan-fang impersonates the role Mu Kuei-ying. Although Mei Lan-fang is mostly thought of as the symbol of traditional Peking Opera, but he already began to perform experimental plays in modern dress in the early twentieth century. As soon as he realized the new dress and the codified movements did not harmonize, however, he gave up similar experiments. But during the campaign of "Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom" in the late fifties. Mei had to think of a new creation that fit the ideology of that period. He chose to adapt a play he had once seen in the Honan province because the theme of an old Mu Kuei-ying who decides to fight for the fatherland greatly suited the taste of the communist government. Mei Lan-fang became inspired by the "female warrior" character role that is typical for the Honanese Opera. As such he did not restrict himself to the available female character roles in Peking Opera to impersonate the heroine Mu Kuei-ying. The second play Red Azalea Mountain belongs to the revolutionary Peking operas of the seventies. As the content is related to the communist revolution, the actors use Peking Opera and realistic movements. The analysis of the fragment ''Azaleas in Spring'' points out that the leading actress combines techniques that belong to the female and male character role. Moreover, even in great distress the heroine never looks miserable as often is the case with heroines of the classical repertoire; she is willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of the Party. The story of the Taiwanese production Kingdom of Desire is inspired by Shakespeare''s Macbeth. Similar adaptations of western classics became very popular across the straits after the eighties. In 1986, for example, Shanghai organized a Shakespeare Festival in which tens of regional theatre troupes interpreted Shakespeare in their own way. The analysis of Kingdom of Desire is very useful to better understand how Peking Opera actors create roles that have not been taught by their master. In this play Taiwan''s leading actress Wei Hai-min combines different aspects of several female roles in Peking Opera and creates movements to cope with the newly designed clothes. It is clear from the fragment ''Washing of Hands'' , however, that the actress does not give up the basic aesthetics of Peking Opera. By analyzing this play I want to understand what effect Western classics have on the classical Peking Opera and how performers cope with this innovation. Through my analysis of the three contemporary plays, I attempt to map out the big currents of experimentation within the contemporary Peking Opera. I conclude by stating that contemporary Peking Opera should continue with absorbing external influences. But this does not mean Peking Opera may be changed into a Western Theatre piece. Although the spoken theatre and film also have their performance code, but when experimenting with Peking Opera one should realize that the system of character roles which is closely interrelated with the Peking Opera should remain intact. That''s why post-modern pieces that put together various art forms but give up these character roles are not included in the discussion. They belong to so-called avant-garde. The thesis wants to demonstrate that (1) local theater plays an important role in the modernization of Peking Opera , (2) the performance system of revolutionary opera may be a valuable reference for further experiments and (3) foreign roles may greatly expand (and expanded already) the characterization within Peking Opera. It is a pity that on both sides of the Straits too much emphasis is put on the ''outstanding contributions'' of a specific troupe without creating pieces that have become popular. What the future Peking Opera mainly needs is not only innovation, but reflection on past experiments and cooperation between the troupes.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how equality in the eyes of the law would survive if legal commands are personalized and result in different rules for different people. It argues that nothing in the framework of personalized law violates equality before the law. On the contrary, personalized treatment provides tools to distribute rights and burdens in a manner that conforms to egalitarian views and to notions of desert and need. If desert and need are determined by relevant attributes in a proportional manner, a just system should treat people differently. The chapter examines how personalized law, when designed to promote goals other than equality, could be bolstered (or constrained) by various notions of distributive justice. It recognizes that the use of Big Data and artificial intelligence could itself be a source of injustice, perpetuating historical biases. The chapter discusses ways to resolve this concern. Finally, it compares the deliberate differentiation of commands under personalized law with unintended forms of differential treatment pervasive under uniform laws. It concludes that the use of a multitude of relevant factors to personalize commands, derived from transparent statistical methods, offers novel opportunities to promote distributive justice goals under the law.

Abstract:
From late June to mid-July 1864, the period between Grant’s Second and Third Petersburg Offensives, soldiers on both sides experienced hardships caused by drought and deluge, enervating heat, and particularly for the Confederates, an unreliable diet. Casualties mounted from relentless sharpshooting and mortar attacks, but the majority of soldiers in both armies maintained good morale. The average Johnny Reb believed that Robert E. Lee could never be driven from Petersburg and Richmond. Most Billy Yanks trusted their commander, Ulysses S. Grant, evincing a strong desire to see the war through to a successful conclusion, regardless of how long it took. Still, desertion began to plague both armies as the summer ground on with no end to the fighting in sight. The soldiers constructed ever more elaborate field fortifications and gradually adapted to life in their trenches and bombproofs. Grant detached most of his cavalry and an infantry corps to counter a threat to Washington posed by Confederates under Jubal Early and made a controversial change in the command of the 18th Corps.

This chapter moves the story from the New Deal to the U.S. Army. As the state's main wartime hub for psychological research, the Army Research Branch, headed by University of Chicago sociologist Samuel A. Stouffer, presented evidence to military commanders that better-educated soldiers were more efficient, exhibited higher morale, and were less likely to desert or suffer a psychoneurotic breakdown than their educationally deprived peers. Military and educational policymakers were galvanized by this finding and joined forces to create the Army Information and Education Division—the education clearinghouse for the common soldier. With the steady support of General George C. Marshall, the chief of staff of the army, who believed wholeheartedly in the transformative power of education, millions of G.I.s made use of the educational services provided to them.

Chapter Four follows the architects of the air war as they were shipped overseas to gain combat experience. General Hap Arnold knew that his most trusted subordinates would need combat missions on their records if they were going to be leaders in a post-war Air Force. Kuter was deployed overseas in October 1942 to take command of the First Bombardment Wing. When General Kuter assumed command he found four understrength groups of B-17's (Flying Fortresses) operating separately. He succeeded in welding the individual squadrons and groups into a coordinated fighting force. Despite his desire to stay and lead the wing, Kuter’s reputation proceeded him and he was forced to depart England only a few weeks after taking command of the wing.

Abstract:
The revolt commanded by Lucifer in the heaven marked a start in the cosmology of Christianity. Although scholars agree the problem of evilness as one of the most vivid contradictions of Catholic Church, it is clear that God forgives its life. Unlike other traditions or mythologies where the Gods kill the dissidents or inflict unbearable torments, Judaism and Christianity continue the dialectic relations between goodness and evilness by the introduction of forgiveness. That way, these cosmologies neglect the possibility of dying, creating the desire to embrace the life. The riot of Lucifer exhibits our ancient panic to the offspring death.

Abstract:
Abstract Nowadays, different kinds of problems such as modeling, optimal control, and machine learning can be formulated as an optimization problem. Gradient descent is the most popular method to solve such problem and many accelerated gradient descents have been designed to improve the performance. In this paper, we will analyze the basic gradient descent, momentum gradient descent, and Nesterov accelerated gradient descent from the system perspective and it is found that all of them can be formulated as a feedback control problem for tracking an extreme point. On this basis, a unified gradient descent design procedure is given, where a high order transfer function is considered. Furthermore, as an extension, both a fractional integrator and a general fractional transfer function are considered, which resulting in the fractional gradient descent. Due to the infinite-dimensional property of fractional order systems, numerical inverse Laplace transform and Matlab command stmcb() are used to realize a finite-order implementation for the fractional gradient descent. Besides the simplified design procedure, it is found that the convergence rate of fractional gradient descent is more robust to the step size by simulating results.
