GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIP:  
COMPUTATIONAL POLYMER PHYSICS
Purdue University
Whistler Center for Carbohydrate Research and
Computational Science and Engineering Program
West Lafayette, IN 47907-1160
Attention: Dr. R.P. Millane
Graduate assistantship available for study towards the Ph.D. 
degree in Purdue's Graduate Program in Computational Science and 
Engineering.  This position would suit someone interested in applying 
a sound background in theoretical/computational physics or 
engineering to simulation of the conformations, interactions,
and higher-level structure development of industrially important
water-soluble biopolymers.  The research project will involve 
theory and computational algorithms for polymer modeling 
(conformational analysis, statistical mechanics, Monte Carlo 
simulation, network formation).  Applicants should 
have a B.S. or, preferably, an M.S. degree, and have superior 
GPA and GRE scores.  Interested individuals should contact 
Dr. R.P. Millane at rmillane@purdue.edu.  
Purdue University is an AA/EO employer.

The Materials Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory has an 
immediate opening for a post-doctoral position in the research area of 
plastic deformation behavior in electron irradaited reactor pressure 
vessel alloys.
Qualifications:  Experience involving hands-on mechanical testing of 
alloys using non-standard sample sizes and shapes is required, along with 
the ability to devise innovative strain measurement instrumentation for 
ultra-small samples. The ability to communicate and interact with vendors 
and machine shops in the acquisition of special experimental equipment is 
essential.  The ability to use, write and modify  software designed to 
control mechanical tests and acquire data is needed.  Knowledge of the 
scientific concepts and mechanisms that underlie the mechanical behavior 
of materials is required, and an understanding of irradiation damage 
concepts and the way irradiation-produced defects can affect mechanical 
behavior is strongly desired. The level of knowledge, skill and experience 
needed is consistent with a recently attained Ph.D. in materials science 
or nuclear engineering with an emphasis on mechanical properties of 
materials with exposure to irradiation effects phenomena.
Basic Purpose: To contribute to the understanding of the effects of 
irradiation damage on the mechanical behavior of structural alloys by 
performing experimental research in mechanical testing and electron 
irradiation.

You can now measure 8 independent thermocouples (C,E,J,K,T,R, & S types)
simultaneously with your PC using either DOS or Windows at low cost.
Temperature monitor plugs directly into serial port of PC for direct 
display of temperature vs. time in either tabular or graphic format with 
data storage to disk. The monitor comes complete with software program 
for PC.  For further details contact Lazar Research Labs. Inc. at

		ASSISTANTSHIPS  AVAILABLE 
		FOR M.S. AND  Ph.D.  PROGRAMS
	A  couple of  graduate research assistantships are available for
spring'97 enrollement in the M.S. and Ph. D. programs.
	The research will involve the growth, characterization and
fabrication of Sb based laser/ detection structures; study of Sb based
materials grown by heavily instrumented Molecular Beam Epitaxy. A variety
of other facilities are available within the lab for these materials,
namely high resolution x-ray diffractometer, low temperature
photoreflectance, low temperature Hall measurements. 
	 The position will remain open until filled. However, to be given
full consideration applicants must send their resumes to:

Hi !
I am studying mechanical engineering in Germany. Part of mystudies is a
five - month practical term at a company in order to use the gained theo-
retical knowledge in pratical work.
Therefore I am searching for american companies, dealing with construction
of mechanical engines and equipments in order to poste them my application.
You would be a great help if you could name me a few american companies ( I
will look for their addresses for myself ), preferably major companies.
Please send me a private mail !
Thank you very much
Bye, Frank Bongartz

"VITA SEXUALIS", a pioneering, comprehensive human sexuality manual by 
Dr.Pawel Klinger, my father, was first published in Poland in 1930.
Although written 66 years ago, much of the material remains valid today and 
provides insights into the state of sexological, medical and 
psychological knowledge in Poland in the first quarter of this century.
Intended for the better-educated laity, it received enthusiastic approval
from the Polish press and went to three editions prior to 1939.
Now translated into English by the author's son, Jerzy Klinger, it is
made available FREE to interested persons as an MsWks. Zip File which can
be read via MS Works or Word. 
E-mail to: jerry@treko.net.au  for access.

No, I mean to say that the cepstrum was redefined for the 
sake of military secrets.  What makes you say that the 
difference between DFT(log|DFT(.)|) and IDFT(log|DFT(.)|) 
is a scaling factor?

How can the original use of a novel term be wrong?  I've been 
studying this topic for over a year, and I have no doubt that the 
Schafer-Oppenheim cepstrum is very nearly the identity; it's only 
a slight convolution.  If you would read Appendix 2 of the 
Bogert, Healy, and Tukey paper, it will be quite clear that their 
definition is rock-solid.

What's implausable about a government at war (c. 1970) and with 
much earlier levels of encryption technology wanting to protect 
cockpit and other high-noise-environment voice radio encryption 
schemes from automated attacks which require a way to determine 
when the plaintext speech has been recovered?
Could it be that H-P, one of the founders of which was 
Secretary of Defense in that era, might have been involved?
