Walter Lippmann and American Democracy
… journalist and political thinker Walter Lippmann within the intellectual history of American democracy in the early twentieth century. It argues that he shaped this history more distinctively and more contingently than the existing scholarship allows. Contesting the elitist vision of …

Machine Learning Regularized Solution of the Lippmann-Schwinger Equation
The Lippmann-Schwinger equation has been applied on various branches of physics, especially optical and quantum scattering. Solving the equation requires the inversion of a linear operator specified by the scattering potential, which is ill-conditioned. To resolve numerical difficulty originating …

Walter Lippmann's Search for a Sustainable Liberalism
Walter Lippmann’s intellectual journey represents the journey of American liberalism in the 20th century: an attempted return from infatuation with the progressive ideals of inevitable historical development and scientific progress to the stability of human rights and freedom. America’s path to …

The Hologram and its Antecedents 1891–1965: The Illusory History of a Three–Dimensional Illusion
Since 1962, a photographic invention by Gabriel Lippmann (1845-1921), his Nobel Prize winning interference colour photograph of 1891, has been cited by physicists as the antecedent of the three-dimensional hologram. However, Dennis Gabor (1900-1979) in his original publications on the hologram of …

Reconsidering Randy Shilts: examining the reportage of America's AIDS chronicler
… context of twentieth century philosophers Walter Lippmann and John Dewey. Reporter functions demonstrated by Shilts are examined, including those dictated by expectations of either strong journalistic influence over society and media consumers, or those more aligned with democratic practices where …

American Feminism and Social Democracy
… however, the "central validity" of which Lippmann speaks and around which the definitions revolve should be established. The core of both social democracy and feminism, as they are to be used here, is a particular understanding of the notion of equality.</p>

Heavy-Ion Interaction Models for Radiation Transport
… ion types and their extensive energy range, The Lippmann-Schwinger equation is numerically solved in momentum space for a first order optical potential (free space case) and calculations are made for the total and absorption cross sections for nudeus-nucleus scattering. Absorption cross sections …

The microstructure of confined and thin polymer films
Polymers find wide application in biology and medical research. They can simulate the properties of some bio-composites, which are included into the cell structure of all living organisms. The application of polymers as building materials of membranes has pushed forward the investigation of polymer …

Scalar Scattering Theory and Physics-inspired Optimization for Computational Imaging
… optical scattering approximations, including the Lippmann-Schwinger Equation (LSE). For phase retrieval, this work introduces mathematical approaches to reduce the TIE's sensitivity to experimental conditions and provides a quantitative comparison with other methods to clarify its applicability. …

Propaganda, surveillance and cyberspace: consequences of online dirty tricks
… online? Will society descend into what Walter Lippmann has described as a phantom public that is devoid of lucid thought and the confidence to endure the modern cyber terrain? This research sets out to explore the ramifications of modern propaganda and surveillance measures in society. …

Governing Visions of the Real. The New Zealand National Film Unit, Griersonian Documentary & State Publicity
… Such problematisations are traced back to Walter Lippmann and John Grierson. The latter developed a programme for democratic government through the use of documentary film that shaped the approach to film production taken by the NFU. By drawing on Michel Foucault's concepts of the dispositive and …

A liberalizmus gazdaságelméleti hagyományai, különös tekintettel az etikai megalapozásra
… liberális közeg tagjai végül az 1938-as Lippmann-konferencián kívántak pontot tenni. Azt a kérdést akarták megválaszolni, hogy vajon a liberalizmus sikertelenségét a „klasszikus liberális elvek mind nagyobb elárulása”, vagy a „hozzájuk végletekig való ragaszkodás” okozza. A dolgozat azt …

Geochemistry of Reworked Loess and Red Clays in Missouri Caves
Sediments in caves preserve clues to cave history, landscape evolution, and past climate and biological activity. This project contributes the first known comprehensive chemical compositional analysis of two prevalent "types" of sediment found in Missouri caves: (1) tan-colored silty sediments …

Evaluating sources of volatile organic compounds in Colorado workplaces via positive matrix factorization
Recognition of the health risks associated with exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particularly in indoor environments, has increased the need for a stronger understanding and management of air quality. Exposure to VOCs, emitted from various sources like building materials, office …
