Technology : The Emergence of a Hazardous Concept
Authors: Marx Leo
Published: August 2010

When the word technology was introduced into American English in the nineteenth century, it referred to the study of—or treatises in—the mechanic arts. It did not achieve currency as a reference to those arts as such until c. 1900–1930. By the 1840s, however, when Daniel Webster eloquently summarized the remarkable transformation of life attributable to advances in science and what later would come to be called technology , public discourse was filled with evidence of a semantic void that eventually would be filled by the concept—the word— technology . Two kinds of development—one conceptual or ideological, and the other substantive or mechanical—created the need for the new concept. By the end of the century it had become evident that Webster had been seeking to identify—to name—a novel form of human power with far greater efficacy and scope than that previously ascribed to the mechanic or useful arts. The new power is what we call technology .
How Blind Is Love?: Simon Winchester's The Man Who Loved China
Authors: Bray Francesca
Published: August 2010

Joseph Needham's Science and Civilisation in China revolutionized conventional views of the history of science and technology. The first volumes were welcomed as works of astonishing erudition and intellectual daring, but later Needham was increasingly criticized for promoting an outdated model of how science, technology and society are related, and for exaggerating the scientific achievements of premodern China. Winchester is neither a historian of science nor a historian of technology, still less a committed Marxist philosopher of science as Needham was. His popular biography of Needham presents his great enterprise almost as a caricature of the shortcomings for which it was criticized and ignores many of its most significant and enduring strengths. This essay considers the positive legacy and reworkings of Needham's critical crusade to present science and technology as a common human project, always and everywhere a product of intercultural flows and exchanges rather than the unique fruit of Western superiority.
Atoms for Sale?: Cold War Institution-Building and the South Korean Atomic Energy Project, 1945–1965
Authors: DiMoia John
Published: August 2010

The Atoms for Peace program has typically been read as primarily a project of American Cold War ideology, supplying very little in the way of substantive materials and training to participating partner nations. This article challenges this position by bringing in the additional perspective of the recipient as an actor, in this case South Korea during the early stages of its post–Korean War reconstruction (1953– ). As Atoms for Peace arrived in Seoul in the late 1950s, a complex set of actors—on the American side, representatives of the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project, and on the Korean side, representatives of the Ministry of Education—came together on these issues, with the Koreans seeking to gain maximum advantage from their sponsors. While the question of what Atoms for Peace supplied in material terms remains highly relevant, ideologically the program helped to transform the colonial Korean participants into "free world" post-colonial scientists. Moreover, the program also served as a form of subsidy through the early 1960s, allowing South Korea to retain many of its scientists, who would otherwise have likely gone abroad.
On the Water: Stories from Maritime America : National Museum of American History, Washington, D.C.
Authors: Roland Alex
Published: August 2010

On the Water: Stories from Maritime America has opened at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. Brilliantly conceived and beautifully executed, the exhibit leads the visitor through seven topical/chronological sections that explore the many ways in which Americans from colonial times to the present have pursued commerce at sea and on America's extensive coastal and inland waterways. The exhibit does not cover naval activities or recreational boating, nor does it pay much attention to technology as a category of analysis. But within the realm of maritime experience it explores, the exhibit carries the visitor seamlessly through topics as diverse as commercial fishing, passenger liners, the slave trade, container ships, and the contributions of the merchant marine to victory in World War II. It marshals impressive artifacts, flawless audiovisual aides, instructive texts, and a powerful aesthetic to make a museum experience that is as pleasing as it is instructive.
"War upon the Map": User Innovation in American Military Software
Authors: Lindsay Jon R.
Published: August 2010

The role of users as agents of technological change has been well established in the commercial realm, but military bureaucracy poses challenges to user innovation in theory and practice. This article relates the history of a U.S. military software application called FalconView, which emerged in the 1990s as a user-developed alternative to official Air Force mission planning systems and then evolved through user networks in the 2000s to become a de facto standard for geospatial information processing in all the services. Military user innovation in information technology is far more prevalent than generally assumed, but in order to sustain user-centered alternatives to traditional bureaucratic procurement over the long term, ironically enough, enthusiasts must adopt bureaucratic characteristics. This case offers new perspectives on the role of technology users, the sources of military innovation, the "revolution in military affairs," and computing historiography.
Living Lawns, Dying Waters: The Suburban Boom, Nitrogenous Fertilizers, and the Nonpoint Source Pollution Dilemma
Authors: Whitney Kristoffer
Published: August 2010

The rise of a lawn-dominated, suburban landscape in the United States after World War II brought with it not only a pervasive aesthetic infrastructure, but also widespread environmental consequences in the form of nutrient pollution in runoff. This paper examines the technical, legal, and social aspects of lawnscape creation in America and posits a nearly intractable dilemma in the incommensurability between the material and social realities of this large sociotechnical system and the evolution of U.S. water pollution regulation. The details of these unintended consequences are worth understanding not only for environmental advocates interested in resolving this dilemma and protecting waterways from eutrophication, but also for historians of technology continuing to develop a more complete historical picture of modern landscapes and infrastructures.
Social Learning in Social Networks
Authors: Lamberson PJ
Published: August 2010

This paper analyzes a model of social learning in a social network. Agents decide whether or not to adopt a new technology with unknown payoffs based on their prior beliefs and the experiences of their neighbors in the network. Using a mean-field approximation, we prove that the diffusion process always has at least one stable equilibrium, and we examine the dependence of the set of equilibria on the model parameters and the structure of the network. In particular, we show how first and second order stochastic dominance shifts in the degree distribution of the network impact diffusion. We find that the relationship between equilibrium diffusion levels and network structure depends on the distribution of payoffs to adoption and the distribution of agents' prior beliefs regarding those payoffs, and we derive the precise conditions characterizing those relationships. For example, in contrast to contagion models of diffusion, we find that a first order stochastic dominance shift in the degree distribution can either increase or decrease equilibrium diffusion levels depending on the relationship between agents' prior beliefs and the payoffs to adoption. Surprisingly, adding more links can decrease diffusion even when payoffs from the new technology exceed those of the status quo in expectation.
Revealed Preference with Stochastic Demand Correspondence
Authors: Dasgupta Indraneel , Pattanaik P. K
Published: August 2010

We extend the revealed preference theory of consumers behavior originating in Samuelsons Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference to simultaneously permit both non-singleton choice sets and random choice. We provide a consistency postulate for demand behavior when such behavior is represented in terms of a stochastic demand correspondence. When the consumer spends his or her entire wealth, our rationality postulate is equivalent to a condition we term stochastic substitutability. This equivalence generates as special cases in most of the basic results regarding consumers demand behavior in the existing revealed preference literature.
In vivo effects of adjunctive tetracycline treatment on refractory corneal ulcers in dogs
Authors: Chandler Heather L. , Gemensky-Metzler Anne J. , Bras I. Dineli , Robbin-Webb Terah E. , Saville William J. A. , Colitz Carmen M. H.
Published: August 2010

Objective—To evaluate effect of adjunctive treatment with tetracycline analogues on time to complete corneal reepithelialization in dogs with nonhealing (ie, refractory) corneal ulcers.

Design—Randomized controlled clinical trial.

Animals—89 dogs with refractory corneal ulcers.

Procedures—Corneal ulcers were treated via debridement and grid keratotomy. Dogs were assigned to receive 1 of 3 treatment regimens for up to 6 weeks: doxycycline (5 mg/kg [2.27 mg/lb], PO, q 12 h) with topically applied ophthalmic ointment containing neomycin, polymyxin B, and bacitracin (ie, triple antibiotic ointment; q 8 h); cephalexin (22 mg/kg [10 mg/lb], PO, q 12 h) with topically applied oxytetracycline ophthalmic ointment (q 8 h); or a control treatment of cephalexin (22 mg/kg, PO, q 12 h) with topically applied triple antibiotic ointment (q 8 h). Healing was monitored via measurements of the wound with calipers and evaluation of photographs obtained every 2 weeks. Treatment effectiveness was evaluated by wound healing and decreased signs of pain.

Results—The Boxer breed was overrepresented in all groups. At the 2-week time point, wound healing was significantly more common in small-breed dogs, compared with large-breed dogs. Dogs treated with oxytetracycline ophthalmic ointment had a significantly shorter healing time than did dogs receiving the control treatment. Corneal ulcers in dogs that received doxycycline PO healed more rapidly than did ulcers in dogs in the control treatment group; however, this difference was not significant.

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Topical tetracycline ophthalmic ointment was a safe, inexpensive, and effective adjunctive treatment for refractory corneal ulcers in dogs.
Effects of infiltration of the incision site with bupivacaine on postoperative pain and incisional healing in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy
Authors: Fitzpatrick Courtney L. , Weir Heather L. , Monnet Eric
Published: August 2010

Objective—To determine the effects of infiltration of the incision site with bupivacaine hydrochloride as part of a multimodal analgesia protocol (incisional block) on postoperative analgesia and incisional healing.

Design—Randomized controlled clinical trial.

Animals—92 shelter-owned female dogs undergoing routine ovariohysterectomy.

Procedures—As part of a multimodal analgesic protocol for ovariohysterectomy, dogs received 1 of the following treatments at the incision site: no injection (26 dogs), preincisional infiltration with saline (0.9% NaCl) solution (12 dogs) or bupivacaine (21 dogs), or postincisional infiltration with bupivacaine (33 dogs). Postoperative pain was assessed with the Glasgow pain scale and response to mechanical stimulation with von Frey filaments. Incisions were monitored for signs of inflammation (edema, erythema, and discharge) and complications in wound healing.

Results—There was no difference in pain scores or response to mechanical stimulation over time among treatments. There were no significant differences in incisional edema or discharge among treatments. There was significantly more erythema in dogs that received preincisional infiltration with saline solution at 4 hours after surgery and less erythema in dogs that received postincisional infiltration with bupivacaine at 24 hours after surgery, compared with other treatments. The number of complications for dogs that had preincisional infiltration of bupivacaine was higher than for dogs that had other treatments; complications included excessive inflammation, splenic laceration, and herniation.

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—No additional analgesic benefit was found in dogs that underwent local bupivacaine infiltration as part of a multimodal analgesic protocol for ovariohysterectomy.
Agreement between directly measured blood pressure and pressures obtained with three veterinary-specific oscillometric units in cats
Authors: Acierno Mark J. , Seaton Diana , Mitchell Mark A. , da Cunha Anderson
Published: August 2010

Objective—To determine whether veterinary-specific oscillometric blood pressure units yield measurements that are in good agreement with directly measured blood pressures in cats.

Design—Evaluation study.

Animals—21 cats undergoing routine spaying or neutering.

Procedures—A 24-gauge catheter was inserted in a dorsal pedal artery, and systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressures were directly measured with a validated pressure measurement system. Values were compared with indirect blood pressure measurements obtained with 3 veterinary-specific oscillometric blood pressure units.

Results—There was poor agreement between indirectly and directly measured blood pressures. For unit 1, bias between indirectly and directly measured values was −14.9 mm Hg (95% limits of agreement [LOA], −52.2 to 22.4 mm Hg), 4.4 mm Hg (95% LOA, −26.0 to 34.8 mm Hg), and −1.3 mm Hg (95% LOA, −26.7 to 24.1 mm Hg) for systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressures, respectively. For unit 2, bias was −10.3 mm Hg (95% LOA, −52.9 to 32.2 mm Hg), 13.0 mm Hg (95% LOA, −32.1 to 58.0 mm Hg), and 9.1 mm Hg (95% LOA, −32.9 to 51.2 mm Hg) for systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressures, respectively. For unit 3, bias was −13.4 mm Hg (95% LOA, −51.8 to 25.1 mm Hg), 8.0 mm Hg (95% LOA, −25.5 to 41.6 mm Hg), and −3.6 mm Hg (95% LOA, −31.6 to 24.5 mm Hg) for systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressures, respectively.

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Results suggested that none of the 3 veterinary-specific oscillometric blood pressure units could be recommended for indirect measurement of blood pressure in cats.
Epidemiological Investigation of Bovine Ephemeral Fever Outbreaks in Israel
Authors: Yeruham Israel , Van Ham Michael , Stram Yehuda , Friedgut Orly , Yadin Hagai , Mumcuoglu Kosta Y. , Braverman Yehuda
Published: August 2010

Outbreaks of bovine ephemeral fever (BEF) occurred in Israel in 1990, 1999, and 2004. The main patterns of BEF spread were similar in the 1990 and in 1999 epidemics, and the BEF virus was probably carried in vectors transported by air streams across the Rift Valley and the Red Sea. In the 2004 outbreak, the primary focus of the disease was the southern Mediterranean coastal plain and the disease agent was apparently brought by infected mosquitoes carried from their breeding site in the Nile Delta by the south-western winds. The disease broke out under optimal ecological conditions, among a vulnerable cattle population and spread rapidly; it showed essentially a spring-summer herd incidence and terminated soon after the night average ambient temperature fell below in late autumn. The herd incidence of the disease reached 78.4%, 97.7%, and 100% in 1990, 1999, and 2004, respectively. The highest herd incidence, morbidity, and case fatality rates were noted in dairy cattle herds in the Jordan Valley, with morbidity of 20%, 38.6%, and 22.2%, and case fatality rate among affected animals of 2%, 8.6%, and 5.4% in 1990, 1999, and 2004, respectively. The average sero-positivity to BEF in 1999 was 39.5%, which matched the morbidity rate. Comparison among the various age groups showed that the lowest morbidity rates were observed in the youngest age group, that is, heifers up to 1 year, with 3.2%, 3.6%, and 4.2% in 1990, 1999, and 2004, respectively. In heifers from 1 year to calving, the morbidity rates were 13.8%, 14.9%, and 28%, respectively, in first calvers 30.8%, 31.6%, and 28.3%, respectively, and in cows 34.3%, 35.7%, and 27.2%, respectively. All affected cattle were over the age of 3 months. It is hypothesized that mosquitoes and notCulicoidesspp. are the vectors of the BEF virus in Israel.

Homogeneous representations of Khovanov–Lauda Algebras
Authors: Kleshchev Alexander S. , Ram Arun
Published: August 2010

We construct irreducible graded representations of simply laced Khovanov–Lauda algebras which are concentrated in one degree. The underlying combinatorics of skew shapes and standard tableaux corresponding to arbitrary simply laced types has been developed previously by Peterson, Proctor and Stembridge. In particular, the Peterson–Proctor hook formula gives the dimensions of the homogeneous irreducible modules corresponding to straight shapes.

NOx Reduction Characteristics for Different Composition Ratios of Pt/Al2O3, Rh/Al2O3 Catalyst Mixtures Using Model Gas as Reformates
Authors: Chung Jinhwa , Lim Suchol , Ha Jongju , Song Soonho , Chun Kwangmin
Published: August 2010

This study investigated the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides (NOx) with hydrocarbon in the presence of excess oxygen using various composition ratios of Pt/Al2O3, Rh/Al2O3 catalyst mixtures. The composition ratios were 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 1:3 and 3:1 of 1 wt% Pt/Al2O3 and Rh/Al2O3, which are known to exhibit efficient NOx reduction at low and high temperatures among the noble metal catalysts. Experiments conducted on a single reductant revealed that more efficient NOx conversion could be obtained when Pt/Al2O3 and Rh/Al2O3 were mixed at a ratio of 3:1, rather than 1:1 or 1:3. In a single reductant condition, C3H6 800 ppm (2400 ppmC1) and 400 ppm (1200 ppmC1) exhibited 50% and 38% NOx conversion efficiency at 200°C, respectively. However, NOx conversion efficiency gradually decreased when temperatures were increased above 250°C. With regard to Pt/Al2O3 and Rh/Al2O3 ratio, higher ratios of Rh/Al2O3 activated this Pt+Rh/Al2O3 catalyst in the high temperature range.
Isolation of Natural Colorants from Lagerstroemia indica: Kinetic and Adsorption Studies
Authors: Vinod K. N. , Puttaswamy  , Ninge Gowda K. N. , Sudhakar R.
Published: August 2010

The color components extracted and isolated from the fruits of Lagerstroemia indica were characterized by NMR, mass, IR and UV/visible spectral techniques. The bio‐colorants isolated were found to be quercetin and apigenin. The dyed samples exhibited good colour fastness to washing and perspiration. CIE Lab values have also been evaluated. The rate of dyeing was higher at higher temperature. The thermodynamic parameters were evaluated using Arrhenius plot. The positive value of enthalpy change (ΔH≠) indicated endothermic nature of adsorption, the high negative entropy (ΔS≠) revealed that the color components adsorb more orderly on silk and the positive value of free energy (ΔG≠) validated the strong affinity between adsorbent and adsorbate. Adsorption study was carried out based on the model proposed by Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin and Pyzhev isotherm to account for the observed results. The Freundlich isotherm was found to fit best with high regression coefficient. The colorants obtained from Lagerstroemia indica fruit could form a potential source as a dye for textile dyeing.
Crystal Structure, Lattice Energy, and Standard Molar Enthalpy of Formation of the Complex (C11H18NO)2CuCl4 (s)
Authors: Dan Wenyan , Chen Jingtao , Di Youying , Kong Yuxia , Wang Qiang , Yang Weiwei , Wang Daqi
Published: August 2010

The complex (C11H18NO)2CuCl4 (s), which may be a potential effective drug, was synthesized. X‐ray crystallography, elemental analysis, and chemical analysis were used to characterize the structure and composition of the complex. Lattice energy and ionic radius of the anion of the complex were derived from the crystal data of the title compound. In addition, a reasonable thermochemical cycle was designed, and standard molar enthalpies of dissolution for reactants and products of the synthesis reaction of the complex were measured by an isoperibol solution‐reaction calorimeter. The enthalpy change of the reaction was calculated to be ΔrH⊖m=(2.69±0.02) kJ·mol−1 from the data of the above standard molar enthalpies of dissolution. Finally, the standard molar enthalpy of formation of the title compound was determined to be ΔrH⊖m[(C11 H18NO)2CuCl4, s]= − (1822.96±6.80) kJ·mol−1 in accordance with Hess law.
