...There are an array of issues," said Reeves, who last ran in the '85 election. "The most pressing will be the issue of the uncontrolled development of the city and the potential importance of Proposition...
Behind the burst of activity is a dramatic advance in computer technology. Over the years, computer scientists have devised an impressive array of mathematical techniques, or algorithms, for rendering 3-D images on a 2-D computer screen. Traditionally, these algorithms -- for drawing things in perspective, for example, removing surfaces hidden from the viewer's line of sight or painting finished objects with texture and shade -- have been encoded in programs and stored in computers as software. As such, they used up massive quantities of computer time. To draw a simple object ten times a second, the minimum needed...
AMERICANS like criticizing their government. On any given day in any large U.S. city, elected officials field a bewildering array of complaints, ranging from relatively trivial matters of garbage pickup and snow removal to deeper issues of police brutality and development...
...part, the U.S. Defense Department, based on its history of cooperation with the Japanese Defense Agency, sees few dangers in the FSX. Pentagon planners say the Japanese will learn little from the aging F-16 airframe. At the same time, the Pentagon covets Japan's miniaturized phased- $ array radar technology, which will use thousands of tiny, independent sensors to sweep large sections of the sky. The new radar will provide sharper resolution and greater range than traditional back-and-forth scanners. In addition, the Japanese will pay for the development of a larger, stronger and lighter wing...
More exhaustive tests are under way. Among the most promising is a collaboration between Brookhaven National Laboratory and Yale University. Says Moshe Gai, a Yale physicist who is a member of the team: "We've got first- class chemists and physicists and an array of neutron detectors." Brookhaven physicist Kelvin Lynn believes they should know very soon whether last month's announcements represent an unidentified chemical reaction or an ) unsuspected form of fusion. The world can hardly wait for an answer...
