We present discrete energy decay results for the Yee scheme applied to Maxwell's equations in Debye and Lorentz dispersive media. These estimates provide stability conditions for the Yee scheme in the corresponding media. In particular, we show that the stability conditions are the same as those for the Yee scheme...
We study the stability properties of, and the phase error present in, several higher order (in space) staggered finite difference schemes for Maxwell's equations coupled with a Debye or Lorentz polarization model. We present a novel expansion of the symbol of finite difference approximations, of arbitrary (even) order, of the...
Understanding the drivers of species occurrence is a fundamental goal in basic and applied ecology. Occupancy models have emerged as a popular approach for inferring species occurrence because they account for problems associated with imperfect detection in field surveys. Current models, however, are limited because they assume covariates are independent...

This study Is a rhetorical analysis of ten documents of Joseph
Smith, Jr's. early revelations spanning the period of 1829 to 1831
to determine the extent to which he used demagogic rhetoric in pursuit
of his goals. A definition of demagoguery is provided and is
applied in an analysis of...
