Particular Solutions For Axisymmetric Helmholtz-Type Operators, A.S. Muleshkov, M.A. Golberg, C.S. Chen Nov 2005

Particular Solutions For Axisymmetric Helmholtz-Type Operators, A.S. Muleshkov, M.A. Golberg, C.S. Chen

Faculty Publications

In this paper, we consider the solution of the axisymmetric heat equation with axisymmetric data in an axisymmetric domain in R-3. To solve this problem, we remove the time-dependence by various transform or time-stepping methods. This converts the problem to one of a sequence of modified inhomogeneous Helmholtz equations. Generalizing previous work, we consider solving these equations by boundary-type methods. In order to do this, one needs to subtract off a particular solution, so that one obtains a sequence of modified homogeneous Helmholtz equations. We do this by modifying the usual Dual Reciprocity Method (DRM) and approximating the right-hand sides …


Conjugacy Classes And Finite P-Groups, Edith Adan-Bante Oct 2005

Conjugacy Classes And Finite P-Groups, Edith Adan-Bante

Faculty Publications

Let G be a finite p-group, where p is a prime number, and aG. Denote by Cl(a) = {gag−1| gG} the conjugacy class of a in G. Assume that |Cl(a)| = p n . Then Cl(a) Cl(a−1) = {xy | x ∈ Cl(a), yCl(a−1)} is the union of at least n(p − 1) + 1 distinct conjugacy classes of G.


Induced Matter: Curved N-Manifolds Encapsulated In Riemann-Flat N+1 Dimensional Space, Harry I. Ringermacher, Lawrence R. Mead Oct 2005

Induced Matter: Curved N-Manifolds Encapsulated In Riemann-Flat N+1 Dimensional Space, Harry I. Ringermacher, Lawrence R. Mead

Faculty Publications

Liko and Wesson have recently introduced a new five-dimensional induced matter solution of the Einstein equations, a negative curvature Robertson-Walker space embedded in a Riemann-flat five-dimensional manifold. We show that this solution is a special case of a more general theorem prescribing the structure of certain N+1 dimensional Riemann-flat spaces which are all solutions of the Einstein equations. These solutions encapsulate N-dimensional curved manifolds. Such spaces are said to "induce matter" in the submanifolds by virtue of their geometric structure alone. We prove that the N-manifold can be any maximally symmetric space. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.


Relative Charge Transfer Cross Section From Rb(4d), M.H. Shah, H.A. Camp, M.L. Trachy, X. Fléchard, M.A. Gearba, H. Nguyen, R. Brédy, S.R. Lundeen, B.D. Depaola Aug 2005

Relative Charge Transfer Cross Section From Rb(4d), M.H. Shah, H.A. Camp, M.L. Trachy, X. Fléchard, M.A. Gearba, H. Nguyen, R. Brédy, S.R. Lundeen, B.D. Depaola

Faculty Publications

Relative charge transfer cross section measurements for the excited state Rb (4d) with 7 keV Na+ is reported. The specific channels reported as Na+ + Rb (4d5/2) → Na (nl) + Rb+, where the dominant transfer cross sections channels were nl = 3d and 4s. Using a combination of a magneto-optical trap and recoil ion momentum spectroscopy (MOTRIMS methodology), the cross sections were measured relative to the previously studied Na+ + Rb (5s, 5p) systems at the same collision energy.


Novel Cyanine-Amp Conjugates For Efficient 5' Rna Fluorescent Labeling By One-Step Transcription And Replacement Of [γ-32P] Atp In Rna Structural Investigation, Na Li, Changjun Yu, Faqing Huang Jan 2005

Novel Cyanine-Amp Conjugates For Efficient 5' Rna Fluorescent Labeling By One-Step Transcription And Replacement Of [γ-32P] Atp In Rna Structural Investigation, Na Li, Changjun Yu, Faqing Huang

Faculty Publications

Two novel fluorescent cyanine-AMP conjugates, F550/570 and F650/670, have been synthesized to serve as transcription initiators under the T7 φ2.5 promoter. Efficient fluorophore labeling of 5′ RNA is achieved in a single transcription step by including F550/570 and F650/670 in the transcription solution. The current work makes fluorescently labeled RNA readily available for broad applications in biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology and biomedicine. In particular, site-specifically fluorophore-labeled large RNAs prepared by the current method may be used to investigate RNA structure, folding and mechanism by various fluorescence techniques. In addition, F550/570 and F650/670 may replace [γ-32P]ATP to prepare …


Monsoon-Driven Biogeochemical Processes In The Arabian Sea, Jerry D. Wiggert, Raleigh Hood, Karl Banse, John Kindle Jan 2005

Monsoon-Driven Biogeochemical Processes In The Arabian Sea, Jerry D. Wiggert, Raleigh Hood, Karl Banse, John Kindle

Faculty Publications

Although it is nominally a tropical locale, the semiannual wind reversals associated with the Monsoon system of the Arabian Sea result annually in two distinct periods of elevated biological activity. While in both cases monsoonal forcing drives surface layer nutrient enrichment that supports increased rates of primary productivity, fundamentally different entrainment mechanisms are operating in summer (Southwest) and winter (Northeast) Monsoons. Moreover, the intervening intermonsoon periods, during which the region relaxes toward oligotrophic conditions more typical of tropical environments, provide a stark contrast to the dynamic biogeochemical activity of the monsoons. The resulting spatial and temporal variability is great and …
