Decoherence In A Driven Three-Level System, A. R.P. Rau, Weichang Zhao
Decoherence In A Driven Three-Level System, A. R.P. Rau, Weichang Zhao
Faculty Publications
Dissipation and decoherence, and the evolution from pure to mixed states in quantum physics, are handled through master equations for the density matrix. Master equations such as the Lindblad equation preserve the trace of this matrix. Viewing them as first-order time-dependent operator equations for the elements of the density matrix, a unitary integration procedure can be adapted to solve for these elements. A simple model for decoherence preserves the Hermiticity of the density matrix. A single, classical Riccati equation is the only one requiring numerical handling to obtain a full solution of the quantum evolution. The procedure is general, valid …
Detectability Of Gravitational Waves From Sn 1987a, Giovanni Santostasi, Warren Johnson, Juhan Frank
Detectability Of Gravitational Waves From Sn 1987a, Giovanni Santostasi, Warren Johnson, Juhan Frank
Faculty Publications
We discuss the potential for the detection of gravitational waves from a rapidly spinning neutron star produced by supernova (SN) 1987A, taking the parameters claimed by Middleditch et al. at face value. Assuming that the dominant mechanism for spin-down is gravitational waves emitted by a freely precessing neutron star, it is possible to constrain the wobble angle, the effective moment of inertia of the precessing crust, and the crust cracking stress limit. Our analysis suggests that if the interpretation of the Middleditch data is correct, the compact remnant of SN 1987A may well provide a predictable source of gravitational waves …
Galaxy Formation In Triaxial Halos: Black Hole-Bulge-Dark Halo Correlation, Amr A. El-Zant, Isaac Shlosman, Mitchell C. Begelman, Juhan Frank
Galaxy Formation In Triaxial Halos: Black Hole-Bulge-Dark Halo Correlation, Amr A. El-Zant, Isaac Shlosman, Mitchell C. Begelman, Juhan Frank
Faculty Publications
The masses of supermassive black holes (SBHs) show correlations with bulge properties in disk and elliptical galaxies. We study the formation of galactic structure within flat-core, mildly triaxial halos and show that these correlations can be understood within the framework of a baryonic component modifying the orbital structure in the underlying potential. In particular, we find that terminal properties of bulges and their central SBHs are constrained by the destruction of box orbits in the harmonic cores of dark halos and the emergence of progressively less eccentric loop orbits there. SBH masses, M •, should exhibit a tighter correlation with …
Feedforward Reduction Of The Microseism Disturbance In A Long-Base-Line Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Detector, J. A. Giaime, E. J. Daw, M. Weitz, R. Adhikari, P. Fritschel, R. Abbott, R. Bork, J. Heefner

Faculty Publications
Feedforward reduction of microseism disturbance in a long-based interometric gravitational-wave detector was discussed. Laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory (LIGO) which has a 4 km base-line detectors was used. Results showed that the root mean-squared displacement near 0.15 Hz can be reduced by 10 dB.
Effect Of An External Field On Decoherence, R. F. O’Connell, Jian Zuo
Effect Of An External Field On Decoherence, R. F. O’Connell, Jian Zuo
Faculty Publications
“Decoherence of quantum superpositions through coupling to engineered reservoirs” is the topic of a recent paper by Myatt et al. [Nature 403, 269 (2000)] which has attracted much interest because of its relevance to current research in fundamental quantum theory, quantum computation, teleportation, entanglement, and the quantum-classical interface. However, the preponderance of theoretical work on decoherence does not consider the effect of an external field. Here, we present an analysis of such an effect in the case of the random [Formula Presented]-correlated force discussed by Myatt et al. © 2003 The American Physical Society.
Canonical Quantization Of General Relativity In Discrete Space-Times, Rodolfo Gambini, Jorge Pullin
Canonical Quantization Of General Relativity In Discrete Space-Times, Rodolfo Gambini, Jorge Pullin
Faculty Publications
It has long been recognized that lattice gauge theory formulations, when applied to general relativity, conflict with the invariance of the theory under diffeomorphisms. We analyze discrete lattice general relativity and develop a canonical formalism that allows one to treat constrained theories in Lorentzian signature space-times. The presence of the lattice introduces a “dynamical gauge” fixing that makes the quantization of the theories conceptually clear, albeit computationally involved. The problem of a consistent algebra of constraints is automatically solved in our approach. The approach works successfully in other field theories as well, including topological theories. A simple cosmological application exhibits …

Diel Vertical Migration Of Cladocerans And Copepods In The Atchafalaya River Basin Floodplain, William E. Kelso, D. Allen Rutherford, Norman L. Davidson
Diel Vertical Migration Of Cladocerans And Copepods In The Atchafalaya River Basin Floodplain, William E. Kelso, D. Allen Rutherford, Norman L. Davidson
Faculty Publications
We used bal and nocturnal zooplankton collections at 30 sites in the Atchafalaya River Basin (ARB) floodplain (Louisiana) to assess inter-habitat differences in diel vertical movements of numerically abundant cladocerans and copepods during the flood pulse. The magnitude of diel movement at each site was quantified with an index of vertical migration (VM)=log (nocturnal abundance+1)—log (diurnal abundance+1), and sites were grouped into lake (n=12), channel (n=9), and swamp (n=9) habitats based on principal components analysis of physicochemical characteristics. The cladocerans Diaphanosoma birgei and Moina micrura and the copepods Mesocyclops edax, Eurytemora affinis, and Acanthocyclops vernalis all exhibited siecantly greater VM …
Diet And Preparation For Spring Migration In Captive Hermit Thrushes (Catharus Guttatus), Jennifer A. Long, Philip C. Stouffer
Diet And Preparation For Spring Migration In Captive Hermit Thrushes (Catharus Guttatus), Jennifer A. Long, Philip C. Stouffer
Faculty Publications
Seasonal changes in food choice by migratory birds often reflect changes in relative food abundance and increased energetic demand. Hermit Thrushes (Catharus guttatus) in southeastern Louisiana are highly frugivorous during winter but forage exclusively on arthropods just prior to spring migration. We hypothesized that this switch to an exclusively arthropod diet would lead to an increase in fat reserves compared to a frugivorous diet, and that fat birds would initiate migration sooner and display more migratory activity than lean birds. We tested these hypotheses on captive Hermit Thrushes maintained on either an arthropod only diet or a mixed fruit and …
A Regional Comparison Of Us Homeowner Perceptions About Treated Wood, Ben N. Donkor, Sanna Kallioranta, Richard P. Vlosky, Todd F. Shupe
A Regional Comparison Of Us Homeowner Perceptions About Treated Wood, Ben N. Donkor, Sanna Kallioranta, Richard P. Vlosky, Todd F. Shupe
Faculty Publications
This study examines United States homeowner perceptions about treated wood products. Regional differences were measured across a number of themes including overall perceptions about treated wood, treated wood relative to alternative building materials, and safety issues. Respondents in the South had the most positive perception of treated wood. The most significant health concerns were related to arsenic and chromium in preservative treatments with no differences across regions. Overall, there is not a strong aversion to using treated wood products per se although the perception of health risks exists.

Developing A User-Process Model For Designing Menu-Based Interfaces: An Exploratory Study, Boryung Ju, Myke Gluck
Faculty Publications
The purpose of this study was to organize menu items based on a user-process model and implement a new version of current software for enhancing usability of interfaces. Dervin & Nilan's time-line method is used to develop a user-process model for user interface design. We developed a user process model drawn from actual users' understanding of their goals and strategies to solve their information needs by using Dervin's Sense-Making Theory with sense-making interviews. Six experienced subjects were recruited for the sense-making interviews. Each subject went through a learning/exploration session, and was asked to recall and describe specific information needs throughout …
Effect Of Nacl On Growth, Morphology, And Camptothecin Accumulation In Camptotheca Acuminata Seedlings, Zhanhai Li, Zhijun Liu
Effect Of Nacl On Growth, Morphology, And Camptothecin Accumulation In Camptotheca Acuminata Seedlings, Zhanhai Li, Zhijun Liu
Faculty Publications
NaCl salt is shown to increase alkaloid accumulation in some plant species, but creates an extensive problem in plant cultivation. The effect of NaCl on Camptotheca acuminata Decaisne growth, morphology, and camptothecin accumulation (concentration and yield) was studied in a hydroponic culture system. High NaCl levels (above 75 mM) in growth media significantly reduced plant height, weight, leaf number, and leaf length but increased leaf weight. In contrast, low NaCl levels (below 75 mM) only moderately reduced growth and affected morphology. Our results suggest a concentration of 75 mM is the threshold for NaCl to exert a detrimental effect on …
Downstream Hydraulic Geometry Relations: 2. Calibration And Testing, Vijay P. Singh, Chih Ted Yang, Zhi Qiang Deng
Downstream Hydraulic Geometry Relations: 2. Calibration And Testing, Vijay P. Singh, Chih Ted Yang, Zhi Qiang Deng
Faculty Publications
Using 456 data sets under bank-full conditions obtained from various sources, the geometric relations, derived in part 1 [Singh et al., 2003], are calibrated and verified using the split sampling approach. The calibration of parameters shows that the change in stream power is not shared equally among hydraulic variables and that the unevenness depends on the boundary conditions to be satisfied by the channel under consideration. The agreement between the observed values of the hydraulic variables and those predicted by the derived relations is close for the verification data set and lends credence to the hypotheses employed in this study.
Influence Of Abiotic Factors On Red Imported Fire Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Mound Population Ratings In Louisiana, A. M. Pranschke, L. M. Hooper-Bùi
Influence Of Abiotic Factors On Red Imported Fire Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Mound Population Ratings In Louisiana, A. M. Pranschke, L. M. Hooper-Bùi
Faculty Publications
Colony size and reproductive status of Solenopsis invicta (Buren), red imported fire ants, is measured by a rating system developed by Harlan et al. (1981). Because this rating system is commonly used to evaluate chemical controls, especially insect growth regulators, and biological controls such as Thelohania spp., we evaluated the environmental conditions that would affect mound ratings in Louisiana. Increases in relative humidity and mound height were associated with population rating increases. Brood presence in the above ground portion of the nest (mound) was strongly associated with mound temperature. Brood was only found in mounds that had soil temperatures between …
