Laurasian Migration Explains Gondwanan Disjunctions: Evidence From Malpighiaceae, Charles C. Davis, Charles D. Bell, Sarah Mathews, Michael J. Donoghue

Faculty Publications

Explanations for biogeographic disjunctions involving South America and Africa typically invoke vicariance of western Gondwanan biotas or long distance dispersal. These hypotheses are problematical because many groups originated and diversified well after the last known connection between Africa and South America (≈105 million years ago), and it is unlikely that "sweepstakes" dispersal accounts for many of these disjunctions. Phylogenetic analyses of the angiosperm clade Malpighiaceae, combined with fossil evidence and molecular divergence-time estimates, suggest an alternative hypothesis to account for such distributions. We propose that Malpighiaceae originated in northern South America, and that members of several clades repeatedly migrated into …

Time-Frequency Characterization Of Femtosecond Extreme Ultraviolet Pulses, J. Norin, J. Mauritsson, A. Johansson, M. K. Raarup, S. Buil, A. Persson, O. Dühr, M. B. Gaarde, K. J. Schafer, K. J. Schafer, U. Keller, U. Keller, C. G. Wahlström, A. L'Huillier

A measurement of chirp and pulse duration of fifth harmonic of a frequency-doubled Ti:sapphire laser was presented. The photoelectron signal due to cross correlation of harmonics generated by 400 nm blue light and an 800 nm infrared probe pulse, was measured using energy resolved cross-correlation method. Results demonstrated that the technique could be used to characterize the time-frequency behavior of much higher-order harmonics.

Note On The Derivative Of The Hyperbolic Cotangent, G. W. Ford, R. F. O'Connell

Faculty Publications

In a letter to Nature (Ford G W and O'Connell R F 1996 Nature 380 113) we presented a formula for the derivative of the hyperbolic cotangent that differs from the standard one in the literature by an additional term proportional to the Dirac delta function. Since our letter was necessarily brief, shortly after its appearance we prepared a more extensive unpublished note giving a detailed explanation of our argument. Since this note has been referenced in a recent article (Estrada R and Fulling S A 2002 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 35 3079) we think it appropriate that it …

Laplace Transform Of Spherical Bessel Functions, A. Ludu, R. F. O'Connell

Faculty Publications

We provide a simple analytic formula in terms of elementary functions for the Laplace transform j̃l(p) of the spherical Bessel function than that appearing in the literature, and we show that any such integral transform is a polynomial of order l in the variable p with constant coefficients for the first l - 1 powers, and with an inverse tangent function of argument 1/p as the coefficient of the power l. We apply this formula for the Laplace transform of the memory function related to the Langevin equation in a one-dimensional Debye model.

Design Of Functionally Graded Composite Structures In The Presence Of Stress Constraints, Robert Lipton

Faculty Publications

In this work new homogenization results are used to introduce a methodology for the design of structural components made from composite materials in the presence of stress constraints. A numerical method is developed for finding functionally graded materials that provide the maximum torsional rigidity while keeping the mean square stress inside the composite structure below a prescribed level. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Unavoidable Minors Of Graphs Of Large Type, John Dittmann, Bogdan Oporowski

Faculty Publications

In this paper, we study one measure of complexity of a graph, namely its type. The type of a graph G is defined to be the minimum number n such that there is a sequence of graphs G = G0, G1,...,Gn, where Gi is obtained by contracting one edge in or deleting one edge from each block of G/_i, and where G is edgeless. We show that a 3-connected graph has large type if and only if it has a minor isomorphic to a large fan. Furthermore, we show that if a graph has large type, then it has a …
