Optical And Radio Observations Of The Afterglow From Grb 990510: Evidence For A Jet, F. A. Harrison, J. S. Bloom, D. A. Frail, R. Sari, S. R. Kulkarni, S. G. Djorgovski, T. Axelrod, J. Mould, B. P. Schmidt, M. H. Wieringa, R. M. Wark, R. Subrahmanyan, D. Mcconnell, P. J. Mccarthy, B. E. Schaefer, R. G. Mcmahon, R. O. Markze, E. Firth, P. Soffitta, L. Amati

Faculty Publications

We present multicolor optical and two-frequency radio observations of the bright BeppoSAX event GRB 990510. Neither the well-sampled optical decay nor the radio observations are consistent with simple spherical afterglow models. The achromatic steepening in the optical band and the early decay of the radio afterglow, which both occur at t ∼ 1 day, are evidence for hydrodynamical evolution of the source and can be most easily interpreted by models in which the gamma-ray burst ejecta are collimated in a jet. Employing a simple jet model to explain the observations, we derive a jet opening angle of θ0 = 0.08(n/l …

Valuation Of Sugarcane Associated With Eminent Domain Land Acquisition In Louisiana (Bulletin #867), Michael E. Salassi, Lonnie P. Champagne, G. Grant Giesler

LSU AgCenter Bulletins

The purpose of this bulletin is to present a method to value perennial crops associated with eminent domain acquisition of agricultural crop land. More specifically, it focuses on the estimation of the value of ‘short-lived’ perennial crops, crops that have a productive life over a relatively short, defined period of years, as opposed to permanent plantings, such as orchards or vineyards, which have a productive life over a considerably longer period.

A Class Of Non-Binary Matroids With Many Binary Minors, Allan D. Mills, James G. Oxley

Faculty Publications

It is a well-known result of Tutte, A homotopy theorem for matroids, I, II, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 88 (1958) 144-174. that U2,4 is the only non-binary matroid M such that, for every element e, both M\e and M/e are binary. Oxley generalized this result by characterizing the non-binary matroids M such that, for every element e of M, the deletion M\e or the contraction M/e is binary. We characterize those non-binary matroids M such that, for all elements e and f, at least two of M\e, f; M\e/f; M/e\f; and M/e, f are binary. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. …
