Determination Of A Dynamic Economic Threshold For The Southern Green Stink Bug, Nezara Viridula (L.), (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) On An Indeterminate Soybean Cultivar, Peter Scott Lingren

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The effects of southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.), feeding on an indeterminate maturity group IV soybean cultivar, 'Ring Around 452', during different soybean reproductive growth stages were evaluated during 1993 and 1994. In 1993, southern green stink bug population levels of o, o. 5, 1, 3, 6, and 10 times the economic threshold in Louisiana (1 stink bug per 0.3 row m) were caged on soybeans for 7 d during the soybean growth stages of R3, R4, RS, R5.5, R6 and R7. In 1994, population levels of o, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 3 times the economic threshold were …

Bead Colors As Social Relations Markers At Mission Soledad, California, Lori Lee Buck

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This thesis is an interpretive analysis focusing on the use of beads as a tool for determining social relations at Mission Soledad, California. The main indicator of social relations used in this thesis is bead distribution. Two attributes were used to classify the beads, color and type.

To understand the importance of the bead distribution, the ideologies of the three native cultures that were recruited to the mission and the Spanish missionaries who founded the mission were studied. From this information, color symbolism and sources were examined to gain knowledge of important colors. This was done with the hopes that …

We report the first observation of charmed mesons with the ZEUS detector at HERA using the decay channel D*+ → (D0 → K-π+)π+ (+c.c.). Clear signals in the mass difference ΔM=M(D*)-M(D0) as well as in the M(Kπ) distribution at the D0 mass are found. The ep cross section for inclusive D*± production with Q2 < 4 GeV2 in the γp centre-of-mass energy range 115 < W < 275 GeV has been determined to be (32±7-7+4) nb in the kinematic region pt(D*) ≥ 1.7 GeV, |η(D*)| < 1.5. Extrapolating outside this region, assuming a mass of the charm quark of 1.5 GeV, we estimate the ep charm cross section to be σ(ep → ccX) = (0.45 ± 0.11-0.22+0.37) μb at s=296 GeV and 〈W〉 = 198 GeV. The average γp charm cross section σ(γp → ccX) is found to be (6.3 ± 2.2-3.0+6.3) μb at 〈W〉 = 163 GeV and (16.9 ± 5.2-8.5+13.9) μb at 〈W〉 = 243 GeV. The increase of the total charm photoproduction cross section by one order of magnitude with respect to low energy data experiments is well described by QCD NLO calculations using singular gluon distributions in the proton. © 1995.

Dijet Cross Sections In Photoproduction At Hera, M. Derrick, D. Krakauer, S. Magill, D. Mikunas, B. Musgrave, J. Repond, R. Stanek, R. L. Talaga, H. Zhang, R. Ayad, G. Bari, M. Basile, L.

Dijet production by almost real photons has been studied at HERA with the ZEUS detector. Jets have been identified using the cone algorithm. A cut on xγOBS, the fraction of the photon energy participating in the production of the two jets of highest transverse energy, is used to define cross sections sensitive to the parton distributions in the proton and in the photon. The dependence of the dijet cross sections on pseudorapidity has been measured for xγOBS ≥ 0.75 and xγOBS < 0.75. The former is sensitive to the gluon momentum density in the proton. The latter is sensitive to the ginon in the photon. The cross sections are corrected for detector acceptance and compared to leading order QCD calculations. © 1995.

Generalized Pseudo-Su(3) Model And Pairing, D. Troltenier, C. Bahri, J. P. Draayer

Faculty Publications

The pseudo-SU(3) model is extended to explicitly include the spin and proton-neutron degrees of freedom. A general formalism for evaluating matrix elements of one-body and two-body tensor operators within this framework is presented. The pairing interaction, which couples different irreducible representations of SU(3), is expressed in terms of pseudo-space tensors and a general result is given for calculating its matrix elements. The importance of pairing correlations in pseudo-SU(3) model calculations is demonstrated by examining the dependence of wavefunctions, low-energy collective excitation spectra, and moments of inertia on the strength of the pairing interaction. © 1995.

Events with a large rapidity gap and total transverse energy greater than 5 GeV have been observed in quasi-real photoproduction at HERA with the ZEUS detector. The distribution of these events as a function of the γp centre of mass energy is consistent with diffractive scattering. For total transverse energies above 12 GeV, the hadronic final states show predominantly a two-jet structure with each jet having a transverse energy greater than 4 GeV. For the two-jet events, little energy flow is found outside the jets. This observation is consistent with the hard scattering of a quasi-real photon with a colourless …

Charged particle production has been measured in Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) events using the ZEUS detector over a large range of Q2 from 10 to 1280 GeV2. The evolution with Q of the charged multiplicity and scaled momentum has been investigated in the current fragmentation region of the Breit frame. The data are used to study QCD coherence effects in DIS and are compared with corresponding e+e- data in order to test the universality of quark fragmentation. © 1995 Springer-Verlag.

This paper presents measurements of K0 and Λ production in neutral current, deep inelastic scattering of 26.7 GeV electrons and 820 GeV protons in the kinematic range 100.04. Average multiplicities for K0 and Λ production are determined for transverse momenta pT>0.5 GeV and pseudorapidities |η|<1.3. The multiplicities favour a stronger strange to light quark suppression in the fragmentation chain than found in e+e- experiments. The production properties of K0' s in events with and without a large rapidity gap with respect to the proton direction are compared. The ratio of neutral K0' s to charged particles per event in the measured kinematic range is, within the present statistics, the same in both samples. © 1995 Springer-Verlag.

The gluon momentum density xg(x, Q2) of the proton was extracted at Q2 = 20 GeV2 for small values of x between 4 × 10-4 and 10-2 from the scaling violations of the proton structure function F2 measured recently by ZEUS in deep inelastic neutral current ep scattering at HERA. The extraction was performed in two ways. Firstly, using a global NLO fit to the ZEUS data on F2 at low x constrained by measurementsfrom NMC at larger x; and secondly using published approximate methods for the solution of the GLAP QCD evolution equations. Consistent results are obtained. A substantial …

Finite Dimensional Hida Distributions, Izumi Kubo, Hui Hsiung Kuo

Faculty Publications

Let E be a real Hilbert space and A a densely defined linear operator on E satisfying certain conditions. Let E ⊂ E ⊂ E* be the Gel′fand triple arising from E and A. Let μ denote the standard Gaussian measure on E* and let (L2) = L2(μ). The Wiener-Itô decomposition theorem for (L2) and the second quantization operator Γ(A)* can be used to introduce a Gel′fand triple (E) ⊂ (L2) ⊂ (E)*. The elements in (E)* and (E) are called Hida distributions and test functions, respectively. A Hida distribution φ is defined to be finite dimensional if there exists …

Alternative Equations Of Motion For The Radiating Electron, G. W. Ford, R. F. O'Connell

Faculty Publications

We have previously written down a simple second-order equation for the radiating electron and pointed out that its solutions are well behaved. A key feature of this equation is the presence of a term involving the time derivative of the external field f(t). Here, we show that a completely equivalent, but less elegant, equation may be written down which contains no derivatives of f(t) but, instead, an infinite number of derivatives of the coordinate. However, it has the merit of displaying explicitly how our result differs from that of Abraham-Lorentz. © 1995 Springer-Verlag.
