Magnetic Field Decay In Single Radio Pulsars: A Statistical Study, Soma Mukherjee, Ajit Kembhavi

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

We report on an extensive statistical study of single radio pulsar properties, which we undertook to estimate the decay timescale of pulsar magnetic fields. We synthesized a population of pulsars using assumed theoretical distributions of age, initial magnetic field, period of rotation, position, luminosity, and dispersion measure, taking into account the new distance model for pulsars as well as new velocity estimates. We also took into account the selection effects that characterize pulsar observations. We compared the simulated population with the observed single pulsar population using one- and two-dimensional Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests to obtain a lower bound of ∼160 Myr on …

Large-Amplitude Solitary Waves In Finite Temperature Dusty Plasma, R. Roychoudhury, S. Mukherjee

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

Large-amplitude solitary waves in dusty plasma are investigated, taking into account the dusty particle temperature. It is shown that finite dusty temperature restricts the region for the existence of solitary waves.

The Political Resources Model Of Representation: A Local Approach, Joe Manuel Cavazos

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

The purpose of the study was to determine the applicability of the Political Resources Model of Representation to the Rio Grande Valley and to ascertain if political resources (poverty levels, educational attainment, and Hispanic representation) provide an adequate explanation of educational outcomes (ACT, TEAMS, and dropout rates).

The political Resources Model of Representation, used by Meier and Stewart, served as a theoretical framework for the study. Formerly, the model had been used at a national level and a state level. Representation variables were used to predict the applicability of the model to a region.

Political Resources variables were used to …

A Study Of Factors On The Performance Of The Texas Academic Skills Program Test, Billy B. Watkins

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

At least thirty percent of students who enter Texas public higher education each year have basic skills deficiencies and cannot perform effectively in college. The TASP Test was developed to identify these students. Moreover, this test must be passed in order to obtain a degree from a Texas public institution.

A survey of 150 entering freshmen from the University of Texas-Pan American was examined to identify variables that influence student performance on the TASP Test.

Chi-square tests uncovered academic, socioeconomic, and institutional bivariate relationships with TASP performance. Multiple regression analysis indicated that academic variables primarily predicted TASP performance.

Macrophage-Mediated 15-Lipoxygenase Expression Protects Against Atherosclerosis Development, Jianhe Shen, Ed Herderick, J. Fredrick Cornhill, Eva Zsigmond, Han Seob Kim, Hartmut Kühn, Natalia V. Guevara, Lawrence Chan

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

Oxidative modification of LDL increases its atherogenicity, and 15- lipoxygenase (15-LO) has been implicated in the process. To address this issue, we generated transgenic rabbits that expressed 15-LO in a macrophage- specific manner and studied their susceptibility to atherosclerosis development when they were fed a high-fat, high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet (Teklad 0533 rabbit diet 7009 with 10% corn oil and 0.25% cholesterol) for 13.5 wk. Transgenic and nontransgenic rabbits developed similar degrees of hypercholesterolemia and had similar levels of triglyceride, VLDL, LDL, and HDL. Quantitative morphometric analysis of the aortic atherosclerosis indicated that the transgenic animals (n = 19) had significantly …

Effective Characteristic Polynomials And Two-Point Pade Approximants As Summation Techniques For The Strongly Divergent Perturbation Expansions Of The Ground State Energies Of Anharmonic Oscillators, Jiri Cizek, Ernst Joachim Weniger, Paul Bracken, Vladimir Spirko

School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications

Pade approximants are able to sum effectively the Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation series for the ground state energy of the quartic anharmonic oscillator, as well as the corresponding renormalized perturbation expansion [E.J. Weniger, J. Cizek, and F. Vinette, J. Math. Phys. 34, 571 (1993)]. In the sextic case, Pade approximants are still able to sum these perturbation series, but convergence is so slow that they are computationally useless. In the octic case, Pade approximants are not powerful enough and fail. On the other hand, the inclusion of only a few additional data from the strong coupling domain [E.J. Weniger, Ann. Phys. (N.Y.) …

A Survey For Millisecond Pulsars, P. S. Ray, S. E. Thorsett, F. A. Jenet, M. H. Van Kerkwuk, S. R. Kulkarni, T. A. Prince, J. S. Sandhu, D. J. Nice

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

We have searched 960 square degrees of sky for radio pulsars, using the 305 m telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The 430 MHz survey reached a limiting sensitivity for slow pulsars of 0.7 mJy using a dual-polarization, 32 channel filter bank over 8 MHz of bandwidth. We have detected one new millisecond pulsar, 11 new slow pulsars, one previously known millisecond pulsar, and eight previously known slow pulsars. The new millisecond pulsar, PSR J2033 + 17, with a period of 5.9 ms, has been found to be in a binary system. The Keplerian circular orbital solution has a period of …
