Gauss-Manin Connections For Arrangements, Iii Formal Connections, Daniel C. Cohen, Peter Orlik
Gauss-Manin Connections For Arrangements, Iii Formal Connections, Daniel C. Cohen, Peter Orlik
Faculty Publications
We study the Gauss-Manin connection for the moduli space of an arrangement of complex hyperplanes in the cohomology of a complex rank one local system. We define formal Gauss-Manin connection matrices in the Aomoto complex and prove that, for all arrangements and all local systems, these formal connection matrices specialize to Gauss-Manin connection matrices. © 2004 American Mathematical Society.
Bioluminescence Intensity Modeling And Sampling Strategy Optimization, I. Shulman, D.J. Mcgillicuddy Jr., M.A. Moline, S.H.D. Haddock, J.C. Kindle, D. Nechaev
Bioluminescence Intensity Modeling And Sampling Strategy Optimization, I. Shulman, D.J. Mcgillicuddy Jr., M.A. Moline, S.H.D. Haddock, J.C. Kindle, D. Nechaev
Faculty Publications
The focus of this paper is on the development of methodology for short-term (1-3 days) oceanic bioluminescence (BL) predictions and the optimization of spatial and temporal bioluminescence sampling strategies. The approach is based on predictions of bioluminescence with an advection-diffusion-reaction (tracer) model with velocities and diffusivities from a circulation model. In previous research, it was shown that short-term changes in some of the salient features in coastal bioluminescence can be explained and predicted by using this approach. At the same time, it was demonstrated that optimization of bioluminescence sampling prior to the forecast is critical for successful short-term BL predictions …
A Comparison Of Generalizability For Anomaly Detection, Gilbert L. Peterson, Robert F. Mills, Brent T. Mcbride, Wesley T. Allred
A Comparison Of Generalizability For Anomaly Detection, Gilbert L. Peterson, Robert F. Mills, Brent T. Mcbride, Wesley T. Allred
Faculty Publications
In security-related areas there is concern over the novel “zeroday” attack that penetrates system defenses and wreaks havoc. The best methods for countering these threats are recognizing “non-self” as in an Artificial Immune System or recognizing “self” through clustering. For either case, the concern remains that something that looks similar to self could be missed. Given this situation one could logically assume that a tighter fit to self rather than generalizability is important for false positive reduction in this type of learning problem. This article shows that a tight fit, although important, does not supersede having some model generality. This …
Relative Charge Transfer Cross Section From Rb(4d), M.H. Shah, H.A. Camp, M.L. Trachy, X. Fléchard, M.A. Gearba, H. Nguyen, R. Brédy, S.R. Lundeen, B.D. Depaola
Relative Charge Transfer Cross Section From Rb(4d), M.H. Shah, H.A. Camp, M.L. Trachy, X. Fléchard, M.A. Gearba, H. Nguyen, R. Brédy, S.R. Lundeen, B.D. Depaola
Faculty Publications
Relative charge transfer cross section measurements for the excited state Rb (4d) with 7 keV Na+ is reported. The specific channels reported as Na+ + Rb (4d5/2) → Na (nl) + Rb+, where the dominant transfer cross sections channels were nl = 3d and 4s. Using a combination of a magneto-optical trap and recoil ion momentum spectroscopy (MOTRIMS methodology), the cross sections were measured relative to the previously studied Na+ + Rb (5s, 5p) systems at the same collision energy.
Edge Inference For Image Interpolation, Bryan S. Morse, Neil Toronto, Dan A. Ventura
Edge Inference For Image Interpolation, Bryan S. Morse, Neil Toronto, Dan A. Ventura
Faculty Publications
Image interpolation algorithms try to fit a function to a matrix of samples in a "natural-looking" way. This paper presents edge inference, an algorithm that does this by mixing neural network regression with standard image interpolation techniques. Results on gray level images are presented, and it is demonstrated that edge inference is capable of producing sharp, natural-looking results. A technique for reintroducing noise is given, and it is shown that, with noise added using a bicubic interpolant, edge inference can be regarded as a generalization of bicubic interpolation. Extension into RGB color space and additional applications of the algorithm are …
A Modified Poisson–Boltzmann Analysis Of The Capacitance Behavior Of The Electric Double Layer At Low Temperatures, Douglas Henderson, L. B. Bhuiyan, C. W. Outhwaite
A Modified Poisson–Boltzmann Analysis Of The Capacitance Behavior Of The Electric Double Layer At Low Temperatures, Douglas Henderson, L. B. Bhuiyan, C. W. Outhwaite
Faculty Publications
The modified Poisson–Boltzmann theory is used to analyze the anomalous behavior of the electric double layer capacitance for small surface charge at low temperatures and densities. Good agreement is found with simulation and recent density-functional theory results. Negative adsorption is also found in line with theory and simulation. An unsatisfactory feature is the relatively poor structure in this region due to the inherent approximations in the theory. This feature is unimportant in relation to the capacitance results but has implications when calculating adsorption properties.
Hard-Sphere Radial Distribution Function Again, Andrij Trokhymchuk, Douglas Henderson, Ivo Nezbeda, Jan Jirsak
Hard-Sphere Radial Distribution Function Again, Andrij Trokhymchuk, Douglas Henderson, Ivo Nezbeda, Jan Jirsak
Faculty Publications
A theoretically based closed-form analytical equation for the radial distribution function, g(r), of a fluid of hard spheres is presented and used to obtain an accurate analytic representation. The method makes use of an analytic expression for the short- and long-range behaviors of g(r), both obtained from the Percus-Yevick equation, in combination with the thermodynamic consistency constraint. Physical arguments then leave only three parameters in the equation of g(r) that are to be solved numerically, whereas all remaining ones are taken from the analytical solution of the Percus-Yevick equation.
Enhancement Of Calcium-Dependent Afterpotentials In Oxytocin Neurons Of The Rat Supraoptic Nucleus During Lactation, Ryoichi Teruyama, William E. Armstrong
Enhancement Of Calcium-Dependent Afterpotentials In Oxytocin Neurons Of The Rat Supraoptic Nucleus During Lactation, Ryoichi Teruyama, William E. Armstrong
Faculty Publications
The firing pattern of oxytocin (OT) hormone synthesizing neurons changes dramatically immediately before each milk ejection, when a brief burst of action potentials is discharged. OT neurons possess intrinsic currents that would modulate this burst. Our previous studies showed the amplitude of the Ca2+-dependent afterhyperpolarization (AHP) following spike trains is significantly larger during lactation. In the present study we sought to determine which component of the AHP is enhanced, and whether the enhancement could be related to changes in whole-cell Ca2+ current or the Ca2+ transient in identified OT or vasopressin (VP) neurons during lactation. We confirmed, with whole-cell current-clamp …
Consistent Discretizations: The Gowdy Spacetimes, Rodolfo Gambini, Marcelo Ponce, Jorge Pullin
Consistent Discretizations: The Gowdy Spacetimes, Rodolfo Gambini, Marcelo Ponce, Jorge Pullin
Faculty Publications
We apply the consistent discretization scheme to general relativity particularized to the Gowdy spacetimes. This is the first time the framework has been applied in detail in a nonlinear generally covariant gravitational situation with local degrees of freedom. We show that the scheme can be correctly used to numerically evolve the spacetimes. We show that the resulting numerical schemes are convergent and preserve approximately the constraints as expected. Given the numerical complexity of the method, further work will be needed to make it competitive with the usual free evolution methods currently in use in numerical relativity. © 2005 The American …

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(C2H8N2)3][Bi2I9], crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmc21. The asymmetric unit contains half of a [Co(en)3]3+ cation (en is ethylenediamine) and half of a [Bi2I9]3- anion. Both species are located on mirror planes, requiring the [Co(en)3]3+ cation to be present as a statistically disordered mixture of both enantiomeric forms. Crystals were grown solvothermally from an ethanol-water solvent mixture using rac-[Co(en)3]I3 and bismuth triiodide …

Exclusive electroproduction of φ mesons has been studied in e±p collisions at √s = 318 GeV with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 65.1 pb-1. The γ* p cross section is presented in the kinematic range 2 GeV2 < Q2 < 70 GeV2, 35 GeV < W < 145 GeV and t < 0.6 GeV2. The cross sections as functions of Q2, W, t and helicity angle θh are compared to cross sections for other vector mesons. The ratios R of the cross sections for longitudinally and transversely polarized virtual photons are presented as functions of Q2 and W. The data are also compared to predictions from theoretical models. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Improved Network Analysis Of Coupled Antenna Diversity Performance, Michael A. Jensen, Matthew L. Morris
Improved Network Analysis Of Coupled Antenna Diversity Performance, Michael A. Jensen, Matthew L. Morris
Faculty Publications
This paper presents a new framework for the analysis of mutually coupled diversity antennas based on network theory. The network model incorporates the matching network between the antennas and front-end amplifiers and uses a realistic model for the amplifier noise. The resulting analysis includes the impact of the coupled-antenna radiation patterns and impedance characteristics in determining the branch signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Application of the formulation to coupled dipole antennas characterized using full-wave electromagnetic analysis illustrates that a matching network providing a minimum amplifier noise figure achieves significantly better diversity performance than one providing maximum power transfer.

Validating Human–Robot Interaction Schemes In Multitasking Environments, Jacob W. Crandall, Michael A. Goodrich, Curtis W. Nielsen, Dan R. Olsen Jr.
Faculty Publications
The ability of robots to autonomously perform tasks is increasing. More autonomy in robots means that the human managing the robot may have available free time. It is desirable to use this free time productively, and a current trend is to use this available free time to manage multiple robots. We present the notion of neglect tolerance as a means for determining how robot autonomy and interface design determine how free time can be used to support multitasking, in general, and multirobot teams, in particular. We use neglect tolerance to 1) identify the maximum number of robots that can be …
Comparing High-Order Boolean Features, Adam Drake, Dan A. Ventura
Comparing High-Order Boolean Features, Adam Drake, Dan A. Ventura
Faculty Publications
Many learning algorithms attempt, either explicitly or implicitly, to discover useful high-order features. When considering all possible functions that could be encountered, no particular type of high-order feature should be more useful than any other. However, this paper presents arguments and empirical results that suggest that for the learning problems typically encountered in practice, some high-order features may be more useful than others.
Effectively Using Recurrently-Connected Spiking Neural Networks, Eric Goodman, Dan A. Ventura
Effectively Using Recurrently-Connected Spiking Neural Networks, Eric Goodman, Dan A. Ventura
Faculty Publications
Recurrently-connected spiking neural networks are difficult to use and understand because of the complex nonlinear dynamics of the system. Through empirical studies of spiking networks, we deduce several principles which are critical to success. Network parameters such as synaptic time delays and time constants and the connection probabilities can be adjusted to have a significant impact on accuracy. We show how to adjust these parameters to fit the type of problem.
Time Invariance And Liquid State Machines, Eric Goodman, Dan A. Ventura
Time Invariance And Liquid State Machines, Eric Goodman, Dan A. Ventura
Faculty Publications
Time invariant recognition of spatiotemporal patterns is a common task of signal processing. Liquid state machines (LSMs) are a paradigm which robustly handle this type of classification. Using an artificial dataset with target pattern lengths ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 seconds, we train an LSM to find the start of the pattern with a mean absolute error of 0.18 seconds. Also, LSMs can be trained to identify spoken digits, 1-9, with an accuracy of 97.6%, even with scaling by factors ranging from 0.5 to 1.5.

The amount of online information written in different natural languages and the number of non-English speaking Internet users have been increasing tremendously during the past decade. In order to provide high-performance access of multilingual information on the Internet, we have developed a data analysis and querying system (DatAQs) that (i) analyzes, identifies, and categorizes languages used in HTML documents, (ii) extracts information from HTML documents of interest written in different languages, (iii) allows the user to submit queries for retrieving extracted information in the same natural language provided by the query engine of DatAQs using a menu-driven user interface, and …

Detecting Similar Html Documents Using A Fuzzy Set Information Retrieval Approach, Yiu-Kai D. Ng, Rajiv Yerra
Faculty Publications
Web documents that are either partially or completely duplicated in content are easily found on the Internet these days. Not only do these documents create redundant information on the Web, which take longer to filter unique information and cause additional storage space, but also they degrade the efficiency of Web information retrieval. In this paper, we present a new approach for detecting similar Web documents, especially HTML documents. Our detection approach determines the odd ratio of any two documents, which makes use of the degrees of resemblance of the documents, and graphically displays the locations of similar (not necessarily the …

Mathematical Framework For Simulation Of Quantum Fields In Complex Interferometers Using The Two-Photon Formalism, Thomas Corbitt, Yanbei Chen, Nergis Mavalvala
Faculty Publications
We present a mathematical framework for simulation of optical fields in complex gravitational-wave interferometers. The simulation framework uses the two-photon formalism for optical fields and includes radiation pressure effects, an important addition required for simulating signal and noise fields in next-generation interferometers with high circulating power. We present a comparison of results from the simulation with analytical calculation and show that accurate agreement is achieved. © 2005 The American Physical Society.

On Atkin-Swinnerton-Dyer Congruence Relations, Wen Ching Winnie Li, Ling Long, Zifeng Yang
Faculty Publications
In this paper, we exhibit a noncongruence subgroup Γ whose space of weight 3 cusp forms S3(Γ) admits a basis satisfying the Atkin-Swinnerton-Dyer congruence relations with two weight 3 newforms for certain congruence subgroups. This gives a modularity interpretation of the motive attached to S3(Γ) by Scholl and also verifies the Atkin-Swinnerton-Dyer congruence conjecture for this space. © 2004 Elsevier Inc.

The ZEUS inclusive differential cross-section data from HERA, for charged and neutral current processes taken with e + and e - beams, together with differential cross-section data on inclusive jet production in e + p scattering and dijet production in γp scattering, have been used in a new NLO QCD analysis to extract the parton distribution functions of the proton. The input of jet-production data constrains the gluon and allows an accurate extraction of alpha s(MZ) at NLO; alphas = 0.1183±0.0028(exp.)±0.0008(model). An additional uncertainty from the choice of scales is estimated as ±0.005. This is the first extraction of alphas(MZ) …

Early-Stage Folding In Proteins (In Silico) Sequence-To-Structure Relation, Michal Brylinski, Leszek Konieczny, Patryk Czerwonko, Wiktor Jurkowski, Irena Roterman
Faculty Publications
A sequence-to-structure library has been created based on the complete PDB database. The tetrapeptide was selected as a unit representing a well-defined structural motif. Seven structural forms were introduced for structure classification. The early-stage folding conformations were used as the objects for structure analysis and classification. The degree of determinability was estimated for the sequence-to-structure and structure-to-sequence relations. Probability calculus and informational entropy were applied for quantitative estimation of the mutual relation between them. The structural motifs representing different forms of loops and bends were found to favor particular sequences in structure-to-sequence analysis. © 2005 Hindawi Publishing Corporation.
Predicting On-Orbit Seu Rates, Keith S. Morgan, Michael J. Wirthlin
Predicting On-Orbit Seu Rates, Keith S. Morgan, Michael J. Wirthlin
Faculty Publications
As process geometry sizes continue to decrease, microelectronics are becoming more vulnerable to the effects of radiation. Of particular concern are the effects of Single-Event Upsets (SEU) in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). An SEU causes a dynamic memory element, such as a flip-flop or latch, to unwantedly change state. Since FPGAs are becoming an increasingly attractive solution for space system electronics, it is desirable to predict static on-orbit SEU rates likely to be encountered by a particular device for any particular orbit. Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) can directly be calculated from a static SEU rate, allowing a system …

Quantum Phase Transition In The U(3) Boson System, Feng Pan, Yu Zhang, Shuo Jin, J. P. Draayer, Mo Lin Ge, J. L. Birman
Faculty Publications
The quantum phase transitional behavior of the U(3) boson model is studied. Low-lying levels, overlaps of wavefunctions with those in the d-wave dominant and s- and d-wave mixed phases, as well as ground state occupation probabilities of s- and d-components are examined as functions of the control parameter and the number of particles. The results indicated that the s- and d-wave component change in the wavefunction possibly is a first order quantum phase transition in the large N limit. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We derive an expression for the commutator of functions of operators with constant commutations relations in terms of the partial derivatives of these functions. This result extends the well-known commutation relation between one operator and a function of another operator. We discuss the range of applicability of the formula with examples in quantum mechanics
Correspondence Expansion For Wide Baseline Stereo, Parris K. Egbert, Kevin L. Steele
Correspondence Expansion For Wide Baseline Stereo, Parris K. Egbert, Kevin L. Steele
Faculty Publications
We present a new method for generating large numbers of accurate point correspondences between two wide baseline images. This is important for structure-from-motion algorithms, which rely on many correct matches to reduce error in the derived geometric structure. Given a small initial correspondence set we iteratively expand the set with nearby points exhibiting strong affine correlation, and then we constrain the set to an epipolar geometry using RANSAC. A key point to our algorithm is to allow a high error tolerance in the constraint, allowing the correspondence set to expand into many areas of an image before applying a lower …

Frequent and detailed updates of the development of a forest fire are essential for effective and safe fire fighting. Since a forest fire is typically inaccessible by ground vehicles due to mountainous terrain, small Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) are emerging as a promising solution to the problem of monitoring large forest fires. In this paper we present an effective path planning algorithm for a UAV utilizing infrared images that are collected on-board in realtime. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of our path planning algorithm in realistic scenarios, we implemented the forest fire propagation model EMBYR to simulate the time …
