Connected Components In O(Log3/2 N) Parallel Time For The Crew Pram, Donald B. Johnson, P. Takis Metaxas

Computer Science Faculty Scholarship

Finding the connected components of an undirected graph G=(V, E) on n=|V| vertices and m=|E| edges is a fundamental computational problem. The best known parallel algorithm for the CREW PRAM model runs in O(log² n) time using n²/log² n processors. For the CRCW PRAM model, in which concurrent writing is permitted, the best known algorithm runs in O(log n) time using slightly more than (n+m)/log n processors. Simulating this algorithm on the weaker CREW model increases its running …

An Instantaneous Normal Mode Description Of Relaxation In Supercooled Liquids, T. Keyes, G. V. Vijayadamodar, Ulrich Zurcher

Physics Faculty Publications

Relaxation in supercooled liquids is formulated from the instantaneous normal modes (INM) point of view. The frequency and temperature dependence of the unstable, imaginary frequency lobe of the INM density of states, ⟨ρu(ω,T)⟩ (for simplicity we write ω instead of iω), is investigated and characterized over a broad temperature range, 10⩾T⩾0.42, in the unit density Lennard-Jones liquid. INM theories of diffusion invoke Im-ω modes descriptive of barrier crossing, but not all imaginary frequency modes fall into this category. There exists a cutoff frequency ωc such that modes with ω<ωc correspond to “shoulder potentials,” whereas the potential profiles include barrier-crossing double wells for ω>ωc. Given that only modes with ω>ωc contribute to diffusion, …

Spinors, Jets, And The Einstein Equations, Charles G. Torre

All Physics Faculty Publications

Many important features of a field theory, e.g., conserved currents, symplectic structures, energy-momentum tensors, etc., arise as tensors locally constructed from the fields and their derivatives. Such tensors are naturally defined as geometric objects on the jet space of solutions to the field equations. Modern results from the calculus on jet bundles can be combined with a powerful spinor parametrization of the jet space of Einstein metrics to unravel basic features of the Einstein equations. These techniques have been applied to computation of generalized symmetries and “characteristic cohomology” of the Einstein equations, and lead to results such as a proof …

Old Growth Ponderosa Pine And Western Larch Stand Structures: Influences Of Pre-1900 Fires And Fire Exclusion, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service

Forestry

Presents detailed age structure for two western larch stands that historically experienced frequent fires. Compares age structures of eleven ponderosa pine and western larch stands representing a broad range of sites that had frequent fires. Interprets causal factors possibly linked to variations in stand age structures.

Dynamic Productivity, Efficiency, And Technical Innovation In Education: A Mathematical Programming Approach Using Data Envelopment Analysis, Kalyan Chakraborty, Sandeep Mohapatra

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

Despite the long-standing debate surrounding the performance of the U.S. public education system, there is an absence of comprehensive empirical evidence on this issue across different states. Initial dialogues on educational performance prescribed overall increases in expenditures for securing productivity gains. However, more recent themes emphasize the importance of productive efficiency as a key factor in securing performance increases.

This paper measures technical efficiency and total factor productivity in educational production units that utilize a multi output production technology. The technical efficiency scores are explicitly conditioned on socioeconomic and environmental influences. Particular attention is paid to the specification of varying …

Environmental Policy In Developing Countries: A Dynamic Analysis, Amitrajeet A. Batabyal

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

I construct a dynamic model of the environmental policy formulation process in a stylized developing country (DC). N ext, I analyze the employment and output effects of three pollution control policies. These policies embody different assumptions about the DC government's ability to commit to its announced course of action. I characterize the timepath of the government's policy variable, and then I show that optimality calls for an activist policy, irrespective of the length of time to which the government can commit to its announced policy. However, the effects of this activist policy depend fundamentally on the government's period of commitment.

Sem Analysis Of Quartz Sand Grain Surface Textures Indicates Alluvial/Colluvial Origin Of The Quaternary "Glacial" Boulder Clays At Huangshan (Yellow Mountain), East-Central China, P. E. Helland, Pei-Hua Huang, Robert F. Diffendal Jr.

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

Geomorphic features and Pleistocene deposits on Huangshan have been attributed to glaciation. Recent reassessment questions this interpretation. As part of the reassessment, quartz sand grains from deposits identified as glacial boulder clays (till composed of boulders in a clay or silt matrix) were analyzed by scanning electron microscope for evidence of their sedimentary history. Surface textures found on the boulder-clay grains were compared with those on grains with known sedimentary histories including glacial, grus, colluvial, and alluvial grains. The analysis shows that the grains lack typical glacial textures. The surface textures present indicate a complex history. Non-uniformly weathered grain surfaces …

Geology And Ground Water, Cheyenne County, Nebraska, Robert F. Diffendal Jr.

Robert F. Diffendal, Jr., Publications

The oldest rock unit exposed in Cheyenne County is the upper part of the Brule Formation, which is the youngest formation of the White River Group of the Oligocene epoch (33-29 million years old). Surface outcrops, road cuts, and railroad cuts through the Brule Formation occur along the sides of valleys along Lodgepole Creek from just east of Sidney westward to the vicinity of Brownson, along the valley sides of Sidney Draw and its tributaries, and along the sides of an unnamed drainageway northwest of Colton. Test drilling and drilling for wells along the floor of Lodgepole Creek have revealed …

The Use Of Prime Numbers As An Effective Method Of Cryptology, Joshua Flynn

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

With the increasing amount of information transmitted over networks, there is a need to be able to keep this information from falling into the wrong hands. The method that has been used for the past couple of decades is that of cryptography. This paper gives an explanation of cryptography, as well as different alogorithms that are used to solve the problem. One unique thing about a couple of the algorithms is that they use properties provided by prime numbers. In particular, the RSA model, invented by Rivest, Shamir and Adelman, is one model which utilizes the theory that it is …

Basic Needs: A First Grade Curriculum Study, John Heffernan

Graduate Student Independent Studies

The following first grade curriculum study is an investigation of food, shelter and services in the neighborhood surrounding the school. The activities incorporate hands-on research, discussion, and expressive materials to offer opportunities for children to discover the interdependence and relationships that exist in their immediate environment. The three units of food, shelter and community services have specific goals, and they are:

Food -Investigate how markets, stores and restaurants provide food for the neighborhood, where the food comes from and how it gets to Park Slope.

Shelter - Investigate how and where people house themselves in the neighborhood and what are …

A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools : A Reflective Essay, Irvin Laube

Graduate Research Papers

The opportunity to be the leader of a school district and a role model in the community is very exciting. There will be so many lives I will have the opportunity to touch. I eagerly await the chance to make new friends and develop a good rapport with the members of the community. To help accomplish this, I will attempt to answer the three questions which are asked in every relationship: "Do you really care about me personally? Can I trust you? Do you know what you are talking about?"

The staff, parents, students, and community must see me as …
