Soliton Stability In A Z (2) Field Theory, J. J. P. Veerman, D. Bazeia, Fernando Moraes Jan 1999

Soliton Stability In A Z (2) Field Theory, J. J. P. Veerman, D. Bazeia, Fernando Moraes

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

We investigate the stability of the coupled soliton solutions of a two-component Z(2) vector fieldmodel, in contraposition to similar solutions of a Z(2)×Z(2)model recently introduced. We demonstrate that the coupled soliton solutions of the Z(2) model are classically unstable.


Geometrical Models For Grain Dynamics, Giovani L. Vasconcelos, J. J. P. Veerman Jan 1999

Geometrical Models For Grain Dynamics, Giovani L. Vasconcelos, J. J. P. Veerman

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

We study models for the gravity-driven, dissipative motion of a single grain on an inclined rough surface. Imposing some conditions on the momentum loss due to the collisions between the particle and the surface, we arrive at a class of models in which the grain dynamics is described by one-dimensional maps. The dynamics of these maps is studied in detail. We prove the existence of various dynamical phases and show that the presence of these phases is independent of the restitution law (within the class considered).

The Precepts Of Zion And Joseph Smith's City Of Zion Plan: Major Influences For The Planning Of Nauvoo, Marjorie E. Eddy Jan 1999

The Precepts Of Zion And Joseph Smith's City Of Zion Plan: Major Influences For The Planning Of Nauvoo, Marjorie E. Eddy

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis addresses the archaeological question of the relationship between city planning and belief systems. It examines the extent to which the city plan of Nauvoo, Illinois, was influenced by the four precepts of Zion as outlined by Joseph Smith, the first President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These precepts are considered as unity, order, economic equality, and leadership. The City of Zion plan as developed by Joseph Smith was the basis for many cities, including Nauvoo. The Zion plan is examined to determine the influences of the four precepts of Zion on city planning. Specifically, …


The Meaning Of Religious Belief, Practice, And Community For Latter-Day Saint Fathers Of Children With Special Needs, Loren Dean Marks Jan 1999

The Meaning Of Religious Belief, Practice, And Community For Latter-Day Saint Fathers Of Children With Special Needs, Loren Dean Marks

Theses and Dissertations

While the tragedy of American fatherlessness has evoked a growing body of research, religious beliefs, practices, and communities have not been a significant part of the scholarly discussion. This article discusses possible reasons for this and reviews the religion and family literature with a focus on fathers. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 19 Latter-day Saint (LDS) fathers of children with special needs and analyzed to examine the meaning of religious experience for these fathers and their families. Analysis indicated three dimensions of religious experience: spiritual belief, religious practice, and faith community. The spiritual belief in an eternal perspective, including the …

The Influence Of Religiosity In The Construction Of Meaning From Advertising Messages Intended To Promote Lifestyle Values, Lillian Billing Jan 1999

The Influence Of Religiosity In The Construction Of Meaning From Advertising Messages Intended To Promote Lifestyle Values, Lillian Billing

Theses and Dissertations

Religiosity has largely been ignored by consumer research as a factor in the negotiation of meaning from magazine advertisements containing lifestyle messages. A meaning based study was undertaken to seek to identify its presence and emergence within a religious audience. A qualitative methodology employing in-depth, phenomenological interviewing was designed. Six members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, three men and three women, were invited to give their interpretations, thoughts, and feelings towards four magazine advertisements. A second in-depth phenomenological interview was conducted with each participant to provide individual lifeworld contexts. Analysis employed a previously tested conceptual construct, …

The Behavior Of Preweanling Pups Exposed To Valproate In-Utero, Wayne Briner Jan 1999

The Behavior Of Preweanling Pups Exposed To Valproate In-Utero, Wayne Briner

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Valproate is a known human and animal teratogen that produces neural-tube defects. Valproate is also known to produce fetal death and a variety of fetal deformities. The present study considered the role of val pro ate as a behavioral teratogen in rats. Pregnant rats were administered saline or valproate, or simply handled at 10 days gestation and the offspring tested for a variety of behaviors and physical measures. Valproate-exposed animals demonstrated lags in the emergence of swimming behavior, negative geotaxis and weight gain. This evidence points to val pro ate being a behavioral teratogen producing delays in neuromuscular development.


Using Omissive Faults To Obtain Local Convergence In Partially Connected Networks, M. H. Azadmanesh, A. W. Krings Jan 1999

Using Omissive Faults To Obtain Local Convergence In Partially Connected Networks, M. H. Azadmanesh, A. W. Krings

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Approximate Agreement is an important issue in fault-tolerant distributed computing where non-faulty processes exchange and vote upon their local values, to arrive at values which are within the range of the initial values of the non-faulty processes and within a predefined tolerance of each other. Results to date in Approximate Agreement, however, are not capable of exploiting omission faults. Omission faults are presumed not to occur or a predefined default value is substituted for those values not received, or they are globally discarded before the voting algorithm executes. As a result, hybrid fault models can not differentiate between omissive and …

A Key To Dicotyledonous Rosettes Of Eastern Nebraska, Phillip D. Moore Jan 1999

A Key To Dicotyledonous Rosettes Of Eastern Nebraska, Phillip D. Moore

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

This paper provides a key to the identification of rosettes of 113 species of 56 genera of dicotyledonous flowering plants in eastern Nebraska. The key is based on observations of fresh and dried specimens collected from 1977 to 1990. Rosettes were identified from personal experience, by growing seeds or transplanted rosettes in a greenhouse, or by comparison and association with mature plants found growing with the rosettes. Key characteristics taken from dried specimens included leaf shape, leaf size, marginal configuration, surface vestiture, venation pattern, and subterranean morphology while characteristics observed in the field included distribution, habitat, odor, and presence or …

Electron Liquid Beyond The Random Phase Approximation, Mehmet Tomak, Ceyhun Bulutay Jan 1999

Electron Liquid Beyond The Random Phase Approximation, Mehmet Tomak, Ceyhun Bulutay

Turkish Journal of Physics

A deeper understanding of low-dimensional and small-scale electronic systems requires an accurate characterization of the many-electron effects. Based on the electron liquid (EL) model, these many-body effects in the three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) electronic systems are dealt going beyond the random phase approximation within the zero-temperature framework. The dielectric formulation of the many-body problem is recapitulated and the longitudinal dielectric function of the EL is obtained using the self-consistent local-field correction scheme, known as STLS, under a general spin-valley degeneracy. Extensive explicit expressions are provided for the use of other researchers. The performance of this formalism is compared in …


Magnetic Excitations In Random Anisotropic Magnets, İbrahim Avgin Jan 1999

Magnetic Excitations In Random Anisotropic Magnets, İbrahim Avgin

Turkish Journal of Physics

A study is made for the magnetic excitations and their Anderson localization properties for a Heisenberg ferromagnet with random anisotropic fields. The system is assumed to be in a strong applied field so that complete spin alignment is established. The magnetic excitations, i.e., the harmonic spin waves, are computed using coherent-field-anisotropy approximation (a version of coherent potential approximation of the electronic problem). The spin wave shift and damping are calculated using the computed coherent field which is a complex function of energy approximating the random medium as a mean field level. The localizaton of the excitations are calculated by adopting …

Photometric Imaging With Distributive Solar Analogy, Zeki̇ Eker Jan 1999

Photometric Imaging With Distributive Solar Analogy, Zeki̇ Eker

Turkish Journal of Physics

The importance of DSA (Distributive Solar Analogy) when modeling starspots from a photometric data is discussed. It's advantage over the other modeling techniques to confine the solution parameters, especially the spot latitudes are described. Unlike the other photometric techniques which tries to locate limited number of cool surface spots, DSA aims to model global distribution of all virtually existing spots.
