The Large Cosmological Constant Approximation To Classical And Quantum Gravity: Model Examples, Rodolfo Gambini, Jorge Pullin

Faculty Publications

We have recently introduced an approach for studying perturbatively classical and quantum canonical general relativity. The perturbative technique appears to preserve many of the attractive features of the non-perturbative quantization approach based on Ashtekar's new variables and spin networks. With this approach one can find perturbatively classical observables (quantities that have vanishing Poisson brackets with the constraints) and quantum states (states that are annihilated by the quantum constraints). The relative ease with which the technique appears to deal with these traditionally hard problems opens up several questions concerning how relevant the results produced can possibly be. Among the questions is …

Univercity News (2000-11-06)

UniverCity News, 1998-2001

VCU Today, the University’s first official administrative organ, began as a somewhat irregular monthly publication but moved to a bi-weekly newspaper format in the 1980s. The newspaper changed its name to VCU Voice in 1988 and ten years later it appeared under the title UniverCity News. As it neared the end of its run as a physical newspaper, the publication became simply VCU News. These four publications were essentially the same periodical published under different titles by the Office of University Relations. VCU News appeared online for the first time in 2002.

Biometrics And Network Security, Norman Desmarais

Library Faculty and Staff papers

This paper examines the techniques used in the two categories of biometric techniques (physiological and behavioral) and considers some of the applications for biometric technologies. Common physiological biometrics include finger characteristics (fingertip [fingerprint], thumb, finger length or pattern), palm (print or topography), hand geometry, wrist vein, face, and eye (retina or iris). Behavioral biometrics include voiceprints, keystroke dynamics, and handwritten signatures.

Angular Momentum Partitioning And Hexacontatetrapole Moments In Impulsively Excited Argon Ions, H. M. Al-Khateeb, B. G. Birdsey, Timothy J. Gay

Timothy J. Gay Publications

We have studied polarized electron collisions with Ar in which the target is simultaneously ionized and excited to form Ar⁺(3p⁴(¹D)4p) states. We measured the integrated Stokes parameters of the subsequent fluorescence emitted by the ²F_7/2, ²F_5/2, ²D_5/2, and ²P_3/2 states along the direction of electron polarization. The Rubin-Bederson hypothesis is shown to hold for the L and S multipoles of these states. The electric quadrupole and hexadecapole of the 1D core are derived. By recoupling these moments with …

A Comparison Of Two Actuators For A Semi-Active Helmholtz Resonator, Charles Birdsong, Clark J. Radcliffe

Mechanical Engineering

Two electro-mechanical actuators are examined for a semi-active Helmholtz resonator acoustic device. The device is used to reflect narrow band noise back to the source in an acoustic duct. The controller and actuator are used to tune the system on-line allowing optimum performance over a range of operating conditions. Actuator. dynamics play an important role in the controller design and the operation of the device. Two variations of an electro-mechanical actuator are considered here. The first uses a dual voice coil speaker with local feedback compensation and the second uses the same speaker without the compensation. It is shown that …

A Growth Mixture Theory For Cartilage, Stephen M. Klisch, Robert L. Sah, Anne Hoger

Mechanical Engineering

In this paper we present a model of growth for cartilaginous tissues in which there exists a saturated solid matrix composed of multiple constituents that may grow and remodel independently of each other. Klisch and Hoger recently developed a general theory of volumetric growth for a mixture of ν-1 growing elastic materials and an inviscid fluid, which included a treatment of two special types of internal constraints that are relevant to cartilage. Here, that theory is specialized to construct a cartilage growth model. This theory allows the constituents of the solid matrix to grow independently of each other, and can …

Murray, Frank Oral History Interview, Andrea L'Hommedieu

Edmund S. Muskie Oral History Collection

Frank Murray was born March 12, 1949 in Bangor, Maine. He attended St. John’s Elementary School, John Bapst High School and the University of Maine at Orono and majored in Mathematics. When he was 20, he ran for a seat in Maine State Legislature and won. He served until 1974 when he ran for Senate unsuccessfully and then Secretary of State unsuccessfully. After his defeats, he taught for a couple of years and then went to Catholic University in Washington, D.C. to earn his doctorate in Theology. At the time of this interview, he was serving as a priest in …

Evaluation Of The Macrocyclic Glycopeptide A-40,926 As A High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Chiral Selector And Comparison With Teicoplanin Chiral Stationary Phase, Alain Berthod, Timothy Yu, John P. Kullman, Daniel W. Armstrong, Francesco Gasparrini, Ilaria D'Acquarica, Domenico Misiti, Angelo Carotti

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

A new macrocyclic antibiotic of the vancomycin family, referred to by its industrial designation as A-40,926, was bonded to 5 μm silica particles and utilized as a chiral stationary phase (CSP). Since A-40,926 is structurally related to teicoplanin, the A-40,926 CSP was compared to a commercially available teicoplanin CSP. A set of 28 chiral compounds, including amino-acids and related compounds, compounds with a ring containing the stereogenic centre, compounds bearing aromatic structures near their stereogenic centres and alcohols, was tested for enantioseparation on the two CSPs. The results are compared and discussed in terms of enantioselective Gibbs energy difference. The …

Enantioselective Reversed-Phase And Non-Aqueous Capillary Electrochromatography Using A Teicoplanin Chiral Stationary Phase, Charlotte Karlsson, Håkan Wikström, Daniel W. Armstrong, Paul K. Owens

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

Enantiomeric separation of chiral pharmaceuticals is carried out in aqueous and non-aqueous packed capillary electrochromatography (CEC) using a teicoplanin chiral stationary phase (CSP). Capillaries were slurry packed with 5 μm 100-A porous silica particles modified with teicoplanin and initially evaluated using a non-aqueous polar organic mode system suitability test for the separation of metoprolol enantiomers (R(s)=2.3 and 53 000 plates m-1). A number of pharmaceutical drugs were subsequently screened with enantioselectivity obtained for 25 racemic solutes including examples of neutral, acidic and basic molecules such as coumachlor (R(s)=3.0 and 86 000 plates m-1) and alprenolol (R(s)=3.3 and 135 000 plates …
