High-PT Jets In Pp̅ Collisions At √S =630 And 1800 Gev, B. Abbott, Gregory R. Snow, D0 Collaboration Jul 2001

High-PT Jets In Pp̅ Collisions At √S =630 And 1800 Gev, B. Abbott, Gregory R. Snow, D0 Collaboration

Gregory Snow Publications

Results are presented from analyses of jet data produced in pp̅ collisions at √s =630 and 1800 GeV collected with the DØ detector during the 1994–1995 Fermilab Tevatron Collider run. We discuss the details of detector calibration, and jet selection criteria in measurements of various jet production cross sections at √s = 630 and 1800 GeV. The inclusive jet cross sections, the dijet mass spectrum, the dijet angular distributions, and the ratio of inclusive jet cross sections at√s =630 and 1800 GeV are compared to next-to-leading order QCD predictions. The order αs3 calculations are in …

Contributions From Mafic Alkaline Magmas To The Bingham Porphyry Cu-Au-Mo Deposit, Utah, U.S.A., Daniel T. Maughan Jul 2001

Contributions From Mafic Alkaline Magmas To The Bingham Porphyry Cu-Au-Mo Deposit, Utah, U.S.A., Daniel T. Maughan

Theses and Dissertations

The Bingham porphyry Cu-Au-Mo deposit, Utah, may only be world-class because of substantial contributions of sulfur and metals from mafic alkaline magma to an otherwise unremarkable calc-alkaline system. Volcanic mafic alkaline rocks in the district are enriched in Cr, Ni, and Ba as well as ore-related constituents of Cu, Au, platinum group elements (PGE) and S. The bulk of the volcanic section that is comagmatic with ore-related porphyries is dacitic to trachytic in composition, but has inherited the geochemical signature of high Cr, Ni, and Ba from magma mixing with the mafic alkaline rocks. The volcanic section that most closely …

Cyp83b1 Is The Oxime-Metabolizing Enzyme In The Glucosinolate Pathway In Arabidopsis, Carsten Horslev Hansen, Liangcheng Du, Peter Naur, Carl Erik Olsen, Kristian B. Axelsen, Alastair J. Hick, John A. Pickett, Barbara Ann Halkier Jul 2001

Cyp83b1 Is The Oxime-Metabolizing Enzyme In The Glucosinolate Pathway In Arabidopsis, Carsten Horslev Hansen, Liangcheng Du, Peter Naur, Carl Erik Olsen, Kristian B. Axelsen, Alastair J. Hick, John A. Pickett, Barbara Ann Halkier

Liangcheng Du Publications

CYP83B1 from Arabidopsis thaliana has been identified as the oxime-metabolizing enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of glucosinolates. Biosynthetically active microsomes isolated from Sinapis alba converted p-hydroxyphenylacetaldoxime and cysteine into S-alkylated p-hydroxyphenylacetothiohydroximate, S-(p-hydroxyphenylacetohydroximoyl)-L-cysteine, the next proposed intermediate in the glucosinolate pathway. The production was shown to be dependent on a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase. We searched the genome of A. thaliana for homologues of CYP71E1 (P450ox), the only known oxime-metabolizing enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of the evolutionarily related cyanogenic glucosides. By a combined use of bioinformatics, published expression data, and knock-out phenotypes, we identified the …

Shortcuts In The Fifth Dimension, Robert Caldwell, David Langlois Jul 2001

Shortcuts In The Fifth Dimension, Robert Caldwell, David Langlois

Dartmouth Scholarship

If our Universe is a three-brane embedded in a five-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime, in which matter is confined to the brane and gravity inhabits an infinite bulk space, then the causal propagation of luminous and gravitational signals is in general different. A gravitational signal traveling between two points on the brane can take a “shortcut” through the bulk, and appear quicker than a photon traveling between the same two points along a geodesic on the brane. Similarly, in a given time interval, a gravitational signal can propagate farther than a luminous signal. We quantify this effect, and analyze the impact …

Dynamics Of Symmetry Breaking And Tachyonic Preheating, Gary Felder, Juan García-Bellido, Patrick B. Greene, Lev Kofman, Andrei Linde, Igor Tkachev Jul 2001

Dynamics Of Symmetry Breaking And Tachyonic Preheating, Gary Felder, Juan García-Bellido, Patrick B. Greene, Lev Kofman, Andrei Linde, Igor Tkachev

Physics: Faculty Publications

We reconsider the old problem of the dynamics of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) using 3D lattice simulations. We develop a theory of tachyonic preheating, which occurs due to the spinodal instability of the scalar field. Tachyonic preheating is so efficient that SSB typically completes within a single oscillation as the field rolls towards the minimum of its effective potential. We show that, contrary to previous expectations, preheating in hybrid inflation is typically tachyonic. Our results may also be relevant for the theory of the formation of topological defects and of disoriented chiral condensates in heavy ion collisions.

A Smile And A Handshake Are Not Enough: Moving Toward The Need, Patricia J. Mintz Jul 2001

A Smile And A Handshake Are Not Enough: Moving Toward The Need, Patricia J. Mintz

Student Scholarship

As an undergraduate in 1966, I studied the Fortran and Cobol programming languages on a mainframe computer. At that time, I could not have predicted the personal computer on the desktop. In 1982, we took the plunge and bought an Apple IIe personal computer for use in our home and for the development of my mathematics teaching materials. I was amazed by the power and ability of 64K of memory in that first Apple computer. Over the past eighteen years, the development of powerful personal computers has changed the daily lives of many people in their home and in their …

Classroom Influences On First-Grade Students’ Oral Narratives, Judy A. Abbott, Sarah J. Mccarthey Jul 2001

Classroom Influences On First-Grade Students’ Oral Narratives, Judy A. Abbott, Sarah J. Mccarthey

Faculty Publications

As apart of a longitudinal project examining first-grade reading instruction in 4 districts across the state of Texas, this study explored the nature of students' oral narratives and the connections between teachers' instructional practices and students' narratives. Using an adaptation of Hudson & Shapiro's (1991) narrative categories, we examined 166 narratives generated by firstgrade students, categorizing each as an event-script, a less-developed narrative, a well-developed narrative, or an "other" An exemplar narrative from each of the 4 categories and 2 other narratives that represented the diversity of student responses and the complexity of the relationships between student performance and teacher …

Anatomy Of A Community-Level Fiscal Impact Model: Fit-4-Nh., Tracey L. Farrigan, John M. Halstead, Martin L. Shields, Douglas E. Morris, Edmund F. Jansen Jr

Natural Resources & the Environment

Abstract: This paper describes the development of a fiscal impact tool for New Hampshire communities (HT -4-NH). FIT -4-NH belongs to a family of computergenerated fiscal impact assessment models designed to estimate the impacts to local government revenues and expenditures that result from economic changes. In the past, work in this area has centered on the completion of countylevel models for the midwestern states. FIT-4-NH is unique in that it was designed for rural community-level use in the northern New England region of the country.

General Features Of The Intrinsic Ferroelectric Coercive Field, V. M. Fridkin, Stephen Ducharme Jul 2001

General Features Of The Intrinsic Ferroelectric Coercive Field, V. M. Fridkin, Stephen Ducharme

Stephen Ducharme Publications

The value of the intrinsic ferroelectric coercive field is obtained independently, from general energy considerations and from the predictions of several models of the ferroelectric state. All predictions yield a value of the order of the depolarization field, which is equal to the spontaneous polarization divided by the dielectric permittivity, and are consistent with the recent measurements of the intrinsic ferroelectric coercive field in ultrathin Langmuir–Blodgett films of copolymers of polyvinylidene fluoride with trifluoroethylene. Prior studies succeeded only in measuring the much smaller extrinsic coercive fields, which are limited by nucleation processes and domain motion.

Ferromagnetic Co-C Nanodot Arrays Produced By Direct Interferometric Laser Annealing, M. Zheng, M. Yu, Yi Liu, Ralph Skomski, David J. Sellmyer, V.N. Petryakov, Yu. K. Verevkin, Nikolay Polushkin, N.N. Salashchenko Jul 2001

Ferromagnetic Co-C Nanodot Arrays Produced By Direct Interferometric Laser Annealing, M. Zheng, M. Yu, Yi Liu, Ralph Skomski, David J. Sellmyer, V.N. Petryakov, Yu. K. Verevkin, Nikolay Polushkin, N.N. Salashchenko

Sy-Hwang Liou Publications

Magnetic properties of Co-C nanodot arrays produced by direct interferometric laser annealing are investigated by magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and magnetization measurements. The dots are formed by locally annealing sputtered amorphous Co-C films in regions where the laser intensity is highest. As-sputtered Co-C films do not exhibit ferromagnetic order at room temperature, but MFM shows that the dots become magnetic upon annealing, possibly due to the agglomeration or phase separation of Co-rich clusters. The dots are embedded in either a paramagnetic or weakly magnetic matrix. The magnetic properties of the generated pattern can be changed by varying the laser power. …

Application Of Neuro-Fuzzy Technique+2:9s To Predict Ground Water Vulnerability In Northwest Arkansas, B. Dixon, H. D. Scott, J. V. Brahana, A. Mauromoustakos Jul 2001

Application Of Neuro-Fuzzy Technique+2:9s To Predict Ground Water Vulnerability In Northwest Arkansas, B. Dixon, H. D. Scott, J. V. Brahana, A. Mauromoustakos

Arkansas Water Resources Center Technical Reports

Contamination of ground water has been a major concern in recent years of local, state and federal agencies involved with the management, quality, and quantity of water and their relationships with human health. The Springfield Plateau aquifer, which lies beneath the study area in northwest Arkansas, has been shown to have higher nitrate-N (NO3-N) concentrations than the national median. The dominant landuse (LULC) of this area is agriculture (primarily pasture/cattle and woodlands) and an encroaching urbanization. The major sources of nitrogen in the study area are poultry/cattle wastes, inorganic fertilizers (Peterson et. al., 1998) and septic filter fields. Many of …

High-Temperature Magnetic Properties Of Mechanically Alloyed Smco 5 And Yco5 Magnets, I.A. Al-Omari, Ralph Skomski, R.A. Thomas, D. Leslie-Pelecky, David J. Sellmyer Jul 2001

High-Temperature Magnetic Properties Of Mechanically Alloyed Smco 5 And Yco5 Magnets, I.A. Al-Omari, Ralph Skomski, R.A. Thomas, D. Leslie-Pelecky, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

The high-temperature coercivity of mechanically alloyed and subsequently annealed RCo5 (R=Sm and Y) is studied. The annealed materials have the hexagonal CaCu5 structure with 2 : 17 (or 1 : 7) regions as a minor phase. High-temperature magnetic measurements showthat the coercivities of materials decrease with increasing temperature fromroom-temperature to 873 K, but that the temperature coefficient of the coercivity of YCo5 is much smaller than that of SmCo5. This behavior is explained in terms of the intrinsic temperature variation of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy.

Coercivity Of Titanium-Substituted High-Temperature Permanent Magnets, Jian Zhou, Ralph Skomski, David J. Sellmyer Jul 2001

Coercivity Of Titanium-Substituted High-Temperature Permanent Magnets, Jian Zhou, Ralph Skomski, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

The temperature dependence of the coercivity of Sm–Co based magnets is investigated by magnetization measurements and model calculations. The Zr-free titanium-substituted Sm–Co material exhibits a positive temperature coefficient dHc/dT of the coercivity (TCC) above room temperature, a reasonable hysteresis-loop shape, and an appreciable coercivity of 12.3 kOe at 500 C for the nominal composition Sm(Co6.2Cu0.8Ti0.3). The samples were produced by heat-treating the disordered 1 : 5 alloy commonly referred to as the TbCu7 (or 1 : 7) phase. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that, upon annealing at 1165 C, …
