Angular Dependence Of The Dipole-Dipole Interaction In A Nearly One-Dimensional Sample Of Rydberg Atoms, Thomas J. Carroll, Katharine Claringbould, Anne Goodsell, M. J. Lim, Michael W. Noel

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

Atoms in an ultracold highly excited sample are strongly coupled through the dipole-dipole interaction. In an effort to understand and manipulate the complicated interactions in this system we are investigating their dependence on the relative orientation of the dipoles. By focusing a 480 nm beam from a tunable dye laser into a magneto-optical trap, we produce a nearly one-dimensional sample of Rydberg atoms. The trap lies at the center of four conducting rods with which we can vary the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the trap, thus controlling the orientation of the dipoles with respect to the …

Analysis And Comparison Of Three Acoustic Energy Density Probes, Lance Lester Locey

Theses and Dissertations

Traditional methods for the investigation of sound fields generally rely on a microphone to convert sound pressure into an electrical signal which can be recorded, displayed, and so forth. The squared sound pressure is directly related to potential energy density. Consequently, the measurement of sound pressure alone does not inherently provide insight into the total energy density of the sound field. Specifically, no information about the kinetic energy density of the sound field is available from this measurement alone. However, it is possible to use two microphones to estimate particle velocity. The squared particle velocity magnitude is directly related to …

Stabilizing Moduli With String Cosmology, Scott Watson

Physics - All Scholarship

In this talk I will discuss the role of finite temperature quantum corrections in string cosmology and show that they can lead to a stabilization mechanism for the volume moduli. I will show that from the higher dimensional perspective this results from the effect of states of enhanced symmetry on the one-loop free energy. These states lead not only to stabilization, but also suggest an alternative model for cold dark matter. At late times, when the low energy effective field theory gives the appropriate description of the dynamics, the moduli will begin to slow-roll and stabilization will generically fail. However, …

A Case Study Of Teaching A Quantitative Course Using Archived Streaming Video, Paul Savory

Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

This case study highlights some of the issues and difficulties experienced in teaching a quantitative course using three methods of delivery: in-class to an audience of students, television broadcast over a satellite system to distance students, and archived streaming video accessible by students. The discussion is applicable to administrators and faculty exploring the option of teaching a course using multiple delivery approaches.

The Superior Aspects Of An Arc Downcomer Tray With Total Deflectors, Zhibing Zhang, Weiming Meng, Zhen Zhou, Yinchun Liang

Separations Technology VI: New Perspectives on Very Large-Scale Operations

A new structural tray ¾ the arc downcomer tray with total deflectors (ADTTD) was designed based on the numerical calculation of entropy generation rate. A pilot-scale setup was established to evaluate its hydrodynamics, heat transfer and mass transfer performances. The correlations for calculating the tray pressure drop and downcomer backup were derived. The measured temperature profiles of the liquid layer on the tray show that the flow pattern is nearly in an ideal mode if suitable deflectors are designed. The pressure drop of this tray decreases by approximately 50% compared with that of a conventional sieve tray in the region …

Coagu-Flocculation Mechanism Of Flocculant And Its Physical Model, Zhan Hanhui, Zhang Xiaoqi, Zhan Xuehui

Separations Technology VI: New Perspectives on Very Large-Scale Operations

On the basis of summarizing and analyzing the theory of coagu-flocculation and its practical application, this paper proposes a physical model for coagu-flocculation. The model defines the process of coagu-flocculation as three steps: mixing, coagulation and flocculation, though there is no strict distinction in the practical processes themselves. Through experiment, two facts are verified: (1) with organic flocculants mixing and flocculation occur substantially in the same step, and need strong mixing intensity; while with inorganic flocculants much weaker mixing intensity is needed; (2) so as to ensure big floccules are formed, weaker mixing for a certain period of time is …

Dynamic Web Tools For Undergraduate Mathematics, Mike Martin, Steven J. Wilson

Innovations in Math Technology

The internet has become widely available, and tools for mathematical computation on the net have now appeared. The authors used webMathematica software to create interactive web pages which allow students and faculty to compute and visualize results directly from a web browser. The nature of the innovation, its significance for instruction, and some implications for student understanding are discussed.

The Discontinuous Nature Of Kriging Interpolation For Digital Terrain Modeling, Thomas H. Meyer

Thomas H. Meyer's Peer-reviewed Articles

Kriging is a widely employed method for interpolating and estimating elevations from digital elevation data. Its place of prominence is due to its elegant theoretical foundation and its convenient practical implementation. From an interpolation point of view, kriging is equivalent to a thin-plate spline and is one species among the many in the genus of weighted inverse distance methods, albeit with attractive properties. However, from a statistical point of view, kriging is a best linear unbiased estimator and, consequently, has a place of distinction among all spatial estimators because any other linear estimator that performs as well as kriging (in …

Variational Stability And Marginal Functions Via Generalized Differentiation, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Nguyen Mau Nam

Mathematics Research Reports

Robust Lipschitzian properties of set-valued mappings and marginal functions play a crucial role in many aspects of variational analysis and its applications, especially for issues related to variational stability and optimizatiou. We develop an approach to variational stability based on generalized differentiation. The principal achievements of this paper include new results on coderivative calculus for set-valued mappings and singular subdifferentials of marginal functions in infinite dimensions with their extended applications to Lipschitzian stability. In this way we derive efficient conditions ensuring the preservation of Lipschitzian and related properties for set-valued mappings under various operations, with the exact bound/modulus estimates, as …

Wide Angle Decentered Lens Beam Steering For Infrared Countermeasures Applications, Jennifer L. Gibson, Bradley D. Duncan, Edward A. Watson, John S. Loomis

Electro-Optics and Photonics Faculty Publications

A beam-steering system consisting of three cemented achromatic doublets is presented. Intended for use in IR countermeasure applications, our system is designed to operate over the 2- to 5-μm spectrum with minimum angular dispersion. We show that dispersion can be minimized by using doublet lenses fashioned from AMTIR-1 and germanium. Our system is designed to be compact and lightweight, with no internal foci, while allowing steering to ±22.5 deg. We also maintain a minimum 2-in. clear aperture for all steering angles, and a nominal divergence of 1 mrad. Plane wave and Gaussian beam analyses of our system are presented.
