A Neptune-Mass Planet Orbiting The Nearby M Dwarf Gj 436, R. Paul Butler, Steve S. Vogt, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Debra A. Fischer, Jason T. Wright, Gregory W. Henry, Gregory Laughlin, Jack J. Lissauer

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications

We report precise Doppler measurements of GJ 436 (M2.5 V) obtained at Keck Observatory. The velocities reveal a planetary companion with orbital period of 2.644 days, eccentricity of 0.12 (consistent with zero), and velocity semiamplitude of K = 18.1 m s-1. The minimum mass (M sin i) for the planet is 0.067MJup = 1.2MNep = 21MEarth, making it the lowest mass exoplanet yet found around a main-sequence star and the first candidate in the Neptune-mass domain. GJ 436 (mass = 0.41 M☉) is only the second M dwarf found to harbor a planet, joining the two-planet system around GJ 876. …

Nebraska Hospital Preparedness For Psychological Consequences Of Public Health Emergencies (Survey Results Summary), Denise Bulling

University of Nebraska Public Policy Center: Publications

The University of Nebraska Public Policy Center recently surveyed hospitals across Nebraska to evaluate behavioral health readiness in the event of a disaster, act of terrorism (including bioterrorism) or other mass-casualty incident. The survey also asked about hospitals’ ability to effectively coordinate with other emergency service providers, such as law enforcement, in the event of a critical incident.

Behavioral health readiness refers to a hospital’s capacity to effectively manage and respond to the psychological needs of patients, staff, and their families resulting from a large scale event or emergency. In many hospitals in Nebraska this capacity is not maintained internally …

Beyond Ethical Leadership: Striving For Authentic Leadership In A New Corporate Context, Mark N. Langseth

Theses and Graduate Projects

Recent corporate scandals in the U.S. - at Enron, WorldCom, Arthur Andersen, and elsewhere - have prompted renewed interest in business ethics. Consistent with the vast majority of organizational leadership literature, however, this new interest in ethics is overwhelmingly focused on the internal practices of corporations. In both the modern organizational leadership literature and recent literature regarding corporate ethics, very little attention has been given to examining leadership from the perspective of the ultimate societal (external) impact of either an organization's products/services or the processes by which they are produced. This essay presents a model of "authentic leadership" in which …

Realistic Clocks, Universal Decoherence, And The Black Hole Information Paradox, Rodolfo Gambini, Rafael A. Porto, Jorge Pullin

Faculty Publications

Quantum mechanics was formulated on the basis of the existence of an ideal classical clock external to the system. The rate of the universal loss of unitarity was estimated using optimal realistic clocks. The loss of unitarity is universal thus affecting all physical phenomena. It is observed that the rate is enough to eliminate the black hole information puzzle.

Toward An Interpretive Evaluation Of Electricity Markets: Comparing Western U.S. And Northern Europe - Whether Common Knowledge Of Rationality Results In Correlated Equilibrium, Eric Charles Woychik

Student Scholarship

Non-experts easily observe that the competitive Northern Europe electricity market2 reflects far less market manipulation (gaming) than in the Western U.S.3 Joseph Stiglitz presents a stark view of U.S. competition, particularly of deregulation gone amok: Basic laws of economics say that competition is supposed to result in zero profits; if the lobbyists really believed their proposals would result in intense competition, why were they investing so much in trying to convince the government to adopt these proposals that would, presumably, wipe away their profits? (Stiglitz 2003, at pg. 90). Competitive market research suggests that inter-firm competition can become muted by …

Basecalling For Traces Derived For Multiple Templates, Aaron Tenney

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

Three methods for analyzing sequencing traces derived from sequencing reactions containing two DNA templates are presented. All rely on alignment to a segment of assembled genomic sequence containing the original template sequence. Spliced alignment algorithms are used so that traces derived from processed mRNA can be analyzed. The main application of these techniques is the elucidation of alternately spliced transcripts. Several experimental verification of one of the techniques is presented including testing on a set of 48 alternately spliced targets from the human genome and 47 negative controls.

Racial Categorization Latencies For Morphed Targets And The Effect Of Terror Managment, Luke R. Wilson

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

This study attempted to replicate and extend the findings of Castano et al. (2002) and Blascovich et al. (1997), both of whom examined how quickly people classify ambiguous facial photographs. Castano et al. found that people who identified strongly with their ingroup took less time to classify ambiguous targets. Blascovich etal. (1997), however, found the opposite- that racist individuals took longer to classify ambiguous photos. However, whereas Blascovich et al. used actual photographs of racially mixed (black vs. white) people, Castano et al. used a computer morphing program to create different ·degrees of racial ambiguity (northern vs. southern Italian). The …

The Initial-Final Mass Relationship: Spectroscopy Of White Dwarfs In Ngc 2099 (M37), Jasonjot Singh Kalirai, Ted Von Hippel, Et Al.

Publications

We present new observations of very faint white dwarfs (WDs) in the rich open star cluster NGC 2099 (M37). Following deep, wide-field imaging of the cluster using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, we have now obtained spectroscopic observations of candidate WDs using both the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph on Gemini North and the Low-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer on Keck. Of our 24 WD candidates (all fainter than V = 22.4), 21 are spectroscopically confirmed to be bona fide WDs, four or five of which are most likely field objects. Fitting 18 of the 21 WD spectra with model atmospheres, we find that most WDs …
