Q.954 And A.954, Quickie Problem And Solution, Arthur T. Benjamin, Michel Bataille

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

Problem and proof proposed by authors.

Another proof, using lattice paths, can be found in Robert A. Sulanke's article, Objects Counted by the Central Delannoy Numbers, The Journal of Integer Sequences, Vol 6, 2003. A proof by polynomials is in Michel Bataille's paper Some Identities about an Old Combinatorial Sum, The Mathematical Gazette, March 2003, pp. 144-8. A slight change in the above proof leads to m ≥ n, a generalization proved by Li Zhou using lattice paths in The Mathematical Gazette.

The National Weather Service's Polygon Method: Warning Dissemination Of The Future, Crystal L. Bergman

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

The National Weather Service (NWS) is continuously improving its forecasting skills, but forecasters still cannot accurately predict the path of a tornado or a severe thunderstorm. The NWS has developed a new warning system in which the warned area is outlined by a polygon, not a county boundary. The polygon-waming approach is expected to significantly reduce the total square-mile area of warnings not followed by an event, called the False Alarm Area. There are three central issues concerning the failure of the polygon-warning method: I) the size of the counties impacted by a storm, 2) the impact of the new …

Exploring The Education Profile And Pipeline For Latinos In New York State, Anthony De Jesús, Daniel W. Vasquez

Policy Documents

Using various education and census databases 1this policy brief explores the Latino education pipeline in New York State and, where possible, uses disaggregated data to analyze the changes in educational enrollment, attainment, and achievement for Latinos between 1990 and 2000. The education pipeline represents the distribution of Latinos enrolled in pre-school through graduate and professional school in New York State as well as the education attainment levels of the adult population over 25 years of age. Disaggregated data provide the best picture of the educational situation of various Latino subgroups as they relate to each other and other racial/ethnic populations …

Interaction Of Porphyrins With A Dendrimer Template: Self-Aggregation Controlled By Ph, Pavel Kubat, Kamil Lang, Pavel Janda, Pavel Anzenbacher Jr.

Chemistry Faculty Publications

The interaction between self-aggregated porphyrins such as 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-phosphonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPP), and a generation 5 (G5) PAMAM dendrimer template is governed by minute differences of porphyrin acido-basic properties. While at neutral pH both monomeric TPPS and TPPP form complexes with G5, decreasing pH did not lead to porphyrin ring protonation (pK(a) approximate to 5) but rather to the preferential formation of H-aggregates (probably H-dimers), most likely due to protonation of the G5. Upon further acidification of the solution, this face-to-face orientation of the porphyrin units is being converted to edge-to-edge aligned J-aggregates with a tightly defined structure. This process …

Fisheries Occasional Publication No. 32 - Allocation Of The Western Australian Abalone Resource Between User Groups, Department Of Fisheries Western Australia

Fisheries Occasional Publications

In this submission to the Integrated Fisheries Allocation Advisory Committee (IFAAC), the Department will outline what it believes are the most practical and cost effective ways of managing a system for allocating the abalone resource between the commercial, customary and recreational sectors.

In preparing this submission, it has been noted that because of the limited data on recreational catch outside of the metropolitan area, the Sustainable Harvest Limit (SHL) set for the fishery relates only to the area that is equivalent to Area 7 of the commercial fishery. Further, it is acknowledged that the Minister has approved that proportional catch …

Brownfield Development: A New Approach To An Old Problem, Jennifer Corum

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

An alarming number of abandoned properties in the United States stifle community productivity and pose serious health risks. Changes in environmental liability laws may effectively remediate these sites, but brownfield rehabilitation requires careful cost benefit analysis on a per-site basis.

Survivable Traffic Grooming With Path Protection At The Connection Level In Wdm Mesh Networks, Wang Yao, Byrav Ramamurthy

School of Computing: Faculty Publications

Survivable traffic grooming (STG) is a promising approach to provide reliable and resource-efficient multigranularity connection services in wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) optical networks. In this paper, we study the STG problem in WDM mesh optical networks employing path protection at the connection level. Both dedicated-protection and shared-protection schemes are considered. Given network resources, the objective of the STG problem is to maximize network throughput. To enable survivability under various kinds of single failures, such as fiber cut and duct cut, we consider the general shared-risklink- group (SRLG) diverse routing constraints. We first resort to the integer-linear-programming (ILP) approach to obtain optimal solutions. …

Structures And Stability Of Medium-Sized Silicon Clusters. Iii. Reexamination Of Motif Transition In Growth Pattern From Si15 To Si20, Soohaeng Yoo, Xiao Cheng Zeng

Xiao Cheng Zeng Publications

It has been established from experiments that stable medium-sized ionic clusters Si₁₅–Si₂₀ are prolate in shape. Density-functional theories (DFTs) also predict that nearly all low-lying neutral clusters in this size range are prolate in shape. Moreover, most of them are built onto two generic structural motifs, either the tricapped-trigonal-prism (TTP) Si₉ motif or the six/six Si₆/Si₆ (sixfold-puckered hexagonal ring Si₆ plus six-atom tetragonal bipyramid Si₆) motif. However, it appears that the exact location of the TTP-to-six/six motif transition is dependent on the functional (e.g., PBE or BLYP) used in the …

A Fe-Fd Hybrid Scheme For Solving Parabolic Two-Step Micro Heat Transport Equations In Irregularly Shaped Three Dimensional Double -Layered Thin Films Exposed To Ultrashort -Pulse Lasers, Brian R. Barron

Doctoral Dissertations

Multi-layer thin films are important components in many micro-electronic devices. These films are often used when a single film layer is insufficient to meet devices specifications. The continued reduction in component size has the side effect of increasing the thermal stress on these films and consequently the devices they comprise. Understanding the transfer of heat-energy at the micro-scale is important for thermal processing using a pulse-laser. Often, micro-voids may be found in processed devices. This is due to thermal expansion. Such defects may cause an amplification of neighboring defects resulting in severe damage and consequently the failure of the device. …

Quantum Versions Of K-Csp Algorithms: A First Step Towards Quantum Algorithms For Interval-Related Constraint Satisfaction Problems, Evgeny Dantsin, Alexander Wolpert, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In many industrial engineering problems, we must select a design, select parameters of a process, or, in general, make a decision. Informally, this decision must be optimal, the best for the users. In traditional operations research, we assume that we know the objective function f(x) whose values describe the consequence of a decision x for the user. Optimization of well-defined functions is what started calculus in the first place: once we know the objective function f(x), we can use differentiation to find its maximum, e.g., as the point x at which the derivative of f with respect to x is …

Decision Making Beyond Arrow's "Impossibility Theorem", With The Analysis Of Effects Of Collusion And Mutual Attraction, Hung T. Nguyen, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In 1951, K. J. Arrow proved that, under certain assumptions, it is impossible to have group decision making rules which satisfy reasonable conditions like symmetry. This Impossibility Theorem is often cited as a proof that reasonable group decision making is impossible.

We start our paper by remarking that Arrow's result only covers the situations when the only information we have about individual preferences is their binary preferences between the alternatives. If we follow the main ideas of modern decision making and game theory and also collect information about the preferences between lotteries (i.e., collect the utility values of different alternatives), …

Simple Electrooptical Sensors For Inorganic Anions, Pavel Anzenbacher Jr., Karolina Jursikova, Manuel Marquez

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Electrooptical sensors consisting of a conjugated chromophore undergoing a change in color and a redox-active moiety such as quinone fused to the chromophore were synthesized. Strong changes in colorimetric and electrochemical properties were observed in the presence of inorganic anions. A unique anion-specific response was observed for fluoride, pyrophosphate, and acetate. DFT (B3LYP/6-31G*) calculations performed for both "on/off" states of a sensor-fluoride model are in good agreement with the observed electrochemical and spectroscopic data.
