Fluctuations And Noise: A General Model With Applications, R. F. O'Connell Dec 2005

Fluctuations And Noise: A General Model With Applications, R. F. O'Connell

Faculty Publications

A wide variety of dissipative and fluctuation problems involving a quantum system in a heat bath can be described by the independent-oscillator (10) model Hamiltonian. Using Heisenberg equations of motion, this leads to a generalized quantum Langevin equation (QLE) for the quantum system involving two quantities which encapsulate the properties of the heat bath. Applications include: atomic energy shifts in a blackbody radiation heat bath; solution of the problem of runaway solutions in QED; electrical circuits (resistively shunted Josephson barrier, microscopic tunnel junction, etc.); conductivity calculations (since the QLE gives a natural separation between dissipative and fluctuation forces); dissipative quantum …

A Multisite Photometric Campaign On The Pre-Main-Sequence ₰ Delta Scuti Pulsator Ip Per, V. Ripepi, T. D. Oswalt, S. Bernabei, M. Marconi, Et Al. Dec 2005

A Multisite Photometric Campaign On The Pre-Main-Sequence ₰ Delta Scuti Pulsator Ip Per, V. Ripepi, T. D. Oswalt, S. Bernabei, M. Marconi, Et Al.

Publications

We present the results of a photometric multisite campaign on the δ Scuti Pre-Main-Sequence star IP Per. Nine telescopes have been involved in the observations, with a total of about 190 h of observations over 38 nights. Present data confirms the multiperiodic nature of this star and leads to the identification of at least nine pulsational frequencies. Comparison with the predictions of linear non-adiabatic radial pulsation models allowed us to identify only five of the nine observed frequencies, and to constrain the position of IP Per in the HR diagram. The latter is in good agreement with the empirical determination …


Ultracold Neutral Plasma Expansion In Two Dimensions, E. A. Cummings, J. E. Daily, Dallin S. Durfee, Scott D. Bergeson Dec 2005

Ultracold Neutral Plasma Expansion In Two Dimensions, E. A. Cummings, J. E. Daily, Dallin S. Durfee, Scott D. Bergeson

Faculty Publications

An isothermal model of ultracold neutral plasma expansion is extended to systems without spherical symmetry. It is used to interpret new fluorescence measurements on ultracold neutral calcium plasmas. For a self-similar expansion, the fluid equations are solved both analytically and numerically. The density and velocity solutions are used to predict fluorescence signals induced by a laser beam weakly focused into the plasma. Despite the simplicity of the model, predicted fluorescence signals reproduce major features of the experimental data

Some Preliminary Statistical, Qualitative, And Anecdotal Findings Of An Empirical Study Of Collegiality Among Law Professors, Michael L. Seigel

ExpressO

This article is an empirically-based follow-up to a piece I published last year in the Journal of Legal Education entitled, On Collegiality, 54 J. Legal Educ. 406 (2004). It provides insight into the process of conducting empirical research and sets forth some preliminary – yet very intriguing – data and qualitative information gleaned from a survey responded to by more than 1200 law professors nationwide. The survey addressed a wide range of topics related to collegiality and job satisfaction in the legal-academic profession.

La Cultura Profesional De Los Docentes En Enseñanza Secundaria: Un Estudio Biográfico, José Ignacio Rivas Flores, Maria Del Pilar Sepúlveda Ruíz, Pilar Rodrigo Muñoz

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

This work discusses the "voices" of teachers working "at the chalk face". We are interested in learning what teachers think and behave. Therefore, we conducted our research about their working conditions. We also developed teachers’ professional biographies to learn how these educators construct concepts and practices related to their profession and what constitutes their "professional culture". We understand that the professional culture characterizes teachers’ professional frameworks and choices; therefore, any attempt to successfully promote an educational reform, must understand and pay attention to the “professional culture”

Identification And Location Of Sunken Logs Using Sidescan Sonar Technology, Aravindh Srivatsav Ravichandran Dec 2005

Identification And Location Of Sunken Logs Using Sidescan Sonar Technology, Aravindh Srivatsav Ravichandran

Theses and Dissertations

Identifying the location of sunken logs is a task of considerable interest in today?s world economy. The main motive of this work is to find and locate sunken cypress logs that were lost during the transit to a lumber mills. Underwater logging is possible because of the fact that many of the logs were barely affected by the decades of submersion. Cypress logs, the types of logs used in this research have a natural resistant to rotting. The other probability for the logs not being affected significantly, even staying in water for decades, is the high density of the growth …

Transport Rate-Based Model For Overland Flow And Solute Transport: Parameter Estimation And Process Simulation, Zhi Qiang Deng, João L.M.P. De Lima, Vijay P. Singh Dec 2005

Transport Rate-Based Model For Overland Flow And Solute Transport: Parameter Estimation And Process Simulation, Zhi Qiang Deng, João L.M.P. De Lima, Vijay P. Singh

Faculty Publications

A one-dimensional mathematical model, termed a transport rate-based model, is developed for solute transport over infiltrating soil slopes under constant rainfall and declining sources. The model is comprised of (1) the kinematic-wave equation for overland flow, (2) a transport rate-based advection equation for overland solute transport, (3) a moment-based method for estimation of the parameters involved in the flow and solute transport equations, and (4) a semi-Lagrangian algorithm for numerical solution of the solute transport equation. Data from a single soil flume experiment under constant rainfall established the proof-of-concept for this new model. Sodium chloride was applied to the soil …

A case study design was applied to this research. The researcher/participant was the case under study in the context of the delivery of online instruction. The researcher who was also the online instructional facilitator experienced the process of delivering …


A Micro-Cooling, Heating, And Power (M-Chp) Instructional Module, Jason Ryan Oliver Dec 2005

A Micro-Cooling, Heating, And Power (M-Chp) Instructional Module, Jason Ryan Oliver

Theses and Dissertations

Cooling, Heating, and Power (CHP) is an emerging category of energy systems consisting of power generation equipment coupled with thermally activated components. The application of CHP systems to residential and small commercial buildings is known as micro-CHP (m-CHP). This instructional module has been developed to introduce engineering students to m-CHP. In the typical engineering curriculum, a number of courses could contain topics related to m-CHP. Thermodynamics, heat transfer, HVAC, heat and power, thermal systems design, and alternate energy systems courses are appropriate m-CHP topics. The types of material and level of analysis for this range of courses vary. In thermodynamics …


An Investigation Of Firms' Earnings Management Practices Around Product Recalls, Zeeshan Ahmed Dec 2005

An Investigation Of Firms' Earnings Management Practices Around Product Recalls, Zeeshan Ahmed

Theses and Dissertations

This study investigates the earnings management practices of firms around product recalls. In recent years, the management of earnings around firm-specific events has received considerable attention in the finance and accounting literature. New equity issues, mergers and acquisitions, share repurchases, and management buyouts are some events around which at least some firms have been shown to manage their earnings to achieve managements? objectives. Product recalls offer yet another interesting occasion when managers have incentives to cover up the true financial performance of their firms and mislead investors. In order to determine whether firms announcing product recalls manage earnings more aggressively …


Testing The Floristic Quality Assessment Index In Natural And Created Wetlands In Mississippi, Usa, Brook Danielle Herman Dec 2005

Testing The Floristic Quality Assessment Index In Natural And Created Wetlands In Mississippi, Usa, Brook Danielle Herman

Theses and Dissertations

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has mandated that states must include the use of biological assessments in their water quality laws to assess the biological integrity of aquatic systems. The Floristic Quality Assessment Index (FQAI), which uses wetland vegetation to assess the biological integrity of an ecosystem, has not been tested in Mississippi. The purpose of this study was to test the efficiency of the FQAI in wetlands along a gradient of human influence. Coefficients of conservatism (CC) were assigned to plant species based on their tolerance to disturbance and fidelity to habitat. A negative correlation was found between the …


Individualistic Roamers Or Community Builders?:Differences And Boundaries Among Rvers, Gloria Anne Mattingly Dec 2005

Individualistic Roamers Or Community Builders?:Differences And Boundaries Among Rvers, Gloria Anne Mattingly

Theses and Dissertations

The number of leisure and working RVers roaming America?s highways, now conservatively estimated at over eight million, continues to increase (Curtin 2001; Sommer 2003). In spite of their growing presence and unique lifestyle, these populations remain sociologically understudied. This exploratory case study of two distinctly different RV parks is a small but significant step toward filling that research gap. At both RV parks I found a diverse population of individualists who value self-contained travel, freedom, relaxation, and sociality. In spite of sharing a collective, subcultural lifestyle, they differed along multiple axes. Marked differences separate RVers into three broad groups (full-timers, …
