description: The galactic black hole candidate XTE J1817-330 was discovered in outburst by RXTE in January 2006. We present here the results of an XMM-Newton Target of opportunity observation (TOO), performed on 13 March 2006 (44 days after the maximum), and an INTEGRAL observation performed on 15-18 February 2006 (18 days after the maximum). The EPIC-pn camera on-board XMM-Newton was used in the fast read-out Burst mode to avoid photon pile-up, while the RGSs were used in Spectroscopy high count-rate mode. We fit both the XMM-Newton and the INTEGRAL spectra with a two-component model consisting of a thermal accretion disk and a comptonizing hot corona. The soft X-ray spectrum is dominated by an accretion disk component, with a maximum temperature decreasing from 0.96+/-0.04 keV at the time of the INTEGRAL observation to 0.70+/-m0.01 keV on 13 March. The Optical Monitors on board INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton showed the source with magnitudes V: 11.3-11.4, U:15.0-15.1 and UVW1:14.7-14.8. The soft X-ray spectrum, together with the optical and UV data, show a low hydrogen column density towards the source, and several absorption lines, most likely of interstellar origin, are detected in the RGS spectrum: OI K-alpha, OI K-beta, OII, OIII and OVII, which trace both cold and hot components of the ISM. The soft X-ray spectrum indicates the presence of a black hole, with an estimate for the upper limit of the mass of 6.0(+4.0/-2.5) Msun.

description: We describe a mechanism, which links the long-range potential fluctuations induced by charged defects to the low frequency resistance noise widely known as 1/f noise. This mechanism is amenable to the first principles microscopic calculation of the noise spectrum, which includes the absolute noise intensity. We have performed such a calculation for the thin films of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) under the condition that current flows perpendicular to the plane of the films, and found a very good agreement between the theoretical noise intensity and the measured one. The mechanism described is quite general. It should be present in a broad class of systems containing poorly screened charged defects.

description: In order to popularize the so called Schwinger's method we reconsider the Feynman propagator of two non-relativistic systems: a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field and a charged harmonic oscillator in a uniform magnetic field. Instead of solving the Heisenberg equations for the position and the canonical momentum operators, ${\bf R}$ and ${\bf P}$, we apply this method by solving the Heisenberg equations for the gauge invariant operators ${\bf R}$ and $\mathversion{bold}$π$ = {\bf P}-e{\bf A}$, the latter being the mechanical momentum operator. In our procedure we avoid fixing the gauge from the beginning and the result thus obtained shows explicitly the gauge dependence of the Feynman propagator.

description: We report ^{115}In nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements in the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn_5 as a function of temperature in different magnetic fields applied parallel to the $(\hat a, \hat b)$ plane. The measurements probe a part of the phase diagram in the vicinity of the superconducting critical field H_{c2} where a possible inhomogeneous superconducting state, Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO), is stabilized. We have identified clear NMR signatures of two phase transitions occurring in this part of the phase diagram. The first order phase transitions are characterized by the sizable discontinuity of the shift. We find that a continuous second order phase transition from the superconducting to the FFLO state occurs at temperature below which the shift becomes temperature independent. We have compiled the first phase diagram of CeCoIn_5 in the vicinity of H_{c2} from NMR data and found that it is in agreement with the one determined by thermodynamic measurements.

THE DEPICTION OF JEWS IN SELECTED WORKS BY PAOLO UCCELLO AND PIERO DELLA FRANCESCA
Creators: name: Clavelli, Gloria
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this Capstone Project is to investigate the depiction of Jewish peoples in the art of artists Paolo Uccello and Piero della Francesca, fifteenth-century painters in Italy. Many Italian city states could not function without their Jewish populations, and yet Jews were persecuted, ridiculed, segregated from the general Catholic population, and vilified in the religious art of the period. The project will focus on two works: The Miracle of the Profaned Host predella by Paolo Uccello for the Confraternity of Corpus Domini at Urbino and The Legend of the True Cross fresco cycle by Piero della Francesca in the Franciscan church of San Francesco at Arezzo. The paintings will be examined to determine if they portray Jews in the stereotypical manner of the times, and what or who may have influenced the complex way Jews are depicted in these works by two renowned Italian artists of the Quattrocento.
Quenched limits for transient, zero speed one-dimensional random walk in random environment
Creators: name: Peterson, Jonathon

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: We consider a nearest-neighbor, one dimensional random walk $\{X_n\}_{n\geq0}$ in a random i.i.d. environment, in the regime where the walk is transient but with zero speed, so that $X_n$ is of order $n^s$ for some $s<1$. Under the quenched law (i.e., conditioned on the environment), we show that no limit laws are possible: There exist sequences $\{n_k\}$ and $\{x_k\}$ depending on the environment only, such that $X_{n_k}-x_k=o(\log n_k)^2$ (a localized regime). On the other hand, there exist sequences $\{t_m\}$ and $\{s_m\}$ depending on the environment only, such that $\log s_m/\log t_m\to s<1$ and $P_ω(X_{t_m}/s_m\leq x)\to1/2$ for all $x>0$ and $\to0$ for $x\leq0$ (a spread out regime).

Spontaneous emission from a two--level atom tunneling in a double--well potential
Creators: name: Braun, Daniel
name: Martin, John
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study a two-level atom in a double--well potential coupled to a continuum of electromagnetic modes (black body radiation in three dimensions at zero absolute temperature). Internal and external degrees of the atom couple due to recoil during emission of a photon. We provide a full analysis of the problem in the long wavelengths limit up to the border of the Lamb-Dicke regime, including a study of the internal dynamics of the atom (spontaneous emission), the tunneling motion, and the electric field of the emitted photon. The tunneling process itself may or may not decohere depending on the wavelength corresponding to the internal transition compared to the distance between the two wells of the external potential, as well as on the spontaneous emission rate compared to the tunneling frequency. Interference fringes appear in the emitted light from a tunneling atom, or an atom in a stationary coherent superposition of its center--of--mass motion, if the wavelength is comparable to the well separation, but only if the external state of the atom is post-selected.

description: In this paper we obtain general integral formulas for probabilities in the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on the integer lattice with nearest neighbor hopping rates p to the right and q=1-p to the left. For the most part we consider an N-particle system but for certain of these formulas we can take the limit as N goes to infinity. First we obtain, for the N-particle system, a formula for the probability of a configuration at time t, given the initial configuration. For this we use Bethe Ansatz ideas to solve the master equation, extending a result of Schuetz for the case N=2. The main results of the paper, derived from this, are integral formulas for the probability, for given initial configuration, that the m'th left-most particle is at x at time t. In one of these formulas we can take the limit as N goes to infinity, and it gives the probability for an infinite system where the initial configuration is bounded on one side. For the special case of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) our formulas reduce to the known ones.

title: Agricultural entrepreneurs as entrepreneurial partners in land use management: a policy-based characterization
Creators: name: Steele, Scott R.
Publisher: name: National University of Ireland, Galway
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Economics
subject: Land-use management
subject: Organisational economics
subject: Agricultural entrepreneurs

description: An organizational economic analysis of the agricultural enterprise illustrates that agricultural entrepreneurs are not the independent capitalist entrepreneurs they are often assumed to be. This paper offers an alternative characterization of agricultural entrepreneurs as entrepreneurial land-use managers in an (uneasy) partnership with the state to provide food and fiber and additional non-food based environmental products and services. Analysis of European and North American agricultural policy on market liberalization and the environment support this characterization. The partnership characterization is important for understanding current agricultural policies and the relationships between agricultural entrepreneurs, the state and the general populace.

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: The instanton representation of Plebanski gravity provides as equations of motion a Hodge self-duality condition and a set of `generalized' Maxwell's equations, subject to gravitational degrees of freedom encoded in the initial value constraints of general relativity. The main result of the present paper will be to prove that this constraint surface is preserved under time evolution. We carry this out not using the usual Dirac procedure, but rather the Lagrangian equations of motion themsleves. Finally, we provide a comparison with the Ashtekar formulation to place these results into overall context.

description: Quantum key distribution (QKD) systems can send signals over more than 100 km standard optical fiber and are widely believed to be secure. Here, we show experimentally for the first time a technologically feasible attack, namely the time-shift attack, against a commercial QKD system. Our result shows that, contrary to popular belief, an eavesdropper, Eve, has a non-negligible probability (~4%) to break the security of the system. Eve's success is due to the well-known detection efficiency loophole in the experimental testing of Bell inequalities. Therefore, the detection efficiency loophole plays a key role not only in fundamental physics, but also in technological applications such as QKD.

The Lost Medium In The Montgomery County Public Schools As Reflected In Sherwood High School
Creators: name: Cliser, Robert L.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 1973

description: It is the intent of this report to examine in an exploratory fashion the complex of problems troubling educators across the nation: degradation of the environment; loss of faith in institutions; alienation of youth; and the rejection of traditional values. At first glance there are seemingly divergent parts but, all have three characteristics in common: they occur to some degree in all schools; they contain social, psychological, economic, and political elements; and, most important of all, they interact. It is the dilemma of educators that they can perceive the complex of problems, yet, despite their considerable knowledge and skills, they do not understand the origins, significance, and interrelationships of its many components and thus are unable to devise effective responses. This failure, it is felt, occurs in large part because we continue to examine single items in the complex of problems without understanding that the whole is more than the sum of its parts, that change in one element means change in the others. This report will show that a complex of problems does exist within the more sophisticated and affluent educational systems as well as the less sophisticated and less affluent educational systems. It will attempt to show that even with a powerful medium, such as exists within the Montgomery Public Schools, that there exists an unpardonable impounding of information concerning these problems. The setting in which this report was conceived is a comprehensive secondary high school located in Sandy Spring, Maryland. Its problems are not unique. It is a crisis situation which is existant in any other educational setting. Specifically stated and applicable nationally is the question of who will ultimately control the schools. How can the message of the medium become an actuality and just what role should educators seek to play so that they can assist in the resolution of the complex problems facing the human community through education.

description: Working with a large basis of covariant derivative-based meson interpolating fields we demonstrate the feasibility of reliably extracting multiple excited states using a variational method. The study is performed on quenched anisotropic lattices with clover quarks at the charm mass. We demonstrate how a knowledge of the continuum limit of a lattice interpolating field can give additional spin-assignment information, even at a single lattice spacing, via the overlap factors of interpolating field and state. Excited state masses are systematically high with respect to quark potential model predictions and, where they exist, experimental states. We conclude that this is most likely a result of the quenched approximation.

Εξετάσαμε πρώτα μη γραμμικά ελλειπτικά συστήματα όταν το δυναμικό είναι αναλλοίωτο ως προς μια διακριτή ομάδα ανακλάσεων, και κατασκευάσαμε θετικές λύσεις που ικανοποιούν τις μικτές συνοριακές συνθήκες για το θεμελιώδες χωρίο της ομάδας. Αποδείξαμε μια εκτίμηση των λύσεων και μελετήσαμε επίσης τα όριά τους όταν διαστέλλεται ή συστέλλεται το πλέγμα του πεδίου ορισμού. Έπειτα, επικεντρωθήκαμε στις αρμονικές απεικονίσεις στο επίπεδο. Δοθέντων δύο πολυγώνων με τον ίδιο αριθμό πλευρών, αποδείξαμε την ύπαρξη μιας μοναδικής αρμονικής απεικόνισης που ικανοποιεί τις μικτές συνοριακές συνθήκες για τα δύο πολύγωνα αυτά. Η προαναφερθείσα λύση χαρακτηρίζεται ως ο μοναδικός ελαχιστοποιητής της Dirichlet ενέργειας στην κλάση των απεικονίσεων που ικανοποιούν την πρώτη μικτή συνοριακή συνθήκη. Στη συνέχεια, εξετάσαμε το αντίστοιχο πρόβλημα για ομαλά χωρία του επιπέδου και απαντήσαμε στο ερώτημα της μοναδικότητας των λύσεων. Τέλος, διατυπώσαμε την Χαμιλτονιανή ταυτότητα και την ταυτότητα Pohozaev για τις λύσεις ελλειπτικών συστημάτων που ικανοποιούν τις μικτές συνοριακές συνθήκες.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the construction and the study of solutions to elliptic systems of partial differential equations which satisfy the mixed boundary conditions for polyhedrical domains of a Euclidean space. We first examined nonlinear elliptic systems when the potential is invariant under a discrete reflection group, and we constructed positive solutions which satisfy the mixed boundary conditions for the fundamental region of the group. We proved an estimate for the solutions and also studied their limits as the size of the fundamental region in space domain, goes to 0 or infinity. In the second part of the thesis, we focused on harmonic maps on the plane. Given two polygons with the same number of sides, we proved the existence of a unique harmonic map which satisfies the mixed boundary conditions for these polygons. The aforementioned solution is characterized as the only minimizer of the Dirichlet energy in the class of maps which satisfy the first mixed boundary condition. Next, we discussed the corresponding problem for smooth domains of the plane and we answered the question of uniqueness of solutions. Finally, we stated the Hamiltonian identity and Pohozaev identity for the solutions of elliptic systems which satisfy the mixed boundary conditions.

The experimental results showed that the chemosensor can selectively detect TNP without interference from other nitroaromatic explosives and common metal ions in natural water. There was a good linear relationship between the fluorescence intensities of the chemosensor and TNP concentration (5–50) × 10−7 M, displaying a limit of detection of 2.15 × 10−7 M.

description: Η οξεία προμυελοκυτταρική λευχαιμία (Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia) χαρακτηρίζεται από τη χρωμοσωμική μετατόπιση t(15:17) η οποία δημιουργεί το σύντηκτο ογκογονίδιο PML-RARα σε > 90% των περιπτώσεων. Τα κύτταρα της APL εκφράζουν την επίσης ογκογόνο κυκλίνη Α1 η οποία σχηματίζει λειτουργικά σύμπλοκα με τις κινάσες CDK1/CDK2. Το All-Trans ρετινοϊκό οξύ (ΑΤRA) που χρησιμοποιείται στη θεραπεία της APL, επάγει τη διάσπαση της PML-RARα και τη διαφοροποίηση αλλά οι φαρμακολογικές δόσεις προκαλούν σοβαρές παρενέργειες. Στη μελέτη μας κυτταρικές σειρές NB4 οξείας προμυελοκυτταρικής λευχαιμίας, υποβλήθηκαν σε διαφορετικές συγκεντρώσεις ΑTRA σε συνδυασμό με αναστoλείς των κυκλινοεξαρτώμενων κινασών (Olomoucine, Roscovitine ). Η μελέτη της διαφοροποίησης έγινε με χρωστική Giemsa-Wright, μορφολογικό προσδιορισμό με μικροσκόπηση, με τη μέθοδο αναγωγής του ΝΒΤ και από τα επίπεδα της ογκογόνου πρωτεΐνης καθώς και των παραγόντων μεταγραφής C/EBP με τη μέθοδο της ανοσοαποτύπωσης (Western Blot). Τα αποτελέσματα της μελέτης μας δείχνουν ότι η συνδυασμένη δόση υποφαρμακoλογικών επιπέδων ATRA/Olomoucine και ATRA/Roscovitine σε κυτταρικές σειρές της ΑPL (NB4) προκαλεί φαινοτυπική διαφοροποίηση των κυττάρων, μειωμένα επίπεδα της κινάσης CDK4, απουσία διάσπασης της σύντηκτης πρωτεΐνης και υπερέκφραση του παράγοντα μεταγραφής CEBP/ε.
description: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by chromosome translocations, which generate fusion oncogenic proteins that play critical roles in pathogenesis. Of these chromosomal translocations, the RARα gene is fused with the PML gene in frame to form a chimeric PML-RARα gene, which is expressed in over 95% of the patients with t(15;17)q22;q21. APL cells also express the germ cell-specific Cyclin A1 protein, which also contributes to APL-like disease in mouse models. Retinoic acid (RA) induces relocalization and degradation of PML-RARα and has contributed to effective therapy for APL. However, pharmacologic levels of RA cause several serious side effects and its effectiveness is reduced. APL patients respond to pharmacologic levels of ATRA with myelodysplastic syndrome, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and skin cancers. Recent evidence suggests that low doses of ATRA with other modalities, such as specific inhibitors of the CDK’s (CDKi’s), e.g. Olomoucine, Roscovitine etc), are equally efficacious with potentially reduced toxicity, for the treatment or prevention of cancer. Here, we demonstrate that combined use of low (sub-pharmacological) levels of ATRA/Olomoucine and ATRA/Roscovitine in NB4 cells leads to effective differentiation accompanied by reduction in CDK4 protein levels, lack of degradation of the fusion protein and upregulation of the transcription factor CEBP/ε.

description: Competencies Perceived by Maryland Home Economics Parenthood Educators as Necessary to Teach Parenthood Education. Barbara Shipley Cober, Master's. Hood College, Frederick, Maryland, 1979. This study attempted to determine how prepared home economics teachers are to teach parenthood education by identifying and validating for Maryland the competencies home economists need to teach parenthood education. A three-part questionnaire was developed to collect data on the competencies perceived as necessary for parenthood educators, desirable academic preparation and personal qualities, and background and concerns of the participants. The population consisted of 140 female home economics parenthood educators in Maryland public secondary schools in the spring of 1979. A random sample of 70 was chosen for this study. The data were collected from 50 of the identified sample through the use of a mailed questionnaire. The data were analyzed using statistical analysis to obtain frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, and correlation coefficients. The majority of the respondents were certified in Home Economics-Consumer and Homemaking Education. The mean for years teaching home economics was 9.4, while the mean for years teaching parenthood education was 6.3. Over 50 percent of the respondents had taken courses beyond the undergraduate degree in areas related to parenthood education and family life. Home economics parenthood education was taught most frequently by these teachers in a child development laboratory setting in a course entitled Child Growth and Development. A majority of the respondents desired further assistance, mainly in the area of curriculum materials. All 28 competencies in the area of human development and family in the publication, Competencies for Home Economics Teachers, were perceived as necessary for teaching parenthood education. Seven competencies were seen by 50 percent of the respondents as those that can be acquired while teaching parenthood education. The subject matter areas of human growth and development and human relationships were seen as most valuable in preparing the home economics parenthood educator. From a list of nine personal qualities, emotional security was seen as the most desirable. Memberships in American Home Economics Association and National Council on Family Relations were most frequently selected from a list of five professional organizations as desirable association involvement for the home economics parenthood educator.

description: The quantity of dust in a spiral disk can be estimated using the dust's typical emission or the extinction of a known source. In this paper, we compare two techniques, one based on emission and one on absorption, applied on sections of fourteen disk galaxies. The two measurements reflect, respectively the average and apparent optical depth of a disk section. Hence, they depend differently on the average number and optical depth of ISM structures in the disk. The small scale geometry of the cold ISM is critical for accurate models of the overall energy budget of spiral disks. ISM geometry, relative contributions of different stellar populations and dust emissivity are all free parameters in galaxy Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) models; they are also sometimes degenerate, depending on wavelength coverage. Our aim is to constrain typical ISM geometry. The apparent optical depth measurement comes from the number of distant galaxies seen in HST images through the foreground disk. We measure the IR flux in images from the {\it Spitzer} Infrared Nearby Galaxy Survey in the same section of the disk that was covered by HST. A physical model of the dust is fit to the SED to estimate the dust surface density, mean temperature, and brightness in these disk sections. The surface density is subsequently converted into the average optical depth estimate. The two measurements generally agree. The ratios between the measured average and apparent optical depths of the disk sections imply optically thin clouds in these disks. Optically thick disks, are likely to have more than a single cloud along the line-of-sight.

Subjects: subject: Labour supply
subject: Off-farm work,
subject: Aricultural households
subject: Economics

description: The objective of this paper is to assess the currently available literature relating to the labour allocation of farm households. An overview of the theoretical model relating to joint participation and hours of labour supply decisions of farm households is presented; followed by the resulting empirical specification. A discussion of the factors affecting both the participation in an off-farm job and the level of off-farm labour supplied is then undertaken and empirical findings from a range of studies are presented. There is found to be a degree of consensus among authors in relation to the variables chosen to explain the decisions and the nature of the relationships established. Broadly speaking, household characteristics have a stronger influence on spouses decisions than on operators, and farm characteristics have a stronger impact on operators decisions than spouses.

Molecular spectroscopy of ionic and neutral species in the gas phase
Creators: name: Cramb, David Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis details the analyses of high resolution visible, infrared, and microwave spectra of gas phase ionic and neutral molecules. The visible and infrared spectra of several ions were measured using velocity modulation spectrometers developed in the present work. In each case the ions were generated in an electric discharge plasma. The microwave spectrum of vinyl iodide, CH₂=CHI, has been extensively measured and analysed. Visible Spectroscopy using Velocity Modulation: The (6,1) and (13,6) vibrational bands of the A²IIu — X²Σg⁺ electronic transition of N₂⁺ have been recorded in absorption at Doppler limited resolution. The rotational fine structure was fitted by least squares to standard expressions. The rotational and translational temperatures have been measured and indicate an equilibrium between translational and rotational motion in the He/N₂ plasma. Infrared Spectroscopy using Velocity Modulation: The infrared spectra of HCO⁺, H₃⁺ , HeD⁺, and N₂⁺ have been observed. Two previously unmeasured lines of the v₃ band of HCO⁺ and several previously measured lines of the v₂ band of H₃⁺ were used to adjust the spectrometer for maximum sensitivity. A new line in the rotational fine structure of the v = 1 ← 0 band of HeD⁺ was analysed using standard expressions. The rotational fine structure of the (2,5) vibrational band of the A²IIu — X²Σg⁺ electronic transition of N₂⁺ has been recorded and analysed in the region 2125 - 2205 cm⁻¹. Using the vibrational origin, T₂,₅ , obtained from this analysis combined with the origins, T₆,₁ and T₁₃,₆, obtained from the analyses of the visible spectra of N₂⁺ , it was possible to determine third order equilibrium vibrational coefficients for both the X²Σg⁺ and A²IIu states. Microwave Spectroscopy: The microwave spectrum of vinyl iodide, in its ground and first excited vibrational states, has been measured in the frequency range 20 - 108 GHz. The spectrum contains strong a-type transitions and very weak b-type transitions; all contain ¹²⁷I quadrupole hyperfine structure, with several large perturbations. A procedure specially devised for analysis of such spectra, which takes advantage of the perturbations, was applied to produce accurate values of constants that are otherwise unobtainable, and have permitted assignment of some b-type transitions. Also, as a result of this procedure, it was possible to measure both components of the dipole moment with relative ease. The centrifugal distortion constants and inertial defects have been compared with those calculated from a published harmonic force field, modified for the out-of-plane vibrations. A partial structure has been obtained.

description: We analyze the effect of gravitational radiation reaction on generic orbits around a body with an axisymmetric mass quadrupole moment Q to linear order in Q, to the leading post-Newtonian order, and to linear order in the mass ratio. This system admits three constants of the motion in absence of radiation reaction: energy, angular momentum, and a third constant analogous to the Carter constant. We compute instantaneous and time-averaged rates of change of these three constants. For a point particle orbiting a black hole, Ryan has computed the leading order evolution of the orbit's Carter constant, which is linear in the spin. Our result, when combined with an interaction quadratic in the spin (the coupling of the black hole's spin to its own radiation reaction field), gives the next to leading order evolution. The effect of the quadrupole, like that of the linear spin term, is to circularize eccentric orbits and to drive the orbital plane towards antialignment with the symmetry axis. In addition we consider a system of two point masses where one body has a single mass multipole or current multipole. To linear order in the mass ratio, to linear order in the multipole, and to the leading post-Newtonian order, we show that there does not exist an analog of the Carter constant for such a system (except for the cases of spin and mass quadrupole). With mild additional assumptions, this result falsifies the conjecture that all vacuum, axisymmetric spacetimes posess a third constant of geodesic motion.
