description: The Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) aims to develop much needed water storage along the Front Range of Colorado. A primary component of this effort is the construction of Glade Reservoir, which has a proposed capacity of 170,000 acre-feet and an estimated annual yield of 40,000 acre-feet. Water allocation in Colorado is governed by the Doctrine of Prior Appropriation, which requires that all historical water users receive their decreed streamflow water right before any water can be diverted by new water users. NISP intends to fill Glade Reservoir with excess streamflows from the Cache la Poudre River, which refers to streamflow that has not yet been allocated to senior water users. The MODSIM River Basin Management Decision Support System developed at Colorado State University is applied to simulating the filling of Glade Reservoir using historic streamflow and diversion data for the past 50 years to determine if this project is capable of required water deliveries of the project for satisfying the projected demand. Several additional simulations were executed in MODSIM in which the reservoir size and annual yield were altered in order to provide decision-makers with additional options regarding the construction of this storage project.

description: We investigate a model of interacting dark matter and dark energy given by a modified holographic Ricci cutoff in a spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) space-time. We consider a nonlinear interaction consisting of a significant rational function of the total energy density and its first derivative homogeneous of degree one and show that the effective one-fluid obeys the equation of state of a relaxed Chaplygin gas. So that, the universe is dominated by pressureless dark matter at early times and undergoes an accelerated expansion in the far future driven by a strong negative pressure. We apply the $χ^{2}$-statistical method to the observational Hubble data and the Union2 compilation of SNe Ia for constraining the cosmological parameters and analyze the feasibility of the modified holographic Ricci cutoff. By using the new $Om$ diagnostic method, we find that the effective model differs substantially from the $Λ$--CDM one, because it gets the accelerated expansion faster than the $Λ$--CDM model. Finally, a new model with a third component decoupled from the interacting dark sector is presented for studying bounds on the dark energy at early times.

Chiral Particle Decay of Heavy-Light Mesons in a Relativistic Potential Model

description: Partial decay widths of the heavy-light mesons, $D, D_s, B,$ and $B_s$, emitting one chiral particle ($π$ or $K$) are evaluated in the framework of a relativistic potential model. Decay amplitudes are calculated by keeping the Lorentz invariance as far as possible and use has been made of the Lorentz-boosted relativistic wave functions of the heavy-light mesons. One of predictions of our calculation is very narrow widths of a few keV for yet undsicovered $B_s(0^+, 1^+)$ mesons corresponding to ${^{2S+1}L_J}={^3P_0}$ and $"{^3P_1}"$ assuming their masses to be 5617 and 5682 MeV, respectively, as calculated in our former paper. In the course of our calculation, new sum rules are discovered on the decay widths in the limit of $m_Q\to \infty$. Among these rules, $ Γ(D_{s0}^*(2317)\to D_s+π)=Γ(D_{s1}(2460)\to D_s^*+π) $ and $ Γ(B_{s0}^*(5615)\to B_s+π)=Γ(B_{s1}(5679)\to B_s^*+π) $ are predicted to hold with a good accuracy.

description: We study the simulation of a single qubit rotation and Controlled-Not gate in a solid state one-dimensional chain of nuclear spins system interacting weakly through an Ising type of interaction with a modular component of the magnetic field in the z-direction, characterized by $B_z(z,t)=Bo(z)\cosδt$. These qubits are subjected to electromagnetic pulses which determine the transition in the one or two qubits system. We use the fidelity parameter to determine the performance of the Not (N) gate and Controlled-Not (CNOT) gate as a function of the frequency parameter $δ$. We found that for $|δ|\le 10^{-3} MHz$, these gates still have good fidelity.

Fluctuations of Current in Non-Stationary Diffusive Lattice Gases

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We employ the macroscopic fluctuation theory to study fluctuations of integrated current in one-dimensional lattice gases with a step-like initial density profile. We analytically determine the variance of the current fluctuations for a class of diffusive processes with a density-independent diffusion coefficient, but otherwise arbitrary. Our calculations rely on a perturbation theory around the noiseless hydrodynamic solution. We consider both quenched and annealed types of averaging (the initial condition is allowed to fluctuate in the latter situation). The general results for the variance are specialized to a few interesting models including the symmetric exclusion process and the Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti model. We also probe large deviations of the current for the symmetric exclusion process. This is done by numerically solving the governing equations of the macroscopic fluctuation theory using an efficient iteration algorithm.

description: We extend the ModeCode software of Mortonson, Peiris and Easther to enable numerical computation of perturbations in K-inflation models, where the scalar field no longer has a canonical kinetic term. Focussing on models where the kinetic and potential terms can be separated into a sum, we compute slow-roll predictions for various models and use these to verify the numerical code. A Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis is then used to impose constraints from WMAP7 data on the addition of a term quadratic in the kinetic energy to the Lagrangian of simple chaotic inflation models. For a quadratic potential, the data do not discriminate against addition of such a term, while for a quartic (λϕ^4) potential inclusion of such a term is actually favoured. Overall, constraints on such a term from present data are found to be extremely weak.

description: Drought characterization is an important step in water resources systems planning and management. The assessment of extreme drought events may help decision makers to set effective drought mitigation tools. Drought events can be objectively identified by three main characteristics, namely: drought duration, accumulated deficit and drought intensity. In this paper the joint cumulative distribution functions (cdf's) of accumulated deficit and duration and of intensity and duration are derived as functions of the stochastic characteristics of the underlying variable, which is assumed to be either normal, lognormal, or gamma distributed. The derived cdf's are then applied to determine the return period of critical droughts by considering jointly two drought characteristics, e.g. droughts with accumulated deficit and duration greater than or equal to some fixed values. The methodology has been tested and applied using numerical simulations and records of annual precipitation series. The results of such applications show a good correspondence between the observed and the analytical results.

A tilted interference filter in a converging beam

description: Context. Narrow-band interference filters can be tuned toward shorter wavelengths by tilting them from the perpendicular to the optical axis. This can be used as a cheap alternative to real tunable filters, such as Fabry-Pérot interferometers and Lyot filters. At the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope, such a setup is used to scan through the blue wing of the Ca II H line. Because the filter is mounted in a converging beam, the incident angle varies over the pupil, which causes a variation of the transmission over the pupil, different for each wavelength within the passband. This causes broadening of the filter transmission profile and degradation of the image quality. Aims. We want to characterize the properties of our filter, at normal incidence as well as at different tilt angles. Knowing the broadened profile is important for the interpretation of the solar images. Compensating the images for the degrading effects will improve the resolution and remove one source of image contrast degradation. In particular, we need to solve the latter problem for images that are also compensated for blurring caused by atmospheric turbulence. Methods. We simulate the process of image formation through a tilted interference filter in order to understand the effects. We test the hypothesis that they are separable from the effects of wavefront aberrations for the purpose of image deconvolution. We measure the filter transmission profile and the degrading PSF from calibration data. Results. We find that the filter transmission profile differs significantly from the specifications.We demonstrate how to compensate for the image-degrading effects. Because the filter tilt effects indeed appear to be separable from wavefront aberrations in a useful way, this can be done in a final deconvolution, after standard image restoration with MFBD/Phase Diversity based methods. We illustrate the technique with real data.

description: Glial proliferation and activation are associated with disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar dementia. In this study, we describe a unique platform to address the question of cell autonomy in transactive response DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) proteinopathies. We generated functional astroglia from human induced pluripotent stem cells carrying an ALS-causing TDP-43 mutation and show that mutant astrocytes exhibit increased levels of TDP-43, subcellular mislocalization of TDP-43, and decreased cell survival. We then performed coculture experiments to evaluate the effects of M337V astrocytes on the survival of wild-type and M337V TDP-43 motor neurons, showing that mutant TDP-43 astrocytes do not adversely affect survival of cocultured neurons. These observations reveal a significant and previously unrecognized glial cell-autonomous pathological phenotype associated with a pathogenic mutation in TDP-43 and show that TDP-43 proteinopathies do not display an astrocyte non-cell-autonomous component in cell culture, as previously described for SOD1 ALS. This study highlights the utility of induced pluripotent stem cell-based in vitro disease models to investigate mechanisms of disease in ALS and other TDP-43 proteinopathies.

description: Unraveling the normal physiologic role of β-amyloid is likely crucial to understanding the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. However, progress on this question is currently limited by the high background of many ELISAs for murine β-amyloid. Here, we examine the background signal of several murine β-amyloid ELISAs, and conclude that the majority of the background is from non-APP derived proteins. Most importantly, we identify ELISAs that eliminate this background signal.

description: This report focuses on the effects farm demographics, specifically farm succession, have on farm structural change, specifically the presence of a successor. It will do so using a mixed methods approach to first understand the demographic change in two European farming regions, the Altmark (Germany) and Flanders (Belgium) with focus groups. Based on information from the focus groups and empirical data, we simulate two scenarios in each region using the agent-based model the Agricultural Policy Simulator (AgriPoliS). The scenarios use the demographics extension, which allows the calibration of the model region’s farmer age and succession demographics, detailed in SURE-Farm Deliverable 3.4. One scenario is calibrated to empirical data with an EU-based estimation of successor likelihood, and the other which simulates 100% successor likelihood. The simulations are then analyzed with various farm structure indicators to see what effect farm demographics have on farm structures.

description: The multi-genre Persian text Chachnama, written in Uch in 1226, represents a unique formulation of a possible future for a Muslim polity at the frontier and under immense duress. In its explicit linkage of a Muslim with a local pre-Islamic past within the site and milieu of its production, the Chachnama presents the beginnings of a new political theology. Long understood as a translation of an earlier text, it is instead a specifically imagined text that found political and romantic resonance in the histories of Uch and Sindh through the centuries. This article provides a close reading of the text to elucidate the ways in which it participates in varied genres and the socio-political claims it makes on historiography. It further traces the historiography surrounding the text and highlights the ways in which classificatory schema (such as genre) operate on analytical understandings of narratives.

description: Relativistic jets carry energy and particles from compact to very large scales compared with their initial radius. This is possible due to their remarkable collimation despite their intrinsic unstable nature. In this contribution, I review the state-of-the-art of our knowledge on instabilities growing in those jets and several stabilising mechanisms that may give an answer to the question of the stability of jets. In particular, during the last years we have learned that the limit imposed by the speed of light sets a maximum amplitude to the instabilities, contrary to the case of classical jets. On top of this stabilising mechanism, the fast growth of unstable modes with small wavelengths prevents the total disruption and entrainment of jets. I also review several non-linear processes that can have an effect on the collimation of extragalactic and microquasar jets. Within those, I remark possible causes for the decollimation and decelleration of FRI jets, as opposed to the collimated FRII's. Finally, I give a summary of the main reasons why jets can propagate through such long distances.

description: With a 12-parameter Hylleraas-type wave function containing only positive powers, a new calculation has been carried out for the 2³S state of helium by the Ritz variational principle. The energy was minimized by a descent process. A nonrelativistic energy of -1.0876088 Hylleraas units was reached as compared with the best previously published value of -1.0876015 Hylleraas units from a 6-parameter function. When masspolarization and a2Ry corrections are included, the 12-parameter function gives an ionization potential 2.52 cm-1 less than the experimental value of 38 454.64 cm-1.

description: We present a fast algorithm to calculate Coulomb/exchange integrals of prolate spheroidal electronic orbitals, which are the exact solutions of the single-electron, two-center Schrödinger equation for diatomic molecules. Our approach employs Neumann's expansion of the Coulomb repulsion 1/|x-y|, solves the resulting integrals symbolically in closed form and subsequently performs a numeric Taylor expansion for efficiency. Thanks to the general form of the integrals, the obtained coefficients are independent of the particular wavefunctions and can thus be reused later. Key features of our algorithm include complete avoidance of numeric integration, drafting of the individual steps as fast matrix operations and high accuracy due to the exponential convergence of the expansions. Application to the diatomic molecules O2 and CO exemplifies the developed methods, which can be relevant for a quantitative understanding of chemical bonds in general.

description: We introduce a class of new iteration functions which are ratios of polynomials of the same degree and hence defined at infinity. The poles of these rational functions occur at points which cause no difficulty. The classical iteration functions are given as explicit functions of P and its derivatives. The new iteration functions are constructed according to a certain algorithm. This construction requires only simple polynomial manipulation which may be performed on a computer. We shall treat here only the important case that the zeros of P are distinct and that the dominant zero is real. The extension to multiple zeros, dominant complex zeros, and sub-dominant zeros will be given in another paper. We shall restrict ourselves to questions relevant to the calculation of zeros. Certain aspects of our investigations which are of broader interest will be reported elsewhere.

description: Two different techniques are evaluated in this study to estimate soil salinity in the lower Arkansas River Valley area in Colorado for both the sub-basin and field scales. Inverse Distance Weight (IDW) and Ordinary Kriging (OK) are evaluated as deterministic and geostatistical techniques respectively. Deterministic techniques depend on the assumption that the interpolating surface should be influenced mostly by the nearby points and less by the more distant points. Kriging techniques rely on the notion of autocorrelation and assume the data comes from a stationary stochastic process. The objectives of this study are: 1) compare the performance of the deterministic versus the geostatistical kriging techniques on the sub-basin and the field scales; 2) evaluate the effect of sampling density on the accuracy of both the deterministic and the geostatistical kriging techniques; 3) evaluate the effect of sampling distribution on both techniques; and 4) evaluate the effect of the existence of autocorrelation among data for both techniques. Different data sets for both field scale and sub-basin scale were collected in the study area where soil salinity impacts the crop productivity. Several data sets collected at the field scale and the sub-basin scale in the downstream area were evaluated. These data sets represent different sampling densities and spacing, different data distributions, and different amount of autocorrelation among the data. The results of this study indicate that there is no significant difference in the performance of both deterministic and geostatistical techniques at the field scale. However, the performance of the deterministic technique was significantly better than the geostatistical technique for the sub-basin scale (due to the lack of autocorrelation at this scale). The data distribution has no significant role on the performance of both techniques.
A Three-State Algorithm for Real Polynomials Using Quadratic Iteration

description: We introduce a new three-stage process for calculating the zeros of a polynomial with real coefficients. The algorithm finds either a linear or quadratic factor, working completely in real arithmetic. In the third stage the algorithm uses one of two variable-shift iterations corresponding to the linear or quadratic case. The iteration for a linear factor is a real arithmetic version of the third stage of the algorithm for complex polynomials which we studied in an earlier paper. A new variable-shift iteration is introduced in this paper which is suitable for quadratic factors. If the complex algorithm and the new real algorithm are applied to the same real polynomial, then the real algorithm is about four times as fast. We prove that the mathematical algorithm always converges and show that the rate of convergence of the third stage is faster than second order. The problem and algorithm may be recast into matrix form. The third stage is a quadratic form of shifted inverse powering and a quadratic form of generalized Rayleigh iteration. The results of extensive testing are summarized. For an ALGOL W program run on an IBM 360/67 we found that for polynomials ranging in degree from 20 to 50, the time required to calculate all zeros averaged 2n² milliseconds. An ALGOL 60 implementation of the algorithm and a program which calculates a posteriors bounds on the zeros may be found in Jenkins’ 1969 Stanford dissertation.
Fragile Black Holes and an Angular Momentum Cutoff in Peripheral Heavy Ion Collisions

description: In collisions of heavy ions at extremely high energies, it is possible for a significant quantity of angular momentum to be deposited into the Quark-Gluon Plasma which is thought to be produced. We develop a simple geometric model of such a system, and show that it is dual, in the AdS/CFT sense, to a rotating AdS black hole with a topologically planar event horizon. However, when this black hole is embedded in string theory, it proves to be unstable, for all non-zero angular momenta, to a certain non-perturbative effect: the familiar planar black hole, as used in most AdS/CFT analyses of QGP physics, is "fragile". The upshot is that the AdS/CFT duality apparently predicts that the QGP should always become unstable when it is produced in peripheral collisions. However, we argue that holography indicates that relatively low angular momenta delay the development of the instability, so that in practice it may be observable only for peripheral collisions involving favourable impact parameters, generating extremely large angular momenta. The result may be holographic prediction of a cutoff for the observable angular momenta of the QGP, or perhaps of an analogous phenomenon in condensed matter physics.

Deconfinement of gauge theories at high temperature
Creators: name: Yeh, Huai-Che
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: To derive the phase transition of large N gauge theories, the calculation of the partition function is restricted to the singlet sector. In this thesis, we examined whether the singlet constraint of gauge theory at the deconfinement phase was a physical consequence. We found changing the integration variables from group elements to eigenvalues explains the discrepancy of the free energy between imposing and relaxing the single constraint. Gauge theory cannot simply relax the singlet constraint at high temperature without adding a normalization factor.

Did Augustine’s Christology Depend on Theodore of Mopsuestia?

description: There has been considerable controversy over Augustine’s Christology throughout this century, concerning the attribution of sources, and whether he ought to be characterized as Antiochene or Alexandrian in his general approach - that is, whether he prefers a dynamic grace-centred model of the Christological union, such as that of Theodore and Nestorius, or whether he envisages a more substantial root of the union such as that argued by the language of hypostatic union of Cyril and Chalcedon. This article will review some aspects of that issue and attempt to elaborate a perspective from which to approach his Christology. It is not intended here to expose the whole complex range of Augustine’s doctrine of Christ; it will be enough to point out significant areas of its development. Several excellent studies have already treated this dimension,’ although Augustine’s far-ranging complexity on this subject, as on most, makes the issue a wonderful research ground for further work. Even the casual reader of Augustine on this subject realizes just how much his emphasis on the redemptive humility of Christ provided the spur and context of Barth’s monumental Christology. Moreover, Augustine’s special emphasis on an ecclesiological Christology (the lotus Christus approach in which he joins in a symbiosis his thoughts on the person of Christ and the destiny of the saints of Christ who are his body) makes him stand apart in the lists of the patristic giants, a brilliant interpreter of the later Pauline Christology.
