description: We have discovered an extended Lyman alpha plume associated with a compact source at redshift 5.4 in slitless spectroscopic data from the Grism ACS Program for Extragalactic Science (GRAPES) project. The spatial extent of the emission is about 6 x 1.5 kpc (1 x 0.25 arcsec). Combining our grism data and the broadband images from the Hubble UltraDeep Field (UDF) images, we find a Lyman alpha line flux of 2e-17 erg/cm2/s and surface brightness 7e-17 erg/cm2/s/arcsec2. The UDF images show diffuse continuum emission associated with the Lyman alpha plume (hereafter UDF 5225), with three embedded knots. The morphology of UDF 5225 is highly suggestive of a galaxy in assembly. It is moreover possible that the prominent Lyman alpha emission from this object is due to an active nucleus, and that we are seeing the simultaneous growth through accretion of a galaxy and its central black hole. Followup observations at higher spectral resolution could test this hypothesis.

description: The purpose of this research report is to summarize the pricing performance of professional market advisory services for the 1995-2004 corn and soybean crops. On average, the results show that the frequency of advisory programs pricing in the top-third of the corn price range over 1995-2004 is modest, between 17 and 25%. By far the largest average frequency occurs in the middle third of the corn price range, ranging from 58 to 63%. Price range results for soybeans are similar to the results for corn. Average differences between 50/50 advisory revenue and benchmarks range from 5 to $7 per acre for market benchmarks and 8 to $12 per acre for farmer benchmarks. The average advisory return relative to the farmer benchmarks is about three percent of average farmer benchmark revenue. Even though this return is small and mainly from corn, it nonetheless represents a non-trivial increase in net farm income per acre for grain farms in central Illinois. The AgMAS research report by Irwin et al. (2006) contains complete pricing performance results. In particular, additional results show that consideration of risk weakens performance results in some cases and that it is difficult to predict the pricing performance of advisory programs based on past performance.

description: We report on a large scale numerical study of networks of semilocal cosmic strings in flat space in the parameter regime in which they are perturbatively stable. We find a population of segments with an exponential length distribution and indications of a scaling network without significant loop formation. Very deep in the stability regime strings of superhorizon size grow rapidly and ``percolate'' through the box. We believe these should lead at late times to a population of infinite strings similar to topologically stable strings. However, the strings are very light; scalar gradients dominate the energy density and the network has thus a global texture-like signature. As a result, the observational constraints, at least from the temperature power spectrum of the CMB, on models predicting semilocal strings, should be closer to those on global textures or monopoles, rather than on topologically stable gauged cosmic strings.

description: In the R$\_{3}$Ga$\_{5}$SiO$\_{14}$ compounds, the network R of rare earth cations form well separated planes of corner sharing triangles topologically equivalent to a kagomé lattice. Powder samples and single crystals with R = Nd and Pr were prepared and magnetostatic measurements were performed under magnetic field up to 10 T in the temperature range from 1.6 K to 400 K. Analysis of the magnetic susceptibility at the high temperatures where only the quadrupolar term of the crystal electric field prevails, suggests that the Nd and Pr magnetic moments can be modeled as coplanar elliptic rotators perpendicular to the three fold axis of the crystal structure that interact antiferromagnetically. Nonetheless, a disordered phase that can be ascribed to geometric frustration persists down to the lowest temperature which is about 25 times smaller than the energy scale for the exchange interactions.

The Icon as the Revelation of Eternity in Time
Creators: name: Di Giacomo, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2018

description: The essay proposes a notion of “icon” understood, according to the paradigm born of the Second Council of Nicaea (787 AD), as a visible image of the invisible qua invisible. In this light, the distinctive feature of the icon-image is its ability to manifest the paradoxical identity-difference relationship that links visible and invisible, and, consequently, representable and unrepresentable, immanence and transcendence, eternity and time. By offering itself as the privileged place for the presentation of an absence and of a “withdrawal” (the withdrawal of the invisible from the visible through the visible), the icon is distinguished in the first place by its apophatic and kenotic character. In this sense, the salient trait of the icon is its constitutive disquiet: it is founded on the “relational economy” of the image, which implies the need of an incessant articulation of the relation between visible and invisible. We can thus see in the icon the paradigm itself of “great art”: indeed, like the icon, great art is always primarily characterised by its disquiet, that is its ability to make transcendence appear in immanence, the Other of the visible appear in the visible.

description: We study strong decays of the possible fully-charm tetraquarks recently observed by LHCb, and calculate their relative branching ratios through the Fierz rearrangement. Together with our previous QCD sum rule study [Phys. Lett. B 773, 247 (2017)], our results suggest that the broad structure around $6.2$-$6.8$ GeV can be interpreted as an $S$-wave $cc\bar c \bar c$ tetraquark state with $J^{PC} = 0^{++}$ or $2^{++}$, and the narrow structure around 6.9 GeV can be interpreted as a $P$-wave one with $J^{PC} = 0^{-+}$ or $1^{-+}$. These structures were observed in the di-$J/ψ$ invariant mass spectrum, and we propose to confirm them in the di-$η_c$, $J/ψh_c$, $η_c χ_{c0}$, and $η_c χ_{c1}$ channels. We also propose to search for their partner states having the negative charge-conjugation parity in the $J/ψη_c$, $J/ψχ_{c0}$, $J/ψχ_{c1}$, and $η_c h_c$ channels.

Subjects: subject: relational financing

description: This paper shows that, in the aftermath of the 1995 banking crisis, relational financing was a two-edged sword for firms listed on the Mexican Securities Market. On the negative side, only bank-linked firms observed on average a dependence on cash stock to finance their investment projects. On the positive side, the banking connection was important to boost their profit rates during the 1997-2000 period, at least for financially healthy firms. These econometric results are derived from dynamic panel data models of investment and profit rates, which are estimated by the Generalized Method of Moments, where level and difference equations are combined into a system.

description: Quantum entanglement lies at the heart of quantum mechanics in both fundamental and practical aspects. The entanglement of quantum states has been studied widely, however, the entanglement of operators has not been studied much in spite of its importance. Here, we propose a scheme to realize arbitrary entangled operations based on a coherent superposition of local operations. Then, we experimentally implement several intriguing two-qubit entangled operations in photonic systems. We also discuss the generalization of our scheme to extend the number of superposed operations and the number of qubits. Due to the simplicity of our scheme, we believe that it can reduce the complexity or required resources of the quantum circuits and provide insights to investigate properties of entangled operations.

Avicenna on Beauty

Year: 2018

description: The purpose of this paper is to study the philosophy of Avicenna (980-1073), in order to identify his thoughts and reflections regarding aesthetics. We will try to analyze several texts in which he treated the notion of beauty. This analysis will allow us to compare the aesthetics of Avicenna with its main origins, namely Aristotelianism and Neoplatonism. Then, the detailed presentation of his aesthetic reflections will show us that his contributions to subjects relating to beauty, perfection, and aesthetic delight bear some originality which, despite the determining influence of Neoplatonism, has its own independent voice. The latter is the case, since these originalities are the results of a hybridization of two great philosophical schools, namely Aristotelianism and Neoplatonism.

Rappresentazione naturale e simbolica in Tommaso d’Aquino. Alcune note

Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico

description: Talking of “medieval aesthetics” is historiographically disputable. During the Middle Ages, in fact, there is no discipline comparable with the aesthetics as from the eighteenth century we know it. In the medieval period, aesthetic considerations mostly occur in spurious contexts, and are all, so to say, pre-theoretical. They refer to different insights on what is the beautiful (pulchrum) and what relationship holds between the beauty (pulchritudo) and its artistic expression. In the Middle Ages, that is, one can frequently encounters forms we would nowadays call of descriptive aesthetics, occasionally forms of normative aesthetics, rather sporadically meta-aesthetic considerations. Not even a privileged attention is reserved to aesthetics understood as the description of the conditions of pleasure that follow from the perception of the beautiful, despite the theme of dilectum is important in the aesthetic meditations of medieval masters. Aesthetic discussions predominantly concern the relationships between the artist, an object and its representation (especially pictorial). In this essay, I reconsider these relationships by discussing a key point of Thomas Aquinas’s reflection on the beauty: the role played by of the notion of representation in the explanation of the artistic process.

Deifying Beauty. Toward the Definition of a Paradigm for Byzantine Aesthetics

Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2018

description: Moving from the problem of defining how medieval speculation conceived the aesthetic dimension of art, this essay purposes an insight into the aspects that describe the peculiarity of the Byzantine conception of beauty and art. Surpassing the noetic perspective established by Platonic thought – shared also by Western medieval philosophy – according to which beauty is an intelligible model subsisting in itself as an autonomous entity, the Byzantine proper vision conceives beauty as a divine energy. The implications of this perspective lead us to investigate its connection with some of the most original achievements of Byzantine speculation, such as hypostatic ontology, theology of deification, eikonic thinking, and especially sophianic gnoseology, which permit us to overcome the dichotomy of the intelligible and the sensible domains of reality.

Specifically, we derive a Boltzmann equation for a jammed granular system and show that the Boltzmann's analysis can be used to produce a ``Second Law'', $\dot{S}\ge 0$ for jammed systems. We highlight the fundamental questions in this area of physics and point to the key quantities in characterising a packing of particles, accessible through a novel experimentation method which we also present here.

Year: 2018

description: Through some pages of Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas we see some medieval solutions to the platonic drama of a beauty defined by numbers and measures, however with suprasensible roots: how can we say beautiful what cannot be measured? If Beauty is Harmony and Proportion, consequently how can it derive from a suprasensible beauty? How will it be possible to express aesthetic judgments that go beyond measurement? The medieval answers to these questions are far beyond the postmodern uncertainties, maintaining paradoxes.

Az innovációs tevékenységek ellenőrzésekor mérlegelendők azok hatása a termékszolgáltatás minőségre (igen/nem) és a mennyiségre (összeg/kiadások) egyaránt. Következésképpen az innovációs kiadásokra vonatkozó ellenőrző kérdésekre nagyon nehéz válaszolni, mivel a cégek számos tevékenységük pénzügyi adatáról nem vezetnek nyilvántartást. Tekintettel erre, több innovációs felmérés bizonyos meghatározott kiadásokra korlátozta kérdéseit, olyanokra, amelyek más cégekkel kapcsolatosak (benchmark jelleggel), és amelyek pénzügyi adatokat szolgáltatnak: intra- és extramural K+F, gépek, berendezések, felszerelések, tőkeáruk, és külső tudás megszerzése.
description: Knowledge and its creation, utilisation and diffusion, company growth and business development are all centres to the question of innovation from a theoretical perspective to create unity within a company, and to create a better measure and control system for innovation. Within the control system for innovational activities, the effects of the innovative activities on services and products have to be calculated both qualitatively (yes/no) and quantitatively (total/expenses). Control questions on the expenses of innovation are hard to answer, because many of the companies do not include numerous of their activities in their accounting file. Therefore many of the surveys on innovation were limited to certain expenses; expenses related to other companies (with benchmark type) and expenses that provide financial information on intramural, extramural, R+D, machinery, equipment, asset product and the acquisition of external knowledge.

Stellar Mass Black Hole Binaries as ULXs

description: Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) with Lx > 10^{39} ergs/s have been discovered in great numbers in external galaxies with ROSAT, Chandra, and XMM. The central question regarding this important class of sources is whether they represent an extension in the luminosity function of binary X-ray sources containing neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes (BHs), or a new class of objects, e.g., systems containing intermediate-mass black holes (100-1000 Msun). We have carried out a theoretical study to test whether a large fraction of the ULXs, especially those in galaxies with recent star formation activity, can be explained with binary systems containing stellar-mass black holes. To this end, we have applied a unique set of binary evolution models for black-hole X-ray binaries, coupled to a binary population synthesis code, to model the ULXs observed in external galaxies. We find that for donor stars with initial masses >10 Msun the mass transfer driven by the normal nuclear evolution of the donor star is sufficient to potentially power most ULXs. This is the case during core hydrogen burning and, to an even more pronounced degree, while the donor star ascends the giant branch, though the latter phases lasts only ~5% of the main sequence phase. We show that with only a modest violation of the Eddington limit, e.g., a factor of ~10, both the numbers and properties of the majority of the ULXs can be reproduced. One of our conclusions is that if stellar-mass black-hole binaries account for a significant fraction of ULXs in star-forming galaxies, then the rate of formation of such systems is ~3 x 10^{-7} per year normalized to a core-collapse supernova rate of 0.01 per year.

description: Watching others play is a key ingredient of digital games and an important aspect of games user research. However, spectatorship is not very popular in virtual reality, as such games strongly rely on one's feelings of presence. In other words, the head-mounted display creates a barrier between the player and the audience. We contribute an alternative watching approach consisting of two major components: a dynamic view frustum that renders the game scene from the current spectator position and a one-way mirror in front of the screen. This mirror, together with our silhouetting algorithm, allows seeing the player's reflection at the correct position in the virtual world. An exploratory survey emphasizes the overall positive experience of the viewers in our setup. In particular, the participants enjoyed their ability to explore the virtual surrounding via physical repositioning and to observe the blended player during object manipulations. Apart from requesting a larger screen, the participants expressed a strong need to interact with the player. Consequently, we suggest utilizing our technology as a foundation for novel playful experiences with the overarching goal to transform the passive spectator into a collocated player.

Baroque Sherlock: Benjamin’s friendship between «criminal and detective» in its fore- and afterlife
Creators: name: Barale, Alice
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2017

description: The starting point of this paper is a statement that Benjamin makes in a group of notes he writes for his project of a detective novel (1933). Benjamin writes here that «criminal and detective could be so friends [so befreundet sein] as Sherlock Holmes and Watson». We’ll try to understand the meaning of this statement through the investigation of the detective topic in two moments of its fore and afterlife: its fore life in Benjamin’s meditation on the baroque (why it is so will be apparent shortly) and its after life in Sherlock Holmes’s most recent apparition, in the BBC series Sherlock. One of the most interesting elements of this series is in fact the relationship – which is barely sketched in Conan Doyle’s stories – between Sherlock Holmes and his antagonist, the maths professor Jim Moriarty. We’ll see that in Benjamin’s notes for a detective novel the criminal is not a maths professor but a psychoanalyst. What is the difference, anyway, between professor Moriarty’s knowledge and Sherlock’s knowledge? In fact, we will find out that criminal and detective are closer to one other (more «befreundet») than what we may be induced to think – close but not coincident.

title: Mathematical modelling of liquid transport in porous materials at low levels of saturation
Creators: name: Sirimark, Penpark
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: Persistent (low volatility) liquids can disseminate significantly in porous substrates and wet large volumes before they are removed by evaporation or chemical processes. The liquid saturation during this kind of dissemination process quickly reaches very low levels, well below 10% of the available void space, and the liquid dispersion enters a special regime of spreading, when the transport predominantly occurs over surface elements of the porous matrix. On the ’macroscopic’ level, this phenomenon can be described by a special super-fast non-linear diffusion model. But, the model requires the knowledge of permeability coefficients defined by ’microscopic’ mechanisms. The focus of this study is on the mathematical problems associated with the ’microscopic’ level, that is on the details of the surface diffusion processes to obtain accurate definitions of the ’macroscopic’ parameters. We consider two kinds of porous structures with representative properties, paper-like and particulate porous materials, and as a result, two different model approaches, a network model and a surface diffusion model based on the Laplace-Beltrami operator and on the associated LaplaceBeltrami boundary value problems. We demonstrate their feasibility by applying numerical methods, specifically, surface finite elements techniques. We will show, in the Thesis, that the network model is capable of accurately reproducing macroscopic descriptions of the fibrous material, while at the same time providing necessary permeability coefficients of the porous network with minimal assumptions. In the case of particulate porous media, we will demonstrate that, solutions to the Laplace-Beltrami boundary value problem can be used to obtain surface permeability of both single porous matrix elements and their interconnected compositions. We will also demonstrate, for the first time, how effects of tortuosity of the surface flow can be easily obtained while analysing solutions of the Laplace-Beltrami boundary value problem set in the multiply-connected domains formed by mutually coupled particles. Overall, results of this study will improve our understanding of microscopic dispersion processes central to applications of macroscopic descriptions formulated at low saturation levels. Numerical studies of the Laplace-Beltrami boundary value problem using the surface finite element method are interesting on their own, since they demonstrate that similar convergence rates (using relatively standard surface element settings) can be achieved in the domains with smooth boundaries to those regularly observed in the problems without domain boundaries. Therefore, due to the fundamental advances achieved in the study, the macroscopic descriptions used in practice at low saturation levels obtained rigorous foundation and practical recipes, which can be directly used in applications.

We show, that any perturbation to the population can be broken into a collection of modes each of which decay exponentially with its respective time constant. The long time behaviour of population is therefore likely to be dominated by the modes with the largest time constants. We confirm our analytical approach with simulation data.

description: Following the rent free land use by large-scale farms under the communist regime, it was hoped that the restoration of private ownership of land and land-auctions would revive the land market and that the market would establish real land prices and farm rents in Central and Eastern Europe. In the majority of the former socialist countries of Central Europe the primary land privatization method was restitution to pre-war owners. In Hungary, a mixture of (i) restitution, (ii) division of cooperatively farmed land among cooperatives’ workers and the (iii) sale of land to individuals were applied in land privatization. In lack of a well-functioning land market and realistic land prices (i.e. prices set by the marketable values of a given parcel), prohibition of land ownership by foreigners was a matter of political compromise and that of public opinion. Our study was aimed at identifying key factors determining land ownership patterns with the ban on foreign land purchase in focus. After revealing the stakeholders’ attitude to this prohibition through qualitative interviews, we draw our conclusions concentrating on possible and adequate solutions that are meant to satisfy both domestic and foreign stakeholders.
Problems with Musical Signification: Following the Rules and Grasping Mental States

description: The reflections on music are crucial in the philosophy of language and the mind of the second Wittgenstein. These reflections go around the comparisons Wittgenstein did between meaning and understanding language, and meaning and understanding music. Musical passages show a language as independent from reality, i.e. objects, events or mental states, centered instead in intonations, conclusions, parenthesis, confirmations, questions and answers, a phenomenon enough studied in musicology. Two interpretations on the signification of musical meaning are analyzed: Ahonen’s formalist view [2005], based in the following of rules, and Scruton’s expressive view [2004], based on the comparison between the intuitive recognition of a mental state “hidden” behind the facial expressions. As a conclusion we arrive to a mixed argument: Either of the alternatives whether annulling the other, are possibly telling about Wittgenstein’s conception but do not elucidate the problem itself.

Ecsp : an efficient clustered super-peer architecture for P2P networks

description: Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing has become increasingly popular in recent years. It offers many attractive features, such as self-organization, load-balancing, availability, fault tolerance, and anonymity. However, it also faces some serious challenges. In this thesis, we propose an Efficient Clustered Super-Peer P2P architecture (ECSP) to overcome the scalability and efficiency problems of existing unstructured P2P systems, using a semi-centralized hierarchical structure: With ECSP, peers are grouped into clusters according to their topological proximity, and super-peers are selected from regular peers to act as cluster leaders and service providers. These super-peers are also connected to each other, forming a backbone overlay network operating as a distinct, yet integrated, application. To maintain the dynamically adaptive overlay network and to manage the routing on it, we propose an application level broadcasting protocol: Efa. Applying only a small amount of information about the topology of a network, Efa is as simple as flooding, a conventional method used in unstructured P2P systems. By eliminating many duplicated messages, Efa is much more efficient and scalable than flooding, and furthermore, it is completely decentralized and self-organized. Our experimental results prove that ESCP architecture, combined with the super-peer backbone protocol, can generate impressive levels of performance and scalability.
Improvideo. Etica e estetica dell’improvvisazione coreutica

description: While all human agency unfolds with a certain degree of improvisation, there are specific cultural practices in which improvisation plays an even more relevant role. Argentine tango is one of them. If tango is the chosen field of reference, I do not attempt to sing the praises of the form, but rather to establish a set of categories which enable to analytically frame improvisation (understood as the capacity to produce, under the special conditions of performance, something new). My contribution, as Wittgentstein would say, has a “grammatical” design to it, proposing signposts and concepts to clarify the significance of the term “improvisation”.

description: Mapping network flows provides insight into the organization of networks, but even though many real-networks are bipartite, no method for mapping flows takes advantage of the bipartite structure. What do we miss by discarding this information and how can we use it to understand the structure of bipartite networks better? The map equation models network flows with a random walk and exploits the information-theoretic duality between compression and finding regularities to detect communities in networks. However, it does not use the fact that random walks in bipartite networks alternate between node types, information worth 1 bit. To make some or all of this information available to the map equation, we developed a coding scheme that remembers node types at different rates. We explored the community landscape of bipartite real-world networks from no node-type information to full node-type information and found that using node types at a higher rate generally leads to deeper community hierarchies and a higher resolution. The corresponding compression of network flows exceeds the amount of extra information provided. Consequently, taking advantage of the bipartite structure increases the resolution and reveals more network regularities.

description: This article analyses the mechanism behind the changes in agricultural land use arising from climate variables, agricultural policies and socio-economic pressures. The study presented here has undertaken an integrated methodology in the estimation of future land use change in Europe. The scenarios constructed in this study include estimates not only of changes in the climate baseline, but also of possible future changes in socio-economics. The overall aim of the study was to raise the awareness of policy makers about the vulnerability of the European rural economy and agro-ecosystems based on economic and environmental considerations in term of both their sensitivity and capacity to adapt to change.

description: The size of the helium trimer is determined by diffracting a beam of He-4 clusters from a 100 nm grating inclined by 21 degree. Due to the bar thickness the projected slit width is roughly halved to 27 nm, increasing the sensitivity to the trimer size. The peak intensities measured out to the 8th order are evaluated via a few-body scattering theory. The trimer pair distance is found to be 1.1+0.4/-0.5 nm in agreement with predictions for the ground state. No evidence for a significant amount of Efimov trimers is found. Their concentration is estimated to be less than 6%.

description: Self-consistent-field (SCF) approximations formulated using Hartree-Fock (HF) or Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory (KS-DFT) both have the potential to yield multiple solutions. However, the formal relationship between multiple solutions identified using HF or KS-DFT remains generally unknown. We investigate the connection between multiple SCF solutions for HF or KS-DFT by introducing a parametrised functional that scales between the two representations. Using the hydrogen molecule and a model of electron transfer, we continuously map multiple solutions from the HF potential to a KS-DFT description. We discover that multiple solutions can coalesce and vanish as the functional changes, forming a direct analogy with the disappearance of real HF solutions along a change in molecular structure. To overcome this disappearance of solutions, we develop a complex-analytic extension of DFT - the "holomorphic DFT" approach - that allows every SCF stationary state to be analytically continued across all molecular structures and exchange-correlation functionals.
What Is the Aesthetics in China?

description: It could be said that chinese aesthetics merges together three cornerstones (capisaldi) of the western tradition. It might be intended as the study of beauty in the Platonic sense, because of the vaste debate on the topic rooted back in chinese’s ancient times; it could match the sense of aesthetics as intended by Baumgarten, because of the long tradition of chinese perceptual studies, and it may also be compared to the Hegelian philosophy of art, given the abundance of chinese artistic manufacts and theories. Chinese aesthetics is distinctive and very different from the western one. While the latter tries to grasp the inner beauty of things by breaking them and accounts for beauty as an object, chinese aesthetics considers beauty as a subject, rather aiming at feeling the beauty of things for what they are. Compared to the occidental tradition, which is rooted in sensation but deviates from sensation to pursue a rational goal, chinese aesthetics originates from the sensation and adheres to it all the time. Therefore, the chinese stance makes for a unique and genuine approach to the discipline.

description: The present work reported a full-dimension quasi-classical trajectory study of the activation and deactivation processes in the collisions of N2 and H2, when one of the molecules is vibrationally excited. In the present calculations, for the first time in the scientific literature for the studied system, a wide range of high translational energies is covered. To simulate the interatomic potential energy, acting during collisions, a single-valued potential energy surface for the electronic ground state of N2H2 previously reported is used. Cross-sections and rates for activation and deactivation processes of the initial vibrationally excited molecules and cross-sections and rates for activation of the molecule that initially is in the ground vibrational state are calculated. Additionally, probabilities of rotational excitation of both molecules and an estimation of the cross-section of the possible reactions for high vibrationally excited molecules are reported. These results could improve the modelling studies of the shock waves, the low-temperature plasma, the gas flows produced around hyper sonic flying objects, and others.

description: Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) are point sources of pollution and require Clean Water Act permits. The 2003 regulations allow Large CAFOs to propose alternative performance standards (APS) that offer equivalent or better environmental performance than the baseline technology. Principal obstacles to APS success include the complexities of demonstrating superior performance, cost uncertainties for obtaining approval, CAFO risks of participation, intra-organizational barriers of permitting agencies, and potential lawsuits brought by environmental groups. Despite obstacles, APS offers potential for technology innovations and reduced environmental compliance costs.

description: We investigate the optimal tradeoff between information gained about an unknown coherent state and the state disturbance caused by the measurement process. We propose several optical schemes that can enable this task, and we implement one of them, a scheme which relies on only linear optics and homodyne detection. Experimentally we reach near optimal performance, limited only by detection inefficiencies. In addition we show that such a scheme can be used to enhance the transmission fidelity of a class of noisy channels.
