High Magnetic Field Thermal-Expansion And Magnetostriction Of Uru2si2, Victor Correa, Timothy Murphy, Eric Palm, Stanley Tozer, Peter Sharma, Neil Harrison, Jamie Marcelo, George Schmiedeshoff, John Mydosh
High Magnetic Field Thermal-Expansion And Magnetostriction Of Uru2si2, Victor Correa, Timothy Murphy, Eric Palm, Stanley Tozer, Peter Sharma, Neil Harrison, Jamie Marcelo, George Schmiedeshoff, John Mydosh
George Schmiedeshoff
We present high magnetic field (up to 45 T) thermal-expansion and magnetostriction results on URu2Si2 single crystals. The volume change associated with the transition to the ``hidden'' order phase becomes increasingly discontinous as the magnetic field is raised above 30 T. This confirms recent thermal conductivity and specific heat experiments indicating a strong coupling between the ``hidden'' order parameter and the lattice which suggest some sort of charge ordered state. Several other transitions are observed at higher fields, many of them showing hysteresis, while a change in the sign of the magnetostriction coefficient is observed at the metamagnetic transition (BM …
Characterizing Geometry, Kinematics, And Fracturing Of A Wavy Fault Surface, Arkitsa, Greece, Phillip Resor, Vanessa Meer
Characterizing Geometry, Kinematics, And Fracturing Of A Wavy Fault Surface, Arkitsa, Greece, Phillip Resor, Vanessa Meer
Phillip G Resor
The Arkitsa fault is a high angle normal fault within the Gulf of Evvia rift system of central Greece. Quarrying of hanging wall sediments has exposed a 600 m length of a wavy footwall fault surface within Triassic/Jurassic platform carbonates. This excellent exposure enables examination of fault damage zone processes up to hundred meter scale. Using a robotic reflectorless total station we create a virtual fault surface with 1-m spatial resolution and sub-cm precision that extends over a length of 250 m and a vertical height of 60 m. Zones of extreme curvature (antiforms and synforms) parallel the average slip …

Computer Skills, Gender, And Technostress In Higher Education, Sonya Shepherd
Sonya S. Gaither
The creation of computer software and hardware, telecommunications, databases, and the Internet has affected society as a whole, and particularly higher education by giving people new productivity options and changing the way they work (Hulbert, 1998). In the so-called “information age” the increasing use of technology has become the driving force in the way people work, learn, and play (Drake, 2000). As this force evolves, the people using technology change also (Nelson, 1990). Adapting to technology is not simple. Some people tend to embrace change while others resist change (Wolski & Jackson, 1999). Before making a decision on whether to …
The Tablet Pc For Faculty: A Pilot Project, Rob Weitz, Bert Wachsmuth, Danielle Mirliss
The Tablet Pc For Faculty: A Pilot Project, Rob Weitz, Bert Wachsmuth, Danielle Mirliss
Bert Wachsmuth
This paper describes a pilot project with the purpose of evaluating the usefulness of tablet PCs for university professors. The focus is on the value of tablets primarily with respect to teaching and learning (and not for research or administrative work). Sixty-four professors, distributed across the various schools of a university, were provided with tablet PCs and were trained in their use.

A History Of Political Experience, Leslie Marsh
A History Of Political Experience, Leslie Marsh
Leslie Marsh
This book survives superficial but fails deeper scrutiny. A facile, undiscerning criticism of Lectures in the History of Political Thought (LHPT) is that on Oakeshott’s own account these are lectures on a non-subject: ‘I cannot detect anything which could properly correspond to the expression “the history of political thought”’ (p. 32). This is an entirely typical Oakeshottian swipe – elegant and oblique – at the title of the lecture course he inherited from Harold Laski. If title and quotation sit awkwardly we should remember that Oakeshott never prepared the text for publication – a fortiori he did not prepare it …
Foreign Exchange Intervention By The Bank Of Japan: Bayesian Analysis Using A Bivariate Stochastic Volatility Model, Michael Smith, Andrew Pitts
Foreign Exchange Intervention By The Bank Of Japan: Bayesian Analysis Using A Bivariate Stochastic Volatility Model, Michael Smith, Andrew Pitts
Michael Stanley Smith
A bivariate stochastic volatility model is employed to measure the effect of intervention by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) on daily returns and volume in the USD/YEN foreign exchange market. Missing observations are accounted for, and a data-based Wishart prior for the precision matrix of the errors to the transition equation that is in line with the likelihood is suggested. Empirical results suggest there is strong conditional heteroskedasticity in the mean-corrected volume measure, as well as contemporaneous correlation in the errors to both the observation and transition equations. A threshold model is used for the BOJ reaction function, which is …
Collaborative Games: Lessons Learned From Board Games, Jose Zagal, Rick Jochen, Hsi Idris
Collaborative Games: Lessons Learned From Board Games, Jose Zagal, Rick Jochen, Hsi Idris
Jose P Zagal
Collaborative mechanisms are starting to become prominent in computer games, like massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs); however, by their nature, these games are difficult to investigate. Game play is often complex and the underlying mechanisms are frequently opaque. In contrast, board games are simple. Their game play is fairly constrained and their core mechanisms are transparent enough to analyze. In this article, the authors seek to understand collaborative games. Because of their simplicity, they focus on board games. The authors present an analysis of collaborative games. In particular, they focus on Reiner Knizia’s LORDOFTHERINGS, considered by many to be the …

Multivariate Expansion Associated With Sheffer-Type Polynomials And Operators, Tian-Xiao He, Leetsch Hsu, Peter Shiue
Multivariate Expansion Associated With Sheffer-Type Polynomials And Operators, Tian-Xiao He, Leetsch Hsu, Peter Shiue
Tian-Xiao He
With the aid of multivariate Sheffer-type polynomials and differential operators, this paper provides two kinds of general expansion formulas, called respectively the first expansion formula and the second expansion formula, that yield a constructive solution to the problem of the expansion of A(ˆt)f([g(t)) (a composition of any given formal power series) and the expansion of the multivariate entire functions in terms of multivariate Sheffer-type polynomials, which may be considered an application of the first expansion formula and the Sheffer-type operators. The results are applicable to combinatorics and special function theory.
High-Resolution Raman Spectra With Femtosecond Pulses: An Example Of Combined Time- And Frequency-Domain Spectroscopy, Sukhendu Nath, Diana Urbanek, Sean Kern, Mark Berg
High-Resolution Raman Spectra With Femtosecond Pulses: An Example Of Combined Time- And Frequency-Domain Spectroscopy, Sukhendu Nath, Diana Urbanek, Sean Kern, Mark Berg
Sean J. Kern
Frequency-domain spectroscopy requires long pulses, whereas time-domain spectroscopy requires short pulses. This Letter demonstrates both theoretically and experimentally that simultaneous detection in frequency and time generates well-resolved spectra using intermediate-length pulses. In the case of coherent Raman spectroscopy, typical femtosecond pulses lie between the time and frequency domains. To demonstrate this method, a high-resolution Raman spectrum of nitrobenzene is obtained from 60 fs pulses. Phase control, pulse shaping, or pulses of widely differing duration are not required.

An Undular Bore Solution For The Higher-Order Korteweg-De Vries Equation, Tim Marchant
An Undular Bore Solution For The Higher-Order Korteweg-De Vries Equation, Tim Marchant
Tim Marchant
Undular bores describe the evolution and smoothing out of an initial step in mean height and are frequently observed in both oceanographic and meteorological applications. The undular bore solution for the higher-order Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is derived, using an asymptotic transformation which relates the KdV equation and its higher-order counterpart. The higher-order KdV equation considered includes all possible third-order correction terms (where the KdV equation retains second-order terms). The asymptotic transformation is then applied to the KdV undular bore solution to obtain the higher-order undular bore. Examples of higher-order undular bores, describing both surface and internal waves, are presented. …
Solitary Wave Interaction And Evolution For A Higher-Order Hirota Equation, Tim Marchant
Solitary Wave Interaction And Evolution For A Higher-Order Hirota Equation, Tim Marchant
Tim Marchant
Solitary wave interaction and evolution for a higher-order Hirota equation is examined. The higher-order Hirota equation is asymptotically transformed to a higher-order member of the NLS hierarchy of integrable equations, if the higher-order coefficients satisfy a certain algebraic relationship. The transformation is used to derive higher-order one- and two-soliton solutions. It is shown that the interaction is asymptotically elastic and the higher-order corrections to the coordinate and phase shifts are derived. For the higher-order Hirota equation resonance occurs between the solitary waves and linear radiation, so soliton perturbation theory is used to determine the details of the evolving wave and …
Evidence For Monazite Growth At ~1.6 Ga And ~1.4 Ga In Proterozoic Migmatites Of The Santa Fe Range, North-Central New Mexico, Dan Heuer, Christopher Daniel
Evidence For Monazite Growth At ~1.6 Ga And ~1.4 Ga In Proterozoic Migmatites Of The Santa Fe Range, North-Central New Mexico, Dan Heuer, Christopher Daniel
Dan Heuer
Supracrustal Proterozoic migmatites exposed in the Aspen Basin area of the Santa Fe Range represent the northernmost exposure of the Mazatzal (~1.65 Ga) crustal province. Two migmatite samples (plag-bt-ms-qtz-hem±grt) yield preliminary in-situ electron microprobe U-Th-total Pb ages from monazite that are ~1.4 Ga; however, 1 grain yields a core age of ~1.6 Ga.
Monazite are generally aligned subparallel to a regional moderately, south-dipping foliation (S1), indicating monazite growth was pre- or synkinematic. X-ray mapping of monazite shows variable U, Th, Pb, Y, and Ce zoning, interpreted to reflect three periods of monazite growth. Xenotime are relatively unzoned in most elements, …

Monazite Thermochronometry In Migmatites From North-Central New Mexico: Contact Metamorphism Or A Regional Mid-Crustal Melt-Rich Layer?, Dan Heuer, Christopher Daniel, Joseph Pyle
Monazite Thermochronometry In Migmatites From North-Central New Mexico: Contact Metamorphism Or A Regional Mid-Crustal Melt-Rich Layer?, Dan Heuer, Christopher Daniel, Joseph Pyle
Dan Heuer
Monazite thermochronometry demonstrates that Proterozoic migmatites exposed in the central Santa Fe range and the Rincon range of north-central New Mexico preserve high-temperature monazite that crystallized near 1.4 Ga. No 1.4 Ga plutons are exposed in the Rincon range; however, undated plutons are present in the Santa Fe Range and a contact metamorphic setting is possible. Alternatively, partial melting in these two areas may represent a regional, mid-crustal, melt-rich layer.
Subhedral monazite in both areas are commonly aligned subparallel with the dominant regional foliation. Monazite from the central Santa Fe range show three distinct compositional domains. Relatively high-Y cores yield …
Modelling A Wool Scour Bowl, Tim Marchant
Modelling A Wool Scour Bowl, Tim Marchant
Tim Marchant
Wool scouring is the process of washing dirty wool after shearing. Our model simulates, using the advection-diffusion equation, the movement of contaminants within a scour bowl. The effects of varying the important parameters are investigated. Interesting, but simple, relationships are found which give insight into the dynamics of a scour bowl.

Jet-Based Methods To Print Living Cells, Bradley Ringeisen, Christina Othon, Jason Barron, H Young, Barry Spargo
Christina M Othon
Cell printing has been popularized over the past few years as a revolutionary advance in tissue engineering has potentially enabled heterogeneous 3-D scaffolds to be built cell-by-cell. This review article summarizes the state-of-the-art cell printing techniques that utilize fluid jetting phenomena to deposit 2- and 3-D patterns of living eukaryotic cells. There are four distinct categories of jetbased approaches to printing cells. Laser guidance direct write (LG DW) was the first reported technique to print viable cells by forming patterns of embryonic-chick spinal-cord cells on a glass slide (1999). Shortly after this, modified laser-induced forward transfer techniques (LIFT) and modified …

Projects That Assist With Content In A Traditional Organic Chemistry Course, John Esteb, John Magers, Luanne Mcnulty, Anne Wilson
John Esteb
Projects that engage undergraduate students in content-based courses, such as organic chemistry, must relate to the material and provide useful tools for the divergent needs of the students. There are few examples of these types of projects in the literature. Herein, we describe two projects, the reaction notebook and the end-of-semester synthesis activity. Each project is designed to stimulate student ownership of the material and leads to engagement with the content of the course.

Kinetic Deuterium Isotope Effects On The Reactions Of 2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)Oxirane In Water Solutions, Ram Mohan, Victoria Ukachukwu, Dale Whalen
Kinetic Deuterium Isotope Effects On The Reactions Of 2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)Oxirane In Water Solutions, Ram Mohan, Victoria Ukachukwu, Dale Whalen
Ram S. Mohan
The rates of reaction of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)oxirane (4-methoxystyrene oxide), trans-3-deutereo-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)oxirane and 3,3-dideutereo-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)oxirane in water solutions were measured as functions of pH. Kinetic deuterium isotope effects for the reactions of the mono- and di-deuterated (4-methoxyphenyl)oxiranes were determined for both the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis to diols and the pH-independent reactions leading mostly to rearranged aldehyde and involving a 1,2-hydrogen migration. The inverse kinetic deuterium isotopes for acid-catalyzed hydrolyses of the deuterated (4-methoxyphenyl)oxiranes to diols are consistent with rate-limiting epoxide ring opening. The magnitudes of the normal kinetic deuterium isotope effects on the pH-independent reactions of deuterated 4-methoxyphenyloxiranes are significantly smaller than the deuterium …

Evidence For A Normal P-T Gradient And Top-North Displacement In The Central Bhutan Himalaya: Shear Sense And P-T Estimates From The Chekha Fm. And The Greater Himalayan Sequence, Dan Heuer, John Witmer, Adam Kahler, M. Ryan Delaney, Adam Dennis, Djordje Grugic, Christopher Daniel
Evidence For A Normal P-T Gradient And Top-North Displacement In The Central Bhutan Himalaya: Shear Sense And P-T Estimates From The Chekha Fm. And The Greater Himalayan Sequence, Dan Heuer, John Witmer, Adam Kahler, M. Ryan Delaney, Adam Dennis, Djordje Grugic, Christopher Daniel
Dan Heuer
Upper amphibolite facies metasedimentary rocks at the base of the Chekha Fm overlie the partially melted Greater Himalaya Sequence (GHS) and likely correlate with the Everest Series in the Mt. Everest massif. From the base of the Chekha Fm, metamorphic grade decreases to slates and unmetamorphosed rocks of the Tethyan sedimentary series (TSS) with increasing elevation. The Chekha Fm is separated from both the GHS and the overlying TSS by normal-sense shear zones related to the south Tibetan Detachment zone (STDZ).
Five samples from near the base of the Chekha Fm are characterized by the mineral assemblage Grt-Bt-St. Garnet crystals …

Improved Buehler Limits Based On Refined Designated Statistics , Chris Lloyd, Paul Kabaila
Chris J. Lloyd
The Buehler upper confidence limit is as small as possible, subject to the constraints that (a) its coverage probability never falls below nimonal and (b) it is a non-decreasing function of a designated statistic. The designated statistic may have ties among its possible values.
We prove that breaking such ties by a sufficiently small
modification can never increase the Buehler limit. We also prove that, under commonly satisfied conditions, breaking ties by a sufficiently small modification will result in an improved i.e. smaller Buehler limit. We conclude that designated statistics should not contain ties, apart from ties justified by symmetry …
