Gis Data: Lynnhaven River Virginia Beach, Virginia Shoreline Inventory Report, Marcia Berman, Harry Berquist, Sharon Killeen, Karinna Nunez, Tamia Rudnicky, Daniel E. Schatt, Karen Reay, David Weiss
Data
The data contained within the Shoreline Inventory is based on a three-tiered shoreline assessment approach. The assessment characterizes conditions that are observed from a small boat navigating along the shoreline. Hand-held GPS units are used to log features. The three tiered shoreline assessment approach reports conditions in three regions: 1) the immediate riparian zone, evaluated for land use; 2) the bank, evaluated for height, stability, cover and natural protection; and 3) the shoreline, describing the presence of shoreline structures for shore protection and recreational purposes. Three GIS coverages are generated. The lynn_lubc coverage contains features related to the land use …
Upper Limits On Gravitational Wave Emission From 78 Radio Pulsars, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, Mario C. Diaz, Soumya Mohanty, Soma Mukherjee, Cristina V. Torres
Upper Limits On Gravitational Wave Emission From 78 Radio Pulsars, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, Mario C. Diaz, Soumya Mohanty, Soma Mukherjee, Cristina V. Torres
Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications and Presentations
We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO 600 gravitational wave detectors. The data from both runs have been combined coherently to maximize sensitivity. For the first time, pulsars within binary (or multiple) systems have been included in the search by taking into account the signal modulation due to their orbits. Our upper limits are therefore the first measured for 56 of these pulsars. For the remaining 22, our results improve on previous upper limits by up to a factor …
Nitrogen Heterocyclic Compounds As Receptors In Nanosensors For Nerve Gas Agent Analogs, Swapna Katram
Nitrogen Heterocyclic Compounds As Receptors In Nanosensors For Nerve Gas Agent Analogs, Swapna Katram
Masters Theses
The research is focused on developing nanosensors consisting of different components that are chemically linked, namely, nanoparticle, fluorescent monomer, and receptor (NMR sensors) and nanoparticle, monomer, nanomolecule, and receptor (NMNR sensors) for the sensitive and selective detection of nerve gas agents. These sensors detect the target toxins by fluorescence change which is amplified by signal transduction. Model nerve gas toxins (DCP) and (DMMP) and HCl were employed as analytes, and the nitrogen heterocyclic compounds, 5-aminoindazole and dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (dppz) as receptors in the NMR and NNMR nanosensors. The monomers were (E)-4-(4- formylstyryl) benzoic acid (NMR sensor) and 2-mercaptosuccinic acid (NNMR sensor). …

A Fixed Point Theorem For The Infinite-Dimensional Simplex, Douglas Rizzolo '08, Francis E. Su
A Fixed Point Theorem For The Infinite-Dimensional Simplex, Douglas Rizzolo '08, Francis E. Su
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
We define the infinite-dimensional simplex to be the closure of the convex hull of the standard basis vectors in R∞, and prove that this space has the fixed point property: any continuous function from the space into itself has a fixed point. Our proof is constructive, in the sense that it can be used to find an approximate fixed point; the proof relies on elementary analysis and Sperner's lemma. The fixed point theorem is shown to imply Schauder's fixed point theorem on infinite-dimensional compact convex subsets of normed spaces.

Thermally Driven Defect Formation And Blocking Layers At Metal-Zno Interfaces, H. L. Mosbacker, C. Zgrabik, M. J. Hetzer, A. Swain, David C. Look, G. Cantwell, J. Zhang, J. J. Song, L. J. Brillson
Thermally Driven Defect Formation And Blocking Layers At Metal-Zno Interfaces, H. L. Mosbacker, C. Zgrabik, M. J. Hetzer, A. Swain, David C. Look, G. Cantwell, J. Zhang, J. J. Song, L. J. Brillson
Physics Faculty Publications
The authors used depth-resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy and current-voltage measurements to probe the temperature-dependent formation of native point defects and reaction layers at metal-ZnO interfaces and their effect on transport properties. These results identify characteristic defect emissions corresponding to metal-Zn alloy versus oxide formation. Au alloys with Zn above its eutectic temperature, while Ta forms oxide blocking layers that reduce current by orders of magnitude at intermediate temperatures. Defects generated at higher temperatures and/or with higher initial defect densities for all interfaces produce Ohmic contacts. These reactions and defect formation with annealing reveal a thermodynamic control of blocking versus Ohmic contacts.

Adaptation To High Temperatures Through Macromolecular Dynamics By Neutron Scattering, M. Tehei, G. Zaccai
Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)
Work on the relationship between hyperthermophile protein dynamics, stability and activity is reviewed. Neutron spectroscopy has been applied to measure and compare the macromolecular dynamics of various hyperthermophilic and mesophilic proteins, under different conditions. First, molecular dynamics have been analyzed for the hyperthermophile malate dehydrogenase from Methanococcus jannaschii and a mesophilic homologue, the lactate dehydrogenase from Oryctolagus cunniculus (rabbit) muscle. The neutron scattering approach has provided independent measurements of the global flexibility and structural resilience of each protein, and it has been demonstrated that macromolecular dynamics represents one of the molecular mechanisms of thermoadaptation. The resilience was found to be …

A Scalable Approach For Survivable Virtual Topology Routing In Optical Wdm Networks, Ajay Todimala, Byrav Ramamurthy
A Scalable Approach For Survivable Virtual Topology Routing In Optical Wdm Networks, Ajay Todimala, Byrav Ramamurthy
School of Computing: Faculty Publications
The survivable virtual topology routing problem is to route a virtual topology graph on a optical fiber physical topology such that the virtual topology remains connected when failures occur in the physical topology. In this work we study the problem of survivable virtual topology routing under single node/SRLG (Shared Risk Link Group) failure model. We prove that the survivable virtual topology routing problem under node/SRLG failures is NP-complete. We present an improved integer linear programming (ILP) formulation for computing the survivable routing of a virtual topology graph. However, ILP is not scalable when the network size scales more than a …
Characterizing Sparse Graphs By Map Decompositions, Ruth Haas, Audrey Lee, Ileana Streinu, Louis Theran
Characterizing Sparse Graphs By Map Decompositions, Ruth Haas, Audrey Lee, Ileana Streinu, Louis Theran
Mathematics Sciences: Faculty Publications
A map is a graph that admits an orientation of its edges so that each vertex has out-degree exactly 1. We characterize graphs which admit a decomposition into k edge-disjoint maps after: (1) the addition of any ℓ edges; (2) the addition of some ℓ edges. These graphs are identified with classes of sparse graphs; the results are also given in matroidal terms.
The Whitehead Link On The Cubic Lattice, Elizabeth Haynes
The Whitehead Link On The Cubic Lattice, Elizabeth Haynes
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The cubic lattice is a graph in Â3 where the vertices are points with integer coordinates and edges are unit length line segments parallel to the x-, y-, or z-axis. A step is a line segment that connects one vertex to a neighboring vertex one unit away in the x-, y-, or z-direction. This thesis will show that the Whitehead Link needs at least 34 steps to be embedded on the cubic lattice.

Physical Sciences Publications
Single-color and two-color pump-probe measurements are used to analyze carrier dynamics in InAs∕GaAs quantum dot amplifiers. The study reveals that hole recovery and intradot electron relaxation occur on a picosecond time scale, while the electron capture time is on the order of 10ps. A longer time scale of hundreds of picoseconds is associated with carrier recovery in the wetting layer, similar to that observed in quantum well semiconductor amplifiers.

All Physics Faculty Publications
Small-scale (less than 15 km horizontal wavelength) wavelike structures known as ripples are a common occurrence in OH airglow images. Recent case studies attribute their origin to the presence of either convective or dynamical instabilities. However, little is known about their frequency of occurrence and period. The Maui-MALT Observatory, located at Mt. Haleakala, is instrumented with a Na wind/temperature lidar, which allows the determination of whether the atmosphere is dynamically or convectively unstable, and a fast OH airglow camera which takes images every 3 s with a sensitivity high enough to see the ripples. This study reports on 2 months …
Predictors Of Female Sexual Dysfunction, Julie M. Merrell
Predictors Of Female Sexual Dysfunction, Julie M. Merrell
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Tiefer, Hall, and Tavris (2002) described factors comprising four categories of female sexual dysfunction. They suggested that unique factors need to be examined to understand sexual dysfunction in women. Socio-cultural, political, or economic factors, partner and relationship factors, psychological factors, and medical factors described as aspects of women’s lives that can be the source of sexual dysfunction. The current study examined indicators of the above factors-body shame, relationship satisfaction, sexual self-schema, positive and negative affect, and overall health-as predictors of female sexual dysfunction. The hypotheses were: Body shame and negative affect will be negatively associated with sexual function; and relationship …

Betti Numbers And Degree Bounds For Some Linked Zero-Schemes, Leah Gold, Hal Schenck, Hema Srinivasan
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
In [J. Herzog, H. Srinivasan, Bounds for multiplicities, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 350 (1998) 2879–2902], Herzog and Srinivasan study the relationship between the graded Betti numbers of a homogeneous ideal II in a polynomial ring RR and the degree of II. For certain classes of ideals, they prove a bound on the degree in terms of the largest and smallest Betti numbers, generalizing results of Huneke and Miller in [C. Huneke, M. Miller, A note on the multiplicity of Cohen–Macaulay algebras with pure resolutions, Canad. J. Math. 37 (1985) 1149–1162]. The bound is conjectured to hold in general; we study …
