Quantum Technology in Space
No full textJourney with us into the cutting-edge developments of NASA\u27s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as we explore the integration of quantum technology in space missions. Dive deep into the intricacies of the Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL), understand the precision of deep space atomic clocks (DSAC) for space navigation, and unravel the potential of Rydberg sensors for remote broadband sensing. We explore their significance in enhancing our understanding of quantum mechanics and gravity and their applications in geophysics, space missions, navigation, and precise timekeeping.https://digitalcommons.morris.umn.edu/publecture/1009/thumbnail.jp
Spring Burns and its Effects on Vernal Forbs
Get PDFGrasslands are the least protected ecosystem on earth. In North America, protected native grasslands are typically burned in the spring, when native warm-season grasses are dormant, to reduce growth of invasive cool-season grasses; burn seasons historically included summer burns. This study aims to find how spring burns affect early spring flowering forbs (non-woody, non-grass plants).https://digitalcommons.morris.umn.edu/urs_2024/1007/thumbnail.jp
Enhancing Evolutionary Computation through Phylogenetic Analysis
Get PDFIn this paper, we will provide an overview of the paper “Phylogeny-informed fitness estimation for test-based parent selection” by Lalejini, et al. [7] Phylogenies, or ancestry trees, provide a detailed look into the evolutionary journey of a population. In evolutionary computation, a phylogeny can represent the progress of an evolutionary algorithm through a search space. Although phylogenetic analysis is mainly used to deepen the understanding of evolutionary algorithms after they have been run, this study explores its potential use in real-time to enhance parent selection during evolutionary searches. The research by Lalejini, et al. introduces the concept of phylogeny-informed fitness estimation, leveraging a population’s phylogeny to predict fitness values. This method is tested using both down-sampled lexicase and cohort lexicase selection algorithms across four genetic programming (GP) problems. The findings suggest that using phylogenies to estimate fitness values can improve the performance of down-sampled lexicase selection, fostering better diversity and search space exploration
\u27Strawberry Ripening Moon\u27 or ‘Wažúšteča šá wí’ (June)
No full text‘Wažúšteča šá wí’ is the Strawberry Ripening Moon, which typically occurs during June. This is when wild strawberries turn from a green-white tint to red, indicating that the summer months have begun. The word ‘Šá’ means ‘Red’, and “Wažúšteča’ means ‘Strawberry’, which makes the literal translation “Red Strawberry Moon”.
An illustration of a Strawberry plant, with three strawberries on the vines and a white flower at the top indicating the fruit is ripe. In the background of the white flower is a yellow circle that represents the moon or the month.https://digitalcommons.morris.umn.edu/calendar_posters/1010/thumbnail.jp
\u27Tree Popping Moon\u27 or ‘čhaŋkáphopa wí’ (December)
No full textTree Popping Moon, or ‘čhaŋkáphopa wí’, refers to December. It is called this due to the frigid temperatures that happen during the winter season. Oftentimes, Dakota people could hear the trees popping from the extremely cold weather. When the trees began to pop, this meant that Winter was upon us and to be prepared for more harsh, cold weather.
