The coupled cluster method applied to quantum magnetism
No full textThe Coupled Cluster Method (CCM) is one of the most powerful and universally applied techniques of quantum many-body theory. In particular, it has been used extensively in order to investigate many types of lattice quantum spin system at zero temperature. The ground- and excited-state properties of these systems may now be determined routinely to great accuracy. In this Chapter we present an overview of the CCM formalism and we describe how the CCM is applied in detail. We illustrate the power and versatility of the method by presenting results for four different spin models. These are, namely, the XXZ model, a Heisenberg model with bonds of differing strengths on the square lattice, a model which interpolates between the Kagomé- and triangular-lattice antiferromagnets, and a frustrated ferrimagnetic spin system on the square lattice. We consider the ground-state properties of all of these systems and we present accurate results for the excitation energies of the spin-half square-lattice XXZ model. We utilise an "extended" SUB2 approximation scheme, and we demonstrate how this approximation may be solved exactly by using Fourier transform methods or, alternatively, by determining and solving the SUB2-m problem. We also present the results of "localised" approximation schemes called the LSUBm or SUBm-m schemes. We note that we must utilise computational techniques in order to solve these localised approximation schemes to "high order." We show that we are able to determine the positions of quantum phase transitions with much accuracy, and we demonstrate that we are able to determine their quantum criticality by using the CCM in conjunction with the coherent anomaly method (CAM). Also, we illustrate that the CCM may be used in order to determine the "nodal surfaces" of lattice quantum spin systems. Finally, we show how connections to cumulant series expansions may be made by determining the perturbation series of a spin-half triangular-lattice antiferromagnet using the CCM at various levels of LSUBm approximation

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Busfield, MSU Assistant Professor of Speech and Theater, Meet the Author is designed to introduce a general audience to a contemporary author and their work through in-depth interviews.

Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses
No full textFollowing an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied

No full textFor many, the very idea of ‘history’ calls into question narratives of the past, distant and disconnected from our contemporary moment, and out of tune with the media-centred world of our post-2000 popular culture. This approach to history, however, is based on profound misconceptions, and does not take into account the fact that the present is history: we experience our historical moment via multiple and multi-faceted media practices, from using social media to watching movies, from watching television to consuming food. The past is, in turn, never far removed from our contemporary and everyday experiences, informing not only the way we live now, but the ways in which our futures are cemented. Ever cogniscant of this, history is changing and evolving. As Anthony Grafton put it in 2007, the function of history is “giving multiple methods and practices a place to meet, as antiquarianism intersected with ecclesiastical history, both collided with law, and all of them in turn experienced the shock of the new as travellers described unknown worlds to the east and, even more surprising, to the west” (122)
