New (Probabilistic) Derivation of Diaz-Metcalf and Pólya-Szegő Inequalities and Consequences
No full textClassical inequalities of Diaz - Metcalf and Pólya - Szegő are generalized to
probabilistic setting which covers the initial deterministic (both discrete and integral) variants.
From these two inequalities, by the probabilistic derivation method further well -
known inequalities are obtained (that ones by Kantorovich, Rennie and Schweitzer)
Mouvance and the medieval author: re-editing Ancrene Wisse
No full textThe paper discusses the theoretical and practical problems of editing the early thirteenth-century guide for anchoresses, Ancrene Wisse, which (in Paul Zumthor's phrase) is an 'oeuvre mouvante', modified repeatedly from an early stage by its author and others

Cross-phase modulation in rubidium-87
No full textThis thesis explores the theoretical foundations of cross-phase modulation (XPM) between optical fields in the N-configuration atom. This is the process by which the refractive index experienced by one field can be modulated by controlling the intensity of another. The electro-optical version of this effect was first discovered by John Kerr in 1875 and found applications in photonics as a means of very rapidly modulating the phase and intensity of electromagnetic fields. Due to recent advances in experimental techniques there has been growing interest in generating nonlinear optical interactions in coherently prepared atomic ensembles.
The use of coherently prepared media brings the possibility of achieving a much larger cross-phase modulation than is possible using classical materials. This is particularly useful when trying to create large optical nonlinearities between low-intensity electromagnetic fields. Much of the current research into cross-phase modulation is directed towards realising potential applications in the emerging field of quantum information processing. Above all, the possibility of constructing an all-optical quantum computer has been at the heart of much research and controversy in the field.
In this thesis the theory of steady-state, transient and pulsed cross-phase modulation is developed. Moreover, care has been taken to relate all research back to experimentally feasible situations. As such, the relevance of the theory is justified by consideration of the situation present in rubidium-87. Due to the close relationship between XPM in the N-configuration atom and electromagnetically induced transparency in the Lambda-atom, many similarities and insights act as link between these two fields. Indeed, it is frequently demonstrated that the key to understanding the various properties of XPM in the N-configuration atom is by comparison with the situation in the corresponding Lambda-atom equivalent
Fully localised edge states in boundary layers
No full textInvestigation of the laminar-turbulent boundary is performed in a boundary-layer flow. Constant homogeneous suction is applied at the wall in order to prevent the spatial growth of the layer, leading to the parallel Asymptotic Suction Boundary Layer (ASBL). Edge tracking is performed in a large computational domain allowing for full spatial localisation of the structures on the laminar-turbulent separatrix. The obtained dynamics of the state goes through calm and bursting phases. During the latter the structure grows in size, shedding vortices downstream of its core which viscously decay during the calm phases. Comparison with the computation in spatially growing boundary layer is made. The influence of the Reynolds number and the path leading from the edge state to turbulent flow are considered
Bypass transition in boundary layers as an activated process
No full textWe consider the spatio-temporal aspects of the transition to turbulence in a boundary layer above a flat plate exposed to free-stream turbulence. Combining results from the receptivity to free-stream turbulence with the observation of a double threshold from transition studies in e.g. pipe flow we arrive at a physically motivated prediction for the spatial distribution of nucleation events in boundary layers. We use a cellular automaton to implement a complete model for the spatial and temporal evolution of turbulent patches and show that the model reproduces the statistical features of the boundary layer remarkably well. The success of the modeling shows that bypass transition occurs as a spatiotemporally activated process, where transition is triggered by critical fluctuations imported from the free-stream turbulence
[Interview Minutes with D.S. Myer, WRA National Director, March 18, 1944]
No full textMeeting minutes between incarceree-led Tule Lake Camp government and War Relocation Authority Director D.S. [Dillon Seymour] Myer. Question-answer session between Co-ordinating Committee and Myer. Includes questions about legitimacy and self-governance of Co-ordinating Committee, concerns about camp food, employment, and martial law in the camp.The Willard Schmidt collection, documents some of the administrative duties of Willard Schmidt, the Chief of Internal Security for the War Relocation Authority and the Tule Lake incarceration/segregation camp. This collection contains administrative records and photos documenting the Tule Lake camp, the largest incarceration camp with a peak population of 18,789 and with the most turbulent history. In 1943, the camp was turned into a segregation center to house "disloyal" Japanese Americans relocated from other camps based on their answers to a confusing loyalty questionnaire. The camp endured martial law from November 1943- Jan 1944 after escalating protests and unrest. The hostile environment of the camp lead to many incarcerees renouncing their American citizenship upon the end of incarceration, a process which took 14 years to reverse if they did not wish to be deported to Japan
