Event rate estimates for LISA extreme mass ratio capture sources
Get PDFOne of the most exciting prospects for the LISA gravitational wave observatory is the detection of gravitational radiation from the inspiral of a compact object into a supermassive black hole. The large inspiral parameter space and low amplitude of the signal makes detection of these sources computationally challenging. We outline here a first cut data analysis scheme that assumes realistic computational resources. In the context of this scheme, we estimate the signal-to-noise ratio that a source requires to pass our thresholds and be detected. Combining this with an estimate of the population of sources in the Universe, we estimate the number of inspiral events that LISA could detect. The preliminary results are very encouraging -- with the baseline design, LISA can see inspirals out to a redshift z=1 and should detect over a thousand events during the mission lifetime
Characterizing and Quantifying Night Sky Brightness in Utah and Arizona
Get PDFAs part of a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program with the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), I (with mentor Dr. Constance Walker of NOAO) characterized light pollution in and near Tucson, Arizona using eight Sky Quality Meters (SQMs). In order to analyze the data in a consistent way for comparison, we created a standard procedure for reduction and analysis using python and MATLAB. The series of python scripts and MATLAB codes to remove faulty data and examine specifically anthropogenic light pollution and illustrate how the light pollution changes in relation to time, distance from the city, and airglow. Data are then analyzed by a recently developed sky brightness model created by Dan Duriscoe of the U.S. National Park Service. To quantify the measurements taken by SQMs, we tested the wavelength sensitivity of the devices used for the data collection. The findings from the laboratory testing have prompted innovations for the SQMs as well as given a sense of how data gathered by these devices should be treated. Dr. Shane Larson and I are implementing findings and procedures at Utah State University (USU), along with equipment acquired through the Undergraduate Research and Cre- ative Opportunities (URCO) grant to create a light-map of the university campus and surrounding city. Addi- tionally, the luminosity output of outdoor light fixtures will be analyzed via a Pocket Lux Light Meter. As USU has a sustainability program, Blue Goes Green, that has already implemented lighting codes, the goal of this project is the work with the collegiate administration to renovate old lighting fixtures

FINANCIAL RESTRAINT, BANKING AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT
Get PDFIn this paper, arguments and evidence is presented which leads the author to conclude that the structure and imperfections of the financial markets does influence the course of economic growth. In particular, it is concluded that due to a monopoly structure in rural banking, an agricultural credit system which has helped induce a labor saving technology, and private and public flow of funds that impediments to rural development and incentives for rural out migration have been created. Although this is only one of a number of forces operating to cause the post war growth pattern, this financial structure is a key causative element and must be dealt with to initiate a successful rural development strategy.Community/Rural/Urban Development, Financial Economics,
Annual Solar Motion and Spy Satellites
Get PDFA topic often taught in introductory astronomy courses is the changing position of the Sun in the sky as a function of time of day, and season. The relevance and importance of this motion is explained in the context of seasons and the impact it has on human activities such as agriculture. The geometry of the ob- served motion in the sky is usually reduced to graphical representations and visualizations that can be difficult to render and grasp. Sometimes students are asked to observe the Suns changing motion and record their data, but this is a long-term project requiring several months to complete. This poster describes an activity for introductory astronomy students that takes a modern approach to this topic, namely determining the Suns location in the sky on a given date through the analysis of satellite photography of the Earth
