Lamprey watershed education and outreach
The Lamprey River Nomination Committee sought the assistance of the Piscataqua Region Estuaries Partnership (PREP) to complete an extensive and detailed information package to nominate the Lamprey River and its major tributaries to the NH Rivers Management and Protection Program. The nomination package was due at DES on June 1, 2010, was reviewed and accepted by the State Rivers Management Committee in September and forwarded to the Commissioner of DES. The nomination is now working through the NH legislature with hearings anticipated during the spring 2011 session. If passed, the bill should be signed by Governor Lynch in July of 2011.
Assistance from PREP was essential for the completion of a major outreach effort to landowners along the rivers under consideration, communication with each town selec tboard, planning board and conservation commission, and with many partners and organizations throughout the watershe
Stream Assessments and Water Quality Monitoring in the Cocheco River Watershed 2001 Project
The purpose of the project is to gather data and information through volunteer water quality monitoring and stream surveys in the Cocheco River watershed. The data will be analyzed and disseminated for use in watershed management planning by the Cocheco River Watershed Coalition with the watershed communities
2004 Alewife Festival
On June 5, 2004, the Exeter River Local Advisory Committee (ERLAC) held the 4th Annual Exeter River Alewife Festival along the banks of the Squamscott River in downtown Exeter. Over three dozen organizations exhibited at the Festival and event organizers estimate approximately 750 people, including many children, attended the event. The purpose of the Festival was to increase awareness of the Exeter River watershed and the role it plays in the Great Bay ecosystem, as well as its role in providing drinking water, wildlife habitat, and scenic, historic and recreational resources for residents in the ten watershed towns. Funding provided by the New Hampshire Estuaries Project enabled ERLAC to print posters, banners, and newspaper advertisements announcing the event
Support for the 3rd Annual Exeter River Alewife Festival
With support from the NH Estuaries Project (NHEP), the Exeter River Local Advisory Committee (ERLAC) held the 3rd Annual Exeter River Alewife Festival on May 31, 2003 in downtown Exeter. NHEP funding enabled ERLAC and the Festival Planning Committee to print and distribute posters and cards advertising the Festival, purchase newspaper advertisements and arrange opportunities for the press to learn more about the event. In addition, ERLAC members worked with area newspapers to write and print eleven articles highlighting aspects of the river and the watershed
Worldline approach to semi-classical conformal blocks
We extend recent results on semi-classical conformal blocks in 2d CFT and
their relation to 3D gravity via the AdS/CFT correspondence. We consider
four-point functions with two heavy and two light external operators, along
with the exchange of a light operator. By explicit computation, we establish
precise agreement between these CFT objects and a simple picture of particle
worldlines joined by cubic vertices propagating in asymptotically AdS
geometries (conical defects or BTZ black holes). We provide a simple argument
that explains this agreement.Comment: 20 pages, 1 figur
Late time Wilson lines
In the AdS/CFT correspondence, physical interest attaches to
understanding Virasoro conformal blocks at large central charge and in a
kinematical regime of large Lorentzian time separation, . However,
almost no analytical information about this regime is presently available. By
employing the Wilson line representation we derive new results on conformal
blocks at late times, effectively resumming all dependence on . This is
achieved in the context of "light-light" blocks, as opposed to the richer, but
much less tractable, "heavy-light" blocks. The results exhibit an initial
decay, followed by erratic behavior and recurrences. We also connect this
result to gravitational contributions to anomalous dimensions of double trace
operators by using the Lorentzian inversion formula to extract the latter.
Inverting the stress tensor block provides a pedagogical example of inversion
formula machinery.Comment: 23 page
