Aerial Surveys of the Ocean and Atmosphere off Central California

The long-term goal is to enhance our understanding of airsea interaction in the littoral zone by means of applying simple dynamical theories to high-quality observations obtained in the field. The Monterey Bay serves as our natural laboratory for these purposes. The grant is one of a continuing series of programs to study the bay funded by the National Ocean Partnership Program NOPP and the ONR Naval Ocean Modeling and Prediction NOMP Program.Grant #s: N0001403WR20002, N0001403WR20006, N0001403WR2020

The Relationship Between the Design of the Built Environment and the Ability to Egress of Individuals with Disabilities

Recent catastrophic events have brought into focus the importance of planning for the evacuation needs of all persons, regardless of their diverse physical and mental abilities. While these efforts are primarily concerned with the activities before and after a crisis, there is also a renewed interest in evaluating how effectively the built environment accommodates the needs of all individuals during a crisis. This discussion focuses on the current body of knowledge concerning the relationship between the design of the built environment, the collective egress behavior of complex decentralized groups of individuals, and the ability of individuals with disabilities to effectively egress from the built environment during emergency events

Critical Statistical Charge for Anyonic Superconductivity

We examine a criterion for the anyonic superconductivity at zero temperature in Abelian matter-coupled Chern-Simons gauge field theories in three dimensions. By solving the Dyson-Schwinger equations, we obtain a critical value of the statistical charge for the superconducting phase in a massless fermion-Chern-Simons model.Comment: 11 pages; to appear in Phys Rev

A Dynamical Resolution of the Sigma Term Puzzle

We propose a resolution of the puzzle posed by the discrepancy between the pion-nucleon sigma term inferred from pion-nucleon scattering, and that deduced from baryon mass splittings using the Zweig rule. We show that there is a significant hypercharge-dependent dynamical contribution to baryon masses, not hitherto included in the analysis, which may be estimated using the scale Ward identity, and computed by solution of the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the quark self-energy. We find that the discrepancy is completely resolved without the need for any Zweig rule violation.Comment: 14 pages and 4 figures (not included), plain TeX and harvmac, DFTT 92/69 and OUTP-92-35

New vector bosons in the electroweak sector: a renormalizable model with decoupling

A linear realization of a model of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking describing additional heavy vector bosons is proposed. The model is a SU(2)_L x U(1) x SU(2)_L' x SU(2)_R' gauge theory, breaking at some high scale u to SU(2)_weak x U(1)_Y and breaking again in the standard way at the electroweak scale v to U(1)_(em). The model is renormalizable and reproduces the Standard Model in the limit u\to infinity. This decoupling property is shown to hold also at the level of radiative corrections by computing, in particular, the epsilon parameters.Comment: 39 pages, 16 Figures, Late
