The Klein-Gordon Equation

Two solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation are found. The existence of a maximum relativistic correction of 2 is thus indicated. The normal relativistic correction is given by the usual solution. A certain Hilbert Space is used to find the solutions using a group theory taught at LSU and the Texas Method of Math also taught at LSU. The usefulness of group theoretical manipulations in Hilbert Space is indicated. A lemma is proved using this group theory that predicts a charge of +/-1 is the only values of charge possible. The usefulness of the second solution to the Klein-Gordon equation of a maximum of 2 for the relativistic correction is basic to the mass predictions in [3]. The fact that the energy reaches mc^2 indicates a dipole spinning at velocity c. The dipole is spinning in a magnetic field created by other particles so it creates charge

Gravity

Considering two balls of Z protons each near each other the residual electric potential V is calculated. Also the gravitational potential is calculated. The Gravitational constant is the same for both. Thus the electric field creates gravity. This calculation is possible because the multibody energy states are known exactly. The relativistic correction of 2 has been found from the Klein-Gordon Equation solution. This finding is an important step in reducing known forces to one field. Recall the electric field is generated by motion in the magnetic field of atoms of a magnetic dipole. The mass is a function of the length of the magnetic dipole

Nucleon

The force here is the nuclear force binding the nuclei together. A magnetic dipole has the energy given by -13.6*2*n^2[3]. A particle with n=822 is a magnetic dipole with magnetic quantum number m=1,2,3,… so that -18.3786Mev*m is an energy/mass which we may associate with the nucleus. The relativistic correction 2[4] is required showing that the dipole velocity is near c. The nuclei are bound with particles of mass 18Mev consisting of 6 magnetic dipoles each. The binding energy tracks very well with Z-1 particles where Z is the atomic number of the element. The particle is named a Nucleon after the manner of graviton and should not be confused with the common name for a nuclear particle (proton or neutron)

Bach in a Box - Real-Time Harmony

We describe a system for learning J. S. Bach's rules of musical harmony. These rules are learned from examples and are expressed as rule-based neural networks. The rules are then applied in real-time to generate new accompanying harmony for a live performer. Real-time functionality imposes constraints on the learning and harmonizing processes, including limitations on the types of information the system can use as input and the amount of processing the system can perform. We demonstrate algorithms for generating and refining musical rules from examples which meet these constraints. We describe a method for including a priori knowledge into the rules which yields significant performance gains. We then describe techniques for applying these rules to generate new music in real-time. We conclude the paper with an analysis of experimental results

Characterization and cloning of fasciclin I and fasciclin II glycoproteins in the grasshopper

Monoclonal antibodies were previously used to identify two glycoproteins, called fasciclin I and II (70 and 95 kDa, respectively), which are expressed on different subsets of axon fascicles in the grasshopper (Schistocerca americana) embryo. Here the monoclonal antibodies were used to purify these two membrane-associated glycoproteins for further characterization. Fasciclin II appears to be an integral membrane protein, where fasciclin I is an extrinsic membrane protein. The amino acid sequences of the amino terminus and fragments of both proteins were determined. Using synthetic oligonucleotide probes and antibody screening, we isolated genomic and cDNA clones. Partial DNA sequences of these clones indicate that they encode fasciclins I and II

Tidal Excitation of Oscillation Modes in Compact White Dwarf Binaries: I. Linear Theory

We study the tidal excitation of gravity modes (g-modes) in compact white dwarf binary systems with periods ranging from minutes to hours. As the orbit of the system decays via gravitational radiation, the orbital frequency increases and sweeps through a series of resonances with the g-modes of the white dwarf. At each resonance, the tidal force excites the g-mode to a relatively large amplitude, transferring the orbital energy to the stellar oscillation. We calculate the eigenfrequencies of g-modes and their coupling coefficients with the tidal field for realistic non-rotating white dwarf models. Using these mode properties, we numerically compute the excited mode amplitude in the linear approximation as the orbit passes though the resonance, including the backreaction of the mode on the orbit. We also derive analytical estimates for the mode amplitude and the duration of the resonance, which accurately reproduce our numerical results for most binary parameters. We find that the g-modes can be excited to a dimensionless (mass-weighted) amplitude up to 0.1, with the mode energy approaching $10^{-3}$ of the gravitational binding energy of the star. This suggests that thousands of years prior to the binary merger, the white dwarf may be heated up significantly by tidal interactions. However, more study is needed since the physical amplitudes of the excited oscillation modes become highly nonlinear in the outer layer of the star, which can reduce the mode amplitude attained by tidal excitation.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure

Using Pressure Sensitive Paint to Measure Aerodynamic Forces on a Rotor Blade in Hover

This report will present details of a Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) system for measuring global surface pressures on rotorcraft blades in hover at the Rotor Test Cell located in the 14- by 22-Foot Subsonic Tunnel complex at the NASA Langley Research Center. This work builds upon previous entries and focused on collecting measurements from the upper and lower surface simultaneously. From these results, normal force (F (sub z)) values can be obtained. To date, this is the first time that the Pressure Sensitive Paint technique has been used for these types of measurements on rotor blades. In addition, several areas of improvement have been identified and are currently being developed for future testing

Effect of feeding system on enteric methane emissions from individual dairy cows on commercial farms

This study investigated the effects of feeding system on diurnal enteric methane (CH4) emissions from individual cows on commercial farms. Data were obtained from 830 cows across 12 farms, and data collated included production records, CH4 measurements (in the breath of cows using CH4 analysers at robotic milking stations for at least seven days) and diet composition. Cows received either a partial mixed ration (PMR) or a PMR with grazing. A linear mixed model was used to describe variation in CH4 emissions per individual cow and assess the effect of feeding system. Methane emissions followed a consistent diurnal pattern across both feeding systems, with emissions lowest between 05:00 and 08:59, and with a peak concentration between 17:00 and 20:59. No overall difference in emissions was found between feeding systems studied; however, differences were found in the diurnal pattern of CH4 emissions between feeding systems. The response in emissions to increasing dry matter intake was higher for cows fed PMR with grazing. This study showed that repeated spot measurements of CH4 emissions whilst cows are milked can be used to assess the effects of feeding system and potentially benchmark farms on level of emissions
