Some Quantum Dynamical Semi-groups with Quantum Stochastic Dilation
We consider the GNS Hilbert space of a uniformly hyper-finite
- algebra and study a class of unbounded Lindbladian arises from
commutators. Exploring the local structure of UHF algebra, we have shown that
the associated Hudson-Parthasarathy type quantum stochastic differential
equation admits a unitary solution. The vacuum expectation of homomorphic
co-cycle, implemented by the Hudson-Parthasarathy flow, is conservative and
gives the minimal semi-group associated with the formal Lindbladian. We also
associate conservative minimal semi-groups to another class of Lindbladian by
solving the corresponding Evan-Hudson equation

Quantum stochastic differential equations and continuous measurements: unbounded coefficients
A natural formulation of the theory of quantum measurements in continuous
time is based on quantum stochastic differential equations
(Hudson-Parthasarathy equations). However, such a theory was developed only in
the case of Hudson-Parthasarathy equations with bounded coefficients. By using
some results on Hudson-Parthasarathy equations with unbounded coefficients, we
are able to extend the theory of quantum continuous measurements to cases in
which unbounded operators on the system space are involved. A significant
example of a quantum optical system (the degenerate parametric oscillator) is
shown to fulfill the hypotheses introduced in the general theory.Comment: 28 page
The casemoth, Liothula omnivoa (Psychidae : lepidoptera) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Liothula omnivora, one of the two known casemoths endemic to New Zealand, belongs to the Lepidopteran family Psychidae. It is distributed throughout the country, and can be found on a large number of host plants (see later). The other N.Z. casemoth, Orophora concolor, has been found on Wild Irishman and cassinias in the river beds of the South Island (Miller, 1955). L. omnivora was first described by Fereday in 1878, but Meyrick (1890) transferred it to the genus Oiketicus (Guilding, 1827) mis-spelling it Oeceticus. Dr. Allan Watson (1967, pers. comm.) of the British Museum (Natural History) considers that this species should belong in the genus Liothula and the writer has adopted Watson's view in calling it L. omnivora. The type of L. omnivora is in the Canterbury Museum, Christchurch (Entomologische Beihefte 4, Horn and Kahle, 1937). Descriptions of the external morphology of the adult male and female have been made by Fereday (1878), Meyrick (1890) and Hudson (1928). Fereday and Hudson also described the larva, the pupa has been described by Hudson and Quail (1901), and the appearance of the egg briefly noted by Hudson
Is There Sewage in My Sample?
In this lesson students investigate the relationship between sediment sampling and ocean pollution as they discover how scientists collect and study sediment on the bottom of the ocean. They will also find out if the sediment sampling methods used by scientists can be used to detect pollution. They will learn about the proximity of the Hudson Shelf Valley and the Hudson Canyon to the New York City metropolitan region, one of the most populated areas in the United States; and will learn that formerly two dumpsites in the Hudson Shelf Valley and Hudson Canyon were used to dispose of sewage sludge. Students will also learn how scientists collect and use core samples to study seafloor sediments and what are some of the impacts of dumping sewage in the ocean. Educational levels: Intermediate elementary, Middle school
Inbreeding Affects on Beetle Clustering
The Red Flour Beetle (Tribolium castaneum; Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is a common pest in many grain mills (Baldwin and Fasulo 2010) and found wherever grains or other dried foods are stored (Schröder 2008). The Red Flour Beetle ”facilitates genetic analysis with ease of culture, a short life cycle, high fecundity and facility for genetic crosses, allowing efficient genetic screens (Schröder 2008).” This can allow for them to have a strong genetic code the longer that they are bred in the lab. So, for this experiment we will be trying to see what affect inbreeding has on the aggregation behavior in the Red Flour Beetle. The purpose of this experiment is to see how genetic background influences grouping behavior. Two different strains of Tribolium castaneum were used in this experiment. The one strain used was the Hudson Red Flour Beetle which originates from Hudson, Kansas. They have been bred in the lab for 10 years. The other beetle that was used is the NDG Red Flour Beetle, which originates from Manitoba, Canada and has been in the lab 30 years. After completing this experiment, our findings are that the Hudson are considerably more light sensitive than the Hudson and as soon as light hit them they become very active. There was a noticeably higher percentage of NDG beetles that would cluster together and when they clustered they only clustered with their own strain. This leads us to believe that the NDG beetles have stronger aggregation behavior due to the significant amount of time they have been in lab breeding, compared to the Hudson beetle. The inbreeding that occurred might of allowed for the beetles to develop a more similar genetic code that allows them to group together more easily
