Trends in Langley helicopter noise research
A broad perspective of needs in helicopter exterior and interior control is presented. Emphasis is given to those items which support noise certification of civil helicopters and which result in reduced environmental noise impact to community residents as well as to helicopter passengers. The activities described are related to the Langley responsibilities for helicopter acoustics as defined by NASA roles and missions

Spectral function of the one-dimensional Hubbard model away from half filling
We calculate the photoemission spectral function of the one-dimensional
Hubbard model away from half filling using the dynamical density matrix
renormalization group method. An approach for calculating momentum-dependent
quantities in finite open chains is presented. Comparison with exact Bethe
Ansatz results demonstrates the unprecedented accuracy of our method. Our
results show that the photoemission spectrum of the quasi-one-dimensional
conductor TTF-TCNQ provides evidence for spin-charge separation on the scale of
the conduction band width.Comment: REVTEX, 4 pages including 4 EPS figures (changed); correct chemical

Ground Measurements of the Shock-Wave Noise from Airplanes in Level Flight at Mach Numbers to 1.4 and at Altitudes to 45000 Feet
Time histories of noise pressures near ground level were measured during flight tests of fighter-type airplanes over fairly flat, partly wooded terrain in the e Mach number range between 1.13 and 1.4 and at altitudes from 25,000 to 45,000 feet. Atmospheric soundings and radar tracking studies were made for correlation with the measured noise data. The measured and calculated values of the pressure rise across the shock wave were generally in good agreement. There is a tendency for the theory to overestimate the pressure at locations remote from the track and to underestimate the pressures for conditions of high tailwind at altitude. The measured values of ground-reflection factor averaged about 1.8 f or the surface tested as compared to a theoretical value of 2.0. P o booms were measured in all cases. The observers also generally reported two booms; although, in some cases, only one boom was reported. The shock-wave noise associated with some of the flight tests was judged to be objectionable by ground observers, and in one case the cracking of a plate-glass store window was correlated in time with the passage of the airplane at an altitude of 25,000 feet
Cumulant expansion of the periodic Anderson model in infinite dimension
The diagrammatic cumulant expansion for the periodic Anderson model with
infinite Coulomb repulsion () is considered here for an hypercubic
lattice of infinite dimension (). The same type of simplifications
obtained by Metzner for the cumulant expansion of the Hubbard model in the
limit of , are shown to be also valid for the periodic Anderson
model.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figures.ps. To be published in J. Phys. A: Mathematical

Fractional Aharonov-Bohm effect in mesoscopic rings
We study the effects of correlations on a one dimensional ring threaded by a
uniform magnetic flux. In order to describe the interaction between particles,
we work in the framework of the U Hubbard and - models. We focus
on the dilute limit. Our results suggest the posibility that the persistent
current has an anomalous periodicity , where is an integer in
the range ( is the number of particles in the ring
and is the flux quantum). We found that this result depends neither
on disorder nor on the detailed form of the interaction, while remains the on
site infinite repulsion.Comment: 14 pages (Revtex), 5 postscript figures. Send e-mail to:
