The Maine Annex, vol. 1, no. 2
The Maine Annex, published by the students of the University of Maine at the Brunswick Campus, was launched January 10, 1947. Editors introduced the publication as the product of a group of progressive students attending the Brunswick Campus. The goal of the publication, according to editors, was to tell the story of our life on this campus. The four-page, tabloid-sized paper included display advertising from area businesses. Stories in this issue of The Maine Annex are news items of interest to World War II Veterans, including international news from Europe and tips regarding the filing of federal paperwork to secure veterans benefits

General Relativistic Contributions in Transformation Optics
One potentially realistic specification for devices designed with
transformation optics is that they operate with high precision in curved
space-time, such as Earth orbit. This raises the question of what, if any, role
does space-time curvature play in determining transformation media?
Transformation optics has been based on a three-vector representation of
Maxwell's equations in flat Minkowski space-time. I discuss a completely
covariant, manifestly four-dimensional approach that enables transformations in
arbitrary space-times, and demonstrate this approach for stable circular orbits
in the spherically symmetric Schwarzschild geometry. Finally, I estimate the
magnitude of curvature induced contributions to satellite-borne transformation
media in Earth orbit and comment on the level of precision required for
metamaterial fabrication before such contributions become important.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures. Latest version has expanded analysis,

The magnetization of PrFeAsOF$_{0.12} sueprconductor
The magnetization of the PrFeAsOF polycrystalline sample
has been measured as functions of temperature and magnetic field . The
observed total magnetization is the sum of a superconducting irreversible
magnetization () and a paramagnetic magnetization (). Analysis of dc
susceptibility in the normal state shows that the paramagnetic
component of magnetization comes from the Pr magnetic moments. The
intragrain critical current density derived from the magnetization
measurement is large. The curve displays a second peak which shifts
towards the high-field region with decreasing temperature. In the low-field
region, a plateau up to a field followed by a power law
behavior of is the characteristic of the strong pinning. A vortex
phase diagram for the present superconductor has been obtained from the
magnetization and resistivity data.Comment: A revised version with modified title,8 pages, 7 figure

The Maine Annex, vol. 1, no. 1
The Maine Annex, published by the students of the University of Maine at the Brunswick Campus, was launched January 10, 1947. Editors introduced the publication as the product of a group of progressive students attending the Brunswick Campus. The goal of the publication, according to editors, was to tell the story of our life on this campus. The four-page, tabloid-sized paper included display advertising from area businesses. Following World War II, the federal G.I. Bill enabled approximately 2.3 million, predominantly white male Veterans to receive a post-secondary education. To accommodate increased enrollment, in 1946 the University of Maine established the Brunswick Campus at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station. The remote campus operated until spring 1949, when Veteran registrations waned. Among stories covered in the first issue of The Maine Annex includes The Fate of Your College Dollar, by Bill Nisbet, which discusses how student tuition and fees were distributed

The Casimir Force in Randall Sundrum Models with q+1 dimensions
We evaluate the Casimir force between two parallel plates in Randall Sundrum
(RS) scenarios extended by q compact dimensions. After giving exact expressions
for one extra compact dimension (RS 6D model), we generalize to an arbitrary
number of compact dimensions. We present the complete calculation for both two
brane scenario (RSI model) and one brane scenario (RSII models) using the
method of summing over the modes. We investigate the effects of extra
dimensions on the magnitude and sign of the force, and comment on limits for
the size and number of the extra dimensions.Comment: 19 pages, single-spaced, 3 figure
