Bethe Ansatz solutions for Temperley-Lieb Quantum Spin Chains
We solve the spectrum of quantum spin chains based on representations of the
Temperley-Lieb algebra associated with the quantum groups for and . The tool is a
modified version of the coordinate Bethe Ansatz through a suitable choice of
the Bethe states which give to all models the same status relative to their
diagonalization. All these models have equivalent spectra up to degeneracies
and the spectra of the lower dimensional representations are contained in the
higher-dimensional ones. Periodic boundary conditions, free boundary conditions
and closed non-local boundary conditions are considered. Periodic boundary
conditions, unlike free boundary conditions, break quantum group invariance.
For closed non-local cases the models are quantum group invariant as well as
periodic in a certain sense.Comment: 28 pages, plain LaTex, no figures, to appear in Int. J. Mod. Phys.
Correlation functions for the three state superintegrable chiral Potts spin chain of finite lengths
We compute the correlation functions of the three state superintegrable
chiral Potts spin chain for chains of length 3,4,5. From these results we
present conjectures for the form of the nearest neighbor correlation function.Comment: 10 pages; references update
EC03-702 Precision Agriculture: Applications of Remote Sensing in Site-Specific Management
Precision farming is an emerging agricultural technology that involves managing each crop input on a site-specific basis to reduce waste, increase profits, and maintain the quality of the environment. Remote sensing is a technology that can be used to obtain various spatial layers of information about soil and crop conditions. It allows detection and/or characterization of an object, series of objects, or landscape without having the sensor in physical contact
Quantum Loop Subalgebra and Eigenvectors of the Superintegrable Chiral Potts Transfer Matrices
It has been shown in earlier works that for Q=0 and L a multiple of N, the
ground state sector eigenspace of the superintegrable tau_2(t_q) model is
highly degenerate and is generated by a quantum loop algebra L(sl_2).
Furthermore, this loop algebra can be decomposed into r=(N-1)L/N simple sl_2
algebras. For Q not equal 0, we shall show here that the corresponding
eigenspace of tau_2(t_q) is still highly degenerate, but splits into two
spaces, each containing 2^{r-1} independent eigenvectors. The generators for
the sl_2 subalgebras, and also for the quantum loop subalgebra, are given
generalizing those in the Q=0 case. However, the Serre relations for the
generators of the loop subalgebra are only proven for some states, tested on
small systems and conjectured otherwise. Assuming their validity we construct
the eigenvectors of the Q not equal 0 ground state sectors for the transfer
matrix of the superintegrable chiral Potts model.Comment: LaTeX 2E document, using iopart.cls with iopams packages. 28 pages,

Bond-Propagation Algorithm for Thermodynamic Functions in General 2D Ising Models
Recently, we developed and implemented the bond propagation algorithm for
calculating the partition function and correlation functions of random bond
Ising models in two dimensions. The algorithm is the fastest available for
calculating these quantities near the percolation threshold. In this paper, we
show how to extend the bond propagation algorithm to directly calculate
thermodynamic functions by applying the algorithm to derivatives of the
partition function, and we derive explicit expressions for this transformation.
We also discuss variations of the original bond propagation procedure within
the larger context of Y-Delta-Y-reducibility and discuss the relation of this
class of algorithm to other algorithms developed for Ising systems. We conclude
with a discussion on the outlook for applying similar algorithms to other
models.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures; submitte
The anisotropic XY model on the inhomogeneous periodic chain
The static and dynamic properties of the anisotropic XY-model on
the inhomogeneous periodic chain, composed of cells with different
exchange interactions and magnetic moments, in a transverse field are
determined exactly at arbitrary temperatures. The properties are obtained by
introducing the Jordan-Wigner fermionization and by reducing the problem to a
diagonalization of a finite matrix of order. The quantum transitions are
determined exactly by analyzing, as a function of the field, the induced
magnetization 1/n\sum_{m=1}^{n}\mu_{m}\left ( denotes
the cell, the site within the cell, the magnetic moment at site
within the cell) and the spontaneous magnetization which is obtained from the correlations for large spin separations. These results,
which are obtained for infinite chains, correspond to an extension of the ones
obtained by Tong and Zhong(\textit{Physica B} \textbf{304,}91 (2001)). The
dynamic correlations, , and the dynamic
susceptibility, are also obtained at arbitrary
temperatures. Explicit results are presented in the limit T=0, where the
critical behaviour occurs, for the static susceptibility as
a function of the transverse field , and for the frequency dependency of
dynamic susceptibility .Comment: 33 pages, 13 figures, 01 table. Revised version (minor corrections)

Elements of an Integrated Phenotyping System for Monitoring Crop Status at Canopy Level
Great care is needed to obtain spectral data appropriate for phenotyping in a scientifically rigorous manner. This paper discusses the procedures and considerations necessary and also suggests important pre-processing and analytical steps leading to real-time, non-destructive assessment of crop biophysical characteristics. The system has three major components: (1) data-collection platforms (with a focus on backpack and tractor-mounted units) including specific instruments and their configurations; (2) data-collection and display software; and (3) standard products depicting crop-biophysical characteristics derived using a suite of models to transform the spectral data into accurate, reliable biophysical characteristics of crops, such as fraction of green vegetation, absorbed photosynthetically active radiation, leaf area index, biomass, chlorophyll content and gross primary production. This system streamlines systematic data acquisition, facilitates research, and provides useful products for agriculture
The structure of quotients of the Onsager algebra by closed ideals
We study the Onsager algebra from the ideal theoretic point of view. A
complete classification of closed ideals and the structure of quotient algebras
are obtained. We also discuss the solvable algebra aspect of the Onsager
algebra through the use of formal Lie algebras.Comment: 33 pages, Latex, small topos corrected-Journal versio
