Scattering for nonlinear Schrodinger equation under partial harmonic confinement
We consider the nonlinear Schrodinger equation under a partial quadratic
confinement. We show that the global dispersion corresponding to the
direction(s) with no potential is enough to prove global in time Strichartz
estimates, from which we infer the existence of wave operators thanks to
suitable vector-fields. Conversely, given an initial Cauchy datum, the solution
is global in time and asymptotically free, provided that confinement affects
one spatial direction only. This stems from anisotropic Morawetz estimates,
involving a marginal of the position density.Comment: 26 pages. Some typos fixed, especially in Section
Full QCD on APE100 Machines
We present the first tests and results from a study of QCD with two flavours
of dynamical Wilson fermions using the Hybrid Monte Carlo Algorithm (HMCA) on
APE100 machines.Comment: 23 pages, LaTeX, 13 PS figures not include

Flight deck engine advisor
The focus of this project is on alerting pilots to impending events in such a way as to provide the additional time required for the crew to make critical decisions concerning non-normal operations. The project addresses pilots' need for support in diagnosis and trend monitoring of faults as they affect decisions that must be made within the context of the current flight. Monitoring and diagnostic modules developed under the NASA Faultfinder program were restructured and enhanced using input data from an engine model and real engine fault data. Fault scenarios were prepared to support knowledge base development activities on the MONITAUR and DRAPhyS modules of Faultfinder. An analysis of the information requirements for fault management was included in each scenario. A conceptual framework was developed for systematic evaluation of the impact of context variables on pilot action alternatives as a function of event/fault combinations
Solving the solar neutrino problem with kamLAND and BOREXINO
We analyze the expected signals of two future neutrino experiments, kamLAND
and BOREXINO. We show that with just these experiments, we will hopefully be
able to determine which of the existing solutions to the solar neutrino problem
is the real solution. We also analyze existing solar neutrino data and
determine the best-fit points in the oscillation-parameter space finding that
with the inclusion of SNO-charged current, the global-rates analysis gives a
favored LMA solution with a goodness of fit (g.o.f) of just 32.63%, whereas the
g.o.f of the SMA solution is 9.83%. Nonetheless, maximal and quasi-maximal
mixing is not favored. If we include the Superkamiokande spectrum in our \chi^2
analysis, we obtain a LMA solution with a g.o.f. of 84.38%.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, Talk given at 37th Rencontres de Moriond on

The solar neutrino puzzle: present situation and future scenarios
We present a short review of the existing evidence in favor of neutrino mass
and neutrino oscillations which come from different kinds of experiments. We
focus our attention in particular on solar neutrinos, presenting a global
updated phenomenological analysis of all the available data and we comment on
different possible future scenarios.Comment: 22 pp. Expanded version of the contribution to appear in the

After Sno and Before Kamland: Present and Future of Solar and Reactor Neutrino Physics
We present a short review of the existing evidence in favor of neutrino mass
and neutrino oscillations which come from different kinds of experiments. We
focus our attention in particular on solar neutrinos, presenting a review of
some recent analysis of all available neutrino oscillation evidence in Solar
experiments including the recent and data. We present in detail
the power of the reactor experiment KamLAND for discriminating existing
solutions to the SNP and giving accurate information on neutrino masses and
mixing angles.Comment: Expanded version of the contribution to appear in the Proceedings of
