Study of data entry requirements at Marshall Space Flight Computation Center
An economic and systems analysis of a data center was conducted. Current facilities for data storage of documentation are shown to be inadequate and outmoded for efficient data handling. Redesign of documents, condensation of the keypunching operation, upgrading of hardware, and retraining of personnel are the solutions proposed to improve the present data system
High resolution Ge/Li/ spectrometer reduces rate-dependent distortions at high counting rates
Modified spectrometer system with a low-noise preamplifier reduces rate-dependent distortions at high counting rates, 25,000 counts per second. Pole-zero cancellation minimizes pulse undershoots due to multiple time constants, baseline restoration improves resolution and prevents spectral shifts
Fast and robust spin manipulation in a quantum dot by electric fields
We apply an invariant-based inverse engineering method to control by
time-dependent electric fields electron spin dynamics in a quantum dot with
spin-orbit coupling in a weak magnetic field. The designed electric fields
provide a shortcut to adiabatic processes that flips the spin rapidly, thus
avoiding decoherence effects. This approach, being robust with respect to the
device-dependent noise, can open new possibilities for the spin-based quantum
information processing.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, with supplemental material. Errors in the

Evidence for ammonium-bearing minerals in Ceres
Evidence for ammonium-bearing minerals was found on the surface of the largest asteroid Ceres. The presence of ammonium-bearing clays suggests that Ceres has experienced a period of alteration by substantial amounts of an ammonium-bearing fluid. The presence of the ammonium-bearing clays does not preclude Ceres maintaining a volatile inventory in the core or in a volatile-rich zone at some distance below the surface. Telescopic observations of Ceres, using the 3.0 meter NASA Infrared telescope facility prompted this reevaluation of its surface mineralogy
A homological interpretation of the transverse quiver Grassmannians
In recent articles, the investigation of atomic bases in cluster algebras
associated to affine quivers led the second-named author to introduce a variety
called transverse quiver Grassmannian and the first-named and third-named
authors to consider the smooth loci of quiver Grassmannians. In this paper, we
prove that, for any affine quiver Q, the transverse quiver Grassmannian of an
indecomposable representation M is the set of points N in the quiver
Grassmannian of M such that Ext^1(N,M/N)=0. As a corollary we prove that the
transverse quiver Grassmannian coincides with the smooth locus of the
irreducible components of minimal dimension in the quiver Grassmannian.Comment: final version, 7 pages, corollary 1.2 has been modifie
