Ghost propagator and the Coulomb form factor from the lattice
We calculate the Coulomb ghost propagator G(|p|) and the static Coulomb
potential V_C(|r|) for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory on the lattice. In view of
possible scaling violations related to deviations from the Hamiltonian limit we
use anisotropic lattices to improve the temporal resolution. We find that the
ghost propagator is infrared enhanced with an exponent kappa_gh ~ 0.5 while the
Coulomb potential exhibits a string tension larger than the Wilson string
tension, sigma_C ~ 2 sigma. This agrees with the Coulomb "scaling" scenario
derived from the Gribov-Zwanziger confinement mechanism.Comment: 23 pages, 5 figures. Some issues clarified and extended, references

Pressure ramp programmer; IMBLMS Phase B4 Additional Tasks: Task 3.0 pressure ramp programmer
A pressure ramp programmer model was designed, fabricated and tested. This model, in conjunction with an automatic blood pressure monitor, automatically controls the pressure in the blood pressure monitor arterial cuff. The cuff pressurization cycle is designed to maximize accuracy and repeatability of blood pressure measurements. The key feature of this automatic cycle is rapid blood pressure cuff bleed down from an initial setting until systolic (diastolic) pressure is encountered followed by a short repressurization and slow bleed, long enough to permit accurate systolic (diastolic) pressure determination. The system includes a pressure reservoir which bleeds the cuff through a precision needle valve; a solenoid valve which permits rapid pressurization from the reservoir; and a pressure sensor which provides information for bleed rate and set point controls. Korotkoff sound signals from a microphone in the blood pressure cuff (not part of the system) provide decision information to the digital control system. The system completed a series of engineering tests using simulated Korotkoff sound inputs. The system performed successfully in all cases and was stable over an extended period of time
