Creation and characterization of vortex clusters in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates
We show that a moving obstacle, in the form of an elongated paddle, can
create vortices that are dispersed, or induce clusters of like-signed vortices
in 2D Bose-Einstein condensates. We propose new statistical measures of
clustering based on Ripley's K-function which are suitable to the small size
and small number of vortices in atomic condensates, which lack the huge number
of length scales excited in larger classical and quantum turbulent fluid
systems. The evolution and decay of clustering is analyzed using these
measures. Experimentally it should prove possible to create such an obstacle by
a laser beam and a moving optical mask. The theoretical techniques we present
are accessible to experimentalists and extend the current methods available to
induce 2D quantum turbulence in Bose-Einstein condensates.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figure

Dynamic quantum clustering: a method for visual exploration of structures in data
A given set of data-points in some feature space may be associated with a
Schrodinger equation whose potential is determined by the data. This is known
to lead to good clustering solutions. Here we extend this approach into a
full-fledged dynamical scheme using a time-dependent Schrodinger equation.
Moreover, we approximate this Hamiltonian formalism by a truncated calculation
within a set of Gaussian wave functions (coherent states) centered around the
original points. This allows for analytic evaluation of the time evolution of
all such states, opening up the possibility of exploration of relationships
among data-points through observation of varying dynamical-distances among
points and convergence of points into clusters. This formalism may be further
supplemented by preprocessing, such as dimensional reduction through singular
value decomposition or feature filtering.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figure
Agricultural development in the north Kimberley : terms, conditions and farm size recommendations
There are approximately 1,250,000 hectares of land in this area of Kimberley which may be sown to pastures such as Townsville Stylo, other Stylosanthes species or to other introduced pastures. The report recommends that grazing properties comprising 10,000 ha. of land capable of growing improved pastures, together with 60,000 ha. of native pasture land, should be established in the area. The economic size of the farm unit is 5,300 adult cattle equivalents
Visit of working party on North Kimberley Agricultural Development to the area in July 1977
Report suggests that the area of land suitable for Townsville Stylo in the North Kimberley above the 750 mm rainfall isohyet is about 1.25 million hectares. The regions in which land suitable for Stylosanthes can be found are shown. A brief description of the suitability of the land systems of the region for Stylosanthes is given
Two-dimensional supersolidity in a planar dipolar Bose gas
We investigate the crystalline stationary states of a dipolar Bose-Einstein
condensate in a planar trapping geometry. Our focus is on the ground state
phase diagram in the thermodynamic limit, where triangular, honeycomb and
stripe phases occur. We quantify the superfluid fraction by calculating the
non-classical translational inertia, which allows us to identify favorable
parameter regimes for observing supersolid ground states. We develop two
simplified theories to approximately describe the ground states, and consider
the relationship to roton softening in the uniform ground state. This also
allows us to extend the phase diagram to the low density regime. While the
triangular and honeycomb states have an isotropic superfluid response tensor,
the stripe state exhibits anisotropic superfluidity.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure
Spatially embedded random networks
Many real-world networks analyzed in modern network theory have a natural spatial element; e.g., the Internet, social networks, neural networks, etc. Yet, aside from a comparatively small number of somewhat specialized and domain-specific studies, the spatial element is mostly ignored and, in particular, its relation to network structure disregarded. In this paper we introduce a model framework to analyze the mediation of network structure by spatial embedding; specifically, we model connectivity as dependent on the distance between network nodes. Our spatially embedded random networks construction is not primarily intended as an accurate model of any specific class of real-world networks, but rather to gain intuition for the effects of spatial embedding on network structure; nevertheless we are able to demonstrate, in a quite general setting, some constraints of spatial embedding on connectivity such as the effects of spatial symmetry, conditions for scale free degree distributions and the existence of small-world spatial networks. We also derive some standard structural statistics for spatially embedded networks and illustrate the application of our model framework with concrete examples
