B_K from improved staggered quarks
We compare calculations of B_K with improved staggered quarks (HYP, Asqtad)
and demonstrate the improved scaling behaviour that this gives rise to over
previous calculations with unimproved staggered quarks. This enables us to
perform the calculation of B_K on the MILC dynamical configurations (n_f=2+1),
for which we give preliminary results.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures. Talk presented at Lattice 2004(weak), Fermilab,

Rare B decays using lattice QCD form factors
In this write-up we review and update our recent lattice QCD calculation of
, , and form factors [arXiv:1310.3722].
These unquenched calculations, performed in the low-recoil kinematic regime,
provide a significant improvement over the use of extrapolated light cone sum
rule results. The fits presented here include further kinematic constraints and
estimates of additional correlations between the different form factor shape
parameters. We use these form factors along with Standard Model determinations
of Wilson coefficients to give Standard Model predictions for several
observables [arXiv:1310.3887]. The modest improvements to the form factor fits
lead to improved determinations of , the fraction of longitudinally
polarized vector mesons, but have little effect on most other observables
Who Is Conducting âBetterâ Employment Interviews? Antecedents of Structured Interview Components Use
The employment interview remains a unique paradox. One the one hand, decades of research demonstrates that using more structured components (e.g., question consistency, evaluation standardization) can largely improve the psychometric properties of interviews. On the other hand, although interviews are almost universally used, many interviewers still resist using structured formats. We examined the use of seven structure components by 131 professional interviewers, and their association with three types of antecedents: interviewersâ background (e.g., experience, training), the focus of the interview (selection vs. recruitment), and interviewersâ personality (based on the HEXACO model). Interviewersâ background (i.e., training) and the focus of the interview were largely associated with the use of question sophistication, question consistency, note-taking, or evaluation standardization. Personality (i.e., extraversion) was mostly associated with rapport-building or probing. Our findings highlight the importance of providing formal training to interviewers, but suggest that attempting to eliminate less-structured components could encounter resistance from some interviewers
Baryonic sources using irreducible representations of the double-covered octahedral group
Irreducible representations (IRs) of the double-covered octahedral group are
used to construct lattice source and sink operators for three-quark baryons.
The goal is to achieve a good coupling to higher spin states as well as ground
states. Complete sets of local and nonlocal straight-link operators are
explicitly shown for isospin 1/2 and 3/2 baryons. The orthogonality relations
of the IR operators are confirmed in a quenched lattice simulation.Comment: Talk presented at Lattice2004(heavy), Fermilab, June 21-26, 2004, 3

P-wave meson properties with Wilson quarks
We describe two calculations involving P-wave mesons made of Wilson quarks:
the strong coupling constant in the presence of two flavors of light
dynamical fermions and the mass and decay constant of the meson.Comment: Poster presented at Lattice '94, September 27--October 1, 1994,

A computational investigation of the finite-time blow-up of the 3D incompressible Euler equations based on the Voigt regularization
Submitted to Physical Review LettersThis first draft of this paper, submitted to Physical Review Letters, made a strong statement about the possibility of finite-time blow up in the Euler Equations. This paper had controversial peer review and was withdrawn from PRL and submitted to Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics where it was accepted, but with a weaker statement about the possibility of finite-time blow up in the Euler-Equations.The accepted version of this paper - accepted for publication in 2017 in Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics - is in ORE at http://hdl.handle.net/10871/27195We report the results of a computational investigation of two recently proved blow-up criteria for the 3D incompressible Euler equations. These criteria are based on an inviscid regularization of the Euler equations known as the 3D Euler-Voigt equations. The latter are known to be globally well-posed. Moreover, simulations of the 3D Euler-Voigt equations also require less resolution than simulations of the 3D Euler equations for fixed values of the regularization parameter α>0. Therefore, the new blow-up criteria allow one to gain information about possible singularity formation in the 3D Euler equations indirectly; namely, by simulating the better-behaved 3D Euler-Voigt equations. The new criteria are only known to be sufficient criteria for blow-up. Therefore, to test the robustness of the inviscid-regularization approach, we also investigate analogous criteria for blow-up of the 1D Burgers equation, where blow-up is well-known to occur
