Leadership: The Tabletop Concept
Applying the analogy of the four supporting pillars of support for a table — and thus, in similar fashion with a true and lasting, moral leader — Hagelberg discusses how four leadership principles in particular – integrity, competence, emotional intelligence, and vision – are the four essential traits of successful and lasting leadership
Two Classes of Hot Jupiters
We identify two classes of transiting planet, based on their equilibrium
temperatures and Safronov numbers. We examine various possible explanations for
the dichotomy. It may reflect the influence of planet or planetesimal
scattering in determining when planetary migration stops. Another possibility
is that some planets lose more mass to evaporation than others. If this
evaporation process preferentially removes Helium from the planet, the
consequent reduction in the mean molecular weight may explain why some planets
have anomalously large radii.Comment: 35 pages, 16 figures in Preprint format. Submitted to Ap

Diagonal Slice Four-Wave Mixing: Natural Separation of Coherent Broadening Mechanisms
We present an ultrafast coherent spectroscopy data acquisition scheme that
samples slices of the time domain used in multidimensional coherent
spectroscopy to achieve faster data collection than full spectra. We derive
analytical expressions for resonance lineshapes using this technique that
completely separate homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening contributions into
separate projected lineshapes for arbitrary inhomogeneous broadening. These
lineshape expressions are also valid for slices taken from full
multidimensional spectra and allow direct measurement of the parameters
contributing to the lineshapes in those spectra as well as our own
Closed-loop Reference Models for Output-Feedback Adaptive Systems
Closed-loop reference models have recently been proposed for states
accessible adaptive systems. They have been shown to have improved transient
response over their open loop counter parts. The results in the states
accessible case are extended to single input single output plants of arbitrary
relative degree.Comment: v1 Submitted to European Control Conference 2013, v2 Typos correcte
