Quantum Flux and Reverse Engineering of Quantum Wavefunctions
An interpretation of the probability flux is given, based on a derivation of
its eigenstates and relating them to coherent state projections on a quantum
wavefunction. An extended definition of the flux operator is obtained using
coherent states. We present a "processed Husimi" representation, which makes
decisions using many Husimi projections at each location. The processed Husimi
representation reverse engineers or deconstructs the wavefunction, yielding the
underlying classical ray structure. Our approach makes possible interpreting
the dynamics of systems where the probability flux is uniformly zero or
strongly misleading. The new technique is demonstrated by the calculation of
particle flow maps of the classical dynamics underlying a quantum wavefunction.Comment: Accepted to EP
Energy spectra of 3He-rich solar energetic particles associated with coronal waves
In addition to their anomalous abundances, 3He-rich solar energetic particles
(SEPs) show puzzling energy spectral shapes varying from rounded forms to power
laws where the later are characteristics of shock acceleration. Solar sources
of these particles have been often associated with jets and narrow CMEs, which
are the signatures of magnetic reconnection involving open field. Recent
reports on new associations with large-scale EUV waves bring new insights on
acceleration and transport of 3He-rich SEPs in the corona. We examined energy
spectra for 32 3He-rich SEP events observed by ACE at L1 near solar minimum in
2007-2010 and compared the spectral shapes with solar flare signatures obtained
from STEREO EUV images. We found the events with jets or brightenings tend to
be associated with rounded spectra and the events with coronal waves with power
laws. This suggests that coronal waves may be related to the unknown second
stage mechanism commonly used to interpret spectral forms of 3He-rich SEPs.Comment: Presented at 15th Annual International Astrophysics Conference "The

Arkansas Wheat Cultivar Performance Tests 2016-2017
Wheat cultivar performance tests are conducted each year in Arkansas by the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture’s Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, Department of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences. The tests provide information to companies developing cultivars and marketing seed within the state and aid the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service in formulating cultivar recommendations for small-grain producers
Arkansas Wheat Cultivar Performance Tests 2018-2019
Wheat cultivar performance tests are conducted each year in Ark- ansas by the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture’s Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, Department of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences. The tests provide information to companies developing cultivars and marketing seed within the state and aid the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service in formulating cultivar recommendations for small-grain producers. The tests are conducted at the Northeast Research and Extension Center at Keiser, the Vegetable Substation near Kibler, the Lon Mann Cotton Research Station near Marianna, the Newport Extension Center near Newport, the Rohwer Research Station near Rohwer, the Pine Tree Research Station near Colt, and the Hope Research and Extension Center. In addition, entries are evaluated in a stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici) inoculated nursery in Fayetteville and a Fusarium head blight (FHB) inoculated nursery in Newport and Fayetteville. Specific location and cultural practice information accompany each table
Arm cavity resonant sideband control for laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors
We present a new optical control scheme for a laser interferometric gravitational wave detector that has a high degree of tolerance to interferometer spatial distortions and noise on the input light. The scheme involves resonating the rf sidebands in an interferometer arm cavity
