Rhetoric and the origins of the human sciences: A Foucauldian tale untold
Image display system 511
The experience of the Idaho Department of Water Resources Remote Sensing Unit in bringing on line their System 511 is described. The system 511 is run on a PDP minicomputer. The minimum system hardware configuration is an 11/34 with a minimum core of 128 K word, 10 megabytes of direct access disk and a floating point processor. The required software configuration is an RSX 11M V 3.2 operating system with a FORTRAN IV plus compiler. The structure of System 511 is a series of hierarchical modular software units. Problems occurring during the systems installation are discussed, and the system operating and error detection capabilities and documentation evaluated
Quivers, curves, and the tropical vertex
Elements of the tropical vertex group are formal families of
symplectomorphisms of the 2-dimensional algebraic torus. Commutators in the
group are related to Euler characteristics of the moduli spaces of quiver
representations and the Gromov-Witten theory of toric surfaces. After a short
survey of the subject (based on lectures of Pandharipande at the 2009 Geometry
summer school in Lisbon), we prove new results about the rays and symmetries of
scattering diagrams of commutators (including previous conjectures by
Gross-Siebert and Kontsevich). Where possible, we present both the quiver and
Gromov-Witten perspectives.Comment: 43 page

Poisoning of Hydrogen Dissociation at Pd (100) by Adsorbed Sulfur Studied by ab initio Quantum Dynamics and ab initio Molecular Dynamics
We report calculations of the dissociative adsorption of H_2 at Pd (100)
covered with 1/4 monolayer of sulfur using quantum dynamics as well as
molecular dynamics and taking all six degrees of freedom of the two H atoms
fully into account. The ab initio potential-energy surface (PES) is found to be
very strongly corrugated. In particular we discuss the influence of tunneling,
zero-point vibrations, localization of the nuclei's wave function when narrow
valleys of the PES are passed, steering of the approaching H_2 molecules
towards low energy barrier configurations, and the time scales of the center of
mass motion and the other degrees of freedom. Several ``established'' concepts,
which were derived from low-dimensional dynamical studies, are shown to be not
valid.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Surf. Sci. Lett. Other related

Spin and angular momentum in the nucleon
Using the covariant spectator theory (CST), we present the results of a
valence quark-diquark model calculation of the nucleon structure function f(x)
measured in unpolarized deep inelastic scattering (DIS), and the structure
functions g1(x) and g2(x) measured in DIS using polarized beams and targets.
Parameters of the wave functions are adjusted to fit all the data. The fit
fixes both the shape of the wave functions and the relative strength of each
component. Two solutions are found that fit f(x) and g1(x), but only one of
these gives a good description of g2(x). This fit requires the nucleon CST wave
functions contain a large D-wave component (about 35%) and a small P-wave
component (about 0.6%). The significance of these results is discussed.Comment: 27 pages; 13 figure
