An Ace For Visually-impaired Students In Computer Science

02.12.2008 10:04    sciencedaily.com
Many computing luminaries, such as Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, have an early experience in common -- an engaging experience in middle school or high school that sparked an excitement for learning everything they could about computers. Today, many young

MBA students partner with national lab scientists to commercialize clean tech

02.12.2008 09:42    berkeley.edu
Bringing clean tech innovations into the marketplace faster is the purpose of a new partnership launched this fall between scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and students of the Berkeley Energy and Resources Collaborative, an interdisciplinary organization founded by

Lefthanded children suffer in school

Feasibility of free space quantum key distribution with coherent polarization states. (arXiv:0811.4756v1 [quant-ph] CROSS LISTED)

02.12.2008 09:40    arxiv.org
We demonstrate for the first time the feasibility of free space quantum keydistribution with continuous variables under real atmospheric conditions. Morespecifically, we transmit coherent polarization states over a 100m free spacechannel on the roof of our institute's building. In our

Extremum complexity in the monodimensional ideal gas: the piecewise uniform density distribution approximation. (arXiv:0811.4749v1 [nlin.CD] CROSS LISTED)

02.12.2008 09:40    arxiv.org
In this work, it is suggested that the extremum complexity distribution of ahigh dimensional dynamical system can be interpreted as a piecewise uniformdistribution in the phase space of its accessible states. When thesedistributions are expressed as one--particle distribution functions, this

Threshold of a Photonic Random Laser with Cold Atoms. (arXiv:0812.0266v1 [physics.atom-ph])

02.12.2008 09:40    arxiv.org
We address the problem of achieving a photonic random laser with a cloud ofcold atoms, in which gain and scattering are provided by the same atoms. Thelasing threshold can be defined using the on-resonance optical thickness b0 asa single critical

Descriptor approach for eliminating spurious eigenvalues in hydrodynamic equations. (arXiv:0705.1542v2 [physics.comp-ph] UPDATED)

02.12.2008 09:40    arxiv.org
We describe a general framework for avoiding spurious eigenvalues --unphysical unstable eigenvalues that often occur in hydrodynamic stabilityproblems. In two example problems, we show that when system stability isanalyzed numerically using {\em descriptor} notation, spurious eigenvalues areeliminated. Descriptor notation is

Using spin 1/2 particle elastic scattering on a fixed target, in a 1/|x|potential on Euclidean metric, a minimum scattering cross section appears fromthe spin contribution. Interpreted as semi-classical limit of an earlierproposed operator formulation of four dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity,using
