Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has thanked the club's fans for their support following a "really tough" season.
Wigan's midweek defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium ensured that Villa entered the final day certain of their Premier League status, despite having languished in the drop zone for much of the campaign.
And, after his side rounded off their season with an entertaining 2-2 draw against Roberto Martinez's men, the Scot was full of praise for the Midlands outfit's supporters.
"I think the biggest yardstick is the supporters," he said. "They've been fantastic with us and I think they'll know we'll keep on building.
"It's been a really hard season, really tough, especially around Christmas where we couldn't get a win. The big thing for me was that the crowd stayed with us."
Darren Bent had given Villa an early lead, only for an Emmerson Boyce header and a Nathan Baker own goal to see Lambert's side go into the break 2-1 down.
But Ron Vlaar's superb volley on the hour mark earned Villa a point and Lambert was keen to underline the importance of the central defender to his side.
"In the last four or five months he's been great for us," he said.
"We've played ever so well and we're getting better and better. The game was a really good game for the last day."
Lambert went on to express his desire to keep moving the club forward throughout the summer and into the new campaign.
"Every club will be busy trying to do things," he said.
"We have set a standard that we've got to try and maintain and get better, and to do that you've got to try and keep building your squad and keep the belief in your own philosophy. That's what I'll try to do.
"Because we were in a transitional period we knew we had to come through it. If we hadn't done what we've done I think the club would have kept on sliding. We had to strip it right back and get it going.
"I'll sit with everybody next week. We'll speak about everything, what's going to happen, and we'll try and keep moving the club forward, that's my job.
"Some of the lads have played well over 30 games so they'll know what to expect next year. It augers well for the future; the philosophy is set in the club and we'll keep driving it on. I'm delighted for everybody at the football club."
Lambert also paid tribute to Stiliyan Petrov, who last week announced his retirement from football as he continues his battle against acute leukaemia.
Petrov was invited to sit on the bench at the DW Stadium, and Lambert admitted it was an emotional afternoon.
"That was nearly a tear jerker that one," he said.
"It was tough, it was great, and everyone gave him a great reception. It was an emotional moment, you can see how he feels about the crowd, and everyone gave him a richly deserved round of applause.
"I wanted him around; he came into the dressing room before the game, to give him the feeling of what it's like to be in a dressing room again."

Fishbone mode excitation in the ion kinetic regime4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872445View Description Hide Description
By solving the dispersion relation in the ion kinetic regime, it is found that the threshold of the plasma beta value for exciting the ion-fishbone mode is lowered. Thus, for most of the present-day tokamaks where the Bussac criterion [Bussac et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 35, 1638 (1975)] is not satisfied, it will still be possible to excite the ion-fishbone mode.
Production of sheared flow during ion cyclotron resonance heating in tokamak plasmas4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872446View Description Hide Description
An approach of producing the poloidal ion rotation by using ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) is presented in core tokamak plasmas. The mechanism employed here is inducing a poloidal density inhomogeneity by rf cyclotron heating and then destabilizing the anomalous Stringer spin-up. A criterion for destabilization of the poloidal ion rotation in the presence of a rfwave is given, which depends on the ratio of the characteristic time of inhomogeneous density formation to the ion collision time. The numerical results have shown that the poloidal ion rotation can be destabilized in the present ICRH power level.
An electrostatic magnetohydrodynamics theory for resistive-viscous helical instabilities of arc discharges4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872411View Description Hide Description
A simplified linear analysis for resistive-viscous magnetic helical instabilities of arc discharges in a cylindrical plasma is developed. Based on a set of electrostatic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)equations, resistive-viscous modes with an external axial magnetic field are studied. Explicit analytic results are obtained, from which the growth rate and the stability criterion can be shown, and the electrostatic assumption can be justified. In comparison with the previous channel model calculations, this analytic treatment can provide a simplified model for instability estimates, while avoiding artificial assumptions and misorderings in the energy equation.
Effects of various forces on the distribution of particles at the boundary of a dusty plasma4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872412View Description Hide Description
The distribution and suspension of dust particles under the action of electrostatic, gravitational, ion-drag and neutral collision forces are investigated near the boundary of a dusty plasma. It is shown that the competition among the forces results in spatial oscillations (multi-layer) of the particle distribution. For sub-micron grains the ion-drag has a significant effect on the grain dynamics while for micrometer sized grains the gravity quickly dominates over other forces. The effect of the neutral gas flux is to enhance or diminish that of the gravity while the effect of the neutral viscosity is to shift the profile toward the wall. Under the force balance, the particles are suspended in a narrow region with sharp boundaries within the sheath.
Electric field spikes formed by electron beam–plasma interaction in plasma density gradients4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872413View Description Hide Description
In the electron beam–plasma interaction at an electric double layer the beam density is much higher than in the classical beam–plasma experiments. The wave propagation takes place along the density gradient that is present at the high potential side of the double layer. Such a case is studied experimentally by injecting the electron beam from a plane cathode, without any grids suppressing the gradient, and by particle simulations. The high frequency field concentrates in a sharp "spike" with a half width of the order of one wavelength. The spike is found to be a standing wave surrounded by regions dominated by propagating waves. It forms at a position where its frequency is close to the local plasma frequency. The spike forms also when the electric field is well below the threshold for modulational instability, and long before a density cavity is formed in the simulations. Particle simulations reveal that, at the spike, there is a backward traveling wave that, when it is strongly damped, accelerates electrons back towards the cathode. In a simulation of a homogeneous plasma without the density gradient no spike is seen, and the wave is purely travelling instead of standing.
The dust charging effect on electrostatic ion waves in a dusty plasma with trapped electrons4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872414View Description Hide Description
The effect of the dust charging and the influence of the ion density and temperature on electrostatic nonlinear ion waves in a dusty plasma having trapped electrons are investigated by numerical calculation. The nonlinear structure of the dust charging is examined, and it is shown that the characteristics of the dust charge number sensitively depend on the electrostatic potential, Mach number, trapped electrontemperature, ion density, and temperature. An increase of the ion temperature decreases the dust charging rate and the propagation speed of ion waves. It turns out that a decrease of the trapped electrontemperature increases the charging rate of dust grains. It is found that the existence of ion waves sensitively depends on the ion to electron density ratio. New findings of variable-charge dust grain particles, ion density, and temperature in a dusty plasma with trapped electrons are predicted.
Direct magnetic field measurement of flow dynamics in magnetized coaxial accelerator channels4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872415View Description Hide Description
A miniature magnetic probe array, consisting of ten spatially separated coils, has been used to obtain profile information on the time-varying magnetic field within the 2.54 cm wide flow channel of the Coaxial Plasma Source experiment (CPS-1) [R. M. Mayo et al., Plasma Sources Sci. Technol. 4, 47 (1995)] at the North Carolina State University. Two-dimensional (2-D) current profiles within the annular flow channel, which were constructed from the time-varying magnetic field data, reveal several complex features reflecting the influence of gun inductance, the Hall effect, and the applied magnetic field. When an external, electrode linking magnetic field is applied, the evolution of the 2-D current profile shows evidence of an ionizing shock front identified by a narrow current sheet propagating through the channel during the first few microseconds of the discharge. The thickness of this current sheet is on the same order as both the collisional mean-free path and the ion electromagnetic skin depth. In this applied field case, the plasma is prevented from advancing ahead of the current sheet by the applied magnetic field, which turns the ions and electrons without collisions. In the absence of an applied field, plasma is able to advance ahead of the current sheet, where it may initiate ionization downstream before the advance of the ionization front.
Ionization-induced frequency up-shift of a high-power microwave interacting with a plasma4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872416View Description Hide Description
The propagation of an intense electromagnetic wave (EMW), of frequency 9 GHz, in an underdense, near critical, inhomogeneous plasma ( ) leads to an up-shift of the EMW frequency of a few MHz. The injected EMW with power, and with pulse duration of 1 μs, produces additional ionization of the neutral argon gas through the heating of plasma electrons. The increase of plasma density, which can reach during the EMW pulse several tens of percents in relative value, leads to a modulation in time of the spatial phase of the EMW. Experimental results for the evolution in space and in time of density, electric field, and frequency shift are compared to a simple nonlinear model of EMW propagation in a plasma, which takes into account the additional ionization due to the absorption of the EMW.
Intermittent self-organization: Nonlinear responses of twisting multiple flux tubes4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872417View Description Hide Description
A new type of self-organization is presented where a system evolves intermittently and undergoes self-adaptively local maxima and minima of energy state. Numerical study of nonlinear interactions of twisting multiple flux tubes have shown that each flux tube suffers from a helical kink instability, resulting in the formation of a knotted structure. The knotted deformation stimulates reconnection with a neighboring flux tube whereby kinetic and thermal energies are impulsively and markedly released. Repeating reconnection intermittently with surrounding field lines, the whole structure returns to the more or less originally separated flux tubes and thereafter repeats an intermittent and recursive evolution. All these results lead to a working hypothesis that in an open complex nonlinear system where energy is externally and continuously supplied, the system exhibits an intermittent self-organization, self-adapting local maxima and minima of energy state alternatively in temporal evolution. The present work will also forecast this as some essential concept to an energy conversion problem such as solar flares.
Bäcklund transformations and Painlevé analysis: Exact solutions for the nonlinear isothermal magnetostatic atmospheres4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872418View Description Hide Description
The equations of magnetohydrostatic equilibria for a plasma in a gravitational field are investigated analytically. For equilibria with one ignorable spatial coordinate, the equations reduce to a single nonlinear elliptic equation for the magnetic potential μ̃, known as the Grad–Shafranov equation. Specifying the arbitrary functions in the latter equation, one gets the nonlinear elliptic equation. Analytical solutions of the elliptic equation are obtained for the case of a nonlinear isothermal atmosphere in a uniform gravitational field. The solutions are obtained by using the Bäcklund transformations technique and Painlevé analysis, which are adequate for describing parallel filaments of diffuse, magnetized plasma suspended horizontally in equilibrium in a uniform gravitational field.
Passive particle dynamics in a flow exhibiting transition to turbulence4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872577View Description Hide Description
The behavior of a passive particle in a flow that exhibits bifurcations in the transition to a turbulent regime is investigated. The flow considered is a variant of the Charney–Hasegawa–Mima equation. The scalar particle dynamics is considered for different regimes of the main flow. A regime of anomalous diffusion (hypodiffusion) is observed when the field has few harmonics whereas normal diffusion occurs in the strange attractor regime. The analysis of the singular orbit reveals the presence of traps and flights that control the transport.
Compressible magnetohydrodynamic Kelvin–Helmholtz instability with vortex pairing in the two-dimensional transverse configuration4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872419View Description Hide Description
For a two-dimensional (2-D) transverse configuration, where the plasma motion occurs in a 2-D plane transverse to the magnetic field, the nonlinear evolution of the magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) Kelvin–Helmholtz (K–H) instability is investigated by means of a 2-D MHD simulation for a convective fast magnetosonic Mach number 0.35, which is defined for the total jump of the flow velocity. The compressibility and the nonzero baroclinic vector are shown to violate the conservation of the enstrophy for the 2-D MHD transverse configuration and for the 2-D fluid motion. After the nonlinear saturation of the linearly fastest growing vortices, the vortices continue to coalesce until no more vortex pairing is allowed, owing to a finite length of the simulation system. The plasma inside the vortex is rarefied strongly by the fast magnetosonic rarefaction and each vortex is associated with an eddy current, which is inertia current in nature. The plasma flow velocity is enhanced at the periphery of the vortex and the net momentum transport and shear relaxation by the instability occur as long as the vortex pairing continues. Anomalous viscosity by the K–H instability increases with the vortex pairing and its increase is due to the growth of subharmonic modes.
Formation of wave-front pattern accompanied by current-driven electrostatic ion-cyclotron instabilities4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872613View Description Hide Description
Formation of a wave-front pattern accompanied by an electrostatic ion-cyclotron instability driven by electrons drifting along a magnetic field is investigated by two-and-half dimensional particle simulations. A clear spatial wave-front pattern appears as the ion cyclotron wave grows due to the instability. When the electron stream is uniform in the system, an obliquely intersected stripe wave-front pattern is formed. When the stream has a bell-shaped pattern across the magnetic field, a V-shaped stripe wave-front pattern appears. The wave fronts have small angles with the magnetic field lines and propagate from the high-stream region to the low-stream region.
Rarefactive ion acoustic soliton excitation using a modulated high-frequency sinusoidal wave in a negative ion plasma4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872420View Description Hide Description
Experiments on the excitation of rarefactive ion acoustic solitons using a fine mesh grid in a negative ion plasma are described. The excitation is novel in that a modulated high-frequency sinusoidal wave voltage signal is applied to the grid. An interpretation of the velocity modulation and bunching of free-streaming ions that pass through the grid to which the signal is applied is given.
Magnetohydrodynamic stability of negative central magnetic shear, high pressure toroidal equilibria4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872421View Description Hide Description
The magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) stability of negative central magnetic shear toroidal equilibria with everywhere and is investigated. Here, is the safety factor of the equilibrium magnetic field in a torus with inverse aspect ratio , and is the ratio of the plasma pressure to the pressure in the poloidal magnetic field. At small , the elimination of the resonantsurface in a negative shear equilibrium greatly improves resistive MHD stability as compared to equilibria with a monotonic -profile containing a resonantsurface. However, at large , the reversal of the central magnetic shear and the elimination of the resonantsurface does not improve MHD stability. The existence, or non-existence, of rational magnetic surfaces has no impact on MHD stability when . Altering the current profile, and with it the -profile, does not affect MHD stability when is no longer small. Stability is not improved by vertical elongation of the plasma in the poloidal plane. The utilization of an external vertical magnetic field to move the magnetic axis in major radius also does not improve MHD stability.
Description of turbulent transport in tokamaks by invariants4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872422View Description Hide Description
In general, turbulenttransport drives a plasma toward a state of turbulent equipartition, in which Lagrangian invariants are uniformly distributed. Different invariants decay with different rates, and in tokamaks the frozen-in law of particles in the poloidal magnetic field survives longer than the corresponding law for the toroidal field, assuming that the trapped particles dominate the turbulenttransport. Therefore, the plasma profiles depend on the safety factor and the condition for convection of trapped particles is that the shear is positive. There are two ways to suppress this convection and thereby enhance confinement. The first one is to reverse the magnetic shear. The energy of typical trapped particles then increases outward instead of inward, which suppresses instabilities. The second method is to eliminate the trapped ions by poloidal rotation, and thereby create a transport barrier.
Plasma transport near the separatrix of a magnetic island4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872423View Description Hide Description
The simplest nontrivial model of transport across a magnetic island chain in the presence of collisionless streaming along the magnetic field is solved by a Wiener–Hopf procedure. The solution found is valid provided the boundary layer about the island separatrix is narrow compared to the island width. The result demonstrates that when this assumption is satisfied the flattened profile region is reduced by the boundary layer width. The calculation is similar to the recent work by Fitzpatrick [Phys. Plasmas 2, 825 (1995)] but is carried out in the collisionless, rather than the collisional, limit of parallel transport, and determines the plasma parameters on the separatrix self-consistently.
Simultaneous measurement of viscosity and flow velocity in Texas Experimental Tokamak-Upgrade (TEXT-U) edge plasmas by using a Visco-Mach probe4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872424View Description Hide Description
Shear viscosity] and parallel flow velocity of tokamak edge plasma were simultaneously measured in the Texas Experimental Tokamak-Upgrade (TEXT-U)tokamak by using a "Visco-Mach" probe with the iteration method (VMPI) [K-S. Chung, Nucl. Fusion 34, 1213 (1994)]. The VMPI was composed of two Mach probes measuring two ratios of ion saturation current densities, with the small Mach probe located within the free presheath generated by the large Mach probe (LMP). Radial variations of the normalized shear viscosity, α, and parallel Mach number, for typical discharges were deduced from two measured ratios of ion saturation current densities, and plasma density from ion saturation currents by LMP. Here α varied from 0.7 to 1.3 with an estimated error of and from 0 to 0.2 for where is the limiter radius. Also, α and increased with the radial direction, while cross-field diffusivity was approximately constant. Here is obtained as where a typical Bohm diffusivity is
Studies of transport scaling and reduction under feedback4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872425View Description Hide Description
A feedback control system using an ion beam as a remote suppressor has been previously shown to be very effective in suppressing plasma instabilities in the Columbia Linear Machine [G. A. Navratil et al., Plasma Phys. 24, 184 (1982)]. The first experimental measurements for the effect of this feedback system on anomalous particle transport, as determined from the cross-correlation of density and potential fluctuations is presented. It is shown that feedback reduces transport due to a rotational E×B mode by up to a factor of 3 in this experiment. Also, it was found that particle transport scales linearly with fluctuation amplitude and feedback control does not alter this scaling. Last, the experimentally observed scaling of particle transport does not agree with any theoretical predictions.
On the stabilization of neoclassical magnetohydrodynamic tearing modes using localized current drive or heating4(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.872426View Description Hide Description
The effectiveness of using localized current drive or heating to suppress the formation and growth of neoclassical magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) tearing modes is addressed. The most efficient way to use an auxiliary current source is to cause current to flow in the same direction as the equilibrium bootstrap current and phase the current relative to the magnetic island such that the current is deposited on the O-point of the island. Theoretical estimates for the amount of required current to suppress the formation of a large magnetic island is of order a few percent of the equilibrium current. If the suppression is successful, the magnetic island will saturate at a width of order the radial localization width of the current source. Localized heating at the O-point of the magnetic island can also produce stabilizing effects relative to magnetic island growth. The effects of the driven current or heating can be illustrated by using a phase diagram of the island growth.

U.S. Energy Department Offering up $4 Million to Develop Wireless EV Chargers

Funding winners will be announced this summer
There are many things keeping electric vehicles from entering the mainstream market today. Chief among those is limited driving range, high cost compared to a traditional vehicle, and hassles from having to plug the car in to charge at home and on the go. Electric vehicles will certainly get cheaper over the years as the technology matures, and battery breakthroughs will lengthen the driving range.
Now, the U.S. Energy Department is offering up to $4 million to develop
wireless chargers for electric vehicles
to address concerns with having to plug the vehicle for power. The goal is to develop wireless technology that would transfer power from the electric grid to the vehicle battery packs without the driver having to plug-in. The ability to simply pull into the garage or parking space and have your car automatically recharge would be a huge improvement over systems in place today.
The $4 million in funding is being made available through the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Vehicle Technologies Program. The program believes that by offering wireless charging technology, consumers will be more likely to purchase electric vehicles. The hope is to accelerate the development of wireless charging solutions in the near-term with the funding opportunity.
The Energy Department wants to select as many as four projects for research and development and wireless charging systems that can be integrated into a production vehicle and tested in the real world. The department hopes vehicles using this technology could be on the roads within this decade. Four million dollars doesn't sound like a lot of funding for as many as four projects.
The selections for funding are expected to be announced this summer. The charger will be aimed at operators of light duty electric vehicles primarily focusing on static and possibly quasi-dynamic charging. The program deadline for letters of intent is April 25 with a full application submission deadline set at May 31 of this year.
"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

Versa 2.0 Specification (Draft)
This is a top-level outline to serve as a placeholder for the Versa 2.0 specification. Much of the content here has been moved over from the old mailing list
Versa is a specialized language for addressing and querying nodes and arcs in a Resource Description Framework (RDF) model. It uses a simple and expressive syntax, designed to be incorporated into other expression systems, including XML, where, for instance, Versa can be used in extension functions or attributes of extension elements that provide RDF-related capabilities. Versa operates on the abstract graph model of RDF, and not any particular serialization.
Where used in this document, the keywords "SHOULD", "MUST", and "MUST NOT" are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. However, for readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification.

Today, the DC Public Library welcomed 117 new employees for orientation. The new hires support the library's new schedule for fiscal year 2014.
In keeping with the DC Language Access Act of 2004, the Library will update the public on the programs and services offered to the Spanish, Amharic, Chinese, Korean, French and Vietnamese speaking communities as outlined in the Language Access Plan for Fiscal Year 2013. The update will take place at the Board of Library Trustees meeting on Sept. 25 at 6 p.m.
This Saturday, the DC Public Library is showing all of the ways parents can help young children build their vocabularies, fall in love with reading and develop the skills needed for school -- beyond just books -- at the STAR (Sing, Talk and Read) Family Festival.Saturday's event is hosted by the Library and backed by research showing that conversations, gestures and interactions between parents/caregivers and children from birth builds a foundation for learning. The festival will promote ways to weave singing, talking and reading into daily activities.
Today The Small Press Expo (SPX) has named the District of Columbia Public Library the 2013 recipient of its Graphic Novel Gift Program. Two-hundred and fifty graphic novels, representing 63 different titles from 5 different publishers, will be added to the collections at the Rosedale and William O. Lockridge/Bellevue libraries.
Love your library? Love Chipotle? Library supporters who visit select Chipotle restaurants from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Aug. 20 will have 50 percent of the cost of their meal donated to the DC Public Library Foundation.
The DC Public Library is looking for a talented artist to leave their mark on the new Digital Commons. They are sponsoring a logo contest for the new the Dream Lab. The winning logo will be used in printed material, on the web site and on social media. The winner will receive a $500 Visa gift card.
When it comes to magazines, District library users prefer news and information over celebrity updates.In a review of magazines downloaded from the DC Public library "The Economist," "Consumer Reports," "Newsweek" and "National Geographic Interactive" were four of the five most popular magazines. Us Weekly was the only entertainment magazine in the top five.
Entrepreneurs, start-up ventures, tech novices, students and makers have a new place to see their ideas become reality. Today, the DC Public Library opened the Digital Commons, an 11,000 square-foot place to connect, collaborate and co-work using technology for free.
Research shows that talking about your day or telling a story, singing made-up songs or songs from the radio and reading children's books with young children all help build literacy skills and prepare them to learn when they go to school. Today, at the Dorothy I. Height/Benning Library, Mayor Vincent C. Gray launched a campaign to raise awareness of the important role parents and caregivers play in getting their children ready to learn. The Mayor was joined by D.C.
The DC Public Library's Adaptive Services Division has been named "Network Library of the Year" by the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, a division of the Library of Congress.Based in the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, the Adaptive Services Division was honored for its work promoting independent reading and learning; its innovative use of technology and its record of satisfied customers.

Two weeks. Two games. So far, a 2-0 record. Add it all together and you get one wild Philadelphia ride.
If you're an Eagles fan, you've winced watching the first couple of this season's games, fallen over when the defense fails and held your head when Michael Vick has thrown yet another interception (in the end zone no less).
Fasten your seat belts, Eagles nation.
If these first two weeks are any indication, this is going to be one heart-pounding ride, complete with thrilling play peaks and terrifying turnover plunges. Just hang on and keep your arms, legs and dissenting opinions inside until this Vick-driven vehicle comes to a full and complete 16-game stop.
For those on board the Eagles team trip, it's clear that Vick has his hands on the controls, sometimes making decisions that cause even seasoned analysts to offer advice. Like the remark made by a CBS commentator after a rough hit Vick sustained during the Ravens game: "You can't get your body bent in half like that! I mean, God love ya, Michael, for trying to make a play."
Watching Vick make seemingly risky plays in the midst of the fast-paced action, observers frequently wonder aloud: What is he thinking? Although we can't replay the mental steps behind a winning play, we can examine some of the optimal situations for him finding success in the red zone. Based on his seasons as a starter in Philly, here is an overview of conditions where Vick and the Eagles are apt to be hottest.

Introduction to the focus issue on granular materials9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166426View Description Hide Description
In a review paper [H. M. Jaeger, S. R. Nagel, and R. P. Behringer, "Granular solids,liquids and gases," Rev. Mod. Phys. 68, 1259–1273 (1996)] a few years ago, we wrote about granular material as a distinctive form of matter that exhibits behavior rather different from that of ordinary solids,liquids, or gases. We traced this distinction to three characteristic properties. First, the individual particles making up a granular material are typically large so that thermal energy is irrelevant compared to gravitational energy. Consequently, concepts from equilibrium statistical mechanics are often not applicable. Second, the interactions between particles are frictional and can be mobilized to different degrees depending on the preparation history, giving rise to memory effects, i.e., a static pile will remember how it was formed. Third, when particles collide they do so inelastically so that a "gas" of particles will slow down and come to rest in clumps. In the intervening years, the research on granular matter has progressed rapidly and this may be a good time to ask what we have learned since that article was written. In this spirit, the present special issue of the journal Chaos assembles a spectrum of papers discussing recent developments in the field.
Jamming and static stress transmission in granular materials9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166456View Description Hide Description
We have recently developed some simple continuum models of static granular media which display "fragile" behavior: They predict that the medium is unable to support certain types of infinitesimal load (which we call "incompatible" loads) without plastic rearrangement. We argue that a fragile description may be appropriate when the mechanical integrity of the medium arises adaptively, in response to a load, through an internal jamming process. We hypothesize that a network of force chains (or "granular skeleton") evolves until it can just support the applied load, at which point it comes to rest; it then remains intact so long as no incompatible load is applied. Our fragile models exhibits unusual mechanical responses involving hyperbolic equations for stress propagation along fixed characteristics through the material. These characteristics represent force chains; their arrangement expressly depends on the construction history. Thus, for example, we predict a large difference in the stress pattern beneath two conical piles of sand, one poured from a point source and one created by sieving.
Modeling of stress distribution in granular piles: Comparison with centrifuge experiments9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166427View Description Hide Description
The classical method to compute stress and strain distributions in granular materials is recalled using continuum mechanics approach, and different rheological laws described. It is recalled that granular materials exhibit highly nonlinear response such as nonlinear elasticity, dilatancy and plastic flow.Finite element technique is used to predict the stress field distribution below a conic and a triangular pile. The dependence of the stress distribution on the rheological law, the bottom boundary condition and the building process (horizontal or inclined strata) is demonstrated. These results are compared to experimental data obtained in centrifuge.
Contact forces in a granular packing9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166428View Description Hide Description
We present the results of a systematic numerical investigation of force distributions in granular packings. We find that all the main features of force transmission previously established for two-dimensional systems of hard particles hold in three-dimensional systems and for soft particles, too. In particular, the probability distribution of normal forces falls off exponentially for forces above the mean force. For forces below the mean, this distribution is either a decreasing power law when the system is far from static equilibrium, or nearly uniform at static equilibrium, in agreement with recent experiments. Moreover, we show that the forces below the mean do not contribute to the shear stress. The subnetwork of the contacts carrying a force below the mean thus plays a role similar to a fluid surrounding the solid backbone composed of the contacts carrying a force above the mean. We address the issue of the computation of contact forces in a packing at static equilibrium. We introduce a model with no local simplifying force rules, that allows for an exact computation of contact forces for given granular texture and boundary conditions.
Compactivity and transmission of stress in granular materials9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166429View Description Hide Description
We outline a statistical-mechanical theory of granular materials. Stress propagation and force fluctuations in static granular media are still poorly understood. We develop the statistical-mechanical theory that delivers the fundamental equations of stress equilibrium. The formalism is based on the assumptions that grains are rigid, cohesionless, and that friction is perfect. Since grains are assumed perfectly rigid, no strain or displacement field can enter the equations for static equilibrium of the stress field. The complete system of equations for the stress tensor is derived from the equations of intergranular force and torque balance, given the geometric specification of the material. These new constitutive equations are indeed fundamental and are based on relations between various components of the stress tensor within the material, and depend on the topology of the granular packing. The problem of incorporating into the formalism the "no tensile forces" constraint is considered. The compactivity concept is reviewed. We discuss the relation between the concept of compactivity and the problem of stress transmission.
Fluctuations in granular media9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166430View Description Hide Description
Dense slowly evolving or static granular materials exhibit strong force fluctuations even though the spatial disorder of the grains is relatively weak. Typically, forces are carried preferentially along a network of "force chains." These consist of linearly aligned grains with larger-than-average force. A growing body of work has explored the nature of these fluctuations. We first briefly review recent work concerning stress fluctuations. We then focus on a series of experiments in both two- and three-dimension [(2D) and (3D)] to characterize force fluctuations in slowly sheared systems. Both sets of experiments show strong temporal fluctuations in the local stress/force; the length scales of these fluctuations extend up to grains. In 2D, we use photoelastic disks that permit visualization of the internal force structure. From this we can make comparisons to recent models and calculations that predict the distributions of forces. Typically, these models indicate that the distributions should fall off exponentially at large force. We find in the experiments that the force distributions change systematically as we change the mean packing fraction, γ. For γ's typical of dense packings of nondeformable grains, we see distributions that are consistent with an exponential decrease at large forces. For both lower and higher γ, the observed force distributions appear to differ from this prediction, with a more Gaussian distribution at larger γ and perhaps a power law at lower γ. For high γ, the distributions differ from this prediction because the grains begin to deform, allowing more grains to carry the applied force, and causing the distributions to have a local maximum at nonzero force. It is less clear why the distributions differ from the models at lower γ. An exploration in γ has led to the discovery of an interesting continuous or "critical" transition (the strengthening/softening transition) in which the mean stress is the order parameter, and the mean packing fraction, γ, must be adjusted to a value to reach the "critical point." We also follow the motion of individual disks and obtain detailed statistical information on the kinematics, including velocities and particle rotations or spin. Distributions for the azimuthal velocity, and spin, of the particles are nearly rate invariant, which is consistent with conventional wisdom. Near the grain motion becomes intermittent causing the mean velocity of grains to slow down. Also, the length of stress chains grows as The 3D experiments show statistical rate invariance for the stress in the sense that when the power spectra and spectral frequencies of the stress time series are appropriately scaled by the shear rate, Ω, all spectra collapse onto a single curve for given particle and sample sizes. The frequency dependence of the spectra can be characterized by two different power laws, in the high and low frequency regimes: at high ω; at low ω. The force distributions computed from the 3D stress time series are at least qualitatively consistent with exponential fall-off at large stresses.
Axial segregation of granular materials9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166431View Description Hide Description
When mixtures of granular materials are rotated, it is often found that they segregate into bands, along the axis of rotation, which are rich in the various components. This effect is discussed experimentally and theoretically, with emphasis on a mechanism based on surfaceflow. The complimentary phenomenon of radial segregation is reviewed, and a mechanism is proposed. Finally, we consider the long-time behavior of rotating mixtures, particularly their anomolous coarsening.
Measurement of particle motions within tumbling granular flows9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166432View Description Hide Description
Flowing granular materials are complex, industrially important, and scientifically provocative. In this paper we report measurements of granular transport in 3-dimensional tumbling containers. We use magnetic resonance imaging techniques for direct tracking of particles and measure the interior flows of granular materials. One goal is to measure industrial mixer performance over a wide range of conditions. As the mixer geometries are relatively simple, such measurements could serve as incisive tests during development of better granular equations of motion.
Mixing and segregation of granular materials in chute flows9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166433View Description Hide Description
Mixing of granular solids is invariably accompanied by segregation, however, the fundamentals of the process are not well understood. We analyze density and size segregation in a chute flow of cohesionless spherical particles by means of computations and theory based on the transport equations for a mixture of nearly elastic particles. Computations for elastic particles (Monte Carlo simulations), nearly elastic particles, and inelastic, frictional particles (particle dynamics simulations) are carried out. General expressions for the segregation fluxes due to pressure gradients and temperature gradients are derived. Simplified equations are obtained for the limiting cases of low volume fractions (ideal gas limit) and equal sized particles. Theoretical predictions of equilibrium number density profiles are in good agreement with computations for mixtures of equal sized particles with different density for all solids volume fractions, and for mixtures of different sized particles at low volume fractions when the particles are elastic or nearly elastic. In the case of inelastic, frictional particles the theory gives reasonable predictions if an appropriate effective granular temperature is assumed. The relative importance of pressure diffusion and temperature diffusion for the cases considered is discussed.
Chaotic granular mixing9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166434View Description Hide Description
Several models for convective mixing of coarse, freely flowing in granular tumblers have been proposed over the past decade. Powders of practical interest, by contrast, are frequently fine and cohesive, and cannot be analyzed with these models. Moreover, even in the freely flowing regime, mixing transverse to the dominant, convective, direction is typically slow and inefficient. In this paper, we examine two chaotic mixing mechanisms, the first of which can be intentionally applied to increase transverse mixing rates severalfold, with new prospects for further improvements in three-dimensional mixing through judicious process design. The second mechanism occurs spontaneously in fine grains, resulting in mixing rates overwhelmingly exceeding what would be possible in freely flowing grains. Finally, we show that the same chaotic mixing mechanisms seen in simple drum mixers are also found to be at work in more complex blender configurations widely used in batch industrial operations.
Segregation induced instabilities of granular fronts9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166435View Description Hide Description
Experimental investigation of granular flows containing particles of several sizes and moving down slopes shows that segregation of coarse-grained, irregularly shaped particles induces a fingering instability at the propagating front. The size-segregation mechanism involves percolation of small particles downward and a corresponding migration of large ones toward the flowsurface. Large particles at the flowsurface experience velocities that are greater than average so that they migrate forward and begin to collect at the flow front. In the case of dry cohesionless flows, the instability depends upon these large particles at the flow perimeter being more angular and thus more resistant to flow than the smaller rounder ones in the interior. A simple analytical model predicts the fingering instability when friction of the flow front is greater than that of the following flow. The presence of viscous liquid inhibits both size-segregation and the development of the instability. Fluidization of dry flows permits segregation of large particles to flow perimeters, thus increasing permeability and permitting a similar instability that owes its development to the dry frictional perimeter that surrounds a partly fluidized interior.
The rotating bucket of sand: Experiment and theory9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166436View Description Hide Description
The surface shape of a bucket of sand rotating about its cylindrical axis is studied experimentally and theoretically. Focusing on fast time scales on which surface shape is determined by avalanches, we identify three regimes of behavior. At intermediate and high frequencies, the surface shape is always at its critical shape determined by the Coulomb yield condition. The low frequency behavior displays an unexpected subcritical region at the center of the bucket. To understand this central region, we adapt a continuum model of surface flow developed by Bouchaud et al. and Mehta et al. The model indicates that the subcritical region is due to a nonlinear instability mechanism.
Motion of grains down a bumpy surface9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166437View Description Hide Description
We summarize in this article an extensive experimental and theoretical effort carried out to understand the behavior of a single ball when rolling down a bumpy surface. This may appear to be a simple problem but in fact is one that displays a rich variety of different behaviors which allow us to understand better dissipative systems such as granular media. Studies performed previously have shown that the motion of the single ball on the rough surface can be characterized by three different dynamic regimes according to the different values of the two control parameters, the inclination angle θ and the ratio where R is the radius of the rolling ball and r the radius of the glass beads which make up the rough surface. The three regimes are a decelerated regime A, a stationary regime B, characterized by a constant average velocity and a jumping regime C. This result was found to be independent of the composition of the rolling ball and the rough surface. It has been demonstrated that regime B is characterized by a viscous-like friction force that appears for specific parameter values. This friction force can be explained by a model whose central ingredient is the geometry of the surface. The trajectory of the ball in regime B can be pictured as a driven random walkmotion where the fluctuations of the local velocities are due to collisions of the moving sphere and the surface grains. A detailed analysis of diffusive properties of the motion is discussed.
Hysteretic transition between avalanches and continuous flow in rotated granular systems9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166438View Description Hide Description
Experiments in drums or cylinders partly filled with a granular system and rotated constantly about their horizontally aligned axis of symmetry show a hysteretic transition from discrete avalanches to continuous flow if the rotation rate is adiabatically changed. Herein, we show that this hysteresis can be explained by the impact of global Langevin-type fluctuations in a recently proposed minimal model for surfaceflow along granular piles. For too large magnitudes of the fluctuations corresponding to almost elastic grains, the hysteresis vanishes. This might explain why molecular dynamical simulations were not yet able to detect the hysteretic transition.
Hydraulic theory for a debris flow supported on a collisional shear layer9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166439View Description Hide Description
We consider a heap of grains driven by gravity down an incline. We assume that the heap is supported at its base on a relatively thin carpet of intensely sheared, highly agitated grains that interact through collisions. We adopt the balance laws, constitutive relations, and boundary conditions of a kinetic theory for dense granular flows and determine the relationship between the shear stress, normal stress, and relative velocity of the boundaries in the shear layer in an analysis of a steady shearing flow between identical bumpy boundaries. This relationship permits us to close the hydraulic equations governing the evolution of the shape of the heap and the velocity distribution at its base. We integrate the resulting equations numerically for typical values of the parameters for glass spheres.
Scales and kinetics of granular flows9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166440View Description Hide Description
When a granular material experiences strong forcing, as may be the case, e.g., for coal or gravel flowing down a chute or snow (or rocks) avalanching down a mountain slope, the individual grains interact by nearly instantaneous collisions, much like in the classical model of a gas. The dissipative nature of the particle collisions renders this analogy incomplete and is the source of a number of phenomena which are peculiar to "granular gases," such as clustering and collapse. In addition, the inelasticity of the collisions is the reason that granular gases, unlike atomic ones, lack temporal and spatial scale separation, a fact manifested by macroscopic mean free paths, scale dependent stresses, "macroscopic measurability" of "microscopic fluctuations" and observability of the effects of the Burnett and super-Burnett "corrections." The latter features may also exist in atomic fluids but they are observable there only under extreme conditions. Clustering, collapse and a kinetic theory for rapid flows of dilute granular systems, including a derivation of boundary conditions, are described alongside the mesoscopic properties of these systems with emphasis on the effects, theoretical conclusions and restrictions imposed by the lack of scale separation.
Cluster-growth in freely cooling granular media9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166441View Description Hide Description
When dissipative particles are left alone, their fluctuation energy decays due to collisional interactions, clusters build up and grow with time until the system size is reached. When the effective dissipation is strong enough, this may lead to the "inelastic collapse," i.e., the divergence of the collision frequency of some particles. The cluster growth is an interesting physical phenomenon, whereas the inelastic collapse is an intrinsic effect of the inelastic hard sphere (IHS) model used to study the cluster growth—involving only a negligible number of particles in the system. Here, we extend the IHS model by introducing an elastic contact energy and the related contact duration This avoids the inelastic collapse and allows to examine the long-time behavior of the system. For a quantitative description of the cluster growth, we propose a burning-like algorithm in continuous space, that readily identifies all particles that belong to the same cluster. The criterion for this is here chosen to be only the particle distance. With this method we identify three regimes of behavior. First, for short times a homogeneous cooling state (HCS) exists, where a mean-fieldtheory works nicely, and the clusters are tiny and grow very slowly. Second, at a certain time which depends on the system's properties, cluster growth starts and the clusters increase in size and mass until, in the third regime, the system size is reached and most of the particles are collected in one huge cluster.
Velocity statistics in excited granular media9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166442View Description Hide Description
We present an experimental study of velocity statistics for a partial layer of inelastic colliding beads driven by a vertically oscillating boundary. Over a wide range of parameters (accelerations 3–8 times the gravitational acceleration), the probability distribution deviates measurably from a Gaussian for the two horizontal velocity components. It can be described by in agreement with a recent theory. The characteristic velocity is proportional to the peak velocity of the boundary. The granular temperature, defined as the mean square particle velocity, varies with particle density and exhibits a maximum at intermediate densities. On the other hand, for free cooling in the absence of excitation, we find an exponential velocity distribution. Finally, we examine the sharing of energy between particles of different mass. The more massive particles are found to have greater kinetic energy.
Convection in horizontally vibrated granular material9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166443View Description Hide Description
We report observations of convective motion in a container filled with granular material when it is vibrated in the horizontal direction. We find that the roughness of the boundaries and the container dimensions play an important role in determining the shape and number of the convection cells. When the container bottom and lateral walls are rough, the system typically exhibits four counter-rotating rolls stacked in two pairs on top of each other; for very low filling height, it is possible to observe a single row of rolls arranged laterally along the bottom of the container. With smooth walls, on the other hand, we find that the system typically forms only a single pair of counter-rotating convection rolls that originate in the two upper corners of the vibrated material; when the filling height is increased to a level that depends on the container width, we observe a transition to the four-roll state.

Islands of accelerator modes and homoclinic tangles9(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.166444View Description Hide Description
Islands are divided according to their phase space structure—resonant islands and tangle islands are considered. It is proved that in the near-integrable limit these correspond to two distinct sets, hence that in general their definitions are not trivially equivalent. It is demonstrated and proved that accelerator modes of the standard map and of the web map are necessarily of the tangle island category. These islands have an important role in determining transport—indeed it has been demonstrated in various works that stickiness to these accelerator modes may cause anomalous transport even for initial conditions starting in the ergodic component.

FAIRFIELD – A Fairfield University students was arrested after police said he started a fire in the bathroom of his campus residence.
Spencer Higgins, 23, was charged with reckless burning and reckless endangerment. He was released on a promise to appear in court on May 16.
On Monday evening firefighter responded to a fire in McInnes Hall at the university. When police got to the scene they were met by Higgins who initially claimed the smoke was due to burnt fish on the stove. However, police said he eventually admitted he had set the fire.
They said he told them he was cleaning up the apartment in preparation for leaving for the summer and decided instead of recycling a large stack of papers he would set the stack on fire. But the fire quickly got out of control.
Police said Higgins told them he had learned his lesson.
