It's possible to have too much of a good thing, according to the owners of Hulu. Hulu is worried that a generation of revenue sources is being trained to expect access to video content on the Internet for free. Despite more than doubling Hulu advertising revenue in 2010, it may abandon its original business model to become a web-based cable company.
Hulu competes with its partners
Hulu was launched in 2008 and has since become one of the most successful Internet video content providers. Media heavyweights NBC Universal, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. and Walt Disney Co., which owns ABC, joined forces with Hulu to offer a legal alternative to pirated YouTube videos. But as more viewers shift from cable to the web for video entertainment, its owners fear Hulu's success will erode revenue from their traditional media properties. Hulu executives are also envious of Netflix, which had $2.16 billion in 2010 revenues and announced Jan. 25 it has 20 million subscribers. Hulu, which sells advertising around its programming, netted a modest $260 million.
Internal dissent threatens Hulu IPO
Hulu content providers started complaining that its streaming content cut into cable advertising revenues as early as 2008. It's being reported that News Corp. and Disney are considering pulling content from Hulu and selling it to companies that compete with Hulu in the Internet TV niche, including Apple, Microsoft and Netflix. That possibility strikes fear in the heart of Hulu executives, who hungrily eye a Hulu IPO in the future that could net up to $2 billion. To hit that kind of jackpot going public, Hulu needs to secure access to programming for the long term.
It was fun while it lasted
Hulu's licenses to News Corp. and Disney content expire this summer. To complicate matters, NBC Universal must give up its stake in Hulu because of anti-trust rules involved with Comcast's acquisition of the company. When that happened, NBC Universal promptly betrayed Hulu and gave recent episodes of "Saturday Night Live" to Netflix. Amid the tumult, Hulu is exploring the possibility of becoming a web-based Comcast, with inflated charges and pay per view bundled with channels subscribers will never watch. As major corporations swallow up the Internet, the new era of web-based TV pioneered by Hulu could be short-lived.

The magic of New Zealand astaxanthin
Experts believe that antioxidants prevent free radicals from causing injury and damage. Free radicals are naturally-occurring toxic molecules, and natural astaxanthin is by far the most powerful antioxidant discovered so far.
Astaxanthin, super antioxidant, disarms free radicals
Unlike many antioxidants, which deal with one free radical at a time, our natural astaxanthin handles multiple free radicals, with a unique molecular structure that lets it capture and neutralise multiple different free radical types including Singlet oxygen radicals, Superoxide radicals, Hydroxyl radicals, Peroxyl radicals, Alkoxyl radicals and more. They all cause serious internal damage to your body's cellular structures, and free radical damage is responsible for many health degenarative conditions.
Thankfully, natural astaxanthins significant antioxidant protection and potential for disease prevention is unbeatable.
AstaSupreme, the ultimate anti-free radical antioxidant
How does astaxanthin work?
The product's unique structure lets it incorporate itself into your cells' biphospholipid layer, spanning from the outer membrane surface and extending through to the inner surface of your cells. This allows the product to act as a powerful scavenger of free radicals, working long the outer cellular wall and simultaneously providing protection to your cells' interior structures. Because it leaves free radicals with no way to enter your cells, they cannot cause damage.
AstaSupreme's NZ astaxanthin never becomes a pro-oxidant
During the process of neutralising free radicals, most antioxidants become oxidised, therefore exhausted. Occasionally they can themselves become dangeous pro-oxidant free radicals. But natural astaxanthin never becomes a pro-oxidant and doesn't convert into a free radical.
How? A special feature its molecular structure, known as electron cloud sharing, means astaxanthin passes through the blood brain barrier to deliver vital antioxidant protection to your brain, spinal cord and central nervous system, an important feature that reduces free radical damage and prevent a variety of dangerous medical conditions. It even crosses the blood-retinal barrier, protecting your retina for health vision and eye health.
Proof for the efficacy of Astaxanthin
Research shows our product has excellent results supporting cardiac health, healthy Cholesterol levels, joint health, eye and visual health, optimal skin health, and giving you rapid post-exercise recovery.

13 Years Ago: Johnny Cash Dies
On Sept. 12, 2003, country music lost one of its most beloved stars: Johnny Cash.
On Sept. 12, 2003, country music lost one of its most beloved stars: Johnny Cash.
On Aug. 21, 1969, Johnny Cash earned a No. 1 hit with his song "A Boy Named Sue," from his 'At San Quentin' album.
It may seem like it's always glitz and glam for country music's biggest stars, but they didn't all come by their storytelling ability naturally. Sadly, many singers have encountered great tragedies in their lives, or have overcome sharp odds to get where they are today.
Tragedy can strike anyone, from a neighbor next door to family members to some of the biggest superstars in the world.
Country music is known for its ability to create some outstanding songs about America. From patriotic anthems to protest tunes, country artists know how to sing about their home sweet home.
In the '80s Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Krisofferson, and Johnny Cash - four of the biggest stars in America - joined forces to form a true country music super-group, and revolutionize American music...
The Boot counts down country music's 10 best drinking songs.
A list of the Top 10 songs by country legend Johnny Cash.
The Johnny Cash Museum in downtown Nashville is preparing to unveil several new exhibits, and according to museum founder Bill Miller, it will help clear the way for even more fans to enjoy Cash's legacy.
Love is in the air, and we're celebrating the best way we know how — with country music's cutest couples!

I am trying things, to see if I can draw fast, keeping my style and the likeness of the subject/scene at the same time. And make an overall interesting piece... I tried to make this painting with no lines and I don't dig it much. I prefer a bit of comic/ilustration flavor. #drawing #gouache #fuckingart

Tory stand-up comic, former speechwriter for Boris Johnson
● Be meaner to the Lib Dems. They shouldn't be in government – they lost five seats in 2010. You can't do without them yet, but you can undermine their confidence. Make Clegg, Cable or Huhne cry at every cabinet meeting.
● Ditch the localism thing. Look around the conference hall – do you really want to give more power to councillors?
● Swot up on Aston Villa. If you keep telling everyone you're a massive fan, it's only a matter of time before a TV presenter asks you who scored the winning goal in the 1982 European Cup Final.
● Grow a moustache. If people don't see their prime ministers visibly age in office, they think they're idle.
● Make Norman Tebbit chairman again. A great tactician does something every now and then which completely blows everyone's mind.

One such difficulty is that mechanical treatments of jamming focus on pressure, force, stress, and strain, which are identically zero below jamming, making it hard to differentiate systems whcih which are near or far from the transition. Instead, I introduce a geometric framework based on the Voronoi tesselation which treats all of phase space on an equal footing. This work will show that the jamming transition can be seen entirely through the geometry of the local environment of particles encoded in the Voronoi tesselation, and it will build the framework for an as yet undefined field theory for jamming. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

The abundance of B mesons at B factories opens the door to the search in rare decays for physics outside of the Standard Model. Flavor-changing neutral current transitions proceed only via higher order in the Standard Model, resulting in a b [arrow right] s³y branching fraction of about 3 x 10 -4 , but hypothesized particles could alter the rate significantly. Decays of B mesons that proceed via this electroweak penguin diagram are an interesting example of flavor-changing neutral currents, due to the large number of accessible final states with observables that are sensitive to new processes. This dissertation describes the analyses of such decays B - [arrow right] p ³, B - [arrow right] £ 0 p ³, B - [arrow right] p and B - [arrow right] p using about 350 million B meson pairs recorded by the BABAR detector in the years 2001 through 2006. In addition to the decay rate, the distribution of the invariant mass of the baryon pair is presented, using a method for statistical unfolding. The analysis is the first of these decays at the BABAR experiment and lays the groundwork for future analyses of the branching fractions and angular correlations of b [arrow right] s decays containing A hyperons and other baryons at BABAR or higher luminosity B factories.

The field of quantum chaos investigates the quantum mechanical behavior of classically chaotic systems. This dissertation begins by describing an experiment conducted on an apparatus constructed to represent a three dimensional analog of a classically chaotic system. Patterns of reflected light are shown to produce fractals, and the behavior of the fractal dimension D F is shown to depend on the light's ability to escape the apparatus. The classically chaotic system is then used to investigate the conductance properties of semiconductor heterostructures engineered to produce a conducting plane relatively free of impurities and defects. Introducing walls that inhibit conduction to partition off sections considerably smaller than the mean distance between impurities defines devices called 'billiards'. Cooling to low temperatures enables the electrons traveling through the billiard to maintain quantum mechanical phase. Exposure to a changing electric or magnetic field alters the electron's phase, leading to fluctuations in the conductance through the billiard. Magnetoconductance fluctuations in billiards have previously been shown to be fractal. This behavior has been charted using an empirical parameter, Q , that is a measure of the resolution of the energy levels within the billiard. The relationship with Q is shown to extend beyond the ballistic regime into the 'quasi-ballistic' and 'diffusive' regimes, characterized by having defects within the conduction plane. A model analogous to the classically chaotic system is proposed as the origin of the fractal conductance fluctuations. This model is shown to be consistent with experiment and to account for changes of fine scale features in MCF known to occur when a billiard is brought to room temperature between low temperature measurements. An experiment is conducted in which fractal conductance fluctuations (FCF) are produced by exposing a billiard to a changing electric field. Comparison of D F values of FCF produced by electric fields is made to FCF produced by magnetic fields. FCF with high D F values are shown to de-correlate at smaller increments of field than the FCF with lower D F values. This indicates that FCF may be used as a novel sensor of external fields, so the response of FCF to high bias voltages is investigated.

CHARGE TRANSFER IN A 3+2-BODY, REDUCED MASS FOCK-TANI REPRESENTATION: FIRST ORDER RESULTS AND AN INTRODUCTION TO HIGHER ORDER EFFECTSStraton, John Carter (University of Oregon, June , 1986)[more][less]Straton, John Carter 2016-01-08T00:39:16Z 2016-01-08T00:39:16Z 1986-06 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/19493 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2015154529 214 pages The Fock-Tani (unitary) transformation of the second- quantized Hamiltonian gives a representation which treats reactants and products symmetrically, and composites exactly. Each term in the Fock-Tani potential corresponds to a specific physical process and contains terms orthogonalizing continuum states to the bound states. The difficulty in carrying out this transformation can be lessened by working in a center of mass system, giving (n-1) reduced mass particles. After a general analysis of such systems, the Fock- Tani transformations in the 3→2-body case are carried out for the reactions a⁺+(b⁺c⁻)→(a⁺c⁻)+b⁺ and a⁻+(b⁺c⁻)→(a⁻b⁺)+c⁻. It is found that for (2) the transformation in the symmetrical reduced mass system can easily be carried out, but the Jacobi reduced mass system requires the more complicated d-matrix approach. This transformation has not yet been attempted in the full 3-body system but is likely to be as difficult as that for (1). First order differential and total cross sections are computed for resonant charge transfer in (1) for a proton- hydrogen initial state. The Fock-Tani T-matrix for the initial-state Jacobi system is found to be identical to that for the full 3-body system. That for the symmetrical reduced mass system gives an error of order l/mprot in the incident wave vector. A comparison of the Jacobi version and a previous special case Fock-Tani transformation, where the proton mass is taken as infinite, is also made. Cross sections for (ls→ls) positronium formation in positron-hydrogen collisions, calculated using the same program as for the proton-hydrogen case, are found to disagree with the previous Fock-Tani result, probably due to lack of convergence of the previous result. Cross sections for reactions (1) involving muons in hydrogenic isotopes (of interest in quantum electrodynamics and catalyzed fusion) are also calculated. Finally, extension of the results to higher order is considered. Polarized Schrodinger wave functions for a system containing a hydrogenic atom and a fully kinetic external charge are found to first order. These would be used in the Fock-Tani matrix elements to account for some initial- and final-state effects. Calculations of distorted second-quantized states and second and third order T-matrix elements are also outlined. en_US University of Oregon Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-US charge transfer reduced mass 3-body scattering theory Fock-Tani Representation CHARGE TRANSFER IN A 3+2-BODY, REDUCED MASS FOCK-TANI REPRESENTATION: FIRST ORDER RESULTS AND AN INTRODUCTION TO HIGHER ORDER EFFECTS Thesis / Dissertation

Experimental studies on mix-conducting hetero-ionic junctions of anionically (PA A ) and cationically (PA C ) functionalized polyacetylene ionomers, as well as each individual ionomer, in thin-film sandwich configurations are reported for the purpose of better understanding the interaction between ionic and electronic charge transports in mixed ionic-electronic conductor (MIEC) systems. The transport of ions in both individual ionomers as well as their hetero-ionic junction was investigated via small-amplitude AC impedance spectroscopy in the absence of significant interference from the electronic charge transport. Modeling of the impedance results reveal important information about the materials such as: ion conductivity, activation energy of ion conduction, ion hopping frequency, dielectric constant, interfacial capacitance, and estimates of effective ion density. Electrochemical injection of electronic charge carriers into PA A and PA C from gold electrodes was monitored to determine the applied potentials needed to drive hole and electron injection into each ionomer. It is found that for both ionomers, the onset voltages for unipolar and bipolar charge injection are similar, and holes can be injected at close to zero bias. The responses of the complete Au|PA A |PA C |Au hetero-ionic junction, as well as each constituent ionomer layer in Au|Ionomer|Au configuration, to various stepping biases were investigated through current-voltage and impedance measurements to study the origin of the asymmetric current-voltage response observed in the hetero-ionic junction. Analysis of the results reveal a working mechanism of a mix-conducting junction that is fundamentally different from that of a purely electronic pn junction. When illuminated with light, the Au|PA A |PA C |Au junction exhibits unidirectional photovoltage and photocurrent with the PA A side at higher potential, while the Au|PA A |Au and Au|PA C |Au samples exhibit symmetric photoresponses. The efficiency of photocurrent generation in the Au|PA A |PA C |Au junction was found to be strongly dependent on the direction of illumination and on the sample thickness. These observations can be explained by the difference in the mobility of holes and electrons and the existence of a built-in ionic space charge region at the PA A |PA C interface. A mechanism of photoresponse unique to MIEC junctions was proposed, and the magnitude of built-in potential was estimated.

(some col.) Electron spin states in semiconductors feature long coherence lifetimes, which have stimulated intense interest in the use of these spins for applications in spin based electronics and quantum information processing (QIP). A principal requirement for these spins to be viable candidates in QIP is the ability to coherently control the spins on timescales much faster than the decoherence times. The ability to optically control the spin state can meet this requirement. The spin states of electrons exhibit strong radiative coupling to negatively charged exciton (trion) states, and this radiative coupling makes coherent optical control of spin states possible. This dissertation presents experimental demonstration of coherent control of an electron spin ensemble in a two-dimensional electron gas in a CdTe quantum well. We present two complimentary techniques to optically manipulate these electron spins using a Raman transition. The first demonstration is with a single off-resonant ultrafast optical pulse. This ultrafast pulse acts like an effective magnetic field in the propagation direction of the optical pulse. The second experiment utilizes phase-locked Raman resonant pulse pairs to coherently rotate the quantum state, where the relative phase of the pulse pair sets the axis of rotation. The Raman pulse pair acts like a microwave field driving the spin states. This research demonstrates two significant contributions to the field of coherent optical interactions with semiconductors. First, we have advanced the potential use of electron spin ensembles in semiconductors for optics based quantum information processing hardware through our demonstration of coherent spin flips and complete coherent control. Second, we have experimentally realized full coherent control through the use of phase-locked Raman pulse pairs that overcomes inherent limitations of the single-pulse optical rotation technique, which is the current standard technique used in coherent control.

Electron spin coherence can arise through a coherent superposition of two spin states in the conduction band of a semiconductor and can persist over remarkably long time and length scales. The robust nature of electron spin coherence makes it an excellent model system for exploring coherent quantum phenomena in semiconductors. This dissertation presents both spectral- and time-domain nonlinear optical studies of electron spin coherence through Λ-type three-level systems in two- and zero-dimensional semiconductor systems. The spectral domain study focuses on the experimental realization of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), a phenomenon that exploits destructive interference induced by the spin coherence. Coherent Zeeman Resonance (CZR), a precursor to EIT, is demonstrated in two 2D systems, a GaAs mixed-type quantum well (MTQW) and a modulation doped CdTe quantum well (QW). For these studies, Λ-type three-level systems are formed via dipole coupling of a trion to two electron spin states. The CZR response can be described qualitatively by effective density matrix equations. In addition, effects of manybody Coulomb interactions on CZR are investigated by varying the electron density in the MTQW via optical carrier injection. Time-domain studies based on transient differential transmission (DT) are carried out to explore the excitation, manipulation, and detection of electron spin coherence and to better understand how manybody interactions affect coherent nonlinear optical processes in semiconductors. While electron spin coherence can be formed and detected via resonant excitation of excitons or trions, a surprising observation is that injecting excitons into the 2D electron gas in a modulation doped CdTe QW can significantly alter the oscillatory nonlinear response of the electron spin coherence, while the response remains qualitatively unchanged when trions are injected. These behaviors are attributed to an interplay between manybody effects and carrier heating generated by trion formation from excitons. Finally, donor-bound electrons in GaAs are used as a model of localized electron spins. Spin decoherence of order 10 ns, limited by nuclear hyperfine interactions, is observed. Electron spin rotation induced by a nearly resonant laser pulse is also observed, opening the door for further work on mitigating electron spin decoherence time through optical spin echoes.

In this thesis we theoretically and experimentally investigate the subwavelength manipulation of light with nano-scale patterned metallodielectric resonators. By coupling light to surface plasmon excitations, we calculate the modified dispersion relation of the resulting surface plasmon polariton (SPP) modes in two types of subwavelength resonators: (i) closed, spherical micro-resonators with nano-scale metal-dielectic-metal shells; (ii) periodic, metal-dielectric-metal-layered silica surfaces. We show theoretically that with the proper geometric parameters, one can use sub-wavelength structure on spherical surfaces to manipulate the SPP dispersion relation in a highly tunable fashion. A tunable avoided-crossing of plasmonic dispersion bands is found to be the result of the coherent near-field coupling of silver nano-shell SPP modes. By developing our own stable computational algorithms, we calculated the far-field scattering of these metal-dielectric-metal layered micro-resonators. We demonstrate that the near-field interaction of the SPPs leads to a tunable, SPP induced transparency in the composite particle's scattering and extinction cross-sections. Utilizing finite element calculations, periodically-modulated metal-dielectric-metal layers are shown to alter the transmission properties of plasmon enhanced transmission through their support of interior surface plasmon (ISP) modes. Our simulations indicate that, subwavelength silver-silica-silver trilayers coating arrays of silica cylinders support ISP modes analogous to those found in spherical metal-dielectric-metal shells. We examine the coupling between ISP and radiating SPPs, and find the possibility of efficient free-space coupling to ISP modes in planar geometries. Further, the excitation of these ISP modes is found to predicate plasmon enhanced transmission, adding directionality and refined frequency selection. Experimentally, we show that self-assembled monolayers of silica spheres form a novel substrate for tunable plasmonic surfaces. We have developed a deposition method to conformally coat these hexagonal-close-packed substrates with nano-scale silver-polystyrene-silver coatings. We use angle-resolved spectroscopy to study their transmission properties. We have discovered that the presence of the silver-polystyrene-silver layer supports the excitation of ISP modes, and that these excitations significantly alter the plasmon enhanced transmission. Finally, we have discovered that the use of the ordered monolayers as a plasmonic substrate can create a new effect in conjunction with plasmon enhanced transmission: directionally asymmetric transmission. This is demonstrated with optically thick silver coatings evaporated upon onto the ordered sphere monolayers.

(some col.) The research presented in this dissertation aims to contribute to the field of atom optics via the implementation and demonstration of an all-optical one-way barrier for 87 Rb atoms--a novel tool for controlling atomic motion. This barrier--a type of atomic turnstile--transmits atoms traveling in one direction but hinders their passage in the other direction. We create the barrier with two laser beams, generating its unidirectional behavior by exploiting the two hyperfine ground states of 87 Rb. In particular, we judiciously choose the frequency of one beam to present a potential well to atoms in one ground state (the transmitting state) and a potential barrier to atoms in the other state (the reflecting state). The second beam optically pumps the atoms from the transmitting state to the reflecting state. A significant component of the experimental work presented here involves generating ultra-cold rubidium atoms for demonstrating the one-way barrier. To this end, we have designed and constructed a sophisticated 87 Rb cooling and trapping apparatus. This apparatus comprises an extensive ultra-high vacuum system, four home-built, frequency-stabilized diode laser systems, a high-power Yb:fiber laser, a multitude of supporting optics, and substantial timing and control electronics. This system allows us to cool and trap rubidium atoms at a temperature of about 30 μK. The results presented in this dissertation are summarized as follows. We successfully implemented a one-way barrier for neutral atoms and demonstrated its asymmetric nature. We used this new tool to compress the phase-space volume of an atomic sample and examined its significance as a physical realization of Maxwell's demon. We also demonstrated the robustness of the barrier's functionality to variations in several important experimental parameters. Lastly, we demonstrated the barrier's ability to cool an atomic sample, substantiating its potential application as a new cooling tool.

This dissertation investigates the interplay between, and the possible coexistence of, magnetic and superconducting order in metals. We start with studying the electromagnetic properties of s-wave superconductors near a ferromagnetic instability. By using a generalized Ginzburg-Landau theory and scaling arguments, we show that competition between magnetic order and superconducting order can change the scaling of observables. For instance, the exponent for the temperature dependence of the critical current can deviate from the Ginzburg-Landau value of 3/2. These results may be relevant to understanding the observed behavior of MgCNi 3 . We then study the nature of the superconductor-to-normal-metal transition in p-wave superconductors. Although the phase transition is continuous at a mean- field level, a more careful renormalization-group analysis in conjunction with large-n expansion techniques strongly suggest that the transition is first order. This conclusion is the same as for s-wave superconductors, where these techniques also predict a first-order transition. In p-wave superconductors, topological excitations known as skyrmions are known to exist in addition to the more common vortices. In the third part of this dissertation, we study the properties of skyrmion lattices in an external magnetic field. We propose iv experiments to distinguish vortex lattices from skyrmion lattices by means of their melting curves and their μSR signatures.

One solution is to develop a composite system that couples a nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond to a whispering gallery mode supported by a fused silica microsphere. Such a system is motivated by the optical and electron-spin properties of the NV center. The NV center is the leading spin-qubit and exhibits atomic like linewidths at cryogenic temperatures and has spin coherence times greater than milliseconds at room temperature. These long coherence times, coupled with nanosecond scale spin readout and manipulation times, allow for millions of quantum operations to be processed. Silica whispering gallery resonators are the only class of microresonators with quality factor high enough to reach the strong coupling regime, which is necessary for some quantum information processing applications. Integrating these two components into a system that could position a diamond nanopillar near the surface of a deformed-double stemmed microsphere system, with nanometer precision, at 10 K was a major achievement of this research. Cavity resonances in deformed microspheres can be excited with a free-space coupling technique which simplifies their integration into cryogenic environments. In these intentionally deformed resonators, an enhanced evanescent field decay length was observed at specific locations along the ray orbit. The double-stem arrangement enables the cavity resonance to be tuned over 450 GHz, with sub-10 MHz resolution, at 10 K. These two features, the enhanced decay length and broad range tuning with high resolution, are indispensible tools for cavity-QED studies with silica microspheres. Diamond nanopillars were fabricated from single crystal diamond with diameters as small as 140 nm in order to maintain a high quality factor. Studies were conducted on NV centers in nanopillars and bulk diamond to determine their suitability for cavity-QED applications. In an attempt to increase the light-matter interaction between NV centers and whispering gallery modes, diamond substrates were optically characterized that were irradiated with nitrogen ions. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

(some col.) We explore the frequency translation of single-photon states of light and the creation of photon pairs by four-wave mixing in optical fiber. Frequency translation refers to changing the central frequency of a field, while photon pair creation refers to the creation of two individual photons at the same time. We demonstrate these effects in third-order nonlinear optical fiber. While both phenomena have previously been shown by three-wave mixing in second-order nonlinear media, there are compelling reasons to develop these tasks in third-order media. Most importantly, frequency translation in third-order material allows for the practical implementation of both small and large frequency shifts, while second-order material only practically allows for large shifts. Photon creation in third-order media often permits more flexible phase-matching conditions, allowing for the creation of a wider variety of quantum states than is often possible in second-order media. In our theoretical study of photon pair creation, we focus on the spectral correlations of the photon pairs. We pay particular attention to the creation of quantum states of high purity, where the photons are not spectrally correlated with one another. High purity photons are a requisite resource for several different quantum information processing applications, such as linear-optical quantum computing. We find that states with high purity can be realized with a minimal amount of spectral filtering. Experimentally, we study photon frequency translation in photonic crystal fiber. The central wavelength of the input photons was translated from 683 nm to 659 nm. We perform second-order intensity correlation measurements on both channels to demonstrate their quantum nature. This resulted in values of 0.21 ± 0.02 and 0.19 ± 0.05 for the 683-nm and 659-nm channels, respectively, demonstrating that those fields were dominated by their single-photon component. The efficiency at which the process occurred was 29 percent. Theoretically, we develop a Green function formalism to describe the translation process and develop a computational model to calculate the solution to the governing equations. Also, in a related experiment, we demonstrate classical frequency translation from 851 nm to 641 nm, a record translation in both wavelength and frequency, at an efficiency of 0.2 percent in a birefringent fiber.

First, we explore the feasibility of using a hadron collider to unmask hidden sectors by means of a novel signal, the ``monocline". Dilepton production provides the cleanest channel to anticipate a monocline. A compelling sector to seek is dark matter with scalar messengers coupling it to standard fermions. We present current bounds from dilepton spectrum measurements at the LHC and make predictions for sensitivities at Run II of the LHC as well as at a future 100 TeV collider. Second, we corner the space of parameters of supersymmetric frameworks with an appreciable Yukawa coupling between the Higgs fields and a gauge singlet, the so-called Fat Higgs and $\lambda$-SUSY models, in the context of the discovery of the 125 GeV Higgs particle. These models are motivated by their alleviation of the electroweak fine-tuning that supersymmetry breaking entails, via raising the tree-level quartic coupling Higgs boson. Heavy Higgs scalars that couple strongly to the standard Higgs boson induce large radiative corrections to the Higgs quartic coupling, which is crucial to phenomenology; in particular, a very large ratio of the Higgs VEVs ($\tan \beta$), that was previously presumed unfavorable in these models, becomes viable and can be probed by future experiments. In such regions, the most stringent limits come from dark matter constraints on the lightest neutralino. Finally, we place limits on colored scalar production at the LHC in supersymmetric models where gauginos acquire both Dirac and Majorana masses, that we call ``mixed gauginos". While it was known that purely Dirac gluinos were less constrained by LHC searches than their purely Majorana counterparts, we find that the constraints further weaken or strengthen depending on which of the ``mixed" colored fermions acquires a Majorana mass. Also explored are the effects on squark production of turning on Majorana masses for electroweak gauginos.

Lipid membranes are a basic structural element of all cells. They provide a framework for the physical organization of the cell, act as a scaffold for numerous proteins, and serve as the host site for countless chemical reactions integral to cell function. Several key problems in membrane biophysics hinge on reliable methods for measuring membrane material properties. Properties such as rigidity, fluidity, charge density, etc., are important factors that govern membrane structure and function. As such, we need controllable, reliable, and quantitative methods of probing membrane material properties. In pursuit of such methods, we completed two related projects that, while distinct, aimed to create and apply quantitative measures of membrane material properties to current problems in biophysics. The first of these two lines of inquiry centered on the pervasive, pathogenic family of mycobacteria that is known to not only cause several diseases but also to survive prolonged periods of dehydration. We developed an experimental model system that mimics the structure of the mycobacterial envelope consisting of an immobile hydrophobic layer supporting a two-dimensionally fluid, glycolipid-rich outer monolayer. With this system, we show that glycolipid containing monolayers, in great contrast to phospholipid monolayers, survive desiccation with no loss of integrity, as assessed by both fluidity and protein binding, revealing a possible cause of mycobacterial persistence. In the second line of inquiry, we developed another general platform for probing membrane material properties that has produced the first reported observations of viscoelasticity in lipid membranes. We utilized recently developed microrheological techniques on freestanding lipid bilayer systems using high speed video particle tracking. The complex shear modulus of the bilayers was extracted at a variety of temperatures that span the liquid-ordered to disordered phase transition of the membranes. At many temperatures measured, the membranes displayed viscoelastic behavior reminiscent of a Maxwell material, namely elastic at high frequencies and viscous at low frequencies. Moreover, the viscoelastic behavior was suppressed at the critical phase transition temperature where the membranes behave as a purely viscous fluid. Surprisingly, the viscoelastic behavior was found in all of several distinct membrane compositions that were examined.

Developing Methods Based on Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy for Biophysical Investigations of Larval ZebrafishTaormina, Michael (University of Oregon, September 29, 2014)[more][less]Bothun, Gregory Taormina, Michael 2014-09-29T17:43:19Z 2014-09-29T17:43:19Z 2014-09-29 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/18342 Adapting the tools of optical microscopy to the large-scale dynamic systems encountered in the development of multicellular organisms provides a path toward understanding the physical processes necessary for complex life to form and function. Obtaining quantitatively meaningful results from such systems has been challenging due to difficulty spanning the spatial and temporal scales representative of the whole, while also observing the many individual members from which complex and collective behavior emerges. A three-dimensional imaging technique known as light sheet fluorescence microscopy provides a number of significant benefits for surmounting these challenges and studying developmental systems. A thin plane of fluorescence excitation light is produced such that it coincides with the focal plane of an imaging system, providing rapid acquisition of optically sectioned images that can be used to construct a three-dimensional rendition of a sample. I discuss the implementation of this technique for use in larva of the model vertebrate Danio rerio (zebrafish). The nature of light sheet imaging makes it especially well suited to the study of large systems while maintaining good spatial resolution and minimizing damage to the specimen from excessive exposure to excitation light. I show the results from a comparative study that demonstrates the ability to image certain developmental processes non-destructively, while in contrast confocal microscopy results in abnormal growth due to phototoxicity. I develop the application of light sheet microscopy to the study of a previously inaccessible system: the bacterial colonization of a host organism. Using the technique, we are able to obtain a survey of the intestinal tract of a larval zebrafish and observe the location of microbes as they grow and establish a stable population in an initially germ free fish. Finally, I describe a new technique to measure the fluid viscosity of this intestinal environment in vivo using magnetically driven particles. By imaging such particles as they are oscillated in a frequency chirped field, it is possible to calculate properties such as the viscosity of the material in which they are embedded. Here I provide the first known measurement of intestinal mucus rheology in vivo. This dissertation includes previously published co-authored material. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

Copperman, Jeremy (University of Oregon, October 27, 2016)[more][less]Guenza, Marina Copperman, Jeremy 2016-10-27T18:36:51Z 2016-10-27T18:36:51Z 2016-10-27 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/20447 A novel approach is developed to describe the dynamics of proteins, the coarse-grained Langevin Equation for Protein Dynamics (LE4PD). The approach describes proteins as fundamentally semiflexible objects collapsed into the free energy well representing the folded state. This is a multi-scale approach, where structural correlations are used as input to an effectively linear description, which can be solved in diffusive modes. The mode solution to this Langevin equation naturally separates into global modes describing the fully anisotropic tumbling of the macromolecule as a whole, and internal modes which describe local fluctuations about the folded structure. A protein in solution populates a structural ensemble of metastable configurations around the global fold, and we propose a simulation-free coarse-grained approach which utilizes knowledge of the important metastable folded states of the protein to predict the protein dynamics. The accuracy of the LE4PD is verified by analyzing the predicted dynamics across a set of seven different proteins for which both relaxation data and NMR solution structures are available. Using experimental NMR conformers as the input structural ensembles, LE4PD predicts quantitatively accurate results, with correlation coefficient $\rho=.93$ to NMR backbone relaxation measurements for the seven proteins. The NMR solution structure derived ensemble and predicted dynamical relaxation is compared with molecular dynamics simulation-derived structural ensembles and LE4PD predictions, and are consistent in the timescale of the simulations. The use of the experimental NMR conformers frees the approach from computationally demanding simulations. The biological function of proteins is encoded in their structure and expressed through the mediation of their dynamics. We present here a study of how local fluctuation relates to binding and function. This study indicates how local fluctuations are likely to initiate biologically relevant pathways as they cooperatively enhance the dynamics in specific spatial regions of the protein. The picture that emerges is a dynamically heterogenous protein where biologically active regions provide energetically-comparable conformational states that can be trapped by a reacting partner. The slowest, most collective motion localizes directly to highly conserved regions involved in binding partner recognition and active-site regulation. We analyze this possible relation between dynamics and binding mechanism as we calculate the dynamics of monomeric and dimerized HIV protease, free Insulin Growth Factor II Receptor (IGF2R) domain 11 and its IGF2R:IGF2 complex. The long-time dynamics of proteins is controlled by an activated regime where the dynamics of the large amplitude diffusive modes becomes dominated by the presence of energy barriers. We explicitly study the atomistic simulation-derived free energy landscape projected from the diffusive modes of the linear Langevin description of the protein, and obtain a general scaling between the fluctuation lengthscale and complexity. This hierarchical property of the free energy landscape of proteins is shown to be general across a set of six different single-domain monomeric proteins. As a consequence microscopic timescales of sub-angstrom sized fluctuations rapidly propagate out to folding timescales at the nanometer lengthscale of globular single-domain proteins. This glassy activated regime extending from the nanosecond timescale we propose to be set by cooperative rearrangements of the protein-water and protein-protein hydrogen-bonding network. This results in metastable protein configurations with large changes in the protein-solvent hydrogen-bonding network coupled to subtle changes in the protein-protein hydrogen-bonding network. The Langevin formalism predictions are shown to agree with molecular dynamic simulations from the picosecond out to the millisecond timescale. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved. barriers diffusive dynamics landscape modes proteins Diffusive and activated contributions in protein dynamics.

Along with the basic theory on how the barrier works, we describe the experimental setup and demonstrate an actual realization of the barrier. Such a barrier appears at first glance to violate the second law of thermodynamics; we examine that law and show explicitly that it is not violated for a general class of one-way barriers including our particular realization. As our lab is going to continue on to a different set of experiments requiring very sensitive imaging techniques, we finish with the development and application of a theory for comparing electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) cameras. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

(some col.) A print copy of this title is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. We analyze the effect of geometry and surface morphology on the optical properties of metal-dielectric systems. Using both analytical and numerical modeling, we study how surface curvature affects the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) along a metal-dielectric interface. We provide an intuitive explanation for how the curvature causes the phase front to distort, causing the SPPs to radiate their energy away from the metal-dielectric interface. We quantify the propagation efficiency as functions of the radius of curvature, and show that it depends nonmonotonically on the bend radius. We also show how the surface morphology influences the transmittance and the reflectance of light from disordered metal-dielectric nanocomposite films. The films consist of semicontinuous silver films of various surface coverage that are chemically deposited onto glass substrates. They exhibit a large and broadband reflection asymmetry in the visible spectral range. In order to investigate how the surface morphology affects the asymmetry, we anneal the samples at various temperatures to induce changes in the morphology, and observe changes in the reflection spectra. Our study indicates that the surface roughness and the metal surface coverage are the key geometric parameters affecting the reflection spectra, and reveals that the large asymmetry is due to the different surface roughness light encounters when incident from different side of the film. Additionally, we analyze how thin metal and dielectric layers affect the optical properties of metal-dielectric systems. Using the concept of dispersion engineering, we show that a metal-dielectric-metal microsphere--a metal sphere coated with a thin dielectric shell, followed by a metal shell--support a band of surface plasmon resonances (SPRs) with nearly identical frequencies. A large number of modes belonging to this band can be excited simultaneously by a plane wave, and hence enhancing the absorption cross-section. We also find that the enhanced absorption is accompanied by a plasmon assisted transparency due to an avoided crossing of dominant SPR bands. We demonstrate numerically that both the enhanced absorption and the plasmon assisted transparency are tunable over the entire visible range. We also present an experimental study of light scattering from silica spheres coated with thin semicontinuous silver shells, and attempt to describe their optical response using a modified scaling theory.

Pilgrim, Ian (University of Oregon, October 17, 2014)[more][less]Nöckel, Jens Pilgrim, Ian 2014-10-17T16:12:58Z 2014-10-17T16:12:58Z 2014-10-17 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/18503 Modern semiconductor fabrication techniques allow for the fabrication of semiconductor heterostructures which host electron transport with a minimum of scattering sites. In such devices, electrons populate a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in which electrons propagate in exactly two dimensions, and may be further confined by potential barriers to form electron billiards. At sub-Kelvin temperatures, electron trajectories are determined largely by reflections from the billiard walls, while net conduction through the device depends on quantum mechanical wave interference. Measurements of magnetoconductance fluctuations (MCF) serve as a probe of dynamics within the electron billiard. Many prior studies have utilized heterostructures employing the modulation doping architecture, in which the 2DEG is spatially removed from the donor atoms to minimize electron scattering. Theoretical studies have claimed that MCF will be fractal when the confinement potential defining the billiard is soft-walled, regardless of the presence of smooth potentials within the billiard such as those introduced by remote ionized donors. The small-angle scattering sites resulting from these potentials are often disregarded as negligible; we use MCF measurements to investigate such claims. To probe the effect of remote ionized donor scattering on the phase space in electron billiards, we compare MCF measured on billiards in a modulation-doped heterostructure to those measured on billiards in an undoped heterostructure, in which this potential landscape is believed to be absent. Fractal studies are performed on these MCF traces, and we find that MCF measured on the undoped billiards do not exhibit measurably different fractal characteristics than those measured on the modulation-doped billiards. Having confirmed that the potential landscapes in modulation-doped heterostructures do not affect the electron phase space, we then investigate the effect of these impurities on the distribution of electron trajectories through the billiards. By employing thermal cycling experiments, we demonstrate that this distribution is highly sensitive to the precise potential landscape within the billiard, suggesting that modulation-doped heterostructures do not support fully ballistic electron transport. We compare our MCF correlation data with the dynamics of charge transfer within heterostructure systems to make qualitative conclusions regarding these dynamics. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

Has Hillary read Huma's mom's book? Stunning revelations courtesy of Kamala:
- Huma Abedin's mother Saleha is the sole editor of the book.
- In 2010, Hillary praised Saleha directly, while standing next to her and giving a talk together in Saudi Arabia. The transcript is on the state department's web site: http://www.state.gov/secretary/20092013clinton/rm/2010/02/136789.htm — Hillary calls Saleha "an accomplished scholar and teacher":And I am – (applause) – I am delighted to recognize her before you, but also before her mother, because – (applause) – as her mother knows, she can be an accomplished scholar and teacher, as Dr. Abedin is, but the best thing that can happen to you is have people say nice things about your children. And so I am very, very grateful to be here with all of you.
Here are some stunning excerpts from the book:Men have been created in such a way that they are able to go out to work and to provide for their families. Women on the other hand are pre-disposed to stay at home and to fulfill their primary mission in life: bringing up the children and looking after the marital home. (p. 58)
…Allah (SWT) has created women to be emotional, delicate, sensitive, reactive, and easily provoked. When confronted with an accusation they become nervous, lose their arguments and consequently become weak and surrender to their opponents. (p. 64)
Cunningness is a characteristic common to all human beings. It is an intrinsic attribute of women agreeing with their very feminine nature since they often resort to cunning devices in order to obtain what they want and in order to achieve their goals. This attitude could sometimes be described as trickery and contrivance. In the noble Qur'an, women's cunning is described as "great." (p. 68)
If a woman were to assume a position of authority, she would be required to travel constantly in order to fulfill her duties. Her job would also involve long hours of free mixing and social interaction with the opposite sex, which is forbidden in Islam. Moreover, women's biological constitution is different from that of men. Women are fragile, emotional, and sometimes unable to handle difficult and strenuous situations. Men are less emotional and show more perseverance. (p. 159)Of course, the mainstream media will be hesitant to touch any of this. The obvious question for Hillary is whether she'll now rescind her praise for Dr. Abedin. And the obvious question for Huma is if she agrees with any of these statements from her mom's book. If Huma is the moderate everyone says she is, this would be a softball: Huma could explain that while she loves her mother dearly, she rejects her mother's interpretation of women's role in Islam, and she could then explain how she has tried to articulate her perspective to her mother.

Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman Edith Ramirez told senators Tuesday that the Supreme Court decision authorizing the FDA to sue drugmakers for patent settlements should discourage some of the most outrageous deals and let regulators fight others better. Diane Bieri spoke on behalf of PhRMA and said drugmakers spend 10 to 15 years and $1 billion to bring innovative drugs to the market, and patent settlements can bring generics to market before patent expiry.
