Extractions: APPLICATION DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 27, 2004 TREND 2003 Program Introduction The University of Maryland's Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics , with support from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Defense , is offering exciting research opportunities for undergraduate students in the broad area of nonlinear dynamics. Students from a variety of universities and backgrounds typically work in teams of two or three for 11 weeks during the summer and are supervised jointly by faculty members and graduate students. Research projects will be theoretical, experimental, or both. Examples of research topics are: theoretical studies of chaos in time and space, experimental studies of patterns in granular media, the development of singularities in fluids and solids, nonlinear dynamics in optical systems, nonlinear dynamics in charged particle beams and devices, and turbulence and nonlinear phenomena in plasmas. A number of events will be sponsored during the summer to enhance the learning experience, including a weekly seminar series on a wide range of topics and a research fair at the end of the summer where the students will present the results of their investigations.

Albert Einstein (Public) Albert Einstein: Image and Impact. Recent research suggesting that the universe may not be uniform in all directions may raise serious questions about Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. But it can't spoil Einstein's reputation as one of history's greatest physicists and thinkers. The American Institute of Physics has created a World-Wide Web site that recounts the scientist's life through historical accounts, photographs, sound clips, and documents. The site tells Einstein's story from his childhood, when he excelled in science and mathematics, to the later years of his life, which he spent in pursuit of the "unified theory" that would tie together the science of subatomic particles with that of gravity and motion. The site provides links to current research projects to provide further information about the unified theory and other aspects of Einstein's work. American Physical Society (Public) The American Physical Society site presents information on the physics organization and its membership, journals, meetings, awards and programs.

Extractions: This experiment looks at the role of friction in granular silos when the bottom floor is raised quasi-statically (very slowly). When disks made of a special plastic are placed between appriopriately designed polarizers and backlit, the ones experiencing higher stresses light up. The disks are approximately 5mm in diameter. The photo shows the stress in the system at the start and after slowly pushing the bottom with a piston through approximately 1.5 cm. Analysis of the pattern of stress chains will clarify the mechanisms by which dry granular materials such as sand, coal, rice, or pills respond to external loads. Back to Top Spatial Structure and Evolutionary Stability Drs. Socolar and Wilson, Postdoc Shane Richards To understand the population dynamics of biological systems it is sometimes necessary to take into account the spatial structure of the population. That is, different types of organisms subject to the same external environmental pressures may thrive or not, depending on how the individuals tend to be arranged in space. For example, a species that tends to form dense clusters may be more susceptible to extinction due to a disease that has only a minor effect on a species that tends to be more sparsely distributed. The figure at right shows a snapshot of a simulation of simple "organisms" that remain stationary and are characterized by a single trait: their natural mortality rate. Individuals with the average mortality are gray, those with smaller (or larger) are green (or red). Individuals are born next to their parent, inheriting their parent's mortality rate plus a small random mutation. They die either from natural causes or from diseases, which are very rare. The disease kills all organisms that belong to the connected cluster where it originates. The total spread in mortality rates represented in this picture is about 10% of the average.

Extractions: Yoshisuke Ueda Discovered Chaos in Nature in 1961 Kosaku INAGAKI April 28, 2003 I cited the sentences from recommendation that I recommended Professor Yoshisuke Ueda for a certain award (the title of award is unrevealed) to introduce about the Academic Article about Discovery of Chaos as follows. I am sorry if the sentences are a little difficult. Professor Yoshisuke Ueda is the emeritus professor of Kyoto University and currently teaches in the Future University - Hakodate as the professor. He is the first person who discovered chaos all over the world. I also uploaded the Academic Article of Professor Ueda. Professor Ueda, Yoshisuke "Discovery of Chaos Phenomenon in the Natural World and Pioneering Researches of Nonlinear Science" Since the discovery of chaos, paradigm conversion was brought with outlook on the natural scientific world. Initial evolution in the mathematical discovery is classified as the researches from Poincare's 3 body-problem in the end of 19th century to Smale's one-by-one correspondence of determination-characteristic and statistical characteristic by horseshoe image in 1960.

Extractions: Graduate Course Catalogue Introduction Courses for advanced undergraduate and graduate students Courses for graduate students The Department of Physics offers the Doctor of Philosophy and the Master of Science. Graduate study requires a minimum of 20 quarter hours of undergraduate credit in junior-senior level physics courses with a B average. These credits must include credits in intermediate electricity and magnetism, modern physics, and intermediate optics. A course in differential equations also is required. Applicants not fulfilling these prerequisites may be admitted conditionally with the understanding that they complete these courses within two quarters. All applicants must take the Graduate Record Examination General Test and the Advanced Area Test in Physics. At the master's degree level, the fundamental subject matter of graduate studies begins with the courses PHYS 7100 (Advanced Dynamics), PHYS 7200-7250 (Theory of Electricity and Magnetism), PHYS 7400 (Statistical Mechanics) and PHYS 7300-7350 (Quantum Mechanics). From these four courses, a student must select at least two and satisfactorily complete a minimum of one semester in each. No more than seven hours of PHYS 7990, Research and Thesis, may be credited toward the required minimum of 30 hours. An additional 15 hours must be taken in approved courses in physics or in a related field. The master's degree may be conferred either with or without a research thesis. The Doctor of Philosophy degree is conferred only upon students who have shown clear evidence of high academic achievement as well as the ability to conduct original research. A dissertation embodying the results of the candidate's original research represents an important part of the requirements for this degree.
