Seamount research, more often than not,
is carried out by highly specialized science
teams with narrowly focused science objectives.
As a result, different seamount science
disciplines often do not collaborate or are
not even aware of each other. However, it is
obvious that interdisciplinary collaboration
is the most successful approach...
Seamounts are windows into the deep Earth that are helping to
elucidate various deep Earth processes. For example, thermal and mechanical
properties of oceanic lithosphere can be determined from the flexing of oceanic
crust caused by the growth of seamounts on top of it. Seamount trails also are
excellent recorders...
We use a combinatorial approach to study the trajectory of a light ray constrained to Euclidian plane R^2 with random reflecting obstacles placed throughout R^2. For the 2D Lorentz lattice gas (LLG) model we derive an analogue of Russo's formula of increasing events in percolation.
In recent years quantum random walks have garnered much interest among quantum information researchers. Part of the reason is the prospect that many hard problems can be solved efficiently by employing algorithms based on quantum random walks, in the same way that classical random walks have played a central role...
We construct a quantum interchange walk, related to classical walks with memory. This gives us a coinless discrete walk, while the origin in classical walks with memory offers the promise of use of existing tools from classical memoried walks. This approach readily reproduces all standard approaches. We briefly discuss its...
The OSU Government Relations Office provides periodic updates that describe events in Washington, DC and Salem. These updates include insights on how budget and policy decisions at the state and federal level will affect OSU and are issued once or twice a month, depending on the level of activities in...
The Orang Asli are the first people of the Malayo-Thai Peninsula. The first edition of the Orang Asli biomedical bibliography was appended in a book; the second edition was part of a general bibliography on Orang Asli. This third edition includes more recent studies but is also timely because Orang...
