Lincoln College - Senior Members - Dr Neil Johnson gen. 29, 3119 (1996) Efficient Resource Distribution in a Minority Game with a spatial correlation of quantum dot electrons in a magnetic field , http://www.lincoln.ox.ac.uk/fellows/johnson/
Extractions: Professor Neil F Johnson Prof. Neil Johnson is one of the College Tutors in Physics. His training in theoretical physics included taking his BA at Cambridge University (St John's College) and PhD at Harvard University as a Kennedy Scholar. He was then made a Research Fellow at St John's College, Cambridge University, and a Professor in Physics at the Universidad de Los Andes (Bogota) where he was subsequently made an honorary Professor. Neil presented the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures on BBC TV in 1999, titled 'Arrows of Time'. He has also made various radio/TV appearances concerning his own research, and many reports of his research have appeared in the media (see below). His group's research focuses on complex systems, both in the classical and quantum regimes. This work incorporates a wide range of topics, ranging from quantum information processing in nanostructures, through to descriptions of the fluctuations in financial markets. Apart from their practical interest, these topics are of great importance from the perspective of basic science since they concern the 'hard' problem of out-of-equilibrium systems containing many interacting objects. In addition to his positions in the Physics Department and Lincoln College, he is also a director of Oxford University's new computational centre for the study of financial markets as complex systems OCCF (see

Extractions: CSIRO Atmospheric Research. Cellular automata have been suggested as powerful models for illustrating the emergence of complex behaviour from simple rules (e.g. [1]). Among the aims of such research are: identifying generic forms of complexity; modelling specific systems; testing techniques for inference in complex systems; modelling universal properties in cases where universality applies. Much of the work in this area has concentrated on deterministic cellular automata. The generalisation to stochastic cellular automata suggests the following advantages:

Extractions: dqmcodebase = "http://www.lib.virginia.edu/digital/scripts/" The Digital Formats Working Group was charged with answering the following questions 1. For all media types, what formats are saved as master copies and what formats are delivered? 2. How much standardization of format will we be doing? 3. What are the minimum compatibility standards that new collections must meet before we purchase them? The Group took as its point of departure the report created by the Digital Content Production and Standards Planning Team as part of our Library of Tomorrow (LoFT) planning effort. After reviewing that earlier report, the Digital Library Working Group made recommendations that update and augment the LoFT document. We have extended the scope to include a consideration of geographic and statistical information, noticeably absent from the first report. The Digital Formats Group offers three general recommendations regarding the determination of technical specifications for our digital library holdings: 2. The type, quality, rights status and anticipated use of the data should effect the determination of technical specifications for the capture of digital material. This Group recommends the use of baseline measures for the creation of content, but also recommends that the final determination of technical specifications should rest on an assessment of the above considerations. Productions and content specialists should jointly review basline standards on a yearly basis.

Extractions: Integrative Topics in Modern Physics CCCU New Faculty Workshop W. Wood View Bibliographic Information >> The student should gain some understanding of the theories of relativity and quantum mechanics as well as some of the more modern theories that follow from these two. The student should begin to recognize the many assumptions involved in the formulation of physical theories and begin to consider the relationship between these assumptions and a Christian world view. During the course, the student should develop an appreciation for the manner in which God's nature is manifested in His creation. Introduction It was my privilege to attend the interdisciplinary workshop "Christianity and the Liberal Arts" for new faculty from member colleges of the Christian College Coalition. Prior to attending the workshop in May '93, I had begun preparing for a new upper level course entitled "Topics in Modern Physics" that was to be introduced in the term following the Council workshop. Rather than concentrating on the transition between classical and quantum physics, more recent developments in physics of the twentieth century would be emphasized in this new course. Arriving at the workshop, I had some ideas of issues that would lend themselves well to integration, but I lacked a systematic plan to facilitate this integration. During the workshop a plan was developed under the guidance of Harold Heie. I am indebted to him for his patient help, and to the other workshop speakers as well, each of whom helped me to develop a clearer picture of what "integration" entails.

Extractions: DEFINITIONS Aerial Imagery This aerial imagery was acquired with a digital (no film), color infrared, airborne camera. It records data in the blue, green, red, and near-infrared wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. It was flown at a low enough altitude to obtain pixel resolutions of 1m x 1m. The camera and associated hardware were assembled in a light aircraft with a port in the floor. The camera lens was aimed downwards through the port, perpendicular to bottom of the plane. The imagery was later downloaded to produce digital image files. These were then georefe re nced and mosaicked, creating spatially oriented image layers of the area of interest. Albedo is the term used to describe the portion of light radiation incident on the earths surface which is reflected, not transmitted or absorbed by materials on the earths surface. Classification A classification groups pixels into discrete classes based on their multi-dimensional numerical values. Each input raster serves as an axis, and similar groups of pixels can form clusters. This figure shows an ideal clustering scheme of a classification with three input bands. In reality, clusters are usually not as discrete, and must be divided using statistical methods. Most image processing software packages offer numerous classification algorithms which divide data uniquely, and can have differing results.
