The Arrow of Time and the Initial Conditions of the Universe
Robert M. Wald
The existence of a thermodynamic arrow of time in the present universe implies that the initial state of the observable portion of our universe at (or near) the ``big bang'' must h…
Contextual Constraint Modeling in Grid Application Workflows
G. E. Graham, M. Anzar Afaq, David Evans +3
This paper introduces a new mechanism for specifying constraints in distributed workflows. By introducing constraints in a contextual form, it is shown how different people and gro…
The Halo of the Milky Way
Heidi Jo Newberg, Brian Yanny
We show that the star counts in the spheroid of the Milky Way are not symmetric about the l=0, l=180 deg. plane. The minimum counts are found towards l=155 deg. The Galactic longit…
Variable stars as standard candles and stellar tracers
G. Bono, M. Cignoni
We review the current status of classical Cepheid and RR Lyrae distance scales. We discuss the most recent theoretical and empirical findings together with pros and cons of differe…
Multi-Terabyte EIDE Disk Arrays running Linux RAID5
D. A. Sanders, L. M. Cremaldi, V. Eschenburg +4
High-energy physics experiments are currently recording large amounts of data and in a few years will be recording prodigious quantities of data. New methods must be developed to h…
A new method of measuring the peculiar velocity power spectrum
Pengjie Zhang, Albert Stebbins, Roman Juszkiewicz +1
We show that by directly correlating the cluster kinetic Sunyaev Zeldovich (KSZ) flux, the cluster peculiar velocity power spectrum can be measured to accuracy by future…
