X-ray Point Sources and Radio Galaxies in Clusters: Source of Distributed Heating of the ICM?
In our ongoing multi-wavelength study of cluster AGN, we find ~75% of the
spectroscopically identified cluster X-ray point sources (XPS) with
L(0.3-8.0keV)>10^{42} erg s^{-1} and cluster radio galaxies with P(1.4 GHz) >
3x10^{23} W Hz^{-1} in 11 moderate redshift clusters (0.2<z<0.4) are located
within 500 kpc from the cluster center. In addition, these sources are much
more centrally concentrated than luminous cluster red sequence (CRS) galaxies.
With the exception of one luminous X-ray source, we find that cluster XPSs are
hosted by passive red sequence galaxies, have X-ray colors consistent with an
AGN power-law spectrum, and have little intrinsic obscuring columns in the
X-ray (in agreement with previous studies). Our cluster radio sources have
properties similar to FR1s, but are not detected in X-ray probably because
their predicted X-ray emission falls below our sensitivity limits. Based on the
observational properties of our XPS population, we suggest that the cluster
XPSs are low-luminosity BL Lac objects, and thus are beamed low-power FR 1s.
Extrapolating the X-ray luminosity function of BL Lacs and the Radio luminosity
function of FR 1s down to fainter radio and X-ray limits, we estimate that a
large fraction, perhaps all CRSs with L>L* possess relativistic jets which can
inject energy into the ICM, potentially solving the uniform heating problem in
the central region of clusters.

The Evolution of Radio Galaxies and X-ray Point Sources in Coma Cluster Progenitors Since z~1.2
Using Chandra imaging spectroscopy and Very Large Array (VLA) L-band radio
maps, we have identified radio sources at P_{1.4GHz} >=5x10^{23} W Hz^{-1} and
X-ray point sources (XPSs) at L_{0.3-8keV}>=5x10^{42} erg s^{-1} in L>L*
galaxies in 12 high-redshift (0.4<z<1.2) clusters of galaxies. The radio
galaxies and XPSs in this cluster sample, chosen to be consistent with Coma
Cluster progenitors at these redshifts, are compared to those found at low-z
analyzed in Hart et al. (2009). Within a projected radius of 1 Mpc of the
cluster cores, we find 17 cluster radio galaxies (11 with secure redshifts,
including one luminous FR II radio source at z=0.826, and 6 more with host
galaxy colors similar to cluster ellipticals). The radio luminosity function
(RLF) of the cluster radio galaxies as a fraction of the cluster red sequence
(CRS) galaxies reveals significant evolution of this population from high-z to
low-z, with higher power radio galaxies situated in lower temperature clusters
at earlier epochs. Additionally, there is some evidence that cluster radio
galaxies become more centrally concentrated than CRS galaxies with cosmic time.
Within this same projected radius, we identify 7 spectroscopically-confirmed
cluster XPSs, all with CRS host galaxy colors. Consistent with the results from
Martini et al. (2009), we estimate a minimum X-ray active fraction of
1.4+/-0.8% for CRS galaxies in high-z clusters, corresponding to an approximate
10-fold increase from 0.15+/-0.15% at low-z. Although complete redshift
information is lacking for several XPSs in z>0.4 cluster fields, the increased
numbers and luminosities of the CRS radio galaxies and XPSs suggest a
substantial (9-10 fold) increase in the heat injected into high redshift
clusters by AGN compared to the present epoch.

Test of a 1.8 Tesla, 400 Hz Dipole for a Muon Synchrotron
A 1.8 T dipole magnet using thin grain oriented silicon steel laminations has
been constructed as a prototype for a muon synchrotron ramping at 400 Hz.
Following the practice in large 3 phase transformers and our own Opera-2d
simulations, joints are mitred to take advantage of the magnetic properties of
the steel which are much better in the direction in which the steel was rolled.
Measurements with a Hysteresigraph 5500 and Epstein frame show a high magnetic
permeability which minimizes stored energy in the yoke allowing the magnet to
ramp quickly with modest voltage. Coercivity is low which minimizes hysteresis
losses. A power supply with a fast Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)
switch and a capacitor was constructed. Coils are wound with 12 gauge copper
wire. Thin wire and laminations minimize eddy current losses. The magnetic
field was measured with a peak sensing Hall probe.

A Bilinear T(b) Theorem for Singular Integrals
In this work, we present a bilinear Tb theorem for singular integral
operators of Calder\'on-Zygmund type. We prove some new accretive type
Littlewood-Paley theory and bilinear paraproduct for a para-accretive function
setting. We also introduce a criterion for extending certain Lp Clader\'on
reproducing formulas to convergence in H1.

Metric logical categories and conceptual completeness for first order continuous logic
We begin the study of categorical logic for continuous model theory. In
particular, we 1. introduce the notions of metric logical categories and
functors as categorical equivalents of a metric theory and interpretations, 2.
prove a continuous version of conceptual completeness showing that $T^\eq$ is
the maximal conservative expansion of $T$, and 3. define the concept of a
metric pre-topos.

On the trace of the wave group and regularity of potentials
For the wave equation $\partial_t^2-\Delta+V$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with
compactly supported, real valued potential $V$, we establish a sharp relation
between Sobolev regularity of $V$ and the existence of finite order expansions
as $t\rightarrow 0$ for the relative trace of the wave group.

Time delay between photoemission from the 2p and 2s subshells of Neon
The R-Matrix incorporating Time (RMT) method is a new method for solving the
time-dependent Schroedinger equation for multi-electron atomic systems exposed
to intense short-pulse laser light. We have employed the RMT method to
investigate the time delay in the photoemission of an electron liberated from a
2p orbital in a neon atom with respect to one released from a 2s orbital
following absorption of an attosecond XUV pulse. Time delays due to XUV pulses
in the range 76-105 eV are presented. For an XUV pulse at the experimentally
relevant 105.2 eV, we calculate the time delay to be 10.2 +/- 1.3 attoseconds,
somewhat larger than estimated by other theoretical calculations, but still a
factor two smaller than experiment. We repeated the calculation for a photon
energy of 89.8 eV with a larger basis set capable of modelling
correlated-electron dynamics within the neon atom and the residual Ne(+) ion. A
time delay of 14.5 +/- 1.5 attoseconds was observed, compared to a 16.7 +/- 1.5
attosecond result using a single-configuration representation of the residual
Ne(+) ion.

Global Sensitivity Analysis of High Dimensional Neuroscience Models: An Example of Neurovascular Coupling
The complexity and size of state-of-the-art cell models have significantly
increased in part due to the requirement that these models possess complex
cellular functions which are thought--but not necessarily proven--to be
important. Modern cell models often involve hundreds of parameters; the values
of these parameters come, more often than not, from animal experiments whose
relationship to the human physiology is weak with very little information on
the errors in these measurements. The concomitant uncertainties in parameter
values result in uncertainties in the model outputs or Quantities of Interest
(QoIs). Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) aims at apportioning to individual
parameters (or sets of parameters) their relative contribution to output
uncertainty thereby introducing a measure of influence or importance of said
parameters. New GSA approaches are required to deal with increased model size
and complexity; a three stage methodology consisting of screening (dimension
reduction), surrogate modeling, and computing Sobol' indices, is presented. The
methodology is used to analyze a physiologically validated numerical model of
neurovascular coupling which possess 160 uncertain parameters. The sensitivity
analysis investigates three quantities of interest (QoIs), the average value of
$K^+$ in the extracellular space, the average volumetric flow rate through the
perfusing vessel, and the minimum value of the actin/myosin complex in the
smooth muscle cell. GSA provides a measure of the influence of each parameter,
for each of the three QoIs, giving insight into areas of possible physiological
dysfunction and areas of further investigation.
