Power Spectra for Galaxy Shape Correlations

It has recently been argued that the observed ellipticities of galaxies may be determined at least in part by the primordial tidal gravitational field in which the galaxy formed. Long-range correlations in the tidal field could thus lead to an ellipticity-ellipticity correlation for widely separated galaxies. I present results of a calculation of the angular power spectrum of intrinsic galaxy shape correlations using a new model relating ellipticity to angular momentum. I show that for low redshift galaxy surveys, the model predicts that intrinsic correlations will dominate correlations induced by weak lensing, in good agreement with previous theoretical work and observations. The model also produces `E-mode' correlations enhanced by a factor of 3.5 over `B-modes' on small scales, making it harder to disentangle intrinsic correlations from weak lensing.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure. in ``The Shapes of Galaxies and Their Dark Halos,'' Yale Cosmology Workshop, Ed.

What it Means To Be a Man: A Character Study of Macduff

In this thesis I will be discussing my process as an actor when approaching a role, specifically the role of Macduff in William Shakespeare’s, Macbeth. I will include a character/script/event analysis as well as a journal of my experiences during the rehearsal process. I will also include production photos, programs, a link to my website, and my headshot and resume at the end

Existence, positivity and stability for a nonlinear model of cellular proliferation

In this paper, we investigate a system of two nonlinear partial differential equations, arising from a model of cellular proliferation which describes the production of blood cells in the bone marrow. Due to cellular replication, the two partial differential equations exhibit a retardation of the maturation variable and a temporal delay depending on this maturity. We show that this model has a unique solution which is global under a classical Lipschitz condition. We also obtain the positivity of the solutions and the local and global stability of the trivial equilibrium
