Cosmology from the Highly-Redshifted 21 cm Line (2009)

Furlanetto, Steven, Lidz, Adam, Loeb, Abraham, McQuinn, Matthew, Pritchard, Jonathan, Shapiro, Paul, ...

One of the next decade's most exciting prospects is to explore the cosmic "dark ages," during which the first stars in the Universe formed, with the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen. At z>6, this light...

Astrophysics from the Highly-Redshifted 21 cm Line (2009)

Furlanetto, Steven, Lidz, Adam, Loeb, Abraham, McQuinn, Matthew, Pritchard, Jonathan, Aguirre, James, ...

The cosmic dark ages and the epoch of reionization, during which the first generations of stars and galaxies formed, are among the most compelling frontiers of extragalactic astrophysics and...

First Detection of Cosmic Structure in the 21-cm Intensity Field (2008)

Pen, Ue-Li, Staveley-Smith, Lister, Peterson, Jeffrey, Chang, Tzu-Ching

We present the first statistically significant detection of cosmic structure using broadly distributed hydrogen radio emission. This is accomplished using a cross correlation with optical galaxies....

High Plains Regional Aquifer Study Revisited: A 20-Year Retrospective for Western Kansas (2003)

Peterson, Jeffrey, Bernardo, Daniel

The most comprehensive water policy analysis conducted on the High Plains region to date was the High Plains Ogallala Regional Aquifer Study completed in 1982. Twenty years later, we had a unique...

Stretching the Network: Using Transformed Forces in Demanding Contingencies Other Than War (1998)

Gompert, David C., Pung, Hans, O'Brien, Kevin A., Peterson, Jeffrey

Although the United States and other nations have pursued transformation to a networked force to prevail decisively in major expeditionary war, networking may also contribute to lower-scale...

Groundwater Use under Incomplete Information

Saak, Alexander, Peterson, Jeffrey

In this paper, we introduce a game theoretic model of groundwater extraction in a two-cell aquifer under incomplete information. A novel assumption is that individual users have incomplete knowledge...

Economic Efficiency of Short-Term Versus Long-Term Water Rights Buyouts

Wheeler, Ein, Golden, Bill, Johnson, Jeffrey, Peterson, Jeffrey

Because of the decline of the Ogallala Aquifer, water districts, regional water managers, and state water officers are becoming increasingly interested in conservation policies. This study evaluates...
