TL;DR: An all-optical atomic clock referenced to the 1.064-petahertz transition of a single trapped199Hg+ ion is demonstrated and an upper limit for the fractional frequency instability of 7 × 10−15 is measured in 1 second of averaging—a value substantially better than that of the world's best microwave atomic clocks.
Abstract: Microwave atomic clocks have been the de facto standards for precision time and frequency metrology over the past 50 years, finding widespread use in basic scientific studies, communications, and navigation. However, with its higher operating frequency, an atomic clock based on an optical transition can be much more stable. We demonstrate an all-optical atomic clock referenced to the 1.064-petahertz transition of a single trapped 199Hg+ ion. A clockwork based on a mode-locked femtosecond laser provides output pulses at a 1-gigahertz rate that are phase-coherently locked to the optical frequency. By comparison to a laser-cooled calcium optical standard, an upper limit for the fractional frequency instability of 7 x 10(-15) is measured in 1 second of averaging-a value substantially better than that of the world's best microwave atomic clocks.

TL;DR: In this article, the amplitude of the GRACE signal was determined to 1.5 cm of water thickness when smoothed over 1000 km, and 30% better for a 1500 km smoothing radius, and 40% worse for a 750 km radius.
Abstract: Eleven monthly GRACE gravity field solutions are now available for analyses. We show those fields can be used to recover monthly changes in water storage, both on land and in the ocean, to accuracies of 1.5 cm of water thickness when smoothed over 1000 km. The amplitude of the annually varying signal can be determined to 1.0 cm. Results are 30% better for a 1500 km smoothing radius, and 40% worse for a 750 km radius. We estimate the annually varying component of water storage for three large drainage basins (the Mississippi, the Amazon, and a region draining into the Bay of Bengal), to accuracies of 1.0–1.5 cm.

TL;DR: In this article, the identity and connection with the Hilbert spaces of entire functions of growth (1, 1) are studied. And the application to the evaluation of matrix elements of finite group elements and the contraction to the usual coherent states are discussed.
Abstract: Generalized “Coherent” States are the eigenstates of the lowering and raising operators of non-compact groups. In particular the discrete series of representations ofSO (2, 1) are studied in detail: the resolution of the identity and the connection with the Hilbert spaces of entire functions of growth (1, 1). Also discussed are the application to the evaluation of matrix elements of finite group elements and the contraction to the usual coherent states.

TL;DR: Mechanical work for step-to-step transitions, rather than pendular motion itself, appears to be a major determinant of the metabolic cost of walking.
Abstract: In the single stance phase of walking, center of mass motion resembles that of an inverted pendulum. Theoretically, mechanical work is not necessary for producing the pendular motion, but work is needed to redirect the center of mass velocity from one pendular arc to the next during the transition between steps. A collision model predicts a rate of negative work proportional to the fourth power of step length. Positive work is required to restore the energy lost, potentially exacting a proportional metabolic cost. We tested these predictions with humans (N=9) walking over a range of step lengths (0.4-1.1 m) while keeping step frequency fixed at 1.8 Hz. We measured individual limb external mechanical work using force plates, and metabolic rate using indirect calorimetry. As predicted, average negative and positive external mechanical work rates increased with the fourth power of step length (from 1 W to 38 W; r(2)=0.96). Metabolic rate also increased with the fourth power of step length (from 7 W to 379 W; r(2)=0.95), and linearly with mechanical work rate. Mechanical work for step-to-step transitions, rather than pendular motion itself, appears to be a major determinant of the metabolic cost of walking.
