description: The long-term goal of this research is to develop self-driving e-scooter technology to increase sustainability, accessibility, and equity in urban mobility. Toward this goal, in this work, we design and implement a self-driving e-scooter with the ability to safely travel along a pre-planned route using automated, onboard control without a rider. We also construct an autonomous driving framework by synthesizing open-source robotics software libraries with custom-designed modules specific to an e-scooter, including path planning and state estimation. The hardware and software development steps along with design choices and pitfalls are documented. Results of real-world autonomous navigation of our retrofitted e-scooter, along with the effectiveness of our localization methods are presented.

description: We report that a deionized water etching and thermal annealing technique can be effective for preparing atomically-flat and singly-terminated surfaces of single crystalline SrTiO3 substrates. After a two-step thermal-annealing and deionized-water etching procedure, topography measured by atomic force microscopy shows the evolution of substrates from a rough to step-terraced surface structure. Lateral force microscopy confirms that the atomically-flat surfaces are singly-terminated. Moreover, this technique can be used to remove excessive strontium oxide or hydroxide composites segregated on the SrTiO3 surface. This acid-etchant-free technique facilitates the preparation of atomically-aligned SrTiO3 substrates, which promotes studies on two-dimensional physics of complex oxide interfaces.

description: Precise measurement of two-neutrino double beta decay (DBD) half-life is an important step for the searches of Majorana neutrinos with neutrinoless double beta decay. We report the measurement of DBD half-life of $^{136}$Xe using the PandaX-4T dual-phase Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with 3.7-tonne natural xenon and the first 94.9-day physics data release. The background model in the fiducial volume is well constrained in situ by events in the outer active region. With a $^{136}$Xe exposure of 15.5 kg-year, we establish the half-life as $2.27 \pm 0.03 (stat.)\pm 0.10 (syst.)\times 10^{21}$ years. This is the first DBD half-life measurement with natural xenon and demonstrates the physics capability of a large-scale liquid xenon TPC in the field of rare event searches.

description: We report the latest Planet Hunter results, including PH2 b, a Jupiter-size (R_PL = 10.12 \pm 0.56 R_E) planet orbiting in the habitable zone of a solar-type star. PH2 b was elevated from candidate status when a series of false positive tests yielded a 99.9% confidence level that transit events detected around the star KIC 12735740 had a planetary origin. Planet Hunter volunteers have also discovered 42 new planet candidates in the Kepler public archive data, of which 33 have at least three transits recorded. Most of these transit candidates have orbital periods longer than 100 days and 20 are potentially located in the habitable zones of their host stars. Nine candidates were detected with only two transit events and the prospective periods are longer than 400 days. The photometric models suggest that these objects have radii that range between Neptune to Jupiter. These detections nearly double the number of gas giant planet candidates orbiting at habitable zone distances. We conducted spectroscopic observations for nine of the brighter targets to improve the stellar parameters and we obtained adaptive optics imaging for four of the stars to search for blended background or foreground stars that could confuse our photometric modeling. We present an iterative analysis method to derive the stellar and planet properties and uncertainties by combining the available spectroscopic parameters, stellar evolution models, and transiting light curve parameters, weighted by the measurement errors. Planet Hunters is a citizen science project that crowd-sources the assessment of NASA Kepler light curves. The discovery of these 43 planet candidates demonstrates the success of citizen scientists at identifying planet candidates, even in longer period orbits with only two or three transit events.

Ordering Non-Linear Subspaces for Airfoil Design and Optimization via Rotation Augmented Gradients

description: Airfoil optimization is critical to the design of turbine blades and aerial vehicle wings, among other aerodynamic applications. This design process is often constrained by the computational time required to perform CFD simulations on different design options, or the availability of adjoint solvers. A common method to mitigate some of this computational expense in nongradient optimization is to perform dimensionality reduction on the data and optimize the design within this smaller subspace. Although learning these low-dimensional airfoil manifolds often facilitates aerodynamic optimization, these subspaces are often still computationally expensive to explore. Moreover, the complex data organization of many current nonlinear models make it difficult to reduce dimensionality without model retraining. Inducing orderings of latent components restructures the data, reduces dimensionality reduction information loss, and shows promise in providing near-optimal representations in various dimensions while only requiring the model to be trained once. Exploring the response of airfoil manifolds to data and model selection and inducing latent component orderings have potential to expedite airfoil design and optimization processes. This thesis first investigates airfoil manifolds by testing the performance of linear and nonlinear dimensionality reduction models, examining if optimized geometries occupy lower dimensional manifolds than non-optimized geometries, and by testing if the learned representation can be improved by using target optimization conditions as data set features. We find that autoencoders, although often suffering from stability issues, have increased performance over linear methods such as PCA in low dimensional representations of airfoil databases. We also find that the use of optimized geometry and the addition of performance parameters have little effect on the intrinsic dimensionality of the data. This thesis then explores a recently proposed approach for inducing latent space orderings called Rotation Augmented Gradient (RAG) [1]. We extend their algorithm to nonlinear models to evaluate its efficacy at creating easily-navigable latent spaces with reduced training, increased stability, and improved design space preconditioning. Our extension of the RAG algorithm to nonlinear models has potential to expedite dimensional analyses in cases with near-zero gradients and long training times by eliminating the need to retrain the model for different dimensional subspaces

description: We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of the newly synthesized double perovskites Y$_{2}$NiIrO$_{6}$ and La$_{2}$NiIrO$_{6}$, using density functional calculations, crystal field theory, superexchange pictures, and Monte Carlo simulations. We find that both systems are antiferromagnetic (AFM) Mott insulators, with the high-spin Ni$^{2+}$ $t_{2g}$$^{6}e_{g}$$^{2}$ ($S=1$) and the low-spin Ir$^{4+}$ $t_{2g}$$^{5}$ ($S=1/2$) configurations. We address that their lattice distortion induces $t_{2g}$-$e_{g}$ orbital mixing and thus enables the normal Ni$^{+}$-Ir$^{5+}$ charge excitation with the electron hopping from the Ir `$t_{2g}$' to Ni `$e_g$' orbitals, which promotes the AFM Ni$^{2+}$-Ir$^{4+}$ coupling. Therefore, the increasing $t_{2g}$-$e_{g}$ mixing accounts for the enhanced $T_{\rm N}$ from the less distorted La$_{2}$NiIrO$_{6}$ to the more distorted Y$_{2}$NiIrO$_{6}$. Moreover, our test calculations find that in the otherwise ideally cubic Y$_{2}$NiIrO$_{6}$, the Ni$^{+}$-Ir$^{5+}$ charge excitation is forbidden, and only the abnormal Ni$^{3+}$-Ir$^{3+}$ excitation gives a weakly ferromagnetic (FM) behavior. Furthermore, we find that owing to the crystal field splitting, Hund exchange, and broad band formation in the highly coordinated fcc sublattice, Ir$^{4+}$ ions are not in the $j_{\rm eff}=1/2$ state but in the $S=1/2$ state carrying a finite orbital moment by spin-orbit coupling (SOC). This work clarifies the varying magnetism in Y$_{2}$NiIrO$_{6}$ and La$_{2}$NiIrO$_{6}$ associated with the lattice distortions.

description: Постановка проблемы. На сегодняшний день задача обеспечения безопасности и контроля качества пищевой продукции является одной из важнейших для жизнедеятельности людей по всему миру. Универсальность метода радиационной обработки в отношении продуктов питания подтверждается постоянным ростом ассортимента продукции, подвергающейся воздействию ионизирующего излучения, увеличением числа центров обработки, предоставляющих данную услугу, а также введением государственных стандартов, регламентирующих проведение радиационной обработки и контроль качества целого ряда категорий продуктов, прошедших обработку.

Цель. Подобрать оптимальные параметры обработки охлажденного мяса индейки ускоренными электронами, не приводящие к изменениям ее органолептических свойств.

Результаты. Представлены результаты эксперимента по воздействию различных доз электронного излучения с энергией 1 МэВ на микробиологические и органолептические показатели охлажденного мяса индейки. Установлены значения поглощенных доз, при которых происходит эффективное снижение концентрации патогенов в мясе индейки без изменения ее органолептических параметров. Разработан алгоритм, позволяющий оценить равномерность распределения дозы облучения по всему объему продукта, подвергающегося радиационной обработке электронным излучением как при однократном, так и при двукратном облучении с противоположных сторон.

Практическая значимость. Компьютерное моделирование позволило не только определить дозу, поглощенную продуктом, но и решить обратную задачу, а именно: по заданным параметрам дозового диапазона облучения для данного типа продукта, распределения дозы по всему объему продукта и допустимому значению мощности дозы определить входные параметры радиационной обработки, такие как энергия электронов, ток пучка, время облучения и значение заряда, поглощенного продуктом в ходе облучения.

"So Long as They Are Efficient": Annexation, Boosterism and Law in Progressive Era Pittsburgh

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: History
subject: 0337

description: My thesis examines annexation disputes from the mid-1800s to the present in Pittsburgh. My particular focus is on the clashes between the cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny. I look at why Pittsburgh’s annexation of Allegheny in 1906 succeeded while previous attempts to annex Allegheny failed. A combination of better lawyering and a unified elite class enabled Pittsburgh to finally annex Allegheny. The U.S. Supreme Court made this annexation official through the 1907 case of Hunter v. City of Pittsburgh. This case has a rich history and legacy. Much can be gleaned about the broader Progressive Era by examining this case in conjunction with the annexation. I conclude that the case and the annexation reflected a drive for efficiency then sweeping the elites of the nation. In addition, I assert that both the annexation and the Hunter decision highlighted the power of elites at this time to accomplish their goals.

description: In this paper we present the perturbative computation of the renormalization functions for the quark field and for a complete set of ultra-local fermion bilinears. The computation of the relevant Green's functions was carried out at 1-loop level for the staggered action using massive fermions. The gluon links which appear both in the fermion action and in the definition of the bilinears have been improved by applying a stout smearing procedure up to 2 times, iteratively. In the gluon sector we employed the Symanzik improved gauge action for different sets of values of the Symanzik coefficients. The renormalization functions are presented in (two variants of) the RI' and in the MSbar renormalization scheme; the dependence on all stout parameters, as well as on the fermion mass, the gauge fixing parameter and the renormalization scale, is shown explicitly. This work is related to our recent paper [Phys. Rev. D86 (2012) 094512, arXiv:1209.6015]. To make our results easily accessible to the reader, we include them in the distribution package of this paper, as a Mathematica input file, Staggered.m.

description: We optimise a translationally invariant, sequential quantum circuit on a superconducting quantum device to simulate the groundstate of the quantum Ising model through its quantum critical point. We further demonstrate how the dynamical quantum critical point found in quenches of this model across its quantum critical point can be simulated. Our approach avoids finite-size scaling effects by using sequential quantum circuits inspired by infinite matrix product states. We provide efficient circuits and a variety of error mitigation strategies to implement, optimise and time-evolve these states.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: The goal of this case study is to highlight the sequence of decisions related to the production of hemp during the 2019 season. Hemp was seen as a tremendous opportunity for farmers after the legalization of hemp production in the 2018 Farm Bill. The newness of the production techniques and supply chain implies uncertainty in all the common sources of risk found in agriculture: production risk, market or price risk, financial risk, institutional risk and human resource risk (Hoag, 2010). Based on the experience of a farmer primarily specialized in the production and direct selling of organic vegetables in Southwest Virginia, the story illustrates how decisions are made in a context of uncertainty. An active reading of the narrative, information, and data delivered in figures and exhibits allows a student to develop a comprehensive approach to risk management in the context of specialty crop production. We recommend the student use the case study to create a “risk management dashboard” with matrices for farmers considering hemp production as a potential enterprise.

description: We propose a theoretical approach based on (constrained) density functional theory and the Franck-Condon approximation for the calculation of the temperature dependent photoluminescence of nanostructures. The method is computationally advantageous and only slightly more demanding than a standard density functional theory calculation and includes transitions into multiphonon final states (higher class transitions). We use the approach for Si and CdSe colloidal nanoclusters (NCs) with up to 693 atoms and obtain very good agreement with experiment which allows us to identify specific peaks and explain their origin. Generally, breathing type modes are shown to dominate the phonon replicas, while optical modes have significant contributions for CdSe NCs and play a lesser role in Si NCs. We obtain significant anti-Stokes peak starting at 140K for Si NC explaining the broadening observed in the corresponding experiment. We also apply the method to small molecular-like carbon structures (diamondoids), where electron-phonon coupling is typically large, and find that multiphonon processes (up to class 4) are very relevant and necessary to compare favorably with experiment. While it is crucial to include these multiphonon states in the small diamondoids with few tens of atoms, neglecting them in only marginally larger Si$_{87}$H$_{76}$ and Cd$_{43}$Se$_{44}$H$^*_{76}$ (and larger) quantum dots represents a good approximation.

description: Controlling the waveform of light is the key for a versatile light source in classical and quantum electronics. Although pulse shaping of classical light is a mature technique and has been used in various fields, more advanced applications would be realized by a light source that generates arbitrary quantum light with arbitrary temporal waveform. We call such a device a quantum arbitrary waveform generator (Q-AWG). The Q-AWG must be able to handle versatile quantum states of light, which are fragile. Thus, the Q-AWG requires a radically different methodology from classical pulse shaping. In this paper, we invent an architecture of Q-AWGs that can operate semi-deterministically at a repetition rate over GHz in principal. We demonstrate its core technology via generating highly non-classical states with waveforms that have never been realized before. This result would lead to powerful quantum technologies based on Q-AWGs such as practical optical quantum computing.

title: Carpals and tarsals of mule deer, black bear and human: an osteology guide for the archaeologist
Creators: name: Smart, Tamela S.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2009

description:
Existing osteological literature often lacks descriptions and illustrations of the smaller elements, such as hand and foot bones, of animals commonly found in the archaeological record. Black bear (Ursus americanus) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) are both cosmopolitan species and important resources for indigenous peoples, resulting in their widespread presence in faunal assemblages. Additionally, the carpal and tarsal elements of these two mammalian taxa can be difficult to distinguish from human elements because of their similarities in size and shape. Proper identification of faunal and human remains is paramount to responsible cultural resource management (CRM). This thesis presents a textual and photographic osteological guide of black bear and mule deer carpals and tarsals and provides the means for distinguishing these elements from their human counterparts.
MODELING OF HIGH PRESSURE WATER MIST SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS FOR THE PROTECTION OF AIRCRAFT HANGARS

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Engineering

description: The U.S. Congress has mandated the phase out of foam suppression systems for the protection of aircraft hangars due to the toxic composition of fluorine foams. Water mist is one alternative proposed to replace foam systems. This study examines high pressure water mist systems in a ceiling configuration and a floor and ceiling combination layout on three fire scenarios in FDS. This work is split into three models- the fire model, the water mist model, and the extinction and evaporation model before combining each component in a final hangar configuration. Within the fuel model, three radiation modeling options were tested, and each fire was constructed. The water mist model tested the length scales of the jet stream and associated grid resolution. The evaporation model was verified to ensure accurate heat transfer between Lagrangian particles and the gas phase. Simulations in the final hangar configuration showed the high-pressure water mist systems were able to provide fire control, performing better at an earlier activation time. The floor and ceiling combination layout provided faster control compared to the ceiling nozzle only layout. A wind condition was added in a second round of testing, but minimally impacted the performance of the systems.

description: We present FiloBass: a novel corpus of music scores and annotations which focuses on the important but often overlooked role of the double bass in jazz accompaniment. Inspired by recent work that sheds light on the role of the soloist, we offer a collection of 48 manually verified transcriptions of professional jazz bassists, comprising over 50,000 note events, which are based on the backing tracks used in the FiloSax dataset. For each recording we provide audio stems, scores, performance-aligned MIDI and associated metadata for beats, downbeats, chord symbols and markers for musical form. We then use FiloBass to enrich our understanding of jazz bass lines, by conducting a corpus-based musical analysis with a contrastive study of existing instructional methods. Together with the original FiloSax dataset, our work represents a significant step toward a fully annotated performance dataset for a jazz quartet setting. By illuminating the critical role of the bass in jazz, this work contributes to a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the genre.

description: Despite recent successes in hair acquisition that fits a high-dimensional hair model to a specific input subject, generative hair models, which establish general embedding spaces for encoding, editing, and sampling diverse hairstyles, are way less explored. In this paper, we present GroomGen, the first generative model designed for hair geometry composed of highly-detailed dense strands. Our approach is motivated by two key ideas. First, we construct hair latent spaces covering both individual strands and hairstyles. The latent spaces are compact, expressive, and well-constrained for high-quality and diverse sampling. Second, we adopt a hierarchical hair representation that parameterizes a complete hair model to three levels: single strands, sparse guide hairs, and complete dense hairs. This representation is critical to the compactness of latent spaces, the robustness of training, and the efficiency of inference. Based on this hierarchical latent representation, our proposed pipeline consists of a strand-VAE and a hairstyle-VAE that encode an individual strand and a set of guide hairs to their respective latent spaces, and a hybrid densification step that populates sparse guide hairs to a dense hair model. GroomGen not only enables novel hairstyle sampling and plausible hairstyle interpolation, but also supports interactive editing of complex hairstyles, or can serve as strong data-driven prior for hairstyle reconstruction from images. We demonstrate the superiority of our approach with qualitative examples of diverse sampled hairstyles and quantitative evaluation of generation quality regarding every single component and the entire pipeline.

description: Nuclei located in the neutron-deficient Pb region have a complex structure, rapidly evolving as a function of neutron and proton numbers. The most famous example is $^{186}$Pb where the three lowest levels are $0^+$ states, the two excited $0^+$ ones being located at low excitation energy around 600 keV. Coexisting structures with different properties are found in the neighboring nuclei. Many experiments have been performed over the last few years in which in-band and out-of-band $γ$ transition probabilities have been measured. A detailed interpretation of experimental data requires the use of a method going beyond a mean-field approach that permits to determine spectra and transition probabilities. Such methods have already been applied to selected isotopes in this mass region. Our aim is to provide a systematic investigation of this mass region in order to determine how well experimental data can be understood using a state-of-the-art method for nuclear structure. The starting point of our method is a set of mean-field wave functions generated with a constraint on the axial quadrupole moment and using a Skyrme energy density functional. Correlations beyond the mean field are introduced by projecting mean-field wave functions on angular-momentum and particle number and by mixing the symmetry restored wave functions as a function of the axial quadrupole moment. A detailed comparison with the available data is performed for energies, charge radii, spectroscopic quadrupole moments, $E0$ and $E2$ transition probabilities for the isotopic chains of neutron deficient Hg, Pb, Po and Rn. The connection between our results and the underlying mean field is also analyzed. Qualitative agreement with the data is obtained although our results indicate that the actual energy density functionals have to be improved further to achieve a quantitative agreement.

title: Emperor Norton I: the rise of a San Francisco cultural icon 1859-1880
Creators: name: Martin, Dieter
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2009

description:
The California Gold Rush had a profound effect on the emerging city of San Francisco. Extreme highs and lows in the economic environment created an atmosphere in which the city's citizens were used to hardship and adversity. These conditions, combined with the importance of the newspaper industry explain the emergence of an eccentric individual such as Emperor Norton. Although he began his career in San Francisco as a prominent businessman, it is his later life as the self declared Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico which is most remembered today. Joshua Norton's career as Emperor mirrored that of San Francisco itself. His proclamations are remarkably insightful and forward thinking for his time and provide a picture of the city in the 1860s and 1870s. However, by the twentieth century, Norton came to be seen as a symbol of San Francisco and the tolerance the city was seen as expressing towards others. The enduring nature of Emperor Norton in San Francisco's memory is a testament to his popularity, both during his life and the subsequent creation of his symbolic persona.

description: We have studied the stability of wormhole geometries, under massless scalar, electromagnetic and axial gravitational perturbations, in the context of higher dimensional spacetimes. Intriguingly, the construction of a wormhole spacetime in the presence of higher dimensions, known as braneworld wormholes, \emph{does not} require the existence of exotic matter fields, unlike the scenario in four spacetime dimensions. Being a nonvacuum spacetime, the effective potential experienced by the axial gravitational perturbation differs considerably from the scenarios involving black holes. In particular, the present work provides one of the first attempts to study the gravitational perturbations of the wormhole spacetimes. Our analysis, involving both analytical and numerical techniques, demonstrates that there are echoes in the time domain signal of all the perturbations and the echo time delay is intimately related to the parameters originating from higher dimensions. Thereby combining the attempt to search for wormholes and extra dimensions, with the existence of gravitational wave echoes. Implications and future directions have also been discussed.

description: Surfaces of natural diamonds etched in high-pressure experiments in H2O, CO2 and H2O-NaCl fluids were investigated using Atomic Force Microscopy. Partial dissolution of the crystals produced several types of surface features including the well-known trigons and hillocks and revealed several new types of defects. Besides well-known trigons and dissolution hillocks several new types of defects are observed. The most remarkable ones are assigned to anelastic twins of several types. The observation of abundant microtwins, ordering of hillocks and presence of defects presumably related to knots of branched dislocations suggests importance of post-growth deformation events on formation of diamond microstructure. This work confirms previous reports of ordering of extended defects in some deformed diamonds. In addition, the current work shows that natural diamonds deform not only by dislocation mechanism and slip, but also but mechanical twinning. The dominant mechanism should depend on pressure-temperature-stress conditions during diamond transport from the formation domain to the Earth surface.

Thermodynamics of Deformed AdS-Schwarzschild Black Hole

description: By implementing the gravitational decoupling method, we find the deformed AdS-Schwarzschild black hole solution when there is also an additional gravitational source, which obeys the weak energy condition. We also deliberately choose its energy density to be a certain monotonic function consistent with the constraints. In the method, there is a positive parameter that can adjust the strength of the effects of the geometric deformations on the background geometry, which we refer to as a deformation parameter. The condition of having an event horizon limits the value of the deformation parameter to an upper bound. After deriving various thermodynamic quantities as a function of the event horizon radius, we mostly focus on the effects of the deformation parameter on the horizon structure, the thermodynamics of the solution and the temperature of the Hawking- Page phase transition. The results show that with the increase of the deformation parameter: the minimum horizon radius required for a black hole to have local thermodynamic equilibrium and the minimum temperature below which there is no black hole decrease, and the horizon radius of the phase transition and the temperature of the first-order Hawking-Page phase transition increase. Furthermore, when the deformation parameter vanishes, the obtained thermodynamic behavior of the black hole is consistent with that stated in the literature.

description: We study supersymmetric black holes in $AdS_4$ in the framework of four dimensional gauged $\N=2$ supergravity coupled to hypermultiplets. We derive the flow equations for a general electrically gauged theory where the gauge group is Abelian and, restricting them to the fixed points, we derive the gauged supergravity analogue of the attractor equations for theories coupled to hypermultiplets. The particular models we analyze are consistent truncations of M-theory on certain Sasaki-Einstein seven-manifolds. We study the space of horizon solutions of the form $AdS_2\times Σ_g$ with both electric and magnetic charges and find a four-dimensional solution space when the theory arises from a reduction on $Q^{111}$. For other $SE_7$ reductions, the solutions space is a subspace of this. We construct explicit examples of spherically symmetric black holes numerically.

title: Bridging biblical faith and ecology for adults an experiential environmental education program
Creators: name: Houck, Linda
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2009

description:
Understanding the implications of an ecological view of nature for a Christian has recently become a growing interest to the Evangelical community. Until recently resources for exploring how ecological understanding might be incorporated into Christian thought and action have been scarce and difficult to find. Books and internet resources are now emerging, but these represent only a fraction of potential resources and approaches to environmental education for Christians who desire to connect their faith with ecological understanding. This project aims to move beyond the passive and theoretical perspectives of print and media discussions to practical encounters with the natural world. Information comes from print and internet sources, but greater engagement and personal involvement is possible from direct exposure of the natural world informed by these sources. Infusing experiential environmental education programs with biblical themes provides a way for Christians to understand and appreciate their place in the natural world upon which human society depends. This field-based program offers interested individuals with a resource for doing this sort of environmental education. It presents a practical workshop which can be implemented by a facilitator without great cost or experience in doing such programs. Directions and suggestions for implementation are provided.
