title: A Model-Based Systems Engineering Approach to e-VTOL Aircraft and Airspace Infrastructure Design for Urban Air Mobility
Creators: name: Glaudel, Heidi Selina
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This paper serves to contribute to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) by following the NASA Systems Engineering Handbook framework for a Systems Engineering (SE) design approach to an Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (e-VTOL) aircraft and the incorporating airspace infrastructure. The focus of this study is, by using the MBSE model created, to capture the technical requirements definition and design intent of the vehicle and airspace inclusive of community specific knowledge derived from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) NextGen Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Concept of Operations (ConOps) version 1.0. The stakeholder requirements derived from the FAA UAM NextGen ConOps will form the bedrock for the aircraft infrastructure requirements from which the flight mission requirements are derived. From these requirements, the profile of a notional flight mission is provided. Additionally, from the flight mission requirements, a design solution can be proposed and examined to ensure it meets the original stakeholder needs. The vehicle and associated airspace environment are modeled using an MBSE dedicated platform, Cameo Systems Modeler, in a language called SysML. The resulting MBSE model created can demonstrate the traceability between top-level system requirements down to the subcomponent-level design. In the conclusive study of the sub-system behavioral relationships, the analysis and validation of the proposed design solution can support model reliability.

description: Measuring the dispersion of photonic devices with small dispersion-length products is challenging due to the phase-sensitive, and alignment-intensive nature of conventional methods. In this letter, we demonstrate a quantum technique to extract the second-, and third-order chromatic dispersion of a short single-mode fiber using a fiber-based quantum nonlinear interferometer. The interferometer consists of two cascaded fiber-based biphoton sources, with each source acting as a nonlinear beamsplitter. A fiber under test is placed in between these two sources, and introduces a frequency-dependent phase that is imprinted upon the biphoton spectrum (interferogram) at the output of the interferometer. This interferogram contains within it the dispersion properties of the test fiber. Our technique has three novel features: (1) The broadband nature of the biphoton sources used in our setup allows accurate dispersion measurements on test devices with small dispersion-length products; (2) our all-fiber common-path interferometer requires no beam alignment or phase stabilization; (3) multiple phase-matching processes supported in our biphoton sources enables dispersion measurements at different wavelengths, which yields the third-order dispersion, achieved for the first time using a quantum optical technique.

description: Management planning for Canadian species at risk of extinction begins with recommendation for legal protection under the Species at Risk Act (SARA), and ends with Action Plans that guide management implementation. Roughly five years after the enactment of SARA in 2002, multiple studies identified taxonomic biases associated with the SARA listing process. Here, we provide a comprehensive test of whether taxonomic biases remain over a decade later. We also test whether biases in listing are propagated through to management implementation. We find that birds, reptiles and plants are more likely to be legally protected than other species. Arthropods and fishes are less likely to be protected, with unlisted fish species being twice as likely to be threatened by resource use than other unlisted species. We also find that arthropods and amphibians are less likely to have Action Plans than other species. In addition, we find no evidence that biases in listing or management have improved over time. Canadian species at risk recovery programs appear to be biased both in legal protection and management, disfavouring arthropods, amphibians and harvested fishes. If SARA is to fulfil its stated purpose, such biases must be directly addressed, through a transparent and formalised prioritisation system.

description: We present a calculation of a fourth-order, time-dependent density correlation function that measures higher-order spatiotemporall correlations of the density of a liquid. From molecular dynamics simulations of a glass-forming Lennard-Jones liquid, we find that the characteristic length scale of this function has a maximum as a function of time which increases steadily beyond the characteristic length of the static pair correlation function $g(r)$ in the temperature range approaching the mode coupling temperature from above.

description: We study the amplitude and spectral tilt of density perturbations in the simplest hybrid inflation models. We give an exact expression for the amplitude of quantum fluctuations on all scales in the limit where we can neglect the backreaction on the metric. This is a very good approximation for values of the inflaton field well below the Planck scale and our results remain valid far from the usual massless limit. We confirm that the primordial density spectrum in this model has a constant spectral index n>1 over all observable scales. For the small values of the tilt (n<1.4) required by observations, the results remain close to those obtained using the quasi-massless approximation.

description: My dissertation is about the moral epistemology of a theory of injustice. The orthodox paradigm maintains that we require an ideal theory of a perfectly just society in order to justify the principles for dealing with injustice. In contrast, I show that a theory of injustice is not dependent on ideal theory and develop a pragmatic realist alternative by critically engaging with the work of Elizabeth Anderson. My approach is pragmatist in stressing the importance of testing our principles against actual experience of their practical consequences, but it is realist in holding that justification must take into account the unjust motivations and actions of other agents. Whether racial integration is an imperative of justice depends on the extent to which unjust opposition to it means that conflicting courses of action have a better chance of mitigating racial injustice.

description: We report on measurements of the binding energies of several weakly bound vibrational states of the paramagnetic $^{174}$Yb$^{6}$Li molecule in the electronic ground state using two-photon spectroscopy in an ultracold atomic mixture confined in an optical dipole trap. We theoretically analyze the experimental spectrum to obtain an accurate description of the long-range potential of the ground state molecule. Based on the measured binding energies, we arrive at an improved value of the interspecies $s$-wave scattering length $a_{s0}=30$ $a_0$. Employing coherent two-photon spectroscopy we also observe the creation of ''dark'' atom-molecule superposition states in the heteronuclear Yb-Li system. This work is an important step towards the efficient production of ultracold YbLi molecules via association from an ultracold atomic mixture.

description: This dissertation explores various ways of working with acoustic analyses of speech in music composition. The first chapter presents an overview of whistled languages and discusses their potential to act as blueprints for optimizing phonetic data for compositional use. The second chapter details my workflow for incorporating formant and fundamental frequency analysis data from the phonetics software Praat into my compositional methodology. Broadly inspired by the ways in which whistled utterances transform spoken language, the workflow consists of an analysis phase in Praat followed by the conversion, optimization and orchestration of the extracted phonetic data in the computer-assisted composition environments OpenMusic and bach. Also included in the dissertation are two compositions that are both informed by phonetics. The first composition, ŠÀ {karāz} for large ensemble, contains, among the various ways it attempts to instrumentally imitate speech, a section that is constructed with the help of the workflow described in the second chapter. The second composition, eschaton according to bēl-rē’u-šu for percussion trio, engages in a deconstruction of the established roles of speech and instruments in my music, in which the performers are, at times, asked to imitate the sounds of percussion instruments with their voice, in an attempt to blur the line between speech as “the imitated” and instruments as “the imitators.”

description: Phonation onset and offset are important aspects of singing and speech. Their execution requires control of timing and coordination of complex vocal fold kinematics, glottal configuration, laryngeal muscular adjustments, and respiration. The purpose of this study was to examine effects of timing and coordination of vocal fold adductory and abductory movements on vocal fold vibratory behavior from offset to onset in a series of repeated phonation gestures, using high-speed digital imaging. Of particular interest were differences in vocal fold adductory positioning for slower and faster tempi; patterns of oscillation during onset and offset for the different tempi, and effects of onset and offset timing events on subsequent vibratory patterns. Method: 11 subjects, all classically trained, experienced professional singers, were videoendoscopically recorded singing a series of repeated notes at two different tempi, using high-speed digital imaging. Vocal fold adductory positioning was measured in terms of relative glottal width during onset in slower and faster tempi. Vocal fold vibratory behavior was measured in timing of offset and onset “events,” number, spacing, and timing of PPOs and pSSOs. Results: Relative glottal widths were significantly smaller for the faster tempo, supporting a hypothesis that vocal agility requires closer vocal fold approximation before onset. Significant differences were found in offset vs. onset timings and numbers of prephonatory and post-steady-state oscillations, supporting a theory of oscillation hysteresis.

description: The width of the broad emission lines in quasars is commonly characterized either by the full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) or the square root of the second moment of the line profile ($σ_{\rm line}$), and used as an indicator of the virial velocity of the broad-line region (BLR) in the estimation of black hole (BH) mass. We measure FWHM and $σ_{\rm line}$ for H$α$, H$β$ and Mg II broad lines in both the mean and root-mean-square (rms) spectra of a large sample of quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) project. We introduce a new quantitative recipe to measure $σ_{\rm line}$ that is reproducible, less susceptible to noise and blending in the wings, and scales with the intrinsic width of the line. We compare the four definitions of line width (FWHM and $σ_{\rm line}$ in mean and rms spectra, respectively) for each of the three broad lines and among different lines. There are strong correlations among different width definitions for each line, providing justification for using the line width measured in single-epoch spectroscopy as a virial velocity indicator. There are also strong correlations among different lines, suggesting alternative lines to H$β$ can be used to estimate virial BH masses. We further investigate the correlations between virial BH masses using different line width definitions and the stellar velocity dispersion of the host galaxies, and the dependence of line shape (characterized by the ratio FWHM/$σ_{\rm line}$) on physical properties of the quasar. Our results provide further evidence that FWHM is more sensitive to the orientation of a flattened BLR geometry than $σ_{\rm line}$, but the overall comparison between the virial BH mass and host stellar velocity dispersion does not provide conclusive evidence that one particular width definition is significantly better than the others.

description: Genomic stability is essential for maintaining cellular function and preventing oncogenic transformation. DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are the most severe form of DNA damage. Classical non-homologous end joining (cNHEJ) is one of two major DSB repair pathways in mammalian cells. During lymphocyte development, NHEJ is required for the repair of programmed double strand breaks (DSBs) occurring during V(D)J recombination and Class Switch Recombination (CSR). Defects in cNHEJ cause severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in patients and animal models. Misrepair of physiological DSBs generated during normal lymphocyte development results in clonal translocations, which is characteristic of human lymphoid malignancy: it is the most common cancer type in children and the third leading cancer type in adults. Lymphoid malignancies are characterized by clonal translocations involving the antigen receptor loci, which often arise from the misrepair of programmed double strand breaks (DSBs). Furthermore, cNHEJ also plays a critical role in aging and therapeutic responses to genotoxic cancer therapy.
      My thesis study focuses on the function and regulation of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs). DNA-PKcs is a vertebrate specific NHEJ factor and one of most abundant proteins in human cells. Together with the DNA binding Ku70 and Ku80 heterodimer, DNA-PKcs forms the DNA dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) holoenzyme. In addition to its important role in cNHEJ, DNA-PK also orchestrates the mammalian DNA damage response (DDR) together with the related ATM and ATR kinases by phosphorylating hundreds of partially overlapping substrates. My thesis goes deeper than the kinase and signaling function of DNA-PKcs during cNHEJ. We investigated the structural function of DNA-PKcs in cNHEJ (chapter 2) and A-EJ (chapter 3), using a mouse model with point mutations that lead to the expression of kinase dead (KD) DNA-PKcs. Second, we explored potential roles of DNA-PKcs outside of cNHEJ and A-EJ with a mouse model of DNA-PKcs lacking specific phosphorylation sites (chapter 4). Altogether, our results identified an unexpected structural function of DNA-PKcs in cNHEJ and the DNA damage response and expanded the purview of the function of DNA-PKcs into new areas, including hematopoiesis, alternative end-joining and potentially nucleoli stress.

Phosphorylation of TASK-1 and its role in atrial arrhythmias

description: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in human patients, and is associated with an increased risk of stroke and other morbidity. Acute-onset AF is frequently associated with cardiothoracic surgery, and its initiation is thought to involve proinflammatory signaling. Activated neutrophils are known to be arrhythmogenic, and one of the inflammatory mediators released from neutrophils that contributes to arrhythmogenicity is the phospholipid platelet-activating factor (PAF). PAF acts via a G-protein coupled receptor, present in myocytes, to activate downstream signaling cascades. Data from our lab indicates that inhibition of the two-pore domain potassium channel TASK-1 may contribute to the arrhythmogenic effect of PAF. This study describes the identification of a novel phosphorylation site in the human TASK-1 carboxyl terminus, T383, and has explored the association between phosphorylation at this site and the development or maintenance of various models of atrial fibrillation. Signaling downstream of PAF was previously shown to inhibit the two pore-domain potassium channel TASK-1. This inhibition required the activity of the epsilon isoform of protein kinase C, and a putative phosphorylation site was identified in the murine TASK-1 channel. In this thesis, I have identified a homologous phosphorylation site in the human TASK-1 channel, T383, and have demonstrated that this site is targeted in native atrial myocardium. The known pro-inflammatory effects of PAF, as well as the action potential abnormalities observed in previous studies after direct TASK-1 antagonism in isolated mouse ventricular myocytes, suggested that inhibitory phosphorylation at T383 could play a role in arrhythmias, particularly those with an inflammatory component to their etiology. Therefore, an aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between inhibitory TASK-1 phosphorylation and peri-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in a canine model. POAF is an acute onset of atrial fibrillation, with a known inflammatory component. This thesis describes the association of POAF with increased infiltration of neutrophils into atrial myocardium and the phosphorylation-dependent inhibition of TASK-1. Furthermore, this thesis has demonstrated that phosphorylation-dependent inhibition of TASK-1 is also associated with sustained atrial fibrillation (AF), in a canine model of chronic AF and in human patients. However, in chronic AF models, phosphorylation at T383 is not responsible for inhibition of the channel, and TASK-1 inhibition is caused by phosphorylation of another as yet unidentified site. Since TASK-1 inhibition is associated with AF in both animal models and in human patients, and in both the acute and chronic disease, TASK-1 could be a new drug target for improved pharmacotherapy in the prevention and treatment of atrial fibrillation.

description: Dengue fever is one of the most prominent viral infectious diseases in tropical countries. The virus is transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti, infecting over 300 million people each year. To understand how this mosquito is such an efficient vector, this research uses genetic tools to reveal what happens when a mosquito is infected by the virus and how a bacterium called Wolbachia might interfere with virus infection. This thesis has discovered new aspects about mosquito biology that could lead to improved disease surveillance and understanding of dengue virus evolution.

description: The Sullivan ore body was a world class iron-lead-zinc sulphide deposit that was discovered in 1892 near what became Kimberley, BC. The Sullivan mine operated from 1910 to 2001. A research program to investigate the conversion of waste rock dumps and tailing ponds into productive forest and rangeland was initiated in 1972. Initial studies focused on revegetation treatments for waste rock and mill tailings. Studies demonstrated that complex covers with at least 30 cm of growth medium is required to grow a satisfactory grass dominated plant community and at least 60 cm is required where alfalfa is a desired component. The studies also indicated that a float rock capillary barrier in the complex cover reduced the movement of acids, salts and metals into the growth medium. The reclamation plan prescribed the installation of native tree and shrub islands and corridors, extensive revegetation with agronomic grass and legume species and inclusions of small islands of native grasses. Native tree and shrub screening trials were used to determine which species would have adequate survival rates to contribute to the development of the wildlife habitat end use objectives. Treatments that created conditions that were free from competitive vegetation were tested to improve the probability of tree and shrub planting success. Vegetation monitoring protocols were developed to ensure that initial revegetation efforts were successful and long term revegetation results would achieve end use objectives. Ongoing monitoring includes species composition, biomass productivity (kg/ha), metals in soils and metal uptake in vegetation. Revegetation strategies that include the incorporation of native grass and legume islands need to consider the invasive nature of agronomic species with appropriately sized (large) islands. In addition, native tree and shrub islands and corridors need to be large enough to create unique and purposeful wildlife habitats. The long term succession in agronomic plant communities will be assessed through a rationalized monitoring program. In the future, the plan is to incorporate the investigation of other ecological parameters including soil development, root development, soil flora and fauna, and use patterns by a range of wildlife species.

description: Cercospora beticola causes cercospora leaf spot (CLS) on sugar beet and table beet. Accurate identification of this pathogen is critical to disease diagnosis and effective research outcomes for improved management. Several PCR assays have been described for identifying C. beticola; however, the specificity has either not been adequately tested or cross-reactions with related Cercospora species have occurred. Comparison of the three published assays for specificity to C. beticola indicated that each also amplified DNA from closely related Cercospora species. This study describes the development and subsequent assessment of conventional and quantitative PCR assays specific for detection of C. beticola. Assay specificity was confirmed across a broad range of Cercospora and other common fungal species using public DNA sequence databases and PCR. A conventional PCR assay was designed with fast PCR conditions and completed in under 40 min. The quantitative PCR assay detected 0.001–10 ng of C. beticola DNA. The effectiveness of the quantitative PCR assay to detect C. beticola DNA in diseased leaf tissue and diseased leaf tissue mixed with soil was also demonstrated. These assays provide an improved method for specific identification and quantification of C. beticola, and a valuable tool for enhancing studies into the biology of C. beticola and epidemiology of CLS.

description: Cross-sections of associated production of a Higgs boson decaying into bottom-quark pairs and an electroweak gauge boson, $W$ or $Z$, decaying into leptons are measured as a function of the gauge boson transverse momentum. The measurements are performed in kinematic fiducial volumes defined in the `simplified template cross-section' framework. The results are obtained using 79.8 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. All measurements are found to be in agreement with the Standard Model predictions, and limits are set on the parameters of an effective Lagrangian sensitive to modifications of the Higgs boson couplings to the electroweak gauge bosons.

description: We report the discovery of pressure-induced superconductivity in a semimetallic magnetic material CeTe$_{1.82}$. The superconducting transition temperature $T_{SC}$ = 2.7 K (well below the magnetic ordering temperatures) under pressure ($>$ 2 kbar) is remarkably high, considering the relatively low carrier density due to a charge-density-wave transition associated with lattice modulation. The coexisting magnetic structure of a mixed ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism can provide a clue for this high $T_{SC}$. We discuss a theoretical model for its possible pairing symmetry and pairing mechanism.

description: Topological effects in edge states are clearly visible on short lengths only, thus largely impeding their studies. On larger distances, one may be able to dynamically enhance topological signatures by exploiting the high mobility of edge states with respect to bulk carriers. Our work on microwave spectroscopy highlights the responses of the edges which host very mobile carriers, while bulk carriers are drastically slowed down in the gap. Though the edges are denser than expected, we establish that charge relaxation occurs on short timescales, and suggests that edge states can be addressed selectively on timescales over which bulk carriers are frozen.

description: Historians of photography have generally represented colonial photography as a predictable and oppressive genre. Taking the Belgian Congo (1885–1960) as its subject, this dissertation argues that the medium has also been the instrument of a rapprochement between metropole and colony, not only in the hands of Europeans, but also in those of Africans, as the consequence of a long-lasting reaction against the worldwide diffusion of the so-called “Congo atrocities” pictures (1904–1908). Chapter One explores this pivotal episode in the history of photography. The exceptional violence of these images prompted the counter-development of a representational ideal—the colonie modèle—that was deployed at two historical moments: first, in the interwar period with the illustrated magazine L’Illustration Congolaise, and after World War II with the governmental photographic service InforCongo. In Chapter Two and Three, the studies of L’Ilustration Congolaise and InforCongo trace how this colonial rapprochement was encouraged by increasingly representing Congolese décor and subjects as the mirrored image of Belgium, until it peaked in the late colonialism’s concept of a “Belgian-Congolese community.” Chapters Four and Five turn to Congolese family albums and queries how Africans’ self-representations sought to integrate—or not—the model colony. Based on research carried out in Belgium and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this dissertation is the first in-depth study of a history of photography in the Congo and the first comprehensive history of photography within a single colonial regime. Similarly, this project presents the first in-depth study of African family albums, examined in the multiple aspects that make up the significance of the photographic subject’s experience. Photography in the Belgian Congo developed in three contexts: European, African and colonial, which overlap but have usually been explored separately. This dissertation aims to weave together these different aspects, fully appreciating and integrating the vivid racial tensions inherent in a colonial system, but ultimately aspiring to complicate the visual colonial relations materialized in photography by taking into consideration parameters of assimilation and collaboration, co-authorship, or again, seduction.
