title: A Sedimentary Core Analysis of Late Pleistocene to Recent Sediments in a Portion of Bellingham Bay, Washington
Creators: name: Lowe, James T.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 1972

description:
Sub-bottom profiles and core sampling indicate that a trough-like depression below the bay near South Bellingham is a Pleistocene erosional paleotopographic surface sloping bayward from the uplandds to the east. A series of Late Pleistocene glacial till and glaciomarine deposits overlie the erosional surface and fill the depression. The glacial deposits are overlain by Recent sand and mud deposits which are rich in wood fragments and shell materials.

Bellingham Bay is basin-shaped with a deep narrow trough to the west. The Pleistocene basement is generally structureless and conforms to the bay bottom. Several trough shaped depressions which are overlain by Pleistocene and Recent sediments are located near the perimeter of the bay.

description: Among aquaglyceroporins that transport both water and glycerol across the cell membrane, Escherichia coli glycerol uptake facilitator (GlpF) is the most thoroughly studied. However, one question remains: Does glycerol modulate water permeation? This study answers this fundamental question by determining the chemical-potential profile of glycerol along the permeation path through GlpF's conducting pore. There is a deep well near the Asn-Pro-Ala (NPA) motifs (dissociation constant 14 microM) and a barrier near the selectivity filter (10.1 kcal/mol above the well bottom). This profile owes its existence to GlpF's perfect steric arrangement: The glycerol-protein van der Waals interactions are attractive near the NPA but repulsive elsewhere in the conducting pore. In light of the single-file nature of waters and glycerols lining up in GlpF's amphipathic pore, it leads to the following conclusion: Glycerol modulates water permeation in the microM range. At mM concentrations, GlpF is glycerol-saturated and a glycerol dwelling in the well occludes the conducting pore. Therefore, water permeation is fully correlated to glycerol dissociation that has an Arrhenius activation barrier of 6.5 kcal/mol. Validation of this theory is based on the existent in vitro data, some of which have not been given the proper attention they deserved: The Arrhenius activation barriers were found to be 7 kcal/mol for water permeation and 9.6 kcal/mol for glycerol permeation; The presence of up to 100 mM glycerol did not affect the kinetics of water transport with very low permeability, in apparent contradiction with the existent theories that predicted high permeability (0 M glycerol).

description: We present the accretion of a phantom scalar field into a black hole for various scalar field potentials in the full non-linear regime. Our results are based on the use of numerical methods and show that for all the cases studied the black hole's apparent horizon mass decreases. We explore a particular subset of the parameter space and from our results we conclude that this is a very efficient black hole shrinking process because the time scales of the area reduction of the horizon are short. We show that the radial equation of state of the scalar field depends strongly on the space and time, with the condition $ω= p/ρ>-1$, as opposed to a phantom fluid at cosmic scales that allows $ω< -1$.

description: The information theoretic observables entropy (a measure of disorder), excess entropy (a measure of complexity) and multi information are used to analyze ground-state spin configurations for disordered and frustrated model systems in 2D and 3D. For both model systems, ground-state spin configurations can be obtained in polynomial time via exact combinatorial optimization algorithms, which allowed us to study large systems with high numerical accuracy. Both model systems exhibit a continuous transition from an ordered to a disordered ground state as a model parameter is varied. By using the above information theoretic observables it is possible to detect changes in the spatial structure of the ground states as the critical point is approached. It is further possible to quantify the scaling behavior of the information theoretic observables in the vicinity of the critical point. For both model systems considered, the estimates of critical properties for the ground-state phase transitions are in good agreement with existing results reported in the literature.

description: 3D mapping of matter distribution in the universe through the 21 cm radio emission of atomic hydrogen HI is a complementary approach to optical surveys for the study of the Large Scale Structures, in particular for measuring the BAO (Baryon Acoustic Oscillation) scale up to redshifts z < 3, and therefore constraining dark energy parameters. We propose a novel method to map the HI mass distribution in three dimensions in radio, without detecting or identifying individual compact sources. This method would require an instrument with a large instantaneous bandwidth (> 100 MHz) and high sensitivity, while a rather modest angular resolution (~ 10 arcmin) should be sufficient. These requirements can be met by a dense interferometric array or a phased array (FPA) in the focal plane of a large primary reflector, representing a total collecting area of a few thousand square meters with few hundred simultaneous beams covering a 20 to 100 square degrees field of view. We describe the development and qualification of an electronic and data processing system for digital radio interferometry and beam forming suitable for such instruments with several hundred receiver elements.

title: Structural and Functional Characterization of the F-actin Binding Headpiece Domain of Plant Villin 4
Creators: name: Miears, Heather
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2017

description:
The villin family of proteins are filamentous actin (F-actin) regulators, which play key roles in cytoskeleton organization regulation in eukaryotes. Recently discovered villin 4, from A. thaliana has been shown to bundle F-actin in root hairs. However, previous work found that mutations to villin 4 result in shorter and sparser root hairs which lead to a weaker capacity for water absorption by A. thaliana. It is previously known that many members of the vertebrate villin protein family contain a highly conserved F-actin binding site within the C-terminal headpiece domain. In order to investigate the headpiece of villin 4, we predicted where the folded domain began based on sequence homology. Interestingly, in plant villins, a long linker (> 100 residues) region exists between the folded core domain and the C-terminal headpiece. While it is known that vertebrate villin contains a 40-residue linker, it shows no homology to that of the plant linkers and, therefore, the linker-headpiece boundary in villin 4 was unclear. To define this boundary, we designed two constructs: the first, atVHP76, we believed would contain some residues of the linker as well as the headpiece; the second construct, atVHP60, was predicted to contain just the folded headpiece domain. Furthermore, we proposed to investigate whether this portion of the linker alters the F-actin binding affinity of this domain. Presented here is the structural and functional study of the villin 4 headpiece domain (V4HP63). Our solution NMR analysis demonstrates that V4HP63 possesses a canonical villin headpiece fold, with the exception of a merged variable-loop (V-loop) and a newly discovered high-mobility loop (HM-loop). Through an actin pull-down assay, we showed that both atVHP76 and atVHP60 binds specifically and with high affinity to F-actin (Kd of 3.0 ± 0.7 µM and of 2.0 ± 1.0 µM, respectively), indicating the N-terminal portion of the linker does not alter the affinity. Comparison of the electrostatic surface potential maps of V4HP63 and high-affinity vertebrate F-actin binding headpiece domains, we propose a modification to the currently accepted rules for predicting high-affinity binding of villin headpieces. This includes a reduction of the previously described residues in the “charged crown” to K65, R37, and the C-terminal carboxylate. This work demonstrates that the plant villin 4 headpiece is evolutionarily related to the vertebrate homologs.

title: Diversity and Petrogenesis of Rhyolites from an Intra-oceanic Arc: Evidence from IODP Site U1437, Izu Bonin Rear-arc and Surrounding Area
Creators: name: Heywood, Luan J.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2018

description:
Magmas from the Izu Bonin rear-arc show a geochemical signature (medium- to high-K and light rare-earth element [LREE] enriched) that resembles the average composition of the continental crust. I investigate that continent-like signature by examining a suite of rear-arc-derived mafic to felsic tephras from International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1437, which was drilled as part of IODP Expedition 350. Volcaniclastic glasses from Site U1437 comprise a compositional series from basalt to rhyolite, aged 1.1-4.4 Ma.

Site U1437 tephras record the timespan when the Izu-Bonin arc began rifting and provide a well-dated record of changing magmatic compositions through the transition into arc rifting. Considered with context provided by a comprehensive recontextualization of published analyses ofrocks, magmatic compositions are shown to vary in coherent chronological and spatial trends and can be classified into three series: LREE-depleted volcanic front series; flat pattern REE rift-related series; and LREE-enriched rear-arc seamount chain-type (RASC-type) series which includes Site U1437 glasses. Each series has a distinctive characteristic basalt type whose trace element and radiogenic isotope chemistry matches rhyolite type from the same region.

Geochemical modeling shows that fractional crystallization is a viable mechanism to generate2and oxygen isotope systematics show that some degree of open-system processes are involved in rhyolite petrogenesis; however there is no evidence for large-scale melting of pre-existing crustal sources. The >12.9 Ma crustal sources inferred to exist within the rear-arc region cannot be the source for rear-arc rhyolites because of differing La/Yb and ɛHf signatures. Thus, I favor a model where fractional crystallization is the differentiation mechanism involved in the generation of intraoceanic arc rhyolites in this region.

description: The spatiotemporal response of crystals in x-ray Bragg diffraction resulting from excitation by an ultra-short, laterally confined x-ray pulse is studied theoretically. The theory presents an extension of the analysis in symmetric reflection geometry [1] to the generic case, which includes Bragg diffraction both in reflection (Bragg) and transmission (Laue) asymmetric scattering geometries. The spatiotemporal response is presented as a product of a crystal-intrinsic plane wave spatiotemporal response function and an envelope function defined by the crystal-independent transverse profile of the incident beam and the scattering geometry. The diffracted wavefields exhibit amplitude modulation perpendicular to the propagation direction due to both angular dispersion and the dispersion due to Bragg's law. The characteristic measure of the spatiotemporal response is expressed in terms of a few parameters: the extinction length, crystal thickness, Bragg angle, asymmetry angle, and the speed of light. Applications to self-seeding of hard x-ray free electron lasers are discussed, with particular emphasis on the relative advantages of using either the Bragg or Laue scattering geometries. Intensity front inclination in asymmetric diffraction can be used to make snapshots of ultra-fast processes with femtosecond resolution.

title: Caring For The Qualified Life: Mexicana Certified Nursing Assistants In Bellingham, Washington
Creators: name: Kniseley, Marinel
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2017

description:
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are the first line of care in eldercare institutions. They spend more time with residents than any other staff member, performing the most intimate tasks, and serving as a locus of support and information for both residents and their families. Belied by their low wages and low status within the industry, their work nonetheless entails considerable skill and interpretation of clients’ needs. In Washington State, positive ratings of eldercare facilities have been associated with the presence of immigrant caregivers, indicating this may come from the motivations and skills they bring to their work. This thesis examines such motivations and skills through an intensive case study with five Mexicana CNAs working in assisted living facilities in Bellingham, Washington.

Using grounded theory and Latinx Critical Theory, I examine how the cultural values and immigrant experiences of these CNAs affect the way they view and do their work. Commonalities found in their narratives and work routines reveal a shared notion of what can be regarded as a “qualified life.” For these Mexicanas, a qualified life centers around family and doing meaningful, recognized work. Their ability to find profound meaning in doing eldercare therefore serves to further their own qualified lives while bringing dignity and affection to people they see as discarded by American society. Beyond simply caring for the body, these CNAs create the conditions for dignity in eldercare facilities by preserving the memories and identities of the elders in their care, and extending kinship to residents and their families. In doing so they are enacting roles that have been altered or denied in their own lives due to being separated from their families by the U.S./Mexico border.

The empathy these Mexicanas are able to feel for a largely white (more privileged) aging population is generated in spite, and because, of the historical and continuing oppression they have experienced in the U.S., which has put them in a unique position to recognize vulnerability, marginalization, loneliness, and displacement. Finding meaning through work deemed undesirable by mainstream society and enacting their own values in the face of structural limitations makes them vibrant actors of third space ethics. In effect, by creating the conditions for others to live and die with dignity, they create a daily resistance against the standard profit model of institutional care, and in the process, further the pursuit of their own qualified lives.

description: The emergence of a polybasic cleavage motif for the protease furin in SARS-CoV-2 spike has been established as a major factor for human viral transmission. The region N-terminal to that motif is extensively mutated in variants of concern (VOCs). Besides furin, spikes from these variants appear to rely on other proteases for maturation, including TMPRSS2. Glycans near the cleavage site have raised questions about proteolytic processing and the consequences of variant-borne mutations. Here, we identify that sialic acid-containing O-linked glycans on Thr678 of SARS-CoV-2 spike influence furin and TMPRSS2 cleavage and posit O-linked glycosylation as a likely driving force for the emergence of VOC mutations. We provide direct evidence that the glycosyltransferase GalNAc-T1 primes glycosylation at Thr678 in the living cell, an event that is suppressed by mutations in the VOCs Alpha, Delta, and Omicron. We found that the sole incorporation of N-acetylgalactosamine did not impact furin activity in synthetic O-glycopeptides, but the presence of sialic acid reduced the furin rate by up to 65%. Similarly, O-glycosylation with a sialylated trisaccharide had a negative impact on TMPRSS2 cleavage. With a chemistry-centered approach, we substantiate O-glycosylation as a major determinant of spike maturation and propose disruption of O-glycosylation as a substantial driving force for VOC evolution.

description:
Involuntary thoughts of all kinds come to mind, including those about videogames. Amount of exposure and cognitive activity can affect involuntary thought frequency. I explored the effects of exposure time, task type, and cognitive load on involuntary videogame thought frequency experienced immediately after gameplay and 24-hours later. I found that the higher amount of exposure time to a videogame leads to an increase in involuntary thought frequency 24-hours later. I also found that involuntary thoughts are less likely to come to mind during a higher cognitive load activity, than a low cognitive load activity. Though there is a need for replication, videogames can be used to induce and investigate involuntary thoughts.

description: We demonstrate that it is possible to compensate for effects of strong linear loss when generating non-classical states by engineered nonlinear dissipation. We show that it is always possible to construct such a loss-resistant dissipative gadget in which, for a certain class of initial states, the desired non-classical pure state can be attained within a particular time interval with an arbitrary precision. Further we demonstrate that an arbitrarily large linear loss can still be compensated by a sufficiently strong coherent or even thermal driving, thus attaining a strongly non-classical (in particular, sub-Poissonian) stationary mixed states.

description:
In this thesis, we study bendotaxis – a novel, passive droplet transport mechanism driven by the coupling between capillary pressure within the droplet and bending deformations of the channel confining it. This mechanism is inspired by observations of the legs of Gerris Regimis, which are covered in setae rendering them superhydrophobic; the setae deform by bending in response to the capillary pressure of vapour droplets as they condense between setae, resulting in their dynamic expulsion, and thus helping to maintain a superhydrophobic leg.In the first half of this thesis, we focus on two dimensional scenarios to isolate the underlying competition between bending and capillarity. In this setup, the direction of droplet transport is, surprisingly, always the same, regardless of the wettability of the channel. We use a combination of experiments at a macroscopic scale and a simple mathematical model to study this motion, focusing in particular on the time scale associated with the motion. We make observations that may inform the design of superhydrophobic surfaces exploiting bendotaxis for anti-fogging and also investigate two physical effects – contact angle hysteresis and droplet self-trapping – which can impede droplet transport by bendotaxis.In the second half of this thesis, we focus on the influence of channel geometry on droplet transport by bendotaxis. Further motivation is provided by experiments in which a regular, periodic pattern emerges as liquid droplets are condensed into deformable microchannels and move in a manner similar to bendotaxis. We hypothesize that this wavelength selection is the result of a novel instability, reminiscent of the Rayleigh-Plateau instability but mediated by channel elasticity. By developing and analyzing a mathematical model of a system susceptible to this instability, we study its characteristic behaviour and the consider the effect of adding liquid to the channel as the instability develops.Finally, we consider how collaborative effects of droplet transport by bendotaxis in neighbouring channels may lead to clustering. We first develop a mathematical model for an array of droplet-channel systems, each of which would undergo bendotaxis in isolation, and, using this, identify two distinct regimes for the cluster sizes in the limits of weak and strong surface tension, which are then derived analytically using asymptotic methods.

description: Motivated by the AdS_6/CFT_5 correspondence, we study general supersymmetric solutions of massive type IIA supergravity, consisting of a warped product of six-dimensional anti-de Sitter space AdS_6 with a four-dimensional Riemannian manifold M_4, and fluxes compatible with the SO(5,2) symmetry. We find that the only local solution of this form is the warped AdS_6 x_w S^4 solution, originally discovered by Brandhuber and Oz. We discuss the supersymmetric properties of this solution.

description: Non-thermal motions in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) are believed to play a non-negligible role in the pressure support to the total gravitating mass of galaxy clusters. Future X-ray missions, such as ASTRO-H and ATHENA, will eventually allow us to directly detect the signature of these motions from high-resolution spectra of the ICM. In this paper, we present a study on a set of clusters extracted from a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation, devoted to explore the role of non-thermal velocity amplitude in characterising the cluster state and the relation between observed X-ray properties. In order to reach this goal, we apply the X-ray virtual telescope PHOX to generate synthetic observations of the simulated clusters with both Chandra and ATHENA, the latter used as an example for the performance of very high-resolution X-ray telescopes. From Chandra spectra we extract global properties, e.g. luminosity and temperature, and from ATHENA spectra we estimate the gas velocity dispersion along the line of sight from the broadening of heavy-ion emission lines (e.g. Fe). We further extend the analysis to the relation between non-thermal velocity dispersion of the gas and the L_X-T scaling law for the simulated clusters. Interestingly, we find a clear dependence of slope and scatter on the selection criterion for the clusters, based on the level of significance of non-thermal motions. Namely, the scatter in the relation is significantly reduced by the exclusion of the clusters, for which we estimate the highest turbulent velocities. Such velocity diagnostics appears therefore as a promising independent way to identify disturbed clusters, in addition to the commonly used morphological inspection.

description: We show how the demon of Frieden and Soffer, working in a non-extensive statistical scenario, is able to devise solutions to some of Einstein's field equations by recourse to nonlocal changes of variables between appropriate differential equations. It is seen that a variety of cosmological problems involving Einstein's field equations can be reinterpreted as situations in which the pertinent solution is obtained, with tools of Statistical Mechanics, {\it in a nonextensive Tsallis scenario}.

description: Operating a modified version of the seemingly pervasive Google maps interface, Poirier-Simon invites the reader to examine a series of potential narrative routes that stories can take, literally grounding these in tourist landscape. What emerges is a myriad of narrative pathways that Poirier-Simon curiously explores. Instead of offering a closed conclusion, Poirier-Simon prompts the reader to further reflection in asking how we can “think of the purpose of stories and the place they take in our lives?”

description: We report on the investigation on harmonic-seeded remote laser emissions at 391 nm wavelength from strong-field ionized nitrogen molecules in three different gas mixtures, i.e., N2-Ar, N2-Xe and N2-Ne. We observed a decrease in the remote laser intensity in the N2-Xe mixture because of the decreased clamped intensity in the filament; whereas in the N2-Ne mixture, the remote laser intensity slightly increases because of the increased clamped intensity within the filament. Remarkably, although the clamped intensity in the filament remains nearly unchanged in the N2-Ar mixture because of the similar ionization potentials of N2 and Ar, a significant enhancement of the lasing emission is realized in the N2-Ar mixture. The enhancement is attributed to the stronger third harmonic seed, and longer gain medium due to the extended filament.

description: Supermassive black holes (SMBH) are typically surrounded by a dense stellar population in galactic nuclei. Stars crossing the line of site in active galactic nuclei (AGN) produce a characteristic transit lightcurve, just like extrasolar planets do when they transit their host star. We examine the possibility of finding such AGN transits in deep optical, UV, and X-ray surveys. We calculate transit lightcurves using the Novikov--Thorne thin accretion disk model, including general relatistic effects. Based on the expected properties of stellar cusps, we find that around 10^6 solar mass SMBHs, transits of red giants are most common for stars on close orbits with transit durations of a few weeks and orbital periods of a few years. We find that detecting AGN transits requires repeated observations of thousands of low mass AGNs to 1% photometric accuracy in optical, or ~ 10% in UV bands or soft X-ray. It may be possible to identify stellar transits in the Pan-STARRS and LSST optical and the eROSITA X-ray surveys. Such observations could be used to constrain black hole mass, spin, inclination and accretion rate. Transit rates and durations could give valuable information on the circumnuclear stellar clusters as well. Transit lightcurves could be used to image accretion disks with unprecedented resolution, allowing to resolve the SMBH silhouette in distant AGNs.

title: An Exploration of Digital Sketch Mapping, Interview and Qualitative Analysis to Document a Therapeutic Landscape in Whatcom County
Creators: name: Juszynski, George Edward
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2017

description:
Recent literature cites interest toward utilizing new technologies to unify methods within geography. One area showing promise towards fulfilling this goal is qualitative GIS (QGIS), which combines the methods of social/cultural and spatial/analytical geographers. QGIS research combines sketch maps with GIS and qualitative research methods to uncover “hidden geographies” found within the individual geo-narratives of individuals and within groups of individuals. This thesis explores the merits of using newly developed technology for digital sketch maps acquisition, computer assisted qualitative data analysis (CAQDAS) and qualitative geographic information system (QGIS) analysis for the discovery of “hidden geographies”. The case study demonstrates the utility of touchscreen technology to collect sketch maps and the complementary effect of combining social/cultural and spatial/analytical methods to visualize the hidden geography within the therapeutic landscape of student veterans in Whatcom County, Washington. This exploration also suggests direction for further research using digital sketch map acquisition for gaining insights into other socio-spatial processes that are not captured by traditional geographical analysis methods.
Stabilizing single- and two-color vortex beams in quadratic media by a trapping potential

description: We consider two-dimensional (2D) localized modes in the second-harmonic-generating χ^{(2)} system with the harmonic-oscillator (HO) trapping potential. In addition to its realization in optics, the system describes the mean-field dynamics of mixed atomic-molecular Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). The existence and stability of various modes is determined by their total power, N, topological charge, m/2 [m is the intrinsic vorticity of the second-harmonic (SH) field], and χ^{(2)} mismatch, q. The analysis is carried out in a numerical form and, in parallel, by means of the variational approximation (VA), which produces results that agree well with numerical findings. Below a certain power threshold, N\leq N_{c}^{(m)}(q), all trapped modes are of the single-color type, represented by the SH component only, while the fundamental-frequency (FF) one is absent. In contrast with the usual situation, where such modes are always unstable, we demonstrate\ that they are stable, for m=0,1,2 (the mode with m=1 may be formally considered as a semi-vortex with topological charge m/2=1/2), at N\leq N_{c}^{(m)}(q), and unstable above this threshold. On the other hand, N_{c}^{(m)}(q)\equiv 0 at q\geq q_{\max} (in our notation, q_{\max}=1$), hence the single-color modes are unstable in the latter case. At N=N_{c}^{(m)}, the modes with m=0 and m=2 undergo a pitchfork bifurcation, which gives rise to two-color states, which remain completely stable for m=0. The two-color vortices with m=2 (topological charge 1) have an upper stability border, N=N_{c2}(q). Above the border, they exhibit periodic splittings and recombinations, while keeping their vorticity. The semi-vortex does not bifurcate; at N=N_{c}^{(m=1)}, it exhibits quasi-chaotic oscillations and a rotating "groove" resembling a screw-edge dislocation induced by the semi-integer vorticity.

description: We present results from a deep Suzaku observation of the black hole in LMC X-1, supplemented by coincident monitoring with RXTE. We identify broad relativistic reflection features in a soft disc-dominated spectrum. A strong and variable power-law component of emission is present which we use to demonstrate that enhanced Comptonisation strengthens disc reflection. We constrain the spin parameter of the black hole by modelling LMC X-1's broad reflection features. For our primary and most comprehensive spectral model, we obtain a high value for the spin: a* = 0.97(+0.01,-0.13) (68 per cent confidence). However, by additionally considering two alternate models as a measure of our systematic uncertainty, we obtain a broader constraint: a* = 0.97(+0.02,-0.25). Both of these spin values are entirely consistent with a previous estimate of spin obtained using the continuum-fitting method. At 99 per cent confidence, the reflection features require a* > 0.2. In addition to modelling the relativistically broadened reflection, we also model a sharp and prominent reflection component that provides strong evidence for substantial reprocessing in the wind of the massive companion. We infer that this wind sustains the ionisation cone surrounding the binary system; this hypothesis naturally produces appropriate and consistent mass, time, and length scales for the cone structure.
