description: Metallic uranium-zirconium (U-Zr) nuclear fuel is a primary candidate for future fast reactors. The U-Zr system has been studied for decades with thousands of fuel pins being irradiated, yet the phase boundaries and lattice evolution with respect to temperature and composition remain poorly quantified. Historic engineering scale testing has resulted in empirical models for fuel evolution and subsequent fuel performance. However, these historic tests are on a convoluted system, consisting of dynamic temperatures, evolving thermal gradients, varying irradiation damage and damage rates, evolving compositions via fission and redistribution of primary constituents, and morphological evolution. This system proves exceedingly difficult to describe mechanistically due to the coexistence of various intertwined thermodynamic driving forces (e.g., temperature, composition, fluence, and fission rate which all vary concurrently). The driving forces influence the manifestation of the primary life-limiting phenomena present within the U-Zr system, specifically fuel-cladding mechanical interaction, fuel-cladding chemical interaction, fuel swelling, and fuel constituent redistribution. Although the phenomena present in the U-Zr system are known and qualitatively described, they are lacking in fundamental descriptions due to the historic inability to deconvolve the effects of temperature, composition, and fission rate. This study evaluates the current understanding of U-Zr fuel swelling and constituent redistribution in a uniquely quantified manner using Phenomena Identification and Ranking Tables.
 In response to these findings, a novel separate effects irradiation test vehicle, housing uniquely fabricated U-Zr alloys, was proposed, developed, and successfully fabricated to provide the community with a means to decouple temperature, composition, initial microstructure, and fission rate from one-another. Initial out-of-pile characterization was conducted with scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and neutron diffraction with in-situ heating on various U-Zr alloys (U- 6, 10, 20, and 30 wt.% Zr). This work quantifies the initial microstructure throughout the fabrication process and the thermal response of the material. Results include the phase morphology, phase boundaries, absolute lattice parameters, and lattice specific coefficients of thermal expansion. The phase boundaries identified in this study were then used to develop a new U-Zr phase diagram. The isolation of thermal and compositional dependencies furthers the understanding of the fuel system and can be used to increase fuel longevity.

description: For a single particle, relaxation into different ground states is governed by fixed branching ratios determined by the transition matrix element and the environment. Here, we show that in many-body open quantum systems the occupation probability of one ground state can be boosted well beyond what is dictated by single-particle branching ratios. Despite the competition, interactions suppress all but the dominant decay transition, leading to a 'winner takes all' dynamic where the system primarily settles into the dominant ground state. We prove that, in the presence of permutation symmetry, this problem is exactly solvable for any number of competing channels. Additionally, we develop an approximate model for the dynamics by mapping the evolution onto a fluid continuity equation, and analytically demonstrate that the dominant transition ratio converges to unity as a power law with increasing system size, for any branching ratios. This near-deterministic preparation of the dominant ground state has broad applicability. As an example, we discuss a protocol for molecular photoassociation where collective dynamics effectively acts as a catalyst, amplifying the yield in a specific final state. Our results open new avenues for many-body strategies in the preparation and control of quantum systems.

HYBRID RANS-LES MODELLING OF TURBULENT FLOWS WITH ADAPTIVE DOWNSTREAM ANISOTROPIC EDDY VISCOSITY
Creators: name: Zhang, Wanjia
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Aerodynamics (excl. hypersonic aerodynamics)

description: Turbulent flow pervades many engineering applications, and its prediction remains a challenge. One promising predictive method combines large-eddy simulation (LES) with simulation based on Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS). This study presents two methods to overcome stability and accuracy issues associated with LES-RANS simulations. One method developed first extracts the anisotropic eddy viscosity from the upstream LES solution at the RANS-LES interface and then uses that information to improve the downstream RANS model by invoking the weak-equilibrium assumption. That method was evaluated via two test problems – flow in a channel and over a periodic hill. Since that method depends on the choice of the coordinate system, a second method was developed that involve extracting Reynolds stresses from the upstream LES solution and then using that information to reconstruct and convert the downstream linear RANS model with a scalar eddy viscosity to a nonlinear RANS model with an effective anisotropic eddy viscosity. The second method developed was evaluated by computing film cooling of a flat plate with the coolant injected through a row of circular holes. Results obtained by both methods show instabilities at the LES-to-RANS interface to be eliminated. Results obtained also show the LES-RANS method developed can yield solutions almost as accurate as those from LES, even though a significant portion of the flow is computed by the adapted anisotropic RANS model instead of LES, which greatly increases computational efficiency. Since the modification of the downstream RANS model is based on information extracted from the upstream LES solution, the method developed is adaptive to the problem being studied.

description: Accurate prediction of electricity demand is a critical step in balancing the grid. Many factors influence electricity demand. Among these factors, climate variability has been the most pressing one in recent times, challenging the resilient operation of the grid, especially during climatic extremes. In this dissertation, fundamental challenges related to accurate characterization of the climate-energy nexus are presented in Chapters 2--4, as described below.
Chapter 2 explores the cost of neglecting the role of humidity in predicting summer-time residential electricity consumption. Analysis of electricity demand in the CONUS region demonstrates that even though surface temperature---the most widely used metric for characterising heat stress---is an important factor, it is not sufficient for accurately characterizing cooling demand. The chapter proceeds to show significant underestimations of the climate sensitivity of demand, both in the observational space as well as under climate change. Specifically, the analysis reveals underestimations as high as 10-15% across CONUS, especially in high energy consuming states such as California and Texas.
Chapter 3 takes a critical look at one of the most widely used metrics, namely, the Cooling Degree Days (CDD), often calculated with an arbitrary set point temperature of 65F or 18.3C, ignoring possible variations due to different patterns of electricity consumption across different regions and climate zones. In this chapter, updated values are derived based on historical electricity consumption data across the country at the state level. Chapter 3 analysis demonstrates significant variation, as high as +-25%, between derived set point variables and the conventional value of 65F. Moreover, the CDD calculation is extended to account for the role of humidity, in the light of lessons learnt in the previous chapter. Our results reveal that under climate change scenarios, the air-temperature based CDD underestimates thermal comfort by as much as ~22%.
The predictive analytics conducted in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 revealed a significant challenge in characterizing the climate-demand nexuses: the ability to capture the variability at the upper tails. Chapter 4 explores this specific challenge, with the specific goal of developing an algorithm to increase prediction accuracy at the higher quantiles of the demand distributions. Specifically, Chapter 4 presents a data-centric approach at the utility level (as opposed to the state-level analyses in the previous chapters), focusing on high-energy consuming states of California and Texas. The developed algorithm shows a general improvement of 7% in the mean prediction accuracy and an improvement of 15% for the 90th quantile predictions.

description: Accessing and utilizing mental health services is often a significant challenge for Black/African American (AA) youth. Research has shown that factors at various socio-ecological levels contribute to the challenges that limit access and utilization of mental health services for Black/AA youth. This study aims to identify and examine individual and community factors contributing to limited access and the underutilization of mental health services among Black/AA youth.
description: The current study analyzed secondary data from the United States 2020-2021 National Survey on Children’s Health (NSCH) to investigate barriers to accessing mental health services among Black/AA youth aged 12-17 years with reported anxiety, depression, or behavioral/conduct problems as mental health concerns using Chi-square tests of association and binary logistic regressions. The findings indicated that a large proportion (χ2[18] = 348.373, p = <0.001) of respondents needing mental health services received care, and a large proportion (χ2[24] = 79.422, p = <0.001) of those who received mental health services reported not having difficulty obtaining care. While most variables examined in the current study were not associated with receipt of mental health services (sex, health insurance status, language spoken in the home, SES/FPL), some were found to be associated with receipt of mental health services (parent educational attainment, supportive neighborhood, safe neighborhood). The current study recommends further research on mental health care access and utilization among Black/AA youth to establish more robust inferences that can guide the development of effective interventions to promote equitable access to mental health services for children.

description: Due to the huge development of technologies in past 20 years, smartphone has been through a huge evolution to be a powerful device with multi-advanced functionality. In this study, we proposed to, by utilizing the ability of CMOS camera on smartphone to capture high-quality pictures with low-light environment as the detector of fluorescence signals, to design and test a smartphone-based fluorescence detection system. Unlike the traditional fluorescence detection methods, a smartphone-based system can provide convenient, low cost and portable detection of fluorescent samples. To assist smartphone to capture clear pictures of fluorescence signal with low background noise, a portable reader that attached on the back of smartphone was designed in this study, which is a cuboid device that provides illuminance signal by using LED for exciting fluorescent samples. It also includes a plano-convex lens and a low-pass filter for the image magnification and reduce noise from surrounding light sources and light source from LED. To further improve the detection results, Noise Reduction Ensemble Averaging (NREA) algorithm was coded in Matlab to significantly enhance the fluorescence signal and reduce noise on the image results. In this study, to verify the proposed functionality of the smartphone detection system, the first experiment was conducted by using 3 different smartphone models (Galaxy S9, Pixel 3 and Oneplus One) to measure the fluorescent signal of a Nanoparticle FITC calibration slide and compare the results with the official referential results. The results from 3 smartphone models showed clear linearity that matches the referential result. To further explore the performance and detection limit of the system on fluorescent samples with lower concentrations, another 2 experiments were conducted by using FITC and Atto-550 samples as the testing objects. For FITC experiment, a 3 steps interrogation method that lowers the range of concentrations of FITC samples for 3 iterations to discover the detection limit of the system on FITC samples by using 3 different phones with different shutter times, and the detection limit is found to be 60 ppb by using Galaxy S9. For the experiment with Atto-550, hydrated and dehydrated Atto-550 samples were measured by using Galaxy S9. The results show the fluorescence signal of hydrated sample is almost unnoticeable even the concentration is 5000ppb. For the dehydrated Atto-550 samples, after 2 steps interrogation, it shows the detection limit is 7 ppb.

description: This dissertation argues that the unstable category of the parasite was used to debate the limits of humanism during the modernist period (approximately 1890 to 1945). I show how the most marginalized individuals and organisms are deemed “parasitic” and positioned at the core of social issues, such as tropical disease, poverty, and racism. Authors from Virginia Woolf and Nella Larsen to John Steinbeck and George Orwell reveal how parasitism occupies a liminal space between categories of sickness/health, human/animal, and production/exploitation. This project contributes to developing debates in modernist studies about the relationship between nature and culture, and it builds on animal studies, disability studies, and the history of medicine to demonstrate that aesthetics shapes our evaluation of various forms of life.

description:     Mediation stands as a pivotal alternative to litigation, one that hinges on the artful deployment of language to facilitate understanding and contribute to the resolution of conflicts. At its core, mediation is not merely a transactional process but a dynamic interplay of communication strategies, where the mediator's ability to navigate complex emotional and cognitive landscapes is crucial. The impact of rhetorical techniques in mediation extends beyond the immediate task of resolving disputes; they are integral to enhancing the efficacy of peacebuilding efforts and community engagement in conflict resolution. By systematically analyzing the rhetorical devices employed by successful mediators, we can develop training programs that cultivate these skills, ultimately improving outcomes in various contexts of conflict resolution.

Compact Dispersive Near-Infrared Sensors for Jet Fuel Property Prediction
Creators: name: Patel, Dev B.
Publisher: name: University of Illinois Chicago

description: Fuels, specifically conventional and sustainable aviation fuels, exhibit significant variations in their properties. As blends of these fuels are increasingly integrated into industry applications, the demand for engines capable of operating on a wider range of fuels has grown. Incorporating an adaptive combustion control system with on-board fuel property detection can enable multi-fuel capable compression ignition engines. These engines can adjust and compensate for fuel property variations identified by an on-board fuel property sensor. One key fuel property for compression ignition engines is the derived cetane number (DCN), which indicates a fuel’s ignition propensity. However, conventional DCN measurement techniques, such as Ignition Quality Testers, are not suitable for on-board applications as they are intrusive, time-consuming, and quite large. Dispersive near-infrared (NIR) absorption spectroscopy offers a low-cost, robust alternative for fuel property sensing, meeting the size, weight, and power requirements necessary for on-board applications. This approach enables real-time fuel characterization, which is crucial for adaptive engine combustion control. To enable multi-fuel capable engines through fuel sensing and combustion control, three prototype dispersive NIR sensors are developed and tested. The sensors are designed to perform intensity reference calibrations through two distinct methods. One approach employs fluidic components, while the other utilizes multiple optical paths to facilitate reference calibrations. Additionally, each sensor is equipped with an inline wavelength calibration filter and a custom algorithm that provides real-time pixel-to-wavelength calibrations. This custom algorithm autonomously performs polynomial curve fits. The use of a non-Euclidean distance metric-Wasserstein distance-is investigated to further enhance the accuracy of wavelength calibrations. Results indicate the effectiveness of the polynomial curve fitting method in establishing precise pixel-to-wavelength relationships. Further, custom machine learning models are developed and deployed on the sensors to enable the prediction of DCN from NIR spectral data. These models are designed to address common challenges associated with on-board applications, such as variations in spectral range, resolution
shifts, and baseline drifts. Two modeling approaches—imputation-based and ensemble machine learning—are formulated and evaluated, with the ensemble model showing strong performance. It achieved a coefficient of determination (R² score) above 0.86 across varying resolutions (12 nm, 10 nm, and 2 cm-1), and an average R² score of 0.857 when tested across different spectral ranges. Ultimately, the combination of reference calibrations, pixel-to-wavelength assignments, and the deployment of flexible machine learning models contribute to the development of a robust dispersive NIR sensor, suitable for accurate on-board fuel property determination.

description: In this paper we use the Diebold Yilmaz (2009 and 2012) methodology to construct an index of
connectedness among five European stock markets: France, Germany, UK, Switzerland and the
Netherlands, by using volatility risk premia. The volatility risk premium, which is a proxy of risk
aversion, is measured by the difference between the implied volatility and expected realized
volatility of the stock market for next month. While Diebold and Yilmaz focus is on the forecast
error variance decomposition of stock returns or range based volatilities employing a stationary
VAR in levels, we account for the (locally) long memory stationary properties of the levels of
volatility risk premia series. Therefore, we estimate and invert a Fractionally Integrated VAR
model to compute the cross forecast error variance shares necessary to obtain the index of total
connectedness and the net contribution of each series to total connectedness.
The results show that, over January 2000-August 2013, the index of total connectedness among
volatility risk premia has been relatively stable with an increasing role played by France and with a
positive (but decreasing) role played by Germany and the Netherlands. Non EMU countries such as
the UK and Switzerland are negative net contributors to the index.

description: In contrast to equilibrium systems, inertia can profoundly impact the phase behavior of active systems. This has been made particularly evident in recent years, with motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) exhibiting several intriguing dependencies on translational inertia. Here we report extensive simulations characterizing the phase behavior of inertial active matter and develop a mechanical theory for the complete phase diagram without appealing to equilibrium notions. Our theory qualitatively captures all aspects of liquid-gas coexistence, including the critical value of inertia above which MIPS ceases. Notably, our findings highlight that particle softness, and not inertia, is responsible for the MIPS reentrance effect at the center of a proposed active refrigeration cycle.

Non-Newtonian fluid flows (incl. rheology)

description: Second-generation biofuels are being developed from non-food plant resources to address the socio-economic concerns derived from first-generation biofuels of food and land competition. However, second-generation biofuel processing confronts many processing challenges with high yield stresses at economically necessary solids loadings (>20wt.%). Various liquefaction techniques are employed to convert sugars from corn stover biomass slurries, which directly impact the rheological response through lowering solids concentrations and altering particle properties. In this study, the flow response of corn stover biomass slurries processed by enzyme liquefaction and dilute acid pretreatment are explored using a wide-gap geometry rheometer. Flow curve experiments reveal that yield stress is a function of solids loading and enzyme liquefaction further reduces the yield stress by reducing the total insoluble solids within the slurry. Combined dilute acid pretreatment and enzyme liquefaction reduce static yield stress and particle size. Drying and fractionating of particles from slurries reveal that larger particles produce a larger shear stress response than smaller particles. For successful processing on a large scale, maximizing the initial solids loading and minimizing the yield stress and viscosity of corn stover biomass slurries are essential.

Introducing Aggregate Return on Investment as a Solution to the Contradiction Between Some PME Metrics and IRR

description: The Index Comparison Method (ICM) is a well-known approach for measuring a Private Equity Investment?s (PEI) performance. It is based on the construction of a benchmark portfolio that, each period, earns the index return. This generates a time series of interim net asset values that leads to a terminal NAV, from which an Internal Rate of Return is computed. However, the IRR is itself necessarily associated with its own time series of built-in NAVs, to which the IRR is applied. And, unfortunately, this series of values will be different from the aforementioned benchmark portfolio?s NAVs. As a result, the ICM approach rests on two contradictory sets of values, thereby rendering it illegitimate. Furthermore, the ICM approach does not preserve additivity of the rates of return, and, in principle, might even generate multiple IRRs. This paper presents the Aggregate Return on Investment (AROI), a metric which (i) uses one consistent time series of NAVs (the benchmark portfolio?s true values) (ii) preserves additivity, and (iii) does not incur the problem of multiple solutions.
LINKING COMPETITION AND NONSTRUCTURAL CARBON DYNAMICS IN AMERICAN CHESTNUT (CASTANEA DENTATA)

description: Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) are involved in essential plant functions and are closely associated with growth and mortality mechanisms. Quantifying NSC reserves can indicate a plant’s resistance and resilience to stress or injury through damaging agents and environmental change. In this work, we studied seasonal NSC dynamics and responses to inter- and intra-specific competition in American chestnut (Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh.), a species of high restoration interest. This research project is comprised of two experiments; first, we delineate seasonal NSC dynamics in mature chestnut to identify critical periods in NSC reserve dynamics that could help evaluate the condition of trees (Chapter 2). We used a custom-built allometric model to scale NSC concentration measurements into pool sizes. By assessing the magnitude and location of NSC pools, we found that chestnut stores most of its NSCs belowground and demonstrated an ability to mobilize root NSCs to fuel growth and metabolism. These results support the idea that chestnut could thrive under disturbance-based management. In the second experiment, we use the knowledge of chestnut biology gained in Ch. 2 to examine a fundamental question in the NSC literature: How does competition affect the internal balance of carbohydrate allocation to growth vs. storage? We studied the effect of intra- and inter-specific competition on American chestnut biomass accumulation and NSC reserves using mixtures of species with strong functional differences in a mature plantation experiment. Coarse root total NSC pools responded to density and species composition through their combined effects on NSC concentrations and tree biomass. There was a strong density × composition interaction: while NSC pools were largest in plots with the lowest planting density where chestnut was planted with black cherry or in a three-species mixture with black cherry and northern red oak, chestnut NSC pools were reduced when planted in monoculture or in a two-species mixture with northern red oak. Therefore, neighbor identity was more important than species richness for NSC pools in our system. Taken together, this body of work contributes to our understanding of the regulation of NSCs in temperate deciduous trees, and to our understanding of chestnut’s unique biology in particular.

description: We bring the Kerr--Newman spacetime into the Bondi--Sachs gauge by means of zero angular momentum, null geodesics. We compute the memory effect produced at the black hole horizon by a transient gravitational shock wave, which from future null infinity is seen as a Bondi-Metzner-Sachs supertranslation. This results in a change of the supertransformation charges at infinity between the spacetime geometries defined by the black hole before, and after, the shockwave scattering. For an extremal Kerr--Newman black hole, we give the complementary description of this process in the near-horizon limit, as seen by an observer hovering over the horizon. In this limit, we compute the supertranformation charges and compare them to those calculated at null infinity. We analyze the effect of these transformations on the electromagnetic gauge field and explore the self-interaction between this and the angular momentum of the black hole.

description: Bullying in schools has been an issue that has affected students since the 1970’s (Tsiantis et al., 2013). There are interventions that can help prevent bullying within the classroom such as the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, and the KiVa Bullying Prevention Program. The purpose of this study is to survey teachers about their knowledge of bullying and how to prevent it as well as how they feel bullying affects the students they work with and what interventions they have tried to help prevent bullying. Survey research was used to conduct this study. Surveys were sent to 25 teachers at an elementary school. 9 teachers responded to the survey. The teachers included both general education and special education who teach grades K-6. Teachers who were familiar with intervention strategies were asked to explain what interventions they have tried. A feelings dry erase board where a student could rate the intensity of their feelings and also explain on the board was one strategy used. Cool down pass and sand timers to complete task given, visual checklist on desk for procedures, and preferential seating were among other strategies used in the classroom. This study emphasizes the need for teacher resources to help them prevent bullying in their classroom. Bullying affects student development in all areas, which is why it was important to the researcher to investigate this topic and provide a teacher handbook that includes lots of resources for teachers to utilize.
