title: Upgrading a Rb-85 Atom Interferometer
Creators: name: Elertas, Gedminas
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2024

description: Atom interferometry is proving to be one of the most precise technique in gravimetry and gravity gradiometry, measurements of gravitational acceleration and gravitation gradient, respectively, in addition to magnetometry, inertial sensing and many other fields. The high precision of these instruments has attracted applications in fundamental physics research. The potential of employing this technique for the searches in dark-sector physics initiated the building of an atom interferometer at the University of Liverpool. The interferometer is in an atomic drop configuration. It employs ultra-cold Rb-85 as the atomic medium and a two-laser optical system. The atom source loads about a hundred million Rb-85 atoms and cools them down to 15 μK. The interferometric beams are generated with a high-frequency acoustic-optical modulator. The coherent control of atomic states was achieved via Raby oscillations, and atom interferometry has been demonstrated via Ramsey fringes with velocity-insensitive interferometric beams. This success provided an opportunity for building a new atom interferometer capable of velocity-sensitive measurements. The new interferometer will be able to operate in both atom launch and drop configurations and has the main vacuum chamber with 23 viewports, compared to 10 previously. This allowed for the incorporation of a low-velocity atom source. Two prototypes, 2D MOT and Axicon MOT, are being developed. A high power laser generating 8 W of 780 nm light via frequency doubling was built to increase the number of atoms. Such high powers necessitated a reconstruction of the optical control circuit, also allowing for atomic launch, improved state selection, and spurious light reduction. An effective vibration isolation system was constructed. Combining passive isolation and active cancellation technology in a working device was a significant step towards high sensitivity measurements. A new interferometry beam system was prospected, employing an injection-locked modulated laser diode. The prototype of such a system was built. The system proved to be capable of generating phase-locked light separated by 3 GHz. Later, due to concerns of stability and power limitations, a previous interferometry beam system was redesigned and improved instead. It employs additional tampered amplifiers to increase the power and a separate laser with an electro-optical modulator for the higher single-photon detuning, both required for velocity-sensitive measurements.

description: We employ a time-dependent synchrotron-self-Compton code for modeling contemporaneous multiwavelength data of the blazar 1 ES 1218+30.4 The input parameters of the model are used to infer physical parameters of the emitting region. An acceptable fit to the data is obtained by taking into account a stellar emission component in the optical regime due to the host galaxy. The physical parameters inferred from the fit are in line with particle acceleration due to the Fermi mechanism providing s = 2.1 spectra. From the properties of the host galaxy in the optical, we estimate the central black hole mass and thus confirm that the jet power injected into the emission region is in the sub-Eddington regime, as expected for BL Lacertae objects.
title: The Economic Effects of Infrastructure on the Prefecture Level in China, Evidence from Historic and Modern Data
Creators: name: Yuan, Zhe
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: This dissertation comprises three essays that examine the economic effects of three different infrastructure types. In this dissertation, the author aims to find the initial incentive for the decision makers to build an infrastructure. The first essay uses the fixed effects model to examine the effects of the Grand Canal and major waterways on the wheat market integration in the mid-Qing period. Applying the methodology of Donaldson (2018), it demonstrates that the wheat price in cities along all waterways, including the Grand Canal, weakly responded to local weather conditions and strongly to price fluctuations in neighbouring cities. The second essay implements a quantitative method to investigate the transport efficiency and economic efficiency of urban rail transportation (URT) systems across Chinese cities. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is employed to generate production frontiers for economic and transport outcomes, one producing transportation turnover and the other serving economic objectives. After deriving the economic and transport efficiency, the essay uses the Tobit regression to estimate the factors affecting efficiency. The analysis clearly demonstrates that the URT infrastructure is more efficient at transporting passengers in the first-tier cities in China, but does a better job at improving GDP and economic attractiveness in other cities. The evidence thus, ex-post, suggests that the primary goal of building a URT might not be same for the policy makers in different sized cities. The third chapter estimates the effects of opening new airports on employment in 19 different sectors using prefecture level data from 2003 to 2018. By using difference in difference (DID) specification, it is found that the airport openings mainly brought significant growth in two sectors, wholesale & retail and transport & warehousing in the whole prefecture region. No significant signs were found in other sectors and the total employment. These findings could be attributed to the heterogeneous dependences of each sector on air traffic. To deal with endogeneity, an instrument variable estimated by distances to the nearest hub airport and the location of military airport is generated. The two- stage-least-square (2SLS) regression with instrument Variable (IV) suggests that the baseline model underestimate the significant effects on the wholesale & retail and transport & warehousing sectors.

title: Increased Functionality of Floodplain Mapping Automation: Utah Inundation Mapping System (UTIMS)
Creators: name: Stevens, Brian K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: Flood plain mapping has become an increasingly important part of flood plain management. Flood plain mapping employs mapping software and hydraulic calculation packages to efficiently map flood plains. Modelers often utilize automation software to develop the complex geometries required to reduce the time to develop hydraulic models. The Utah Inundation Mapping System (UTIMS) is designed to reduce the time required to develop complex geometries for use in flood plain mapping studies. The automated geometries developed by UTIMS include: flood specific river centerlines, bank lines, flow path lines, cross sections and areal averaged n-value polygons. UTIMS thus facilitates developing automated input to US Army Corps of Engineer's HEC-RAS software. Results from HEC-RAS can be imported back to UTIMS for display and mapping. The user can also specify convergence criteria for water surface profile at selected locations along the river and thus run UTIMS and HEC-RAS iteratively till the convergence criterion is met. UTIMS develops a new flood specific geometry file for each iteration, enabling an accurate modeling of flood-plain. Utilizing this robust and easy to operate software within the GIS environment modelers can significantly reduce the time required to develop accurate flood plain maps. The time thus saved in developing the geometries allows modelers to spend more time doing the actual modeling and analyzing results. The time thus saved can also result in faster turn around and potential cost cutting in flood-plain modeling work. In this paper the authors describe UTIMS capabilities, compare them with other available software, and demonstrate the UTIMS flood plain automation process using a case study.

description: We extend both the Hawking-Penrose Theorem and its generalisation due to Galloway and Senovilla to Lorentzian metrics of regularity $C^1$. For metrics of such low regularity, two main obstacles have to be addressed. On the one hand, the Ricci tensor now is distributional, and on the other hand, unique solvability of the geodesic equation is lost. To deal with the first issue in a consistent way, we develop a theory of tensor distributions of finite order, which also provides a framework for the recent proofs of the theorems of Hawking and of Penrose for $C^1$-metrics [7]. For the second issue, we study geodesic branching and add a further alternative to causal geodesic incompleteness to the theorem, namely a condition of maximal causal non-branching. The genericity condition is re-cast in a distributional form that applies to the current reduced regularity while still being fully compatible with the smooth and $C^{1,1}$-settings. In addition, we develop refinements of the comparison techniques used in the proof of the $C^{1,1}$-version of the theorem [8]. The necessary results from low regularity causality theory are collected in an appendix.

Overcoming catastrophic forgetting in heterogeneous federated learning
Creators: name: Arya, Atrin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Federated learning (FL) has gained prominence in the medical domain for enabling collaborative machine learning across decentralized datasets while preserving patient privacy. However, key challenges such as catastrophic forgetting and local overfitting hinder the effectiveness of FL models in heterogeneous healthcare environments. This thesis addresses these challenges through two complementary studies. The first study introduces Federated Impressions, a synthetic data generation method that extracts the knowledge of the global model without compromising privacy. By training the local model on these impressions, the method mitigates catastrophic forgetting, allowing the model to retain critical knowledge while generalizing effectively across diverse datasets. This approach ensures robustness and adaptability to evolving medical data distributions. The second study enhances FL for medical imaging by leveraging Vision Transformers (ViTs) in a DualPrompt architecture. Prompts are divided into shared and group prompts: shared prompts capture generalized medical features and are trained exclusively on Federated Impressions alongside local data to prevent overfitting, while group prompts adapt to specific client tasks using local data. This method effectively mitigates catastrophic forgetting, preserving personalization through group prompts while maintaining global generalization via shared prompts. It strikes a balance between retaining global medical knowledge and adapting to localized data distributions. Experimental evaluations on benchmark medical datasets demonstrate that the proposed approaches improve global generalization by avoiding local overfitting. These advancements make FL more robust and effective in heterogeneous medical environments, addressing critical challenges in privacy, scalability, and catastrophic forgetting. This thesis lays the groundwork for scalable and adaptive FL frameworks tailored to medical applications, fostering innovation in privacy-preserving healthcare AI.

description: We study thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional (2D) Falicov-Kimball model in the presence of external magnetic field perpendicular to the lattice. The field is taken into account by the Peierls substitution in the hopping term. In the non-interacting case the field dependent energy spectrum forms the famous Hofstadter butterfly. Our results indicate that for arbitrary nonzero interaction strength and arbitrary magnetic field there is a gap in the energy spectrum at sufficiently low temperature. The gap vanishes with increase of temperature for weak coupling, however, it persists at high temperatures if the coupling is strong enough. Numerical results have been obtained with the help of Monte Carlo technique based on a modified Metropolis algorithm.

title: Water Allocation Challenges in Rural River Basins: A Case Study from the Walawe River Basin, Sri Lanka
Creators: name: Weragala, D. K. Neelanga
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation evaluates the water allocation challenges in the rural river basins of the developing world, where demands are growing and the supply is limited. While many of these basins have yet to reach the state of closure, their water users are already experiencing water shortages. Agricultural crop production in rural river basins of the developing world plays a major role in ensuring food security. However, irrigation as the major water consumer in these basins has low water use efficiency. As water scarcity grows, the need to maximize economic gains by reallocating water to more efficient uses becomes important. Water allocation decisions must be made considering the social economic and environmental conditions of the developing world. The purpose of this dissertation is to identify water allocation strategies that satisfy the above conditions, in the example of the Walawe River basin in Sri Lanka. In this dissertation three manuscripts are presented. The first manuscript takes a broad view of the current water allocation situation. The second manuscript develops a methodology to analyze water allocation under a priority-based approach with the use of network flow simulation techniques. The third manuscript analyzes the water supply-demand situation in the basin under future climatic conditions. The major findings of this study suggest that: (1) while up to 44% of water is still available for use, seasonality of inflows, poor water management, physical infrastructure deficiencies, and other socio-economic factors contribute to the irrigation deficits in the Walawe basin; (2) prioritizing irrigation over hydropower generation increases supply reliability by 21% in the Walawe irrigation system IRR 1. The corresponding annual loss in power output in less than 0.5%. Prioritizing the left bank irrigation area in system IRR 2 increases the economic gains from crop yields by US $1 million annually; (3) an increase of water use efficiency between 30-50% in agriculture can mitigate all water deficits in agriculture, urban water supply and industrial sectors; (4) the predicted 25% increase of rainfall over the Walawe basin in the 2050's allows for 43% increase in hydropower generation (with changes to power generation mode) and 3-16 % reduction in irrigation requirements; (5) network flow simulation techniques can be successfully used to evaluate different demand management strategies and improvements to the priority-based water allocation method.

Phase II 6-month cyclic progesterone/spironolactone pilot therapy trial in polycystic ovary syndrome—a pre-post one-arm feasibility study
Creators: name: Nelson, Kaitlin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that significantly impacts quality of life. Existing treatments often fail to address root causes or meet primary concerns of affected individuals. This study evaluated the feasibility and impact of a 6-month treatment with cyclic progesterone and spironolactone on health-related quality of life in women with androgenic PCOS. Methods: A 6-month open-label, pre-post pilot study was conducted with 26 participants (mean age 29 ± 4.9 years, BMI 30.3 ± 8.1 kg/m², 61.5% White). Within-woman changes assessed using the PCOS-specific quality of life questionnaire (PCOSQ), acne severity, and sleep quality. Demographic, socioeconomic, comorbidities, lifestyle variables, and biochemical measures were analyzed. Results: Significant improvements were observed in the total PCOSQ score, increasing from 3.5 ± 1.0 (95% CI: 3.1; 3.8) at baseline to 4.9 ± 1.1 (95% CI: 4.6; 5.3) at 6 months (t(25) = -6.56, P = .0000007). All domains showed enhancements: emotional well-being (3.5 ± 1.2, 95% CI: 3.0; 3.9, IQR = 1.8) to 5.0 ± 1.4 (95% CI: 4.5; 5.6, IQR = 1.9) (Z = -4.0, P = .000009); body hair concerns (4.0 ± 1.8, 95% CI: 3.2; 4.7, IQR = 3.4) to 5.4 ± 1.4 (95% CI: 4.8; 5.9, IQR = 1.6) (Z = -4.4, P = .00003); weight concerns (2.6 ± 1.8, 95% CI: 1.8; 3.3, IQR = 2.1) to 4.2 ± 2.0 (95% CI: 3.4; 4.5, IQR = 3.6) (Z = -4.1, P = .0001); infertility-related distress (3.9 ± 1.5, 95% CI: 3.3; 4.5, IQR = 1.9) to 5.3 ± 1.4 (95% CI: 4.7; 5.9, IQR = 1.5) (Z = -4.1, P = .00005); and menstrual concerns (3.6 ± 1.1, 95% CI: 3.2; 4.1, IQR = 1.2) to 4.9 ± 1.4 (95% CI: 4.3; 5.4, IQR = 1.5) (Z = -3.5, P = .0009). Perceived acne severity and sleep quality also significantly improved. Conclusions: Cyclic progesterone and spironolactone showed potential as effective treatment options for improving quality of life in women with androgenic PCOS, addressing multiple symptoms. These findings support further research and suggest the need for randomized trials comparing cyclic progesterone/spironolactone to standard-of-care combined hormonal contraception.

Ab initio study of beryllium-decorated fullerenes for hydrogen storage

description: We have found that a beryllium (Be) atom on nanostructured materials with H2 molecules generates a Kubas-like dihydrogen complex [H. Lee et al. arXiv:1002.2247v1 (2010)]. Here, we investigate the feasibility of Be-decorated fullerenes for hydrogen storage using ab initio calculations. We find that the aggregation of Be atoms on pristine fullerenes is energetically preferred, resulting in the dissociation of the dihydrogen. In contrast, for boron (B)-doped fullerenes, Be atoms prefer to be individually attached to B sites of the fullerenes, and a maximum of one H2 molecule binds to each Be atom in a form of dihydrogen with a binding energy of ~0.3 eV. Our results show that individual dispersed Be-decorated B-doped fullerenes can serve as a room-temperature hydrogen storage medium.

The diffuse soft excess emission in the Coma cluster from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey

description: RASS data near the North Galactic Pole was analyzed in order to study the large-scale distribution of soft X-ray emission from the Coma cluster. These RASS data constitute the only available X-ray observations of Coma that feature an in situ -- temporally and spatially contiguous -- background, with unlimited and continuous radial coverage. These unique characteristics of the RASS data are used to deliver a final assessment on whether the soft excess previously detected in the Coma cluster is due to background subtraction errors, or not. This paper confirms the presence of soft X-ray excess associated with Coma, and reports the detection of 1/4 keV band excess out to 5 Mpc from the cluster center, the largest soft excess halo discovered to date. We propose that the emission is related to filaments that converge towards Coma, and generated either by non-thermal radiation caused by accretion shocks, or by thermal emission from the filaments themselves.

title: The Relationships Among Caregiver Training, Mentoring, and Turn-Taking Between Caregiver and Child in Family Child Care
Creators: name: Ota, Carrie L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: Basic communication skills are foundational for children's success in school and are dependent largely on their language experiences early in life. The purpose of this study was to examine two professional development models and family child care providers' use of turn-taking strategies that promote language in young children. The first professional development model consisted of a 10-hour nonformal training focused on supporting early language development. The second included the nonformal training and on-site mentoring. The 48 family child care programs were randomly assigned to one of the professional development models or a control group. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to examine the average increase in the frequency of providers' use of turn-taking strategies over three observations. Results indicate that both forms of professional development support increased use of language promoting turn-taking strategies as compared to a control group. Professional development that includes on-site mentoring support appears to be related to greater increases in providers' use of informational talk and didactic utterances over training only.

description: This paper addresses the challenge of understanding the typical star formation histories of red sequence galaxies, using linestrength indices and mass-to-light ratios as complementary constraints on their stellar age distribution. We construct simple parametric models of the star formation history that bracket a range of scenarios, and fit these models to the linestrength indices of low-redshift cluster red-sequence galaxies. For giant galaxies, we confirm the downsizing trend. We find, however, that this trend flattens or reverses at sigma < 70 km/s. We then compare predicted stellar mass-to-light ratios with dynamical mass-to-light ratios derived from the Fundamental Plane (FP), or by the SAURON group. For galaxies with sigma ~ 70 km/s, models with a "frosting" of young stars and models with exponential star formation histories have stellar mass-to-light ratios that are larger than observed dynamical mass-to-light ratios by factors of 1.7 and 1.4, respectively, and so are rejected. The SSP model is consistent with the FP, and requires a modest amount of dark matter (20-30%) to account for the difference between stellar and dynamical mass-to-light ratios. A model in which star formation was "quenched" at intermediate ages is also consistent with the observations. We find that the contribution of stellar populations to the "tilt" of the FP is highly dependent on the assumed star-formation history: for the SSP model, the tilt of the FP is driven primarily by stellar-population effects. For a quenched model, two-thirds of the tilt is due to stellar populations and only one third is due to dark matter or non-homology.

title: Ultimate Shear Capacity and Residual Prestress Force of Full-Scale, Forty-One-Year-Old Prestressed-Concrete Girders
Creators: name: Osborn, Parry
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: The ultimate shear capacity of prestressed concrete beams is difficult to predict accurately, especially after being in service for an extended period of time. The Utah Department of Transportation asked researchers at Utah State University to experimentally determine the existing shear capacity of 41-year-old prestressed, decommissioned concrete bridge girders and then provide recommendations on how to increase that ultimate shear capacity. This thesis presents the research findings that relate to the existing shear capacity of the prestressed concrete girders. Eight AASHTO Type II bridge girders were tested up to failure by applying external loads near the supports to determine their ultimate shear capacities. The measured results were then compared to calculated values obtained using the AASHTO LRFD bridge design code, and the ACI 318-08 design code. Prestress losses were also measured by means of a cracking test and then compared to values calculated according to the AASHTO prestress loss equations. Both the ultimate shear capacities and the residual prestress forces were used to evaluate the girders after being in service for more than 40 years.
title: Field and Smog Chamber Studies of Agricultural Emissions and Reaction Products
Creators: name: Price, Derek J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Agricultural emissions are an important contributor to atmospheric aerosol. These emissions include nitrogen containing organic compounds, primarily as amines, which have not been well investigated to date. Although there have been several studies that have looked at the emission of gas phase amines, there are only a few studies that have focused on ambient amine-based aerosol. There have also only been a handful of smog chamber studies that have investigated amine aerosol chemistry. Kinetic studies have looked at the reactions of amines with OH and ozone. However, amine reactions with nitrate radical (NO3) are not well understood. Several years of measuring atmospheric particulate matter in Cache Valley, Utah, using an aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS), has shown the presence of amine aerosol in significant concentrations (0.5-6 μg/m3). Furthermore, the concentration of amine aerosol peaks at night when NO3 is the dominant oxidant. This thesis details experiments aimed at obtaining a better understanding of the underlying reactions that lead to aerosol formation in Cache Valley and is focused on amine reactivity studies, employing both field and laboratory experiments. There were two field studies performed near agricultural facilities in California. These studies provide a good comparison to the ambient chemistry observed in Utah. The detection of a small amount of amine aerosol was important in showing that amine aerosol is not unique to Utah. The results of these studies add to the previous knowledge base of ambient chemistry in California. This should help future researchers performing similar field studies in California and other locations. Smog chamber-based laboratory experiments included amine reactions with common oxidants, such as ozone and NO3. While small amounts of aerosol formation occurred with ozone (~10 μg/m3), reaction with NO3 produced the most aerosol (up to 135 μg/m3). The smog chamber studies show the importance of amine/NO3 chemistry in the formation of ambient aerosol. Researchers can use this work to aid in further understanding the ambient atmospheric chemistry occurring at various locations. The smog chamber studies also provide a knowledge base that should help guide future work into this area of research.

description: In the present-day panorama of large spectroscopic surveys, the amount, diversity, and complexity of the available data continuously increase. We present a comprehensive catalogue, the Survey of Surveys (SoS), built by homogeneously merging the radial velocity (RV) determinations of the largest ground-based spectroscopic surveys to date, such as APOGEE, GALAH, Gaia-ESO, RAVE, and LAMOST, using Gaia as reference. We have devised a multi-staged procedure that includes: i) the cross match between Gaia and the spectroscopic surveys using the official Gaia cross-match algorithm, ii) the normalization of uncertainties using repeated measurements or the three-cornered hat method, iii) the cross calibration of the RVs as a function of the main parameters they depend on (magnitude, effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity, and signal-to-noise ratio) to remove trends and zero point offsets, and iv) the comparison with external high-resolution samples, such as the Gaia RV standards and the Geneva-Copenhagen survey, to validate the homogenization procedure and to calibrate the RV zero-point of the SoS catalogue. We provide the largest homogenized RV catalogue to date, containing almost 11 million stars, of which about half come exclusively from Gaia and half in combination with the ground-based surveys. We estimate the accuracy of the RV zero-point to be about 0.16-0.31 km/s and the RV precision to be in the range 0.05-1.50 km/s depending on the type of star and on its survey provenance. We validate the SoS RVs with open clusters from a high resolution homogeneous samples and we provide median RVs for 532 clusters recently discovered by Gaia data. The SoS is publicly available, ready to be applied to various research projects, such as the study of star clusters, Galactic archaeology, stellar streams, or the characterization of planet-hosting stars, to name a few.

title: Data Analysis of Utah's I-80 and I-215 Bridges - For the use in the Development of Accelerated Bridge Construction Standards
Creators: name: Rosvall, Erik S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: This study discusses five bridges on Utah's I-80 that were replaced in the summer of 2008 using Accelerated Bridge Construction methods. Each superstructure was built offsite and moved into place with the use of Self-Propelled Modular Transporters. The bridges were instrumented and monitored during the moving process to investigate the effects of moving an entire superstructure into place. Collected data was analyzed to find the level of stress each superstructure experienced during lifting, moving, and placement of each bridge. The change in supporting conditions from when the superstructure was built to being transferred onto Self-Propelled Modular Transporters caused significant stress reversals for all the bridges studied. A two-dimensional analysis was done using the dead load of the structure to find the initial stresses in the superstructure when supported on temporary abutments. The measured change in stress due to lifting was compared to calculations. The difference between these two stresses was defined as the lifting stress in the superstructure. Additionally, dynamic stresses incurred due to the bridge moving are determined to be within design tolerance.
