description: In this article, vibration of thin-walled beams with arbitrary open cross-section shape is investigated. Based on the beam element model accounting for warping and flexural–torsional coupling, analytical solutions for different boundary conditions are derived for higher free vibration modes in bending, torsion and flexural–torsional coupled modes. In the model, the effects of rotational inertial kinematic terms are considered. The finite element approach of the model is also investigated. Three-dimensional beams with seven degrees of freedom per node are adopted in the mesh process. Free vibration and forced vibration analyses are possible. In forced vibration, the behaviour of the beams is studied in the frequency domain using the steady-state method (modal analysis). Damping is considered using the Rayleigh model. The model is validated by comparing the results to benchmark solutions found in the literature and to other recent numerical and experimental results. Additional finite element simulations are performed by means of commercial softwares (Abaqus and Adina). In slender unrestrained beams, the vibration behaviour is predominated by torsion and lateral bending modes. In design, recourse to braces is a good compromise. This solution is discussed, and improvement of the vibration behaviour in the presence of intermediate braces is confirmed. Application of higher vibration modes in building and bridge design is outlined. The effects of the number and distribution of the intermediate braces to improve structural stability against vibration behaviour is outlined.

description: A description of the Pagan spiritual and religious worldview was developed through phenomenological analysis of data from a qualitative questionnaire that surveyed members of the Atlantic Canadian Pagan community regarding their beliefs, experiences and perceptions. The key beliefs, practices and core issues of the Pagan worldview were identified as: 1) the Divine is immanent in the World; 2) veneration of Nature; 3) interconnectedness of all; 4) magic; 5) honouring of Nature's cycles; 6) individual spiritual authority and responsibility; and 7) celebration of diversity. Also identified were insights the Pagan worldview can offer to enrich the profession of social work: 1) holistic practice models need to incorporate spirituality; 2) commitment to global social justice fostered by interconnectedness of all; 3) individual and societal change demands spiritual engagement; 4) personal responsibility for spiritual path; and 5) embrace and celebrate spiritual diversity.

description: We have spectroscopically measured the energy level separation of a superconducting charge qubit coupled non-resonantly to a single mode of the electromagnetic field of a superconducting on-chip resonator. The strong coupling leads to large shifts in the energy levels of both the qubit and the resonator in this circuit quantum electrodynamics system. The dispersive shift of the resonator frequency is used to non-destructively determine the qubit state and to map out the dependence of its energy levels on the bias parameters. The measurement induces an ac-Stark shift of 0.6 MHz per photon in the qubit level separation. Fluctuations in the photon number (shot noise) induce level fluctuations in the qubit leading to dephasing which is the characteristic back-action of the measurement. A cross-over from lorentzian to gaussian line shape with increasing measurement power is observed and theoretically explained. For weak measurement a long intrinsic dephasing time of T_2 > 200 ns of the qubit is found.

description: We study the stability of social and economic networks when players are farsighted. In particular, we examine whether the networks formed by farsighted players are different from those formed by myopic players. We adopt Herings, Mauleon and Vannetelbosch’s (Games and Economic Behavior, forthcoming) notion of pairwise farsightedly stable set. We first investigate in some classical models of social and economic networks whether the pairwise farsightedly stable sets of networks coincide with the set of pairwise (myopically) stable networks and the set of strongly efficient networks. We then provide some primitive conditions on value functions and allocation rules so that the set of strongly efficient networks is the unique pairwise farsightedly stable set. Under the componentwise egalitarian allocation rule, the set of strongly efficient networks and the set of pairwise (myopically) stable networks that are immune to coalitional deviations are the unique pairwise farsightedly stable set if and only if the value function is top convex.

description: Benzothiazole based cyanine dyes with bridged groups in pentamethine chain were studied as potential far-red fluorescent probes for protein detection. Spectral-luminescent properties were characterized for unbound dyes and in the presence of serum albumins (bovine (BSA), human (HSA), equine (ESA)), and globular proteins (β-lactoglobulin, ovalbumin). We have observed that the addition of albumins leads to a significant increase in dyes fluorescence intensity. However, the fluorescent response of dyes in the presence of other globular proteins was notably lower. The value of fluorescence quantum yield for dye bearing sulfonate group complexed with HSA amounted to 42% compared with 0.2% for the free dye. The detection limit of HSA by this dye was about greater than 0.004 mg ml−1 that indicates the high sensitivity of dye to low HSA concentrations. Modelling of structure of the dyes complexes with albumin molecules was performed by molecular docking. According to these data, dyes could bind to up to five sites on the HSA molecule; the most preferable are the hemin-binding site in subdomain IB and the dye-binding site in the pocket between subdomains IA, IIA and IIIA. This work confirms that pentamethine cyanine dyes could be proposed as powerful far-red fluorescent probes applicable for highly sensitive detection of albumins.

description: The scope of this thesis was the design and development of a dynamically created Graphical User Interface (GUI) which could manage - a pointed as input- remote database. Basically, it is created a dynamically created administration tool of the remote database, designed and developed for the Android environment. More specifically , our application consists of two subsystems: • The Client Side subsystem (Android Application) which illustrates graphically the structure of any remote database pointed to and additionally gives users the opportunity to apply specific actions to the database (such as record insert, delete , update etc.) in a simple and user friendly way. • The Server Side subsystem which is actually a single interface of the remote database. For the purpose of this thesis, we focused our efforts in developing only the "insert record" action, for the tables of the remote database. But, the most important thing is that we designed and delivered a whole infrastructure and the methodology in order our application to be transformed, with minimal effort, into a complete remote database administration environment.

description: We study the possible occurrence of the hadron-quark phase transition (PT) during the merging of neutron star binaries by hydrodynamical simulations employing a set of temperature dependent hybrid equations of state (EoSs). Following previous work we describe an unambiguous and measurable signature of deconfined quark matter in the gravitational-wave (GW) signal of neutron star binary mergers including equal-mass and unequal-mass systems of different total binary mass. The softening of the EoS by the PT at higher densities, i.e. after merging, leads to a characteristic increase of the dominant postmerger GW frequency f_peak relative to the tidal deformability Lambda inferred during the premerger inspiral phase. Hence, measuring such an increase of the postmerger frequency provides evidence for the presence of a strong PT. If the postmerger frequency and the tidal deformability are compatible with results from purely baryonic EoS models yielding very tight relations between f_peak and Lambda, a strong PT can be excluded up to a certain density. We find tight correlations of f_peak and Lambda with the maximum density during the early postmerger remnant evolution. These GW observables thus inform about the density regime which is probed by the remnant and its GW emission. Exploiting such relations we devise a directly applicable, concrete procedure to constrain the onset density of the QCD PT from future GW measurements. We point out two interesting scenarios: if no indications for a PT are inferred from a GW detection, our procedure yields a lower limit on the onset density of the hadron quark PT. On the contrary, if a merger event reveals evidence for the occurrence of deconfined quark matter, the inferred GW parameters set an upper limit on the PT onset density. (abridged)

description: A quasi-one dimensional antiferromagnet with a strong reduction of the ordered spin component, BaCu2Si2O7, is studied by the magnetic resonance technique in a wide field and frequency range. Besides of conventional spin-flop transition at the magnetic field parallel to the easy axis of spin ordering, magnetic resonance spectra indicate additional spin-reorientation transitions in all three principal orientations of magnetic field. At these additional transitions the spins rotate in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field keeping the mutual arrangement of ordered spin components. The observed magnetic resonance spectra and spin-reorientation phase transitions are quantitatively described by a model including the anisotropy of transverse susceptibility with respect to the order parameter orientation. The anisotropy of the transverse susceptibility and the strong reduction of the anisotropy energy due to the quantum spin fluctuations are proposed to be the reason of the spin reorientations which are observed.

description: Simulation nowadays plays an increasing role in the assessment of possible solutions and situation analysis. However, the tools used and previously created models are often incompatible and territorially distributed. Domain specialists lack the expertise and specific programming skills to use them effectively. The development of the Future Internet creates new challenges for simulation engineering by offering extended access. However, primarily a conception is needed, which would create unified access to the simulation architecture on the Future Internet. The paper discusses development of a new conceptual approach to simulation engineering, aiming to support domain experts in performing simulation of complicated socio-technical systems on the Cloud.
Coevolution Based Adaptive Monte Carlo Localization (CEAMCL)

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: An adaptive Monte Carlo localization algorithm based on coevolution mechanism of ecological species is proposed. Samples are clustered into species, each of which represents a hypothesis of the robots pose. Since the coevolution between the species ensures that the multiple distinct hypotheses can be tracked stably, the problem of premature convergence when using MCL in highly symmetric environments can be solved. And the sample size can be adjusted adaptively over time according to the uncertainty of the robots pose by using the population growth model. In addition, by using the crossover and mutation operators in evolutionary computation, intra-species evolution can drive the samples move towards the regions where the desired posterior density is large. So a small size of samples can represent the desired density well enough to make precise localization. The new algorithm is termed coevolution based adaptive Monte Carlo localization (CEAMCL). Experiments have been carried out to prove the efficiency of the new localization algorithm.

description: Advanced model-based controllers are well established in process industries. However, such controllers require regular maintenance to maintain acceptable performance. It is a common practice to monitor controller performance continuously and to initiate a remedial model re-identification procedure in the event of performance degradation. Such procedures are typically complicated and resource-intensive, and they often cause costly interruptions to normal operations. In this paper, we exploit recent developments in reinforcement learning and deep learning to develop a novel adaptive, model-free controller for general discrete-time processes. The DRL controller we propose is a data-based controller that learns the control policy in real time by merely interacting with the process. The effectiveness and benefits of the DRL controller are demonstrated through many simulations.

description: We present a systematic numerical-relativity study of the dynamical ejecta, winds and nucleosynthesis in neutron star merger remnants. Binaries with the chirp mass compatible with GW170817, different mass ratios, and five microphysical equations of state (EOS) are simulated with an approximate neutrino transport and a subgrid model for magnetohydrodynamics turbulence up to 100 milliseconds postmerger. Spiral density waves propagating from the neutron star remnant to the disk trigger a wind with mass flux ${\sim}0.1{-}0.5\,{\rm M_\odot/s}$ persisting for the entire simulation as long as the remnant does not collapse to black hole. This wind has average electron fraction $\gtrsim 0.3$ and average velocity ${\sim}0.1-0.17\,$c and thus is a site for the production of weak $r$-process elements (mass number $A<195$). Disks around long-lived remnants have masses ${\sim}0.1{-}0.2\,{\rm M_\odot}$, temperatures peaking at $\lesssim10\,$MeV near the inner edge, and a characteristic double-peak distribution in entropy resulting from shocks propagating through the disk. The dynamical and spiral-wave ejecta computed in our targeted simulations are not compatible with those inferred from AT2017gfo using two-components kilonova models. Rather, they indicate that multi-component kilonova models including disk winds are necessary to interpret AT2017gfo. The nucleosynthesis in the combined dynamical ejecta and spiral-wave wind in the comparable-mass long-lived mergers robustly accounts for all the $r$-process peaks, from mass number ${\sim}75$ to actinides in terms of solar abundances. Total abundandes are weakly dependent on the EOS, while the mass ratio affect the production of first peak elements.

description: We present the first general relativistic hydrodynamic models of the launch and evolution of relativistic jets and winds, driven by thermal energy deposition, possibly due to neutrino-antineutrino annihilation, in the close vicinity of black hole-accretion torus systems. The latter are considered to be the remnants of compact object mergers. Our two-dimensional simulations establish the link between such mergers and future observations of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by the SWIFT satellite. They show that ultrarelativistic outflow with maximum terminal Lorentz factors (Gamma) around 1000 develops for polar energy deposition rates above some 1e48 erg/s per steradian, provided the merger environment has a sufficiently low baryon density. Due to the collimation by the dense accretion torus the typical semi-opening angles of the Gamma > 100 cone are 5-10 degrees, corresponding to about 0.4-1.5% of the hemisphere and apparent isotropized energies (kinetic plus internal) up to ~1e51 erg. 10-30% of the deposited energy are transferred to the outflow with Gamma > 100. Our models confirm the viability of post-merger BH-torus systems as engines of short, hard GRBs and can explain the durations of all observed short GRBs, because different propagation velocities of the front and rear ends lead to a radial stretching of the ultrarelativistic fireball before transparency is reached. The ultrarelativistic flow reveals a highly non-uniform structure with Lorentz factor variations up to factors of a few, caused by the action of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities that originate at the fireball-torus interface (abbreviated).

description: Nd_0.5 Ca_0.5 MnO_3 (NCMO) nanoparticles (average diameter ~ 20 and 40 nm) are synthesized by polymeric precursor sol-gel method and characterized by X- ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selective area electron diffraction (SAED), superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometery and resistivity measurements. Both single crystalline and polycrystalline particles are present in the samples and they are found to retain the orthorhombic structure of the bulk NCMO. However, most strikingly, in the 20 nm particles, the charge ordered (CO) and the antiferromagnetic phases observed in the bulk at 250 K and 160 K respectively are completely absent. Instead, a ferromagnetic (FM) transition is observed at 95 K followed by an insulator to metal transition at 75 K. In the 40 nm particles, though a weak, residual CO phase is observed, transition to FM state also occurs, but at a slightly higher temperature of 110 K. The magnetization is found to increase with the decrease of particle size.

description: Distance between fluorescent spots formed by various kinetochore proteins (Delta) is commonly interpreted as manifestation of intrakinetochore tension (IKT) caused by microtubule-mediated forces. However, large-scale changes of the kinetochore architecture such as its shape or dimensions may also contribute to the value of Delta. To assess contributions of these non-elastic changes, we compare behaviour of Delta values in human kinetochores with small yet mechanically malleable kinetochores against compound kinetochores in Indian muntjac cells (IM) whose architecture remains constant. Due to the micrometre-scale length of kinetochore plates in IM, their shape and orientation are discernible in conventional light microscopy, which enables precise measurements of IKT independent of contributions from changes in overall architecture of the organelle. We find that Delta in IM kinetochores remains relatively constant when microtubule-mediated forces are suppressed by Taxol, but it prominently decreases upon detachment of microtubules. By contrast, large decreases of Delta observed in Taxol-treated human cells coincide with prominent changes in length and curvature of the kinetochore plate. These observations, supported by computational modelling, suggest that at least 50% of the decrease in Delta in human cells reflects malleable reorganization of kinetochore architecture rather than elastic recoil due to IKT.

description: This paper presents the combined operation of a classical state estimator and a load estimation method, through the potential of advanced automation systems AMR-AMI. State estimation becomes complicated in distribution networks due to the lack of actual measurements. The key role of smart meters at low voltage consumers is noted for effective load estimation at distribution network buses where absence of real data is marked. After studying the existing literature on the subject, a program was developed in Matlab environment on load estimation and simulations were performed in distribution network of 55 buses. The data acquired were introduced into the state estimator along with data of real-time measurements. The aim of the study is to obtain an accurate state estimation algorithm for distribution networks in order to achieve optimal, cost-efficient and safe operation. Overall the study, it is concluded that more precise state estimation is resulted as data transmission from smart meters towards management centers get more frequent.

description: We study the phase structure of a dilute two-component Fermi system with attractive interactions as a function of the coupling and the polarization or number difference between the two components. In weak coupling, a finite number asymmetry results in phase separation. A mixed phase containing symmetric superfluid matter and an asymmetric normal phase is favored. With increasing coupling strength, we show that the stress on the superfluid phase to accommodate a number asymmetry increases. Near the infinite-scattering length limit, we calculate the single-particle excitation spectrum and the ground-state energy at various polarizations. A picture of weakly-interacting quasi-particles emerges for modest polarizations. In this regime near infinite scattering length, and for modest polarizations, a homogeneous phase with a finite population of excited quasi-particle states characterized by a gapless spectrum should be favored over the phase separated state. These states may be realized in cold atom experiments.

description: The exact nature of dark energy is currently unknown and its cosmological perturbations, when dark energy is assumed not to be the cosmological constant, are usually modeled as adiabatic. Here we explore the possibility that dark energy might have a nonadiabatic component and we examine how it would affect several key cosmological observables. We present analytical solutions for the growth rate and growth index of matter density perturbations and compare them to both numerical solutions of the fluid equations and an implementation in the Boltzmann code CLASS, finding that they all agree to well below one percent. We also perform a Monte Carlo analysis to derive constraints on the parameters of the nonadiabatic component using the latest cosmological data, including the temperature and polarization spectra of the Cosmic Microwave Background as observed by Planck, the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations, the Pantheon type Ia supernovae compilation and lastly, measurements of Redshift Space Distortions (RSD) of the growth rate of matter perturbations. We find that the amplitude of the nonadiabatic pressure perturbation is consistent with zero within $1σ$. Finally, we also present a new, publicly available, RSD likelihood for MontePython based on the "Gold 2018" growth rate data compilation.

Electronic and optical properties of metal-doped TiO$_2$ nanotubes: Spintronic and photocatalytic applications

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Due to their characteristic geometry, TiO$_2$ nanotubes (TNTs), suitably doped by metal-substitution to enhance their photocatalytic properties, have a high potential for applications such as clean fuel production. In this context, we present a detailed investigation of the magnetic, electronic, and optical properties of transition-metal doped TNTs, based on hybrid density functional theory. In particular, we focus on the $3d$, the $4d$, as well as selected $5d$ transition-metal doped TNTs. Thereby, we are able to explain the enhanced optical activity and photocatalytic sensitivity observed in various experiments. We find, for example, that Cr- and W-doped TNTs can be employed for applications like water splitting and carbon dioxide reduction, and for spintronic devices. The best candidate for water splitting is Fe-doped TNT, in agreement with experimental observations. In addition, our findings provide valuable hints for future experimental studies of the ferromagnetic/spintronic behavior of metal-doped titania nanotubes.

Chandra observations of the recurrent nova IM Nor

description: The recurrent nova IM Nor was observed twice in X-rays with Chandra ACIS-S, 1 and 6 months after the optical outburst. It was not detected in the first observation, with an upper limit on the X-ray luminosity in the 0.2-10 keV range L(x) < 4.8 x 10^(30) x (d/1 kpc)^2 erg s^(-1) (where d is the distance to the nova). Five months later, a hard X-ray source with L(x) = (1.4-2.5) x 10^(32) x (d/1 kpc)^2 erg s^(-1) was detected. The X-ray spectrum appears to be thermal, but we cannot rule out additional components due to unresolved emission lines. A blackbody component is likely to contribute to the observed spectrum, but it has bolometric luminosity L$_{\rm bol} = 2.5 x 10^(33) x (d/1 kpc)^2 erg s^(-1), therefore it is not sufficiently luminous to be due to a central white dwarf which is still burning hydrogen on the surface. An optical spectrum, taken 5 months post-outburst, indicates no intrinsic reddening of the ejecta. Therefore, we conclude that the shell had already become optically thin to supersoft X-rays, but nuclear burning had already turned off, or was in the process of turning off at this time. We discuss why this implies that recurrent novae, even the rare ones with long optical decays like IM Nor, indicating a large envelope mass, are not statistically significant as type Ia SN candidates.

description: The flexural–torsional vibration behavior of unrestrained and braced thin-walled beams is investigated by experimental and finite elements approaches. In the experimental part, tests in free and forced vibrations of thin walled beams with arbitrary sections are analyzed. By the help of an instrumental hammer test and a shaker machine, the natural frequencies and the response spectra of the beams are extracted in the range 1–400Hz. Beam displacements are measured by some accelerometer transducers. The behavior is also investigated by the finite element method. In mesh process, 3D beams are adopted and an additional DOF is affected to the warping. The model is implemented in a home-made model. The numerical and experimental results are compared to numerical simulations of a commercial code. Test results and numerical simulations of the present model agree well. The model seems to be accurate especially in the presence of higher vibration and coupled modes.
Pseudorapidity Asymmetry and Centrality Dependence of Charged Hadron Spectra in d+Au Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV

description: The pseudorapidity asymmetry and centrality dependence of charged hadron spectra in d+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV are presented. The charged particle density at mid-rapidity, its pseudorapidity asymmetry and centrality dependence are reasonably reproduced by a Multi-Phase Transport model, by HIJING, and by the latest calculations in a saturation model. Ratios of transverse momentum spectra between backward and forward pseudorapidity are above unity for \pT below 5 GeV/$c$. The ratio of central to peripheral spectra in d+Au collisions shows enhancement at 2 $

description: We present transport calculations for heavy ion reactions in which the mean field and the in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross section are consistently based on the same effective interaction, i.e. the in-medium T-matrix from microscopic Dirac-Brueckner calculations. Doing so, the stopping in central reactions in terms of the recently proposed $var_{\rm tl}$ observable and the correlation to the behavior of the directed flow is investigated. The relation to the nuclear shear viscosity is discussed.

Consensus-based processes for local and regional planning
Creators: name: Hill, Jennifer Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Consensus processes hold considerable potential for application in local and regional planning. Focusing primarily on the Capital Regional District of British Columbia, this thesis aims to understand the obstacles to using consensus processes in local and regional government; to deterrnine the kinds of planning tasks suited to consensus processes; and to identify actions needed to support their increased use. Nineteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 participants in a qualitative approach to data collection. A first order concept analysis was carried out on the transcribed texts, followed by a search for categories and groupings of concepts. Data analysis was furthered structured through the use of an analytical framework that defined a series of questions to apply to the research data. Key findings include: there is a wide variation in the level of understanding of consensus and consensus processes among respondents; assessing a situation for its suitability to consensus is a critical step in achieving a consensus outcome; it is important to distinguish between locally-situated plarmingrelated conflicts and broader community planning activities; ways to support the increased use of consensus include political leadership, education and training, and policy and program development. A framework that outlines criteria for assessing consensus suitability is developed as a tool for planners, elected and government officials. Recommendations include the development of a nation-wide network of plarming professionals, academics and poUticians who are interested in exploring and promoting the use of consensus in local and regional government.
