description: This report presents the seismic evaluation of the US41 Northbound bridge over the Ohio River connecting Evansville, Indiana and Henderson, Kentucky. The main bridge is a four-span cantilever through-truss type. The approach bridge has 8 spans on the Evansville, IN side and 35 spans on the Henderson, KY side. Although this bridge has not yet been subjected to a moderate or major earthquake, it is situated within the influence of the New Madrid and Wabash Valley Seismic Zones.  The seismic evaluation program consisted of field testing and seismic response analysis. The modal properties of the main bridge were determined through field testing, and were used to calibrate a three dimensional finite element model. The finite element model was then subjected to time histories of the 50-year earthquake event. Stresses and displacements obtained were found to be within the acceptable limits. Analytical results indicate that the superstructure of the main bridge will survive the projected 50-year earthquake without any damage and no loss-of-span. However, all supports on the piers of the main bridge require additional anchor bolts or seismic isolation bearings.  The approach spans were analyzed using response spectrum method with simplified single-degree-of-freedom models. Thirteen out of forty-two supports having fixed bearings on both the Kentucky and Indiana approach spans require additional anchor bolts at the fixed bearings or seismic isolation bearings.

description: We consider weighted top-down tree automata and weighted bottom-up tree automata with discounting over commutative semirings, and we show that the two models accept the same class of formal tree series. For this class of tree series we establish a Kleene theorem and an MSO logical characterization. Then, we introduce weighted Muller tree automata with discounting over the max-plus and the min-plus semirings, and we show their expressive equivalence with two fragments of weighted MSO sentences.

description: This paper describes a novel technique that allows separation and quantification of different sources of convection in the high-latitude ionosphere. To represent the ionospheric convection electric field, we use the Spherical Elementary Convection Systems representation. We demonstrate how this technique can separate and quantify the contributions from different magnetospheric source regions to the overall ionospheric convection pattern. The technique is in particular useful for distinguishing the contributions of high-latitude reconnection associated with lobe cells from the low-latitude reconnection associated with Dungey two-cell circulation. The results from the current paper are utilized in a companion paper (Reistad et al., 2019, https://doi.org/10.1029/2019JA026641) to quantify how the dipole tilt angle influences lobe convection cells. We also describe a relation bridging other representations of the ionospheric convection electric field or potential to the Spherical Elementary Convection Systems description, enabling a similar separation of convection sources from existing models.
Effect of risky alcohol use on performance and brain activity in a flanker go/no-go task
Creators: name: Walters, LK
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2024

description: Alcohol is a commonly used substance, which when used to risky levels, can have adverse effects on brain functioning. Specifically, disordered use is understood to affect executive functions, such as inhibitory control. Deficits in inhibitory control may impact ability to control impulses and therefore may have a maintaining effect on alcohol and other substance use disorders. The present study examined the relationship between risky alcohol use and inhibitory control by observing event related potentials (ERPs) during a combined flanker go/no-go task. High and low risk alcohol use groups were formed using total score on the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) and then compared on the behavioural measures of accuracy and response time. Amplitude of the frontal N2 component of the ERP waveform was also used as a psychophysiological measure of inhibitory control. There were no statistically significant differences in N2 amplitude, nor any differences between groups on response time or accuracy. This may have been due to limitations of the study, resulting in a low number of participants that reported high levels of alcohol use. Future research should continue to clarify this relationship to determine at what level alcohol use begins to effect executive functions.

description: Από τις εργαστηριακές βιοδοκιμές ελέγχου αντιβακτηριακής δράσης εκχυλισμάτων μεθανόλης/νερού 1/1 (MW) και νερού (W) επτά φυτικών ειδών, προέκυψε ότι περισσότερο δραστικό ήταν το MW εκχύλισμα του A. chalcidicum έναντι των βακτηρίων Εrwinia amylovora και Pseudomonas syringae, από τα οποία δεν αναπτύχθηκε ανθεκτικότητα έναντι του συγκεκριμένου εκχυλίσματος. Αντιβακτηριακή δράση παρουσίασαν και τα W εκχυλίσματα των φυτών Fumaria spp. και Artemisia absinthium για τα δύο αυτά βακτήρια. Το μόνο εκχύλισμα που έδειξε δράση έναντι του βακτηρίου Agrobacterium tumefaciens είναι το W εκχύλισμα του A. absinthium.Εξαιτίας της εντονότερης δραστικότητας του, το MW εκχύλισμα του A. chalcidicum, υποβλήθηκε σε χρωματογραφικό διαχωρισμό μέσης πίεσης από τον οποίο προέκυψαν 308 κλάσματα τα οποία στη συνέχεια συνενώθηκαν σε 29 ομάδες, ανάλογα με το χρόνο συγκράτησης των ουσιών τους. Από τις βιοδοκιμές αντιβακτηριακής δράσης των 29 ομάδων δράση παρουσίασαν οι ALY-Β, ALY-Γ, ALY-ΙΓ, ALY-ΙΖ, ALY-ΙΗ, ALY-ΙΘ, ALY-Κ, ALY-ΚΑ και ALY-ΚΒ έναντι των βακτηρίων Εrwinia amylovora και Pseudomonas syringae. Δραστικότερη ήταν η ομάδα ALY-Β από την οποία, μετά από παρασκευαστική χρωματογραφία λεπτής στοιβάδας, παραλήφθηκαν 4 ζώνες ουσιών με διαφορετικό χρόνο συγκράτησης. Έγινε επανάληψη βιοδοκιμών με διάχυση σε χάρτινους δίσκους και αξιόλογη αναστολή της ανάπτυξης και των δύο βακτηρίων εμφάνισε η ζώνη α με χρόνο συγκράτησης 0,05.
description: In this work had been checked the antibacterial activities of methanol/water 1/1 (MW) and water (w) extracts of seven plant species of greek flora. The results of antibacterial bioassays shown that the most antibacterial activity had the MW extract of Alyssum chalcidicum against to Erwinia amylovora and Pseudomonus syringae. These two bacteria had not develop resistance against this extract. Antibacterial activity also, had the W extracts of Fumaria spp and Artemisia absinthium, for these two bacteria. Only one extract shown action against to Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the W extract of A.absinthium. The MW extract of A.chalcidium was separated with "medium pressure liquid chromatography" and have been taken 308 fractions that gave 29 new bigger fractions. Antibacterial activity showed the nine of 29 fractions against Erwinia amylovora and Pseudomonas syringae. More active was the ALY-B. ALY-B with "thin layer chromatography" gave four different substances zones. Great activity had the zone α with Rf 0,05.

Σκοπός είναι η τυποποίηση της διαδικασίας ανάλυσης και η εξαγωγή χρήσιμων και κατανοητών συμπερασμάτων χωρίς έκπτωση στην επιστημονική τεκμηρίωση.Ο υπόγειος υδροφορέας που μελετάται και βάση του οποίου παρουσιάζεται η μεθοδολογία, είναι αυτός του Άνω Ανθεμούντα Χαλκιδικής. Η περιοχή μελέτης αποτελείται από διαπερατά και ημιδιαπερατά εδάφη και χαρακτηρίζεται από έντονη υπεράντληση των υδατικών του αποθεμάτων. Ταυτόχρονα, στη περιοχή λειτουργούν τρεις εν δυνάμει ρυπογόνες βιομηχανικές μονάδες, την διαχείριση των οποίων διαπραγματεύεται η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία.Η διάρθρωση της εργασίας ακολουθεί τη λογική σειρά της μεθοδολογίας που προτείνεται. Στο πρώτο μέρος παρουσιάζονται τα στοιχεία της περιοχής που έχουν συλλεχθεί από παλαιότερες μελέτες. Στη συνέχεια κατασκευάζεται το ψηφιακό μοντέλο του υπόγειου εδάφους και καταστρώνονται οι υποψήφιες στρατηγικές διαχείρισης. Το επόμενο βήμα είναι ο προσδιορισμός του κόστους του κάθε σεναρίου, χρησιμοποιώντας τα αποτελέσματα από την ανάλυση που προηγήθηκε, με έμφαση στην ευελιξία προσδιορισμού του περιβαλλοντικού κόστους και της πιθανότητας διαρροής ρύπων στον υπόγειο υδροφορέα. Τέλος γίνεται η παρουσίαση των αποτελεσμάτων και η επιλογή της βέλτιστης λύσης.Η μεθοδολογία που αναπτύσσεται έχει δύο κύρια πλεονεκτήματα. Η ευελιξία των αποτελεσμάτων δίνει τη δυνατότητα στον μελετητή να επιλέξει τη βέλτιστη λύση, ακόμη κι αν τα δεδομένα που επηρεάζουν το κόστος δεν είναι και τα πλέον ακριβή. Παράλληλα ο τρόπος παρουσίασης των αποτελεσμάτων γίνεται με τέτοιο τρόπο, ώστε να είναι κατανοητά και από άτομα που δεν είναι εξοικειωμένα με τη διαχείριση του περιβάλλοντος. Αποτέλεσμα του τελευταίου, είναι ο μελετητής να έχει στα χέρια του ένα εργαλείο, που να ισχυροποιεί τις θέσεις του και να πείθει ευκολότερα για την αναγκαιότητα εφαρμογής των προτάσεών του.

description: In this work, we investigate the conductance and current correlations properties of a quantum topological inteferometer consisting of a QD coupled to two Majorana Bound States (MBSs) confined at both ends of a 1D topological superconductor ring nanowire. We analyze the ring in its topological non trivial and trivial phases to show that the tunneling conductance, shot noise and fano factor present unique characteristics to distinguish the hallmark of MBSs. We reinforce our findings by taking advantage of the correspondence between the quantum topological interferometer and a dot effectively coupled to a single Majorana state in a straight topological superconductor wire configuration. We show that, besides the characteristic zero-bias conductance $e^{2} /2h$ and the already known shot noise features, the Fano factor provides significant information to distinguish the MBSs presence.

description: Strong coupling between molecular vibrations and microcavity modes has been demonstrated to modify physical and chemical properties of the molecular material. Here, we study the much less explored coupling between lattice vibrations (phonons) and microcavity modes. Embedding thin layers of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) into classical microcavities, we demonstrate the evolution from weak to ultrastrong phonon-photon coupling when the hBN thickness is increased from a few nanometers to a fully filled cavity. Remarkably, strong coupling is achieved for hBN layers as thin as 10 nm. Further, the ultrastrong coupling in fully filled cavities yields a cavity polariton dispersion matching that of phonon polaritons in bulk hBN, highlighting that the maximum light-matter coupling in microcavities is limited to the coupling strength between photons and the bulk material. The tunable cavity phonon polaritons could become a versatile platform for studying how the coupling strength between photons and phonons may modify the properties of polar crystals.

description: This is a study undertaken on behalf of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). There are two main objectives of the Freight Movement and Intermodal Access in Kentucky Study (SPR 98-189): evaluation of the access for trucks between intermodal or other truck generating sites and the National Highway System (NHS); and furthering the understanding of freight commodity flows throughout the state. This report summarizes the access evaluation for the Norfolk Southern Rail Intermodal Terminal located in Jefferson County in the KIPDA Area Development District (ADD) and KYTC Highway District #5. The location of the site is shown in Figure 1. Work on other specific sites as well as the freight commodity flow task is ongoing and documented elsewhere.  The sites to be evaluated in this study were selected from two existing databases (a truck facility survey from 1994 and the intermodal facility inventory) based on ADD and KYTC Highway District planner recommendations, geographic location, distance to the NHS, and the number of trucks accessing the site. Consideration was also made for the freight type handled and transportation modes used.  The site was visited for video recording on April 23, 1998 and for data collection on September 29, 1998. The facility is located at 4705 Jennings Lane in Louisville. As shown in Figure 2, the surrounding area is urban and primarily industrial near the site. The Louisville Produce Terminal is another truck trip generator in the immediate vicinity. A phone survey was conducted with the facility manager of the rail terminal early in the study process. The survey found that between 200 and 300 trucks per day normally access the site with significantly higher numbers (up to 400) in the peak season (summer to mid-fall). Truck traffic was reported to peak between 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm. The trucks are generally 40-foot semi trailers; however, 53-foot trailers also access the site. The phone survey indicated general freight was handled at this facility. The only problem mentioned in the survey was a poor state of repair on a section not on the main route to this site. The phone survey information can be found in Appendix A.

description: We present a new method which combines Car-Parrinello and Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics in order to accelerate density functional theory based ab-initio simulations. Depending on the system a gain in efficiency of one to two orders of magnitude has been observed, which allows ab-initio molecular dynamics of much larger time and length scales than previously thought feasible. It will be demonstrated that the dynamics is correctly reproduced and that high accuracy can be maintained throughout for systems ranging from insulators to semiconductors and even to metals in condensed phases. This development considerably extends the scope of ab-initio simulations.

description: Optical transient surveys have led to the discovery of dozens of stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) by massive black hole in the centers of galaxies. Despite extensive searches, X-ray follow-up observations have produced no or only weak X-ray detections in most of them. Here we report the discovery of delayed X-ray brightening around 140 days after the optical outburst in the TDE OGLE16aaa, followed by several flux dips during the decay phase. These properties are unusual for standard TDEs and could be explained by the presence of supermassive black hole binary or patchy obscuration. In either scenario, the X-rays can be produced promptly after the disruption but are blocked in the early phase, possibly by a radiation-dominated ejecta which leads to the bulk of optical and ultraviolet emission. Our findings imply that the reprocessing is important in the TDE early evolution, and X-ray observations are promising in revealing supermassive black hole binaries.

The effect of nitrogen deprivation on stable isotope 15n fractionation and preference of ammonium, nitrate, and urea by marine dinoflagellates and a raphidophyte
Creators: name: Sugimoto, Kugako
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Nitrogen (N) preference and the uptake response of N-replete and N-starved dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae and Prorocentrum micans, and the chloromonad (Raphidophyte) Heterosigma carterae grown on NH₄+1, NO₃-, and urea were determined by N disappearance rates and uptake rates. N-replete cells preferentially took up NH₄+ in the presence of three N forms. Urea was the second preference. NO₃- was taken up last. N-replete Heterosigma carterae exhibited a strong preference for NH₄+ uptake and its ratio of uptake preference of the three N sources relative to urea was 10 (NH₄+):0.1 (NO₃-):1 (urea). These ratios suggest a strong influence of NH₄+ on NO₃- uptake. However, the concentration of NO₃- decreased rapidly when only NO₃- and urea were present in a medium. This order of preference remained the same after N deprivation. However, N-deplete P. micans and A. carterae decreased their preference for NO3- relative to both NH₄+ and urea from 1.9 (NH₄+):0.6 (NO₃-):1 (urea) to 1.5:0.5:1 and from 6.9 (NH₄+):-0.2 (NO₃-):1 (urea) to 7.5:-1.1:1 respectively. On the other hand, N-deprived H. carterae increased its preference for NO₃- relative to both NH4+ and urea from 10 (NH₄+):0.1 (NO3-):1 (urea) to 7.5:0.2:1. The N uptake preference depended on the interactions of each N source. N-starved H. carterae in a batch culture grown on NH₄+ showed an immediate NH₄+ uptake after the re-addition of NH₄+ and ceased uptake for a short period and started to take up NH₄+ again. This NH₄+ uptake pattern existed, but was not evident in H. carterae grown on three N sources. Diel patterns of nitrate (NO₃-) uptake under a light:dark (14L:10D) cycle were investigated in a batch culture of H. carterae which is known as a diel vertical migrator. The concentration of NO₃- in the culture decreased mostly during light periods, and hardly decreased or even increased (i.e. efflux) during dark periods. NO₃--starved H. carterae showed NO₃- uptake during the dark period. NO₃--starved cells grown under a light:dark cycle exhibited a longer period of no uptake after the re-addition of NO₃- than when grown under continuous light. The impact of N deprivation on N isotope fractionation by marine phytoplankton grown on NH₄+, NO₃-, and urea, or only NO₃- was examined by using the predicted model of δ15N of particulate nitrogen (PN). The mechanism of isotope fractionation (ε) for P. micans, A. carterae, and H. carterae changed rapidly with N availability. The best fit ε(NH₄+) value for N-deprived A. carterae and H. carterae decreased from 20 and 24%o to 4 and < 4%o respectively following the re-supply of the three N sources while the ε(NH₄+) for P. micans increased from 12%o to 20%o. ε(NO₃-) for H. carterae grown on NO₃- also increased, probably due to the increased, efflux of dissolved organic N (DON) during the N deprivation.

description: We observed two relic radio sources, 0917+75 and 1401-33, with the XMM-Newton X-ray observatory. We did not detect any X-ray emission, thermal or non-thermal, in excess of the local background level from either target. This imposes new upper limits on the X-ray flux due to inverse Compton scattering of photons from the cosmic microwave background by relativistic electrons in the relic sources, and new lower limits on the magnetic field strength from the relative strength of the radio and X-ray emission. The combination of radio and X-ray observations provides a measure of the magnetic field independent of equipartition or minimum energy assumptions. Due to increasing sensitivity of radio observations, the known population of cluster relics has been growing; however, studies of non-thermal X-ray emission from relics remain scarce. Our study adds to the small sample of relics studied in X-rays. In both relics, our field strength lower limits are slightly larger than estimates of the equipartition magnetic field.

description: This report presents the seismic evaluation of the US41 Southbound bridge over the Ohio River connecting Evansville, Indiana and Henderson, Kentucky. The main bridge is a four-span cantilever through-truss type. The approach bridge has 9 spans on the Evansville, IN side and 20 spans on the Henderson, side. Although this bridge has not yet been subjected to a moderate or major earthquake, it is situated within the influence of the New Madrid and Wabash Valley Seismic Zones.  The seismic evaluation program consisted of field testing and seismic response analysis. The modal properties of the main bridge were determined through field testing, and were used to calibrate a three dimensional finite element model. The finite element model was then subjected to the acceleration time histories of the 50-year earthquake event. Stresses and displacements due to projected earthquakes are found to be very low. Analytical results indicate that the main bridge superstructure will survive the projected 50-year earthquake without any damage and no loss-of-span. However, all the supports on the piers of the main bridge require additional anchor bolts or seismic isolation bearings.  The Kentucky and Indiana approach spans are analyzed using the response spectrum method with simplified single-degree-of-freedom models. Ten out of twelve supports having fixed bearings on both the approach spans require additional anchor bolts or seismic isolation bearings. At three out of twenty-five supports having expansion bearings, the existing rocker bearings need to be replaced with elastomeric bearings or cable restrainers need to be provided to avoid loss-of-span.

description: Background: Candida onychia is one of the most common infections of the nail. Objective: The aim of this study is to record the candida onychia in S. Greece during 2004-2007 and to explore the factors that are involved in albicans or non-albicans infection of the nail. Methods: 1454 patients were diagnosed to suffer from nail infection caused by Candida. The diagnosis was accompliced by direct microscopy and culture of the nail speciments. Results: 81,6% of the patients were females. Finger nails were more commonly (69,46%) infected than toe nails (30,54%). The two most common isolated Candida species were C. albicans (43,9%) and C. parapsilosis (25,7%). The 60-79 years old age group had the higher percentage of Candida infection. The factors that were found to affect the presentation of albicans or non-albicans infection of the nail were sex, finger or toe infection and age. Conclusions: According to the results of this study the epidemiological features of patients with candida onychia in N. Greece are in accordance with these of the rest European countries. Furthermore a a progressive increase of C parapsilosis is recorded.

description: Titanium alloys are difficult to machine. In order to improve their machinability, the chip formation process of the a-b alloy TiGAl4V has benn studied in detail by in-situ observation of high-speed alting experiments, metallographic analyses of chips including TEM, and FES of the cutting process. From the results of these investigations, promising alloy modifications have been developed. In the research activities within this project, parameters for the industrial production of the new alloys are investigated, namely, the deformation parameters as well as the mechanical, physical and chemical properties and their dependence on the lanthanum content. Additionally, it has to be clarified if nano particles exist in the titanium matrix due to the different thermo-mechanical treatments.

description: Biochemical signatures that provide information on both the taxonomy of an unknown threat agent and the conditions used to cultivate it in the laboratory have considerable implications for microbial forensics and biodefense. The goal of this study was to examine extracellular lipid variation across different species and/or strains of Bacillus spore as well as different growth conditions. This variation may be used to construct forensic attribution signatures based on these profiles. Two different strains of Bacillus cereus and one strain of Bacillus anthracis were cultured with three medium formulations, each containing a different source of complex carbon/nitrogen compounds. Lipid composition from each spore sample was analyzed with DART-MS and Gas Chromatography (GC). DART-MS results showed that spore surfaces contained complex assemblages of both fatty acids and hydrophobic amino acids. The relative ratios of fatty acid structures were indicative of both the species/strain and the culturing medium recipe. All three Bacillus strains could be easily differentiated using multivariate visualization techniques, and each strain showed diagnostic changes in individual fatty acid biomarkers. These results suggest that lipid signatures may be a useful tool for forensic and biodefense agencies to characterize the taxonomy of unidentified pathogens and determine other forensically relevant aspects of their cultivation.

description: We survey the Kolmogorov's approach to the notion of randomness through the Kolmogorov complexity theory. The original motivation of Kolmogorov was to give up a quantitative definition of information. In this theory, an object is randomness in the sense that it has a large information content. Afterwards, we present parts of the work of Martin-Lof, Schnorr, Chaitin and Levin which supply a mathematical notion of randomness throughout diverse theories from the the 60' up to recently.
