description: As the distributed energy generation and storage technologies are becoming economically viable, energy trading is gradually becoming a profit making option for end-users. This trend is further supported by the regulators and the policy makers as it aids the efficiency of power grid operations, reduces power generation cost and the Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. To that end, in this paper we provide an overview of distributed energy trading concepts in smart grid. First, we identify the motivation and the desired outcomes of energy trading framework. Then we present the enabling technologies that are required to generate, store, and communicate with the trading agencies. Finally, we survey on the existing literature and present an array of mathematical frameworks employed.

description: A nanopore-based device provides single-molecule detection and analytical capabilities that are achieved by electrophoretically driving molecules in solution through a nano-scale pore. The nanopore provides a highly confined space within which single nucleic acid polymers can be analyzed at high throughput by one of a variety of means, and the perfect processivity that can be enforced in a narrow pore ensures that the native order of the nucleobases in a polynucleotide is reflected in the sequence of signals that is detected. Kilobase length polymers (single-stranded genomic DNA or RNA) or small molecules (e.g., nucleosides) can be identified and characterized without amplification or labeling, a unique analytical capability that makes inexpensive, rapid DNA sequencing a possibility. Further research and development to overcome current challenges to nanopore identification of each successive nucleotide in a DNA strand offers the prospect of `third generation' instruments that will sequence a diploid mammalian genome for ~$1,000 in ~24 h.

MDFRC item.

A novel sulfate-reducing bacterium, strain Mb1Pa(T), was isolated from the sediments of a freshwater floodplain lake. Cells of strain Mb1Pa(T) were rod-shaped, 1-1.3 mum wide and 2.6-3 mum long, motile and Gram-negative. The bacterium grew on straight-chain carboxylic acids with 4-17 carbon atoms. Electron donors with an even number of carbon atoms were oxidized to acetate and electron donors with an odd number of carbon atoms were oxidized to acetate and propionate. No other compounds were found to be used as electron donors. No growth occurred in the absence of sulfate. The optimum temperature for growth was between 25 and 30 degreesC and the maximum temperature for growth was 32 degreesC. Strain Mb1Pa(T) grew very slowly in medium with 5 g NaCl l(-1) with optimum growth occurring with up to 1.0 g NaCl l(-1). Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene showed that strain Mb1Pa(T) belonged to the delta -subclass of the Proteobacteria, was a member of the family Desulfobacteraceae, but lacked similarity with any currently described representatives. The combined phylogenetic analysis and physiological data indicate that strain Mb1Pa(T) represents a new genus and the name Desulforegula conservatrix is proposed. The type strain is Mb1Pa(T) (= DSM 13527(T) = ATCC BAA-134(T)).

description: Verification of candidate biomarkers relies upon specific, quantitative assays optimized for selective detection of target proteins, and is increasingly viewed as a critical step in the discovery pipeline that bridges unbiased biomarker discovery to preclinical validation. Although individual laboratories have demonstrated that multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) coupled with isotope dilution mass spectrometry can quantify candidate protein biomarkers in plasma, reproducibility and transferability of these assays between laboratories have not been demonstrated. We describe a multilaboratory study to assess reproducibility, recovery, linear dynamic range and limits of detection and quantification of multiplexed, MRM-based assays, conducted by NCI-CPTAC. Using common materials and standardized protocols, we demonstrate that these assays can be highly reproducible within and across laboratories and instrument platforms, and are sensitive to low µg/ml protein concentrations in unfractionated plasma. We provide data and benchmarks against which individual laboratories can compare their performance and evaluate new technologies for biomarker verification in plasma.

description: Increases in the sizes of container ships due to the expansion of the Panama Canal has increased the need for dredging activities in the Chesapeake Bay. Placement of dredged material in the Bay is restricted to winter months owing to concerns for threatened and endangered species. Placement of dredged material in the lower Chesapeake Bay in Wolf Trap Alternate Open Water Placement Site (WTAPS) overlaps with overwintering locations for mature female blue crab. To estimate the potential magnitude of winter mortality in WTAPS and WTAPS Northern Extension (WTAPSNE) resulting from placement of dredged material, a range of geostatistical tools (e.g., inverse distance weighting and kriging) were used to map the distribution and estimate the abundance of blue crab in Chesapeake Bay, WTAPS, and WTAPSNE (i.e., small-scale estimation) from 1990–2020 using data from the winter dredge survey. These analyses indicated that a low proportion of the age-1+ female blue crab population occurs within WTAPS and WTAPSNE (<1.18% and <1.5% respectively). Variability of abundance estimates was high when female age-1+ abundance was less than 150 million in the Chesapeake Bay. Therefore, we suggest the Port limit placement of dredged materials in WTAPS and WTAPSNE when female age-1+ abundance is less than 150 million; we recommend the Port not undertake placement activities when the stock is declared overfished (i.e., when female age-1+ abundance is less than 72.5 million).

description: Studies of cellular and tissue dynamics benefit greatly from tools that can control protein activity with specificity and precise timing in living systems. We describe here a new approach to confer allosteric regulation specifically on the catalytic activity of kinases. A highly conserved portion of the kinase catalytic domain is modified with a small protein insert that inactivates catalytic activity, but does not affect other protein interactions. Catalytic activity is restored by addition of rapamycin or non-immunosuppresive analogs (Fig. 1A). We demonstrate the approach by specifically activating focal adhesion kinase (FAK) within minutes in living cells, thereby demonstrating a novel role for FAK in regulation of membrane dynamics. Molecular modeling and mutagenesis indicate that the protein insert reduces activity by increasing the flexibility of the catalytic domain. Drug binding restores activity by increasing rigidity. Successful regulation of Src and p38 suggest that modification of this highly conserved site will be applicable to other kinases.

description: The recent claim by BICEP2 of evidence for primordial gravitational waves from inflation has focused interest on the potential for early-Universe cosmology using observations of gravitational waves. In addition to cosmic microwave background detectors, efforts are underway to carry out gravitational-wave astronomy over a wide range of frequencies including pulsar timing arrays (nHz), space-based detectors (mHz), and terrestrial detectors ($\sim$10-2000 Hz). This multiband effort will probe a wide range of times in the early Universe (each corresponding to a different energy scale), during which gravitational-wave backgrounds may have been produced through processes such as phase transitions or preheating. In this letter, we derive a rule of thumb (not quite so strong as an upper limit) governing the maximum energy density of cosmological backgrounds. For most cosmological scenarios, we expect the energy density spectrum to peak at values of $Ω_\text{gw}(f)\lesssim10^{-12\pm2}$. We discuss the applicability of this rule of thumb and the implications for gravitational-wave astronomy.

High Resolution Time-Limiter Schemes for Conservation Laws
Creators: name: Lu, Jingcheng
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Aerospace engineering

description: This study investigates the high resolution time-limiter schemes for conservation laws. These schemes are proposed (K.Duraisamy, J.D.Baeder, J-G Liu, 2003) to enhance the stability of high order implicit time marching when the time step is beyond the original TVD limit. The improved stability is realized by taking local convex combination of a higher order oscillatory method (accurate mode) with a first order unconditionally TVD method (stable mode). The application of time-limiters, which detects the local smoothness, enables the self-adjusting switch between different modes. One of the main aspects of this work is employing time-limiters to improve the stability of the strongly S-stable DIRK3 scheme, which is shown to be non-SSP and thus may generate strong oscillations in non-smooth problems. The new Limited-DIRK3 scheme (L-DIRK3) is proposed. For convenience of applications to systems of equations, we also propose a new and convenient construction of time-limiter, which allows an arbitrary choice of reference quantity with minimal computation cost. Another innovation of our work is the extension of time-limiter schemes to multi-dimensional problems and convection-diffusion problems. The numerical results for one- and two-dimensional problems confirm that the L-DIRK3 scheme generate high resolution and less oscillatory solutions under large time step. Particularly, the L-DIRK3 scheme shows a clear improvement against the original DIRK3 in convection-diffusion problems when a large CFL number is taken.
IMPROVING THE FIDELITY OF AGENT-BASED ACTIVE SHOOTER SIMULATIONS THROUGH MODELING BLOOD LOSS AND INJURY MANAGEMENT
Creators: name: Tzvetanov, Krassimir
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2022
Subjects: Applied computing not elsewhere classified

description: Simulation modeling has proven beneficial in gathering insights that may aid safety policy considerations for schools, offices, and outdoor events. This is especially true when conducting a drill that is not practical or possible, such as active shooter response. However, we can improve the current modeling practices with high-fidelity simulation logic reflecting a victim's well-being. Currently, victims are modeled either as “killed,” or they continue their normal movement. The binary approach is suitable for many simulations developed to understand course trends in an event space but does not allow for more fine-tuned insights that may be beneficial when developing a safety and response protocol for a specific facility or event. Additional victim characteristics, such as tracking the location of a victim's wound and the rate of physiological decline, may be added into a model that will improve the realism and lead to an improved response protocol. The increased fidelity will be helpful when simulating and assessing the effects of volunteer response, critical care transport for medical intervention, and other first-responder interventions. While some think it is not possible or necessary to simulate how fast gunshot victims would lose blood, we show that a high-fidelity simulation is possible. The main counterargument is that there is no sufficient data, and also it will be challenging to implement this process as it is occurring. However, we found enough data or were able to extrapolate the missing pieces and develop a consistent and realistic blood loss model. In addition, the state of current simulation packages, such as AnyLogic, has advanced to the point where we can model a liquid system dynamic within an agent-based model. Furthermore, there is an acute benefit to conducting this type of research as it can help us develop better response policies, which result in more saved lives. The research aims to improve emergency-response simulation fidelity by developing a model that simulates gunshot wounds and the subsequent blood loss while accounting for a victim's age, weight, gender, and the affected area. The model also accounts for the body's compensatory response and medical interventions, such as tourniquet application, wound packing, and direct pressure. The work presents an analytical model and its implementation using agent-based modeling in AnyLogic. This AnyLogic module can be inserted into active shooter simulations that easily integrate with the existing logic. This integration happens through a high-level application programming interface (API) exposed to the user. The API allows for automatic infliction of injury and mitigation. The extensive literature review and case studies provide a sound foundation for creating the model. AnyLogic was chosen due to its common usage and versatility with other systems and computer programming languages.

description: The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal would not exist without the labor of thousands of Irish immigrants in the 19th century. Through a framework of labor history, critical archaeology, and public history this study sought to improve interpretation of these canal workers. Archaeological and visitation data were analyzed to form recommendations for improvements to the parks interpretive materials on this subject. Labor history may have begun with the intent to balance historical narratives which had previously focused on powerful individuals. But continuing the trend of narrating specific groups experiences within history limits the perspective on these groups and perpetuates the issue of narrow, marginalizing, perspectives on complex history. The archaeological record from the C&O Canal construction can fulfill the parks interpretive mission through critical archaeology and labor theory. The interpretive potential of the archaeological findings, combined with the knowledge of visitation trends, form an exciting opportunity to build upon an evolving interpretive art which began with Freeman Tilden.

description: We present here the results on superconducting properties in tantalum thin films (100nm thick) deposited on three-dimensional graphene (3DG) and carbon structures. A superconducting transition is observed in both composite thin films with a superconducting transition temperature of 1.2K and 1.0K, respectively. We have further measured the magnetoresistance at various temperatures and differential resistance dV/dI at different magnetic fields in these two composite thin films. In both samples, a much large critical magnetic field (~ 2 Tesla) is observed and this critical magnetic field shows linear temperature dependence. Finally, an anomalously large cooling effect was observed in the differential resistance measurements in our 3DG-tantalum device when the sample turns superconducting. Our results may have important implications in flexible superconducting electronic device applications.

description: Reengineering the receptor footprints of adeno-associated virus (AAV) isolates may yield variants with improved properties for clinical applications. We generated a panel of synthetic AAV2 vectors by replacing a hexapeptide sequence in a previously identified heparan sulfate receptor footprint with corresponding residues from other AAV strains. This approach yielded several chimeric capsids displaying systemic tropism after intravenous administration in mice. Of particular interest, an AAV2/AAV8 chimera designated AAV2i8 displayed an altered antigenic profile, readily traversed the blood vasculature, and selectively transduced cardiac and whole-body skeletal muscle tissues with high efficiency. Unlike other AAV serotypes, which are preferentially sequestered in the liver, AAV2i8 showed markedly reduced hepatic tropism. These features of AAV2i8 suggest that it is well suited to translational studies in gene therapy of musculoskeletal disorders.

description: In addition to being bio-degradable, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) provide high mechanical strength to polymer composites. They exhibit outstanding properties like high strength-to-weight ratio, abundant surface functional groups and sustainability. In this study, we prepared nanocomposites of poly (ethylene-co-methyl acrylate) (EMA) and CNC using the melt-mixing technique. The mechanical properties of EMA were improved after adding CNC to it. The ultimate tensile stress and maximum elongation increased from 6 MPa and 860% (for pristine EMA) to 9.5 MPa and 1090% (for 2 wt.% EMA/CNC composite). Thermal properties of the EMA/CNC composites were analyzed by using DSC and TGA analysis. The dispersion of CNC in the composite was analyzed by SEM and XRD analyses. The EMA/CNC composites showed interesting birefringence properties on analysis via polarized optical microscopy (POM). The POM analysis indicated that the CNC in composites aligns themselves in the direction of applied stress, enhancing the mechanical strength of nanocomposites. Biodegradation of the bio-composite was also studied via soil-burial test.

The influence of the pump central wavelength, pulse duration, and fluence on THz generation is studied. We achieved a high peak efficiency of 0.12% using transform limited 150 fs pulses and observed saturation of the optical to THz conversion efficiency at a fluence of 15 mJ/cm2. We experimentally identify two main limitations for the scaling of optical-to-THz conversion efficiencies: (i) the large spectral broadening of the optical pump spectrum in combination with large angular dispersion of the tilted-pulse-front and (ii) free-carrier absorption of THz radiation due to multi-photon absorption of the 800 nm radiation.

description: Firefighters rely on their portable radios daily for communication. This project examines firefighter portable radios and their carrying methods. Carrying methods such as radio pockets sewn into turnout gear and radio straps are examined with respect to carrying utility, thermal protection, and decontamination ability. Information was gleaned from several firefighter line of duty death and “near miss” reports, personal interviews, empirical testing, computational fire modeling, and previous studies. Tests were conducted with radios carried in radio straps both above and below the turnout coat, as well as in the radio pocket. Radios were exposed to a radiant heat flux determined from computational fire modeling via a radiant panel until the test radio was either unable to transmit or receive messages from another radio. From this analysis, it is determined that wearing a portable radio in a radio strap under a turnout coat is the most efficient and safest way to carry a radio.

description: To prepare alanine containing amphiphilic block copolymers, herein, we have polymerized methyl methacrylate (MMA) by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and further used it as macro chain transfer agent (macroCTA) for the synthesis of PMMA-b-P(Boc-L-Ala-HEMA) (Boc-L-Ala-HEMA = tert-butyloxycarbonyl-L-alanine methacryloyloxyethyl ester) diblock copolymers. The molar masses of the macroCTA and all block copolymers as well as the dispersity (Ð) of those polymers were measured by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The Boc-group deprotection from the block copolymers was carried out in dichloromethane by using trifluoroacetic acid to produce amphiphilic PMMA-b-P(L-Ala-HEMA), and this successful deprotection was proved by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The micellar self-assembled nature of PMMA-b-P(L-Ala-HEMA) was confirmed using a variety of techniques, including dynamic light scattering (DLS), critical aggregation concentration (CAC) determination by fluorescence spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The hydrophobic pyrene-tagged estrone-based natural product (NP) was encapsulated in the micellar nanostructure, proven by fluorescence spectroscopy. This encapsulating power of the corresponding polymers makes them attractive candidates as drug delivery vehicles of natural products, as well as encapsulation and delivery of other hydrophobic drug/dye molecules.

description: Due to the increasing complexity of distributed systems, security testing is becoming increasingly critical in insuring reliability of such systems in relation to their security requirements. . To challenge this issue, we rely in this paper1 on model based active testing. In this paper we propose a framework to specify security policies and test their implementation. Our framework makes it possible to automatically generate test sequences, in order to validate the conformance of a security policy. This framework contains several new methods to ease the test case generation. To demonstrate the reliability of our framework, we present a Vehicular Networks System as an ongoing case study.

description: Sensing of lectins are utmost necessary for its inflammatory, digestive disorder, gut pains and toxicity to human beings and for this purpose we have chosen polythiophene (PT) for its exciting optoelectronic properties. Because of precise carbohydrate specificities of lectin and to make PT water soluble for sensing of lectin, we have synthesized polythiophene-g-poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) -co-poly(glucose-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PT-g-pDMAEMA-co-pGLU-HEM), [PTDG]) from polythiophene macroinitiator (PTI) by copolymerizing DMAEMA and GLU-HEM monomers mixture with CuCl/HMTETA catalyst/ligand followed by hydrolysis using alcoholic NaOMe solution. The Mn of PTI was 38000, polydispersity 2.5, head-tail (H-T) regioregularity 70 mol % and Mn of unhydrolyzed PTDG is 98,900. The UV-Vis spectra of PTDG solution shows two absorption peaks at 430 and 462 nm but it shows a sharp emission peak at 544 nm which quenches with increasing pH. Concanavalin A (ConA) shows an absorbance peak at 278 nm and with addition of PTDG solution absorbance intensity increases showing hypochromic effect. Benesi–Hildebrand plot of reciprocal molar extinction coefficients with concentration suggests 1:1 complex formation between PTDG and ConA. With addition of ConA fluorescence quenching of PTDG solution occurred and using the fluorescence intensity ratio vs concentration plot the limit of detection (LOD) of Con A lectin is found to be 57 µg/L and storing the polymer solution for two months exhibits good durability. The morphology of PTDG changes from vesicle to compound micellar aggregate on addition of Con A lectin. We have synthesized a polythiophene glcopolymer (PT-g-pDMAEMA-co-pGLU-HEM), PTDG) using ATRP technique and its UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra indicates pH responsivity and lectin sensing property with LOD of 57 µg/L.

description: In this paper we demonstrate the methodology for parallelizing the computation of large one-dimensional discrete fast Fourier transforms (DFFTs) on multi-core Intel Xeon processors. DFFTs based on the recursive Cooley-Tukey method have to control cache utilization, memory bandwidth and vector hardware usage, and at the same time scale across multiple threads or compute nodes. Our method builds on single-threaded Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) implementation of DFFT, and uses the Intel Cilk Plus framework for thread parallelism. We demonstrate the ability of Intel Cilk Plus to handle parallel recursion with nested loop-centric parallelism without tuning the code to the number of cores or cache metrics. The result of our work is a library called EFFT that performs 1D DFTs of size 2^N for N>=21 faster than the corresponding Intel MKL parallel DFT implementation by up to 1.5x, and faster than FFTW by up to 2.5x. The code of EFFT is available for free download under the GPLv3 license. This work provides a new efficient DFFT implementation, and at the same time demonstrates an educational example of how computer science problems with complex parallel patterns can be optimized for high performance using the Intel Cilk Plus framework.
