description: We investigate statistical equilibrium of neutral and singly-ionized strontium in late-type stellar atmospheres. Particular attention is given to the completeness of the model atom, which includes new energy levels, transition probabilities, photoionization and electron-impact excitation cross-sections computed with the R-matrix method. The NLTE model is applied to the analysis of Sr I and Sr II lines in the spectra of the Sun, Procyon, Arcturus, and HD 122563, showing a significant improvement in the ionization balance compared to LTE line formation calculations, which predict abundance discrepancies of up to 0.5 dex. The solar Sr abundance is log A = 2.93 \pm 0.04 dex, in agreement with the meteorites. A grid of NLTE abundance corrections for Sr I and Sr II lines covering a large range of stellar parameters is presented.

description: The Web has become an important source for information, which are created by independent providers. Web portals provide an unified point of access to content, data, services and web applications located throughout the enterprise. However, Web users have often only an insufficient available amount of time, to effectively use the available information resources. This thesis proposes a mashup framework that automatically mashes-up web portal content with related background information. The background information are derived from information web services that are composed by an evolutionary algorithm.

description: Context. The Kepler object KIC 12557548 b is peculiar. It exhibits transit-like features every 15.7 hours that vary in depth between 0.2% and 1.2%. Rappaport et al. (2012) explain the observations in terms of a disintegrating, rocky planet that has a trailing cloud of dust created and constantly replenished by thermal surface erosion. The variability of the transit depth is then a consequence of changes in the cloud optical depth. Aims. We aim to validate the disintegrating-planet scenario by modeling the detailed shape of the observed light curve, and thereby constrain the cloud particle properties to better understand the nature of this intriguing object. Methods. We analysed the six publicly-available quarters of raw Kepler data, phase-folded the light curve and fitted it to a model for the trailing dust cloud. Constraints on the particle properties were investigated with a light-scattering code. Results. The light curve exhibits clear signatures of light scattering and absorption by dust, including a brightening in flux just before ingress correlated with the transit depth and explained by forward scattering, and an asymmetry in the transit light curve shape, which is easily reproduced by an exponentially decaying distribution of optically thin dust, with a typical grain size of 0.1 micron. Conclusions. Our quantitative analysis supports the hypothesis that the transit signal of KIC 12557548 b is due to a variable cloud of dust, most likely originating from a disintegrating object.

description: We study the growth of cosmic structure under the assumption that dark matter self-annihilates with an averaged cross section times relative velocity that grows with the scale factor, an increase known as Sommerfeld-enhancement. Such an evolution is expected in models in which a light force carrier in the dark sector enhances the annihilation cross section of dark matter particles, and has been invoked, for instance, to explain anomalies in cosmic ray spectra reported in the past. In order to make our results as general as possible, we assume that dark matter annihilates into a relativistic species that only interacts gravitationally with the standard model. This assumption also allows us to test whether the additional relativistic species mildly favored by cosmic-microwave background data could originate from dark matter annihilation. We do not find evidence for Sommerfeld-enhanced dark matter annihilation and derive the corresponding upper limits on the annihilation cross-section.

It is based on using localized Foster-Boys orbitals as one-electron basis. We apply this scheme to three paradigmatic systems, the antiferromagnetic rings Cr8 and Cr7Ni and the single molecule magnet Fe4. In all cases we identify the essential magnetic interactions and find excellent agreement with experiments.

description: In this paper, we consider an unusual connection between different fluids. Having established a research goal we would like to consider a toy model of the Universe and investigate its behavior, especially for later time evolution for well known facts. The main goal of the article is to consider a toy model of the Universe with generalized ghost dark energy, Van der Waals gas and a phenomenologically modified fluid. The origin of the last component can be understood as a result of interaction between some original fluid and some source of energy or matter in Universe. By unusual connection we mean an assumption that generalized ghost dark energy has its contribution to the model by an interaction term $Q$ and we suppose an interaction of the form $Q=3Hb(ρ_{\small{tot}}-ρ_{GDe})$. Graphical analysis is performed and the questions of validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics and stability of the model also approached in this paper.

Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Sensitization of mesoporous titania films with dopamine and polydopamine for visible light photoelectrochemical activity is investigated. Sensitization effectiveness is compared with 8 mM dopamine solutions of varying pH (acidic, basic, and neutral), as well as with a basic polydopamine solution. Vibrational changes due to dopamine attachment are determined from detached powders by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is used to quantify organics attached. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of intact films probes the chemically induced charge shift from dopamine attachment. Cyclic voltammetry identifies the irreversible dopamine oxidation and tin reduction voltages. Finally, chronoamperometric curves are used to compare the photoelectrochemical water splitting performance of samples sensitized in different environments. FTIR results indicate mainly bidentate attachment of dopamine to titania, with minor monodentate attachment. XPS and TGA indicate quick saturation of the surface during sensitization, most notably for polydopamine, and XPS indicates a range of charge shifts from 2.28 eV to 2.83 eV for oxygen and titanium binding energies. Dopamine sensitization in DI water for 15 minutes gave optimal water oxidation, enhanced by 80 times (under 455 nm light and 0.4 V) compared to pure titania films. Preliminary photocatalytic water reduction using dopamine-sensitized titania films are investigated.

description: Twisted structures of chiral cubic ferromagnetics MnSi and Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ can be described both in the frame of the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory and using the microscopical Heisenberg formalism with a chirality brought in by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction. Recent progress in quantum first-principal methods allows to calculate interatomic bond parameters of the Heisenberg model, namely, isotropic exchange constants $J_{ij}$ and DM vectors $\mathbf{D}_{ij}$, which can be used for simulations of observed magnetic textures and comparison of their calculated characteristics, such as magnetic helix sense and pitch, with the experimental data. In the present work, it is found that unaveraged microscopical details of the spin structures (the local canting) have a strong impact on the global twist and can notably change the helix propagation number. Coefficients ${\cal J}$ and ${\cal D}$ of the phenomenological theory and helix propagation number $k={\cal D}/2{\cal J}$ are derived from interatomic parameters $J_{ij}$ and $\mathbf{D}_{ij}$ of individual bonds for MnSi and Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ crystals and similar cubic magnetics with almost collinear spins.

description: Energy-angular distributions of electron-positron pair creation in collisions of a laser beam and a nonlaser photon are calculated using the $S$-matrix formalism. The laser field is modeled as a finite pulse, similar to the formulation introduced in our recent paper in the context of Compton scattering [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 85}, 062102 (2012)]. The nonperturbative regime of pair creation is considered here. The energy spectra of created particles are compared with the corresponding spectra obtained using the modulated plane wave approximation for the driving laser field. A very good agreement in these two cases is observed, provided that the laser pulse is sufficiently long. For short pulse durations, this agreement breaks down. The sensitivity of pair production to the polarization of a driving pulse is also investigated. We show that in the nonperturbative regime, the pair creation yields depend on the polarization of the pulse, reaching their maximal values for the linear polarization. Therefore, we focus on this case. Specifically, we analyze the dependence of pair creation on the relative configuration of linear polarizations of the laser pulse and the nonlaser photon. Lastly, we investigate the carrier-envelope phase effect on angular distributions of created particles, suggesting the possibility of phase control in relation to the pair creation processes.

description: Saturn's rings consist of a huge number of water ice particles, with a tiny addition of rocky material. They form a flat disk, as the result of an interplay of angular momentum conservation and the steady loss of energy in dissipative inter-particle collisions. For particles in the size range from a few centimeters to a few meters, a power-law distribution of radii, $\sim r^{-q}$ with $q \approx 3$, has been inferred; for larger sizes, the distribution has a steep cutoff. It has been suggested that this size distribution may arise from a balance between aggregation and fragmentation of ring particles, yet neither the power-law dependence nor the upper size cutoff have been established on theoretical grounds. Here we propose a model for the particle size distribution that quantitatively explains the observations. In accordance with data, our model predicts the exponent $q$ to be constrained to the interval $2.75 \le q \le 3.5$. Also an exponential cutoff for larger particle sizes establishes naturally with the cutoff-radius being set by the relative frequency of aggregating and disruptive collisions. This cutoff is much smaller than the typical scale of micro-structures seen in Saturn's rings.

description: With 48 million Americans currently struggling with hunger, addressing food insecurity in U.S. communities remains a persistent issue in need of a remedy. Conversely, food waste is the single largest material deposited in American landfills, with an estimated 70 billion pounds wasted annually. The recovery of this food waste, or "food rescue" in food banking jargon, offers an ideal solution to fight hunger in our communities. With Three Square Food Bank (Three Square) consistently seeking to increase food rescue and distribution in its efforts to eliminate hunger, the need to ensure operational effectiveness and efficiency through programmatic change and improvement is a constant driving force within the organization. This report provides an examination and evaluation of Three Square's Food Rescue program in Southern Nevada.

description: In earlier work we presented a foundation for the Second Law of Classical Thermodynamics in terms of the Entropy Principle. More precisely, we provided an empirically accessible axiomatic derivation of an entropy function defined on all equilibrium states of all systems that has the appropriate additivity and scaling properties and whose increase is a necessary and sufficient condition for an adiabatic process between two states to be possible. Here, after a brief review of this approach, we address the question of defining entropy for non-equilibrium states. Our conclusion is that it is generally not possible to find a unique entropy that has all relevant physical properties. We do show, however, that one can define two entropy functions, called $S_-$ and $S_+$, which, taken together, characterize the range of adiabatic processes that can occur between non-equilibrium states. The concept of {\it comparability} of states with respect to adiabatic changes plays an important role in our reasoning.

We point out in what situations the composite models could improve (or worsen) the fit to the data and compare with similar trends in the MSSM.

description: By combining large-scale mosaics of ROSAT PSPC, XMM-Newton, and Suzaku X-ray observations, we present evidence for large-scale motions in the intracluster medium of the nearby, X-ray bright Perseus Cluster. These motions are suggested by several alternating and interleaved X-ray bright, low-temperature, low-entropy arcs located along the east-west axis, at radii ranging from ~10 kpc to over a Mpc. Thermodynamic features qualitatively similar to these have previously been observed in the centers of cool core clusters, and were successfully modeled as a consequence of the gas sloshing/swirling motions induced by minor mergers. Our observations indicate that such sloshing/swirling can extend out to larger radii than previously thought, on scales approaching the virial radius.

description: Wide, deep photometric surveys require robust photometric redshift estimates (photo-z's) for studies of large-scale structure. These estimates depend critically on accurate photometry. We describe the improvements to the photometric calibration and the photo-z estimates in the Deep Lens Survey (DLS) from correcting three of the inputs to the photo-z calculation: the system response as a function of wavelength, the spectral energy distribution templates, and template prior probabilities as a function of magnitude. We model the system response with a physical model of the MOSAIC camera's CCD, which corrects a 0.1 magnitude discrepancy in the colours of type M2 and later stars relative to the SDSS z-band photometry. We provide our estimated z-band response function for the use of other surveys that used MOSAIC before its recent detector upgrade. The improved throughput curve, template set, and Bayesian prior lead to a 20 per cent reduction in photo-z scatter and a reduction of the bias by a factor of more than two. This paper serves as both a photo-z data release description for DLS and a guide for testing the quality of photometry and resulting photo-z's generally.

description: Recently, the rock mechanical and rock engineering designs and calculations are frequently based on Geological Strength Index (GSI) method, because it is the only system that provides a complete set of mechanical properties for design purpose. Both the failure criteria and the deformation moduli of the rock mass can be calculated with GSI based equations, which consists of the disturbance factor, as well. The aim of this paper is the sensitivity analysis of GSI and disturbance factor dependent equations that characterize the mechanical properties of rock masses. The survey of the GSI system is not our purpose. The results show that the rock mass strength calculated by the Hoek-Brown failure criteria and both the Hoek-Diederichs and modified Hoek-Diederichs deformation moduli are highly sensitive to changes of both the GSI and the D factor, hence their exact determination is important for the rock engineering design.

description: Podogymnura aureospinula Heaney and Morgan, 1982. Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 95:14. TYPE LOCALITY: "Plaridel, Albor Municipality, Dinagat Island, Surigao del Norte Province," Philippines. DISTRIBUTION: Dinagat Island, Philippines. COMMENTS: Heaney and Morgan (1982) suggested "golden-spined gymnure" as an English name, but Poduschka and Poduschka (1985) argued that the stiff dorsal hairs are not always spiny and golden, and Corbet and Hill (1991: 27) suggested "spiny moonrat" as a common name. Heaney and Morgan (1982) considered that generic rank might be justified for this species but decided to include it in Podogymnura in order to emphasize the close relationship between the two species of Philippine gymnures; see also Corbet (1988:130-131).

title: Transparency in mineral extraction: the commodity story, the Dodd-Frank, and the emergence of 'conflict-free'
Creators: name: Cunningham, Lacey Michelle
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2014

description:
The U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 includes two sections impacting the nonfuel minerals industries: the first targets 'conflict minerals,' and the second is centered on extractive industry transparency. Seeking to explain the importance of extractive industries in the creation of the modern context, my thesis begins with the commodity story of digital technology. In an era characterized by an increased curiosity into the origin of things, my work focuses on the resource geographies of minerals under neoliberalism to explain the reasons bringing extractive industry transparency onto the global agenda. After situating the issue within the global historical context and exploring the environmental and social injustices associated with mineral extraction, the importance of transparency initiatives is clear. The conflict minerals law is designed to sever the link between armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the trade of minerals necessary in digital technology. In doing so, measures included in the law will help inform consumers whether or not producers of digital technology are sourcing minerals from belligerents in central Africa. The very process this U.S. legislation seeks to disentangle is the global commodity chain created by the expansion of neoliberal capitalism. My research illuminates the challenges in the first attempt to systematically certify metallic minerals as well as the political mechanisms currently underway to increase transparency in nonfuel mineral extraction and production.

description: Neste capítulo, descrever-se-á o processo de conceção, implementação e avaliação de uma atividade didática com o uso de sensores, centrada no papel das plantas na qualidade do ar interior, na Unidade Curricular “Mundo Vivo” da Licenciatura de Educação Básica. A utilização do sensor de dióxido de carbono possibilitou a monitorização, pelas/os alunas/os, da concentração de dióxido de carbono no ar, em diferentes contextos, nomeadamente experimentais. Esta monitorização facilitou o estudo de fontes e sumidouros de dióxido de carbono no ar, com especial ênfase na ocupação humana e na presença de plantas, em condições experimentais com e sem luz. Apresentar-se-á o processo iterativo de conceção da atividade e os seus resultados, nomeadamente no que se refere aos procedimentos necessários ao controle de variáveis, como, por exemplo, o tipo de plantas a usar e os procedimentos de recolha de amostra de ar e de manutenção da posição do sensor ao longo da experiência. Seguidamente serão explicitados os objetivos, conteúdos, tarefas e recursos da atividade. Uma análise de conteúdo aos relatórios elaborados pelas/os alunas/os permite uma avaliação em termos das aprendizagens das/os alunas/os e da pertinência da atividade com base na reflexão didática também presente no referido relatório. Enfatiza-se a avaliação das potencialidades da atividade, nomeadamente do uso do sensor de dióxido de carbono, para uma intervenção em saúde ambiental, especificamente ao nível da gestão da presença de plantas para melhoria da qualidade do ar interior.

description: In previous work, we defined extended versions of von Neumann dimension for Banach space representations of sofic groups. The main application was a definition of l^{p}-dimension and, using this, a proof that the actions of a countable discrete group G on l^{p}(G)^{oplus n} are pairwise non-isomorphic. We answer most of the Conjectures stated at the end of the previous paper "An l^{p}-Version of von Neumann Dimension for Banach Space Representation of Sofic Groups." Tackling the case of finte-dimensional representations involved passing to equivalence relations. This is part of current research to be explained in the paper "An l^{p}-Version of von Neumann Dimension for Representations of Equivalence Relations."

Hands, and Numbers, and Dots Oh My! Examining the Effect of Nearby-hands on Counting and Subitizing
Creators: name: Allred, Gabriel
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2016

description: The "nearby-hand" effect (Tseng, Bridgeman, & Juan 2012), an alteration of performance caused by the presence of our hands in the visuospatial area, has been found in learning, attention, and working memory tasks (Brockmole, Davoli, Abrams, & Witt, 2013a). However, no work to date has been published demonstrating a relationship between the nearby-hand effect and judgments of magnitude, including subitizing and counting. It is suggested by Tseng, Bridgeman, and Juan (2012) that nearby-hands affect attentional disengagement, yet little experimental evidence is available to support this notion. Given the serialized nature of counting, which requires attentional disengagement from item to item being counted, the following experiments extend the nearby-hand research using a counting task and further explain the relationship between attentional disengagement and nearby-hands. The results of this study demonstrated an effect of nearby-hands on subitizing (i.e. enumerating quantities of 1 to 3), further contributing to the canon of existing literature examining the attentional requirements of subitizing in an ecologically valid manner not previously implemented in other tasks to this end (Egeth, Leonard, & Palomares, 2008; Poiese, Spalek, & Di Lollo, 2008). Lastly, relationships have been found in developmental studies linking math ability and attention (Anobile, Stievano, & Burr, 2013; Steele, Karmiloff-Smith, Cornish, & Scerif, 2012), however little work has examined the trajectory of this into adulthood. The following selection of tasks further demonstrates that this relationship still persists into adulthood, despite the causal connection between these two constructs still being up for debate.
Sulfate Resistance of Nanosilica Contained Portland Cement Mortars

description: Soils, sea water and ground water high in sulfates are commonly encountered hostile environments that can attack the structure of concrete via chemical and physical mechanisms which can lead to costly repairs or replacement. Sulfate attack is a slow acting deteriorative phenomenon that can result in cracking, spalling, expansion, increased permeability, paste-to-aggregate bond loss, paste softening, strength loss, and ultimately, progressive failure of concrete. In the presented research study, Portland cement (PC) mortars containing 1.5% to 6.0% nanosilica (nS) cement replacement by weight were tested for sulfate resistance through full submersion in sodium sulfate to simulate external sulfate attack. Mortars with comparable levels of cement replacement were also prepared with microsilica (mS). Three cement types were chosen to explore nS' effectiveness to reduce sulfate expansion, when paired with cements of varying tricalcium aluminate (C3A) content and Blaine fineness, and compare it to that of mS. Mortars were also made with combined cement replacement of equal parts nS and mS to identify if they were mutually compatible and beneficial towards sulfate resistance. Besides sulfate attack expansion of mortar bars, the testing program included investigations into transport and microstructure properties via water absorption, sulfate ion permeability, porosimetry, SEM with EDS, laser diffraction, compressive strength, and heat of hydration. Expansion measurements indicated that mS replacement mortars outperformed both powder form nS, and nS/mS combined replacement mixtures. A negative effect of the dry nS powder replacement attributed to agglomeration of its nanoparticles during mixing negated the expected superior filler, paste densification, and pozzolanic activity of the nanomaterial. Agglomerated nS was identified as the root cause behind poor performance of nS in comparison to mS for all cement types, and the control when paired with a low C3A sulfate resistant cement.
Testing the effects of mixing methodology and nS dispersion (mechanical blending vs. ultrasonic dispersion vs. aqueous solution) on sulfate resistance became a separate focus of the study. Use of the aqueous form of nS resulted in a more sulfate resistant and impermeable mortar than all other tested methods of mixing and dispersing dry form nS. At 6% replacement, aqueous nS contained mortars were more resistant to expansion than those with mS. Excessive ultrasonic dispersion of dry nS in the mixing water was shown to likely cause further agglomeration that harmed permeability and sulfate resistance.
Overall, nS proved effective at improving sulfate resistance of mortars provided good dispersion could be achieved, otherwise mS remained the more effective, reliable, and economic choice. Parts of this study, a testing phase exploring the effectiveness of aqueous form nS on mortar resistance to physical sulfate attack via partial submersion, is still ongoing.
