description: The ultimate aspiration of any detection method is to achieve such a level of sensitivity that individual quanta of a measured value can be resolved. In the case of chemical sensors, the quantum is one atom or molecule. Such resolution has so far been beyond the reach of any detection technique, including solid-state gas sensors hailed for their exceptional sensitivity. The fundamental reason limiting the resolution of such sensors is fluctuations due to thermal motion of charges and defects which lead to intrinsic noise exceeding the sought-after signal from individual molecules, usually by many orders of magnitude. Here we show that micrometre-size sensors made from graphene are capable of detecting individual events when a gas molecule attaches to or detaches from graphenes surface. The adsorbed molecules change the local carrier concentration in graphene one by one electron, which leads to step-like changes in resistance. The achieved sensitivity is due to the fact that graphene is an exceptionally low-noise material electronically, which makes it a promising candidate not only for chemical detectors but also for other applications where local probes sensitive to external charge, magnetic field or mechanical strain are required.

description: Trust is an important component of online transactions. The increasing amount and sophistication of spam, phishing, and other semantic attacks increase users' uncertainty about the consequences of their actions and their distrust towards other online parties. In this paper, we highlight some key characteristics of a model that we are developing to represent and compare the online trust decision processes of "expert" and "non-expert" computer users. We also report on preliminary data we are gathering to validate, refine, and apply our model. This research is part of a broader project that aims at developing tools and training modules to help online users make good trust decisions.

description: We propose a method to experimentally demonstrate contextuality with a family of tests for qudits. The experiment we propose uses a qudit encoded in the path of a single photon and its temporal degrees of freedom. We consider the impact of noise on the effectiveness of these tests, taking the approach of ontologically faithful non-contextuality. In this approach, imperfections in the experimental set up must be taken into account in any faithful ontological (classical) model, which limits how much the statistics can deviate within different contexts. In this way we bound the precision of the experimental setup under which ontologically faithful non-contextual models can be refuted. We further consider the noise tolerance through different types of decoherence models on different types of encodings of qudits. We quantify the effect of the decoherence on the required precision for the experimental setup in order to demonstrate contextuality in this broader sense.

description: We present systematic quantitative description of the magnetoconductance of the split-gate quantum wires. Accounting for the exchange and correlation interactions within the spin density function theory (DFT) leads to the lifting of the spin degeneracy and formation of the spin-resolved plateaus at odd values of $e^{2}/h$. We show that the width of the odd conductance steps in the spin DFT calculations is equal to the width of the transition intervals between the conductance steps for the spinless electrons in the Hartree approximation. A detailed analysis of the structure of compressible/incompressible strips and the evolution of the Hartree and the spin-DFT subband structure provides an explanation of this finding. Our spin-DFT calculations reproduce not only qualitatively, but rather quantitatively all the features in the magnetoconductance observed in the recent experiment (I. P. Radu, J. B. Miller, S. Amasha, E. Levenson-Falk, D. M. Zumbuhl, M. A. Kastner, C. M. Marcus, L. N. Pfeiffer, and K. W.

description: Kentucky's current procedure for estimating equivalent single axle loads (ESALs) was updated in 1990 to incorporate traffic data categorized by functional class rather than by statewide averages. This change resulted from the influx of data generated by automatic equipment used to classify and weigh vehicles in motion. A much wider range of geographic conditions and road conditions was sampled, and the expectation was that the data used in the estimation procedure would be more accurate as a result.  The 1990 revisions were quite extensive, and, although model calibrations using 1989 and 1990 data have proven useful, the Division of Planning has sought refinements which would improve the calibrations and make them more useful for specific needs. In addition, the continuing analysis of weight and classification data for coal trucks has identified potential improvements that could produce more representative data for these types of vehicles.  In response to these needs, a research study was proposed for FY 1992 with funds totaling $25,000 (Appendix A). Funding limitations delayed the study until FY 1993 and reduced the amount to $15,000. Although there was some decrease in scope, the study has been successful in 1) enhancing the accuracy of the calibration process; 2) improving the appearance, clarity, and utility of the output; and 3) potentially reducing year-to-year variations in the estimation of key quantities. In addition, a possible revision has been outlined which would eventually offer other benefits including a more definitive and accurate method for reflecting effects of coal movement.  The purpose of this report is to explain and document the progress that has been made toward improving the ESAL-estimation process and exploiting the wealth of data being generated by the new vehicle classification and weighing program.

description: This report documents the installation and performance of corrugated smooth lined polyethylene pipe installed during construction of KY 17 in Kenton County. The majority of the pipe installed was N-12 pipe manufactured by Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc., and is designated as ADS N-12. ADS N-12 is a corrugated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. The pipe has a corrugated exterior for increased strength and a smooth interior to provide maximum flow capacity.  Sags in grade, misalignment, poor coupling, and vertical deformation were observed during visual inspections and do not appear to be a material related problem but are largely due to poor construction techniques.  The pipes appear to be functioning satisfactorily even with sagging, misalignments, and vertical deformation. Pipes that have vertical deformation over 10 percent should be monitored for any additional movement.  This report makes recommendation on the usage of polyethylene pipe in Kentucky.

description: Dynamically different groups of comets and active asteroids with orbits at 2 - 5 a. u. show dust activity in varying degrees and forms. Photometric study and comparison of physical parameters can help to classify mechanisms and nature of the activity for such objects. We present new observations using broadband photometry of 15 active objects in the main asteroid belt and surrounding regions obtained during 2012 - 2016. The study aims to compare the physical properties of main-belt comets (MBCs), quasi-Hilda comets (QHCs), and active asteroids (AAs). The observations were carried out with the 0.7-m telescope of the Kyiv Comet Station, Ukraine, and with the 1.23-m telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory, Spain, using BVR broadband filters. Upper limits for the nuclear radii, Afrho parameters, and color indices were measured. The results of 2012 - 2016 observations suggest that there exist systematic differences in the physical parameters of MBCs and QHCs.

description: Ο όρος οδοντική φθορά υποδηλώνει την απώλεια σκληρών οδοντικών ιστών εξαιτίας διάβρωσης, αποτριβής κι εκτριβής. Πρόκειται για ένα πρόβλημα που συνεχώς αυξάνει καθώς όλο και περισσότεροι άνθρωποι διατηρούν τη φυσική τους οδοντοφυία σε μεγάλη ηλικία. Η οδοντική φθορά είναι μη αναστρέψιμη, αθροιστική με το χρόνο και αφορά όλες τις ηλικιακές ομάδες.Πρόσφατα, ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον έχει αναπτυχθεί για το ρόλο των μασητικών δυνάμεων στην ανάπτυξη των αυχενικών βλαβών οι οποίες περιγράφονται από τον όρο abfraction (απομακρυσμένη απόσπαση). Τα οξέα που προκαλούν διάβρωση προέρχονται από το στομάχι, τη διατροφή ή το περιβάλλον. Ο λανθασμένος τρόπος βουρτσίσματος ή ο υπερβάλλων ζήλος κατά το βούρτσισμα αποτελούν τις κυριότερες αιτίες της εκτριβής ενώ η αποτριβή φαινεται να είναι το αποτέλεσμα παραλειτουργικών έξεων. Αν κι έχουν περιγραφεί τα τυπικά χαρακτηριστικά κάθε βλάβης χωριστά είναι σχεδόν απίθανο η κλινική εικόνα να είναι το αποτέλεσμα ενός και μόνο αιτιολογικού παράγοντα. Παρόλο που είναι δύσκολο να καθοριστεί η κύρια αιτία, η λήψη ενός λεπτομερούς ιστορικού συμβάλλει στον προσδιορισμό της φύσης και της διάρκειας του προβλήματος. Ανάλογα με τη βαρύτητα της κατάστασης εφαρμόζονται προληπτικά μέτρα ή πραγματοποιείται αποκαταστατική θεραπεία.
description: Traditionally, the terms "erosion", "abrasion" and "attrition" have been used to describe the noncarious,pathological loss of tooth tissue. The three causes may act synchronously or sequentially,synergistically or additively. Tooth wear is an increasing problem which is likely to continue as more teeth are retained into old age. Recently, interest has grown in the role of occlusal stresses in the development of cervical lesions and the term abfraction has been used to describe them. Acids causing erosion originate from the stomach, the diet or the environment. The most common cause of abrasion is probably the incorrect or overvigorous toothbrushing while attrition may be the consequence of parafunctional activity. Although a "typical" appearance has been described for erosion, attrition and abrasion it is unlikely that the appearances described are a result of a single factor. Although it is often difficult to determine the main aetiological factor, a detailed case history is important in assessing the nature and duration of the problem. Some cases may require specific restorative procedures while others will not require treatment. In the last cases, prevention and monitoring are thought to be the appropriate strategies in maintaining the survival of the tooth.

description: Using recently developed methods for the evaluation of five-loop amplitudes in perturbative QCD, corrections of order alpha_s^4 for the cross section of electron-positron annihilation into hadrons and for the decay rates of the Z-boson and the tau-lepton into hadrons are evaluated. The new terms lead to a significant stabilization of the perturbative series, to a reduction of the theory uncertainly in the strong coupling constant alpha_s, as extracted from these measurements, and to a small shift of the central value, moving two central values closer together. The agreement between two values of alpha_s measured at vastly different energies constitutes a striking test of asymptotic freedom. Combining the results from Z and tau decays we find alpha_s(M_Z)=0.1198 \pm 0.0015 as one of the most precise and presently only result for the strong coupling constant in order alpha_s^4.

Off-shell and non-static contributions to heavy-quarkonium production

description: We have shown that if one relaxes the constraint that the quarks in a heavy quarkonium are at rest and on-shell, new contributions to the discontinuity of the production amplitude appear. These can be seen as a s-cut in the amplitude and are on the same footage as the classical cut of the Colour-Singlet Model (CSM), where the heavy quarks forming the quarkonium are put on-shell by hypothesis. We treat this cut in a gauge-invariant manner by introducing necessary new 4-point vertices, suggestive of the colour-octet mechanism. We have further shown that this cut contributes at least as much as the LO CSM at large P_T. However, the 4-point vertices cannot be totally constrained and an ambiguity remains to what concerns their actual contribution. Theoretical insights from meson photoproduction are discussed in that context.

description: The many effects of climate change, including the rising earth's temperature, the increased frequency of natural disasters, the melting sea ice, the reduction of ice mass have caused adverse impacts to the way we live our lives. Many climate agreements, an essential part of putting the issue of climate change at the forefront of policy makers’ thinking, have been organized, from the Kyoto Protocol, the Copenhagen Summit, and the Paris Agreement. Unfortunately, not all of these conferences ended up with a great success. For instance, the Kyoto Protocol and the Copenhagen Summit failed because of fundamental disagreements on whether developed and developing countries should share the same responsibility, as unaffordable prices on renewable energy had prevented developing countries to fuel their neck-breaking development pace without building cheap, but highly polluting power plants, mostly fuelled by readily available coal. A key part of the Paris Agreement’s success is its emphasis on individual targets by each country to lower their greenhouse gas emissions, uniquely tailored to each country needs and limitations. Advancements in technology have brought the era of exorbitant price on renewable energy to a close. Rapidly falling solar panels and wind turbines cost has allowed every country to integrate sustainable electricity into their energy plan at comparable costs to coal and gas-powered power plants. The rapidly falling price of ever-increasingly powerful battery invalidates the argument that environmentally friendly energy equals to high cost. Advancement in battery densities and costs are making expensive electric cars a thing of the past. Therefore, environmentally conscious actions and saving cost can be done simultaneously. Lastly, this paper will also detail various steps needed to be made by policy makers to significantly lower their carbon emissions.

description: We present an exploratory lattice QCD investigation of the differences between the valence quark structure of pion and its radial excitation $π(1300)$ in a fixed finite volume using the leading-twist factorization approach. We present evidences that the first pion excitation in our lattice computation is a single particle state that is likely to be the finite volume realization of $π(1300)$. An analysis with reasonable priors result in better estimates of the excited state PDF and the moments, wherein we find evidence that the radial excitation of pion correlates with an almost two-fold increase in the momentum fraction of valence quarks. This proof-of-principle work establishes the viability of future lattice computations incorporating larger operator basis that can resolve the structural changes accompanying hadronic excitation.

An Experimental Study of Substitute Materials by Partial Replacement of the Constituent Materials of Cement Concrete
Creators: name: V.Sravani, D.Mohammed Rafi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description:             The basic construction materials especially for conventional concrete are sand, metal and water. As their availability is dependent on natural resources, they become scarce and costlier day by day. At the same time the cheap and abundantly available industrial By-products such as Fly-Ash, Building demolition debris, Crusher dust, Plastic waste, scrape etc. Lot of research is going on in order to replace the low cost as well as environmental friendly materials in civil engineering construction. In this project we substitute Fly-ash in place of the cement and the Robo-sand in place of the fine aggregate to some extent at variable percentages are used.

The M30 grade of concrete is considered for all replacements and tests. Some percentage of cement is replaced by fly ash, and fine aggregate is replaced by Robo-sand. Concrete mixtures were produced, tested and compared in terms of compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength with conventional concrete. By changing the percentage replacement of material, strength equal to the conventional concrete can be found, optimum percentage of Cement or fine aggregate. In this study compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength are evaluated. We replace the Fly-Ash to the cement for obtaining the optimum value which is considered as the 25%. Now keeping the fly ash percentage constant and partial replacement of fine aggregate by robo-sand with increasing percentage has been experimented. The compressive test on concrete cubes, tensile test on cylinders and flexure test on beams is taken into account. The curing at 7days, 28 days and 90 days of cubes, cylinders and beams is considered.

description: We report on the direct measurement of the electron spin splitting and the accompanying nuclear Overhauser (OH) field, and thus the underlying nuclear spin polarization (NSP) and fluctuation bandwidth, in a single InAs quantum dot under resonant excitation conditions with unprecedented spectral resolution. The electron spin splitting is measured directly via resonant spin-flip single photon Raman scattering detected by superconducting nanowires to generate excitation-emission energy maps. The observed two-dimensional maps reveal an OH field that has a non-linear dependence on excitation frequency. This study provides new insight into earlier reports of so-called avoidance and tracking, showing two distinct NSP responses directly by the addition of a emission energy axis. The data show that the polarization processes depend on which electron spin state is optically driven, with surprising differences in the polarization fluctuations for each case: in one case, a stabilized field characterized by a single-peaked distribution shifts monotonically with the laser excitation frequency resulting in a nearly constant optical interaction strength across a wide detuning range, while in the other case the previously reported avoidance behavior is actually the result of a nonlinear dependence on the laser excitation frequency near zero detuning leading to switching between two distinct mesoscopic nuclear spin states. The magnitude of the field, which is as large as 400 mT, is measured with sub-100 nuclear spin sensitivity. Stable/unstable points of the OH field distribution are observed, resulting from the non-linear feedback loop in the electron-trion-nuclear system. Nuclear spin polarization state switching occurs between fields differing by 160 mT at least as fast as 25 ms. Control experiments indicate that the strain-induced quadrupolar interaction may explain the measured OH fields.

description: Τι είδους εκ γενετής δυσμορφίες ήταν κυρίαρχες στον αρχαίο ελληνικό κόσμο; Ποια ήταν η θέση ενός τυφλού ή κωφού ή άλαλου στην οικογένεια και την κοινωνία; Πώς ερμηνεύονταν τα φαινόμενα της αναπηρίας και της δυσμορφίας; Πώς επικοινωνούσαν οι κωφάλαλοι; Ποιες δυνατότητες θεραπείας υπήρχαν για τους ανάπηρους ; Ήταν σπάνιο το φαινόμενο της έκθεσης/απόθεσης βρεφών στην αρχαιότητα; Υπήρχε κοινωνική πρόνοια και κρατική φροντίδα για τις ευπαθείς ομάδες του πληθυσμού; Πώς αιτιολογείται η παρουσία ενός χωλού θεού, του Ήφαιστου, στη χορεία των Ολυμπίων; Πώς σχετίζεται η κατάρα των Λαβδακιδών, και ιδίως του Οιδίποδα, με τη δυσπλασία; Ποια ήταν η γνώμη των αρχαίων φιλοσόφων για την αναπηρία; Η Σπάρτη ήταν η «βάρβαρη» και «άσπλαχνη» πόλη της αρχαιότητας; Ήταν μύθος ή πραγματικότητα ο Καιάδας; Γιατί οι πιο γνωστοί μάντεις της αρχαιότητας είχαν πρόβλημα όρασης; Με την παρούσα εργασία έγινε απόπειρα να διερευνηθούν και ως ένα βαθμό να απαντηθούν αρκετά από τα προηγούμενα ερωτήματα. Συγχρόνως, προκρίθηκε η, κατά το δυνατόν πληρέστερη, παράθεση και ερμηνεία των ποικίλων πηγών (ιστορία, δράμα, μυθολογία, ιατρικά έργα, έπος, λυρική ποίηση, φιλοσοφία, λεξικά κ.α.) και παρουσιάστηκαν δευτερευόντως τα σχόλια και οι θέσεις αξιόλογων σύγχρονων μελετητών που ασχολήθηκαν με τα φαινόμενα της δυσμορφίας και της αναπηρίας στον αρχαίο κόσμο. Πρόθεση αυτού του εγχειρήματος ήταν η έκθεση και η προβολή των ίδιων των μαρτυριών μέσα από τα λόγια και τις κρίσεις των ανθρώπων που έζησαν εκείνες τις εποχές, ώστε να αποφευχθεί η διολίσθηση στην ατραπό των αξιολογικών παρατηρήσεων για δρώμενα και απόψεις του παρελθόντος μέσα από το φακό του σημερινού πολιτισμικού status θεώρησης. Στόχος υπήρξε η προσέγγιση του αυθεντικού νοήματος των πηγών πέρα από στερεότυπες αντιλήψεις και όχι η εξαγωγή ασφαλών συμπερασμάτων με κριτήριο το επίπεδο ανθρωπισμού σήμερα. Αναπόφευκτα, τα όποια συμπεράσματα είναι σ' ένα μεγάλο βαθμό σχετικά και υποκειμενικά, ίσως και ελλιπή.
description: In the eyes of the ancient Greeks, physical imperfections and infirmities were comparable to marks of the barbarian. Drawing on classical drama and poetry, historical works, medical tracts, mythology and ethnography the essay examines the high incidence of disability and deformity among the Greek population. From the deaf, the blind and the lame to hunchbacks, dwarfs and giants, to those even more severely disabled, the lives of the handicapped and their place in ancient society are being explored. The handicapped served as living testimony to the power of divine retribution and were also regarded as scapegoats, portents, embodiments of evil, objects of amusement and proof of nature's ingenuity

description: We computed the optical properties and the folded and unfolded band structure of Cu-doped KCl crystals. The calculations use the plane-wave pseudo-potential approach implemented in the ABINIT electronic structure package within the first-principles density-functional theory framework. Cu substitution into pristine KCl crystals requires calculation by the supercell (SC) method from a theoretical perspective. This procedure shrinks the Brillouin zone, resulting in a folded band structure that is difficult to interpret. To solve this problem and gain insight into the effect of cuprous ion (Cu+) on electronic properties; We unfolded the band structure of SC KCl:Cu to directly compare with the band structure of the primitive cell (PC) of pristine KCl. To understand the effect of Cu substitution on optical absorption, we calculated the imaginary part of the dielectric function of KCl:Cu through a sum-over-states formalism and broke it down into different band contributions by partially making an iterated cumulative sum (ICS) of selected valence and conduction bands. As a result, we identified those interband transitions that give rise to the absorption peaks due to the Cu ion. These transitions include valence and conduction bands formed by the Cu-3d and Cu-4s electronic states. To investigate the effects of doping position, we consider different doping positions, where the Cu dopant occupies all the substitutional sites replacing host K cations. Our results indicate that the doping position's effects give rise to two octahedral shapes in the geometric structure. The distorted-twisted octahedral square bipyramidal geometric-shape induces a difference in the crystal field splitting energy compared to that of the perfect octahedral square bipyramidal geometric-shape.

description: Ο σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η μελέτη της παρόχθιας χλωρίδας και βλάστησης κατά μήκος του τμήματος του Πηνείου ποταμού που διατρέχει την αστική και περιαστική περιοχή της Λάρισας. Συνολικά επιλέχθηκαν 33 περιοχές εντός των οποίων λήφθηκαν δύο και σπανιότερα μια δειγματοληπτική επιφάνεια, εμβαδού 50 m2.Οι παθητικές επεξηγηματικές μεταβλητές που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν περιελάμβαναν τους δείκτες του Ellenberg, δεδομένα που καταγράφηκαν στο πεδιο και διάφορα βιολογικά χαρακτηριστικά των φυτικών ειδών. Τέλος, συγκρίθηκαν οι τιμές ορισμένων επεξηγηματικών μεταβλητών μεταξύ των ομάδων των δειγματοληπτικών επιφανειών.Συνολικά καταγράφηκαν 204 taxa, στα οποία κυριαρχούσαν τα ημικρυπτόφυτα (37%) και τα ευρασιατικά (38&) είδη.Το ποσοστό των αλλόχθονων ειδών ήταν 12%. Οι αστικές παρόχθιες περιοχές χαρακτηρίζονταν από σημαντικά μεγαλύτερη κλίση, μικρότερο πλάτος παρόχθιας βλάστησης, πιο όξινα εδάφη, περισσότερο φωτόφιλα είδη, μεγαλύτερη ποσότητα στρωμνής και παρουσία απορριμάτων σε σχέση με τις αγροτικές/ημιφυσικές περιοχές. Επιπλέον, η αναλογία των αστικόφιλων, α-ευημερόβιων και αλλόχθονων ειδών ήταν πραγματικά μεγαλύτερη. Συμπερασματικά, από τα αποτελέσματα προκύπτει ότι η μείωση των διαταραχών και η αύξηση του πλάτους της παρόχθιας βλάστησης μπορούν να συμβάλλουν στην προστασία της φυσικής παρόχθιας βλάστησης του Πηνειού ποταμού
description: The aim of the present work is to study the riparian flora and vegetation along the secion of Pinios river, which run through the urban and peri-urban area of the city of Larissa. In total 33 sites were chosen. Within each site, two or rarely one, 50m2 quadrats were sampled. The releve's were classified and ordinated, using TWINSPAN and DCA. Passive explanatory variables included Ellenberg's indicator values, data recorded in the field and plant species biological traits. Finally, the values of certain explanatory variables were compared, between the groups of releves.In total, 204 taxa were recorded, among which hemicryptophytes (37%) and eurasiatic (38%) species dominated. The percentage of alien species was 12%. uraban riparias sites were charachterized by significantly higher inclination, narrower riparia vegetation width, more acid soils, less shade tolerant species, greater amount of litter and presence of garbage, compared to the rual /semi-natural riparian sites. Moreover, the proportion of urabanophilous, a-eu hemerobic and alien species was significantly higher. In concluding our results suggest that decrease of distrubance and increase of riparian vegetation width will contribute to the conservation fo the natural riiparian vegetation of Pinios river

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Batik is classified as an art or craft product produced through variations of textile patterning techniques. Its development is in line with the era of modernization and is going through the process of contemporary revolution. The identity of Malaysian art and culture translated into pattern design highlights the uniqueness and great value of Malaysian art and heritage. Batik Malaysia is an industrial product that is the main source of economic growth and cultural proliferation for developed countries. However, Malaysian batik is seen to be facing challenges in showcasing Malaysian identity. The method of data collection and content analysis is used to identify the challenges of Malaysian batik and discuss the role of Malaysian batik in facing challenges to maintain artistic and cultural identity. The results of the discussion from the content analysis clarify the role of Malaysian batik in facing challenges in line with the development of national art and heritage through the commercialization of the unique value of Malaysian batik identity and further achieve the goal of supporting the requirements of the National Cultural Policy 2021 (Daken). This research is important from the point of view of formulating a strategy to develop the value of Malaysian art and heritage. The results of the discussion will be used as a reference for further research purposes
Culture, economic structure, and the dynamics of ecological economic systems

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In this thesis several models are developed and analyzed in an attempt to better understand the interaction of culture, economic structure, and the dynamics of human ecological economic systems. Specifically, how does the ability of humans to change their individual behavior quickly and easily in response to changing environmental conditions (behavioral plasticity) alter the dynamics of human ecological economic systems? What role can cultural and social institutions play in affecting individual behavior and thus the dynamics of such systems? Finally, how do assumptions about the production and consumption of goods and services within human ecological economic systems affect their dynamics. Much work concerning interacting economic and natural processes has focused on technical issues and problems with standard economic thought. Less attention has been paid to the role of human behavior. The work presented herein addresses both but emphasizes the latter. Three models are developed: a model of the Tsembaga of New Guinea which focuses on the roles of behavior, cultural practices and ritual on the dynamics of the Tsembaga ecosystem; a model of Easter Island where the linkage between economic models of utility and the resulting behavioral model is studied; and finally a model of a modern two sector economy with capital accumulation where the emphasis is evenly split between behavior and economic issues. The main results of the thesis are: behavioral plasticity exhibited by humans can destabilize ecological economic systems and culture and social organization can play a critical role in offsetting this destabilizing force. Finally, the analysis of the two sector model indicates that there is a window of feasible investment levels that will lead to a sustainable economy. The size of this window depends on culture and social organization, namely the way economic growth is managed and how the associated benefits are distributed. The two sector model clarifies the idea of a sustainable economy, and allows the possibility of reaching one to be clearly characterized.

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: This study is part of the FHWA sponsored Special Project 202, "Break and Seat of Jointed Reinforced Concrete Pavement" (SP-202). In addition to Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, and Louisiana are also participating in the project. The projects were constructed under the experimental design defined in the FHWA Document "Special Project 202 Technical Resource Forum", June 6 and 7, 1989. Breaking patterns of 6, 18, and 30 inches, along with a control section which was not broken were used in each of the participating states.  The only major problem which occurred during construction occurred in the inside lane of the 6-inch test section. In this section, settlement of the broken slab was observed, causing the roller to sink into the underlying dense graded aggregate and subgrade. Subsequently, an area approximately 100 feet long was excavated and backfilled with large stone and full depth asphaltic concrete. The remainder of the construction process and installation of the monitoring gauges and access boxes went very well.  The gauges are working; i.e., horizontal movement is being detected during the observation periods. The data currently are limited due to the long-term nature of the project. No conclusions on the relative performance of each test section can be made. Once more data become available during the upcoming evaluation periods, relative performance between each section will be evaluated.
