THE ANALYSIS OF THE TRANSITION FROM SMOLDERING TO FLAMING IN POLYURETHANE CONTAINING ASSEMBLIES REPRESENTATIVE OF UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE

description: The smoldering and ignition of upholstered furniture is the leading cause of loss of life in accidental residential fires. Due to these fatal incidents, a new smoldering apparatus experimental setup was designed and built to investigate the temperature profile, the gaseous products, and the probability of transition from smoldering-to-flaming in polyurethane foam based upholstered furniture when subjected to a high intensity cartridge heater representative of a cigarette. The measurement locations in which the gaseous products and the temperatures from smoldering combustion were determined (2.5 – 22.5 cm above the heater) and the materials that made up each upholstered furniture assembly (cotton and polyester fabrics and battings with both fire retardant or non-fire retardant polyurethane foams) were both varied during the tests to investigate the specific gaseous quantities compared with temperature readings as a smolder front propagates and how varying materials affect the transition from smoldering-to-flaming, respectively. On average, the rate in which the smolder front propagates near the end of the test is 2 times faster than the rate at the start of the test. All tests performed produced large amounts of Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide, which is representative of 95% of the Oxygen that was consumed. During the moments directly before the sample transitions from smoldering-to-flaming, there is a noticeable increase in Oxygen consumption as the distance from the heater increases past the smolder front and into the Oxygen limited pyrolysis zone. The anaerobic pyrolysis zone produces the combustible fuels required for transition, and once a substantial amount of combustible fuel is produced, the high temperature smoldering reaction ignites the fuel. In varying the materials used in each upholstered assembly, it was confirmed that the probability of transition increased substantially with the use of cotton fabric and cotton batting, while the use of polyester fabric and polyester batting greatly reduced the probability of transition. The presence of fire retardants in fabrics and polyurethane foam can greatly reduce (or even eliminate) the probability of transition, but when paired with cotton batting, higher levels of fire retardants (BS 5852 rated) were required.

description: Localizing targets of interest in a given hyperspectral (HS) image has applications ranging from remote sensing to surveillance. This task of target detection leverages the fact that each material/object possesses its own characteristic spectral response, depending upon its composition. As $\textit{signatures}$ of different materials are often correlated, matched filtering based approaches may not be appropriate in this case. In this work, we present a technique to localize targets of interest based on their spectral signatures. We also present the corresponding recovery guarantees, leveraging our recent theoretical results. To this end, we model a HS image as a superposition of a low-rank component and a dictionary sparse component, wherein the dictionary consists of the $\textit{a priori}$ known characteristic spectral responses of the target we wish to localize. Finally, we analyze the performance of the proposed approach via experimental validation on real HS data for a classification task, and compare it with related techniques.

description: 3D printing or Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology is taking small, slow steps in the construction industry. It is dominantly used for prototyping purposes, and even with the several benefits it can bring to building technology, it is not being adopted on the desired scale. Several inter-organizational and intra-organizational factors play a critical role in determining the extent of 3D printing technology adoption in construction. This dissertation uses various technology innovation theories and studies to identify factors which might affect the 3D printing technology adoption in construction. The research investigates these elements from different stakeholder’s perspective and categorizes and analyzes them. The approach includes elaborate literature review, correspondence with professionals, and case studies. The success factors are assessed based on questionnaire responses from organizations and personnel who are interested in or are working with construction 3D printing. This research will help in understanding the implementation of the 3D printing technology in construction and provide a framework to guide efforts in the direction of technology adoption into the construction practice.

description: We measure the transverse relaxation of the spin state of an ensemble of ground-state rubidium atoms trapped in solid parahydrogen at cryogenic temperatures. We find the spin dephasing time of the ensemble (T$_2^*$) is limited by inhomogeneous broadening. We determine that this broadening is dominated by electrostatic interactions with the host matrix, and can be reduced by preparing nonclassical spin superposition states. Driving these superposition states gives significantly narrower electron paramagnetic resonance lines and the longest reported electron spin $T_2^*$ in any solid-phase system other than solid helium.
Scady: A Scalable & Dynamic Toolkit for Enhanced Performance in Grid Computing

Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: Grid computing has resulted in faster execution of applications. Day by day the requirement for execution speed of applications is increasing. To achieve this, suitable middleware is needed and to be configured requirement specific. An application can be executed faster only when there is no node failure or network failure. Moreover, at run time, if a node fails, there should be some alternative arrangement to reconfigure other node to complete the task which was supposed to be done by the failed node. Thus, a middleware is needed that can be configured according to the requirements of the application. Such a middleware would help in increasing the performance of the application. In most of the middleware available presently, dynamic configuration is not facilitated. This has become one of the reasons for the failure of adoption or implementation of Grid in many organizations.This paper analyzes the present GUI Grid – Alchemi with its components and challenges. It also proposes a toolkit-Scady which solves the challenges of Alchemi and provides higher performance. Two experiments are done and their result analysis shows the performance of the proposed toolkit.

description: Neutron scattering experiments reveal that a diagonal spin modulation, which is a one-dimensional modulation rotated away by 45$^\circ$ from that in the superconducting phase, occurs universally across the insulating spin-glass phase in La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ (0.02$\le x\le$0.055). This establishes an intimate relation between the magnetism and the transport properties in the high-temperature copper oxide superconductors. Furthermore, it is found that the charge density per unit length estimated using a charge stripe model is almost constant throughout the phase diagram, even when the modulation rotates away by 45$^\circ$ at the superconducting boundary. However, at the lowest values for $x$ the density changes approaching 1 hole/Cu as in La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$NiO$_4$. Magnetic excitation spectra suggest that magnetic correlations change from incommensurate to commensurate at $ω\sim$7 meV and $T\sim$70 K, indicating a characteristic energy for the incommensurate structure of 6-7 meV.

On a bound of the absolute constant in the Berry--Esseen inequality for i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables

description: It is shown that the absolute constant in the Berry--Esseen inequality for i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables is strictly less than the Esseen constant, if $1\le n\le 500000$, where $n$ is a number of summands. This result is got both with the help of a supercomputer and an interpolation theorem, which is proved in the paper as well. In addition, applying the method developed by S. Nagaev and V. Chebotarev in 2009--2011, an upper bound is obtained for the absolute constant in the Berry--Esseen inequality in the case under consideration, which differs from the Esseen constant by no more than 0.06%. As an auxiliary result, we prove a bound in the local Moivre--Laplace theorem which has a simple and explicit form. Despite the best possible result, obtained by J. Schulz in 2016, we propose our approach to the problem of finding the absolute constant in the Berry--Esseen inequality for two-point distributions since this approach, combining analytical methods and the use of computers, could be useful in solving other mathematical problems.

description: We report ab initio quantum chemical cluster calculations of the chain (J_a) and the largest interchain (J_b) Heisenberg exchange of the chain cuprates Ca_2CuO_3 and Sr_2CuO_3. We find that J_a is comparable to the in-plane J in layered cuprates and J_a/J_b ~250-400. Using recent theory we obtain close agreement with experiment for the staggered moments and the critical temperatures. This implies that T_N does not depend on the third parameter J_c << J_b, and cannot be calculated using spin-wave theory. We propose an explanation for this interms of a 1D->2D cross-over.

Theoretical insights into the topology of molecular excitons from single-reference excited states calculation methods

description: This chapter gives an introduction to qualitative and quantitative topological analyses of molecular electronic transitions. Among the possibilities for qualitatively describing how the electronic structure of a molecule is reorganized upon light-absorption, we chose to detail two of them, namely the detachment/attachment density matrix analysis and the natural transition orbitals strategy. While these tools are often introduced separately, we decided to formally detail the connection existing between the two paradigms in the case of excited states calculation methods expressing any excited state as a linear combination of singly excited Slater determinants, written based on a single-reference ground state wave function. In this context, we show how the molecular exciton wave function plays a central role in the topological analysis of the electronic transition process.

description: In den letzten Jahren sind weltweit feministische Forderungen für gleiche Rechte, Respekt und Lohngleichheit aufgekommen. Am Frauenstreik vom 14. Juni 2019 haben Hunderttausende Personen in der Schweiz an Protestaktionen teilgenommen. 30 Jahre nach dem ersten Frauenstreik in der Schweiz, sind diese sozialpolitischen Themen wieder brandaktuell. Diese sozialen Probleme interessieren auch die Soziale Arbeit, vor allem die Sozialpädagogik zum Diskurs der Erziehungsfragen. Denn durch die steigende Berufstätigkeit der Frauen und dem Wandel von Werten und Normen in der Gesellschaft erfolgt die Kinderbetreuung vermehrt durch familienergänzende Betreuungsangebote mit Sozialpädagogen und -pädagoginnen in den Leitungspositionen. Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit strebt an, mittels Literaturrecherche folgende Fragestellung zu beantworten: Wie kann die Sozialpädagogik einen Beitrag zur genderbewussten Erziehung von Kleinkindern leisten und welche Aspekte davon können zur Gender-Gleichstellung beitragen? Forschungsergebnisse in der Entwicklungspsychologie zeigen, dass die Erziehung von Kleinkindern in den ersten sechs Lebensjahren prägend ist für die Geschlechtsidentitätsentwicklung. Somit kommt der familienergänzenden Betreuung in der Erziehung eine wichtige Rolle zu. Die genderbewusste Erziehung kann dabei richtungsweisend sein. Sie strebt eine Gleichbehandlung der Kinder an, welche sich positiv auf die Chancengleichheit auswirkt. Um den aktuellen Forderungen gerecht zu werden und einen Beitrag zur Gender-Gleichstellung zu leisten, nehmen die beiden Autorinnen diese Bachelorarbeit zum Anlass, Handlungsempfehlungen für die sozialpädagogische Praxis aufzuzeigen.

description: We discuss the generation of the baryon asymmetry by a strong first order electroweak phase transition in the early universe, particularly in the context of the MSSM. This requires a thorough numerical treatment of the bubble wall profile in the case of two Higgs fields. CP violating complex particle masses varying with the Higgs field in the wall are essential. Since in the MSSM there is no indication of spontaneous CP violation around the critical temperature (contrary to the NMSSM) we have to rely on standard explicit CP violation. Using the WKB approximation for particles in the plasma we are led to Boltzmann transport equations for the difference of left-handed particles and their CP conjugates. This asymmetry is finally transformed into a baryon asymmetry by out of equilibrium sphaleron transitions in the symmetric phase. We solve the transport equations and find a baryon asymmetry depending mostly on the CP violating phases and the wall velocity.

description: Ultrafast spin dynamics in ferromagnetic half-metallic compound Sr_2FeMoO_6 is investigated by pump-probe measurements of magneto-optical Kerr effect. Half-metallic nature of this material gives rise to anomalous thermal insulation between spins and electrons, and allows us to pursue the spin dynamics from a few to several hundred picoseconds after the optical excitation. The optically detected magnetization dynamics clearly shows the crossover from microscopic photoinduced demagnetization to macroscopic critical behavior with universal power law divergence of relaxation time for wide dynamical critical region.

Post-Silicon Group IV Materials: Selected Applications of Quantum Mechanics to Device Simulation

Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland

Subjects: subject: Electrical engineering

description: Quantum mechanics is applied to the study and simulation of two features of group IV semiconductor devices: metal/n-type 4H-SiC interfaces for SiC-based Schottky diodes and GeO2 gate dielectrics for Ge-based Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs). SiC is well suited for power electronics due to its relatively wide bandgap and high breakdown field. In Schottky power diodes, one consideration in device performance is reverse saturation leakage. For metal/4H-SiC interfaces, reverse saturation leakage current is modeled with quantum transmission calculated by the Symmetrized Transfer Matrix Method (STMM). The classical thermionic emission model and quantum model are compared for multiple donor concentrations. The quantum model is then compared to experimental results for Ti/4H-SiC measurements, and the effect of Fermi pinning is included to account for the correct barrier height. Multiple donor concentrations are again modeled to best fit the bias dependence of the measured curves to find an effective doping level to reflect possible barrier thinning. Ge is considered as a possible replacement for Si in MOSFET design as device lengths continue to scale down to match Moore's Law and Si MOSFETs become increasingly difficult to fabricate. Ge is considered due to its relatively high electron and hole mobilities, and its ability to grow a native oxide like Si. However, GeO2 and the Ge/GeO2 interface suffer from high defect densities, with one such defect being the oxygen vacancy defect. For GeO2, the oxygen vacancy defect, and corresponding fluorine passivation, are modeled using Density Functional Theory (DFT) to calculate the atomic configurations and energies. Incorporation of fluorine atoms in the vicinity of the defect is modeled, as well as the incorporation of fluorine atoms within the oxide network. Hydrogen passivation is also modeled and found to not be as energetically favorable. Finally, fluorine diffusion through the oxide network is investigated by calculating the reaction pathway between fluorine incorporation sites in the network.

description: Mining useful patterns from varied types of databases is an important research topic, which has many real-life applications. Most studies have considered the frequency as sole interestingness measure for identifying high quality patterns. However, each object is different in nature. The relative importance of objects is not equal, in terms of criteria such as the utility, risk, or interest. Besides, another limitation of frequent patterns is that they generally have a low occupancy, i.e., they often represent small sets of items in transactions containing many items, and thus may not be truly representative of these transactions. To extract high quality patterns in real life applications, this paper extends the occupancy measure to also assess the utility of patterns in transaction databases. We propose an efficient algorithm named High Utility Occupancy Pattern Mining (HUOPM). It considers user preferences in terms of frequency, utility, and occupancy. A novel Frequency-Utility tree (FU-tree) and two compact data structures, called the utility-occupancy list and FU-table, are designed to provide global and partial downward closure properties for pruning the search space. The proposed method can efficiently discover the complete set of high quality patterns without candidate generation. Extensive experiments have been conducted on several datasets to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. Results show that the derived patterns are intelligible, reasonable and acceptable, and that HUOPM with its pruning strategies outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithm, in terms of runtime and search space, respectively.

description: Reciprocity is one of the fundamental properties in the field of wave propagation. In acoustics, this property helps in various practical applications. But, breaking this reciprocity also has useful applications. As a result of which, many researchers have tried to break the reciprocity in acoustics, which is comparatively difficult, unlike in fields such as electro-magnetics. Majority of these proposed methods to break the reciprocity are hard-wired systems, which work for a very limited frequency range. Thus, we have introduced a non-reciprocal metamaterial having boundary control with the help of piezoelectric sensors and actuators. A theoretical model is introduced to induce the nonreciprocal behavior, and it is backed up by providing experimental evidence. Our setup consists of a cylindrical cell made up of acrylic, filled with water, having four piezo sensors/actuators, two on each end. The idea is to excite the piezo cell through an actuator on one side, collect the resulting signal from the piezo sensor on the other side, and perform appropriate mathematical operations on this signal to produce a feedback/control signal via a specially designed dynamic control action. This control signal affects the propagation of pressure waves through the water medium inside the cell as it introduces a virtual gyroscopic effect of controlled magnitude and direction. Thus, this is how non-reciprocity is introduced and controlled into the metamaterial cell. The obtained theoretical and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the dynamic controller in breaking the acoustic reciprocity. Extension of this work to multi-cell metamaterial configuration is natural extension to be pursued.

description: Three full-service casinos recently opened in Maryland: Live! Casino at the Arundel Mills Mall (June 2012), Horseshoe in Downtown Baltimore (August 2014), and MGM at the National Harbor (December 2016). The increased travel demand associated with such large entertainment complexes prompted an effort to quantify each facility’s impact on regional and local traffic patterns; therefore, a three-pronged analysis was conducted. First, historic vehicle probe data were analyzed to quantify and visualize the observed, local traffic impact for selected months before and after each casino became operational. Subsequently, an open-source mesoscopic DTA simulator named DTALite modeled the regional impact of the before/after scenarios as well as a special event scenario (e.g. Baltimore Ravens’ football game). The paper’s final component explored two innovative trip generation estimation methods to supplement the ITE Manual’s data limitation for casinos by utilizing aggregated mobile device trip data and an origin-demand adjustment system imbedded within DTALite. Ultimately, the data analytics and simulation-based modeling revealed no major traffic impact was generated by any casino. Moreover, upon comparison with ground truth count data, the origin-demand estimation technique out-performed both the ITE-based and location-based trip estimation methods.

description: Context. Breathtaking imagery recorded during the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission confirmed the bilobate nature of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko's nucleus. Its peculiar appearance is not unique among comets. The majority of cometary cores imaged at high resolution exhibit a similar build. Various theories have been brought forward as to how cometary nuclei attain such peculiar shapes. Aims. We illustrate that anisotropic mass loss and local collapse of subsurface structures caused by non-uniform exposure of the nucleus to solar irradiation can transform initially spherical comet cores into bilobed ones. Methods. A mathematical framework to describe the changes in morphology resulting from non-uniform insolation during a nucleus' spin-orbit evolution is derived. The resulting partial differential equations that govern the change in the shape of a nucleus subject to mass loss and consequent collapse of depleted subsurface structures are solved analytically for simple insolation configurations and numerically for more realistic scenarios. Results. The here proposed mechanism is capable of explaining why a large fraction of periodic comets appear to have peanut-shaped cores and why light-curve amplitudes of comet nuclei are on average larger than those of typical main belt asteroids of the same size.

description: Legibility is the extent to which a space can be easily recognized. Evaluating legibility is particularly desirable in indoor spaces, since it has a large impact on human behavior and the efficiency of space utilization. However, indoor space legibility has only been studied through survey and trivial simulations and lacks reliable quantitative measurement. We utilized a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN), which is structurally similar to a human perception system, to model legibility in indoor spaces. To implement the modeling of legibility for any indoor spaces, we designed an end-to-end processing pipeline from indoor data retrieving to model training to spatial legibility analysis. Although the model performed very well (98% top-1 accuracy) overall, there are still discrepancies in accuracy among different spaces, reflecting legibility differences. To prove the validity of the pipeline, we deployed a survey on Amazon Mechanical Turk, collecting 4,015 samples. The human samples showed a similar behavior pattern and mechanism as the DCNN models. Further, we used model results to visually explain legibility in different architectural programs, building age, building style, visual clusterings of spaces and visual explanations for building age and architectural functions.

description: As the alternative of Lithium-ion Batteries, Dual-Ion Batteries (DIBs), utilizing the intercalation mechanisms of anions into graphite cathode and cations into anode materials, have been proposed as a novel energy storage system for the long cycle life, low cost and environmental impact. However, due to the high potential of anions intercalation into graphite, electrolytes with high oxidizing stability are required. Herein, all-fluorinated electrolyte (1 M LiPF6 in fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC)/ bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) carbonate (FDEC)/ hydrofluoroether (HFE) 2:6:2 by volume) enables the DIB to be operated within a wide voltage window with excellent cycling stability. Moreover, Li2TiSiO5 anode material with high reversibility and proper working potential (0.28 V vs. Li+/Li), which supports high-rate operation due to free of lithium dendrite compared with graphitic anode, is applied here. This dual ion cell (graphite // Li2TiSiO5) exhibits high cycling stability with 71% capacity retention after 500 cycles and excellent rate performance (15 C).

title: Investigation of the role of freeze bonds on the development of ice rubble strength.

description: Freeze bonds are one of the controlling factors in ice ridge and rubble failure. Strength and failure properties of freeze bonds are therefore important to study, to better understand the overall strength development of ice ridges/rubble. This research aims to understand the strength development and failure of freshwater freeze bonds through a series of experiments, conducted under different conditions of contact time, deformation rate, and confinement pressure. Freeze bonds were formed between two cylindrical ice samples, confined under a normal pressure at the two ends, which were submerged in a freshwater bath for a specific period of time. Freeze-bonded samples were then sheared using the Asymmetric Four-Point Bending (AFPB) apparatus installed on the Materials Testing System (MTS) servo-hydraulic testing machine at Memorial University’s coldroom. Increasing the submersion time from 1 minute to 14 days, freeze bond strength was observed to be initially controlled by heat transfer processes, increasing with submersion time and reaching a peak after 5 minutes. Strength then decreased as ice reached equilibrium temperature with surrounding water, after which it remained constant. Sintering and creep processes were believed to be the dominating mechanism in long submersion times, resulting in an increase in strength after 1 day, until reaching the strength of solid ice after 14 days. Confinement pressure effects were investigated for four different submersion times that were chosen based on the stages of bond development observed in the submersion time tests. Strength values increased linearly as confinement increased from 10 to 100 kPa for all submersion times tested. The rate of this increase followed the trends observed in submersion time tests, with the highest amount of increase occurring after one week of submersion. Sintering-creep and crushing of asperities in contact were introduced as the responsible processes, which are known to be intensified with increase in confinement and contact time. Increasing the deformation rate during shear from 0.01 to 100 mm/s, freeze bond failure strength was observed to decrease. This decrease was associated with higher amounts of strain before failure of freeze bonds at lower deformation rates, which is a result of the higher capacity of energy dissipation and creep at lower rates. Ice rubble and ice ridge experiments studied to date follow similar trendlines of strength-confinement and strength-deformation rate observed in present study, which highlights the important role of block to block freeze bond strength development and failure on the overall strength properties of ice rubble/ridges.
