description: The properties of loosely bound proton-rich nuclei around A = 20 are investigated within the framework of nuclear shell model. In these nuclei, the strength of the effective interactions involving the loosely bound proton s1=2 orbit are significantly reduced in comparison with those in their mirror nuclei. We evaluate the reduction of the effective interaction by calculating the monopole-baseduniversal interaction (VMU) in the Woods-Saxon basis. The shell-model Hamiltonian in the sd shell, such as USD, can thus be modified to reproduce the binding energies and energy levels of the weakly bound proton-rich nuclei around A = 20. The effect of the reduction of the effective interaction on the structure and decay properties of these nuclei is also discussed.

title: Risk analysis and decision making for autonomous underwater vehicles
Creators: name: Chen, Xi
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland

description: Risk analysis for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) is essential to enable AUVs to explore extreme and dynamic environments. This research aims to augment existing risk analysis methods for AUVs, and it proposes a suite of methods to quantify mission risks and to support the implementation of safety-based decision making strategies for AUVs in harsh marine environments. This research firstly provides a systematic review of past progress of risk analysis research for AUV operations. The review answers key questions including fundamental concepts and evolving methods in the domain of risk analysis for AUVs, and it highlights future research trends to bridge existing gaps. Based on the state-of-the-art research, a copula-based approach is proposed for predicting the risk of AUV loss in underwater environments. The developed copula Bayesian network (CBN) aims to handle non-linear dependencies among environmental variables and inherent technical failures for AUVs, and therefore achieve accurate risk estimation for vehicle loss given various environmental observations. Furthermore, path planning for AUVs is an effective decision making strategy for mitigating risks and ensuring safer routing. A further study presents an offboard risk-based path planning approach for AUVs, considering a challenging environment with oil spill scenarios incorporated. The proposed global Risk-A* planner combines a Bayesian-based risk model for probabilistic risk reasoning and an A*-based algorithm for path searching. However, global path planning designed for static environments cannot handle the unpredictable situations that may emerge, and real-time replanned solutions are required to account for dynamic environmental observations. Therefore, a hybrid risk-aware decision making strategy is investigated for AUVs to combine static global planning with dynamic local re-planning. A dynamic risk analysis model based on the system theoretic process analysis (STPA) and BN is applied for generating a real-time risk map in target mission areas. The dynamic window algorithm (DWA) serves for local path planning to avoid moving obstacles. The proposed hybrid risk-aware decisionmaking architecture is essential for the real-life implementation of AUVs, leading eventually to a real-time adaptive path planning process onboard the AUV.

description: In the synthesis model signals are represented as a sparse combinations of atoms from a dictionary. Dictionary learning describes the acquisition process of the underlying dictionary for a given set of training samples. While ideally this would be achieved by optimizing the expectation of the factors over the underlying distribution of the training data, in practice the necessary information about the distribution is not available. Therefore, in real world applications it is achieved by minimizing an empirical average over the available samples. The main goal of this paper is to provide a sample complexity estimate that controls to what extent the empirical average deviates from the cost function. This estimate then provides a suitable estimate to the accuracy of the representation of the learned dictionary. The presented approach exemplifies the general results proposed by the authors in Sample Complexity of Dictionary Learning and other Matrix Factorizations, Gribonval et al. and gives more concrete bounds of the sample complexity of dictionary learning. We cover a variety of sparsity measures employed in the learning procedure.

description: The precessing vortex core (PVC), also known as vortex rope, in a draft tube of a Francis-99 hydro turbine is investigated. The goal is to increase our comprehension of the root of the PVC in order to attenuate or suppress the PVC, thus extending the stable operational range below the best efficiency point at part load conditions. Unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier– Stokes simulations are conducted and used as a basis for all the analyses performed in this work. The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and the spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) as data-driven methods and the linear stability analysis (LSA) as a physics-based, operator-driven method are used to examine the PVC in detail. With the DFT and SPOD, two dominant modes are found inside the draft tube. Likewise, the LSA reveals two distinct linear instabilities of single-helical and double-helical shape, which agree with the findings of the SPOD in terms of spatial shape and temporal frequency. A particular focus is laid upon the region upstream of the draft tube. An adjoint-based sensitivity analysis reveals that both instability modes are highly sensitive to mean flow modifications inside the transitional segment between runner and draft tube, such as induced by passive control devices. The knowledge of these sensitivities will guide to an optimized runner and draft tube design for controlling the PVC and the double-helical mode.

description: Art  and  art  education  projects  can  be  cross  disciplinary,  experimental,  and  provocative.  In teaching  and  researching  within  the  field  of  art education, my collaborations with art historians and studio   artists   enrich   my   sense   of   documentation   and  analysis  of  visual  cultures.  For  this  reason,  I was   intrigued   when   my   colleague   mentioned   her   exciting  project  idea  inspired  by  the  Staffordshire Hoard, a magnificent collection of gold jewelry and weapons  discovered  in  the  summer  of  2009.  Leahy  and  Bland  note  the  Staffordshire  Hoard  collection was  conspicuously  missing  “feminine  objects,  such as dress fitting, pendants, and broaches.”1    This  lack  of  female  visual  culture  in  the  treasury  puzzled  and  inspired us.  My colleague (an art historian) was not simply studying the historic hoard, but imagining and creating  female  tween  treasures  with  a  photographer  in  order  to  juxtapose  contemporary  girlhood  culture  with that of medieval warriors. Working together, we hoped to theorize hoards and hoarding of young women productively  through  our  varied  artistic  lenses

Comparing tween girls  and  their  nuanced  tactics  of  surveillance  and  bullying  to  those same skills of medieval warriors allowed us to create an intimate circular relationship between precious objects and both their owners and their takers.  This relationship is important but so  were  our  own  processes  of  research,  object  interrogation,  visualization and writing.  Ultimately, while studying the past and speculating about the future, we found our own voices. Scholarly. Creative. Brave.

description: Before I started elementary school, I remember being obsessed  with  the  idea  of  treasure.    I  loved  tales  of  pirates  and  jewels,  and  relished  movies  including secret  compartments  and  magical  amulets.    An  older  sibling  bought  me  beloved  kitschy  treasure  chests  from  pet  store  aquarium  sections.    I  also  used  to  dig  in  the  backyard,  scour  the  basement,  and  sift through my mother’s jewelry in hopes to find some ancient, forgotten, secret objects.  Treasure, with its preciousness  and  stories  are  interesting  to  children  with good reason.  The acts of discovering, discussing, defining,  and  creating  treasure  are  inherently  and usefully artistic, for we must decide what qualities of color, shape, luster, history, myth and meaning might render an object to become treasured.

description: In this experimental study, a passive flow control concept is provided to extend the stable part load operation regime by shifting the rise of the precessing vortex core (PVC), also known as vortex rope, toward lower mass flows respectively deeper part loads. A parametrized runner crown design working as a passive flow control device is derived. This control device aims for shifting the bifurcation point of the PVC to lower flow rates. To determine the most influential design parameters and derive an optimized runner crown design, a design of experiments (DoE) approach is used. This DoE approach is based on data obtained from differential pressure sensors inside the draft tube wall of a generic hydro turbine test rig using air as working fluid. By means of stochastic modeling, the growth rate of the PVC mode is derived from the statistics of the measured pressure signals. The growth rate is used to estimate the bifurcation point of the PVC characterized by a certain normalized flow rate. It is shown that the stable part load operation regime is extended by up to 25% due to the passive impact of the modified runner crown. Moreover, the operational range featuring considerable PVC-induced pressure oscillations is diminished and the pressure recovery of the draft tube is improved compared to the baseline case.

Creators: name: Needham, Emma
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries

description: Auschwitz is known as the most substantial site of the Holocaust namely because Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest concentration camp in Europe, and it is estimated that about 960,000 Jews and 125,000 others were murdered there.1 Not only was the process of creating the memorial at Auschwitz filled with controversies, but the site also remains questionable today with regards to dark tourism, or thanatourism, “the tourism of death.”2 For some, the thought of traveling to a place subsumed in death and despair sounds troubling as the consumption of dark tourism involves a process of “confronting, understanding and accepting death.” 3 Disputes and questions have existed in cooperation with Auschwitz as a site of public memory from the time the idea to create a memorial arose until the present day. One of the largest disputes includes the issue of involvement in the camp. Robert Jan Van Pelt questions the necessity of tampering with Auschwitz in his article, asking, “Should we not just acknowledge the radical ‘otherness’ of the place, and allow it to be?”4 This paper argues that Auschwitz as a site of public memory has been, and will be, the source of many controversies. The museum of Auschwitz does exist and is still standing for the purpose of educating others about the atrocities of what happened while the camp was functioning. While the museum’s educational mission is not purely exclusive to Auschwitz, it is successful.

description: The  “Renew,  Reuse,  Recycle”  motto  of  late twentieth-  and twenty-first-century America had an early twentieth-century echo  from  the  Great  Depression  and  World  War  II:  “use  it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.” Both phrases ex-press  the  importance  of  making  things  as  useful  as  possible for  as  long  as  possible,  and  the  earlier  expression  recognizes that  a  failure  of  sustainability  leaves  us  bereft.  For  hackers, sustainability is a passion. In an era of disposable electronics, hackers are keen to extend the functioning lives of machines by  repairing  them  or  reprogramming  them.  As  we  saw  in Chapter  1,  hackers  may  expend  this  effort  out  of  selfishness, out  of  simple  joy  in  hacking,  but  may also  act for  the  com-mon  good.  To  accomplish  this,  however,  hackers  must  truly own  the  “boxes”  they  modify;  this  is  a  current  point  of  con-tention between hackers and electronics manufacturers. Even the  first  iPad  had  no  way  for  an  owner  to  access  the  battery (without  a  sledgehammer).  Tablet  and  iPad  screens  tend  to be  fused  to  the  motherboard,  prohibiting  any  significant  re-pair  and  requiring  replacement  of  most  of  the  unit,  rather than  replacing  individual  parts.  Likewise  most  software  cannot  be  customized,  developed,  or  even  fixed  except  by  spe-cialists   licensed   by   the   software   company.   Such   single-purposefulness  and  limitation  of  code,  of  text,  frustrates modern  hackers,  and  would  not  even  have  been  possible  in medieval manuscript culture.

description: A novel methodology is investigated to identify and optimise large scale offshore grid topologies connecting multiple wind farms and countries with each other. A Geographical Information System (GIS) is setup to cluster wind farms and create a permissive graph topology. Its purpose is to propose grid layouts with potential hub locations and landing points bottom-up in a fully analytical toolchain, while avoiding manual scenario building. A coupled market model performs the investment optimisation into new lines on the GIS created graph. This two-step procedure is demonstrated at the example of the Baltic Sea Region for the target year 2040. It can be found, that future offshore topologies benefit from bundled transmission paths and many clustered wind farms. A sensitivity analysis reveals that the topology results are sensitive for wind farm location assumptions and pre-defined interconnectors or hubs. Not least, the capability of the onshore grid to integrate the influx of offshore wind power and the level of detail it is modelled in, directly reflects on the topology results for the offshore grid. It is concluded that optimising the future offshore grid is a quest of pan-European scale which benefits heavily from geo data based pre-processing in a GIS.

description: The oscillations of the solar-like star HD 49933 have been observed thoroughly by CoRot. Two dozens of frequency shifts, which are closely related with the change in magnetic activity, have been measured. To explore the effects of the magnetic activity on the frequency shifts, we calculate frequency shifts for the radial and $l = 1$ p-modes of HD 49933 with the general variational method, which evaluates the shifts using a spatial integral of the product of a kernel and some sources. The theoretical frequency shifts well reproduce the observation. The magnitudes and positions of the sources are determined according to the $χ^2$ criterion. We predict the source that contributes to both $l = 0$ and $l = 1$ modes is located at $0.48 - 0.62$Mm below the stellar surface. In addition, based on the assumption that $A_{0}$ is proportional to the change in the MgII activity index $Δ{i}_{MgII}$, we obtained that the change of MgII index between minimum and maximum of HD 49933 cycle period is about 0.665. The magnitude of the frequency shifts compared to the Sun already told us that HD 49933 is much more active than the Sun, which is further confirmed in this paper. Furthermore, our calculation on the frequency shifts of $l = 1$ modes indicates the variation of turbulent velocity in the stellar convective zone may be an important source for the $l = 1$ shifts.

Creators: name: Gibbons, Stephanie
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2023

description: Few previous studies of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAAs) have incorporated empirical measurements to compare against their corresponding computational material models. Even fewer studies have been conducted to investigate causes of AAAs. The research objective of this thesis is to investigate an area of reduced wall thickness as a factor in aneurysm initiation, using a “tissue-like” material and comparing with the material model most commonly used for aortic simulations. A “tissue-like” silicone material, Smooth-Sil 940, was selected and a study was completed to obtain the characteristics of the material. The material was then utilized to create specimens for a physical experimental model, and its material properties were utilized to generate computational models with the same material characteristics and geometry of the experimental models. Two studies were then completed in parallel; one computational and one experimental. When both studies were completed the results were compared and observations were made regarding the validity of the computational models, and the impact of an area of reduced wall thickness. Results from both studies suggest that an area of reduced wall thickness could be a critical factor for aneurysm initiation.

description: We establish asymptotic normality of weighted sums of periodograms of a stationary linear process where weights depend on the sample size. Such sums appear in numerous statistical applications and can be regarded as a discretized versions of quadratic forms involving integrals of weighted periodograms. Conditions for asymptotic normality of these weighted sums are simple, minimal, and resemble Lindeberg-Feller condition for weighted sums of independent and identically distributed random variables. Our results are applicable to a large class of short, long or negative memory processes. The proof is based on sharp bounds derived for Bartlett type approximation of these sums by the corresponding sums of weighted periodograms of independent and identically distributed random variables.

description: In collaborative product development, diverse stakeholders are involved in distributed engineering activities. This situation makes it difficult to ensure, manage, and improve the quality across company boundaries. Therefore, this work determines the characteristics of collaborative engineering which have an influence on the quality of distributed product development. Several interoperability frameworks were analyzed in order to get insights into key areas for collaboration design. Furthermore, a systematic literature review provided the best practices for improvement efforts. The derived quality attributes were condensed and adapted to collaborative product development in the four key areas of organization and processes, data/artifacts, information technology systems and infrastructure, and social factors. This enables product developers to examine their collaborative engineering environment and to identify room for improvement and to enhance quality. A case example of an engineering change order shows a collaborative data flow process, in which the quality attributes may indicate improvement measures.

description: To  a  large  extent,  the  period  between  1945–1990  in  Al-banian  history,  and  the  type  of  monumentality  created  during  this  period,  is  still  unreadable  to  us  today.  This  unreadability  is  partially  the  result  of  a  politicization  of  the  monumental  heritage  from  this  period,  if  not  its  entire  historiography,  as  evidenced  by  the  many  con-flicting   descriptive   adjectives   launched   like   missiles   into   the   past:   “socialist,”   “communist,”   “dictatorial,”   “scientific-stalinist,” “terrorist,” “totalitarian,” and so on. This situation, however, has led to a climate of insistent negligence,  if  not  outright  condemnation  and  destruc-tion, as well as various gaps in the scholarly tradition at-tending to the various sorts of monumentality in the Al-banian cultural landscape. The most recent overview of Albanian monumentality was published in 1973, entitled Përmendore të heroizmit shqiptar (Memorials of Albanian Heroism).1  This  album  was  published  as  a  part  of  the  campaign  of  what  then  Secretary  of  the  Central  Com-mitte  of  the  Albanian  Labor  Party  Ramiz  Alia  called  “monumental  propaganda,”  being  an  integral  element  of the Cultural and Ideological Revolution. As a project, the  Albanian  Lapidar  Survey  (als),  conducted  by  the  Department of Eagles in 2014, aimed to give a first, and general, overview of Albanian monumentality from the period 1945–1990.

description: This article presents a novel approach for the electrical interconnection of embroidered conductive yarns with each other at defined cross-points using ultrasonic spot welding. The electrically conductive yarns are made of silver-coated copper microwires plied with polyester filament fibers into a hybrid embroidery yarn. In this study we evaluated the influence of different material properties (number of microwires of conductive yarn, fabric substrate, and adhesive film), the embroidery designs of contact pads, and the main parameters of the welding process (energy, force, amplitude, and tools) on the welded interconnection. The results were evaluated by the process yield and the contact resistance of the welded contacts. The electrical contacts were then tested for long-term reliability (elevated temperature and humidity, temperature shock change, bending, washing and drying) and analyzed. In addition, the contacts were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and micro-computed tomography and in the form of cross-sections with optical and SEM techniques to discuss interconnection and failure mechanisms. The results show that ultrasonic spot welding can enable the production of highly reliable interconnections of textile-integrated conductive yarns with contact resistances of a few milliohms that are resistant to mechanical, environmental, and washing conditions, leading to potential new manufacturing processes of e-textiles.

description: With the continuous care of the party and government for  the  preservation  and  further  development  of  the  patriotic  and  revolutionary  traditions  of  our  people,  monumental  propaganda  acquires  with  us  increasingly  broader proportions for the immortalization of the most important  events  and  figures,  and  is  transforming  into  a powerful instrument for the reflection of the glorious history of our people and for the revolutionary and class education  of  the  masses.1  Nowadays,  beside  the  place-ment  of  hundreds  of  commemorative  plaques,  dozens  upon dozens of lapidars, busts, statues, and monuments have  been  erected  everywhere,  reminding  the  traveller  and visitor that the Albanian, as comrade Enver has said, has – sword in hand – cut the road of history in two, and that  Albania  has  turned  into  a  country  of  lapidars  and  construction sites.

description: Oxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OME) show promising solubility and combustion properties for applications in various chemical processes and sectors. OME enable clean and quasi soot-free combustion, which can consequently lead to considerable NOx emissions reduction. Besides reducing local emissions, OME can significantly reduce the global CO2 emissions by substituting fossil diesel fuel if their production is based on sustainable methanol. Various process concepts for the OME production were proposed and investigated, but most of them have significant bottlenecks, which prevent their demonstration and scale-up in the near future. Only the production based on OME1 and trioxane can already be demonstrated and scaled up, which, however, is complex and energy-intensive, considering a sustainable production based on H2 and CO2. Therefore, the novel COMET (clean OME technology) process concept is introduced and experimentally demonstrated utilizing only state-of-the-art process units. The COMET process relies solely on methanol and formalin as feedstock and overcomes the challenging water management aspect in the OME value chain, using a reactive distillation column. The COMET process is evaluated at a scale of 100 kilotons per annum OME3–5 product for the system boundary starting from H2O electrolysis and CO2 capture. Key performance indicators are defined and compared with alternative processes from the literature. The COMET process shows a high carbon efficiency of 88% and overall energy efficiency of 54% in comparison to the alternative OME3–5 production processes introduced in the literature. Moreover, the COMET process offers the forthwith large-scale production of OME in a relatively simple process chain and high technology readiness level.

Dignified Symbols for Historical Events

description: As  a  direct  result  of  the  great  care  of  the  party  and  the  government,  a  healthy  social  opinion  has  been  created  in  our  country  to  keep  alive  the  mass  and  individual  heroism  and  to  immortalize  the  different  events  of  lo-cal and national importance.1 There is a sensible growth in the number of memorials in our country. Nowadays, we  have  about  500  lapidars,  over  300  commemorative  plaques, 140 busts, and 27 monuments and memorials. The  study  of  the  number  of  those  symbols  also  brings out problems that show their appreciation by dif-ferent regions. We do not pretend that there is an equal-ity  in  number  between  regions.  There  are  differences  and there have to be. Those are related to the number of events or persons that one or the other region has to be commemorated.
An error event sensitive trade-off between rate and coding gain in MIMO MAC

description: This work considers space-time block coding for the Rayleigh fading multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiple access channel (MAC). If we suppose that the receiver is performing joint maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding, optimizing a MIMO MAC code against a fixed error event leads to a situation where the joint codewords of the users in error can be seen as a single user MIMO code. In such a case pair-wise error probability (PEP) based determinant criterion of Tarokh et al. can be used to upper bound the error probability. It was already proven by Lahtonen et al. that irrespective of the used codes the determinants of the differences of codewords of the overall codematrices will decay as a function of the rates of the users. This work will study this decay phenomenon further and derive upper bounds for the decay of determinants corresponding any error event. Lower bounds for the optimal decay are studied by constructions based on algebraic number theory and Diophantine approximation. For some error profiles the constructed codes will be proven to be optimal. While the perspective of the paper is that of PEP, the final part of the paper proves how the achieved decay results can be turned into statements about the diversity-multiplexing gain trade-off (DMT).

title: Comparison of ecosystem models of the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelf and Grand Banks

description: Ecosystem models are tools that can provide strategic ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) advice by accounting for the influence of environmental drivers and food-web interactions on fish stocks. Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) is an ecosystem modelling platform that uses a mass-balance approach to estimate ecosystem dynamics. Existing EwE models cover the Newfoundland & Labrador Shelf and Grand Banks for 1985-1987 and 2013-2015 time periods, representing ecologically significant time periods for the region. To provide higher spatial resolution to the existing models, I separated the single model area into two for the Newfoundland & Labrador Shelf and the Grand Banks and updated the models for the 2018-2020 time period. Evidence of a strong bottom-up influence from environmental drivers demonstrated that the two model regions are distinct in ecosystem structure and function, with variable temporal dynamics. Comparisons of the system across all three time periods provided insight into ecosystem dynamics. Primary/secondary production had increased since 2013-2015 in both areas, as well as groundfish abundance, but neither were above pre-groundfish collapse (before the early 1990’s) levels. Species composition and biomass was noticeably different between the northern and southern regions, as well as catch composition. Forage fish biomass did not show signs of recovery in either system, and may play key roles in predicting outcomes for the system in the near future.
