Physics-based simulation and reliability modeling for multi-objective optimization of advanced cutting tools in machining titanium alloys
Creators: name: Sima, Mohammad

Year: 2015

description: Titanium alloys are widely used in various industries due to their superior characteristics such as high strength-to-weight ratio, toughness, corrosion resistance and bio-compatibility. Ti-6Al-4V is the most commonly used titanium alloy and considered as difficult-to-cut because of its low thermal conductivity, high chemical reactivity with cutting tool materials at elevated temperatures, and low modulus of elasticity. Therefore, rapid tool wear and poor surface quality are the issues in machining of this alloy. Hence, selecting appropriate cutting conditions (cutting speed, uncut chip thickness, depth of cut, etc.), tool materials, coatings, and geometry are essential not only to increase productivity and decrease the costs, but also to obtain a desirable surface integrity.   Initially, a modified constitutive model was proposed for Ti-6Al-4V which is able to predict the behavior under high strains and temperatures. Since workpiece experiences high strain, strain rate at elevated temperatures during machining, it is important to develop a material model that captures material behavior at these conditions. Using this material model, two dimensional finite element simulations were designed to predict machining forces and serrated chip geometry and results were validated with experiments. This verified material model was used in three dimensional finite element simulations to predict tool wear, temperature, stress and strain distributions. Effects of different cutting tool materials, coatings (TiAlN and cBN), geometry and machining process parameters were investigated. A reliability model for different types of cutting tools is created with experimental and physics-based data. Furthermore, using genetic algorithms, a multi-objective optimization problem was designed and solved to find the optimal process parameters (cutting speed and feed) and cutting tool selection in order to maximize reliability and machining efficiency. Finally, validation experiments were conducted to measure tool wear on uncoated and TiAlN coated inserts under the optimum cutting conditions with expected reliability rating. The results indicate that there is an adequate agreement and the discrepancy may be related to model uncertainty and stochastic nature of the tool wear.

Hydrazine disproportionation catalyzed by pincer rhodium complexes
Creators: name: Song, Jia
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: In order to achieve the process from nitrogen and hydrogen to ammonia under mild conditions thus save energy cost, possible intermediates have to be located and good catalysts need to be found. Hydrazine (N2H4) is believed to be one of the intermediates in this process.  This thesis aims to find a comparatively good catalyst towards hydrazine to establish a potential catalytic nitrogen fixation cycle.  At the very beginning of this project, a preliminary screening was done to locate a potentially good catalyst towards hydrazine. The pincer rhodium fragment gave promising result: disproportionation ratio products (N2 and NH3) were achieved in comparatively short time under room temperature.   A mechanism of this disproportionation reaction was then calculated. It contains of two pathways: hydrogenation and dehydrogenation. The calculated barriers show that dehydrogenation should be slower than hydrogenation. Thus the supply of hydrogen to the hydrogenation pathway is constrained. Reactions under hydrogen atmosphere proved this result. And also, kinetic studies were done to partially prove the calculated mechanism.  When the reaction was carried out with pincer rhodium hydridochloride as the catalyst precursor, base (NaOtBu) was needed to provide the 14 electron speices to start the catalytic cycle. It was found that reactions under more base gave less ammonia with similar reaction rate. This means hydrogenation pathway was hindered under basic condition.  Then reactions with substituted hydrazines were done to stop the reaction at the diazene stage to prove the calculated dehydrogenation pathway. In these reactions, C-H activation and double N-H activation on the same nitrogen atom were observed.

A prospective examination of self-compassion as a predictor of depressive symptoms in children and adolescents
Creators: name: Stolow, Darren
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: The current longitudinal study examined self-compassion as a predictor of depressive symptoms in children and adolescents using a two time-point design. In addition, the factor structure, reliability, and validity of a version of the Self-Compassion Scale (Neff, 2003a) revised for children were assessed. Self-criticism and self-esteem were also tested as predictors of depressive symptoms to assess for unique effects of self-compassion. During an initial assessment, participants completed measures of depressive symptoms, self-compassion, self-criticism, and self-esteem. Participants subsequently completed a measure of depressive symptoms three months later. Two self-compassion factors emerged from our factor analysis, each showing good reliability and significant cross-sectional relationships with depressive symptoms. However, only the factor comprised of items from the positively-worded self-kindness, common humanity and mindfulness subscales of the revised SCS (SCS-POS) predicted change in depressive symptoms from Time1 to Time 2. More specifically, higher levels of SCS-POS were associated with greater decreases in depressive symptoms over time. The factor comprised of items from the negatively-worded self-judgment, isolation, and over-identification subscales (SCS-NEG) did not predict change in depressive symptoms, nor did self-criticism. When tested simultaneously, the effects of SCS-POS and self-esteem on change in depressive symptoms were reduced in size but remained close to statistical significance (p < .10), suggesting that they are related, yet distinct constructs in the context of depressive symptoms in children and adolescents.

Active travel safety

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Little research on children’s mode of travel had been completed until Safe Routes to School became a widespread program in the 1990s. Since then, active travel has been shown to influence children’s current health status, in addition to their future health and wellbeing. Long run benefits arise because past behaviors influence future behaviors, and many habits created in childhood can last a lifetime. Many studies have reported parental perceptions, barriers and facilitators to active travel when considering how their children will travel to school. However, very little research has addressed children’s perceptions of the built and social environment or components of environmental and personal safety. Children’s perceptions, particularly those of safety and their environment, may be an important link to not only their present health and travel behaviors, but also their health and behaviors in the future.   Perceptions have been studied primarily through caregiver surveys, with few studies talking to or surveying children themselves. Youth may have different perceptions, additional concerns, or ideas to improve safety, all of which may influence their current travel mode or route, and their travel habits into the future. Notably, few studies of parents and fewer of students have used qualitative methods to gain a deeper understanding, rationale, or description of safety concerns and potential improvements to safety. The research presented here goes beyond prior work by providing both quantitative models and qualitative analyses from middle school students, to better understand perceptions of safety in the built and social environment. This dissertation poses two broad research questions. First, what are students’ perceptions of safety in the built and social environment as they relate to mode choice? And do students’ perceptions of safety vary based on demographics? Second, what are parents and children’s perceptions of the built and social environment, specifically regarding their child’s trip to and from school? Why? Are parents and students’ perceptions different? If so, how so?

All of the job searching tools operate in a similar way, users filter the postings through the use of keywords. Postings matching the keywords are displayed as a list and the user is required to read through this list one by one. However, there are many other ways to display text-based data. In this thesis, we explore the use of other types of information visualization techniques that would be appropriate for this type of data. We have developed a new visualization especially for student-based job searches and have applied our results to data from the Rutgers Career Knight Portal.

description: We investigate whether climate activism favors pro-environmental consumption by examining the impact of Fridays for Future (FFF) protests in Italy on second-hand automobile sales in rally-affected areas. Leveraging data on 10 million automobile transactions occurring before and after FFF mobilizations, we exploit rainfall on the day of the event as an exogenous source of attendance variation. Our findings reveal a reduction in both the total number of cars purchased and their average CO2 emissions, with an uptick in the market share of low-emission vehicles and a corresponding decrease in the market share of high-emission counterparts. We test for two potential mechanisms at work: one mediated by an increase in environmental awareness, the other induced by a rational anticipation of future stricter regulations. Empirical evidence suggests that the latter mechanism is generally more pronounced than the former. However, the first channel seems likely to be at work among individuals aged 18-25, a group that is potentially more involved in the FFF movement.
Essays in bankruptcy and firm finance

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This dissertation investigates the role that capital market imperfections play in shaping the behavior of firms along several dimensions: capital structure, investment policies, bankruptcy decisions and life-cycle dynamics. The dissertation puts together two separate but closely related papers, both of which are concerned with bankruptcy and firm financing under asymmetric information and limited enforcement.      In Chapter 2, I present a model of firm finance that encompasses imperfect investor protection, risk aversion and costly state verification. Imperfect investor protection is introduced through the limited liability clause of the financial contract, and captures the maximum fraction of returns that the investor can seize from the entrepreneur. A positive lower bound on consumption then interacts with entrepreneurial risk aversion in non-trivial ways. I characterize optimal contracts and study the conditions under which standard debt is optimal. Under suitable assumptions about the structure of the problem, standard debt contracts (SDCs) are optimal if and only if investor protection is sufficiently low. On the other hand, low investor protection results in higher funding costs and bankruptcy probabilities. In my setting, this implies that when SDCs are optimal, lowering investor protection reduces the entrepreneur's welfare. Numerical examples show that moderate changes in investor protection can have large effects on the terms of the contract and on the entrepreneur's welfare. Finally, I study the role of leverage and consider the welfare consequences suboptimally implementing standard debt contracts.      In Chapter 3 I study firm dynamics and industry equilibrium when firms under financial distress face a non-trivial choice between alternative bankruptcy procedures. Given limited commitment and asymmetric information, financial contracts specify default, renegotiation and reorganization policies. Default occurs in equilibrium and leads to either liquidation or renegotiation. Renegotiation entails a redistribution of social surplus, while reorganization takes the form of enhanced creditor monitoring. Firms with better contract histories are less likely to default, but, contingent on default, firms with better outside options successfully renegotiate, in line with the empirical evidence. Unless monitoring is too costly, renegotiation leads to reorganization, which resembles actual bankruptcy practice. I calibrate the model to match certain aspects of the data on bankruptcy and firm dynamics in the U.S. My counterfactual experiments show that, compared with an economy with liquidation only, the rehabilitation of firms (renegotiation and reorganization) has a sizable negative effect on exit rates and size dispersion, and positive effects on average size and productivity.
Acoustic and elastic waves in metamaterials for underwater applications
Creators: name: Titovich, Alexey S.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Elastic effects in acoustic metamaterials are investigated. Water-based periodic arrays of elastic scatterers, sonic crystals, suffer from low transmission due to the impedance and index mismatch of typical engineering materials with water. A new type of acoustic metamaterial element is proposed that can be tuned to match the acoustic properties of water in the quasi-static regime. The element comprises a hollow elastic cylindrical shell fitted with an optimized internal substructure consisting of a central mass supported by an axisymmetric distribution of elastic stiffeners, which dictate the shell’s effective bulk modulus and density. The derived closed form scattering solution for this system shows that the subsonic flexural waves excited in the shell by the attachment of stiffeners are  suppressed by including a sufficiently large number of such stiffeners. As an example of refraction-based wave steering, a cylindrical-to-plane wave lens is designed by varying the bulk modulus in the array according to the conformal mapping of a unit circle to a square.     Elastic shells provide rich scattering properties, mainly due to their ability to support highly dispersive flexural waves. Analysis of flexural-borne waves on a pair of shells yields an analytical expression for the width of a flexural resonance, which is then used with the theory of multiple scattering to accurately predict the splitting of the resonance frequency. This analysis leads to the discovery of the acoustic Poisson-like effect in a periodic wave medium. This effect redirects an incident acoustic wave by 90◦ in an otherwise acoustically transparent sonic crystal. An unresponsive “deaf” antisymmetric mode locked to band gap boundaries is unlocked by matching Bragg scattering with a quadrupole flexural resonance of the shell. The dynamic effect causes normal unidirectional wave motion to strongly couple to perpendicular motion, analogous to the quasi-static Poisson effect in solids. The Poisson-like effect is demonstrated using the first flexural resonance of an acrylic shell. This represent a new type of material which cannot be accurately described as an effective acoustic medium. The study concludes with an analysis of a non-zero shear modulus in a pentamode cloak via the two-scale method with the shear modulus as the perturbation parameter.

Hepatic triglyceride metabolism in response to acute and chronic exercise
Creators: name: Tuazon, Marc A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Impaired hepatic triglyceride (TG) metabolism is associated with dysfunctions such as insulin resistance and elevated VLDL-TG secretion.  Chronic exercise lowers plasma TG and hepatic TG, however, many benefits of chronic exercise are due to repeated effects of single exercise sessions.  Little is known, however, about effects of acute exercise on hepatic TG metabolism or the influence of exercise intensity in males vs. females.  We examined impacts of single bouts of moderate-intensity continuous exercise (CE) vs. high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) on hepatic TG metabolism and secretion in mice of both sexes.  Hepatic TG was transiently increased on the day of exercise and in females the increase was greater with HIIE.  These exercise-related changes appeared driven by enhanced transcription of the lipid-droplet coating protein Perilipin 2.  On the day after exercise, VLDL-TG secretion rate was only reduced by HIIE in females.  These findings demonstrated intensity-dependent and sex-specific effects of acute exercise.    Because of our findings that single bouts of HIIE alter hepatic TG metabolism more than CE and the potential for chronic exercise to attenuate severity of complications associated with menopause, we compared 6 weeks of training using these exercise types on hepatic TG metabolism and secretion, glucose tolerance, body composition, and strength in ovariectomized (OVX) and sham-operated (SHAM) mice.  Additionally, we measured energy expenditure and substrate oxidation during and immediately after exercise and assessed post-exercise spontaneous physical activity (SPA) to further characterize these exercise modalities.  In OVX and SHAM, CE and HIIE elicited similar energy expenditures during exercise and in the post-exercise period lowered absolute carbohydrate oxidation and SPA.  OVX vs. SHAM displayed impaired glucose tolerance, elevated blood glucose, and greater body fat despite lower hepatic TG, as well as lower strength, and these outcomes were not affected by training.  In contrast to responses to single exercise sessions, chronic HIIE increased hepatic AMPK protein.  Further, the reduction in VLDL-TG secretion after a single HIIE session was not maintained after training.  These results reveal intensity-dependent effects of habitual exercise on hepatic AMPK expression and with our findings of single bouts reveal distinct responses in hepatic TG metabolism to acute vs. chronic exercise.

description: Urban agriculture is becoming increasingly important in developed and developing countries that are experiencing serious environmental and social problems. As a developing country, Turkey has faced some environmental, social and economic issues in urban areas with typically irregular industrialization and urbanization processes since the 1950s. In this study, community gardening, as one of the urban agriculture practices, was evaluated as a tool for sustainable urban development in the Izmir Metropolitan area in Turkey. The potential of existing community gardens was investigated with two case study sites in Bornova and Buca regarding social, economic and environmental qualities of the region. A mixed method approach incorporates historical research, interviews, and diagramming. After the evaluation of findings from site observations, open discussions and interviews, the data was used to illustrate conceptual community garden network in Izmir.
Experimental investigation of minichannel heat sinks for electronic cooling applications

description: Several novel methods of fabricating heat sinks have been developed in recent years, with complicated profiles. However, in this study, we focus on the conventional machining technique to fabricate simple, geometrically enhanced heat sink with readily available, less expensive, liquid such as distilled water, which still have potential to be explored further. There has been a lot of work done with heat sinks on the mini scale (diameter often to the order of 1 mm). So it was decided to explore some simple geometries of heat sinks with available tools for machining. The heat sink material was chosen as brass. Three different straight channel heat sinks were fabricated, using conventional milling process, of width 2 mm, 3 mm and 4 mm, respectively. The height of the channel is kept constant at 4mm. The heat generated by an electronic component was simulated by an Omega Kapton flexible heater. At a heat power of 12 W, the lowest heat sink base temperature was achieved using the 2mm heat sink. Also, the pressure drop across the heat sink has been reported. The temperature drop across the heat sink has been reported and it has been found to be maximum for a heat sink with 2 mm fin spacing. Base temperature of the heat sink was found to decrease by reducing the width of the channels and by increasing the flow rate of distilled water over a period of time. It can be concluded from the experimental investigation that the geometrically enhanced heat sinks manufactured using conventional methods is comparatively less expensive.

The influence of carbohydrate requirements on Asian tiger mosquito behavior and fitness

description: Successful and sustainable mosquito control is not possible without knowledge of the species’ biology. We must understand the factors affecting mosquito fitness before we can hope to reduce it. Sugar-feeding behavior was once neglected in the literature, but has now emerged as a significant influence on mosquito fitness. I chose to investigate multiple aspects of sugar-feeding behavior in the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus.  This mosquito is of increasing concern due to its aggressive invasive nature and vector status.   In Chapter 1, I examine the effect of diapause cues on female dietary choices. Diapause cues affected female food choice, particularly the initial choice. Long-day females were three times more likely to choose blood at their first feeding opportunity. The frequency of sugar meals was also altered by treatment with short-day females exhibiting a 33% increase. These findings may be beneficial to mosquito control efforts, particularly those based upon sugar attractants.   In Chapter 2, I investigate the importance of sugar availability for adult male mating success. Males provisioned with sugar for long periods after eclosion experience greater longevity, greater sperm transfer, and mated with more females over their lifetime. Therefore, I suggest that sterile male release initiatives might consider provisioning adult males for multiple days before release.   In Chapter 3, I explore the effect of the adult male diet on their offspring. While there was no change in the fecundity of the male parent, there was a significant change in offspring development time and size. In both sexes pupation time and eclosion time were significantly longer in offspring of starved males. Unexpectedly, female offspring of starved males had longer wing lengths than those fathered by males with access to sucrose. I developed a mathematical model to examine whether the paternal effect I observed might increase offspring fitness under certain conditions. The model demonstrated that offspring benefit from paternal signals when they experience poor sugar resources as adults. This highlights the existence of environmentally mediated paternal effects in mosquitoes, and more broadly in insects, suggesting that male environment needs to be taken into account when control measures seek to alter environmental conditions.

Relation of conformational and dynamic differences in collagen sequences to alpha2I domain integrin binding affinity
Creators: name: Wang, Jacky
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: The α2I domain of integrin has been identified to bind to the recognition motifs in collagen, GFOGER and GAOGER, with the former having a higher binding affinity than the latter. Here we employ nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy to study the structural differences between the GFOGER and GAOGER collagen model peptides (CMP) triple helices. As a consequence of the limitations from using synthetic CMPs, we have also used recombinant collagen proteins expressed from E. coli as a way to efficiently screen mutations in CMPs and provide a platform to probe binding affinities using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results from this work show that the residues in GAOGER and GFOGER triple helices have few differences in dynamics, however dynamics between strands in a collagen triple helix may play a role in modulation of binding affinity.  Attempts at more efficient analysis of varying CMPs using recombinant proteins have yielded us fusion proteins that can be used with enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay and produce recombinant CMPs.

Diagnosis. This species is characterized by the forewing having several longitudinal rows of ocherous brown scales except at base of the cell. Ypsolopha yangi is similar to Y. horridella (Treitschke) in facies, but differs in the forewing with rounded apex, which is triangularly protruded in the latter species. Ypsolopha yangi is also similar to Y. leuconotella (Snellen) in genitalia, but differs in the socius parallel-sided on the basal 3/ 4 in the male genitalia (Fig. 120), and the ductus bursae sparsely granulous before the inception of the ductus seminalis in the female genitalia (Fig. 168); whereas the male socius is dilated at middle, and the female ductus bursae is granulous throughout in the latter species.
Distribution. China (Beijing, Hebei, Ningxia, Qinghai, Sichuan), Russia (Far East).

Remark. In the original description, Elwes (1890) mentioned two specimens, female and a probable male. We did not find the male syntype in the NHMUK collection. To avoid any confusion in the future, here we designate the female specimen deposited in NHMUK and labeled as ‘type’ as lectotype.
Diagnosis. Forewing length is 8.5–9 mm in males and 11–11.5 mm in females. Cyana harterti is a sister species of C. flavalba (Rothschild, 1912) (Figs 70, 71) distributed in Malay Peninsula, S and SE Thailand and Cambodia (Černý & Pinratana 2009; Bayarsaikhan & Bae 2016). These species have no external differences and can be iden- tified by the genitalia structures only. In the male genitalia, C. harterti differs from C. flavalba (Fig. 192) by its smaller cornuti of the subbasal lateral and ventral clusters, and slightly larger cornuti of the distal cluster. Compared to those of C. flavalba (Fig. 261), the female genitalia of C. harterti have the longer posterior sclerotized section of corpus bursae, and the slightly longer and broader appendix bursae.
Distribution. North East India (Assam, Meghalaya and Mizoram) (Singh et al. 2014), South and South East China (Hampson 1900), North Thailand (Černý & Pinratana 2009, as C. flavalba (part)) and Japan (Ryukyu, Okinawa and Iriomote islands) (Inoue 1965).

Topological structural vortices in multiferroic hexagonal manganites
Creators: name: Wang, Xueyun
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This dissertation seeks to understand ferroelectric domains, which can be viewed as networks of topological structural vortices, in a new class of materials called multiferroic hexagonal manganites RMnO3 (h-RMnO3) with R = rare earths, Y, In and Sc. From an experimental standpoint with solid theoretical background, we will briefly introduce improper ferroelectricity and topological defects in general in chapter 1. Then we start our discussion by reviewing the origin of the topological defect (vortex) in multiferroic material (h-RMnO3) and its self-organized domain network, which will act to motivate the work. We will also discuss the origin of self electric poling effect, self-organized criticality (SOC), and a rare phenomenon - vortex core fragmentation in chapter 2. This will be followed by chapter 3 which mainly discusses the manipulation of topological vortex by applying an external shear strain. The force on vortices in h-RMnO3 generated by shear strain is analogous to the Magnus force that moves superfluid vortices in the direction transverse to the superfluid current. Chapter 4 starts with a brief introduction to the Kibble-Zurek Mechanism (KZM), which is the theoretical background of the connection between cosmology and condensed matter physics. It turns out that multiferroic h-RMnO3 is an excellent test bed for KZM through the study of defect formation, emergent continuous symmetry, and Higgs condensation of the disorder field. In the remaining chapter, we extend our scope from the standard vortex to its "dual description" --partially undistorted antipolar (PUA) vortex. Then we will end this dissertation with a summary of the results and future research directions, which actually open a new path to understand the fundamental properties of this new class of materials.
