description: NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.

An experimental investigation of single-shielded hypersonic stagnation temperature probes was conducted in the GALCIT Leg No.1 hypersonic wind tunnel and in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory 12-inch supersonic wind tunnel.

By the combined use of both shield and base heating, a probe recovery factor of r = 1.0 was obtained over a range of Reynolds numbers at M [...] = 5.75.  By using the experimental data and simple heat balance equations, the probe losses, for the conditions investigated, were found to be in the proportion: shield conduction loss - 15; base conduction loss - 3; thermocouple conduction loss - 1; thermocouple radiation loss - 3/100. The typical decrease in probe recovery factor observed for decreasing Reynolds number appears to be related to a decrease in the base temperature and not to the wire conduction loss as commonly assumed.

An optimum probe vent to entrance area ratio of [...] was found and is shown to be a function of the number of vent holes used in the shield.

No single calibration parameter was found that could relate the experimental recovery factors under all conditions.
Contribution of defects to the spin relaxation in copper nanowires

description: The contributions to the spin relaxation in copper (Cu) nanowires are quantified by carefully analyzing measurements of both charge and spin transport in lateral spin valves as a function of temperature and thickness. The temperature dependence of the spin-flip scattering solely arises from the scattering with phonons, as in bulk Cu, whereas we identify grain boundaries as the main temperature-independent contribution of the defects in the nanowires. A puzzling maximum in the spin diffusion length of Cu at low temperatures is found, which can be explained by the presence of magnetic impurities. The results presented here suggest routes for improving spin transport in metallic nanostructures, otherwise limited by confinement effects.

A CHEBYSHEV COLLOCATION TECHNIQUE FOR THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF VOLTERRA INTEGRAL EQUATIONS WITH APPLICATION TO VISCOELASTIC PROBLEM
Creators: name: Alimi, Boluwatife
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Accurate modeling of viscoelasticity remains an important consideration for a variety of materials. As such, over the previous decades a substantial body of work has been dedicated to developing appropriate constitutive models for viscoelasticity. The Volterra integral equations arising from viscoelasticity have proven to be very difficult to solve directly, hence, the need for an accurate numerical method of solving them. This project presents a technique that converts a Volterra integral equation into a system of equations using shifted Chebyshev polynomials on [0, 1] as basis function, it is tested on the Volterra integral equation arising from a viscoelastic model and produced an accurate result. Examples are given to explain the method of solution.

description: A mixture of relativistic gases of non-disparate rest masses in a Schwarzschild metric is studied on the basis of a relativistic Boltzmann equation in the presence of gravitational fields. A BGK-type model equation of the collision operator of the Boltzmann equation is used in order to compute the non-equilibrium distribution functions by the Chapman-Enskog method. The main focus of this work is to obtain Fick's law without the thermal-diffusion cross-effect. Fick's law has four contributions, two of them are the usual terms proportional to the gradients of concentration and pressure. The other two are of the same nature as those which appears in Fourier's law in the presence of gravitational fields and are related with an acceleration and gravitational potential gradient, but unlike Fourier's law these two last terms are of non-relativistic order. Furthermore, it is shown that the coefficients of diffusion depend on the gravitational potential and they become larger than those in the absence of it.

description: The ongoing interest of researchers in bioderived polylactide (PLA) is due to the current tendency to replace petroleum-based plastics with polymers from renewable resources. Polylactide fits this trend because of its mechanical properties resembling those of some petroleum-based polymers commonly applied in daily life and because of its degradability. Added value is the excellent biocompatibility of PLA thanks to which it has found an application in biomedicine. This great interest in polylactide is reflected in the literature. Crosslinking of polylactide was also studied by many authors as an easy method of the improvement and the modification of its properties (thermal, mechanical, rheological, degradability) according to requirements of existing or possible applications. In the present review, the examples of polylactide and its copolymers crosslinking by chemical approaches described in the literature are presented. Thus, chemical methods including peroxide-induced radical crosslinking and crosslinking by coupling of functional PLA prepolymers via condensation/addition reactions are discussed. The results of PLA modification and examples of new, interesting materials obtained via different crosslinking methods are shown.

description: We explore the scattering properties of ultracold ground-state Cs atoms at magnetic fields between 450 G (45 mT) and 1000 G. We identify 17 new Feshbach resonances, including two very broad ones near 549 G and 787 G. We measure the binding energies of several different dimer states by magnetic field modulation spectroscopy. We use least-squares fitting to these experimental results, together with previous measurements at lower field, to determine a new 6-parameter model of the long-range interaction potential, designated M2012. Coupled-channels calculations using M2012 provide an accurate mapping between the s-wave scattering length and the magnetic field over the entire range of fields considered. This mapping is crucial for experiments that rely on precise tuning of the scattering length, such as those on Efimov physics.

description: Hereditarily finite sets can be constructed by the rules "construct 0" and "from a and b construct a{b}". For short we write {a,b,c} for 0{a}{b}{c}, e.g. Those sets together with the element relation satisfy the axioms of ZFC without the axiom of infinity. Certain of those sets can be considered to be natural numbers. We investigate an obviously consistent rule system which, however, is not a formal one. It containes a rule with infinitely many premises. By the rules of that system there is deducible the theory of hereditarily finite sets. From this result and a theorem of Jaques Herbrand it follows that a weakened version, zfc*, of ZFC is consistent. By an axiom of it there exists a set containing all natural numbers at least. From zfc* we infer some elementary facts of nonstandard analysis and also consider delta functions.

description: We study the interplay of global attractive coupling and individual noise in a system of identical active rotators in the excitable regime. Performing a numerical bifurcation analysis of the nonlocal nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation for the thermodynamic limit, we identify a complex bifurcation scenario with regions of different dynamical regimes, including collective oscillations and coexistence of states with different levels of activity. In systems of finite size this leads to additional dynamical features, such as collective excitability of different types, noise-induced switching and bursting. Moreover, we show how characteristic quantities such as macroscopic and microscopic variability of inter spike intervals can depend in a non-monotonous way on the noise level.

description: Extreme-mass-ratio bursts (EMRBs) are a class of potentially interesting gravitational wave signals. They are produced when a compact object passes through periapsis on a highly eccentric orbit about a much more massive object; we consider stellar mass objects orbiting the massive black holes (MBHs) found in galactic centres. Such a system may emit many EMRBs before eventually completing the inspiral. There are several nearby galaxies that could yield detectable bursts. For a space-borne interferometer like the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, sensitivity is greatest for EMRBs from MBHs of ~10^6-10^7 solar masses, which could be detected out to ~100 Mpc. Considering the examples of M32, NGC 4945 and NGC 4395 we investigate if extragalactic EMRB signals can provide information about their sources. This is possible, but only if the periapse radius of the orbit is small, of the order of r_p < 8 r_g, where r_g = GM/c^2 is the gravitational radius of the MBH. This limits the utility of EMRBs as an astronomical tool. However, if we are lucky, we could place constraints on the mass and spin of nearby MBHs with 1% precision.

description: A new series of cycloplatinated (II) complexes with general formulas of [Pt (bhq)(N3)(P)] [bhq = deprotonated 7,8-benzo[h]quinoline, P = triphenyl phosphine (PPh3) and methyldiphenyl phosphine], [Pt (bhq)(P^P)]N3 [P^P = 1,1-bis (diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm) and 1,2-bis (diphenylphosphino)ethane] and [Pt2(bhq)2(μ-P^P)(N3)2] [P^P = dppm and 1,2-bis (diphenylphosphino)acetylene] is reported in this investigation. A combination of azide (N3−) and phosphine (monodentate and bidentate) was used as ancillary ligands to study their influences on the chromophoric cyclometalated ligand. All complexes were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. To confirm the presence of the N3− ligand directly connected to the platinum center, complex [Pt (bhq)(N3)(PPh3)] was further characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The photophysical properties of the new products were studied by UV–Vis spectroscopy in CH2Cl2 and photoluminescence spectroscopy in solid state (298 or 77 K) and in solution (77 K). Using density functional theory calculations, it was proved that, in addition to intraligand charge-transfer (ILCT) and metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) transitions, the L′LCT (L′ = N3, L = C^N) electronic transition has a remarkable contribution in low energy bands of the absorption spectra (for complexes [Pt (bhq)(N3)(P)] and [Pt2(bhq)2(μ-P^P)(N3)2]). It is indicative of the determining role of the N3− ligand in electronic transitions of these complexes, specifically in the low energy region. In this regard, the photoluminescence studies indicated that the emissions in such complexes originate from a mixed 3ILCT/3MLCT (intramolecular) and also from aggregations (intermolecular).

description: We present a fully self-consistent simulation of a synthetic survey of the furthermost cosmic explosions. The appearance of the first generation of stars (Population III) in the Universe represents a critical point during cosmic evolution, signaling the end of the dark ages, a period of absence of light sources. Despite their importance, there is no confirmed detection of Population III stars so far. A fraction of these primordial stars are expected to die as pair-instability supernovae (PISNe), and should be bright enough to be observed up to a few hundred million years after the big bang. While the quest for Population III stars continues, detailed theoretical models and computer simulations serve as a testbed for their observability. With the upcoming near-infrared missions, estimates of the feasibility of detecting PISNe are not only timely but imperative. To address this problem, we combine state-of-the-art cosmological and radiative simulations into a complete and self-consistent framework, which includes detailed features of the observational process. We show that a dedicated observational strategy using $\lesssim 8$ per cent of total allocation time of the James Webb Space Telescope mission can provide us up to $\sim 9-15$ detectable PISNe per year.

description: This PhD by Publication consists of two parts: a selection of my published outputs and this accompanying critical reflection. My published works include my debut novel, The Shock of the Fall, my subsequent nonfiction book, The Heartland: Finding and Losing Schizophrenia (also published as This Book Will Change Your Mind About Mental Health), and my recent podcast series, Why Do I Feel? The critical reflection exammes these works in the context of their contribution to contemporary discourse about mental illness and trauma, aspects of human experience that I have sought to better understand throughout my professional career, not only as a writer but as a mental health nurse. It demonstrates how, by working across multiple creative forms, I have been able to advance and deepen my knowledge of this subject and bring meaningful insights into the public domain. Guiding this inquiry is a question: How can we tell stories that honour the unyielding complexity of mental illness and trauma while remaining alert to the challenges of engaging a general audience? I address this in two chapters. The first focuses on my fiction and interrogates the creative and ethical choices that shaped my novel. The second considers my nonfiction in prose and audio. Throughout the essay, I draw from seminal works in the field that have informed my writing, present original interview material, and evaluate mental health theory and practice.

description: We report the experimental measurement of bipartite quantum correlations of an unknown two-qubit state. Using a liquid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) setup and employing geometric discord, we evaluate the quantum correlations of a state without resorting to prior knowledge of its density matrix. The method is applicable to any (2 x d) system and provides, in terms of number of measurements required, an advantage over full state tomography scaling with the dimension d of the unmeasured subsystem. The negativity of quantumness is measured as well for reference. We also observe the phenomenon of sudden transition of quantum correlations when local phase and amplitude damping channels are applied to the state.

description: The proliferation of the Internet and sensor networks has fueled the development of applications that process, analyze, and react to continuous data streams in a near-real-time manner. Examples of such stream applications include network traffic monitoring, intrusion detection, financial services, large-scale reconnaissance, and surveillance.

Unlike tasks in traditional scheduling problems, these stream processing applications are interacting repeating tasks, where iterations of computation are triggered by the arrival of new inputs. Furthermore, these repeated tasks are elastic in the quality of service, and the economic value of a computation depends on the time taken to execute it; for example, an arbitrage opportunity can disappear in seconds. Given limited resources, it is not possible to process all streams without delay. The more resource available to a computation, the less time it takes to process the input, and thus the more value it generates. Therefore, efficiently utilizing a network of limited distributed resources to optimize the net economic value of computations forms a new paradigm in the well-studied field of resource allocation.

We propose using a new performance model and resource reservation system as the solution space, and present two scheduling/resource allocation heuristics for processing streams in a distributed heterogenous computing environment to optimize economic value. Both heuristics are based on market mechanisms; one uses a centralized market and the other decentralized markets. We prove bounds on performance and present measurements to show that the performances of these two heuristics are near-optimal and significantly better than straightforward load-balancing heuristics.

description: The understanding of linguistic messages can be made extremely complex by the simultaneous presence of interfering sounds, especially when they are also linguistic in nature. In two experiments, we tested if visual cues directing attention to spatial or temporal components of speech in noise can improve its identification. The hearing-in-noise task required identification of a five-digit sequence (target) embedded in a stream of time-reversed speech. Using a custom-built device located in front of the participant, we delivered visual cues to orient attention to the location of target sounds and/or their temporal window. In Exp. 1 (n = 14), we validated this visual-to-auditory cueing method in normal-hearing listeners, tested under typical binaural listening conditions. In Exp. 2 (n = 13), we assessed the efficacy of the same visual cues in normal-hearing listeners wearing a monaural ear plug, to study the effects of simulated monaural and conductive hearing loss on visual-to-auditory attention orienting. While Exp. 1 revealed a benefit of both spatial and temporal visual cues for hearing in noise, Exp. 2 showed that only the temporal visual cues remained effective during monaural listening. These findings indicate that when the acoustic experience is altered, visual-to-auditory attention orienting is more robust for temporal compared to spatial attributes of the auditory stimuli. These findings have implications for the relation between spatial and temporal attributes of sound objects, and when planning devices to orient audiovisual attention for subjects suffering from hearing loss.

description: Recent developments suggest both plausible fabrication techniques and viable architectures for building sublithographic Programmable Logic Arrays using molecular-scale wires and switches.  Designs at this scale will see much higher defect rates than in conventional lithography.  However, these defects need not be an impediment to programmable logic design at this scale.

We introduce a strategy for tolerating defective crosspoints in PLA architecture. We develop a linear-time, greedy algorithm for mapping PLA logic around crosspoint defects. The mapping algorithm matches the PLA logic to the defect configuration of each device.

We note that P-term fanin must be bounded to guarantee low overhead mapping and develop analytical guidelines for bounding fanin. We further quantify analytical and empirical mapping overhead rates. Including fanin bounding, our greedy mapping algorithm maps a large set of benchmark designs with 13% average overhead for random junction defect rates as high as 20%.

description: In this paper, we propose a digital semantic feature division multiple access (SFDMA) paradigm in multi-user broadcast (BC) networks for the inference and the image reconstruction tasks. In this SFDMA scheme, the multi-user semantic information is encoded into discrete approximately orthogonal representations, and the encoded semantic features of multiple users can be simultaneously transmitted in the same time-frequency resource. Specifically, for inference tasks, we design a SFDMA digital BC network based on robust information bottleneck (RIB), which can achieve a tradeoff between inference performance, data compression and multi-user interference. Moreover, for image reconstruction tasks, we develop a SFDMA digital BC network by utilizing a Swin Transformer, which significantly reduces multi-user interference. More importantly, SFDMA can protect the privacy of users' semantic information, in which each receiver can only decode its own semantic information. Furthermore, we establish a relationship between performance and signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), which is fitted by an Alpha-Beta-Gamma (ABG) function. Furthermore, an optimal power allocation method is developed for the inference and reconstruction tasks. Extensive simulations verify the effectiveness and superiority of our proposed SFDMA scheme.

description: Classical turnpikes correspond to optimal steady states which are attractors of infinite-horizon optimal control problems. In this paper, motivated by mechanical systems with symmetries, we generalize this concept to manifold turnpikes. Specifically, the necessary optimality conditions projected onto a symmetry-induced manifold coincide with those of a reduced-order problem defined on the manifold under certain conditions. We also propose sufficient conditions for the existence of manifold turnpikes based on a tailored notion of dissipativity with respect to manifolds. Furthermore, we show how the classical Legendre transformation between Euler–Lagrange and Hamilton formalisms can be extended to the adjoint variables. Finally, we draw upon the Kepler problem to illustrate our findings.

description: Ventilation performance and air quality in cleanrooms are affected by several interconnected parameters, and a change in one component can impact the entire system. Furthermore, occupant interactions with the physical environment can influence particle dispersion, disrupt current airflow by introducing new wakes and ultimately decrease ventilation efficacy. As a result, we set up an experimental study to measure the effects of traffic, flowrate and filtration on ventilation performance while a source of contamination was inside the room. Experiments included three types of occupant movements (i.e., NM, WO, WT) and were performed under two different airflow conditions. Three different metrics, namely relative ventilation efficiency ((ϵjt)), decay rate (R) and exposure (γ), were introduced to statistically compare changes in ventilation performance in response to different experimental setups. Decay rates obtained for 0.3-micron particles decreased by up to 50% in the presence of occupants. Lowering cleanroom flowrate due to additional filtering can reduced ventilation effectiveness by almost 50%. Care should be exercised when changing filter efficiency because it can reduce the rate of air supply. These findings are especially intriguing in the context of cleanroom retrofit, as reducing air exchange rates was an unintended consequence of improving filter efficiency.

description: Prefabricated construction (PC) contributes to the sustainability of the construction sector, with higher levels of prefabrication providing better performance in theory. However, enterprises have great expectations for the performance of high prefabrication level technologies (HPLTs) but poor adoption behaviours in practice. To address this issue, this study explored the mechanisms of HPLTs adoption from the enterprise perspective, by complementing an integrated model that combines expectations and the fit between tasks and technologies, based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and the task-technology fit theory. The significance of paths affecting the adoption behaviour toward HPLTs was identified by the partial least squares structural equation modelling. The results show that adoption intention and task-technology fit are excellent predictors of adoption behaviour toward HPLTs. Social influence, facilitating conditions, task-technology fit, effort expectancy and task characteristics positively affect adoption intention, while performance expectancy is not found to influence adoption intention. The mediating effect analysis indicates that social influence currently has the largest indirect effect on adoption behaviour, followed by facilitating conditions and task-technology fit. The findings contribute to building a bridge between the expectations and adoption behaviours of HPLTs, and provide guidance for the effective promotion of HPLTs.
