description: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the long-term settlements for a wide variety of at-grade crossings. Twenty-four highway crossings were monitored to determine the effects of enhanced support on minimizing long-term settlements of the crossing surfaces. Settlements of the rail and highway approaches to the crossing areas were compared to settlements of the common crossing areas over an average service period of three years. Long-term settlements of crossings with traditional all-granular support materials were compared to crossings with enhanced support. The enhanced support was provided by substituting a layer of asphalt (termed underlayment) for the all-granular subballast layer.  The trackbed crossings underlain with asphalt settled 41% of the amount for the all-granular supported trackbed crossings. In addition, the crossing areas underlain with asphalt settled 44% of the abutting allgranular supported track approaches. The statistical t-test validated the significance of the differential findings. Settlements of the all-granular track approaches to the crossings were statistically similar to each other and to the settlements of the all-granular crossing areas.

description: This report provides two analyses for obtaining a quantitative means of rating the condition of railroad‐highway at‐grade crossings based on their measured roughness. Phase One of this report examined 11 crossings in the Lexington area by use of a laser based inertial profiler from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and a Face Rolling Dipstick. Phase Two was a continuation of Phase One with 26 crossings examined using inertial profilers from both the KYTC and the National Center of Asphalt technology. Objective ratings based on rideability were obtained and wheelpath profiles were measured for each crossing. Several roughness indexes were computed from the measured profiles. A correlation between these indexes and subjective rideability ratings were examined in each study. Analysis of the data showed a tendency of objective ratings to decrease as roughness increases. This study found that highway inertial profilers are not an appropriate tool for determining roughness over short distances such as railroad crossings due to their application for testing of longer distances. It is anticipated that this report will be referenced for future research on this topic.

description: We report on the physical properties of solar sequential chromospheric brightenings (SCBs) observed in conjunction with moderate-sized chromospheric flares with associated CMEs. To characterize these ephemeral events, we developed automated procedures to identify and track subsections (kernels) of solar flares and associated SCBs using high resolution H-alpha images. Following the algorithmic identification and a statistical analysis, we compare and find the following: SCBs are distinctly different from flare kernels in their temporal characteristics of intensity, Doppler structure, duration, and location properties. We demonstrate that flare ribbons are themselves made up of subsections exhibiting differing characteristics. Flare kernels are measured to have a mean propagation speed of 0.2 km/s and a maximum speed of 2.3 km/s over a mean distance of 5 x 10^3 km. Within the studied population of SCBs, different classes of characteristics are observed with coincident negative, positive, or both negative and positive Doppler shifts of a few km/s. The appearance of SCBs precede peak flare intensity by ~12 minutes and decay ~1 hour later. They are also found to propagate laterally away from flare center in clusters at 41 km/s or 89 km/s. Given SCBs distinctive nature compared to flares, we suggest a different physical mechanism relating to their origin than the associated flare. We present a heuristic model of the origin of SCBs.

description: The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s Division of Maintenance is responsible for identifying and prioritizing locations in need of guardrail. A procedure used by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet was originally developed by the Kentucky Transportation Center in 1989 and updated in 2002. Based on frequent usage by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet of the guardrail location rating system database, the need was identified to update the existing database and incorporate improved reporting capabilities. The objectives of the research study, as documented herein, were to update and improve the processes for identification of roadway locations that should be considered for installation of guardrail. Primary new features include the following:      Revised crash data reflecting the most recent statistics of run-off-road crashes,     Incorporating the Critical Rate Calculator as the mechanism for obtaining crash data, and     Photographs and descriptive information representative of the Subjective Hazard Rating required for each location being considered for guardrail installations.

description: The paper proposes an algorithm which could identify a general class of pdes describing dynamical systems with similar symmetries. The way that will be followed starts from a given group of symmetries, the determination of the invariants and, then, of the compatible equations of evolution. The algorithm will be exemplified by two classes of equations which describe the Fokker-Planck model and the "backward" Kolgomorov one.

description: There are many ways in which today's readers can express their interest, positive attitude, acknowledgment or tribute to the specific online article. One of the traditional way is to put the article in the reference list, e.g. to cite it in own article. The concept of citation is very old, but recently citations started to be used in the various mathematical formulas, giving us different kind of indicators, very well known as JIF (Journal Impact Factor), SJR (Scimago Journal Rank), Eigenfactor Score, etc. Without intention to diminish the importance of the citations in the peer reviewed journals, channels of the scholarly communications are changing, and papers are used, bookmarked, mentioned, shared, and cited using different platforms and tools, social media and web applications. Trying to capture usage based on visits and downloads, in addition to the citations, can give us more comprehensive picture about popularity and impact of Croatian Open Access (OA) journals, especially having in mind that Web of Science and Scopus are indexing only part of the Croatian scholarly journals.

description: Since the birth of the quark model, the diquark which is composed of two quarks has been considered as a substantial structure of color anti-triplet. This is not only a mathematical simplification for dealing with baryons, but also provides a physical picture where the diquark would behave as a whole object. It is natural to ask whether such a structure is sufficiently stable against external disturbance. The mass spectra of the ground states of the scalar and axial-vector diquarks which are composed of two-light (L-L), one-light-one-heavy (H-L) and two-heavy quarks (H-H) respectively have been calculated in terms of the QCD sum rules. We suggest a criterion as the quantitative standard for the stability of the diquark. It is the gap between the masses of the diquark and $\sqrt{s_0}$ where $s_0$ is the threshold of the excited states and continuity, namely the larger the gap is, the more stable the diquark would be. In this work, we calculate the masses of the type H-H to complete the series of the spectra of the ground state diquarks. However, as the criterion being taken, we find that all the gaps for the various diquaks are within a small range, especially the gap for the diquark with two heavy quarks which is believed to be a stable structure, is slightly smaller than that for other two types of diquarks, therefore we conclude that because of the large theoretical uncertainty, we cannot use the numerical results obtained with the QCD sum rules to assess the stability of diquarks, but need to invoke other theoretical framework.

description: The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet conducted a large-scale zone maintenance painting operation on 13 elevated steel bridges along the I-64 Riverside Parkway in Louisville, KY in 2007. That work included abrasive blast-cleaning and painting of steel underlying open deck joints on 3.2 miles of steel structures. The painting was performed by spray application of one coat of a calcium sulfonate alkyd coating. The painting covered an area of 237,060 ft2 of steel cleaned and painted at a unit cost of $15.82/ft2.  The project incorporated a high level of containment as the existing coating possessed lead-based paints and the project was located in a densely populated area. The project was successfully completed in 4 months. Follow-on inspections conducted at 2 and 14 months respectively indicated that almost all of the zone painting was in good condition and performing satisfactorily.

description: The objective of this study was to look at what Kentucky and other states are doing to provide wireless Internet connectivity (i.e., Wi-Fi service) for motorists at rest areas, weigh stations, and truck rest havens, and to identify technologies and best practices that may have applicability to Kentucky. A secondary objective was to look at the use of kiosks to provide traveler information in rest areas and welcome centers. Information was gathered through a literature review, Internet searches, and telephone interviews with public officials in numerous states. The study identified 18 states that are providing (or have provided) Wi-Fi service to travelers at rest areas and/or welcome centers. Four states were identified for Case Studies on the use of Wi-Fi. With regard to the use of kiosks, six states were selected for case studies. Based on the information gathered and analysis of the case studies, conclusions and recommendations for Kentucky were developed and presented.

description: The long-range non-additive three-body dispersion interaction coefficients $Z_{111}$, $Z_{112}$, $Z_{113}$, and $Z_{122}$ are computed for many atomic combinations using standard expressions. The atoms considered include hydrogen, the rare gases, the alkali atoms (up to Rb) and the alkaline-earth atoms (up to Sr). The term $Z_{111}$, arising from three mutual dipole interactions is known as the Axilrod-Teller-Muto coefficient or the DDD (dipole-dipole-dipole) coefficient. Similarly, the terms $Z_{112}$, $Z_{113}$, and $Z_{122}$ arise from the mutual combinations of dipole (1), quadrupole (2), and octupole (3) interactions between atoms and they are sometimes known, respectively, as DDQ, DDO, and DQQ coefficients. Results for the four $Z$ coefficients are given for the homonuclear trimers, for the trimers involving two like-rare-gas atoms, and for the trimers with all combinations of the H, He, Li atoms. An exhaustive compilation of all coefficients between all possible atomic combinations is presented as supplementary data.

description: We study the low-energy effective action of the IIB matrix model in the derivative interpretation, where the diffeomorphism invariance is manifest and arbitrary manifolds are described by matrices. We show that it is expressed as a sum of terms, each of which is factorized into a product of diffeomorphism invariant action functionals: $S=\sum_{i}c_is_i+\sum_{i,j}c_{ij}s_is_j+\sum_{i,j,k}c_{ijk}s_is_js_k+\...$. Each action functional $s_i$ is an ordinary local action of the form $s_i=\int d^Dx\sqrt{-g} O_i(x)$, where $O_i(x)$ is a scalar operator. This is also true for the background consisting of block diagonal matrices. In this case, the effective action can be interpreted as describing a multiverse where the universes described by the blocks are connected by wormholes.

To feasibly search through an excessively large design space (10e40 possible realizations) we develop a specialized genetic algorithm and utilize it in conjunction with the reduced Bloch mode expansion method for fast band structure calculations. Focusing on high symmetry plain-strain square lattices, we report unit cell designs exhibiting record values of normalized band-gap size for all three categories. For the combined polarizations case, we reveal a design with a normalized band-gap size exceeding 60%.

description: We have measured the fluorescence spectrum for fluorescein solution in ethanol with concentration 1 {\times} 10-3 mol/liter at different temperatures from room temperature to freezing point of solvent, (T = 153, 183, 223, 253, and 303 K) using liquid nitrogen. Table curve 2D version 5.01 program has been used to determine the fitting curve and fitting equation for each fluorescence spectrum. Fourier series (3 {\times} 2) was the most suitable fitting equation for all spectra. Theoretical fluorescence spectrum of fluorescein in ethanol at T = 183K was calculated and compared with experimental fluorescence spectrum at the same temperature. There is a good similarity between them.

description: Applying the Circular Economy paradigm in the built environment requires buildings to be designed for deconstruction and material recovery. Achieving circularity is complicated by the fact that requirements for deconstruction are at odds with most current mainstream construction techniques. The widespread adoption of single-use fixings, adhesives and composite materials mean that it is rarely economically or technically feasible to recover materials. To address this issue a highly modified structural timber framing solution has been designed that separates traditionally dependant layers of a buildings weather resistant envelope. As part of evaluating the viability of this modified framing solution a full-scale building prototype was constructed. The prototype adopted an entirely modular, prefabricated lightweight structural frame with provision for the reversible fixing of structural cavity battens, cladding, purlins and internal linings. Experimental thermally modified plywood cladding materials, using a bespoke concealed bracket, were also designed and deployed. The design-build process worked effectively to highlight limitations within the proposed circular building system, however it was observed that many of the issues found could have been identified using detailed BIM modelling (down to a fixing level).

description: Aerogele sind nanoporöse Materialien mit einer extrem geringen Dichte und einer hohen spezifischen Oberfläche. Sie werden in der Regel über einen Sol-Gel-Prozess und einer anschließenden Entfernung des Lösungsmittels mittels überkritischer Extraktion hergestellt. In den letzten Jahren hat das Interesse an der Nutzung von Aerogelen für verschieden wissenschaftliche und industrielle Anwendungen stetig zugenommen. Wegen ihrer besonderen Eigenschaften sind sie prinzipiell für den Einsatz als medizinische Wirkstoffträger geeignet. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist das Potential der Aerogele im Bereich des pharmazeutischen Einsatzes um neue Verabreichungsrouten zu erweitern. Drei verschiedene Strategien wurden zum Erreichen dieses Ziels angewendet: (1) Die In-Situ Produktion von mikrosphärischen Aerogel-Partikeln; (2) die Modifizierung der Oberflächeneigenschaften durch Veränderung der funktionellen Gruppen oder Oberflächenbeschichtung; (3) und zuletzt den Einsatz biologisch abbaubarer, organischer Polymere für die Aerogelproduktion
description: Aerogels are nanoporous materials with extremely low bulk density and high specific surface area. Usually they are produced following the sol-gel process followed by suitable solvent removal. In the past few years Aerogels have drawn an increasingly attention in different scientific and industrial applications. Because of their outstanding properties, they have been shown to be potential drug carrier systems. The aim of this work is to extend their potential in pharmaceutical applications by filling the gaps that hinder their use in some delivery routes. Three different strategies were implemented to achieve this goal: (1) in situ production of microspherical aerogel particles; (2) modifying the surface functionality of the aerogel by surface functionalization or coating; (3) and finally by producing aerogel from biodegradable organic based polymers.

description: Solid state quantum condensates can differ from other condensates, such as Helium, ultracold atomic gases, and superconductors, in that the condensing quasiparticles have relatively short lifetimes, and so, as for lasers, external pumping is required to maintain a steady state. In this chapter we present a non-equilibrium path integral approach to condensation in a dissipative environment and apply it to microcavity polaritons, driven out of equilibrium by coupling to multiple baths, describing pumping and decay. Using this, we discuss the relation between non-equilibrium polariton condensation, lasing, and equilibrium condensation.

Als frühester Beleg wird eine Anspielung in einem lateinischen Siegesgedicht eines Johann von Lochkirchen auf die Schlacht bei Giengen 1462 präsentiert, in dem dieser die Schwaben mit fliehenden Hasen vergleicht. Die Geschichte, die zum bis heute populären Stoff avancierte, verdankt sich wohl dem landsmannschaftlichem Spott der bayerischen Kriegsleute gegen die als feige geschmähten Schwaben.

description: The luminous blue variable (LBV) stars are peculiar very massive stars. The study of these stellar objects and their surroundings is important for understanding the evolution of massive stars and its effects on the interstellar medium. We study the LBV star candidate G26.47+0.02. Using several large-scale surveys in different frequencies we performed a multiwavelength study of G26.47+0.02 and its surroundings. We found a molecular shell (seen in the 13CO J=1-0 line) that partially surrounds the mid-infrared nebula of G26.47+0.02, which suggests an interaction between the strong stellar winds and the molecular gas. From the HI absorption and the molecular gas study we conclude that G26.47+0.02 is located at a distance of ~4.8 kpc. The radio continuum analysis shows a both thermal and non-thermal emission toward this LBV candidate, pointing to wind-wind collision shocks from a binary system. This hypothesis is supported by a search of near-IR sources and the Chandra X-ray analysis. Additional multiwavelength and long-term observations are needed to detect some possible variable behavior, and if that is found, to confirm the binary nature of the system.

description: A 1500 Mhz. ground coupled, ground penetrating radar antenna was used to identify both the horizontal alignment and the vertical displacement of the concrete tie-bars and the transverse joint dowel bar assembles on a portland-cement-concrete-pavement (PCCP) on KY55 in Washington County, KY. Approximately six lanes miles of PCCP was evaluated using the 1500 Mhz. ground coupled antenna. Results indicate that only four transverse dowel baskets out of an approximate total of 2,112 were within three inches of the pavement surface. Three transverse dowel baskets were misaligned greater than four inches from the location of the sawed joint. These areas represent 0.33 percent of the total transverse joints on the project. The ground penetrating radar results also indicated there were no areas along the longitudinal joint where the tie-bars were either too close to the pavement surface or missing.

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: Lane departure has been shown to be a major cause of serious traffic crashes. Installing a rumble strip on the shoulders of two lane roads provide drivers with an audible warning that they are leaving their lane of travel. Painting the edge line on the rumble strip has the possible benefit of providing more wet, nighttime delineation through the portion of the edge line painted on the sloped portion of the groove. The objectives of this study were to: a) monitor the initial installations of rumble stripes and b) evaluate the results of rumble stripe installations.  Ten rural, two-lane road locations were selected by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet across the state for the initial installations. A total of 67.7 miles were included with the installations completed in the summer of 2009. The locations were selected after a review of crash records.  The rumble strip had a width of 12 inches and a length of 7 to 7.5 inches. The depth was between ½ and 5/8 inch. The rumble strips were placed on 12 inch centers. The four inch wide white edge line was placed in the leftmost edge of the rumble strip adjacent to the travel lane.  The total pavement width (including the width of the paved shoulder) varied at the locations from a minimum of 22 feet to a maximum of 27 feet. In some instances the rumble strip was placed at the edge of the pavement while there was pavement outside the rumble strip at other locations. There was a problem encountered at only one of the ten locations. The issue related to a narrow lane width which resulted from placing the rumble strip with 18 inches of pavement outside the rumble strip. There were positive comments at all the other locations.  The crash data show that the most common type of crash before the installations was a single vehicle type of crash. This is the type of crash that shoulder rumble stripes are designed to reduce. There was a very small percentage of opposite direction type of crash.  The results of the current evaluation support additional installations of rumble stripes. The crash history at the original installations will be monitored. Recommendations relating to the installation procedure were made to consider for future rumble stripe installations.

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: Travel time based mobility measures have been increasingly used in highway performance analyses. Among them, Travel Time Index (TTI), Planning Time Index (PTI), percentage of travel under congestion (PTC), and buffer index (BI)have been identified as measures of particular interests in Kentucky. The objectives of this study are: (1) Calculate TTI, PTI, PTC, and BI for freeways within the TRIMARC coverage; and (2) Explore potential correlation between the reliability measures and incident characteristics (e.g., number of incidents, duration, severity, etc.). These analyses were performed for the years 2006-8 for each monitored segment and freeway corridor as well as for the entire freeway system.

Merging Galaxy Clusters: Offset Between the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect and X-ray Peaks

description: Galaxy clusters, the most massive collapsed structures, have been routinely used to determine cosmological parameters. When using clusters for cosmology, the crucial assumption is that they are relaxed. However, subarcminute resolution Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect images compared with high resolution X-ray images of some clusters show significant offsets between the two peaks. We have carried out self-consistent N-body/hydrodynamical simulations of merging galaxy clusters using FLASH to study these offsets quantitatively. We have found that significant displacements result between the SZ and X-ray peaks for large relative velocities for all masses used in our simulations as long as the impact parameters were about 100-250 kpc. Our results suggest that the SZ peak coincides with the peak in the pressure times the line-of-sight characteristic length and not the pressure maximum (as it would for clusters in equilibrium). The peak in the X-ray emission, as expected, coincides with the density maximum of the main cluster. As a consequence, the morphology of the SZ signal and therefore the offset between the SZ and X-ray peaks change with viewing angle. As an application, we compare the morphologies of our simulated images to observed SZ and X-ray images and mass surface densities derived from weak lensing observations of the merging galaxy cluster CL0152-1357. We find that a large relative velocity of 4800 km/s is necessary to explain these observations. We conclude that an analysis of the morphologies of multi-frequency observations of merging clusters can be used to put meaningful constraints on the initial parameters of the progenitors.

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The objective of this study was to establish 2010 safety belt and child safety seat usage rates in Kentucky. The 2010 survey continues to document the results after enactment of the original “secondary enforcement” statewide mandatory safety belt law in 1994 and the subsequent change to “primary enforcement” which was enacted in 2006. Data were collected at 160 randomly selected sites in 18 counties across Kentucky. Data from the individual sites were combined into a statewide percentage considering roadway functional classification, county, and vehicle miles traveled.  The data show that the usage rate in 2010 (80.3 percent) was almost identical to that in 2009 (79.7 percent) after an increase of several percentage points compared to 2008 (73.3 percent). The usage rate had increased from 67 percent in 2006 to 72 percent in 2007 after the enactment of “primary enforcement” legislation. The rate had increased from 42 percent in 1993 to 58 percent in 1994 after enactment of the original mandatory safety belt law.  The 2010 statewide usage rate for children under the age of four was determined to be 96.4 percent. This continues the very high rate for this age category.  Usage rates varied as a function of the highway functional classification. The highest rate of 86.7 percent was on interstates and parkways, with the lowest rate of 73.4 percent on collector roads. The rate by county varied from highs of 85.9 percent in Warren County 85.4 percent in Fayette County to lows of 66.6 percent in Knott County and 67.4 in Pike County. The usage rate by vehicle type varied from a high of 84.6 percent for vans to a low of 70.0 percent for pickup trucks.  The statewide usage rate for motorcycle helmets was 50 percent. This was a reduction from 64 percent in 2009 and 58 percent in 2008.  Observations showed that about 7.6 percent of the drivers were either talking on their cell phone or keying on their phone.

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: A basic set of questions were developed that could be used in periodic surveys that track drivers attitudes and awareness concerning impaired driving, seat belt use, and speeding issues. The objective of the survey was to learn the knowledge, views, and behaviors of drivers in these areas. The objective of this report is to document the results of the 2010 baseline survey.  The method used to conduct the survey was a telephone survey. In addition to questions for the three major highway safety areas of impaired driving, seat belt use, and speeding, an additional question was added which dealt with distracted driving. General information about the driver’s sex, age, ethnic or racial group, and education was also obtained. A total of 508 interviews were completed.  The survey shows that drivers do not self-report many violations in their driving behavior. Only a few drivers admitted to violating the law in the areas surveyed (safety belt use, speeding, and impaired driving). For example, the percentage of drivers who indicated they used their safety belt “all of the time” was higher than the observed usage rate of safety belts. The survey shows a high level of media and enforcement awareness. The majority of surveyed drivers had heard about enforcement related to drinking and driving and use of safety belts while almost one half were aware of speeding enforcement. Males were more aware of enforcement activities than females. The large majority of drivers felt they were somewhat likely to receive a ticket if they violated the law in these areas. Females felt they would be more likely to receive a ticket if they violated the traffic laws than males.  The most common type of distraction was talking on a cell phone. Slightly over one-half reported using a cell phone while driving. Distracted driving was much more common for the younger drivers and slightly higher for females.
