description: Observed efficiencies of industrial power plants are often approximated by the square-root formula: $1-\sqrt{T_-/T_+}$, where $T_+ (T_-)$ is the highest (lowest) temperature achieved in the plant. This expression can be derived within finite-time thermodynamics, or, by entropy generation minimization, based on finite rates of processes. A closely related quantity is the optimal value of the intermediate temperature for the hot stream, which is given by the geometric-mean value: $\sqrt{T_+ T_-}$. It is proposed to model the operation of plants by quasi-static work extraction models, with one reservoir (source/sink) as finite, while the other as practically infinite. No simplifying assumption is made on the nature of the finite system. This description is consistent with two model hypotheses, each yielding a specific value of the intermediate temperature. We show that the expected value of the intermediate temperature, defined as the arithmetic mean, is very closely given by the geometric-mean value. The definition is motivated as the use of inductive inference in the presence of limited information.

A Degeneracy in DRW Modelling of AGN Light Curves

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Individual light curves of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are nowadays successfully modelled with the damped random walk (DRW) stochastic process, characterized by the power exponential covariance matrix of the signal, with the power $β=1$. By Monte Carlo simulation means, we generate mock AGN light curves described by non-DRW stochastic processes ($0.5\leqβ\leq 1.5$ and $β\neq1$) and show they can be successfully and well-modelled as a single DRW process, obtaining comparable goodness of fits. A good DRW fit, in fact, may not mean that DRW is the true underlying process leading to variability and it cannot be used as a proof for it. When comparing the input (non-DRW) and measured (DRW) process parameters, the recovered time scale (amplitude) increases (decreases) with the increasing input $β$. In practice, this means that the recovered DRW parameters may lead to biased (or even non-existing) correlations of the variability and physical parameters of AGNs if the true AGN variability is caused by non-DRW stochastic processes. The proper way of identifying the processes leading to variability are model-independent structure functions and/or power spectral densities and then using such information on the covariance matrix of the signal in light curve modelling.

description: Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) need imaging optics with large apertures and high image intensities to map the faint Cherenkov light emitted from cosmic ray air showers onto their image sensors. Segmented reflectors fulfill these needs, and composed from mass production mirror facets they are inexpensive and lightweight. However, as the overall image is a superposition of the individual facet images, alignment remains a challenge. Here we present a simple, yet extendable method, to align a segmented reflector using its Bokeh. Bokeh alignment does not need a star or good weather nights but can be done even during daytime. Bokeh alignment optimizes the facet orientations by comparing the segmented reflectors Bokeh to a predefined template. The optimal Bokeh template is highly constricted by the reflector's aperture and is easy accessible. The Bokeh is observed using the out of focus image of a near by point like light source in a distance of about 10 focal lengths. We introduce Bokeh alignment on segmented reflectors and demonstrate it on the First Geiger-mode Avalanche Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) on La Palma, Spain.

description: We present wide-field $g$ and $i$ band stellar photometry of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy and its surrounding area out to four times its half-light radius ($r_h=695\,$pc), based on images obtained with the Dark Energy Camera at the 4-m Blanco telescope at CTIO. We find clear evidence of stellar substructure associated with the galaxy, extending to a distance of $82\arcmin$ (2\,kpc) from its centre. We perform a statistical analysis of the over-densities and find three distinct features, as well as an extended halo-like structure, to be significant at the $99.7\%$ confidence level or higher. Unlike the extremely elongated and extended substructures surrounding the Hercules dwarf spheroidal galaxy, the over-densities seen around Sextans are distributed evenly about its centre, and do not appear to form noticeable tidal tails. Fitting a King model to the radial distribution of Sextans stars yields a tidal radius $r_t =83.2\arcmin\pm7.1\arcmin$ (2.08$\pm$0.18\,kpc), which implies the majority of detected substructure is gravitationally bound to the galaxy. This finding suggests that Sextans is not undergoing significant tidal disruption from the Milky Way, supporting the scenario in which the orbit of Sextans has a low eccentricity.

Radial distribution function applied to renormalization group theory of fluids
Creators: name: Zhang, Sheng
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Renormalization group calculation has been directly applied to fluid theory to evaluate the critical phenomena of gases by Dr. John White in the 1980s. Starting from the most basic intermolecular forces, this theory uses phase cell approximation to take into account the contribution of fluctuations to free energy, especially those fluctuations due to limited-range attractive forces. Since Radial Distribution Function (RDF) plays an important role in molecular interactions, especially when molecules are in close range, a more complete renormalization group theory requires the consideration of the effects of RDF. This dissertation will show what effects RDF has on the renormalization group theory and how it can be incorporated into the current theory to obtain better experimental results.

Identification of mutagenic electrophiles in chlorinated water and characterization of nucleoside adducts formed in DNA by phenanthrene-9,10-oxide
Creators: name: Xiao, Wei
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This research has been directed towards identifying mutagens that are present in chlorinated drinking water and investigating the addition reactions of two mutagens that may be present, 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2-(5H)-furanone (MX) and phenanthrene-9,10-oxide (PhO), with nucleophiles such as thiols or DNA. An immobilized nucleophile, 5-mercapto-2-nitrobenzoic acid (MNB) attached by an ester linkage to a polysaccharide coating of controlled pore glass, was used to trap the unknown mutagenic electrophiles present in chlorinated drinking water, permitting the removal of the bulk of noncovalently bound matrix by washing. This was followed by the release, isolation and identification of the trapped unknowns. Overall recovery of model electrophiles from this process was up to 67%. MX was reacted with the nucleophile 4-nitrothiophenol (NTP) in order to investigate the types of addition products that might be formed. Attempts were made to determine the stability of MX in solution, optimize MX-NTP reaction conditions and isolate the addition products using HPLC. Characterization of the DNA adducts formed by a second mutagenic electrophile, phenanthrene-9,10-oxide (PhO), was performed. The reaction of PhO with DNA formed covalent nucleoside adducts at the exocyclic amino groups of 2$\sp\prime$-deoxyadenosine (dA, 42.9%) and 2$\sp\prime$-deoxyguanosine (dG, 52.2%), in addition to a minor 2$\sp\prime$-deoxycytidine (dC, 4.9%) adduct. In order to determine unequivocally the structures of the chiral pairs of cis and trans dA adducts formed from PhO, the adducts were chemically synthesized from chiral cis and trans 9-amino-10-hydroxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene of known configuration. Assignment of absolute configurations of the four PhO-dA adducts formed in DNA was accomplished by comparison of their HPLC retention times and circular dichroism spectra with those of synthesized adducts.

description: We present pump-probe measurements of an all-optical photonic crystal switch based on a nanocavity, resolving fast coherent temporal dynamics. The measurements demonstrate the importance of coherent effects typically neglected when considering nanocavity dynamics. In particular, we report the observation of an idler pulse. The measurements are in good agreement with a theoretical model that allows us to ascribe the observation to oscillations of the free carrier population in the nanocavity. The effect opens perspectives for the realization of new all-optical photonic crystal switches with unprecedented switching contrast.

description: Photons do not interact directly with each other, but conditional control of one beam by another can be achieved with non-linear optical media at high field intensities. It is exceedingly difficult to reach such intensities at the single photon level but proposals have been made to obtain effective interactions by scattering photons from single transitions. We report here effective interactions between photons created using a quantum dot weakly coupled to a cavity. We show that a passive single-photon non-linearity can modify the counting statistics of a Poissonian beam, sorting the photons in number. This is used to create strong correlations between detection events and sort polarisation correlated photons from an uncorrelated stream using a single spin. These results pave the way for optical switches operated by single quanta of light.

A study of the reaction of alcohols with bromine and silver salts
Creators: name: Yang, Ling
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The oxidation of alcohols with bromine and silver salts was studied and the synthetic use of this reaction was evaluated. Thus with bromine, silver salts and in the absence of light, 2-cyclohexylcyclohexanol was oxidized to dodecahydrodibenzofuran and 2-cyclohexylethanol was converted to octahydrobenzofuran. The spiro compound, 1-oxa-spiro (4,5) decane, was obtained from two different alcohols, 1-cyclohexyl-3-propanol and 1-propyl-1-cyclohexanol. Two different bicyclic ethers, 1-methyl-8-oxabicyclo (3,2,1) octane and 1-methyl-9-oxabicyclo (4,2,1) -nonane were obtained from two alcohols; namely: 1-methyl-1-cycloheptanol and 1-methyl-1-cyclooctanol. Two new spiro ketal isomers, cis and trans-2,2,9-trimethyl-1,6-dioxaspiro (4,4) nonane were produced when 1,7-dimethyl-3,7-octadiol was reacted with silver carbonate and bromine. Two other new spiro ketals were synthesized in this research; they were 2,2,9-trimethyl-7-propyl-1,6-dioxaspiro (4,4) nonane and 2,2,9-trimethyl-7-ethyl-1,6-dioxaspiro (4,4) nonane. When 2-ethyl-1,3-hexadiol was treated with bromine and silver carbonate, 2-ethyl-1-hexen-3-one was formed. The dihydric alcohol, 2,5-hexadiol yielded 2,5-hexadione. When 1-methyl-2-cyclohexylcyclohexanol was reacted with silver acetate, the starting alcohol was recovered and 8% of 1-methyl-2-cyclohexylcyclohexene was formed. When 2-cyclohexylcyclohexanol reacted with silver trifluoroacetate, 2-cyclohexylcyclohexanone was the major product and no ether was detected. The results of the present study showed that maximum yields of ethers were formed from mono-alcohols when silver acetate in pentane was used, while with diols, ether formation was favored when silver carbonate in chloroform was used. The results support an ionic mechanism involving the hydroxyl group of the substrate. In both cases, alkenes and brominated alkanes, were detected as by products. Spectral data (infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry) was determined for the new compounds. The reaction intermediates were studied by either ultra-iolet spectroscopy or gas chromatography.

description: OpenDreamKit --- "Open Digital Research Environment Toolkit for the Advancement of Mathematics" --- is an H2020 EU Research Infrastructure project that aims at supporting, over the period 2015--2019, the ecosystem of open-source mathematical software systems. From that, OpenDreamKit will deliver a flexible toolkit enabling research groups to set up Virtual Research Environments, customised to meet the varied needs of research projects in pure mathematics and applications. An important step in the OpenDreamKit endeavor is to foster the interoperability between a variety of systems, ranging from computer algebra systems over mathematical databases to front-ends. This is the mission of the integration work package (WP6). We report on experiments and future plans with the \emph{Math-in-the-Middle} approach. This information architecture consists in a central mathematical ontology that documents the domain and fixes a joint vocabulary, combined with specifications of the functionalities of the various systems. Interaction between systems can then be enriched by pivoting off this information architecture.

description: We study the influence of non-magnetic impurity scatterings on the tunneling conductance of a junction consisting of a normal metal and a disordered unconventional superconductor by solving the quasiclassical Eilenberger equation self-consistently. We find that the impurity scatterings in both the Born and unitary limits affect the formation of the Andreev bound states and modify strongly the tunneling spectra around zero bias. Our results are interpreted well by the appearance of odd-frequency Cooper pairs near the interface and by the divergent behavior of the impurity self-energy. The present paper provides a useful tool to identify the pairing symmetry of unconventional superconductors in experiments.

description: Motivated by the reopening mechanics of strongly collapsed airways, we study the steady propagation of an air finger through a collapsed oil-filled channel with a single compliant wall. In a previous study using fully-compliant elastic tubes, a `pointed' air finger was found to propagate at high speed and low pressure, which may enable rapid reopening of highly collapsed airways with minimal tissue damage (Heap & Juel 2008). In this paper, we identify the selection mechanism of that pointed finger, which remained unexplained, by conducting an experimental study in a rigid rectangular Hele-Shaw channel with an elastic top boundary. The constitutive behaviour of this elasto-rigid channel is broadly similar to that of an elastic tube, but unlike the tube the channel's cross-section adopts self-similar shapes from the undeformed state to the point of first near wall contact. The simplification of the vessel geometry enables the systematic investigation of the reopening dynamics in terms of initial collapse. We find that for low levels of initial collapse, a single centred symmetric finger propagates in the channel and its shape is set by the tip curvature. As the level of collapse increases, the channel cross-section develops a central region of near opposite wall contact, and the finger shape evolves smoothly towards a `flat-tipped' finger whose geometry is set by the strong depth gradient near the channel walls. We show that the flat-tipped mode of reopening is analogous to the pointed finger observed in tubes. Its propagation is sustained by the vessel's extreme cross-sectional profile at high collapse, while vessel compliance stabilises it. A simple scaling argument based on the dissipated power reveals that this reopening mode is preferred at higher propagation speeds when it becomes favourable to displace the elastic channel wall rather than the viscous fluid.
Properties of a vector correlation coefficient with application to geophysical data
Creators: name: Li, Yong
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In many practical problems, one common question is to find a measure of vector associations. An example is marine surface wind data. Wind data are collected from buoys located in a certain areas on the sea surface. A typical observation of wind data is composed of two components, wind speed and wind direction. For two buoys or two groups of buoys, two sets of observations can be obtained. A measure of association of the two sets of observations will provide an additional tool for understanding the sea surface wind. Theoretical problems are raised in defining such a measure of association and in investigating its statistical properties. While the definition of a vector correlation coefficient is not unique, one definition has been proposed by Jupp & Mardia (1980). The sample distributional properties of such a vector correlation coefficient $r\sp2$ have been studied by many authors. This is because the statistic is a function of the canonical correlation coefficients. The exact distribution of the sample statistic $r\sp2$ under the alternative hypothesis of independence has not been well established. However, detailed asymptotic distributional properties are derived for both normal and nonnormal marginal distributions. The limiting distribution of ${nr}\sp2$ is shown to be a linear combination of noncentral chi-square variate with one degree of freedom and the noncentrality parameters determined by a function of the Pearson correlation coefficients of each pair of components of vectors, with weights being related to the fourth order moments of the marginal distributions. By appropriately selecting the weights in such a linear combination, the limiting distribution of ${nr}\sp2$ is expressed as a sum of a series of noncentral chi-square distributions. By utilizing additional independent observations from the marginal distributions, the power of the test of the independence of two vectors is higher. Simulation studies are applied to verify the theoretical results. The simulation results showed that the limiting distribution provides good fit for large sample sizes under normal marginal distributions. For dependent vectors with nonnormal marginal distributions, the results did not show uniformly a satisfactory fit. Possible reasons are truncating errors in computing the infinite series, and estimating procedures of the fourth order moments. Further studies are proposed to carry out. An application to the marine surface wind data is carried out using bootstrap techniques.

MOLECULAR RECOGNITION OF C-MYC PROMOTER G-QUADRUPLEX BY NUCLEOLIN PROTEIN

description: c-Myc is one of the most important oncogenes. G-quadruplex DNA secondary structure formed in the proximal promoter region of c-Myc functions as a transcription silencer and is targetable by small molecules. Therefore, the c-Myc promoter G-quadruplex (MycG4) is an attractive anticancer drug target. Protein recognition of MycG4 is essential for its transcriptional regulating. Nucleolin was discovered as a major MycG4 binding protein in 2009. It shows a remarkably higher binding affinity for MycG4 over its known substrate NRE_RNA and overexpression of nucleolin represses the activity of the c-Myc promoter. However, little is known about its molecular recognition of MycG4. Here, we use X-ray crystallography combined with other biochemical and biophysical methods to understand how nucleolin recognizes MycG4. Nucleolin is a 77 kD protein with a modular organization. The four RNA-binding domains (RBD) of nucleolin are the minimal domains for high affinity binding with MycG4. We show that nucleolin prefers the c-Myc parallel G-quadruplex with a 6-nt central loop (Myc161) that is the thermodynamically favored conformation. Using a custom G4 DNA microarray, we optimized the MycG4 sequence with over 10-fold increased binding affinity to nucleolin. Fabs are widely used tools to facilitate crystallization and we have discovered Fabs that specifically bind the nucleolin-MycG4 complex using a phage display screening. This approach enabled us to obtain crystals of the nucleolin-MycG4-Fab ternary complex diffracted at 2.6 Å and we determined the crystal structure. In the structure, the parallel MycG4 is very well-defined with two K+ between the three G-treads. The central 6-nt loop residue protrude from the G4-core and extensively recognized by the nucleolin. Only RBD1 and RBD2 of nucleolin are seen in the crystal structures and interact extensively with the 6-nt central loop and 5′-flanking of MycG4. The binding surface and area of the globular MycG4 by nucleolin is much more extensive than NRE_RNA and involves an extra binding site. Fab binds to both RBD1 and 3′-end of MycG4 to stabilize the complex. The well-defined partial RBD2-3 linker and a cavity close to the 1-nt T19 loop suggest that the missing RBD3 likely binds the 3rd loop of MycG4. This structure is the first MycG4-protein complex structure. It will help understand MycG4 and nucleolin interactions and the development of MycG4 targeted cancer therapeutics. This structure also provides novel insights into how proteins recognize the globular G-quadruplexes, highlighting the potential of G-quadruplexes as a platform for multivalent interactions such as with multiple tandem RBDs.
Supersymmetry, Cosmological Constant and Inflation: Towards a fundamental cosmic picture via "running vacuum"

description: On the occasion of a century from the proposal of General relativity by Einstein, I attempt to tackle some open issues in modern cosmology, via a toy but non-trivial model. Specifically, I would like to link together: (i) the smallness of the cosmological constant today, (ii) the evolution of the universe from an inflationary era after the big-bang till now, and (iii) local supersymmetry in the gravitational sector (supergravity) with a broken spectrum at early eras, by making use of the concept of the "running vacuum" in the context of a simple toy model of four-dimensional N=1 supergravity. The model is characterised by dynamically broken local supersymmetry, induced by the formation of gravitino condensates in the early universe. As I will argue, there is a Starobinsky-type inflationary era characterising the broken supersymmetry phase in this model, which is compatible with the current cosmological data, provided a given constraint is satisfied among some tree-level parameters of the model and the renormalised cosmological constant of the de Sitter background used in the analysis. Applying the "running vacuum" concept, then, to the effective field theory at the exit of inflation, makes a smooth connection (in cosmic time) with the radiation dominance epoch and subsequently with the current era of the Universe, characterised by a small (but dominant) cosmological-constant contribution to the cosmic energy density. In this approach, the smallness of the cosmological constant today is attributed to the failure (due to quantum gravity non-perturbative effects) of the aforementioned constraint.

description: Stochastic geometry (SG) has been widely accepted as a fundamental tool for modeling and analyzing cellular networks. However, the fading models used with SG analysis are mainly confined to the simplistic Rayleigh fading, which is extended to the Nakagami-m fading in some special cases. However, neither the Rayleigh nor the Nakagami-m accounts for dominant specular components (DSCs) which may appear in realistic fading channels. In this paper, we present a tractable model for cellular networks with generalized two-ray (GTR) fading channel. The GTR fading explicitly accounts for two DSCs in addition to the diffuse components and offers high flexibility to capture diverse fading channels that appear in realistic outdoor/indoor wireless communication scenarios. It also encompasses the famous Rayleigh and Rician fading as special cases. To this end, the prominent effect of DSCs is highlighted in terms of average spectral efficiency.

description: Currently there is no low-cost solution to teach large quantities of Naval Aviators on how to correctly breath on an oxygen mask. This report will discuss the design and implementation of a mask-on breathing apparatus for use with United States Naval Aircrew for initial and annual familiarization. With the current uptick in physiological episodes within the naval aviation enterprise, there has been a need to find solutions to this problem. Currently when a naval aircrew is trained in aviation physiological threats, they do so with normobaric hypoxia tools in the form of the 9A19 Normobaric Hypoxia Trainer for aircrew who do not normally wear a mask during flight and the 9A17 Mask-on Breathing Trainer which is for aircrew who do wear a mask throughout an entire flight. This training evolution only lasts around 15 minutes for each student and does not go over the proper breathing techniques to use to breath while on mask provided oxygen. It would take too long and would be overly costly to use the existing training methods to perform this task. The goal of this project is to rectify the gap in training by providing a low cost means to give positive feedback training to large numbers of students at once.
