description: Processes with three external electroweak gauge boson allow for a measurement of triple and quartic gauge couplings. They can be used to constrain anomalous gauge couplings, where new physics might predominantly couple to electroweak gauge bosons. In this paper we chose a class of such processes where we consider two photons and an additional vector boson in the final state. As additional vector boson we consider either a third photon or a $W$ or $Z$ boson. For the latter two cases we assume a leptonic decay of the boson. We calculate the next-to-leading order QCD and electroweak corrections to these processes with a particular emphasis on the until now unknown electroweak corrections. We find that the electroweak corrections to the total cross section are moderate in the range of a few per cent at most, but can reach several tens of per cent in regions of phase space that are particularly interesting in the context of new physics searches. In addition we investigate the difference between additive and multiplicative scheme when combining QCD and electroweak corrections and we assess the importance of photon induced contributions to these processes.

description: Aims. Narrow-angle tailed (NAT) sources in clusters of galaxies can show on the large scale very narrow tails that are unresolved even at arcsecond resolution. These sources could therefore be classified as one-sided jets. The aim of this paper is to gain new insight into the structure of these sources, and establish whether they are genuine one-sided objects, or if they are two-sided sources. Methods. We observed a sample of apparently one-sided NAT sources at subarcsecond resolution to obtain detailed information on their structure in the nuclear regions of radio galaxies. Results. Most radio galaxies are found to show two-sided jets with sharp bends, and therefore the sources are similar to the more classical NATs, which are affected by strong projection effects.

Priming Error Detection to Augment Learning of an Upper Extremity Motor Task: A Proof-of-Principle Study

description: Preparing the nervous system prior to practicing a new task may be a viable way to augment motor learning. This approach, known as priming, attempts to make the nervous system more effective during practice by preparing it prior to practice. The development and adaptation of motor behavior occurs through a process of error-based learning. An error response in a cognitive task elicits an amplified neurophysiological response within the prefrontal cortex that is thought to indicate activation of the error monitoring system. This amplified neurophysiological response is indicative of an increase in error detection as a means to improve performance. Priming the error detection system might make error detection in a subsequent motor task easier and faster than if the system were not primed. This ultimately might result in improved learning. If successful, priming error detection may prove to effectively improve learning of new skills (or relearning of previously-learned motor skills) in rehabilitation. We evaluated the effect of priming error detection on learning a motor task. We hypothesized that priming error detection would result in improved motor performance throughout the learning process (up to one week) on the trained task and untrained tasks when compared to a group who was not primed for error detection. Thirty healthy young adults were randomized into two groups. Each group trained on a functional reaching task following completion of their respective priming task. Motor performance on the trained task and two other untrained tasks were assessed one day after training and one week after training. Another group was recruited as a no-training group to determine if improvements on the untrained tasks were due to motor skill transfer. Results of this study demonstrated that priming error detection just prior to training may increase the rate, but not the amount, of motor task learning. Further, the groups improvement on the untrained tasks (i.e., transfer tasks) was not due to motor skill transfer as the no-training group improved a similar amount. Collectively, priming error detection prior to motor training may be a viable method for augmenting learning of a motor task. Further, the results suggesting that transfer did not occur should be interpreted cautiously as our testing conditions may have caused sufficient repetitions of the transfer tasks throughout the protocol that a learning effect occurred.

description: Newtonian pipe flow is known to be linearly stable at all Reynolds numbers. We report, for the first time, a linear instability of pressure driven pipe flow of a viscoelastic fluid, obeying the Oldroyd-B constitutive equation commonly used to model dilute polymer solutions. The instability is shown to exist at Reynolds numbers significantly lower than those at which transition to turbulence is typically observed for Newtonian pipe flow. Our results qualitatively explain experimental observations of transition to turbulence in pipe flow of dilute polymer solutions at flow rates where Newtonian turbulence is absent. The instability discussed here should form the first stage in a hitherto unexplored dynamical pathway to turbulence in polymer solutions. An analogous instability exists for plane Poiseuille flow.
Quantifying Drought-induced Changes in Green Vegetation Fraction and Classification Accuracy Using Hyperspectral Data for the Central Sierra Nevada, California

description: Persistent drought conditions and associated vegetation mortality in the central Sierra Nevada of California were analyzed from 2013-2015 using a combination of field-derived polygons and AVIRIS hyperspectral data. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) was used to classify hyperspectral data into five land cover classes based on dominant flora. LDA accuracies were compared across years in order to determine whether classification accuracy was correlated with increasing drought severity. It was determined that 2013 had the greatest accuracy and 2015 had the lowest. However, this trend was influenced by Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) effects in the densely forested landscape. Fractional cover data of green vegetation (GV), non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV), and soil were obtained from the US Forest Service to analyze which land cover classes and which elevation intervals experienced the greatest fractional cover change, which are both indicators of vegetation senescence and mortality. GV loss deemed the most appropriate indicator of vegetation senescence and mortality as NPV and soil appeared to be confused by the Multiple Endmember Spectral Mixture Analysis (MESMA) method used to obtain the fractional cover images. Mixed oak woodland (MO) and mixed low conifer (LC) forests experienced the greatest and second-greatest decreases in GV, respectively. Lower elevation areas (695-1369 m) generally experienced greater GV loss than higher elevation areas (2167-2779), which coincided with both MO and LC forest classes. The MO forest class, which occurs most in lower elevation areas, was comprised of dominantly drought resistant flora and experienced the greatest GV loss during the study period (16%). Conversely, the HC forest, which occurs dominantly in higher elevation areas, was comprised of dominantly non-drought-tolerant flora but experienced less GV loss (5%). This suggests that the differences in elevation and location of vegetation within the landscape played a larger role than the dominant floras' degrees of drought tolerance. Variations in seasonal senescence may have influenced the measured loss of GV for the MO and LC classes, which contained deciduous vegetation. However, overall GV loss in all classes, even those without trees, indicates that the landscape likely experienced vegetation mortality, especially at low elevations in the MO and LC classes.

description: We report on a search for the optical counterparts of 175 um - selected sources from the Far-Infrared Background (FIRBACK) survey in the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) N2 field. Applying a likelihood ratio technique to optical catalogues from the Isaac Newton Telescope - Wide Field Survey (INT--WFS), we found optical identifications for 33 out of 55 FIRBACK sources in this field. These were then reassessed in the light of associations with the ELAIS final catalogue for the the N2 field, to yield a final set of 31 associations. We have investigated the nature of this population through a comparison of their observed spectral energy distributions with predictions from radiative transfer models which simulate the emission from both cirrus and starburst components. We find the far-infrared sources to be 80 per cent star bursting galaxies with their starburst component at a high optical depth. The resulting SEDs were used to estimate far-infrared luminosities, star formation rates, dust temperatures and dust masses. The N2 FIRBACK population is found to consist of four suspected ULIRGs, a number of LIRGs and a population of low redshift quiescently star forming galaxies. We also discuss the implications of these results for current evolutionary models.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have a range of unique physics properties and could be used in the development of electronics, photonics, spintronics and quantum computing devices. The mechanical exfoliation technique of micro-size TMD flakes has attracted particular interest due to its simplicity and cost effectiveness. However, for most applications, large area and high quality films are preferred. Furthermore, when the thickness of crystalline films is down to the 2D limit (monolayer), exotic properties can be expected due to the quantum confinement and symmetry breaking. In this paper, we have successfully prepared macro-size atomically flat monolayer NbSe2 films on bilayer graphene terminated surface of 6H-SiC(0001) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method. The films exhibit an onset superconducting critical transition temperature above 6 K, 2 times higher than that of mechanical exfoliated NbSe2 flakes. Simultaneously, the transport measurements at high magnetic fields reveal that the parallel characteristic field Bc// is at least 4.5 times higher than the paramagnetic limiting field, consistent with Zeeman-protected Ising superconductivity mechanism. Besides, by ultralow temperature electrical transport measurements, the monolayer NbSe2 film shows the signature of quantum Griffiths singularity when approaching the zero-temperature quantum critical point.

description: Ultrashort and ultracold electron bunches created by near-threshold femtosecond photoionization of a laser-cooled gas hold great promise for single-shot ultrafast diffraction experiments. In previous publications the transverse beam quality and the bunch length have been determined. Here the longitudinal energy spread of the generated bunches is measured for the first time, using a specially developed Wien filter. The Wien filter has been calibrated by determining the average deflection of the electron bunch as a function of magnetic field. The measured relative energy spread $\frac{σ_{U}}{U} = 0.64 \pm 0.09\%$ agrees well with the theoretical model which states that it is governed by the width of the ionization laser and the acceleration length.

description: Low-cost wireless embedded systems can make radio channel measurements for the purposes of radio localization, synchronization, and breathing monitoring. Most of those systems measure the radio channel via the received signal strength indicator (RSSI), which is widely available on inexpensive radio transceivers. However, the use of standard RSSI imposes multiple limitations on the accuracy and reliability of such systems; moreover, higher accuracy is only accessible with very high-cost systems, both in bandwidth and device costs. On the other hand, wireless devices also rely on synchronized notion of time to coordinate tasks (transmit, receive, sleep, etc.), especially in time-based localization systems. Existing solutions use multiple message exchanges to estimate time offset and clock skew, which further increases channel utilization. In this dissertation, the design of the systems that use RSSI for device-free localization, device-based localization, and breathing monitoring applications are evaluated. Next, the design and evaluation of novel wireless embedded systems are introduced to enable more fine-grained radio signal measurements to the application. I design and study the effect of increasing the resolution of RSSI beyond the typical 1 dB step size, which is the current standard, with a couple of example applications: breathing monitoring and gesture recognition. Lastly, the Stitch architecture is then proposed to allow the frequency and time synchronization of multiple nodes' clocks. The prototype platform, Chronos, implements radio frequency synchronization (RFS), which accesses complex baseband samples from a low-power low-cost narrowband radio, estimates the carrier frequency offset, and iteratively drives the difference between two nodes' main local oscillators (LO) to less than 3 parts per billion (ppb). An optimized time synchronization and ranging protocols (EffToF) is designed and implemented to achieve the same timing accuracy as the state-of-the-art but with 59% less utilization of the UWB channel. Based on this dissertation, I could foresee Stitch and RFS further improving the robustness of communications infrastructure to GPS jamming, allow exploration of applications such as distributed beamforming and MIMO, and enable new highly-synchronous wireless sensing and actuation systems.

The key is obtained by a simple time-of-arrival measurement on the data line; the presence of an eavesdropper is checked by an interferometer on an additional monitoring line. The setup is experimentally simple; moreover, it is tolerant to reduced interference visibility and to photon number splitting attacks, thus featuring a high efficiency in terms of distilled secret bit per qubit.

description: The Cygnus complex is one of the most powerful star forming regions at a close distance from the Sun (~1.4 kpc). Its richest OB association Cygnus OB2 is known to harbor many tens of O-type stars and hundreds of B-type stars, providing a large homogeneous population of OB stars that can be analyzed. Many studies of its massive population have been developed in the last decades, although the total number of OB stars is still incomplete. Our aim is to increase the sample of O and B members of Cygnus OB2 and its surroundings by spectroscopically classifying 61 candidates as possible OB-type members of Cygnus OB2. We have obtained new blue intermediate-resolution spectra suitable for spectral classification of the 61 candidates in Cygnus OB2 and surroundings. We thus performed a spectral classification of the sample using He I-II and metal lines rates, as well as the Marxist Ghost Buster (MGB) software for O-type stars and the IACOB standards catalog for B-type stars. Out of the 61 candidates, we have classified 42 stars as new massive OB-type stars, earlier than B3, in Cygnus OB2 and surroundings, including 11 O-type stars. The other candidates are discarded as they display later spectral types inconsistent with membership in the association. However, the magnitude cutoff and dust extinction introduce an incompleteness. Many O and early B stars at B > 16 mag are still undiscovered in the region. Finally, we have studied the age and extinction distribution of our sample within the region, placing them in the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram using different stellar models in order to assess age uncertainties. Massive star formation in Cygnus OB2 seems to have proceeded from lower to higher Galactic longitudes, regardless of the details of the models used. The correlation between age and Galactic longitude previously found in the region is now confirmed.

description: We report on HST/STIS spectra of the Lyman-alpha emission in the central dominant galaxies in three rich clusters of galaxies. We find evidence for a population of clouds in the intracluster medium.We detect 10 Ly-alpha absorption systems towards the nucleus of NGC1275 with columns of N(HI) 1E12-1E14 cm-2. The detected absorption features are most consistent with associated nuclear absorption systems. There is very little nuclear absorption at the systemic velocity in NGC1275. This implies that the large columns detected in the 21 cm line towards the parsec scale radio source avoid the line of sight to the nucleus. This gas may be located in a circumnuclear disk or torus. We detect at least one and possibly two absorption features towards the extended Ly-alpha in A426. We do not detect absorption towards the extended Ly-alpha emission in A1795, and A2597 with upper limits N(HI) 1E13 cm-2 for optically thin absorbers. Our data constrain the covering factor of any high column density gas in the ICM to be less than 25%. Our results suggest that the lack of observed intermediate temperature gas is not explained by obscuration. In addition, the low columns of gas on the 100 kpc scales in the ICM suggests that (1) the rate at which cold gas accumulates in the ICM on these scales is very low, and (2) the dense nebulae in the central 10 kpc must have cooled or been deposited in situ.

Quantifier Scope and Prosody in Turkish
Creators: name: Altinok, Dursun
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: A sentence containing multiple quantifiers can be ambiguous in languages like English. In some other languages, these sentences are unambiguous and the inverse scope reading is not readily available. These languages are called scope rigid languages. In some of these languages, it has been argued that inverse scope becomes available only if a special prosodic contour is imposed on the sentence. For German, this special contour is the rise-fall contour, where the first quantifier is marked with a rising intonation and the second one with a falling intonation. For Russian, this special contour is realized as prosodic prominence on the lower quantifier and a prosodic break between the two quantifiers. This thesis investigates the availability of inverse scope under different prosodic conditions in Turkish, another scope rigid language. In a survey, Turkish native speakers were asked to judge simple SOV sentences with subject and object quantifiers. Results show that the prosodic condition itself does not contribute to the availability of inverse scope, suggesting that Russian and German facts may point to language-specific cases. It has also been found that in some quantifier configurations, inverse scope is readily available regardless of prosodic contours. This finding challenges the idea of scope rigidity parameter and suggests that the parameter should be defined over specific constructions rather than entire languages.

description: We present the results of a search for new physics in the jets plus missing transverse energy data sample collected from 368 pb^{-1} of ppbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We compare the number of events observed in the data with a data-based estimate of the Standard Model backgrounds contributing to this signature. We observe no significant excess of events, and we interpret this null result in terms of lower limits on the fundamental Planck scale for a large extra dimensions scenario.

Quality of Life Among Women With Radiation-Induced Dermatitis of the Breast
Creators: name: Beamer, Laura Curr
Publisher: name: University of Utah

description: Primary breast carcinoma is the most common type of cancer among women and radiodermatitis a frequent complication of treatment. The study aims were to examine the feasibility of measurements of radiodermatitis and gain a better understanding of quality of life (QOL) among 40 women with grade 0-III breast carcinoma receiving radiotherapy at a community cancer center. Study design feasibility, clinician-measured breast length, and multiple assessments of breast radiodermatitis were explored in a pilot study. Maximum radiodermatitis score significantly correlated with breast length (p =.04), and with the following breast areas: upper inner quadrant (p=.04), upper lateral quadrant (p=.02), and lower lateral quadrant (p=.02), inframammary fold (p=.001). Clinician-measured breast lengths and participant-reported bra cup sizes were discordant estimates of breast size. Change in skin-related and global QOL between baseline and at week 5 on radiotherapy was measured using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and the Quality of Life Instrument-Breast Cancer Patient Version. The relationship between, and factors associated with, skin-related and global QOL were examined. In general, skinrelated and global QOL were highly correlated. Skin-related QOL changed profoundly (M=.40, SD=1.19; versus M=3.88, SD=3.55, t(-6.32), p

description: A method for gaining information about the phonon-number moments and the generalized nonlinear and linear quadratures in the motion of trapped ions (in particular, position and momentum) is proposed, valid inside and outside the Lamb-Dicke regime. It is based on the measurement of first time derivatives of electronic populations, evaluated at the motion-probe interaction time t=0. In contrast to other state-reconstruction proposals, based on measuring Rabi oscillations or dispersive interactions, the present scheme can be performed resonantly at infinitesimal short motion-probe interaction times, remaining thus insensitive to decoherence processes.

Approached vectorial model for Fano resonances in guided mode resonance gratings

description: We propose a self-consistent vectorial method, based on a Green's function technique, to describe the Fano resonances that appear in guided mode resonance gratings. The model provides intuitive expressions of the reflectivity and transmittivity matrices of the structure, involving coupling integrals between the modes of a planar reference structure and radiative modes. These expressions are used to derive a physical analysis in configurations where the effect of the incident polarization is not trivial. We provide numerical validations of our model. On a technical point of view, we show how the Green's tensor of our planar reference structure can be expressed as two scalar Green's functions, and how to deal with the singularity of the Green's tensor.
Quantifying the Protective Properties and Adhesion to the Substrate of Ultra-thin Multilayer Diamond-like Carbon Coatings Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation

description: Ultra-thin multilayer diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are used in precision engineering applications (including hard disk drives (HDDs)); their high hardness, chemical stability, and low friction coefficient in a range of environments allow protecting delicate substrate materials from damage, wear, and corrosion. A critical challenge when designing ultra-thin DLC coatings is understanding how they deform and delaminate from the substrate as a function of operating and coating design parameters including coating layer thickness and composition. We use molecular dynamics simulations of the ultra-thin multilayer DLC coatings used in HDD recording heads, which consist of stacked layers of DLC and amorphous silicon (a-Si) on a Ni substrate, to quantify the effect of coating design parameters on the mechanical properties of the coating, plastic deformation of the substrate, and adhesion of the coating to the substrate. Based on the physical understanding gained from the simulations we derive design guidelines for ultra-thin multilayer DLC coatings. We find that the hardness and Young's modulus of the coating increase with increasing DLC layer thickness and decreasing a-Si layer thickness because DLC and a-Si are the hardest and softest materials in the coating, respectively. We observe that plastic deformation of the Ni substrate for a constant mechanical load increases with increasing coating hardness because plastic deformation is increasingly preferential to the substrate with increasing coating hardness, causing the DLC coating to bend like a plate into the plastically deformed substrate. We show that the presence of an intermediate a-Si layer is critical for improving adhesion of the DLC coating to the Ni substrate because bonding between Ni and DLC distorts the Ni lattice more than bonding between a-Si and Ni. Similarly, we observe that that an intermediate layer comprised of low sp3-fraction DLC improves adhesion of high sp3-fraction DLC to Si but not Ni substrates compared to coatings without an intermediate layer. For coatings with an intermediate a-Si layer, adhesion improves with decreasing a-Si layer thickness because less a-Si is present to plastically deform during loading, which displaces the coating failure region from the a-Si layer into the Ni substrate.

description: We explore the impact of nonstandard interactions on neutrino propagation in accretion disks around binary neutron star mergers remnants. We show flavor evolution can be significantly modified even for values of the nonstandard couplings well below current bounds. We demonstrate the occurrence of I resonances as synchronized MSW phenomena and show that intricate conversion patterns might appear depending on the nonstandard interaction parameters. We discuss the possible implications for nucleosynthesis.

The Discovery of Spiral Arms in the Starburst Galaxy M82

description: We report the discovery of two symmetric spiral arms in the near-infrared (NIR) images of the starburst galaxy M82. The spiral arms are recovered when an axi-symmetric exponential disk is subtracted from the NIR images. The arms emerge from the ends of the NIR bar and can be traced up to three disk scalelengths. The winding of the arms is consistent with an m=2 logarithmic spiral mode of pitch angle 14 degrees. The arms are bluer than the disk in spite of their detection on the NIR images. If the northern side of the galaxy is nearer to us, as is normally assumed, the observed sense of rotation implies trailing arms. The nearly edge-on orientation, high disk surface brightness, and the presence of a complex network of dusty filaments in the optical images, are responsible for the lack of detection of the arms in previous studies.

Quantifying Groundwater Discharge from the Valley-Fill Aquifer in Moab-Spanish Valley near Moab, Utah

description: Moab City and Grand County rely on groundwater for public water supply. Recent development and an increase in water right applications prompted area water managers to call for an updated evaluation of local groundwater resources. The purpose of this study is to (1) prepare a conceptual groundwater flow model for lower Moab-Spanish Valley by delineating flow paths and identifying sources of recharge to the valley-fill aquifer, in order to (2) quantify groundwater outflow to the Colorado River to improve estimates of groundwater available for public use. Samples were collected from 30 wells to analyze major ions, tritium, noble gases, CFCs, SF6, and deuterium and oxygen-18 stable isotopes. The groundwater budget was evaluated by estimating discharge to the Colorado River and loss to Mill Creek. Groundwater discharge was estimated first by performing a Darcy Flux calculation. Twelve new observation wells were drilled and installed in a transect across the Scott M. Matheson Wetlands Preserve, ranging in depth from 25 to 60 feet below ground surface. Eight single-well tests and two dual-well tests were performed to determine transmissivity, which ranged from 90 to 5,400 ft2/day, with a median of approximately 1000 ft2/day. The hydraulic gradient was determined by creating a potentiometric surface map using water levels from both new observation wells and previously existing private wells. Discharge was estimated to be 300 acre-feet per year. A second, independent estimate of groundwater discharge was made using environmental tracer data to determine change in age across some distance along a flow path. 3H/3He ages in the valley-fill aquifer range from 0 to 57 years. Average discharge had a value of 1,000 acre-feet per year. A bromide tracer test was performed to evaluate whether some groundwater was lost to Mill Creek before discharging into the Colorado River. Gain in Mill Creek was found to be negligible. Geochemical properties of valley wells indicate that the valley-fill aquifer is not recharged by water from Glen Canyon Group Aquifer (GCGA), as previously hypothesized by Sumsion (1971); rather, it is more likely recharged by loss from Mill and Pack Creeks.
