description: Reflection is an essential part of iterative creative work and documenting process is constructive to that practice. However, there are many misconceptions about what it means to document process and it is often considered in opposition to productivity. How can design help with documenting and making reflection explicit during process? What is the best approach for designing reflective features for the sake of reflection?

description: This work explores the processing-microstructure-property relationships in two-phase titanium alloys such as Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-5Al-5V-5Mo-3Cr that are used for aerospace applications. For this purpose, an Integrated Computational Materials Engineering approach is used. Microstructure and texture of titanium alloys are characterized using optical microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction and x-ray diffraction. To model their properties, threedimensional synthetic digital microstructures are generated based on experimental characterization data. An open source software package, DREAM.3D, is used to create heterogeneous two-phase microstructures that are statistically representative of two-phase titanium alloys. Both mean-field and full-field crystal plasticity models are used for simulating uniaxial compression at different loading conditions. A viscoplastic self-consistent model is used to match the stress-strain response of the Ti-5553 alloy based on uniaxial compression tests. A physically-based Mechanical Threshold Stress (MTS) model is designed to cover wide ranges of deformation conditions. Uncertainties in the parameters of the MTS model are quantified using canonical correlation analysis, a multivariate global sensitivity analysis technique. An elastoviscoplastic full-field model based on the fast Fourier transform algorithm was used to used to simulate the deformation response at both microscopic and continuum level. The probability distribution of stresses and strains for both the phases in the two-phase material is examined statistically. The effect of changing HCP phase volume fraction and morphology has been explored with the intent of explaining the ow softening behavior in titanium alloys.

description: While various observations measured ellipticities of galaxy clusters and alignments between orientations of the brightest cluster galaxies and their host clusters, there are only a handful of numerical simulations that implement realistic baryon physics to allow direct comparisons with those observations. Here we investigate ellipticities of galaxy clusters and alignments between various components of them and the central galaxies in the state-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamical simulation Horizon-AGN, which contains dark matter, stellar, and gas components in a large simulation box of $(100 h^{-1}$ Mpc$)^3$ with high spatial resolution ($\sim1$ kpc). We estimate ellipticities of total matter, dark matter, stellar, gas surface mass density distributions, X-ray surface brightness, and the Compton $y$-parameter of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect, as well as alignments between these components and the central galaxies for 120 projected images of galaxy clusters with masses $M_{200}>5\times10^{13}M_{\odot}$. Our results indicate that the distributions of these components are well aligned with the major-axes of the central galaxies, with the root mean square value of differences of their position angles of $\sim 20^\circ$, which vary little from inner to the outer regions. We also estimate alignments of these various components with total matter distributions, and find tighter alignments than those for central galaxies with the root mean square value of $\sim 15^\circ$. We compare our results with previous observations of ellipticities and position angle alignments and find reasonable agreements. The comprehensive analysis presented in this paper provides useful prior information for analyzing stacked lensing signals as well as designing future observations to study ellipticities and alignments of galaxy clusters.

description: Sums of walks for charged particles (e.g. Hofstadter electrons) on a square lattice in the presence of a magnetic field are evaluated. Returning loops are systematically added to directed paths to obtain the unrestricted propagators. Expressions are obtained for special values of the magnetic flux-per-plaquette commensurate with the flux quantum. For commensurate and incommensurate values of the flux, the addition of small returning loops does not affect the general features found earlier for directed paths. Lattice Green's functions are also obtained for staggered flux configurations encountered in models of high-Tc superconductors.

Subjects: subject: 39999 Chemical Sciences not elsewhere classified

description: work explores the application of Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) to improve various aspects of synthesizing well-defined porous polymer-based materials. The thesis specifically focuses on two particular classes on materials; mesoporous nitrogen-doped nanostructured carbons (N-doped nanocarbons) and polymerized high internal phase emulsions (polyHIPEs). The introductory chapter discusses, in great detail, reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) methods, including ATRP, that can be used to synthesize polyacrylonitrile-based precursors for the preparation N-doped nanocarbons and discusses their potential applications. The introduction chapter also details the requirements for formation of HIPEs and polyHIPEs, with a focus on the various hurdles that must be overcome for polyHIPEs to become commercially viable and widely applicable materials. Chapter 2 focuses on the synthesis of PAN-containing block copolymer (BCP) precursors by initiators for continuous activator regeneration (ICAR) and metal free (MF) ATRP, which allow for a significant reduction in the concentration of Cu-catalyst required for synthesis of well-defined BCPs; to 1 ppm in ICAR ATRP or no metal catalyst in MF ATRP. Chapter 3 discusses the synthesis of a range of PAN-based stars and characterization of carbon materials derived from these precursors. Chapter 4 discusses the synthesis and use of tetrazine cross-linked SiO2-g-Poly(4-cyanostyrene) as precursor for nitrogen-doped nanocarbons. The application of ATRP to prepare materials for use in HIPE systems and synthesize polyHIPEs was investigated in Chapter 5, where optimized conditions for activators generated by electron transfer (AGET) ATRP were developed to synthesize fully degradable polyHIPEs from commercially available monomers and cross-linker. Chapter 6 details the synthesis poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(n-butyl acrylate) mikto-arm stars that preferentially formed water in oil HIPEs and were able to stabilize water-in-xylene emulsions with star loading (vs. total emulsion) down to 0.005 wt% and water-in-styrene HIPEs down to 0.04 wt%. In a final step towards preparing a surfactant free stable polyHIPEs these mikto-arm stars were functionalized with reactive alkyl halide or vinyl moieties, so they could be incorporated into the polyHIPE network, as well as stabilize the HIPE, which is discussed in Chapter 7.

TEpla: A Certified Type Enforcement Access-Control Policy Language

Type Enforcement

description: In today's information era, the security of computer systems as resources of invaluable information is of crucial importance not just to security administrators but also to users of these systems. Access control is an information security process which guards protected resources against unauthorized access as specified by restrictions in security policies. One significant obstacle to regulate access in secure systems is the lack of formal semantics and specifications for the policy languages which are used in writing security policies. Expressing security policies that are implemented pursuant to required security goals and that accommodate security policy rules correctly is of high importance to the system's integrity, confidentiality, and availability. The semantics of the most widely used policy languages such as SELinux is expressed in a declarative manner using a colloquial natural language (e.g., English), which leads to ambiguity in the interpretation of the policy statements. For this reason, both the development and the analysis of security policies are generally imprecise and based on cognitive concepts; that is to say, they are not conducted in a mathematically-precise and verifiable way. Type Enforcement (TE) is a MAC (Mandatory Access Control) access control mechanism that is used in the SELinux security module. Type Enforcement (TE) is implemented based on the type/domain field of security contexts. TE allows the creation of different domains in the system by assigning subjects to domains and subsequently associating them with objects. TE mandates a central policy-driven approach to access control. We propose a small and certifiably correct TE policy language, TEpla, as an appropriate candidate for the primary access control feature of SELinux, Type Enforcement. TEpla can provide ease of use, analysis, and verification of its properties. TEpla is a certified policy language with formal semantics, exposing ease of reasoning and allowing verification. We use the Coq proof assistant to mechanize semantics and to machine-check the proofs of TEpla, ensuring correctness guarantees are provided. Having a certified semantics simplifies and fosters the development of certified tools for policy-related tasks such as automating various kind of policy analyses.

description: We have developed an adaptive multigrid code for solving the Poisson equation in gravitational simulations. Finer rectangular subgrids are adaptively created in locations where the density exceeds a local level-dependent threshold. We describe the code, test it in cosmological simulations, and apply it to the study of the birth and evolution of a typical pancake singularity. The initial conditions for the pancake are generated on the basis of the theory of Lagrangian singularities; we follow its evolution for a few collapse times, finding a rich substructure in the final object. We achieve a spatial resolution of 1/1024 of the size of the overall computational cube in the central parts of the pancake, with computing time comparable to that of the FFT-solvers.

description: We rederive the $w_\infty$ Ward identities, starting from the existence of trivial linearized gauge invariances, and using the method of canceled propagators in the operator formalism. Recursion relations for certain classes of correlation functions are derived, and these correlation function are calculated exactly. We clarify the relation of these results with another derivation of the Ward identities, which relies directly on charge conservation. We also emphasize the importance of the kinematics of canceled propagators in ensuring that the Ward identities are non-trivial. Finally, we sketch an extension of Ward identities to open strings.

Here, we calculate the temperature derivative of the superfluid density, to pin down the transition. Away from half-band filling, the above quantity, shows a response which increases with lattice size at the transition temperature. In contrast, such a signal is not observed for the case of a half-band filling.

Creep, recovery, and waves in a nonlinear fiber-reinforced viscoelastic solid

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We present a constitutive model capturing some of the experimentally observed features of soft biological tissues: nonlinear viscoelasticity, nonlinear elastic anisotropy, and nonlinear viscous anisotropy. For this model we derive the equation governing rectilinear shear motion in the plane of the fiber reinforcement; it is a nonlinear partial differential equation for the shear strain. Specializing the equation to the quasi-static processes of creep and recovery, we find that usual (exponential-like) time growth and decay exist in general, but that for certain ranges of values for the material parameters and for the angle between the shearing direction and the fiber direction, some anomalous behaviors emerge. These include persistence of a nonzero strain in the recovery experiment, strain growth in recovery, strain decay in creep, disappearance of the solution after a finite time, and similar odd comportments. For the full dynamical equation of motion, we find kink (traveling wave) solutions which cannot reach their assigned asymptotic limit.

Quantum-state comparison and discrimination

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We investigate the performance of discrimination strategy in the comparison task of known quantum states. In the discrimination strategy, one infers whether or not two quantum systems are in the same state on the basis of the outcomes of separate discrimination measurements on each system. In some cases with more than two possible states, the optimal strategy in minimum-error comparison is that one should infer the two systems are in different states without any measurement, implying that the discrimination strategy performs worse than the trivial "no-measurement" strategy. We present a sufficient condition for this phenomenon to happen. For two pure states with equal prior probabilities, we determine the optimal comparison success probability with an error margin, which interpolates the minimum-error and unambiguous comparison. We find that the discrimination strategy is not optimal except for the minimum-error case.

description: We investigate the gravitational waves and their properties in various modified teleparallel theories, such as $f(T), f(T,B)$ and $f(T,T_G)$ gravities. We perform the perturbation analysis both around a Minkowski background, as well as in the case where a cosmological constant is present, and for clarity we use both the metric and tetrad language. For $f(T)$ gravity we verify the result that no further polarization modes comparing to general relativity are present at first-order perturbation level, and we show that in order to see extra modes one should look at third-order perturbations. For non-trivial $f(T,B)$ gravity, by examining the geodesic deviation equations, we show that extra polarization models, namely the longitudinal and breathing modes, do appear at first-order perturbation level, and the reason for this behavior is the fact that although the first-order perturbation does not have any effect on $T$, it does affect the boundary term $B$. Finally, for $f(T,T_G)$ gravity we show that at first-order perturbations the gravitational waves exhibit the same behavior to those of $f(T)$ gravity. Since different modified teleparallel theories exhibit different gravitational wave properties, the dvancing gravitational-wave astronomy would help to alleviate the degeneracy not only between curvature and torsional modified gravity but also between different subclasses of modified teleparallel gravities.

Gravitational Lensing of Variability-slected QSO by Galaxy Clusters
Creators: name: Rodrigues-Williams, L. L.
name: Hawkins, M. R. S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Distribution and properties of QSOs behind galaxy clusters in the UKJ287 field were studied. QSOs were selected using variability criteria and are confined to $z \ge 0.4$ and $m_B \le 19.5$. No reddening or obscuration of background QSOs due to dust in clusters is detected. A statistically significant positive angular correlation between clusters ($\langle z\rangle \simeq 0.15$) and QSOs ($0.4 \le z \le 2.2$) on scales of several arcminutes is found. This number overdensity of QSOs behind clusters is ascribed to weak gravitational lensing by foreground galaxy clusters. The overdensity of QSOs increases as their limiting magnitude gets brighter in a way that would be expected from a simple lensing model derived using Boyle, Shanks \& Peterson (1988) QSO number counts and an average amplification of $A=2$ due to clusters. The implied amplification is substantially larger than would be expected from isothermal sphere clusters with a velocity dispersion $σ_v \sim 1000$ km/s.

Two-dimensional Dirac nodal loop magnons in collinear antiferromagnets

description: We study the nontrivial linear magnon band crossings in the collinear antiferromagnets on the two-dimensional (2D) CaVO lattice, also realized in some iron-based superconductors such as AFe$_{1.6+x}$Se$_2$ (A = K, Rb, Cs). It is shown that the combination of space-inversion and time-reversal symmetry ($\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry) leads to doubly-degenerate eight magnon branches, which cross each other linearly along a one-dimensional loop in the 2D Brillouin zone. We show that the Dirac nodal loops (DNLs) are not present in the collinear ferromagnet on this lattice. Thus, the current 2D antiferromagnetic DNLs are symmetry-protected and they provide a novel platform to search for their analogs in 2D electronic antiferromagnetic systems.

We investigate the symmetry structure generated by the most conventional currents (those of vanishing total ghost number), and make a conjecture about the extended algebra which results from incorporating the currents at negative ghost number.

description: We describe and implement a first-principles algorithm based on maximally-localized Wannier functions for calculating the shift-current response of piezoelectric crystals in the independent-particle approximation. The proposed algorithm presents several advantages over existing ones, including full gauge invariance, low computational cost, and a correct treatment of the optical matrix elements with nonlocal pseudopotentials. Band-truncation errors are avoided by a careful formulation of $k\cdot p$ perturbation theory within the subspace of wannierized bands. The needed ingredients are the matrix elements of the Hamiltonian and of the position operator in the Wannier basis, which are readily available at the end of the wannierization step. If the off-diagonal matrix elements of the position operator are discarded, our expressions reduce to the ones that have been used in recent tight-binding calculations of the shift current. We find that this `diagonal' approximation can introduce sizeable errors, highlighting the importance of carefully embedding the tight-binding model in real space for an accurate description of the charge transfer that gives rise to the shift current.

Subjects: Design

description: Most people value the highly personalized service they receive from their barber, handyman, or financial advisor. These providers get to know individual customers, and they tailor their offerings to better match specific needs. This leads to loyalty, as customers return for the personal service. Interestingly, many national and international services (including retail stores, airlines, and hotels) buy their customers’ loyalty by running loyalty programs that offer points and rewards. Loyalty programs collect information on individual customers; however, this information never gets passed on to a customer service representative, allowing them to personalize the service they provide to an individual customer. My thesis project investigates if loyalty program data can be collected and fed back to a customer-facing employee, allowing them to personalize their performance to an individual customer in a way that both provides value to customers as well as makes the employee feel they are better at performing their job. To arrive at my service design recommendations for customer-employee interactions in in-person settings, I conducted interviews as well as a large online survey to test my design concepts.

description: The success of a city’s transition initiatives depends on how effectively members of a community can work together. Transitioning a community often involves major shifts in lifestyle and social realities that may expose a gap between administrative goals and varying residential needs. This gap can cause tensions between stakeholders and ultimately break down transition efforts. Visual storytelling can empower members of a community to become more informed, engaged, collaborative and productive during transition while fostering a more coherent connection to place. Pittsburgh’s rich historical narratives, rooted in its steel industry, can provide an understanding of time and place, and help all current residents, and new residents in particular, connect with social histories enabling them to envision possible futures. My thesis project focused on determining how to deliver these stories in an effective way. My project approach was to be as immersive as possible throughout the research process. It involved exploring the city and discovering its historical narratives for myself as well as interviewing Pittsburgh residents to better understand their perspectives around the importance of learning local history. I discovered that residents don’t know a lot about Pittsburgh’s industrial heritage and that local narratives are often not physically accessible. Following these insights, I aimed to create a solution that would engage and raise overall awareness of Pittsburgh’s historical narratives among local residents. Research insights informed my final proposed design: a citywide information system embedded within Pittsburgh’s public bus stop infrastructure. This system presents historical narratives in a spatial context across the city’s urban landscape, helping residents realize the relationship between past, present, and possible futures.

description: This article explores the distinctions and similarities between American and British English, highlighting their historical development, grammatical variations, and lexical differences. While both forms share a common linguistic heritage, American English has evolved significantly due to the influence of diverse immigrant groups and cultural factors, resulting in unique vocabulary and usage patterns. The article examines key contrasts in spelling, punctuation, and grammar, including the treatment of collective nouns, the use of tenses, and informal speech patterns. Despite these variations, both American and British English are mutually intelligible and regarded as correct within their respective educational systems. This analysis underscores the importance of understanding these differences for learners and educators, emphasizing that both forms of English enrich global communication and cultural exchange.
Does Planck 2015 polarization favor high redshift reionization?

description: We study the relationship between signatures of high redshift ionization in large-angle CMB polarization power spectra and features in the Planck 2015 data. Using a principal component (PC) ionization basis that is complete to the cosmic variance limit out to $z_{\rm max}=30,40,50$, we find a robust $>95\%$ CL preference for ionization at $z>15$ with no preference for $z>40$. This robustness originates from the $\ell \sim 10$ region of the data which show high power relative to $\ell \le 8$ and result in a poor fit to a steplike model of reionization. Instead by allowing for high redshift reionization, the PCs provide a better fit by $2Δ\mathrm{ln}\mathcal{L} = 5-6$. Due to a degeneracy in the ionization redshift response, this improved fit is due to a single aspect of the model: the ability to accommodate $z>10$ component to the ionization as we illustrate with a two-step reionization model. For this and other models that accommodate such a component, its presence is allowed and even favored; for models that do not, their poor fit reflects statistical or systematic fluctuations. These possibilities produce very different and testable predictions at $\ell \sim 15-20$, as well as small but detectable differences at $\ell>30$ that can further restrict the high redshift limit of reionization.
description: Added appendix to address the claims on priors made in arXiv:1804.08476 and to demonstrate that improved fits can be associated with a single parameter for the high-z optical depth. (11 pages, 12 figures)

description: The magneto-optical activity of superconducting ${\rm YBa}_{2}{\rm Cu}_{3}{\rm O}_{7}$ observed by Karrai {\it et al.} is not present in many commonly employed models of vortex dynamics. Here we propose a simple, unifying picture for the frequency dependent magneto-optic response of type-II superconductors at low temperatures. We bring together Kohn's theorem, vortex core excitations, and vortex pinning and damping into a single expression for the conductivity tensor. The theory describes magneto-optical activity observed in infrared transmission measurements of thin films of ${\rm YBa}_{2}{\rm Cu}_{3}{\rm O}_{7}$.

description: Spectroscopic modeling of Type II supernovae (SNe) generally assumes steady-state. Following the recent suggestion of Utrobin & Chugai, but using the 1D non-LTE line-blanketed model atmosphere code CMFGEN, we investigate the effects of including time-dependent terms that appear in the statistical and radiative equilibrium equations. We base our discussion on the ejecta properties and the spectroscopic signatures obtained from time-dependent simulations, investigating different ejecta configurations, and covering their evolution from one day to six weeks after shock breakout. Compared to equivalent steady-state models, our time-dependent models produce SN ejecta that are systematically over-ionized, affecting helium at one week after explosion, but ultimately affecting all ions after a few weeks. While the continuum remains essentially unchanged, time-dependence effects on observed spectral lines are large. At the recombination epoch, HI lines and NaID are considerably stronger and broader than in equivalent steady-state models, while CaII8500A is weakened. If time dependence is allowed for, the HeI lines at 5875A and 10830A appear about 3 times stronger at one week, and HeI10830A persists as a blue-shifted absorption feature even at 6 weeks after explosion. Time dependence operates through the energy gain from changes in ionization and excitation, and, perhaps more universally across SN types, from the competition between recombination and expansion, which in-turn, can be affected by optical-depth effects. Our time-dependent models compare well with observations of the low-luminosity low-velocity SN 1999br and the more standard SN 1999em, reproducing the Halpha line strength at the recombination epoch, and without the need for setting unphysical requirements on the magnitude of nickel mixing.

description: We rederive uncertainty relations for the angular position and momentum of a particle on a circle by employing the exponential of the angle instead of the angle itself, which leads to circular variance as a natural measure of resolution. Intelligent states minimizing the uncertainty product under the constraint of a given uncertainty in angle or in angular momentum turn out to be given by Mathieu wave functions. We also discuss a number of physically feasible approximations to these optimal states. The theory is applied to the orbital angular momentum of a beam of photons and verified in an experiment that employs computer-controlled spatial light modulators both at the state preparation and analyzing stages.

Blockchain-enabled Intelligent Asset Exchange for a Circular Economy

description: As the notion of circular economy gains momentum, intelligent assets increasingly form the backbone of sustainable ecosystems. Although these assets can supply the necessary knowledge for fueling the value drivers of a circular economy, the generated value will be significantly amplified by allowing third parties to manage them and profit from better asset utilisation. However, for an everchanging networked environment consisting of numerous assets, ownership needs to be dynamic, granular and adaptable in order to maximise gains. Blockchain-based mechanisms can effectively serve this need by enabling transfer of asset ownership directly between parties participating in the circular economy while introducing trust, efficiency and automation in asset exchange contracts.

description: The 1D Heisenberg spin chain with anisotropy of the XXZ type is analyzed in terms of the symmetry given by the quantum Galilei group Gamma_q(1). We show that the magnon excitations and the s=1/2, n-magnon bound states are determined by the algebra. Thus the Gamma_q(1) symmetry provides a description that naturally induces the Bethe Ansatz. The recurrence relations determined by Gamma_q(1) permit to express the energy of the n-magnon bound states in a closed form in terms of Tchebischeff polynomials.
