PROBABILISTIC DESIGN AND RELIABILITY ANALYSIS WITH KRIGING AND ENVELOPE METHODS
Creators: name: Wu, Hao

Year: 2022
Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: In the mechanical design stage, engineers always meet with uncertainty, such as random variables, stochastic processes, and random processes. Due to the uncertainty, products may behave randomly with respect to time and space, and this may result in a high probability of failure, low lifetime, and low robustness. Although extensive research has been conducted on the component reliability methods, time- and space-dependent system reliability methods are still limited. This dissertation is motivated by the need of efficient and accurate methods for addressing time- and space-dependent system reliability and probabilistic design problems. The objective of this dissertation is to develop efficient and accurate methods for reliability analysis and design. There are five research tasks for this objective. The first research task develops a surrogate model with an active learning method to predict the time- and space-independent system reliability. In the second research task, the time- and space-independent system reliability is estimated by the second order saddlepoint approximation method. In the third research task, the time-dependent system reliability is addressed by an envelope method with efficient global optimization. In the fourth research task, a general time- and space-dependent problem is investigated. The envelope method converts the time- and space-dependent problem into time- and space-independent one, and the second order approximation is used to predict results. The last task proposes a new sequential reliability-based design with the envelope method for time- and spacedependent reliability. The accuracy and efficiency of our proposed methods are demonstrated through a wide range of mathematics problems and engineering problems.

Subjects: subject: American Studies
subject: Organization Development

description: Kentucky has a rich cultural and artistic tapestry that is part of the economic future of the state. An important consideration of this future is the artist-member organizations that serve Kentucky creatives and how they work together collaboratively, both internally and externally. The objective of this study was to see how ten different organizations viewed themselves and interacted with their communities in the way in which they are structure, or lack a definite structure as is the case with several different groups. Through web analysis and a series of interviews with organizations that provide benefits to Kentucky artists, we learn that there are no strict definitions to what these organizations are and that to continue, they will have to continue to become flexible and open to changes that may come their way.
Sharing individuals: Comprehensive understanding of consumers in peer-to-peer accommodation world.

Subjects: Hospitality management

description: Driven by various benefits, such as authenticity, enjoyment, sustainability, socialization, and uniqueness, peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation has become an increasingly important socio-economic phenomenon. To study this emerging hospitality consumption format systematically and to enhance the understanding of consumers’ motivations, perceptions, and behavioral intentions in the P2P accommodation context, three projects were proposed and completed in this dissertation. These focused on the mechanisms underlying consumers’ perceptions and participation in the world of P2P accommodation. Project I provided a comprehensive overview of how diverse motivators can influence consumers’ satisfaction and loyalty toward P2P accommodation services, following the push and pull theoretical framework. By conducting a meta analysis, Project I revealed that improving push motivators (i.e., psychological and intrinsic motivators) is more important than pull motivators (i.e., cognitive and extrinsic motivators) in enhancing consumers’ satisfaction, re-patronage intentions, and the spreading of positive word-of-mouth interactions. Next, by employing the dual-process theory, Project II comprised a series of three studies to investigate how various types of online reviews (i.e., fact-based versus emotion-based; property-focused versus host-focused) can affect consumers’ consumption decisions pertaining to P2P accommodation. The findings revealed that fact-based reviews result in higher booking intentions due to enhanced trust in the P2P property/host. Moreover, it was found that female consumers exhibit higher booking intentions when they read host-focused reviews. Finally, drawing on the norm activation theory, Project III comprised an investigation into how consumers’ altruistic value versus egoistic value orientations impacted their consumption intentions of sustainable P2P accommodation. Furthermore, by employing both survey and experimental design studies, the underlying mechanism explaining the impacts of various consumption value orientations on behavioral intentions was explored, focusing on booking intentions and willingness-to-pay-more for sustainable green P2P accommodation. Bringing these findings together, this dissertation provides theoretical and practical implications from various perspectives with regard to how consumers’ motivators and perceptions lead to their participation in the P2P accommodation world.

description: Suicide capability is suggested to facilitate the movement from suicidal ideation to suicide attempt. The most recent conceptualisation of capability is multifaceted and comprises acquired, dispositional, and practical contributors. Despite this multifaceted conceptualisation, research has tended to focus on acquired contributors using cross-sectional studies. Therefore, how contributors combine and interact to facilitate suicide attempts is less known. This mixed methods program of research sought to address these gaps by undertaking three studies: a scoping review, a collective case study that consisted of open-ended interviews with suicide attempt survivors, and an ecological momentary assessment study of capability comprising both suicide ideators and suicide attempters. Findings from the scoping review revealed that painful and provocative events may be more influential than fearlessness about death within the acquired contributor and capability may include a fourth cognitive contributor. Suicide attempt survivor narratives indicated that acquired and practical contributors appear to combine through interactions rather than an additive effect. Also within their narratives was individual agency being critical for both the decision to and actions taken when moving, readying, and attempting suicide. The final study found that increases and/or elevated acquired, practical, and perceived capabilities, and suicidal mental imagery might indicate an individual is readying to act on suicidal ideation. This program of research refined, extended, and advanced theoretical understanding of suicide capability within the ideation-to-action framework. Methodological advancements for suicide research included the value of conducting the most appropriate literature review for conceptual advancement, the usefulness of narratives from suicide attempt survivors for generating theoretical insights about the movement from ideation-to-action, and how ecological momentary assessments can help capture and conceptualise the moments leading up to and including self-harm.

description: Complex materials exhibit fascinating features especially in situations far from equilibrium. Thus, methods for investigating structural dynamics with sub‐second time resolution are becoming a question of interest at varying spatial scales. With novel microscopy techniques steadily improving, the temporal and spatial limits of multiple imaging methods are investigated with an emphasis on the important role of correlative imaging and cryo‐fixation. A deep‐dive is taken into cryo‐correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) as a starting point for multimodal investigations of ultrastructural dynamics at high spatiotemporal resolution. The focus is on highlighting the different microscopy methods that capture the following key aspects: 1) samples are as close to native state as possible 2) dynamic process information is captured, 3) high structural resolution is enabled. Additionally, the size of samples that can be imaged under these conditions is looked at and approaches not only focusing on single molecules, but larger structures are highlighted.

description: A significant number of resources are allocated to maintaining the resiliency of pharmaceutical supply chain as failure to do so thoroughly can result in drug shortages of essential medicines. Recently, the effects of COVID-19 exacerbated flaws in the current system causing the pharmaceutical industry and government organizations and to reassess relief strategies that could also strengthen the supply chain. Flow chemistry has become an attractive and prominent platform enabling continuous manufacturing (CM) technologies to synthesize active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) quickly according to demand. Compared to traditional batch chemistry, flow chemistry has demonstrated to be more robust in terms of throughput, scalability, and hazard reduction while maintaining a high degree of control and product quality. This work demonstrates these capabilities in reaction optimization and discovery with the overarching goal of domesticating CM to make essential medicines more affordable. A two-step process for the synthesis in diazepam was developed using a Chemtrix Labtrix S1 and Start microfluidic systems where purities as high as 98% were achieved. The system was successfully scaled up to a larger system that was able to produce 96% pure diazepam at a 91% yield.

description: Room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) batteries are an emergent new technology that are highly attractive due to their low raw materials cost and large theoretical specific energy. However, many fundamental problems still plague RT Na-S batteries that prevent their progression from the research and development phase to the commercial phase. Sulfur and its final discharge product are insulators, and intermediate polysulfide discharge products are soluble in commonly used liquid electrolytes. As a result, RT Na-S cells exhibit large capacity defects, low coulombic efficiencies, and rapid capacity fading. Additionally, the reactive sodium metal anode can form dendrites during cycling, which reduces capacity and shortens cell life. One way to combat these issues is the judicious selection of electrolyte components. In this study, the effects of monoglyme (G1), diglyme (G2), and tetraglyme (G4) glyme ether electrolyte solvents on RT Na-S cell performance are investigated. Galvanostatic cycling of Na/Na symmetric coin cells reveals that the G2 solvent enable stable cycling at low overpotentials over a wide range of current densities. In contrast, the G1-based cells show evidence of dendritic plating, and G4-based cells are not suitable for use at high current densities. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy during cycling confirms that the G2 solvent facilitates the formation of a strong, stable SEI on the Na electrode surface. Results from galvanostatic cycling of RT Na-S full coin cells demonstrates that G1-based cells deliver the highest initial specific discharge capacities among the three cell types, but G4-based cells are the most reversible. Infinite charging, the indefinite accrual of charge capacity at the high charge voltage plateau, affects all cell types at different cycle numbers and to different extents. This behavior is linked to the strength of the polysulfide shuttle during charge. Optical microscopy experiments show that G2 and G4 facilitate the formation of the S3•- sulfur radical, which reduces capacity. G1 minimizes the radical formation and thus delivers higher initial specific discharge capacity. In order to fully optimize the electrolyte for RT Na-S cells, future work should study glyme solvent blends, additives, and concentrated salts.

description: With the exponential growth and diversity of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, computational-intensive and delay-sensitive applications, such as object detection, smart homes, and smart grids, are emerging constantly. We can adopt the paradigm of cloud computing to offload computation-heavy tasks from IoT devices to a cloud server which can break through the limitation of IoT devices with more powerful resources. However, cloud computing architecture can cause high latency which is not suitable for IoT devices that have limited computing and storage capabilities. Edge computing has been introduced to improve this situation by deploying an edge device nearby IoT devices that can provide IoT devices computing resources with low latency compared to cloud computing. Nevertheless, the edge server may not be able to complete all the offloaded tasks from the devices in time when the requests are flooding. In such cases, the edge server can offload some of the requested tasks to a cloud server to further speed up the offloading process with more powerful cloud resources. In this paper, we aim to minimize the average completion time of tasks in an IoT edge-cloud environment, by optimizing the task offloading ratio from edge to cloud, based on Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG), a type of Reinforcement Learning (RL) approach. We propose a dynamic task offloading decision mechanism deployed on the edge that can determine the amounts of computational resources to be processed in the cloud server considering multiple factors to complete a task. Simulation results demonstrate that our dynamic task offloading decision mechanism can improve the overall completion time of tasks than naïve approaches.

description: Suicide is considered a major social and public health issue in Fiji, with the increasing number of deaths per year being of concern. Despite this, there is no recent synthesis of research regarding suicide and suicidality in Fiji to assist with understanding and planning appropriate preventative and intervention supports. To address this gap, a scoping review was conducted to identify what is known about suicide and suicidality in Fiji. Ten electronic databases were searched, resulting in 2459 potential studies being identified. After title and abstract screening, 30 studies were included for final analysis. A PRISMA flowchart was utilised to report the results with results being synthesised using a textual narrative approach. Some unique findings of this study include a high rate of suicide and suicidality among Indo Fijian females aged 15 to 30 years. Other key findings include a focus on singular suicide concepts such as death by suicide, a lack of clarity relating to suicide risk factors, a lack of emphasis on recent suicide theories, and the use of limited study design. This study is the first of its kind to widely scope and map the existing literature, to identify the unique features of suicide and suicidality in Fiji, and to identify the gaps in the existing literature. Findings from this study provide a basis to guide future research that will facilitate an enhanced understanding of suicide and suicidality in Fiji.

description: We report on the observation of a nonlinear intensity dependence of the terahertz radiation-induced ratchet effects in bilayer graphene with asymmetric dual-grating gate lateral lattices. These nonlinear ratchet currents are studied in structures of two designs with dual-grating gates fabricated on top of boron nitride encapsulated bilayer graphene and beneath it. The strength and sign of the photocurrent can be controllably varied by changing the bias voltages applied to individual dual-grating subgates and the back gate. The current consists of contributions insensitive to the radiation’s polarization state, defined by the orientation of the radiation electric field vector with respect to the dual-grating gate metal stripes, and the circular ratchet sensitive to the radiation helicity. We show that intense terahertz radiation results in a nonlinear intensity dependence caused by electron gas heating. At room temperature, the ratchet current saturates at high intensities of the order of hundreds to several hundreds of kW cm^-2⁠. At T = 4  K, the nonlinearity manifests itself at intensities that are one or two orders of magnitude lower; moreover, the photoresponse exhibits a complex dependence on the intensity, including a saturation and even a change of sign with increasing intensity. This complexity is attributed to the interplay of the Seebeck ratchet and the dynamic carrier-density redistribution, which feature different intensity dependencies and nonlinear behavior of the sample’s conductivity induced by electron gas heating. The latter is demonstrated by studying the THz photoconductivity. Our study demonstrates that graphene-based asymmetric dual-grating gate devices can be used as terahertz detectors at room temperature over a wide dynamic range, spanning many orders of magnitude of terahertz radiation power. Therefore, their integration together with current-driven read-out electronics is attractive for the operation with high-power pulsed sources.

description: Earth-orbiting space debris poses a severe threat to current and future space missions. To combat the dangers of debris, countries (and companies) perform collision avoidance using catalogs of space objects. Better technology has also led to the detection of more space objects, increasing the amount of data in these catalogs. With this increase in data comes a greater need for a single comprehensive catalog without duplicates, and this work proposes two methods of catalog correlation to address this need. These methods are tested using the publicly available Space-Track (US) and Vimpel (Russian) catalogs. The first method, called direct catalog comparison, directly correlates the Space-Track and Vimpel catalogs to determine the same objects between them. This method is validated using the datefirst.txt file – a file from Vimpel which lists Space-Track and Vimpel object pairs. When correlating the Vimpel objects in the datefirst.txt file to the Space-Track catalog, the direct catalog comparison method produces over 90\% of these pairs. It is also found that the datefirst.txt file pairing for Vimpel 92400 should be NORAD 42075 and not NORAD 41879. The second method, arc correlation, uses optical observations received from the Purdue Optical Ground Station and the German Aerospace Center to correlate optical observations to both of the catalogs. By matching observations to objects in the catalogs, these catalog objects are indirectly correlated to each other. This method is validated using tracking data messages containing observation sets of tasked Space-Track objects in various orbits. For all tasked Space-Track objects, even ones in a cluster, the tracking data messages are appropriately matched to the Space-Track catalog. For the cases where Vimpel objects are associated with these Space-Track objects – as claimed by the datefirst.txt file (except for the case listed above) – the appropriate Vimpel objects are matched to the tracking data messages. When observation sets of unknown objects are tested, the arc correlation method produces distinct and viable candidate matches for both catalogs. Overall, the direct catalog combination and arc correlation methods can be used together to effectively correlate the Space-Track and Vimpel catalogs, aiding the development of a comprehensive catalog of space objects.
A NEURAL-NETWORK-BASED CONTROLLER FOR MISSED-THRUST INTERPLANETARY TRAJECTORY DESIGN

description: The missed-thrust problem is a modern challenge in the field of mission design. While some methods exist to quantify its effects, there still exists room for improvement for algorithms which can fully anticipate and plan for a realistic set of missed-thrust events. The present work investigates the use of machine learning techniques to provide a robust controller for a low-thrust spacecraft. The spacecraft’s thrust vector is provided by a neural network controller which guides the spacecraft to the target along a trajectory that is robust to missed thrust, and the controller does not need to re-optimize any trajectories if it veers off its nominal course. The algorithms used to train the controller to account for missed thrust are supervised learning and neuroevolution. Supervised learning entails showing a neural network many examples of what inputs and outputs should look like, with the network learning over time to duplicate the patterns it has seen. Neuroevolution involves testing many neural networks on a problem, and using the principles of biological evolution and survival of the fittest to produce increasingly competitive networks. Preliminary results show that a controller designed with these methods provides mixed results, but performance can be greatly boosted if the controller’s output is used as an initial guess for an optimizer. With an optimizer, the success rate ranges from around 60% to 96% depending on the problem.
 Additionally, this work conducts an analysis of a novel hyperbolic rendezvous strategy which was originally conceived by Dr. Buzz Aldrin. Instead of rendezvousing on the outbound leg of a hyperbolic orbit (traveling away from Earth), the spacecraft performs a rendezvous while on the inbound leg (traveling towards Earth). This allows for a relatively low Delta-v abort option for the spacecraft to return to Earth if a problem arose during rendezvous. Previous work that studied hyperbolic rendezvous has always assumed rendezvous on the outbound leg because the total Delta-v required (total propellant required) for the insertion alone is minimal with this strategy. However, I show that when an abort maneuver is taken into consideration, inserting on the inbound leg is both lower Delta-v overall, and also provides an abort window which is up to a full day longer.

description:
There are numerous risk factors in asset pricing models that have been identified over the years. In this paper, we address the question of whether factors constructed using ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) scores could potentially meet the necessary requirements for risk factors in multifactor models. While numerous studies indicate that the ESG performance of firms could be financially material, the integration of ESG factors has so far not been fully evaluated. We pay particular attention to the problem of divergent scores across different rating providers and investigate whether the regression results of 4- and 5-factor models converge. The evaluation is carried out with Fama–French and Carhart models, extended by an additional factor representing ESG, respectively. We find that there are ESG factors across all investigated rating providers that capture common-variation in stock returns over time, indicating that ESG should be considered in common asset pricing models.

The Necessary Biography of Elysia Martinez-Smith by Ezra Speckman
Creators: name: Riker, Paul Joseph
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2022
Subjects: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: The Necessary Biography of Elysia Martinez-Smith by Ezra Speckman is the story of – as the title indicates – Elysia Martinez-Smith, a twentysomething writer, podcaster, and self-made media mogul. Told in chronological, protracted scenes, the biography follows her from her childhood growing up in Chicago’s north-shore suburbs; through her college years as an on-campus student leader at nearby Northwestern University; through her work as a blogger for the Trump-era feminist outlet SmileLess.org; culminating with her ascent to thought leader, content creator, and founder of her own website, the progressive-minded news collective Beecher Media Network.
 The “biography” is framed as a found text: Ezra Speckman, the work’s author and a former friend of Martinez-Smith’s, left the work unfinished; as such, it is presented to the reader as containing his notes and marginalia. Through these notes, inconsistencies in Martinez-Smith’s character – and Speckman’s motivations – emerge.

UNSUPERVISED AND SEMI-SUPERVISED LEARNING IN AUTOMATIC INDUSTRIAL IMAGE INSPECTION

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Artificial intelligence not elsewhere classified

description: It has been widely studied in industry production environment to apply computer version onX-ray images for automatic visual inspection. Traditional methods embrace image processingtechniques and require custom design for each product. Although the accuracy of this approachvaries, it often fall short to meet the expectations in the production environment. Recently, deeplearning algorithms have significantly promoted the capability of computer vision in various tasksand provided new prospects for the automatic inspection system. Numerous studies appliedsupervised deep learning to inspect industrial images and reported promising results. However,the methods used in these studies are often supervised, which requires heavy manual annotation.It is therefore not realistic in many manufacturing scenarios because products are constantlyupdated. Data collection, annotation and algorithm training can only be performed after thecompletion of the manufacturing process, causing a significant delay in training the models andestablishing the inspection system. This research was aimed to tackle the problem usingunsupervised and semi-supervised methods so that these computer vision-based machine learningapproaches can be rapidly deployed in real-life scenarios. More specifically, this dissertationproposed an unsupervised approach and a semi-supervised deep learning method to identifydefective products from industrial inspection images. The proposed methods were evaluated onseveral open source inspection datasets and a dataset of X-Ray images obtained from a die castingplant. The results demonstrated that the proposed approach achieved better results than otherstate-of-the-art techniques on several occasions.
