description: This is a report on the general geology of the Elysian Park-Silver lake district; a six square mile tract of hilly country lying just north of the city of Los Angeles.

The rock units present are granitio bedrock of Jurassic(?)
age, sediments of Tertiary age and Quaternary alluvium. The bedrock is a granodiorite; the Tertiary beds which are divided into the Topanga of middle Miocene and Modelo of upper Miocene ages are made up of sandstone and shale; and the Quaternary alluvium consists of reworked Tertiary and granitic bedrock detritus.

The main structural feature over most of the area is a wide
east-west anticline. A few extensive faults and a great many minor faults occur, all of which dip at a high angle.

The geologic history of the area began with the intrusion of the granitic bedrock. The area was then extensively eroded exposing the bedrock to the surface. Then followed the unconformable deposition of the Topanga formation, followed by folding and faulting. Later unconformable deposition of the Modelo occurred, followed by more folding and faulting. There is a time break between upper Miocene and upper Pleistocene in sedimentation. In upper
Pleistocene time alluvial fans were deposited over the northern part but later partially eroded off to give present landscape.

description: The conical transformation of variables of M.D. Haskind and S. V. Falkovich is applied to the steady-state problem of thin delta wings with subsonic leading edges in a supersonic flow. It is shown that solutions may be obtained, in terms of elliptic functions, for lifting wings of zero thickness with prescribed angle-of-attack distribution, and for symmetric non-lifting where the perturbation pressure is prescribed on the wing surface (thickness case, mean-surface assumption); the wing boundary conditions are assumed to be given in terms of polynomials in the space variables in the plane of the wing. Some previously known results are obtained to illustrate the method of analysis.
Chiral Superfluidity for the Heavy Ion Collisions

description: We argue that the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma formed at LHC and RHIC can be considered as a chiral superfluid. The "normal" component of the fluid is the thermalized matter in common sense, while the "superfluid" part consists of long wavelength (chiral) fermionic states moving independently. We use the bosonization procedure with a finite cut-off and obtain a dynamical axion-like field out of the chiral fermionic modes. Then we use relativistic hydrodynamics for macroscopic description of the effective theory obtained after the bosonization. Finally, solving the hydrodynamic equations in gradient expansion, we find that in the presence of external electromagnetic fields the motion of the "superfluid" component gives rise to the chiral magnetic, chiral electric and dipole wave effects. Latter two effects are specific for a two-component fluid, which provides us with crucial experimental tests of the model. By considering probe quarks one can show that the fermionic spectrum at the intermediate temperatures (T_c < T < 2 T_c) has a gap between near-zero modes and the bulk of the spectrum - one more hint supporting the two-component model.

Ground-state phase diagram and critical temperature of two-component Bose gases with Rashba spin-orbit coupling
Creators: name: Yu, Zeng-Qiang
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Ground-state phase diagram of two-component Bose gases with Rashba spin-orbit coupling is determined via a variational approach. A phase in which the fully polarized condensate occupies zero momentum is identified. This zero-momentum phase competes with the spin density wave phase when interspecies interaction is stronger than intraspecies interaction, and the former one is always the ground state for weak spin-orbit coupling. When the energies of these two phases are close, there is a phase separation between them. At finite temperature, such a zero-momentum condensation can be induced by a ferromagnetic phase transition in normal state. The spontaneous spin polarization removes the degeneracy of quasiparticles' energy minima, and consequently the modified density of state accommodates a Bose condensation to appear below a critical temperature.

description: The principal problem dealt with is the derivation of a method for computing the optimum pitch distribution of a lightly loaded, sweptback propeller. The method is based on an extension to the work of Glauert as presented in Volume IV of the Durand series. A complete calculation is carried out for a swept propeller in which the resultant velocities along the blade vary through the transonic regime. The analytical work is simplified by the use of the calculus of variations.  A survey of the German literature on this topic is included along with a complete discussion of the aerodynamic parameters to be considered in making of such a design.

description: We investigate the near-critical dynamics of atomic density fluctuations in the non-equilibrium self-organization transition of an optically driven quantum gas coupled to a single mode of a cavity. In this system cavity-mediated long-range interactions between atoms, tunable by the drive strength, lead to softening of an excitation mode recently observed in experiments. This phenomenon has previously been studied within a two-mode approximation for the collective motional degrees of freedom of the atomic condensate which results in an effective open-system Dicke model. Here, including the full spectrum of atomic modes we find a finite lifetime for a roton-like mode in the Bogoliubov excitation spectrum that is strongly pump-dependent. The corresponding decay rate and critical exponents for the phase-transition are calculated explaining the non-monotonic pump-dependent atomic damping rate observed in recent experiments. We compute the near-critical behavior of the intra-cavity field fluctuations, that has been previously shown to be enhanced with respect to the equilibrium Dicke model in a two-mode approximation. We highlight the role of the finite size of the system in the suppression of it below the expectations of the open Dicke model.

description: We construct local solutions to eleven-dimensional supergravity describing M2-branes intersecting and/or ending on M5-branes, in the near-horizon limit of the M2-branes. Global solutions describing these theories should have 16 supercharges and asymptotic AdS_4 x S^7 regions, as well as M5-branes wrapping AdS_3 x S^3 subspaces. We construct the local solution describing a stack of an arbitrary number of M5-branes with AdS_3 x S^3 worldvolume and arbitrary M2-brane charge. Our construction provides a mechanism to get around the no-go theorem that rules out the existence of global solutions preserving 16 supercharges interpolating between AdS_7 x S^4 and AdS_4 x S^7 regions.

description: Scalar-tensor theories of gravity are natural phenomenological alternatives to General Relativity, where the gravitational interaction is mediated by a scalar degree of freedom, besides the usual tensor gravitons. In regions of the parameter space of these theories where constraints from both solar system experiments and binary-pulsar observations are satisfied, we show that binaries of neutron stars present marked differences from General Relativity in both the late-inspiral and merger phases. In particular, phenomena related to the spontaneous scalarization of isolated neutron stars take place in the late stages of the evolution of binary systems, with important effects in the ensuing dynamics. We comment on the relevance of our results for the upcoming Advanced LIGO/Virgo detectors.

description: In this paper, we numerically investigate the robustness of cooperation clusters in prisoner's dilemma played on scale-free networks, where the network topologies change by continuous removal and addition of nodes. Each removal and addition can be either random or intentional. We therefore have four different strategies in changing network topology: random removal and random addition (RR), random removal and preferential addition (RP), targeted removal and random addition (TR), and targeted removal and preferential addition (TP). We find that cooperation clusters are most fragile against TR, while they are most robust against RP, even for large values of the temptation coefficient for defection. The effect of the degree mixing pattern of the network is not the primary factor for the robustness of cooperation under continuous change in network topology, which is quite different from the cases observed in static networks. Cooperation clusters become more robust as the number of links of hubs occupied by cooperators increase. Our results might infer the fact that a huge variety of individuals is needed for maintaining global cooperation in social networks in the real world where each node representing an individual is constantly removed and added.

description: We report computer simulations of oscillatory athermal quasi-static shear deformation of dense amorphous samples of a three dimensional model glass former. A dynamical transition is observed as the amplitude of the deformation is varied: for large values of the amplitude the system exhibits diffusive behavior and loss of memory of the initial conditions, whereas localization is observed for small amplitudes. Our results suggest that the same kind of transition found in driven colloidal systems is present in the case of amorphous solids (e.g. metallic glasses). The onset of the transition is shown to be related to the onset of energy dissipation. Shear banding is observed for large system sizes, without, however, affecting qualitative aspects of the transition.

Erdbrink (1953) collapsed all taxa into a broadly encompassing " Ursus "; also suggested by the hybridization criteria of Van Gelder (1977b). A consensus tree, not shown, but derived from hypotheses presented in Goldman et al. (1989) would not elucidate relationships below this level. Simpson (1945) followed Pocock (1941a) and recognized these taxa as monotypic genera.

Response of a uniform free-pinned beam to lateral sinusoidal and random excitation

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1961
Subjects: subject: Mechanical Engineering
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: The equation of motion for a beam in flexure is solved for a free-pinned beam excited by two types of point forcing functions. The two forcing functions, one varying sinusoidally in time and the other randomly, are expressed in terms of a displacement input at the pinned end of the beam. The response of the beam is expressed in terms of strain as a function of location along the length of the beam.

The results of an experiment to evaluate the damping coefficient for each of the five lowest bending modes of the beam are reported. The damping coefficients were calculated from the equation for the response of the beam to sinusoidal excitation using experimentally measured values of the displacement at the input end and strain along the beam.

description: Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods have received considerable attention over the last decades due to their great promise for providing a direct solution to the many-body Schrodinger equation in electronic systems. Thanks to their low scaling with number of particles, QMC methods present a compelling competitive alternative for the accurate study of large molecular systems and solid state calculations. In spite of such promise, the method has not permeated the quantum chemistry community broadly, mainly because of the fixed-node error, which can be large and whose control is difficult. In this Perspective, we present a systematic application of large scale multi-determinant expansions in QMC, and report on its impressive performance with first row dimers and the 55 molecules of the G1 test set. We demonstrate the potential of this strategy for systematically reducing the fixed-node error in the wave function and for achieving chemical accuracy in energy predictions. When compared to traditional quantum chemistry methods like MP2, CCSD(T), and various DFT approximations, the QMC results show a marked improvement over all of them. In fact, only the explicitly-correlated CCSD(T) method with a large basis set produces more accurate results. Further developments in trial wave functions and algorithmic improvements appear promising for rendering QMC as the benchmark standard in large electronic systems.

These measurements allow efficient and rapid characterization of single atom traps that is required for many coherent quantum information protocols. Although this method is demonstrated using a single atom trap, the concept is readily extended to resolvable atomic arrays.

description: To examine the lived experiences of young people successfully managing life with ADHD and investigate the applicability of adult models of Recovery to these individuals. Twenty-seven young people aged 15–31 years participated in qualitative interviews. Participants’ success was indicated by employment, school attendance, absence of acute mental health episodes, or absence of chronic alcohol or drug use. Thematic analysis identified specific components of their life successes and challenges. The emergent framework comprised four elements: (i) Recovernance (RE) (a portmanteau merging ‘Recovery’ and ‘Maintenance’; ongoing adjustment to maintain one’s personal best without an end point); (ii) Personal Optimization (PO) (continuously striving to maximize function and adjust one’s goals given fluctuating impairments and internal resources); (iii) Self (S) (facing internal challenges and developing internal resilience); and (iv) Environment (E) (facing external challenges and fostering external resilience). These four elements yielded the acronym ‘REPOSE’. Recovery in young people with ADHD was not a linear journey, with many missteps leading to greater self-knowledge, life skills and mastery. Progress was leveraged on securely anchored internal and external resilience factors against the prospect of setbacks. Findings provide new concepts and novel lexicons to extend existing concepts in Recovery. Implications for rehabilitationCounselling and therapy for young people with ADHD should foster self-understanding, goal setting and self-vigilance as an ongoing process to build their capacity to tackle setbacks and adversities.Counselling and therapy for young people with ADHD focus on a strengths-based approach building internal and external resources, such as developing skills and establishing social connections that build infrastructure in the environment for meaningful participation.

description: We study the quantum geometric heat flux in the nonequilibrium spin-boson model. By adopting the noninteracting-blip approximation that is able to accommodate the strong system-bath coupling, we show that there exists a nonzero geometric heat flux only when the two-level system is nondegenerate. Moreover, the pumping, no pumping, and dynamic control of geometric heat flux are discussed in detail, compared to the results with Redfield weak-coupling approximation. In particular, the geometric energy transfer induced by modulation of two system-bath couplings is identified, which is exclusive to quantum transport in the strong system-bath coupling regime.

description: This study investigates the role of prior knowledge in supporting Japanese foreign language (FL) learners’ L2 higher order thinking skills. Scholars recognize prior knowledge integration as the critical stage where learning occurs (Anderson et al., 2001; Britton, 1994; Kintsch, 1988, 1998), and consider it an untapped resource in the FL classroom (Bernhardt, 2005; Hulstijn, 2011; Koda & Yamashita, 2018). To this end, Koda & Yamashita (2018) developed the reading to learn framework, which entails the extraction of text information, integration of relevant priorknowledge with text content, and refinement of knowledge. Employing this framework, this study investigates the role of prior knowledge in promoting FL learners’ reading to learn skills. Sixty-six Japanese as a foreign language learners took two versions of a reading to learn test, where they read about societal issues in Japan. One version provided scaffolding to help learners integrate relevant prior knowledge with the text, while the other version provided language activities. Students then expressed their refined understanding of the topic in a series of reflection questions, which were scored and coded for prior knowledge activation. Findings reveal that the scaffolding condition slightly increased learners’ prior knowledge activation, butdid not affect learners’ reflection scores, which were mainly predicted by the response length. Although learners displayed adequate reading comprehension and coherent writing, poor scorers tended to not use information from the text or their prior knowledge to support their conclusions.These findings suggest that FL learners can be encouraged to utilize their world knowledge in class, but may lack the motivation or linguistic fluency to explain this knowledge when discussing complex cultural issues. Learners may benefit from integrated language and content learning activities, where they can obtain more practice with reading to learn and recognize it as a desirable learning outcome.

description: This work presents expressions for determining the down-wash over the tail and the tail efficiency power-on and off.  A method for the determination of empirical constants used by Millikan is presented.  The method gives excellent agreement for the multiplicative factor Ap and good agreement for Bp.  The theory checks experiment very well as Ap and Bp are nearly independent of Tc.

description: A fundamental open problem in condensed matter physics is how the dichotomy between conventional and topological band insulators is modified in the presence of strong electron interactions. We show that there are 6 new electronic topological insulators that have no non-interacting counterpart. Combined with the previously known band-insulators, these produce a total of 8 topologically distinct phases. Two of the new topological insulators have a simple physical description as Mott insulators in which the electron spins form spin analogs of the familiar topological band-insulator. The remaining are obtained as combinations of these two `topological paramagnets' and the topological band insulator. We prove that these 8 phases form a complete list of all possible interacting topological insulators, and are classified by a Z_2^3 group-structure. Experimental signatures are also discussed for these phases.

description: An original idea of semiconductor defects identification in CCD matrix was presented in the article. The procedure is simple and easy to execute because of no need for special and expensive equipment. The method classifies defects into two groups: the point defects and the spatial defects (dislocations). During the experiments it was proven that the type of defect affects the behaviour of the dark current generation during the light gathering .

The Asymmetric Pupil Fourier Wavefront Sensor

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper introduces a novel wavefront sensing approach that relies on the Fourier analysis of a single conventional direct image. In the high Strehl ratio regime, the relation between the phase measured in the Fourier plane and the wavefront errors in the pupil can be linearized, as was shown in a previous work that introduced the notion of generalized closure-phase, or kernel-phase. The technique, to be usable as presented requires two conditions to be met: (1) the wavefront errors must be kept small (of the order of one radian or less) and (2) the pupil must include some asymmetry, that can be introduced with a mask, for the problem to become solvable. Simulations show that this asymmetric pupil Fourier wavefront sensing or APF-WFS technique can improve the Strehl ratio from 50 to over 90 % in just a few iterations, with excellent photon noise sensitivity properties, suggesting that on-sky close loop APF-WFS is possible with an extreme adaptive optics system.

description: NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.

The problem of the behavior of flat, unstiffened panels under combined shear and compression load was investigated for one length over width ratio and three thicknesses. Due to the lack of data obtained in a limited amount of time, no definite conclusion was reached. Until further investigation is carried out, the ultimate failure stress relationship of [...] is recommended. The effect of shear load on the modulus of elasticity and compression load on the shear modulus was found to be nonexistent.

title: Pilot Study of Text Message Nudges as a Way to Improve Weight Loss Outcomes
Creators: name: Copher, Madison
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries

description: Weight loss programs for women are on the rise, including both face to face and online programs. However, current research is limited on the process measures and content which produce adherence and the largest outcomes. With obesity on the rise in the United States, it is important to understand out health coaches can strengthen their programs to better support the obese population in their weight loss journey. The purpose of this pilot study was to develop and test the acceptability of text message nudges among women participating in an online weight loss program; determine how dose may be associated with weight loss outcomes; and to test how goal setting text messaging nudges improve percent body weight loss among women participating in an online weight loss program. It was found that the implementation of text message nudges did not provide enough to continue to improve and extend the program to be more successful. However, qualitative data was recorded and found to provide helpful insight into what content was preferred by the participants.

Food Producing Façades Key to A Sustainable Future

Subjects: subject: 120199 Architecture not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: The built environment uses significant and increasing amounts of energy, more than 1000 times the energy density per unit area of the natural environment, contributing to Urban Heat Island effect. Simultaneously, population growth and urban development have outpaced food production globally. In response, there has been a growing trend to further develop the ancient tradition of incorporating plants into the built environment via green roofs, green façades, urban agriculture and other green infrastructure. Research is limited, however, into the application of growing food producing plants on a living façade to improve total building performance. This dissertation investigates the role of integrating food producing plants into a living façade to positively impact four outcomes: food production, thermal performance, air quality and rain water management, in a temperate climate. The design, construction, operation and end-of-life disassembly and recycling of a food producing living façade on the south and west of the Robert L. Preger Intelligent Workplace at Carnegie Mellon University successfully demonstrates the critical value of living façades for this climate. A maximum average production of 2.64 kilograms of produce per square meter of façade panel can be generated annually (0.54 lbs./ft2) which could effectively meet 9% of summer nutritional demands for building occupants. The façade temperatures can be reduced between 10oF-36.95oF (5.56oC-20.53oC) with approximately 20% reductions in cooling energy, and positive impact on reducing urban heat island. A living façade can effectively remove pollutants from the natural ventilation air stream, measured at a maximum of 5.6% reduction in PM2.5 for the living façade compared to the control. An average of 14.26 liters of rainwater per square meter of façade per day (0.35 gal/ft2/day) can effectively redirect all the rainfall on the roof from storm drains into primary irrigation. In addition, field observations revealed enhanced access to nature for building occupants, wildlife habitat and biodiversity.

description: We explore the high and low temperature behavior of non-local observables in strongly coupled gauge theories that are dual to AdS. We develop a systematic expansion for equal time two-point correlation, spatial Wilson loops and entanglement entropy at finite temperature using the AdS/CFT correspondence, leading to analytic expressions for these observables at high and low temperature limits. This approach enables the identification of the contributions of different regions of the bulk geometry to these gauge theory observables.
