Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2019

description: Four university partners (the University Libraries' Teaching & Learning Team, Learning Services, the Writing Center, and the Communications Center) leveraged their unique skills and expertise to provide students with a comprehensive, week-long research workshop series called "Research Your Way to An A." This timely series was meant to equip students with necessary research and life skills during one of the most critical points in the semester and in their academic careers. Our lightning talk focuses on the origins of the cross-campus partnership, the details of the outreach event, and lessons learned. It also features the results of the workshop series, including data on the number and type of students attracted as well as student-generated data rating the space, food, instruction, topics, and timeliness of the workshops. We hope to provide faculty and staff with a model for forging valuable partnerships as well as suggestions for how to make similar outreach events successful. We also hope to generate a conversation about other types of workshops that might help our undergraduate and graduate populations develop transferable skills to be used both inside and outside of the classroom.

The ``Nernst Theorem'' and Black Hole Thermodynamics

description: The Nernst formulation of the third law of ordinary thermodynamics (often referred to as the ``Nernst theorem'') asserts that the entropy, $S$, of a system must go to zero (or a ``universal constant'') as its temperature, $T$, goes to zero. This assertion is commonly considered to be a fundamental law of thermodynamics. As such, it seems to spoil the otherwise perfect analogy between the ordinary laws of thermodynamics and the laws of black hole mechanics, since rotating black holes in general relativity do not satisfy the analog of the ``Nernst theorem''. The main purpose of this paper is to attempt to lay to rest the ``Nernst theorem'' as a law of thermodynamics. We consider a boson (or fermion) ideal gas with its total angular momentum, $J$, as an additional state parameter, and we analyze the conditions on the single particle density of states, $g(ε,j)$, needed for the Nernst formulation of the third law to hold. (Here, $ε$ and $j$ denote the single particle energy and angular momentum.) Although it is shown that the Nernst formulation of the third law does indeed hold under a wide range of conditions, some simple classes of examples of densities of states which violate the ``Nernst theorem'' are given. In particular, at zero temperature, a boson (or fermion) gas confined to a circular string (whose energy is proportional to its length) not only violates the ``Nernst theorem'' also but reproduces some other thermodynamic properties of an extremal rotating black hole.

description: Skyrmions are widely regarded as promising candidates for emergent spintronic devices. Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) is often critical to the generation and manipulation of skyrmions. However, there is a fundamental lack of understanding of the origin of DMI or the mechanism by which DMI generates skyrmions in magnetic bilayers. Very little is known of the material parameters that determine the value of DMI. This knowledge is vital for rational design of skyrmion materials and further development of skyrmion technology. To address this important problem, we investigate DMI in magnetic bilayers using first-principles. We present a new theoretical model that explains the microscopic origin of DMI in magnetic bilayers. We demonstrate that DMI depends on two parameters, interfacial hybridization and orbital contributions of the heavy metal. Using these parameters, we explain the trend of DMI observed. We also report four new materials systems with giant DMI and new designs for magnetic multilayers that are expected to outperform the best materials known so far. Our results present a notably new understanding of DMI, uncover highly promising materials and put forth novel pathways for the controlled generation of skyrmions.

description: Location: George's Facilitators, all members of Masonâs Faculty Learning Community on SOTL, will introduce the field of SOTL and the many ways that SOTL scholars approach teaching and learning problems. Because the focus of this session is on the participants, they will share a teaching and learning challenge, issue, or question they have about their own teaching in a workshop environment. In small groups with support from facilitators, participants will develop well-defined, actionable research questions that address the challenge they brought with them. At the conclusion of the session, participants will read their questions to the group for final feedback and then facilitators will conclude the workshop by introducing several common data collection and research methods within SOTL. All participants will be encouraged to join the Mason SOTL Faculty Learning Community to further develop their SOTL projects. Facilitators will also introduce the many ways that SOTL scholars make their work public, including the different genres of publication that are available in SOTL. This interdisciplinary group of co-facilitators represent colleges and disciplines across Mason, including the Volgenau School of Engineering (VSE), the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS), INTO Mason, the College of Health and Human Services, and the College of Science. They have worked together during the 2018-2019 academic year as part of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Faculty Learning Community.

description: It has been argued by Zurek and Kibble that the likelihood of producing defects in a continuous phase transition depends in a characteristic way on the quench rate. In this paper we discuss our experiment for measuring the Zurek-Kibble scaling exponent sigma for the production of fluxons in annular symmetric Josephson Tunnel Junctions. The predicted exponent is sigma = 0.25, and we find sigma = 0.27 +/- 0.05. Further, there is agreement with the ZK prediction for the overall normalisation.

description: Water management is an important component of mine closure and reclamation. Successful water management requires consideration of wide variety of factors including: climate, site accessibility, hydrogeology, geochemistry, and engineering feasibility. This case study focuses on the design, construction, performance, and initial monitoring results for a passive water management system at a remote abandoned mine site. The primary design challenges included: cold climate, steep slopes, remoteness, slope stability, and a low potential for revegetation. An innovative design including an automatic siphon combined with an integrated geomembrane cover and interceptor trench system was designed and constructed to prevent clean water from contacting the tailings and becoming contaminated. Post- remediation monitoring indicates that the passive system is functional and has reduced loading of metals to the shallow groundwater flow system. A total of 58,874 m³ of water is collected and conveyed around the tailings on an annual basis. The contaminant plume downgradient of tailings pond has begun to shrink, and annual contaminant loads have been reduced by an estimated 11,562 kg of sulphate and 505 kg of zinc in addition to other metals. A long-term monitoring and maintenance plan that uses an automated data collection system has been developed to ensure that risk controls remain effective and satisfy the provincial and federal regulations.

description: Accurate characterization of the noise influencing a quantum system of interest has far-reaching implications across quantum science, ranging from microscopic modeling of decoherence dynamics to noise-optimized quantum control. While the assumption that noise obeys Gaussian statistics is commonly employed, noise is generically non-Gaussian in nature. In particular, the Gaussian approximation breaks down whenever a qubit is strongly coupled to discrete noise sources or has a non-linear response to the environmental degrees of freedom. Thus, in order to both scrutinize the applicability of the Gaussian assumption and capture distinctive non-Gaussian signatures, a tool for characterizing non-Gaussian noise is essential. Here, we experimentally validate a quantum control protocol which, in addition to the spectrum, reconstructs the leading higher-order spectrum of engineered non-Gaussian dephasing noise using a superconducting qubit as a sensor. This first experimental demonstration of non-Gaussian noise spectroscopy represents a major step toward demonstrating a complete spectral estimation toolbox for quantum devices.

description: The purpose of the article is to present the state and changes in the pluriactivity of farming families in Poland in the years 2013-2016. The analysis was based on data from the representative farm structure survey (FSS) to which every EU country is required. Its results are as follows: 1) in 2016, only 1.3% of people were pluriactive, while in 2013 this percentage amounted to 31.5%; 2) the diversification of activities other than agriculture, but directly related to an agricultural holding is still carried out by a relatively small percentage of holdings: in 2016 it amounted to 2.9%; 3) over half of households with a farm user obtained income from wage labour (the most popular form of work outside a farm, as in the years 2005-2010) in addition to income from agricultural activity. The most surprising change was an increase of more than half a million persons engaged only in agriculture and a decrease of more than a million of pluriactive persons, and thus an interruption of the multiannual ratio of pluriactive persons in relation to persons engaged only in agriculture, which was 1:3. Possible reasons for this may be the following aspects: a decrease in the number of farms, including farms up to 1 ha, with the largest number of pluriactive persons, return to specialisation, phenomenon of repeasantisation, possible impact of the 500+ programme on abandoning non-agricultural works and finally the possibility of a statistical error in 2016 studies (another study, BAEL, does not show a decrease in the importance of pluriactivity). The matter is important, because the FSS is a source of official national data for EU statistics.

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We discuss some physical consequences of what might be called ``the ultimate ensemble theory'', where not only worlds corresponding to say different sets of initial data or different physical constants are considered equally real, but also worlds ruled by altogether different equations. The only postulate in this theory is that all structures that exist mathematically exist also physically, by which we mean that in those complex enough to contain self-aware substructures (SASs), these SASs will subjectively perceive themselves as existing in a physically ``real'' world. We find that it is far from clear that this simple theory, which has no free parameters whatsoever, is observationally ruled out. The predictions of the theory take the form of probability distributions for the outcome of experiments, which makes it testable. In addition, it may be possible to rule it out by comparing its a priori predictions for the observable attributes of nature (the particle masses, the dimensionality of spacetime, etc) with what is observed.

Using Online Blogs To Create Class Community

description: Location: Dewberry Hall Abstract: Anonymity online (sometimes an unfortunate pitfall of digital learning) can lead to invisibility, exclusion, misunderstanding, and miscommunication. As such, I seek to “humanize” myself as instructor/facilitator and support students in “showing” themselves to each other. The online introductory blog that I require all students to complete at the start of class aides in building community and relationships, which support learning and allows students an opportunity to bring their "whole" selves to learning. For my required introductory blog post, students respond to prompts I provide and, as part of the assignment, comment on two classmates’ posts. They also post photos of themselves. Common ground may start with sharing a love of baking or raising children while a student, but it can blossom into shared dialogue about leadership, our place in the world, and how we relate to each other as a learning community. I also post my responses to these questions, so we can also connect further. This poster describes the activity and presents student work and reactions to the assignment.

Hydrogeological assessment for mitigation of groundwater discharge to a creek in a confined valley : part 1 of 2 case study from the former Sullivan mine, Kimberley, BC
Creators: name: Humphries, Stefan A.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: The former Sullivan Mine, one of the world's largest producers of lead, zinc and silver, officially closed in 2001 after 92 years of active production. Two large waste rock dumps exist in the incised Mark Creek valley, in what is called the Lower Mine Yard. This area underwent remediation in the 1990s, with an engineered and vegetated cover, isolation of the stream from the rock dump seepage and partial collection of seepage for treatment. Investigations and monitoring of groundwater and surface water in the Lower Mine Yard have been occurring since the early 1990s. Two aquifers were identified, one a shallow perched aquifer and the second a deep aquifer that is constrained in the valley by a low permeability basal till. Both aquifers have been affected by acid rock drainage and metal leaching from the adjacent waste rock dumps, with vertical groundwater flow from the shallow aquifer affecting the deep aquifer. A hydraulic interception system was installed in the deep aquifer to collect and transmit affected groundwater to Teck’s drainage water treatment plant. In 2012, seepage thought to be from the shallow aquifer was identified in two locations on the south bank of Mark Creek and temporary mitigation measures were implemented to recover affected water. Between 2012 and 2015, intensive investigations took place to understand the cause of the discharges. The investigations showed that the hydrogeology of the shallow aquifer is complex, and the discharges are related to two different types of perching. The first is a classically perched groundwater unit overlying a lower permeability silt unit, but there no clear mechanism could be identified for the second perched unit. These two types of perching, combined with the interplay of influences from low-elevation snowmelt in March/April and freshet in May/June, required intensive monitoring of groundwater and surface water. Results from the investigations were used to provide a basis for assessment of remedial options and subsequent design of an interception trench to improve the capture of shallow groundwater in this area and to further mitigate the potential for discharge to Mark Creek.

description: The potential profile across a biased molecular junction is calculated within the framework of a simple Thomas-Fermi type screening model. In particular, the relationship between this profile and the lateral molecular cross section is examined. We find that a transition from a linear potential profile to a potential that drops mainly near the molecule-metal contacts occurs with increasing cross section width, in agreement with numerical quantum calculations.

description: We consider the classical stochastic fluctuations of spacetime geometry induced by quantum fluctuations of massless non-conformal matter fields in the Early Universe. To this end, we supplement the stress-energy tensor of these fields with a stochastic part, which is computed along the lines of the Feynman-Vernon and Schwinger-Keldysh techniques; the Einstein equation is therefore upgraded to a so called Einstein-Langevin equation. We consider in some detail the conformal fluctuations of flat spacetime and the fluctuations of the scale factor in a simple cosmological modelintroduced by Hartle, which consists of a spatially flat isotropic cosmology driven by radiation and dust.

Year: 2019

description: Location: Dewberry Hall Developed by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences Undergraduate Academic Affairs office, the Personal Academic Support and Success (PASS) Program applies an individualized approach and appreciative advising framework to supporting students who have fallen below a 2.0 cumulative GPA. By incorporating responses from a comprehensive pre-assessment that explores various barriers to academic success, program mentors work with students over the course of a semester on a unique plan to improve factors such as mindset, persistence, self-efficacy, effective communication, organizational skills, awareness of campus resources, and more. In addition, PASS emphasizes the importance of the faculty-student and advisor-student relationship and requires students to engage in self-reflection throughout the semester. The overarching goal of the PASS program is to broaden students’ support network and positively impact academic confidence and performance. Participants will be able to learn strategies for working with academically at-risk undergraduate students, to include how an accompanying Blackboard organization was created to support completion of the PASS program either in-person or fully online. Participants will also learn about a collaboration between the program administrators and students within a graduate psychology course, which resulted in a more effective, intentional, and well-designed pre-assessment survey. https://chssundergrad.gmu.edu/pass-program

description: We consider the problem of finding the resonances of the Laplacian on truncated Riemannian cones. In a similar fashion to Cheeger--Taylor, we construct the resolvent and scattering matrix for the Laplacian on cones and truncated cones. Following Stefanov, we show that the resonances on the truncated cone are distributed asymptotically as Ar^n + o(r^n), where A is an explicit coefficient. We also conclude that the Laplacian on a non-truncated cone has no resonances away from zero.

description: The squeezed state is used to study the one-dimensional quantum mechanical Frenkel Kontorova model. A set of coupled equations for the particle's expectation value and the fluctuations for the ground state are derived. It is shown that quantum fluctuations renormalize the standard map to an effective sawtooth map. The mechanism underling provides an alternative and simple explanation of dynamical localization in quantum chaos.

title: Macht Wissenschaft glücklich? Wie Wissenschaft den Menschen kränkt, und wie sie dennoch zur Heiterkeit des Geistes beiträgt

description: Macht Wissenschaft glücklich? Eine törichte Frage? Denn Wissenschaft frage doch nur danach, wie etwas ist, was die Welt bewegt, sie im Innersten zusammenhält. Nicht nach der Befindlichkeit des Menschen, und schon gar nicht, wie er glücklich werde.
Etwas eingeschränkter gefragt: Macht das aus Wissenschaft gewonnene Wissen glücklich? Auch dies eine unzulässige Frage? Denn Glücklichsein ist ein Zustand der Seele, Wissen dagegen der Ertrag von Anstrengungen des Kopfes. Glücklich, das sind doch eher die Naiven, die Leichtköpfigen, die Verliebten etwa, – sagen die Schwerköpfigen, die da angekränkelt sind von der Gedanken Blässe. Macht wissenschaftliches Wissen eher unglücklich? Oder zumindest unfähiger, glücklich zu sein? Neiden etwa deshalb die Götter, die doch die Wissenderen sind, den Menschen das Glück?
Der Mensch kann offenbar glücklich sein, sonst strebte er nicht danach. Sind dagegen Götter glücklich? Ist Gott glücklich? Oder weniger gewagt gefragt: Ist Maria, dort wo sie heute ist, glücklich? Weil sie so wundersam helfen kann? Abermals törichte Fragen? Und warum sind Götter nicht glücklich? – Weil Glück das Leid als Pendant braucht?
Ich will davon reden, wie Wissenschaft das Selbstverständnis des Menschen kränkt und wie er sich dennoch die Heiterkeit des Geistes gewinnt. Die Heiterkeit des Geistes ist freilich noch nicht Glück, doch vielleicht die weiteste Annäherung daran, die über Wissen gewinnbar ist. Da begibt sich ein Ingenieur auf unsicheres Terrain. Dies wird kein wissenschaftlicher Vortrag. Eher eine Reflexion über die Konsequenzen wissenschaftlicher Ergebnisse. Fragen eher als Antworten. Lesefrüchte auch. Und was einem so durch den Kopf geht, wenn man – z. B. auch in Akademien – erfährt, was die Wissenschaften leisten und worauf sie zielen.

description: Multiple linear regression (MLR) modeling as a novel methodological advancement for design, development, and optimization of perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions (PFC NEs) is presented. The goal of the presented work is to develop MLR methods applicable to design, development, and optimization of PFC NEs in broad range of biomedical uses. Depending on the intended use of PFC NEs as either therapeutics or diagnostics, NE composition differs in respect to specific applications (e.g. magnetic resonance imaging, drug delivery, etc). PFC NE composition can significantly impact on PFC NE droplet size which impacts the NE performance and quality. We demonstrated earlier that microfluidization combined with sonication produces stable emulsions with high level of reproducibility. The goal of the presented work was to establish correlation between droplet size and composition in complex PFC-in-oil-in-water NEs while manufacturing process parameters are kept constant. Under these conditions, we demonstrate that MLR model can predict droplet size based on formulation variables such as amount and type of PFC oil and hydrocarbon oil. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report where PFC NE composition was directly related to its colloidal properties and MLR used to predict colloidal properties from composition variables.
