description: O descarte de efluentes contendo sulfato, principalmente oriundo de atividades industriais, gera problemas ambientais, pois este íon pode ser metabolizado pela biota por processos anaeróbios no meio hídrico formando sulfetos tóxicos. Desta maneira, o tratamento biológico de águas residuárias de efluentes contendo sulfato deve considerar a presença e a remoção desta espécie antes da disposição final do efluente. A presença do íon sulfato, em concentrações elevadas, pode surtir um efeito inibidor na biomassa responsável por sua degradação, devido aos produtos do metabolismo deste íon, que podem levar o sistema de tratamento anaeróbio a operar com baixa eficiência. Assim, a presença e remoção do sulfato no tratamento de águas residuárias torna-se um fator importante a ser considerado na operação e dimensionamento do processo. No presente contexto, o projeto avaliou o comportamento de um biorreator contendo biomassa granulada, alimentado com água residuária sintética com sulfato nas relações DQO/[SO42-] de 1,35 e 0,67, operando em batelada e batelada alimentada e agitação mecânica utilizando um reator com "draft-tube".
Presentism and Special Relativity
Creators: name: Kidd, Brandon
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Presentism is one of the most influential views on the nature of time. It claims, roughly, that only the present exists. It is widely held that special relativity is highly problematic for presentism. I show that arguments to this end rely on interpretations the presentist need not accept. I further show that a spatial hyperplane – which is roughly what amounts to a moment in time when sketched in the context of special relativity – is the best geometry with which to formulate presentism. This is done by showing that postulating any other geometry results in the world needing to have an undetectable set of laws governing the true motions of objects. These hidden laws are at odds with the truth of special relativity and thus would undercut our reason for accepting special relativity in the first place. This then fixes what the presentist should think their view amounts to in the context of special relativity and sets the proper stage for the debate between presentists and their opponents in the light of modern physics.

description: The phase behaviour of colloidal dispersions is interesting for fundamental reasons and for technological applications such as photonic crystals and electronic paper. Sedimentation, which in everyday life is relevant from blood analysis to the shelf life of paint, is a means to determine phase boundaries by observing distinct layers in samples that are in sedimentation-diffusion equilibrium. However, disentangling the effects due to interparticle interactions, which generate the bulk phase diagram, from those due to gravity is a complex task. Here we show that a line in the space of chemical potentials $μ_i$, where $i$ labels the species, represents a sedimented sample and that each crossing of this sedimentation path with a binodal generates an interface under gravity. Complex phase stacks can result, such as the sandwich of a floating nematic layer between top and bottom isotropic phases that we observed in a mixture of silica spheres and gibbsite platelets.

Our construction is a generalization of the ADT charges of linear and quadratic gravity theories in cosmological backgrounds. As an explicit example we find the energy and angular momentum of the BTZ black hole in the 2+1 dimensional Born-Infeld gravity.

description: Årstafältet (ÅF) is a large open grass field and a suburb located 5 km south from the city centre of Stockholm. Driven by the environmental quality goals of Stockholm , a water dam and a stream were constructed with the aim of being integrated in a landscape park for purifying runoffs from the surroundings and restoration the natural water flow, and maintaining the ecological value of the grass-field. However, due to the huge housing demand, the landscape plan altered towards urbanising the area and constructing residential buildings. The city decided to capitalise on existing NBS, enlarge, and redesign the water pond and integrate them in green structures including parks, trees planting along roads, green roofs and courtyards, allotment gar-dens, and deciduous forest, all of which are yet in the planning or implementation phase. The planned NBS are to deal with various water pressures at different scales ranging from local to watershed level includ-ing climate change impacts and flood management, improving water quality, groundwater recharge, in addition to other social and environmental benefits. The construction of the water ponds has been sub-stantially challenged by civic groups’ opposition and appeals, uncertainties, high cost and investments, and contestation over roles of actors in planning and design, financing issues, ownership, division of responsibilities for maintaining NBS, but also the very dynamic and long-term planning process that is exposed to contingences and change.

 This case study actually represents multiple case studies of different projects of NBS in ÅF. It is likely to provide a nuanced understanding regarding the planning and governance challenges and opportunities for closing the water cycle gap at the urban scale through mainstreaming NBS in transitional areas towards more urbanisations.

description: The De Donder-Weyl (DW) covariant Hamiltonian formulation of Palatini first-order Lagrangian of vielbein (tetrad) gravity and its precanonical quantization are presented. No splitting into the space and time is required in this formulation. Our recent generalization of Dirac brackets is used to treat the second class primary constraints appearing in the DW Hamiltonian formulation and to find the fundamental brackets. Quantization of the latter yields the representation of vielbeins as differential operators with respect to the spin connection coefficients, and the Dirac-like precanonical Schrödinger equation on the space of spin connection coefficients and space-time variables. The transition amplitudes on this space describe the quantum geometry of space-time. We also discuss the Hilbert space of the theory, the invariant measure on the spin connection coefficients, and point to the possible quantum singularity avoidance built in in the natural choice of the boundary conditions of the wave functions on the space of spin connection coefficients.

description: In this paper we present high resolution VLT/FLAMES observations of red giant stars in the massive intermediate-age Large Magellanic Cloud star cluster NGC 1846, which, on the basis of its extended main-sequence turn-off (EMSTO), possesses an internal age spread of ~300 Myr. We describe in detail our target selection and data reduction procedures, and construct a sample of 21 stars possessing radial velocities indicating their membership of NGC 1846 at high confidence. We consider high-resolution spectra of the planetary nebula Mo-17, and conclude that this object is also a member of the cluster. Our measured radial velocities allow us to conduct a detailed investigation of the internal kinematics of NGC 1846, the first time this has been done for an EMSTO system. The key result of this work is that the cluster exhibits a significant degree of systemic rotation, of a magnitude comparable to the mean velocity dispersion. Using an extensive suite of Monte Carlo models we demonstrate that, despite our relatively small sample size and the substantial fraction of unresolved binary stars in the cluster, the rotation signal we detect is very likely to be genuine. Our observations are in qualitative agreement with the predictions of simulations modeling the formation of multiple populations of stars in globular clusters, where a dynamically cold, rapidly rotating second generation is a common feature. NGC 1846 is less than one relaxation time old, so any dynamical signatures encoded during its formation ought to remain present.

description: According to experimental data of SNe Ia (Supernovae type Ia), we will discuss in detial dynamics of the DGP model and introduce a simple parametrization of matter $ω$, in order to analyze scenarios of the expanding universe and the evolution of the scale factor. We find that the dimensionless matter density parameter at the present epoch $Ω^0_m=0.3$, the age of the universe $t_0= 12.48$ Gyr, $\frac{a}{a_0}=-2.4e^{\frac{-t}{25.56}}+2.45$. The next we study the linear growth of matter perturbations, and we assume a definition of the growth rate, $f \equiv \frac{dlnδ}{dlna}$. As many authors for many years, we have been using a good approximation to the growth rate $f \approx Ω^{γ(z)}_m$, we also find that the best fit of the growth index, $γ(z)\approx 0.687 - \frac{40.67}{1 + e^{1.7. (4.48 + z)}}$, or $γ(z)= 0.667 + 0.033z$ when $z\ll1$. We also compare the age of the universe and the growth index with other models and experimental data. We can see that the DGP model describes the cosmic acceleration as well as other models that usually refers to dark energy and Cold Dark Matter (CDM).

description: In the modern era, web applications have become more and more popular: with the rise of social networks and the industry’s trend towards the cloud, most of the tasks that used to be done on a local machine can now be executed inside a browser. Due to the widespread adoption of this paradigm, even desktop applications are written as web applications (using frameworks such as Electron). With this new browser-centric trend, securing the information stored in the browser becomes more and more crucial; however, this aspect is often overlooked by web developers, as testified by the fact that Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities have been present in the OWASP’s famous Top 10 Web Application Security Risks List since its conception in 2003. Many security researchers have tried to create automated scanners for web applications, using both “static” (based on the analysis of the source code) and “dynamic” (based on the analysis of the application at runtime) techniques, each with its own set of strengths and limitations, that will be analyzed in the first section of this document. We’ve designed a novel hybrid approach that is able to take advantage of the strength of both static and dynamic analysis, while reducing their weaknesses. In real-world experiments, our implementation EXP2 was able to analyze over 10 million lines of source code across 32 popular PHP applications, identifying 113 XSS vulnerabilities which resulted in 20 CVE entries.

description: In this paper, we study $(1 : b)$ Avoider-Enforcer games played on the edge set of the complete graph on $n$ vertices. For every constant $k\geq 3$ we analyse the $k$-star game, where Avoider tries to avoid claiming $k$ edges incident to the same vertex. We analyse both versions of Avoider-Enforcer games -- the strict and the monotone -- and for each provide explicit winning strategies for both players. We determine the order of magnitude of the threshold biases $f^{mon}_\mathcal{F}$, $f^-_\mathcal{F}$ and $f^+_\mathcal{F}$, where $\mathcal{F}$ is the hypergraph of the game.

description: Two new species of geckos of the genus Cnemaspis Strauch, 1887 are described from the Western Ghats of Kerala using an integrated taxonomic approach employing phylogenetic and multivariate morphometric methods. We provide a preliminary 16S rRNA tree of the Indian Cnemaspis and ascertain the phylogenetic placement of the two new species within the wynadensis clade. Our morphometric analysis indicates that, although there was overlap in the morphospace across species, the morphospace occupied by the two new species were considerably different from most other species within the wynadensis clade. Both the species Viz. C. zacharyi sp. nov. and C. chengodumalaensis sp. nov. are medium to large-sized Cnemaspis and are genetically and morphologically distinct from other Indian congeners. Both species are predominantly found in rocky outcrops within forested patches outside protected areas in north Kerala, which are currently under threat from illegal quarrying and other unplanned developmental activities. The discovery of these novel species outside protected areas highlights the conservation value of rocky outcrops outside Wildlife Sanctuaries and National Parks and calls for urgent need to document species across protected and non-protected areas of the Western Ghats as well as the midland hillocks of Kerala.

description: Future linear e+e- colliders aim for extremely high precision measurements. To achieve this, not only excellent detectors and well controlled machine conditions are needed, but also the best possible estimate of backgrounds. To avoid that lacking channels and too low statistics becomes a major source of systematic errors in data-MC comparisons, all SM channels with the potential to yield at least a few events under the full lifetime of the projects need to be generated, with statistics largely exceeding that of the real data. Also machine conditions need to be accurately taken into account. This includes beam-polarisation, interactions due to the photons inevitably present in the highly focused beams, and coherent interactions of whole bunches. This endeavour has already been partly achieved in preparing design documents for both the ILC and CLIC: Comprehensive samples of fully simulated and reconstructed events are available for use. In this contribution, we present how the generation of physics events at linear colliders is categorised and organised, and the tools used. Also covered is how different aspects of machine conditions, different sources of spurious interactions (such as beam-induced backgrounds) are treated and the tools involved for these aspects.

description: The present study aims to examine the long-term process of learning from screen in early childhood in the child’s familial environment. Specificall , it focuses on the process of screen-aided acquisition of a second language by a young girl (here called Dana) who was 12 months old at the beginning of the study and three years old towards its end. The family was selected for in-depth analysis because of the great emphasis that Dana’s mother placed on use of touchscreen media to support her daughter’s learning of English. First and foremost, the research findings demonstrate the limitations of this use, especially when it is not accompanied by appropriate parental mediation. The study shows that use of a smartphone for learning purposes without the mother’s instructive mediation was barely able to advance Dana’s English acquisition that was limited to phonetic elements only. Moreover, the findings reveal that with her mother’s encouragement, Dana acquired highly problematic smartphone use habits that could be harmful to her health and development. Hence, the research findings call for increasing media literacy among parents of infants and toddlers who need to know how to support the development of appropriate media habits among their young children.

description: We use the identification of the edge mode of the filling fraction $ν=1$ quantum Hall phase with a 1+1 dimensional chiral Dirac fermion to construct an analogue model for a chiral fermion in a space-time geometry possessing an event horizon. By solving the model in the lowest Landau level, we show that the event horizon emits particles and holes with a thermal spectrum. Each emitted quasiparticle is correlated with an opposite-energy partner on the other side of the event horizon. Once we trace out these "unobservable" partners, we are left with a thermal density matrix.

Effects of high-impedance-contrast boundary upon multi-modal seismic surface wave data
Creators: name: Tamrakar, Prajwol
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Synthetic studies and analyses of an experimental dataset were conducted to address the use of Rayleigh-type surface waves for estimation of shear wave velocity (VS) profiles of shallow bedrock sites. The shallow bedrock presents a high impedance contrast boundary which causes surface wave energy to be partitioned to higher modes. Idealized studies of hypothetical datasets and root-mean-squared calculations of error surfaces showed that if reliable dispersion data are available over a broad frequency spectrum, the VS profile can be recovered using the fundamental mode alone. However, when dispersion data are limited to a relatively narrow frequency band representing what might be commonly sampled in practice, the fundamental mode alone is insufficient to resolve the VS profile, but joint consideration of higher modes along with the fundamental mode will be successful in some cases. Outcomes of similar tests on experimental data from a shallow bedrock site were instructive but less definitive. Tests repeatedly demonstrated that a good quality starting model is necessary to converge upon a reasonable solution. To improve the starting model, the dispersion dataset can be scrutinized to estimate depth to bedrock. Dispersion curves for the shallow bedrock case are particularly susceptible to misinterpretation. Tests revealed that the consequences of a likely form of misinterpretation are strong velocity fluctuations and overestimation of VS of the bedrock.

African Americans with HFpEF: An Insight to HRQOL and Family Based on Renal Function
Creators: name: Abudayah, Fatimah  M
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background: African Americans (AA) are at a higher risk for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and renal impairment. HFpEF is associated with frailty and poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Renal impairment amplifies the inflammatory state in HFpEF, worsens ventricular function, and leads to increased frailty and poorer HRQOL. In HFpEF trials, AAs are often underrepresented and patients with renal impairments are often excluded. As such, little is known about HRQOL and frailty in AA with HFpEF. Objectives: To examine HRQOL scores and frailty in AA with HFpEF, and to explore the moderation effect of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on the relationship between frailty and HRQOL. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 16 AA with HFpEF were recruited from an outpatient heart failure clinic. The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) was used to measure HRQOL. Frailty was evaluated using Fried’s frailty criteria. eGFR was calculated according to CKD-EPI equation based on the latest creatinine level from the participants’ medical records. Diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease was obtained from participants’ medical records. Comorbidities were determined by the functional comorbidity index (FCI). Multiple regression and ordinal logistic regression were used, with robust standard error and Bayesian method. Data were analyzed using Stata software (version 16). Results: The sample consisted of 7 males and 9 females with a mean age of 56 ±7 years. They had 5±3 comorbid conditions and 3 had Chronic Kidney Disease. The mean eGFR was 62.25 ± 26 ml/min/1.73m2. The mean HRQOL score was 59 indicating poor HRQOL. There was 1 non-frail, 10 pre-frail, and 5 frail subjects. Sex and the comorbidity score explained 36.36 % of the variance in HRQOL (p=0.03). Females had worse HRQOL scores than males (coefficient= -15.81, p=0.04, CI = -31.49, -0.15). Frailty was not associated with age (p=0.27). eGFR was not a moderator of the relationship between frailty and HRQOL (p=0.06). Conclusion: African Americans with HFpEF had poor HRQOL. AA females and AA with higher numbers of comorbidities reported worse HRQOL. Most subjects were either pre-frail or frail indicating frailty may be an issue for AA with HFpEF.

In the non-zero cases, we find that the twisted total Witt group forms a free module of rank one over the untwisted total Witt group, up to a difference in grading. Our proof relies on an identification of the Witt groups of flag varieties with the Tate cohomology groups of their K-groups, whereby the verification of all assertions is eventually reduced to the computation of the (twisted) Tate cohomology of the representation ring of a parabolic subgroup.

Fenestration studies on building energy using the facade evaluation facility
Creators: name: Cocina, Wendell
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: The project was developed to assess several types of facades and their influence on building energy, mainly focused on windows and other building fenestrations. Requirements for the facility are stated in this paper alongside corresponding solutions. The facility is designed to represent a section of a building faade. Experimenting on a wide range of fenestrations including windows with integrated PV elements was the primary prerequisite. The option of removable faade configurations was used and allowed testing specimens to be changed effortlessly. Instrumentation and data acquisition are discussed including calibration and uncertainty analysis. Investigation of the air conditioning unit was concluded during the calibration stage. Fenestration property measurements such as the thermal and optical performance have been evaluated for several windows. Theoretically calculated values and experimental data are compared. Data acquired demonstrate the influence the faade has on the building energy loads. Additional research into these characteristics assists in improving building energy efficiency. Moreover, outcomes of the results are analyzed for residential or commercial purposes, giving practical information for wide-ranging conditions. Further testing of different types of facades will continue and comparisons can be inferred between specimens. Development of the data will help provide valuable information for energy efficient building design.

description: We present a practical implementation of the ensemble Kalman (EnKF) filter based on an iterative Sherman-Morrison formula. The new direct method exploits the special structure of the ensemble-estimated error covariance matrices in order to efficiently solve the linear systems involved in the analysis step of the EnKF. The computational complexity of the proposed implementation is equivalent to that of the best EnKF implementations available in the literature when the number of observations is much larger than the number of ensemble members. Even when this conditions is not fulfilled, the proposed method is expected to perform well since it does not employ matrix decompositions. Computational experiments using the Lorenz 96 and the oceanic quasi-geostrophic models are performed in order to compare the proposed algorithm with EnKF implementations that use matrix decompositions. In terms of accuracy, the results of all implementations are similar. The proposed method is considerably faster than other EnKF variants, even when the number of observations is large relative to the number of ensemble members.
Improving Community Health by Offering Decent Work: Community Benefits and Corporate Responsibility

description: Healthcare is a fast-growing sector and has the potential to provide opportunities for individuals living in high economic hardship communities to enter and advance in the workforce. Within the healthcare industry, non-profit healthcare organizations are required to provide community benefits to justify their tax-exempt status (Evashwick & Jackson, 2020). After the Patient Accountability and Affordable Care Act was signed in 2010, hospitals were required to conduct community health needs assessments with particular attention to social determinants of health; this was intended to connect the social determinants of health with community benefits (Keisling, 2019). According to the International Labour Office, decent work—permanent jobs that pay a living wage, provide social benefits, and are free from health risks—can contribute to individuals' health and well-being and the communities where they live (International Labour Organization, n.d.). At the intersection of community benefits, the ACA, and a growing ethic of corporate responsibility in healthcare organizations, consideration of hiring from local communities can lead to a win-win for hospitals, workers, and communities. This thesis is a case study of one urban, academic medical center that demonstrates its potential for improving neighboring communities' well-being through attention to its employees' sociodemographic and economic status. Specifically, it compares employees' demographic and employment characteristics from its defined primary service area (PSA) to those from outside its PSA. This research's desired outcome is to focus community benefits planning on employment practices and provide baseline measures for launching a strategic hiring plan in healthcare organizations that addresses the social determinants of health.

description: Chaotic behavior arises from very simple non-linear dynamical equation of logistic map which makes it was used often in designing chaotic image encryption schemes. However, some properties of chaotic maps can also facilitate cryptanalysis especially when they are implemented in digital domain. Utilizing stable distribution of the chaotic states generated by iterating the logistic map, this paper presents a typical example to show insecurity of an image encryption scheme using chaotic logistic map. This work will push encryption and chaos be combined in a more effective way.

description: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires state transportation agencies to submit a biennial report on local highway finances. The purpose of these reports is to provide FHWA with the data it needs to capture the financing of highway activities at the local level. Based on this information, it can identify trends in revenue, expenditures, investments, and program development, and in turn make decisions about future investments. The report, FHWA-536, asks agencies to report on four areas of local highway finance: 1) disposition of highway-user revenues; 2) revenues used for roads and streets identified by source and funding type; 3) road and street expenditures identified by purpose of activity; and 4) local highway debt status. This document summarizes data submitted to fulfill the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s FHWA-536 obligations in FY 2007. Total receipts were $401,494,553, an increase of $2,922,469 compared to FY 2007. Total disbursements equaled $426,747,881, an increase of $73,603,718 over FY 2007.

description: Following the approach of Carlet et al.(2011)\cite{CDM}, we construct a class of infinite-dimensional Frobenius manifolds underlying the Toda lattice hierarchy, which are defined on the space of pairs of meromorphic functions with possibly higher-order poles at the origin and at infinity. We also show a connection between these infinite-dimensional Frobenius manifolds and the finite-dimensional Frobenius manifolds on the orbit space of extended affine Weyl groups of type $A$ defined by Dubrovin and Zhang.

Ground-State Ferromagnetic Transition in Strongly Repulsive One-Dimensional Fermi Gases

description: We prove that as a one-dimensional Fermi gas is brought across the resonance adiabatically from large repulsion to large attraction, the singlet ground state will give way to the maximum spin state, which is the lowest energy state among the states accessible to the system in this process. In the presence of tiny symmetry breaking fields that destroy spin conservation, the singlet ground state can evolve to the ferromagnetic state or a spin segregated state. We have demonstrated these effects by exact calculations on fermion cluster relevant to current experiments, and have worked out the quantum mechanical wavefunction that exhibits phase separation.

A Comprehensive Investigation and Intervention for Understanding Structure, Forces, and Representations

description: Much of biochemical inquiry deals with the structure, functions and interactions of biological macromolecules. Studies have shown that students struggle with these concepts in biochemistry but researchers have not analyzed this from a knowledge-in-pieces framework and have not provided effective examples of interventions to help students understand structure and representations. This dissertation investigates how students assemble knowledge related to protein structure, noncovalent interactions, and representations in the biochemistry classroom and how an intervention with visualization tools enhances student understanding of these topics. I introduce design protocols that involve the implementation of clinical interviews and development of an intervention using PyMOL and hand-models of secondary structures. Analysis of results showed that during the interviews, participants possessed various ideas of what noncovalent interactions, specifically hydrogen bonding, were involved in the formation of a protein structure. Furthermore, their knowledge of protein structure and the representations used to define these structures was fragmented. The intervention created sought to respond to this fragmented knowledge that students had of these biochemistry concepts. The results from the intervention revealed that when given a specific learning environment in which students are able to use molecular visualization software and hand models, student understanding of hydrogen bonds, structure, and representation was much less fragmented. When compared to interview participants, intervention participants could better understand the purpose of representations and the detailed groups and atoms involved in hydrogen bonding. These findings are further supported by surveys where students indicate that the model kit allowed them to see a physical model of secondary structures and hydrogen bonding between specific atoms, while PyMOL helped them better understand the similarities and differences of representations. The results from both studies present a direction for current educators to teach biochemistry. By asking students to not only explain, but also draw their explanations, educators can identify where students show fragmentation in their understanding. In addition to asking students to draw, educators should provide students with different learning tools during their biochemistry course to promote a concrete understanding of these biochemistry concepts which students can use to succeed in their continuing education or future careers.
