description: AIMS: We present in this work low and intermediate resolution spectroscopic data collected for 152 early type galaxies in 8 nearby clusters with z $\leq$ 0.10. METHODS: We use low resolution data to produce the redshift and the K-correction for every individual galaxy, as well as to give their overall spectral energy distribution, and some spectral indicators, including the 4000Åbreak, the Mg$_2$ strength, and the NaD equivalent width.We have also obtained higher resolution data for early type galaxies in three of the clusters, to determine their central velocity dispersion. RESULTS: The effect of the resolution on the measured parameters is discussed. CONCLUSIONS: New accurate systemic redshift and velocity dispersion is presented for four of the surveyed clusters, A98, A3125, A3330, and DC2103-39. We have found that the K-correction values for E/S0 bright galaxies in a given nearby clusters are very similar. We also find that the distribution of the line indicators significantly differ from cluster to cluster.

description: We study the directed polymer model for general graphs (beyond $\mathbb Z^d$) and random walks. We provide sufficient conditions for the existence or non-existence of a weak disorder phase, of an $L^2$ region, and of very strong disorder, in terms of properties of the graph and of the random walk. We study in some detail (biased) random walk on various trees including the Galton Watson trees, and provide a range of other examples that illustrate counter-examples to intuitive extensions of the $\mathbb Z^d$/SRW result.

description: We have developed two redundant daytime star cameras to provide the fine pointing solution for the balloon-borne submillimeter telescope, BLAST. The cameras are capable of providing a reconstructed pointing solution with an absolute accuracy < 5 arcseconds. They are sensitive to stars down to magnitudes ~ 9 in daytime float conditions. Each camera combines a 1 megapixel CCD with a 200 mm f/2 lens to image a 2 degree x 2.5 degree field of the sky. The instruments are autonomous. An internal computer controls the temperature, adjusts the focus, and determines a real-time pointing solution at 1 Hz. The mechanical details and flight performance of these instruments are presented.

description: Ultracool dwarfs (UCDs, mass M < 0.1 Msun, effective temperature Teff < 3000 K) are the lowest-mass stars and brown dwarfs. They trace the structure, star-formation history and chemical evolution of the Milky Way, due in part to the cooling evolution of non-fusing brown dwarfs. The wide-field optical and infrared spectroscopic and photometric surveys that have uncovered the majority of UCDs now known are generally limited to the local volume (distances < 100 pc) since UCDs are intrinsically faint, however, distant samples are needed to constrain their UCD formation history. Color-selected distant samples of UCDs tend to be contaminated by extra-galactic QSOs at high redshift. To select a sample of spectroscopically-confirmed distant UCDs, we have searched for distant UCDs in 0.5 square degrees of low-resolution near-infrared spectral survey data in the WFC3 Infrared Spectroscopic Parallel Survey (WISPS) and the 3D-HST parallel survey using spectral indices and three supervised machine learning methods: random forest, deep neural network (DNN) and convolutional neural network (CNN). As a training set, we employ a set of known UCD templates from the SpeX Prism Library containing >2,000 low-resolution spectra of UCDs. We achieve a completeness of >94% for the traditional selection methods, and classification precisions of 98%, 96%, 95% for the random forest, DNN and CNN respectively allowing the identification of 231 UCDs out of >250,000 spectra in WISP & 3D-HST. We find that the random forest methods selected the largest number of UCDs with the least amount of contamination. In the future, we will explore different architectures and features for the neural networks to increase their precision.

description: We report on Sb nuclear-quadrupole-resonance (NQR) study in filled-skutterudite compounds (Pr_1-xLa_x)Os_4Sb_12. The Sb-NQR spectra have split into two sets, arising from different Sb_12 cages containing either Pr or La, which enables us to measure two kinds of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time T_1^Pr and T_1^La. In the normal state, the temperature (T) dependence of 1/T^Pr_1T showed almost the same behavior as that for PrOs_4Sb_12 regardless of. In contrast, 1/T^La_1T markedly decreases with increasing La concentration. In the superconducting state for x=0.05 and 0.2, 1/T_1^Pr exponentially decreases down to T=0.7 K with no coherence peak below T_c as well as in PrOs_4Sb_12. A remarkable finding is that the residual density of states at the Fermi level below T_c is induced by La substitution for Pr. These results are proposed to be understood in terms of a multiband-superconductivity model that assumes a full gap for part of the FS and the presence of point nodes for a small 4f^2-derived FS inherent in PrOs_4Sb_12. For x=0.8 and 1,1/T^La_1 exhibits a coherence peak and the nodeless energy gap characteristic for weak-coupling s-wave superconductors. With increasing Pr content, T_c and the energy gap increases. The novel strong-coupling superconductivity in PrOs_4Sb_12 is inferred to be mediated by the local interaction between 4f^2-derived crystal-electric-field states with the electric quadrupole degree of freedom and conduction electrons. This coupling causes a mass enhancement of quasi-particles for a part of FS and induces a small FS, which is responsible for point nodes in the superconducting gap function. Note that the small FS does not play any primary role for the strong-coupling superconductivity in PrOs_4Sb_12.

Self-testing maximally-dimensional genuinely entangled subspaces within the stabilizer formalism

description: Self-testing was originally introduced as a device-independent method of certification of entangled quantum states and local measurements performed on them. Recently, in [F. Baccari \textit{et al.}, arXiv:2003.02285] the notion of state self-testing has been generalized to entangled subspaces and the first self-testing strategies for exemplary genuinely entangled subspaces have been given. The main aim of our work is to pursue this line of research and to address the question how "large" (in terms of dimension) are genuinely entangled subspaces that can be self-tested, concentrating on the multiqubit stabilizer formalism. To this end, we first introduce a framework allowing to efficiently check whether a given stabilizer subspace is genuinely entangled. Building on it, we then determine the maximal dimension of genuinely entangled subspaces that can be constructed within the stabilizer subspaces and provide an exemplary construction of such maximally-dimensional subspaces for any number of qubits. Third, we construct Bell inequalities that are maximally violated by any entangled state from those subspaces and thus also any mixed states supported on them, and we show these inequalities to be useful for self-testing. Interestingly, our Bell inequalities allow for identification of higher-dimensional face structures in the boundaries of the sets of quantum correlations in the simplest multipartite Bell scenarios in which every observer performs two dichotomic measurements.

A three-level trigger system has been designed to achieve this goal. We describe the configuration system under construction for the ATLAS trigger chain. It provides the trigger system with all the parameters required for decision taking and to record its history. The same system configures the event reconstruction, Monte Carlo simulation and data analysis, and provides tools for accessing and manipulating the configuration data in all contexts.

description: We present the Gallery of Planetary Nebula Spectra now available at http://oit.williams.edu/nebulae The website offers high-quality, moderate resolution (~7-10 A FWHM) spectra of 128 Galactic planetary nebulae from 3600-9600 A, obtained by Kwitter, Henry, and colleagues with the Goldcam spectrograph at the KPNO 2.1-m or with the RC spectrograph at the CTIO 1.5-m. The master PN table contains atlas data and an image link. A selected object's spectrum is displayed in a zoomable window; line identification templates are provided. In addition to the spectra themselves, the website also contains a brief discussion of PNe as astronomical objects and as contributors to our understanding of stellar evolution. We envision that this website, which concentrates a large amount of data in one place, will be of interest to a variety of users: researchers might need to check the spectrum of a particular object of interest; the non-specialist astronomer might simply be interested in perusing such a collection of spectra; and finally, teachers of introductory astronomy can use this database to illustrate basic principles of atomic physics and radiation. To particularly encourage this last use, we have developed two paper-and-pencil exercises to introduce beginning astronomy students to the wealth of information that PN spectra contain.

description: A search for mixing in the neutral D meson system has been performed using semileptonic D0 -> K(*)- e+ νand D0 -> K(*)- μ+ νdecays. Neutral D mesons from D*+ -> D0 π_s^+ decays are used and the flavor at production is tagged by the charge of the slow pion. The measurement is performed using 492 fb^-1 of data recorded by the Belle detector. From the yield of right-sign and wrong-sign decays arising from non-mixed and mixed events, respectively, we measure the ratio of the time-integrated mixing rate to the unmixed rate to be R_M = (1.3 +- 2.2 +- 2.0) x 10^-4. This corresponds to an upper limit of R_M < 6.1 x 10^-4 at the 90% C.L.

description: We consider the time-dependent response of a gravitationally-thinning inviscid liquid sheet (a coating curtain) leaving a vertical slot to sinusoidal ambient pressure disturbances. The theoretical investigation employs the hyperbolic partial differential equation developed by \cite{weinp1}. The response of the curtain is characterized by the slot Weber number, $W_{e_0} = ρq V/2σ$, where $V$ is the speed of the curtain at the slot, $q$ is the volumetric flow rate per unit width, $σ$ is the surface tension, and $ρ$ is the fluid density. Flow disturbances travel along characteristics with speeds relative to the curtain of $\pm \sqrt{uV/W_{e_0}}$, where $u = \sqrt{V^2 + 2gx}$ is the curtain speed at a distance $x$ downstream from the slot. When the flow is subcritical ($W_{e_0} < 1$), upstream traveling disturbances near the slot affect the curtain centerline, and the slope of the curtain centerline at the slot oscillates with an amplitude that is a function of $W_{e_0}$. In contrast, all disturbances travel downstream in supercritical curtains ($W_{e_0} > 1$) and the slope of the curtain at the slot is vertical. Here, we specifically examine the curtain response under supercritical and subcritical flow conditions near $W_{e_0} = 1$ to deduce whether there is a substantial change in the overall shape and magnitude of the curtain responses. Despite the local differences in the curtain solution near the slot, we find that subcritical and supercritical curtains have similar responses for all imposed sinusoidal frequencies.

description: A 4-week study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary crude protein (CP) content and resistant starch (RS) supplementation on growth performance, intestinal histomorphology and microbial metabolites of weaned pigs. A total of 96 pigs (7.06 ± 0.45 kg body weight) were assigned to 1 of 4 diets in a randomised complete block design involving a 2 (CP levels) × 2 (without or with RS) factorial arrangement to give 8 replicate pens and 3 pigs per pen. Body weight and feed disappearance were recorded weekly, and the faecal consistency score was determined every morning. Blood was sampled on days 1, 14 and 28 from one pig per pen, and the same pig was euthanised on day 28 to collect ileal tissue and ileal and colon digesta. Data were analysed using the MIXED procedure of SAS. The average daily gain and gain:feed ratio were lower (p < 0.05) in pigs fed low crude protein (LCP) diets compared to those fed high CP (HCP) diets during week 3 and overall period. The analysed Lys, Met+Cys and Thr in feed were lower than calculated values, particularly in LCP diets, which may have affected performance. Pigs fed the LCP diets had longer (p < 0.05) ileal villi and higher villus height to crypt depth ratios than those fed the HCP diets, and RS supplementation increased (p < 0.05) ileal villus height. Interactions (p < 0.05) between dietary CP content and RS inclusion were observed for short-chain fatty acid concentration in the ileum and colon in phase 2. There was no difference in propionic acid (ileum) or butyric acid (colon) concentrations among pigs fed HCP diets, however, the butyric acid concentration increased in pigs fed the LCP diet when supplemented with RS. Reducing dietary CP lowered (p < 0.05) faecal score, plasma urea nitrogen and digesta ammonia content. Overall, feeding LCP diets reduced growth performance but improved gut morphology in weaned pigs. Feeding the LCP diet with RS supplementation modulated concentrations of ileal propionic acid and colonic butyric acid in weaned pigs.
Space-charge transport limits of ion beams in periodic quadrupole focusing channels

Year: 2006

description: It has been empirically observed in both experiments and particle-in-cell simulations that space-charge-dominated beams suffer strong growth in statistical phase-space area (degraded quality) and particle losses in alternating gradient quadrupole transport channels when the undepressed phase advance sigma_0 increases beyond about 85 degrees per lattice period. Although this criterion has been used extensively in practical designs of strong focusing intense beam transport lattices, the origin of the limit has not been understood. We propose a mechanism for the transport limit resulting from classes of halo particle resonances near the core of the beam that allow near-edge particles to rapidly increase in oscillation amplitude when the space-charge intensity and the flutter of the matched beam envelope are both sufficiently large. When coupled with a diffuse beam edge and/or perturbations internal to the beam core that can drive particles outside the edge, this mechanism can result in large and rapid halo-driven increases in the statistical phase-space area of the beam, lost particles, and degraded transport. A core-particle model is applied to parametrically analyze this process. Extensive self-consistent particle in cell simulations are employed to better quantify space-charge limit and verify core-particle model predictions.

description: Preserved feed from meadows contaminated with ragwort (Jacobaea vulgaris, Gaertn.) may expose livestock to pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA). Dairy cows are considered to be very susceptible animals and a PA ingestion can lead to liver and further organ damages and even death. Due to the lack of data, the present study aimed to evaluate critical PA doses based on organ effects, with a special focus on liver lesions and on indicators of energy metabolism. Therefore, 16 dairy cows (n = 4 per group) were exposed to increasing PA doses (group: CONMolasses: <0.001 mg PA/kg body weight (BW)/day (d); PA1: 0.47 mg PA/kg BW/d; PA2: 0.95 mg PA/kg BW/d; PA3: 1.91 mg PA/kg BW/d) for 28 days. Constant dosing was ensured by a defined PA extract administered orally once daily. Histological examinations of the livers showed infiltration by immune cells, higher proportions of apoptotic cells and enlargement of hepatocyte nuclei in the highest exposed group. In addition, bile volume increased with PA dose, which may indicate a cholestasis. Despite the signs of incipient liver damage, liver lipid content and clinical chemical parameters related to energy metabolism, such as glucose, non-esterified fatty acids and βhydroxybutyrate, remained unaffected. Fat depot masses were also not significantly altered over time, suggesting that PA exposure did not induce a wasting syndrome. The liver showed slight microscopic changes already at a dosage of 0.95 mg PA/kg BW/d. However, the short-term metabolic indicators of energy status, lipolysis and ketogenesis, glucose, NEFA and BHB, as well as changes in fat depot, which serves as a longer-term indicator of lipolysis, remained unaffected in all treatment groups in the chosen scenario. These findings suggest that despite histopathological and clinical-chemical evidence of PA-associated hepatocellular lesions, liver function was not compromised.
Verb acquistion : the role of morphological bootstrapping

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate children's ability to use verb inflections to learn about verb meaning. This ability was assessed in twenty four children with normally developing language (NL) aged 3;6 to 5;2 and eight children with specific language impairment (SLI) aged 4;0 to 4;5. Each participant viewed a video a depicting novel event scene paired with an inflected novel verb and were then asked to identify additional events which also fit the novel label. General findings indicated that younger NL children (aged 3;6 to 4;5) used verb inflections to help interpret novel verb meaning. The older N L children (aged 4;6 to 5;2) and the children with SLI did not show evidence of using this strategy. The results are discussed with reference to knowledge of grammatical morphemes, knowledge of temporal concepts, cognitive/linguistic biases and metacognitive abilities.

description: A class of marginal deformations of four-dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills theory has been found to correspond to a set of smooth, multiparameter deformations of the S^5 target subspace in the holographic dual on AdS_5 x S^5. We present here an analogous set of deformations that act on global toroidal isometries in the AdS_5 subspace. Remarkably, certain sectors of the string theory remain classically integrable in this larger class of so-called gamma-deformed AdS_5 x S^5 backgrounds. Relying on studies of deformed su(2)_gamma models, we formulate a local sl(2)_gamma Lax representation that admits a classical, thermodynamic Bethe equation (based on the Riemann-Hilbert interpretation of Bethe's ansatz) encoding the spectrum in the deformed AdS_5 geometry. This result is extended to a set of discretized, asymptotic Bethe equations for the twisted string theory. Near-pp-wave energy spectra within sl(2)_gamma and su(2)_gamma sectors provide a useful and stringent test of such equations, demonstrating the reliability of this technology in a wider class of string backgrounds. In addition, we study a twisted Hubbard model that yields certain predictions of the dual beta-deformed gauge theory.

description: This report presents the baseline modeling of the Maysville cable-stayed bridge which connects Maysville, Kentucky and Aberdeen, Ohio over the Ohio River. The objective of this study is to establish the bridge baseline model via the dynamics-based technique and finite element method. The scope of research includes finite element modeling and modal analysis, field free vibration testing, finite element model calibration using field test results, and cable dynamic testing and modeling. It is demonstrated that a cable-stayed bridge is a highly pre-stressed structure. The stress stiffening of cable elements plays an important role in both static and dynamic analysis. The large deflection analysis has shown that large deflection has the limited effect on the member deflections. Dominate dynamic response modes in the low frequency range contain vertical and transverse directions. The free vibration modes of the bridge are complicated and coupled. A good agreement of frequencies has been found between finite element modeling and in field free vibration testing after calibrating the finite element model. But, the better matching for higher modes is not expected and not realistic, as the experimental model properties of the bridge come from the output-only measurement. The calibrated finite element model may be used as a baseline in the future structural analysis and monitoring of the Maysville cable-stayed bridge.

description: The rise in daily travelers on highways due to population growth, and higher quality and service expectations of the public, are putting increased demands on DOTs today. These demands, combined with decreasing staff sizes and changing resources, are causing DOTs to investigate alternative methods for accomplishing their essential functions. A major option is to contract out more of their work to external parties, commonly called “outsourcing .” The purpose of this project was to evaluate the potential effectiveness, benefits, concerns and implementation requirements of outsourcing by the Kentucky Department of Highways.  This report looks at current outsourcing practices in other states and in each KY district. It includes each districts’ recommended percentages that each function should be outsourced. Geography, volume of staff, and specialized district needs make outsourcing uniformly throughout the state undesirable. In addition to allowing fluctuation between districts’ outsourcing practices, maintaining core competency is also extremely important to receive positive results through outsourcing.  Outsourcing continues to be an increasing concern for the KyTC as it appears that a large number of senior employees are considering retirement in the next 3 years. This report will hopefully help with the planning efforts for this challenge.

description: Kentucky faces several challenges in meeting the funding needs for its transportation infrastructure. The state currently relies on a revenue stream based on road user taxes and fees. However, the structure of these taxes and fees are such that revenues have not kept up with the growth in the number of licensed drivers and motor vehicle travel. In addition, inflationary pressures, coupled with the Road Fund’s low growth rate, have diminished the purchasing power of Road Fund revenues. It is increasingly clear than Kentucky will not be fiscally capable of meeting its transportation investment needs if steps are not taken to address current revenue trends. Traditional financing mechanisms have not proven adequate to meet the state’s current transportation needs. Knowing the options available to enhance current revenues can assist policymakers in making critical policy decisions needed to ensure continuing adequacy of funds to meet the demands of the state’s transportation system. Because of the myriad of transportation funding options available to states, knowledge of the options and an understanding of how these options can be used for efficient transportation financing is a complex undertaking. This study was designed to provide such desired information. This report identifies and investigates six innovative finance options that could potentially be used to mitigate Kentucky’s funding challenges. These innovative finance options are reviewed and an explanation of each option, discussion of advantages and disadvantages, estimate of potential revenue that could be generated, and review of implementation needs are discussed. The six innovative finance options summarized in this report are: (a) adjust the indexing formula for the motor fuel tax; (b) eliminate tax expenditures to increase Road Fund revenue; (c) impose usage tax on motor vehicle repair parts and labor; (d) establish a supplemental vehicle enforcement fee to create a Motor Vehicle Safety Enhancement Fund; (e) use tax increment financing for local transportation projects; and (f) utilize tolling to construct, maintain and operate new roads and bridges.

description: This study was designed to (1) consider the role of public input in the transportation planning process; (2) obtain citizen perceptions of system needs and develop priorities in the state of Kentucky; and (3) use that experience (and the experiences of other states) to provide recommendations for ways to enhance the role of public input in Kentucky’s transportation planning. Telephone survey of Kentucky adults and focus groups of community leaders were utilized to gauge the public’s attitudes and perceptions regarding Kentucky’s transportation needs, issues and priorities, and system satisfaction. The findings from the survey and the focus groups were compared to arrive at a better understanding of the public’s opinion of the state’s transportation system. The findings of this study also lend themselves to recommendations for improving transportation planning in Kentucky. Specifically, they suggest (1) a decentralized project selection process that begins with public input at the district level, followed by (2) statewide public hearings to obtain public input regarding statewide needs and priorities. From a long-term planning perspective, a telephone survey similar to that administered in this study could be undertaken every two years (and supplemented by focus groups as needed), as a way to systematically gather information regarding the public’s perceptions and recommendations.

description: We derive the cross section for the diffractive gluon production in high energy onium-nucleus collisions that includes the low-x evolution effects in the rapidity interval between the onium and the produced gluon and in the rapidity interval between the gluon and the target nucleus. We analyze our result in two limiting cases: when the onium size is much smaller than the saturation scale and when its size is much larger than the saturation scale. In the later case the gluon multiplicity is very small in the quasi-classical case and increases when the low-x evolution effects in onium become significant. We discuss the implications of our result for the RHIC, LHC and EIC phenomenology.

description: We report on the response characteristics of plasmonic terahertz field-effect transistors (TeraFETs) fed with femtosecond and picosecond pulses. Varying the pulse width (tpw) from 10-15 s to 10-10 s under a constant input power condition revealed two distinctive pulse detection modes. In the short pulse mode (tpw << L/s, where L is the gated channel length, s is the plasma velocity), the source-to-drain voltage response is a sharp pulse oscillatory decay preceded by a delay time on the order of L/s. The plasma wave travels along the channel like the shallow water wave with a relatively narrow wave package. In the long pulse mode (tpw > L/s), the response profile has two oscillatory decay processes and the propagation of plasma wave is analogues to oscillating rod with one side fixed. The ultimate response time at the long pulse mode is significantly higher than that under the short pulse conditions. The detection conditions under the long pulse mode are close to the step response condition, and the response time conforms well to the analytical theory for the step function response. The simulated waveform agrees well with the measured pulse response. Our results show that the measurements of the pulse response enable the material parameter extraction from the pulse response data (including the effective mass, kinematic viscosity and momentum relaxation time).

description: In order to solve the problem of low throughput rate and efficiency of the current dynamic frame slot ALOHA collision algorithms, a grouped dynamic frame slotted ALOHA tag anti-collision algorithm based on Parallelizable identification (PIGDFSA) is proposed. Based on the experiments, the method and strategy of increasing the system throughput rate and lowering the tag collision rate are presented by exploring effects of the number of the tags and its groups, the frame length on the system throughout and tag collision rate. Combining the multi-antenna of the RFID system and FastICA technology, the collision slot can be redefined, and the number of the unrecognized tags can be used to set the number of groups and frame length adaptively. The simulation results show that the PIGDFSA algorithm can stabilize the throughput rate more than 92% when the number of tags reaches 2000, and it has higher throughput rate, lesser idle slot and higher algorithm efficiency compared with the FSA-256, GDFSA, and BSDBG algorithm.

description: This report details the processes pertaining to the repair and strengthening of the Louisa-Fort Gay Bridge, Lawrence County, KY, using advanced composite materials. Site inspections revealed flexural cracks in the reinforced concrete girders of the continuous bridge structure. To determine the cause of these cracks, an evaluation was initiated based on vehicle classification and truck weight data. The results confirmed that certain reinforced concrete girders were stressed beyond the limits allowed by the AASHTO Code. A retrofit scheme using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite was devised and the amount of CFRP laminates needed for flexural strengthening was determined from moment-curvature analyses. Retrofitting work began in September of 2003, and the project was completed in October of 2003. Crack gauges were installed at the affected areas to monitor the effectiveness of the retrofit. The bridge was inspected on a number of occasions and, as of September 28 2006, no movement in the crack gauges has been observed.

description: The objective of this effort was to determine if elementary and middle school students could be educated to use reflective armbands to increase their visibility to motorists while walking or bicycling to school. The number of armbands and surveys distributed totaled slightly over 7,000. Responses were received from approximately 12 percent (873) of the pre-surveys and slightly over 3 percent (119) of the post-surveys. Respondents to the survey indicated nearly 15 percent of schoolchildren receiving reflective armbands were wearing the armband “every day” or “most days”. Of the parents responding, 21 percent indicated their children would continue to wear the armband on their travel to and from school. The armbands were generally well received by the students, with more enthusiasm by the younger students. The fact that the reflective armbands were removable was problematic to heir effectiveness. Considering the necessity to remove and reapply the armband each time it is to be used, the device may be better suited for adults.
Archived Data Management System in Kentucky

description: Archived Data User Service (ADUS) was added to the national ITS architecture in 1999 to enable multiple uses for ITS-generated data. In Kentucky, ARTIMIS and TRIMARC are collecting volume, speed, occupancy, length-based classification, and incident data on a continuous basis. This study developed the Kentucky Archived Data Management System (ADMS) to archive and disseminate data collected by sensors in ARTIMIS and TRIMARC systems. This system is designed to be the prototype of ITS data clearinghouse in Kentucky.  The Kentucky ADMS operates on a web server that allows users to retrieve traffic data (i.e., volume, speed, lane occupancy) in 15 minute increments from a GIS-based map. Some freeway performance measures such as AADT are also provided. Data quality control and assurance were also performed to identify the erroneous data items and/or records and to provide statistically more accurate estimates.

description: Prior work to infer 3D texture use either texture atlases, which require uv-mappings and hence have discontinuities, or colored voxels, which are memory inefficient and limited in resolution. Recent work, predicts RGB color at every XYZ coordinate forming a texture field, but focus on completing texture given a single 2D image. Instead, we focus on 3D texture and geometry completion from partial and incomplete 3D scans. IF-Nets have recently achieved state-of-the-art results on 3D geometry completion using a multi-scale deep feature encoding, but the outputs lack texture. In this work, we generalize IF-Nets to texture completion from partial textured scans of humans and arbitrary objects. Our key insight is that 3D texture completion benefits from incorporating local and global deep features extracted from both the 3D partial texture and completed geometry. Specifically, given the partial 3D texture and the 3D geometry completed with IF-Nets, our model successfully in-paints the missing texture parts in consistence with the completed geometry. Our model won the SHARP ECCV'20 challenge, achieving highest performance on all challenges.

description: We report the results of both angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction and x-ray absorption near-edge structure studies in BaWO4 and PbWO4 at pressures of up to 56 GPa and 24 GPa, respectively. BaWO4 is found to undergo a pressure-driven phase transition at 7.1 GPa from the tetragonal scheelite structure (which is stable under normal conditions) to the monoclinic fergusonite structure whereas the same transition takes place in PbWO4 at 9 GPa. We observe a second transition to another monoclinic structure which we identify as that of the isostructural phases BaWO4-II and PbWO4-III (space group P21/n). We have also performed ab initio total energy calculations which support the stability of this structure at high pressures in both compounds. The theoretical calculations further find that upon increase of pressure the scheelite phases become locally unstable and transform displacively into the fergusonite structure. The fergusonite structure is however metastable and can only occur if the transition to the P21/n phases were kinetically inhibited. Our experiments in BaWO4 indicate that it becomes amorphous beyond 47 GPa.
