description: This report describes experimental and numerical investigations on pulse detonation tubes carried out in the Explosion Dynamics Laboratory at Caltech during 1999-2002. The goal of this work was to develop a database on impulse measurements using direct ballistic measurement of impulse; and to develop a model based on simple gas dynamic principles that could be used to predict impulse for a wide range of fuels and initial conditions. At the time we started this work, there was a great deal of conflicting information regarding the values of impulse that could be obtained. Our goal was to clarify this situation and to develop a better understanding of the factors that controlled impulse generation in a pulse detonation tube - the simplest version of a pulse detonation engine. Since we began this project, many groups from throughout the world have made impulse models, carried out new numerical studies, and made direct experimental measurements of impulse. The work of these researchers has been invaluable to us as we refined and tested our ideas against their data and ours. We would like to acknowledge discussions with Fred Schauer (AFRL, USA), Chris Brophy (NPS,USA), K. Kailasanath (NRL, USA), R. Santoro (PSU, USA), Andrew Higgins (McGill University), Paul Harris (DREV, Canada), and E. Daniau (ENSMA - France). In particular, we thank Fred Schauer for generously sharing his data with us.

We initially began preparing this report in 2000 and it went through a number of revisions with portions being presented at the Joint Propulsion Conference in the summer of 2001. Subsequently, the material underwent further revision and additions in preparation for journal publication and the orginal report was significantly out of date. We have chosen to replace the original text with preprints of our journal articles and retained the appendices to the original report. The material in Parts II and III consist of preprints of revised versions (accepted for publications) of two papers submitted to the Journal of Propulsion and Power in the winter of 2001-2002. The Appendices contain additional details about the modeling, details on the experimental setup, tabulated data from the experiments, and tabulated results of model computations.

Role of light-feeding phase relations on glucose metabolism
Creators: name: Bae, Seul
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Along with light/dark cycle, food intake is a strong zeitgeber, a cue given by the environment on host to reset the internal body clock. In mammals, metabolic activities are under the regulation of daily feeding rhythms as well as the peripheral clock machinery. In turn, the feeding rhythms influence the circadian rhythms of key clock components via enzymatic reactions and transcriptional regulations. Understanding the mechanism of interplay between the circadian clocks and metabolic activities are important as disruption of one seems to affect the other. Several studies showed evidence that disruption of circadian rhythms can facilitate metabolic syndrome. For example, shift-work and sleep deprivation result in dampened rhythms and obesity. Other studies suggested that obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases are linked with disruption of daily rhythms in food intake. At a molecular level, clock mutant mice show a decrease in metabolic rate, while liver-specific Bmal1 knockout mice and pancreas-specific Clock or Bmal1 knockout mice exhibit a disruption in glucose homeostasis. On the other hand, time-restricted feeding studies in mice show that metabolic cues influence circadian rhythmicityAlthough proper clock gene functions are linked to a wide variety of energy metabolism functions including lipogenesis and appetite control, glucose homeostasis is of a particular interest since clock gene deficiencies directly lead to diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, possible molecular mechanisms that lead to a breach in glucose homeostasis have been suggested from a number of animal studies. I used semi-mechanistic mathematical models to evaluate the effect of circadian disruption on hepatic gluconeogenesis. The models allow examination of the entrainment dynamics of peripheral clock genes by two convoluted environmental signals, feeding rhythm transmitted through SIRT1 and the light/dark cycle transmitted through the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis (HPA) and cortisol. The mechanism behind metabolic implications under circadian disruption is achieved via linking the dynamics of clock genes and cortisol to transcription of gluconeogenic genes and insulin secretion. The model predicts that a few hours of restricted feeding in the early active phase of the host is beneficial for robust oscillation of clock genes, appropriate level of gluconeogenesis, and maximum secretion of insulin. Additionally, an asymmetry between the entrainment strengths of light/dark cycle and feeding/fasting cycle contributes to the convolusion of environmental signals in downstream metabolic activities.

description: A health workforce capable of implementing genomic medicine requires effective genomics education. Genomics education interventions developed for health professions over the last two decades, and their impact, are variably described in the literature. To inform an
evaluation framework for genomics education, we undertook an exploratory scoping review of published needs assessments for, and/or evaluations of, genomics education interventions for health professionals from 2000 to 2023. We retrieved and screened 4,659 records across the two searches with 363 being selected for full-text review and consideration by an interdisciplinary working group. 104 articles were selected for inclusion in the review—60 needs assessments, 52 genomics education evaluations, and eight describing both. Included articles spanned all years and described education interventions in over 30 countries. Target audiences included medical specialists, nurses/midwives, and/or allied health professionals. Evaluation questions, outcomes, and measures were extracted, categorized, and tabulated to iteratively compare measures across stages of genomics education evaluation: planning (pre-implementation), development and delivery (implementation), and impact (immediate, intermediate, or long-term outcomes). They are presented here along with descriptions of study designs.We document the wide variability in evaluation approaches and terminology used to define measures and note that few articles considered downstream (long-term) outcomes of genomics education interventions. Alongside the evaluation framework for genomics education, results from this scoping review form part of a toolkit to help educators to undertake rigorous genomics evaluation that is fit for purpose and can contribute to the growing evidence base of the contribution of genomics education in implementation strategies for genomic medicine.

(Fig. 11)
Material. Holotype PIN 3429/107, lateral imprint of male. Paratypes: PIN 3429/1105, imprint of male without head; PIN 3429/1133, lateral imprint of male without wings and gaster. Other specimens:PIN3429/1131 and 3429/1189, forewings.
Description. Male. Body length about 10–13 mm. Head trapezoid, 0.94 times as long as wide, with rounded occipital corners and weakly convex occipital margin. Anterior margin of clypeus rounded. Eyes oval, large, convex; head twice as long as maximum eye diameter. Scape protruding beyond posterior margin of head, 1.3times as long as head. Scutum convex in side view, does not overhang pronotum, 1.5times as long as scutellum. Propodeum gradually rounded in side view. Petiole triangulated in side view, nearly as long as wide and high. Genitalia with stipes triangular, rounded apically, 1.5 times as long as wide near the base. Forewing venation as in genus. Cell3r 3.7–4.7times as long as wide. Cell1+2r 2–2.5times as long as wide. Cell mcu trapecioid. Icu=2.6–2.7.
Measurements, mm. Holotype PIN 3429/107: AL 3.9; SctL1.9; SctlL1.3; PtL0.6; PtH0.6; FWL6.3. Paratype3429/1105: AL 3.4; PtL 0.5; PtW 0.51; FWL 6.5. Paratype 3429/1133: AL 3.3; HL1; HW1.1; ED0.48; SL1.3. Specimen PIN 3429/1131: FWL6.1. Specimen PIN 3429/1189: FWL6.7.
Comparison. By now, only 3 extinct Formica males are described in sufficient detail: Baltic amber F.flori and F.gustawi [Dlussky, 2003] and F.ungeri Heer, 1849 from the Miocene of Radoboj in Croatia [Dlussky, Putyatina, 2014]. Formica paleosibirica sp. n. differs from the two former species in having genitalia with stipes apex more rounded, and from F. ungeri in having propodeum lateral contour rounded rather than forming rounded obtuse angle.
Notes. For the present, it can be neither confirmed nor excluded that the above described worker and males belong to one and the same species.
Etymology. From the Latinized Greek palaios (ancient) and Siberia.

The goddess on parade

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: This dissertation investigates mobile cult statues and their reflection in Euripides’ Iphigeneia among the Taurians and the Helen. Chapter One deals with the physical evidence for small, mobile cult images: their traditional settings, contexts, and histories of exchange and movement. Chapter Two is a survey of the literary terms used to refer to cult images. The first part of chapter Three treats the evidence for “arriving” cult images in ritual festivals and processions. Using the Athenian tradition of the theft of the Palladion as a case study, the second part of the chapter analyzes the different ways a community could characterize this “original arrival.” Chapter Four presents an analysis of the different modalities of exchange which characterized the movement of cult statues. These images were objects manipulated by humans, and thus all possible activities associated with possessions (theft, exchange, permanent loss, or freely given gift) were capable of influencing their use.  Chapter Five analyzes how these human situations influenced Euripides’ IT and the Helen. I argue that in the IT, Iphigenia, just like the “Bears” of the Arkteia, is dedication herself. As priestess of Artemis, she is a gift given to the goddess, and her movement reflects the traditional sequence of a dedicatory journey: travel, gift, and return. When Orestes steals her back from the Taurians his action reflects the traditional concerns surrounding a stolen cult object: the rights and comportment of marginalized strata of society. On the other hand, in the Helen, the existence of the ghostly eidôlon removes all authority and “truth” from the representation and locates it in Helen herself. The effect of this relocation results in a focus not on the dramatization of the exchange of cult images as in the IT (that is, dedication or theft), but on the “truth” of representation itself. This critique culminates in the escape of Menelaus and Helen from Egypt under cover of a false burial ceremony where the active participants are not dead but alive. The historical burial of Spartan kings involved – in certain circumstances – the use of processed images of the dead called eidôla. I argue that Menelaus’ status as a figure outside the Agiad and Eurypontid sphere of authority combined with the emphasis on the living authority of Helen implies a critique of the use of representation to create authority in Sparta.

Examining the red thread of information in young children’s interests
Creators: name: Barriage, Sarah Corinne
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: Children and adolescents engage with information in a variety of contexts for a variety of reasons, including their desire to know more about their own personal interests. However, young children have typically been excluded from research in this area. This dissertation research addresses this gap by investigating the ways in which 5- to 7-year-old children experience information within the context of their individual interests. Individual interests are “enduring preference[s] for certain topics, subject areas, or activities” (Schiefele, 1991, p. 302) that are commonly exhibited by children and adults alike.     Drawing conceptually and methodologically on the framework of information experience and the field of childhood studies, this dissertation research makes use of a book discussion, a poster activity, a mobile photography app called PixStori, and photo-elicitation conversations in constructing an understanding of the ways in which young children think and feel about their individual interests and related information wants and activities.     The findings of this dissertation research contribute to the existing body of literature regarding children’s information practices by providing insight into the ways in which young children think and feel about information. The children who participated in this study articulated information wants that included descriptions, procedures, and explanations related to their interests. The children described information activities that involved information seeking and information use. Information seeking involved activities related to things that can tell you stuff, people that can tell you stuff, and experiences that can tell you stuff. Using information involved activities in which children applied information to their activities, and activities in which they shared information with others. Challenges that the children faced in engaging in these information activities included those related to their own capabilities and skills, constraints of information sources, and parental restrictions. Enablers that helped the children engage in information activities included the child’s personality, affordances of technology, and parental support. And finally, the children reported primarily positive emotions when engaging with information related to their individual interests, as well as some mixed emotions.     This dissertation highlights the usefulness of incorporating research methods and theories developed in the field of childhood studies to research in library and information science in order to better understand the information practices of young children.

description: This report is an account of research carried out from January to June 2000 on the feasibility of detonation initiation and impulse generation for small-scale pulse detonation engines. The initial work was focussed on the direct measurement of impulse using the ballistic pendulum technique for single detonations initiated in a tube with one end open to the atmosphere through a thin diaphragm. Three tubes were used: (1) 38-mm diameter by 1.5 m long. (2) 75-mm diameter by 0.6 m long. (3) 75-mm diameter by 1 m long. At the closed end of the tube, combustion was initiated by a low energy, less than 50 mJ, capacitor discharge system. A fast flame or detonation was created by transition to detonation. The effect of spirals and orifice plates was examined on propane- and ethylene-oxygen-nitrogen mixtures with varying initial pressure, equivalence ratio, and dilution amounts. A simple model for the impulse in prompt detonations was developed and calibrated. The results of our experiments were compared with this model.

Detonation Diffraction Through a Mixture Gradient
Creators: name: Schultz, E.
name: Shepherd, J.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2000

description: A simple one-dimensional model of a self-propagating gaseous detonation consists of a shock wave tightly coupled to a reaction zone, propagating through a combustible gas mixture as shown in Fig. 1 (Strehlow 1984). A feedback mechanism exists in that the shock wave generates the thermodynamic conditions under which the gas combusts, and the energy release from the reaction zone maintains the strength of the shock This is in contrast to a flame, or deflagrative combustion, in which thermal and species transport processes dominate. Given a particular set of initial conditions, a self-propagating detonation wave travels at a constant Chapman-Jouguet velocity (VCJ) on the order of a few thousand meters per second, with associated pressures and temperatures of tens of bar and several thousand degrees, respectively. A detonation is actually a three-dimensional shock-reaction zone complex with a dynamic wavefront composed of curved incident, mach stem, and transverse shock waves as depicted in Fig. 2 (Strehlow 1970). The transverse shocks sweep across the wavefront and the triple-point paths form a diamond-shaped cellular pattern. The cell width [Greek lambda] is a characteristic length scale of detonations, indicative of the coupling between gasdynamic and chemical processes.

description: This paper introduces a cost-effective robotic handwriting system designed to replicate human-like handwriting with high precision. Combining a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller, 3D-printed components, and a machine learning-based handwriting generation model implemented via TensorFlow, the system converts user-supplied text into realistic stroke trajectories. By leveraging lightweight 3D-printed materials and efficient mechanical designs, the system achieves a total hardware cost of approximately \$56, significantly undercutting commercial alternatives. Experimental evaluations demonstrate handwriting precision within $\pm$0.3 millimeters and a writing speed of approximately 200 mm/min, positioning the system as a viable solution for educational, research, and assistive applications. This study seeks to lower the barriers to personalized handwriting technologies, making them accessible to a broader audience.

Infinite limits of finite-dimensional permutation structures, and their automorphism groups
Creators: name: Braunfeld, Samuel Walker
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: In the course of classifying the homogeneous permutations, Cameron introduced the viewpoint of permutations as structures in a language of two linear orders [7], and this structural viewpoint is taken up here. The majority of this thesis is concerned with Cameron's problem of classifying the homogeneous structures in a language of finitely many linear orders, which we call finite-dimensional permutation structures. Towards this problem, we present a construction that we conjecture produces all such structures. Some evidence for this conjecture is given, including the classification of the homogeneous 3-dimensional permutation structures.    We next consider the topological dynamics, in the style of Kechris, Pestov, and Todorčević, of the automorphism groups of the homogeneous finite-dimensional permutation structures we have constructed, which requires proving a structural Ramsey theorem for all the associated amalgamation classes. Because the 0-definable equivalence relations in these homogeneous finite-dimensional permutation structures may form arbitrary finite distributive lattices, the model-theoretic algebraic closure operation may become quite complex, and so we require the framework recently introduced by Hubička and Nešetril [16].    Finally, we turn to the interaction of model theory with more classical topics in the theory of permutation avoidance classes. We consider the decision problem for whether a finitely-constrained permutation avoidance class is atomic, or equivalently, has the joint embedding property. As a first approximation to this problem, we prove the undecidability of the corresponding decision problem in the category of graphs. Modifying this proof also gives the undecidability, in the category of graphs, of the corresponding decision problem for the joint homomorphism property, which is of interest in infinite-domain constraint satisfaction problems.    The results in the first 8 chapters of this thesis largely appeared in the previous articles [4], [5], and [6]. In many places the arguments and context have been expanded upon, and in the case of some arguments from [4], they have been simplified.
Invading the home
Creators: name: Bowes, Julia
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: This dissertation explores how the rise of the modern liberal state in the United States challenged male rule in the family by assuming direct responsibility for the governance of children’s lives. Between 1865 and 1933, every state in the country introduced compulsory education, child labor and mandatory vaccination laws that set minimum standards for all children. In this period, a diverse array of reformers and state-builders sought to expand the purpose and purview of the state by twinning the “rights of the child” with the “needs of the state.” The expansion of the states’ powers over children, however, also provoked a fierce resistance from a broad range of Americans who argued that the state was usurping the natural rights of fathers and “invading the home.” The dissertation traces the emergence of a gendered anti-statist politics rooted in a defense of the sovereign white family. By the 1920s, as reformers sought to extend the state’s powers over children to the federal government, paternal sovereignty became a central pillar of national anti-statist movements. “Invading the Home” reveals a network of conservative activists composed of unlikely allies, including Boston Brahmins, the Catholic and Lutheran Churches, anti-suffragists, farmers, Southern industrialists, anti-vaccinationists, laissez-faire constitutionalists, and Democrats and Republicans alike, who united in a defense of the sovereign family, which proved an effective rallying-cry across class and faith lines to galvanize opposition to the expansion of state power.
