description: Architected materials have garnered intense interest over the past two decades for their desirable combination of otherwise mutually exclusive properties, such as high strength and low density. This is further driven by two recent advances, namely new plate/shell-based lattices with superior properties to beam-based lattices, and the “smaller is stronger” design paradigm, wherein nearly defect-free nano/micro-sized constituent materials enhance strength. As detailed in a recent report on Metamaterials Manufacturing (authored by the mentor, Spadaccini), despite their demonstrated exceptional performance, architected materials have extremely limited industrial penetration, largely due to the lack of scalable manufacturing processes. Furthermore, key high temperature applications require chemical inertness, high strength and stiffness and high temperature resistance, which are mostly associated with undesirably brittle ceramic constituent materials.
 We propose to address these two challenges with a research proposal aimed at the introduction, modeling and optimal design of a novel closed-cell architected nanofoam topology with properties approaching the theoretical upper bounds for isotropic materials, and the development of a scalable self-assembly process to produce the aforementioned topology. The proposed topology comprises a hierarchy of micron-sized spherical voids with increasingly small diameter, and will be manufactured by dispersing well controlled hollow alumina spheres in an alumina slurry, producing an ink for direct ink writing (DIW), followed by DIW of hierarchical architected materials with macroscopic geometry and nanoscale-strengthened “constituent materials.” If successful, this work will result in a nanoarchitected ceramic material with exceptional mechanical properties which can be manufactured at the scale and throughput required by structural applications. The proposed research work will capitalize on ink development expertise, DIW equipment, and large area projection and Nanoscribe systems available at the Center for Engineered Materials and Manufacturing at LLNL, in addition to ancillary equipment at the Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory. The dissertation advisor and the lab mentor have been collaborating on a number of initiatives in the area of architected materials for nearly a decade and fully support this application.

description: The many-body problem is at the root of some of the biggest open questions in physics, including understanding the nature of high-temperature superconductivity, or the fate of quantum information in a black hole. The challenge, simply described, is that the properties of such systems are intrinsically collective and cannot, in general, be framed in the familiar language of a single particle quanta like spin, charge or momentum. Rather, these systems are characterized by emergent quantum numbers which may not take on conventionally quantized values. In this proposal, we suggest a new experimental approach aimed at identifying the underlying characteristics of the collective objects resulting from many-body physics. Our strategy uses state-of-the-art nanofabrication techniques to inject spin into a material, and probe the non-local response carried by these collective objects. Essential to this approach is the ability to tune the system from one many-body state to another, in order to probe the evolution of the collective response. We achieve this by applying extreme pressures, a unique capability developed at Lawrence Livermore National Lab. We focus on a specific class of materials known as quantum spin liquids, a family closely related to high temperature superconductors and theoretically contain emergent spin quanta. Our experiment will reveal how these particles transport information and energy, and demonstrate a path to extending these techniques to answer long standing questions in exotic materials.

description: One of the major hurdles toward developing robust machine learning models for remote sensing image analysis is the difficulty in collecting large amounts of quality training data. This project proposes to tackle this issue by exploring how generative adversarial neural network (GANN) models can be used to maximize the utility of already-existing and often too-small training datasets through novel transfer learning techniques. UCLA Ph.D. student Bohan Chen will undertake dissertation research at LANL, advised by Dr. Jon Schwenk and also Drs. Cristina Garcia-Cardona and Brendt Wohlberg. His Ph.D. advisor, Andrea Bertozzi, has prior joint work with Dr. Garcia-Cardona and has had a prior UC Lab Fees joint research project with Dr. Wohlberg. This is the first time for a joint collaboration between Dr. Schwenk’s group and Dr. Bertozzi’s group. The GANNs allow us to generate synthetic images by superimposing qualities learned from other images, e.g. adding clouds and noise to existing training data. GANNs will also be used to create additional training data by acting as a translator between sensor types, e.g. transforming cloud-penetrating radar images to Landsat-like optical images. The new machine learning techniques developed will support ongoing work at LANL that seeks to automatically identify surface water from remotely-sensed imagery. Understanding surface water dynamics is crucial for water security, including reservoir monitoring and estimating freshwater abundance. Preliminary research at LANL to detect waterbodies in Landsat imagery shows that a convolutional neural network method outperforms the state of the art Global Surface Water data product. Dr. Schwenk’s group has created an abundant high-precision training data set for arctic river waters, but have found that models trained with this data transfer poorly to other regions. Through GANNs and new transfer learning techniques, this project will develop a surface water detection model with a global application based on arctic training data. In addition to data generation, the research will develop hybrid algorithms that combine image segmentation methods with convolutional neural network methods. This project will enable anticipation and mitigation of water security crises via cutting-edge image analysis techniques to estimate water availability without on-the-ground observations.

description: At this time, there is little information about people’s preferences for the way they receive treatment and services for substance use disorders (SUDs) and HIV prevention. For example, there are now injectable forms of medication available for both purposes that may be preferable to pills. The purpose of this project is to understand what individuals leaving jail would like to see in terms of strategies to optimize their access to HIV prevention and SUD treatment. People leaving jail have higher rates of opiate use, SUDs and associated infections than those in the general population. Recent changes in the availability of treatments and reductions in access to prevention services due to COVID-19 have created changes in how these individuals might want to receive treatment. In this project, we hope to organize and work with a group of providers, public health officials. and people in jail themselves to advise us on: a) designing and conducting a survey to measure the best ways to deliver treatment for SUDs and HIV prevention; b) understanding the existing service delivery system to assess where we can integrate more consumer or client-friendly strategies; c) advising on the design of a pilot program able to best serve people leaving jail based on the group’s input and on the results of the survey, and, finally; d) on the development, delivery, and evaluation of this pilot program. By involving stakeholders throughout the life of the project, we expect to be able to find and integrate the best strategies for SUDs and HIV prevention for people leaving jail in San Francisco. Notably, we will be collaborating with the clinical group that provides care to people in jail in San Francisco – Jail Health Services - and with the Sheriff’s department who will work with us to provide enhanced linkage to care at release to make sure that the strategies we identify and the program that results will have the best chance at being sustainable in this setting and in others interested in a model that emerges from the preferences of the people it serves.

description: River deltas ringing the Arctic Ocean coastline are unique landforms shaped by both highly seasonal cold region hydrology and permafrost features such as thermokarst lakes. These lakes trap, store, and modulate the timing and magnitudes of riverine freshwater, sediment, and nutrients normally routed directly to the ocean through a distributary delta channel network (DCN). Future climate warming is expected to thaw permafrost, modifying lake coverage and therefore riverine flux delivery to the Arctic Ocean, as well as release large quantities of previously frozen carbon into the atmosphere. How and where thermokarst lake coverage on deltas will change, and how these changes will impact sediment and nutrient transport to the coast, remains highly uncertain. We propose a two-pronged approach towards building an understanding of delta lake cover response to warming by: (1) performing a data-driven multiscale analysis of lake sizes and lake and channel network spatial patterns on arctic deltas using satellite imagery and graph theoretic techniques; and (2) developing a simplified modelling approach to project lake cover changes and associated changes to delta riverine fluxes. For (1) we are developing a novel technique to study lake spacing using Voronoi tessellation and then harnessing tools from biology for quantifying multiscale organization of cells in leaves to study the tessellation of lakes on deltas. Our work is expected to discover relationships between lake size and spacing patterns and climate variables which can guide physically-based models upon which future projections can be made. For (2) we will couple a regional thermokarst lake generation model with a reduced complexity model for delta evolution (DeltaRCM), which Dr. Joel Rowland’s group at LANL recently introduced ice and permafrost representation into. We will use this to quantify how lake coverage will respond to warming, and how changing lake coverage will modify sediment and nutrient delivery to the coastline. The proposed work builds on an existing NSF Collaborative Project between Prof. Efi Foufoula-Georgiou’s group at UCI and Dr. Rowland’s group at LANL on analyzing DCN geometry and topology using graph theoretic approaches, and contributes to cross-cutting question #2 of the DOE InteRFACE (Interdisciplinary Research for Arctic Coastal Environments) project of Dr. Rowland at LANL.

description: The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will use electrons to image the quarks and gluons inside nuclei with unprecedented precision. Following endorsement by the National Academy of Sciences, DOE approved construction of the EIC at a cost of approximately $2B.

 Our Pilot Award created a consortium of 4 UC campuses and 3 UC-managed laboratories to collectively develop science goals for the EIC. Several of our members now hold key positions in the EIC Users Group—an organization of over 1000 scientists from 30 nations. A joint faculty appointment between UC Riverside and Jefferson Laboratory has been made. A call for EIC detector construction will come soon. We will respond as a consortium, to design and begin construction of the experiment over the next four years. An MRPI will position UC for EIC leadership for several decades.

 We will develop jet and heavy quark tomography of the matter deep inside nuclei, and construct the required detectors. Gluons at high densities exhibit collective properties, from which nucleons emerge. We explore many-body interactions which lead to this emergence; these are also at the forefront of other physics areas including novel superconductors and warm dense plasmas. Tomography of nuclei with the EIC requires a tracker and calorimeter for precise momentum and energy measurements. Building on our current success and leveraging the national labs’ infrastructure, we will design these and attract construction funds to California.

 Emphasizing early-career scientists, we add two assistant professors to the consortium; one is a theorist who develops new experimental observables. We propose to hire postdocs jointly, along with a “California EIC Fellow” to help connect students with LLNL, LANL and LBNL. This is an extraordinary opportunity for UC students to design and construct large-scale detectors using state-of-the-art technologies, such as highly granular silicon pixel sensors and novel compact calorimeters. Students will analyze Petabyte scale datasets with supercomputers at LBNL and Livermore. Students will gain sophisticated skills to contribute to the California economy and join the pipeline for the national laboratories.

 Our outreach plan aims to spark the imagination of K-12 students across California, with public lectures and exhibits about the only new particle collider in the US for the next twenty years.

Year: 1982

description: An approach is developed for non-catastrophic control component failure accommodation for large space structures. Reliability is considered for both the control configuration (i.e., selecting actuator locations over an admissible set) and the ultimate operation of the system. The approach presented is to construct a measure of performance that indicates the absolute goal of the system, and for a given structural design, to determine the lowest achievable cost conditional upon the failure states of the system (i.e., which actuators are operational). These costs are then weighted and summed to provide an overall system performance measure. This expected performance measure is then minimized over the set of admissible control configurations. A complete mathematical development is presented for a flexible beam and a grid structure. The optimal configurations for the failure states are determined for different normalized time of mission. Although the research is concerned with a particular problem, the analysis of the reliability incorporation in the design of control systems is of more general interest.

description: COVID-19 is exacerbating societal inequities, and will continue to drastically affect our existence for years to come. Two populations are at an exceptionally high risk of infection, adverse physical and mental health outcomes (including suicide), and extended isolation from others: 1) Healthcare Workers (HCW), frontline staff who deliver care to others (e.g., physicians, nurses), and 2) People who cannot leave their homes due to being at high risk of infection (P@HR), e.g., people with cancer, or disabilities.

 While commercial tele-medical technologies can address some of these issues, they lack touch and mobility, key features needed for meaningful, embodied, independent interaction in the world. They also place HCWs at risk (requiring bedside delivery/training), and are inaccessible and/or unusable by many P@HR. Mobile teleoperated robots with touch and manipulation capabilities are needed to protect the lives of HCWs and improve quality of life for the growing population of P@HR.

 Thus, this MRPI's research goal is to advance the state-of-the-art in mobile telemanipulation and remote participation in the world to enable at-risk Californians to engage in rich and meaningful ways within health and community environments, realized via four specific aims:
 (1) Implement UC-Iris, a novel, easy-to-use, low-cost, mobile telemanipulation robot that enables embodied telepresence via touch, vision, and mobility.
 (2) Advance the state-of-the-art in tactile sensing and haptics technology to enhance a teleoperator's ability to embody UC-Iris.
 (3) Explore P@HR use of UC-Iris for independence and inclusion in their physical communities.
 (4) Assess how systems like UC-Iris may improve quality of life / work (for P@HR / HCWs)

 This project will make substantial scientific, engineering, and societal contributions, including 1) Advancing innovative telemanipulation technologies to meet the needs of our changing world, including new methods for shared control, tactile sensing, and haptic interaction, 2) Deriving new insights into how to use telemanipulation robots to accomplish high-value tasks in hospitals and communities, 3) Improving quality of life and work for millions of Californians, especially those at-risk due to pandemic-related risks and restrictions.

description: The field of neuroscience is undergoing a technological revolution with new methods to both manipulate and record neural activity with single cell resolution. However, rarely have these advances been adapted to the clinic or operating room to study the human brain or to diagnose and treat brain disease. Electrode-based methods have been the principal technique for monitoring human brain activity in both the experimental and clinical settings for almost 100 years. Unfortunately, current electrodes are invasive and capable of blindly sampling only a small fraction of neurons within a network

 More recently, the development of optical approaches for measuring neuronal activity offers many promising features. Specifically, two-photon microscopy takes advantage of pulsed infrared laser light, which exhibits limited interaction with biological tissue, to record optical signals in dozens to tens of thousands of individual cells. In conjunction with extrinsic fluorophores, this approach can map anatomy and report function at the cellular level. Notably, two-photon calcium imaging is used routinely to track firing in brain networks with single cell resolution in awake behaving animals, but has never been attempted in humans.

 There is tremendous potential for this technology to impact the diagnosis and treatment of human brain disease. Patients with operable brain disease such as medically refractory epilepsy or intracranial tumors would greatly benefit from techniques offering precise resection of affected tissue. Imaging neuronal network activity with single cell resolution can reveal both physiological and pathological human neuronal network dynamics and synchrony, which will greatly facilitate accurate localization of clinically relevant brain states. In addition, these approaches are critical to discover important organizational principles that underlie large-scale neuronal network dynamics in the human brain.

 To accomplish this goal, we bring together physicists, engineers, neuroscientists, and clinicians in the UC system to construct a novel microscope system optimized for human studies in the operating room. This technology will be portable and shared among the UC campuses, where we will perform the first studies to image neuronal network activity in the human brain, interrogating brain regions previously identified for surgical resection in patients.

− Ajaccio, une cinquantaine d’individus fleuris devant l’ancienne grande surface «Corsaire», dans des bacs ainsi que dans les fissures des murs et des trottoirs bordant le parking [41°56’04’’N 8°44’48’’E], 13.4.201 3, Texier, E. & G. Paradis s.n. (Hb. privé Paradis).
Nouvelle espèce pour la Corse. A notre connaissance, cette adventice sténo-méditerranéenne n’avait pas encore été signalée en Corse. PIGNATTI (Fl. d’Italia 1: 253, 1982) l’indique en Ligurie, Sardaigne, Sicile, Pouilles et Calabre. Pour TISON et al. (Fl. France Médit. Continent.: 1126, 2014) ce silène fait partie des espèces introduites accidentellement sur le continent français. Dans les bacs, les espèces ornementales sont Pittosporum tobira, Polygala myrtifolia cv grandiflora, Rosmarinus officinalis, Westringia fruticosa. En 2014, le parking a été réaménagé pour un nouveau magasin, ce qui a fait diminuer le nombre de pieds de l’espèce.

description: Cultural heritage protection is of the utmost urgency for many UC students and their communities across California because their irreplaceable sites and natural environments face increasing impacts from development and climate change. UC researchers have led specific conversations around these issues in environmental science, biology, ethnography, and archaeology, but the millennia of expertise within Indigenous Californian communities who live reciprocally with these lands is often overlooked. Indigenous peoples’ traditions and continued stewardship of the land allows for an intimate understanding of the effects of climate and environmental change throughout time, as a longitudinal study which has run for over 10,000 years. Only through interdisciplinary conversations can we highlight the knowledge of California Native communities in order to effectively understand the full scope of potential impacts of climate change and development on cultural heritage. Training UC students to address these issues requires engaging with Indigenous cultural heritage management experts around California. A team of UC professors who have been engaged in community based research with Indigenous people throughout California will work together to create a holistic teaching approach on the interdisciplinary topic of cultural heritage protection.

 UCLA’s Carrying Our Ancestors Home, an Indigenous community based repatriation education project, will host 8-10 modules, culminating in an online class covering interdisciplinary approaches to cultural heritage protection. The modules will include four elements each: an original video or podcast co-created with Indigenous communities, primary resources gathered from University archives, secondary sources, and a classroom activity tying the components together. Topics include land and homeland introductions, land rematriation, repatriation of ancestors, healing from historic trauma through heritage protection and the arts, protection of Indigenous genetic data resources, and climate change’s impact on cultural heritage sites and practices. The modules will be available for UC professors and the public through the COAH’s Mukurtu CMS website, and therefore have a broader impact within the UC and across California. Providing a multidisciplinary understanding of the issues will lead to better dialogues and innovative solutions.
title: Effectiveness of Indigenous primary level teachers to teach in mother tongues in Bangladesh

description: This research is related to the effectiveness of Indigenous primary level teachers in teaching in Indigenous mother tongues in Bangladesh. The participants in the study are Indigenous Chakma language teachers at public primary schools in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHTs) of Bangladesh. For this phenomenological study, 14 teachers were interviewed through open-ended semi-structured interviews. Using thematic analysis and triangulation, the participants’ responses yielded seven themes and several sub-themes. These themes include: a) Indigenous language teacher training; b) teaching time; c) opinion about government initiatives; d) logistic support; e) use of Indigenous languages; f) teaching and assessment strategies; and g) participants’ recommendations. The inadequate literacy skills of teachers and the sluggish implementation of government education initiatives have resulted in less successful Indigenous language learning programs in public primary schools located in Indigenous populated regions of Bangladesh. The study results suggest that quick implementation of government initiatives and fulfilling promises made in policy documents regarding Indigenous language learning, protection, and Indigenous people’s rights will enhance the quality of Indigenous language learning initiatives. Furthermore, it will also generate more enthusiasm and interest among teachers in teaching Indigenous languages.

description: A daily tsunami of online information chronicles humanity’s ugliest realities. Photographs, videos, and social media posts offer a digital fingerprint of war crimes, hate speech, and disinformation. Once largely hidden from external view, many are now hypervisible because of increased use of the internet and smartphones worldwide. But the abundance of information doesn’t necessarily bring truth to light if we can’t say with relative certainty who did what to whom, and when. That’s where online open source investigations—sourcing and verifying content on the Internet—can make a monumental contribution to truth, justice, and fact-finding, especially in the midst of a pandemic where the flow of accurate information across digital spaces is essential.

 Research, investigations and evidence-gathering are changing dramatically with the rise of new technologies—and the University of California system is poised to help lead this shift.

 UC Berkeley’s Human Rights Center launched the first university-based digital open source investigations lab in Fall 2016. Since then, faculty and staff have trained hundreds of students in open source investigation skills and contributed to dozens of investigations with our partners, including major NGOs (such as Amnesty International), media (such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and Reuters), and war crimes investigators (at the UN and international tribunals). In Fall 2019, UCSC launched a lab within its Research Center for the Americas to focus open source investigations on the Americas. These two labs are empowering students to find, verify, analyze, and present digital information and potential evidence—collaborating with leading partners to break ground and break news, and setting international standards for using digital information to secure justice for the worst abuses.

 UCB and UCSC are now working with their world-class counterparts at UCLA Law’s Promise Institute for Human Rights to establish a third open source investigations laboratory within the UC system.

 Each campus brings unique and essential expertise. By sharing resources, curricula, and personnel, the University of California has an opportunity to become the global academic hub for digital fact-finding—training a next generation to tackle the world’s greatest human rights challenges and providing critical capacity to fact-finders worldwide.

description: California is an agriculturally diverse and productive state, and yet its food system is vulnerable to climate change, regulatory change, water availability, and unexpected disturbances. Agricultural workforce shortages are also negatively affecting our food system. The proposed Labor and Automation in California Agriculture or LACA team is an interdisciplinary group spanning 4 UC campuses and UC Agriculture & Natural Resources (ANR) that is striving for transdisciplinary outcomes. Partnering with farmers, workers, and agriculturalists, LACA’s goal is to create a new model for agricultural technology, the AgTech-Labor, that is farmer- and worker-friendly, while enhancing productivity and environmental sustainability. The proposed research approach will launch UC to the forefront of agrifood system research because of its (1) participatory design framework, (2) features aimed at sustaining California’s agricultural culture and the environment, and (3) intention to create attractive and equitable career pathways in AgTech.

 We will achieve the LACA objectives using 4 interwoven research thrusts which, although described separately, required a convergent (trans-disciplinary) approach to be successful. The 3 primary, interwoven thrusts are: (1) AgTech – Developing novel AgTech systems, specifically 3 types of stationary and robotic systems, (2) The Environment – Developing novel environmental sustainability tools and functions in the context of the 3 initial AgTech systems, and (3) Labor – Using the same 3 systems to examine the future of farm work, barriers to adoption, and California farm labor markets. Thrust (4), Underlying and Emerging Issues, will strategically attack key policy and legal issues, agroeconomic, and social issues that LACA needs to consider while creating the new AgTech-Labor model. We will transfer knowledge created by LACA to the betterment of California, its students, workers, and citizens by disseminating our research outcomes in case study reports, curricula, AgTech training materials and best practices. We will impact UC graduate students by cross-training them in the 4 research thrusts, motivate UC undergraduates to pursue exciting AgTech-related careers, and inspire California middle-schoolers from under-resourced communities to better lives and careers as part of an equitable, productive, and resilient California food system.
