description: AB$_2$O$_4$ normal spinels with a magnetic B site can host a variety of magnetic and orbital frustrations leading to spin-liquid phases and field-induced phase transitions. Here we report the first epitaxial growth of (111)-oriented MgCr$_2$O$_4$ thin films. By characterizing the structural and electronic properties of films grown along (001) and (111) directions, the influence of growth orientation has been studied. Despite distinctly different growth modes observed during deposition, the comprehensive characterization reveals no measurable disorder in the cation distribution nor multivalency issue for Cr ions in either orientation. Contrary to a naive expectation, the (111) stabilized films exhibit a smoother surface and a higher degree of crystallinity than (001)-oriented films. The preference in growth orientation is explained within the framework of heteroepitaxial stabilization in connection to a significantly lower (111) surface energy. These findings open broad opportunities in the fabrication of 2D kagome-triangular heterostructures with emergent magnetic behavior inaccessible in bulk crystals.
title: Characterisation and function of nuclear RNA at mitosis in mammalian cells

description: The nuclear membrane encloses DNA, nuclear RNAs and proteins separating them from the surrounding cytoplasm but breaks down at the onset of mitosis allowing spindle attachment to the highly condensed mitotic chromosomes. Interphase nuclei contain a tremendous amount of RNA, and the prevailing view is that it mostly diffuses to the cytoplasm at mitosis and is inactive while there. However, using FISH and de novo RNA labelling, I found significant populations of formerly nuclear RNA to be immediately encircling and also embedded between mammalian mitotic chromosomes. These patterns were distinct from the RNA component of the perichromosomal layer (i.e. pre-rRNA) and conserved between different cell lines, and so reveal a previously unrecognised subcellular zone. The consistent patterns and large amounts of RNA involved suggested they would have essential functions at mitosis. In support of that idea, I found that globally suppressing de novo RNA transcription, but not protein synthesis, caused major mitotic aberration including failure of NMBD, loss of chromatid definition and failure to progress through mitosis. To analyse this further, I developed a novel chromosome decondensation assay based on isolated mitotic prometaphase clusters in which simple changes in Mg2+ concentration could induce dramatic and reversible decondensation. Remarkably, and contrary to all current models of mitotic chromosome condensation, I showed that RNA embedded in the cluster was the primary determinant of the degree of chromosome decondensation. These novel findings introduce RNA as a key player in mitotic chromosomal condensation, chromosome segregation and nuclear membrane break down. Also, opening up a new frontier in understanding mitotic division.

description: In this article we investigate the structure of the non-local part of the symmetry term, that leads to a splitting of the effective masses of protons and neutrons in asymmetric matter. Based on microscopic transport simulations we suggest some rather sensitive observables in collisions of neutron-rich (unstable) ions at intermediate ($RIA$) energies. In particular we focus the attention on pre-equilibrium nucleon emissions. We discuss interesting correlations between the N/Z content of the fast emitted particles and their rapidity or transverse momentum, that show a nice dependence on the prescription used for the effective mass splitting.

In this contribution, we present the results of our ISAAC Ks-band spectroscopic and H and Ks-band photometric observations of 9 sources of this sample. In seven sources we find hydrogen recombination lines Paalpha and Brgamma of which five galaxies show a broad component. In three sources, extended molecular hydrogen emission is detected in the 1-0S(1) line. The stellar CO-absorption feature is only detectable in 5 objects, those sources with J-H and H-K colors closest to those of ordinary galaxies.

description: The micromobility is shaping first- and last-mile travels in urban areas. Recently, shared dockless electric scooters (e-scooters) have emerged as a daily alternative to driving for short-distance commuters in large cities due to the affordability, easy accessibility via an app, and zero emissions. Meanwhile, e-scooters come with challenges in city management, such as traffic rules, public safety, parking regulations, and liability issues. In this paper, we collected and investigated 5.8 million scooter-tagged tweets and 144,197 images, generated by 2.7 million users from October 2018 to March 2020, to take a closer look at shared e-scooters via crowdsourcing data analytics. We profiled e-scooter usages from spatial-temporal perspectives, explored different business roles (i.e., riders, gig workers, and ridesharing companies), examined operation patterns (e.g., injury types, and parking behaviors), and conducted sentiment analysis. To our best knowledge, this paper is the first large-scale systematic study on shared e-scooters using big social data.
Transient Emissions from Radio-Active Stars: Implications for Wide-Field Radio Surveys

description: Variability is a common characteristic of magnetically active stars. Flaring variability is usually interpreted as the observable consequence of transient magnetic reconnection processes happening in the stellar outer atmosphere. Stellar flares have been observed now across 11 decades in wavelength/frequency/energy; such a large span implies that a range of physical processes takes place during such events. Despite the fact that stellar radio flares have long been recognized and studied, key unanswered questions remain. I will highlight what, in my opinion, are some of these questions. I will also describe recent results on stellar flare emissions at radio wavelengths, discussing the nature of coherent and incoherent emissions and the prospects of wide-field radio imaging telescopes for studying such events.

description: We investigated various types of commercial silica irradiated with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser radiation (4.66 eV), with exposure time ranging up to 10000 s. Transient E' centers were probed in situ by measuring the amplitude of the optical absorption band at 5.8 eV (due to E' centers) both during and after irradiation. The laser-induced absorption is observed only in natural samples, whereas the synthetic materials exhibit high toughness to radiation effect. The reported results evidence that the kinetics of E' centers is influenced by their reaction with diffusing molecular hydrogen H2 made available by dimerization of radiolytic H0.

Orbicella spp. assessment across a shallow-mesophotic gradient on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef

description: We investigate the population density, colony size distribution and reproductive behaviour in the genus Orbicella on the southern Mesoamerican barrier reef. The genus Orbicella contains three coral species, with two of them (O. annularis and O. faveolata) listed as endangered by the IUCN and ZSL EDGE species list. In response to population declines, IUCN recommends that to support O. annularis and O. faveolata conservation research should be conducted into their ‘population, abundance, ecology, habitat status and resilience to threats’. All three Orbicella species have been recorded on both shallow and mesophotic (30-150m) reefs. Yet information on the density and reproductive capabilities of Orbicella spp. are mostly limited to shallow reefs.

As part of extensive surveys conducted by the Oxford University Mesophotic Reef Expedition ‘Thinking Deep’ on Utila, Houduras during summer 2015, we assessed densities of Orbicella species across a 5-40m depth gradient. However, these surveys identified few Orbicella colonies deeper than 25m. Therefore to better understand differences in colony size we conducted detailed colony measurements for O. faveolata at 5-10m and 20-25m depths. Many observed colonies on deeper reefs appear to be remnants of larger single O. faveolata colonies that have suffered large tissue necrosis leaving separated smaller patches of living tissue behind. To better understand resilience to human impacts we monitored all Orbicella spp. following the August 2015 full moon at a highly sedimented reef. We observed O. franski and O. annularis spawning, including particularly small colonies (0.042m2), suggesting the sedimentation was not causing large stress. This study serves as a baseline of Orbicella species to increase understanding of population densities and reproductive behaviour on the southern Mesoamerican barrier reef.

description: Recently we considered a stochastic discrete model which describes fronts of cells invading a wound \cite{KSS}. In the model cells can move, proliferate, and experience cell-cell adhesion. In this work we focus on a continuum description of this phenomenon by means of a generalized Cahn-Hilliard equation (GCH) with a proliferation term. As in the discrete model, there are two interesting regimes. For subcritical adhesion, there are propagating "pulled" fronts, similarly to those of Fisher-Kolmogorov equation. The problem of front velocity selection is examined, and our theoretical predictions are in a good agreement with a numerical solution of the GCH equation. For supercritical adhesion, there is a nontrivial transient behavior, where density profile exhibits a secondary peak. To analyze this regime, we investigated relaxation dynamics for the Cahn-Hilliard equation without proliferation. We found that the relaxation process exhibits self-similar behavior. The results of continuum and discrete models are in a good agreement with each other for the different regimes we analyzed.

description: A novel mathematical model for fiber-reinforced materials is proposed. It is based on a 1-dimensional beam model for the thin fiber structures, a flexible and general 3-dimensional elasticity model for the matrix and an overlapping domain decomposition approach. From a computational point of view, this is motivated by the fact that matrix and fibers can easily meshed independently. Our main interest is in fiber reinforce polymers where the Young's modulus are quite different. Thus the modeling error from the overlapping approach is of no significance. The coupling conditions acknowledge both, the forces and the moments of the beam model and transfer them to the background material. A suitable static condensation procedure is applied to remove the beam balance equations. The condensed system then forms our starting point for a numerical approximation in terms of isogeometric analysis. The choice of our discrete basis functions of higher regularity is motivated by the fact, that as a result of the static condensation, we obtain second gradient terms in fiber direction. Eventually, a series of benchmark tests demonstrate the flexibility and robustness of the proposed methodology. As a proof-of-concept, we show that our new model is able to capture bending, torsion and shear dominated situations.

description: The objective of the survey summarized in this report is to establish 1989 safety belt and child safety seat usage rates in Kentucky to compare to those determined from previous surveys. Also included in this report is an analysis of accident records evaluating the effectiveness of safety belts.  Statewide usage rates in the 19 cities previously surveyed in 1982 through 1988 showed that driver safety belt usage increased substantially in 1989 while child safety seat usage stabilized in 1989 at close to the 1988 level. The statewide usage rate of safety belts by drivers was 25.5 percent in 1989 compared to 20.5 in 1988, 13.0 percent in 1986, 9.2 percent in 1985, 6.9 percent in 1984, 5.8 percent in 1983, and 4.2 percent in 1982. The percentage of children in either a safety seat or belt was 48.8 percent in 1989 compared to 47.7 percent in 1988, 30.2 percent in 1986, 29.1 percent in 1985, 30.3 percent in 1984, 24.2 percent in 1983, and 15.4 percent in 1982.  Benefits in the reduction of injuries for occupants involved in police-reported accidents wearing a safety belt or in a safety seat were shown through the analysis of accident records. For example, a 42 percent reduction in fatal or incapacitating injuries was determined for drivers wearing a safety belt compared to those who were not restrained.  The data analysis resulted in the following recommendations: 1) a statewide mandatory safety belt law should be passed or, in lieu of a statewide law, cities should pass such a law, 2) enforcement of the existing child restraint law should be increased, and 3) the existing child restraint law should be strengthened.
An analysis of polycomb group protein interactions
Creators: name: Kyba, Michael Stephen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Polycomb Group (PcG) of proteins are global regulators of transcription. PcG mutants display posterior homeotic transformations, the result of ectopic expression of homeotic selector genes of the Bithorax and Antennapedia Complex, demonstrating that the PcG is required for the repression of target genes outside of their normal spatial boundaries of expression. Coimmunoprecipitation, cofractionation, and colocation on larval salivary gland chromosomes suggest that PcG proteins act through large multimeric complexes formed at their target sites. This thesis is a characterization of the protein interactions that underlie multimeric complex formation. Using the yeast two-hybrid system and an in vitro co-affinity precipitation assay, I demonstrate direct interactions between Polycomb (Pc) and Posterior Sex Combs (Psc), and between Psc and polyhomeotic (ph). I also show that Psc, ph, and Asx have self-interacting domains, and perform a detailed analysis of the selfinteracting domain of ph. For the most part, these interacting domains are highly conserved between the Drosophila proteins and their mammalian counterparts. Because Asx shows no direct interact interactions with Pc, Psc, or ph, I screen Asx for interacting proteins within a two-hybrid library and within a two-hybrid panel of other chromatin proteins. Several interactors are identified, including the Drosophila homologue of cyclin G, and z40, a previously unknown protein which interacts strongly with Pc. In addition, an interaction is demonstrated between the respective carboxyl termini of Asx and trithorax (trx), a protein required for activation of homeotic selector genes. I show that Psc can repress transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and show that this repression does not require interactions with a variety of yeast proteins required for repression of various loci in the S. cerevisiae genome. These data enlarge our understanding of the structure of PcG complexes, and suggest that PcG proteins interact with one another promiscuously, enabling them, in theory, to form a large number of different complexes each tailored to a particular chromosomal neighbourhood.
Allocation of Highway Costs and Revenues

description: This highway cost and revenue allocation study is the fourth of a recent Kentucky series begun in 1982. Experience gained with each study has resulted in subsequent refinements that have enlarged the data base, enhanced the accuracy, and simplified the study process. One of the long-term aims is to develop an easy-to-use process for continuously monitoring effects of changes in traffic patterns, in finance and tax policy, and in highway expenditures.  The primary objective of the current study was to determine the 1989 levels of revenue contribution and cost responsibility for each of several classes of Kentucky highway users. As was the case in the two most recent prior studies, incremental cost assignment has been replaced with various highway use measures including vehicle-miles of travel, axle-miles, passenger-car-equivalent-miles, and equivalent single- axle-load-miles.  The analysis indicates that cost responsibility is borne most heavily by passenger cars and motorcycles (45.7 percent). Heavy trucks, those with gross weights of 60,000 pounds or more, were responsible for 23.2 percent of the cost. Pickups and other vehicles registered in the 6,000-pound category were responsible for 20.2 percent of the cost. Cost responsibility of all other user groups totaled 10.9 percent.  Revenue collected from passenger cars and motorcycles fell approximately 2 percent short of their cost responsibility: heavy trucks contributed approximately 12 percent more than their responsibility. Without a temporary surcharge of 1.15 cents per mile on heavy truck operations, the revenue and cost responsibility would have been very nearly balanced for cars and light trucks, pickups and heavy trucks would have contributed slightly more revenue than their cost responsibilities, and medium trucks would have failed to meet their responsibility.

description: The outer hair cell (OHC) membrane harbors a voltage-dependent protein, prestin (SLC26a5), in high density, whose charge movement is evidenced as a nonlinear capacitance (NLC). NLC is bell-shaped, with its peak occurring at a voltage, Vh, where sensor charge is equally distributed across the plasma membrane. Thus, Vh provides information on the conformational state of prestin. Vh is sensitive to membrane tension, shifting to positive voltage as tension increases and is the basis for considering prestin piezoelectric (PZE). NLC can be deconstructed into real and imaginary components that report on charge movements in phase or 90 degrees out of phase with AC voltage. Here we show in membrane macro-patches of the OHC that there is a partial trade-off in the magnitude of real and imaginary components as interrogation frequency increases, as predicted by a recent PZE model (Rabbitt, 2020). However, we find similar behavior in a simple kinetic model of prestin that lacks piezoelectric coupling, the meno presto model. At a particular frequency, Fis, the complex component magnitudes intersect. Using this metric, Fis, which depends on the frequency response of each complex component, we find that initial Vh influences Fis; thus, by categorizing patches into groups of different Vh, (above and below -30 mV) we find that Fis is lower for the negative Vh group. We also find that the effect of membrane tension on complex NLC is dependent, but differentially so, on initial Vh. Whereas the negative group exhibits shifts to higher frequencies for increasing tension, the opposite occurs for the positive group. Despite complex component trade-offs, the low-pass roll-off in absolute magnitude of NLC, which varies little with our perturbations and is indicative of diminishing total charge movement, poses a challenge for a role of voltage-driven prestin in cochlear amplification at very high frequencies.

description: We argue that RHIC data, in particular those on the anisotropic flow coefficients v_2 and v_4, suggest that the matter produced in the early stages of nucleus-nucleus collisions is incompletely thermalized. We interpret the parameter (1/S)(dN/dy), where S is the transverse area of the collision zone and dN/dy the multiplicity density, as an indicator of the number of collisions per particle at the time when elliptic flow is established, and hence as a measure of the degree of equilibration. This number serves as a control parameter which can be varied experimentally by changing the system size, the centrality of the collision, or the beam energy. We provide predictions for Cu-Cu collisions at RHIC as well as for Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC.

description: Concern has grown in recent years over the seismic activity of the New Madrid seismic zone in Western Kentucky. Bridges, as the vital links of the priority route system, need to be prevented from sever earthquake damages in order to keep the routes passible after an earthquake has occurred. In this report, seismic rating and seismic analysis were performed for each of 276 bridges on the priority route system. A priority order of retrofitting for the bridges was listed according to their vulnerability to the earthquake. At least 111 bridges need retrofitting based on the results of seismic analyses. The numbers of bridges needing to be retrofitted were determined for different confidence levels. The methods of estimating spanloss type of bridge collapse due to earthquake induced abutment sliding and evaluating bridge damages related to earthquake induced vibration of pier or bent were developed. ATC analysis was also conducted for each bridge.

description: We present the discovery of two new hot Jupiters identified from the WASP survey, WASP-186b and WASP-187b (TOI-1494.01 and TOI-1493.01). Their planetary nature was established from SOPHIE spectroscopic observations, and additional photometry was obtained from TESS. Stellar parameters for the host stars are derived from spectral line, IRFM, and isochrone placement analyses. These parameters are combined with the photometric and radial velocity data in an MCMC method to determine the planetary properties. WASP-186b is a massive Jupiter (4.22 +/- 0.18 M_J, 1.11 +/-0.03 R_J) orbiting a mid-F star on a 5.03 day eccentric (e=0.327 +/- 0.008) orbit. WASP-187b is a low density (0.80 +/- 0.09 M_J, 1.64 +/- 0.05 R_J) planet in a 5.15 day circular orbit around a slightly evolved early F-type star.

Estimation of Equivalent Axleloads Using Data Collected by Automated Vehicle Classification and Weigh-in-Motion Equipment

Year: 1990
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The primary objective of this research study was to modify the existing EAL estimation system to include data obtained using the Golden River Weigh-In-Motion system and automated vehicle classification equipment. Data are to be collected over a three-year cycle in accordance with the FHWA Traffic Monitoring Guide. Having the capability of moving the portable weigh-in-motion scales to locations other than interstate sites permits the collection and analyses of specific data at sites on other highway functional classifications. Such data permits estimating both accumulated and future EAL requirements for that site. Such data permits estimating EAL requirements for sites on the same highway functional classification for which AADT is the only available data.  An algorithm was developed to identify heavy/coal trucks weighed by W\M. The algorithm involves a minimum weight for straight-frame trucks and for semi-trailer coal trucks has the additional parameter of gross weight divided by the spacing between the last axle on the tractor and the first axle on the trailer. The algorithm works because the coal semi-trailer is shorter than a normal semi-trailer.  Historical data files have been sorted by highway functional classification to permit calculating EAL requirements on a three-year cycle corresponding to the requirements of the FHWA Traffic Monitoring Guide. The revised computer programs use the same data format contained in historical files. The basic equation for estimating EALs contains the following seven parameters as independent variables; 1) annual average daily traffic volume, 2) average fraction of trucks in the traffic stream, 3) average fraction of coal trucks in the total truck population, 4) average number of axles per coal truck, 5) average number of axles per non-coal truck, 6) average number of equivalent axleloads per coal-truck axle, and 7) average number of equivalent axleloads per non-coal-truck axle.

$ΔB=2$ neutron decay into antiproton mode $n\to \bar pe^+ν(\barν)$

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We discuss the unique baryon number violation by two units neutron decay mode $n\to \bar p e^+χ$, with $χ$ being the standard model (SM) neutrino $ν$ or antineutrino $\barν$ or any beyond SM light fermion, in the framework of effective field theory. This mode is kinematically allowed but rarely discussed theoretically or searched for experimentally. We estimate the lower bound on its partial lifetime from that of the dinucleon decay $np\to e^+χ$ per oxygen nucleus $^{16}$O set by the Super-Kamiokande experiment, with a conservative bound $Γ^{-1}_{n\to\bar pe^+χ}>5.7\times 10^{39}~\rm yrs$. We also discuss its characteristic signature for the future experimental search and astrophysical implications.

title: ‘My Story is An Opening to Another World’: poetic practical theology, lived experiences, and transformation
Creators: name: Radford, Clare Louise
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: practical theology, poetics, creative arts-based methods, collaborative research, poverty, lived experience, marginalisation, austerity, feminist, postcolonial, transformation.

description: In this thesis I critically examine practices of sharing lived experiences for transforming social and political relations. To do so, I construct a poetic approach to practical theology in order to address how creative expressions of everyday lived experiences of marginalisation interrupt and reshape theological practices and public life. This work is based upon my creative, collaborative research with Poverty Truth Commission over several years to examine their practices of sharing lived experience stories in order to address poverty and inequality. Key to the work is a reflexive consideration of my position as a researcher in gathering, interpreting, and representing lived experiences in this thesis. Beginning in the work of Ada María Isasi-Díaz, Rebecca Chopp, and Mayra Rivera, the thesis engages a responsiveness to who and what has been traditionally excluded from theological practices of meaning-making, and to the corporeal, imaginative, and sacred nature of creative practices of sharing lived experiences. I develop these concerns through engaging with critiques of where practical theological research recuperates lived experiences of poverty and marginalisation into broad, general categories and containers. Drawing on poetic approaches I construct a practical theological methodology of passionate, ambivalent making with and through embodied, everyday lived experiences. Examining the claims to transformation in qualitative research methods, I detail the creative qualitative and collaborative research methods used for engaging with Poverty Truth Commission. An outline of this research process and the ethical issues are provided. I present the material gathered in this research through ethnographic and autoethnographic writing reflecting on the development of the creative, collaborative project ‘Connecting Stories’, and also the creative product – an interactive exhibition. The findings from this research highlight the ‘cultures of disbelief and judgement’ at work in the age of austerity in the UK, cultures impacting access to material resources and how people’s stories are heard in public. I argue that by holding open space for particular and plural lived experiences and affirming the meaning-making capacities of marginalised communities, poetic practices can disrupt and reshape these cultures. I draw together this thesis through a series of concluding, interrupting, and transforming moves, reflecting on practices of making theology through ongoing and fragile experiences and offering an understanding of the everyday nature of transformation.

description: The Covid-19 pandemic has spread across the world since the beginning of 2020. Many regions have experienced its effects. The state of South Carolina in the USA has seen cases since early March 2020 and a primary peak in early April 2020. A lockdown was imposed on April 6th but lifting of restrictions started on April 24th. The daily case and death data as reported by NCHS (deaths) via the New York Times GitHUB repository have been analyzed and approaches to modeling of the data are presented. Prediction is also considered and the role of asymptomatic transmission is assessed as a latent unobserved effect. Two different time periods are examined and one step prediction is provided.

description: We investigate the spectral properties of chaotic quantum graphs. We demonstrate that the `energy'--average over the spectrum of individual graphs can be traded for the functional average over a supersymmetric non--linear $σ$--model action. This proves that spectral correlations of individual quantum graphs behave according to the predictions of Wigner--Dyson random matrix theory. We explore the stability of the universal random matrix behavior with regard to perturbations, and discuss the crossover between different types of symmetries.

A thematic study of Lu Xun’s prose poetry collection Wild grass
Creators: name: Li, Tianming
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis is a comprehensive thematic study of the unique prose poetry collection Wild Grass by the famous modern Chinese writer Lu Xun. It provides a general survey of previous Wild Grass studies both in China and abroad in the past 70 years in Chapter 1. The survey clarifies the achievements and defects of those studies, and finds that they are still insufficient and can and should be further expanded. By employing a comprehensive methodology, including close reading, rhetorical analysis, intertextual interpretation, and some standard psychoanalytic insights, the thesis explores the themes of Wild Grass on three different levels. In Chapter 2, on the historical level, the thesis reveals the theme of social and political criticism of the dark reality of mid- 19208 China. In Chapter 3, some Wild Grass poems are interpreted on the philosophical level to show the theme of Lu Xun's meditations on the ego, will to life, and the meaning of human existence. In Chapter 4, the thesis examines some Wild Grass poems on the emotional level to display Lu Xun's dilemma of love and moral responsibilities at a crucial juncture of his life when he contemplated deserting his old-style wife and accepting a young lady's love. Some poems are informed by a strong awareness of repentance, which is essentially an embodiment of Lu Xun's sense of morality and responsibility. In its conclusion, the thesis summarizes the intellectual and artistic values of Wild Grass, deeming it a magnificent book marking a creative peak in Lu Xun's career and an achievement in modern Chinese literature of the twentieth century. Lu Xun's spirit of struggle, awareness of repentance, and subjective emotion and lyricism that are incorporated in Wild Grass have become an important legacy for Chinese literature and the Chinese people. The symbolic and surrealistic features, the expressionistic characterization, the structure of the logical dilemma, and elegant language make Wild Grass a great modern masterpiece.
Inverse design of broadband and lossless topological photonic crystal waveguide modes

description: Topological photonic crystal waveguides can create edge states that may be more robust against fabrication disorder, and can yield propagation modes below the light line. We present a fully three-dimensional method to modify state-of-the-art designs to achieve a significant bandwidth improvement for lossless propagation. Starting from an initial design with a normalized bandwidth of 7.5% (13.4 THz), the modification gives more than 100% bandwidth improvement to 16.2% (28.0 THz). This new design is obtained using automatic differentiation enabled inverse design and a guided mode expansion technique to efficiently calculate the band structure and edge state modes.

On the Spatial Scaling of Seismicity Rate
Creators: name: Molchan, G.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Geophysics (physics.geo-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Scaling analysis of seismicity in the space-time-magnitude domain very often starts from the relation N(m,L)=a(L)*10**(-bm)*L**c for the rate of seismic events of magnitude M>m in an area of size L. There is some evidence in favor of multifractality being present in seismicity. In this case the optimal choice of the scale exponent c is not unique. It is shown how different c's are related to different types of spatial averaging applied to N(m,L) and what are the c's for which the distributions of a(L) best agree for small L. Theoretical analysis is tested using California data.
