description: This study represents one of the Seismic Evaluation of I-24 Bridges investigative series. The focus is on preliminary seismic evaluation and ranking of bridges according to their seismic vulnerability. Bridges along I-24 are considered in this investigation. The ranking will assist in identifying and prioritizing bridges for secondary evaluation, retrofit measure, or other course of action. The rating system described herein is based on a methodology provided by the FHWA Retrofitting Manual for highway bridges. One hundred and twenty seven (127) highway bridges were evaluated and rated in this process for projected 50-year and 250-year seismic events. The Tennessee River Bridge and the Cumberland River Bridge, also on I-24, are evaluated and presented in separate reports. Furthermore, culverts are excluded from the investigation. Based on this preliminary investigation, bridges along I-24 have ranking from 0 to 38, based on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest), for the 50-year event, and 0 to 48 for the 250-year event. A priority list is presented in this report for bridges that require further seismic evaluation.

The Terwilliger algebra of the twisted Grassmann graph: the thin case

description: The Terwilliger algebra $T(x)$ of a finite connected simple graph $Γ$ with respect to a vertex $x$ is the complex semisimple matrix algebra generated by the adjacency matrix $A$ of $Γ$ and the diagonal matrices $E_i^*(x)=\operatorname{diag}(v_i)$ $(i=0,1,2,\dots)$, where $v_i$ denotes the characteristic vector of the set of vertices at distance $i$ from $x$. The twisted Grassmann graph $\tilde{J}_q(2D+1,D)$ discovered by Van Dam and Koolen in 2005 has two orbits of the automorphism group on its vertex set, and it is known that one of the orbits has the property that $T(x)$ is thin whenever $x$ is chosen from it, i.e., every irreducible $T(x)$-module $W$ satisfies $\dim E_i^*(x)W\leqslant 1$ for all $i$. In this paper, we determine all the irreducible $T(x)$-modules of $\tilde{J}_q(2D+1,D)$ for this "thin" case.

description: Studies connected with the investigations of non-Fermi liquid (NFL) systems continue to attract interest in condensed matter physics community. Understanding the anomalous physical properties exhibited by such systems and its related electronic structures is one of the central research topics in this area. In this context, Ce-based and Ce-site diluted (with non-magnetic ions) compounds provide a fertile playground. Here, we present a detailed study of non-linear DC susceptibility and combined density functional theory plus dynamical mean field theory (DFT+DMFT) on Ce0.24La0.76Ge. Theoretical investigation of 4f partial density of states, local susceptibility and self-energy demonstrates the presence of NFL behavior which is associated with fluctuating local moments. Non-linear DC susceptibility studies on this compound reveal that the transition from NFL state to the new phase is due to development of the bi-quadratic exchange coupling and it obeys the non-linear susceptibility scaling. Under the application of magnetic fields, local moments interact spatially through conduction electrons resulting in magnetic fluctuations. Our studies point to the fact that the origin of the observed bi-quadratic exchange coupling is due to the spatial magnetic fluctuations.

description: The latest Sloan Digital Sky Survey data reveal a prominent bifurcation in the distribution of debris of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal (Sgr) beginning at a right ascension of roughly 190 degrees. Two branches of the stream (A and B) persist at roughly the same heliocentric distance over at least 50 degrees of arc. There is also evidence for a more distant structure (C) well behind the A branch. This paper provides the first explanation for the bifurcation. It is caused by the projection of the young leading (A) and old trailing (B) tidal arms of the Sgr, whilst the old leading arm (C) lies well behind A. This explanation is only possible if the halo is close to spherical, as the angular difference between the branches is a measure of the precession of the orbital plane.

description: The refractive index of a y-cut SiO$_2$ crystal surface is reconstructed from polarization dependent soft X-ray reflectometry measurements in the energy range from 45 eV to 620 eV. Due to the anisotropy of the crystal structure in the (100) and (001) directions, we observe a significant deviation of the measured reflectance at the Si-L$_{2,3}$ and O-K absorption edges. The anisotropy in the optical constants reconstructed from these data is also confirmed by ab initio Bethe-Salpeter Equation calculations of the O-K edge. This new experimental dataset expands the existing literature data for quartz optical constants significantly, particularly in the near-edge regions.

We discuss our results in view of recent experiments in elongated BEC systems.

description: This thesis consists of five musical compositions of diverse styles. Movement, the first composition is written for two pianos and percussions. It is a piece that is chromatic and yet very tonal; at times, some minimalistic tendencies are evident. The second piece, Three English Poems, is a song cycle for a soprano, flute, harp, and cello. The texts are taken from poems of Milton, Crowne, and Falconer. These poems are tied together by the pastoral atmosphere of the music. The third piece, Oremus, is a setting of common prayers of the Roman Catholic Church. In Nomine Paths frames Pater Noster, Ave Maria, and Gloria Path into one whole extended a cappella piece for a double choir. The fourth piece, Variations on Rachmaninoff's 18th Variation on a Theme by Paganini, is written for piano and a tape recorder. The title itself tells much what this piece is all about. The part on the tape recorder is a mixing of MIDI and WAV files produced by Cubase and Roland Audio Tools software. The last piece, Mga Salmo, is a setting of selected passages from the Psalms translated into Pilipino. It is written for sixteen singers who also play some Philippine ethnic instruments. This composition is a fine example of an integration of Western and non-Western elements of music.

description: In this work we develop several new simulation algorithms for 1D many-body quantum mechanical systems combining the Matrix Product State variational ansatz with Taylor, Padé and Arnoldi approximations to the evolution operator. By comparing with previous techniques based on MPS and DMRG we demonstrate that the Arnoldi method is the best one, reaching extremely good accuracy with moderate resources. Finally we apply this algorithm to studying how correlations are transferred from the atomic to the molecular cloud when crossing a Feschbach resonance with two-species hard-core bosons in a 1D optical lattice.

The synoptic and dynamic paradigms of city planning : re-interpreting planning methods through Newtonian physics and chaos theory
Creators: name: Heap, Nicholas Ian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The goal of city planning is the ordering of the city. Modern city planners have adopted a particular paradigm of order, originally developed during the Industrial Revolution when the profession of city planning came into existence. This "synoptic" planning method replaced traditional views of order with a new world-view which stressed a 'scientific' understanding of natural ordering processes. Because the natural ordering processes described by Newtonian physics were the only ones known to Victorian science, city planners have subsequently understood scientifically-valid 'order' to be limited to that produced by "Newtonian systems". The characteristics of Newtonian systems are examined in the thesis, and are related to specific aims and assumptions of synoptic planning as revealed in examples of theory and practice. Since the late 1950's, many practical and theoretical shortcomings of the synoptic planning method have become apparent. While there have been many attempts to reform the practice of synoptic planning, its fundamental reliance upon the axioms of linear dynamical systems has barely been acknowledged, let alone questioned. As a result, none of the reforms suggested in planning methods to date have managed to resolve the profession's current crisis of faith. However, recent scientific discoveries have been made regarding a second type of natural ordering processes, popularly termed "chaos", and referred to as "Lorenzian systems" within the thesis. Given that Lorenzian systems are order-creating processes, and that city planning seeks to promote order, this thesis argues that in addition to "synoptic" planning, there could additionally be a method of "dynamic" planning based upon the characteristics of Lorenzian systems. Consequently, the characteristics of Lorenzian systems are also explored, and their axioms are extrapolated to create a hypothetical method of "dynamic" planning. Independent precedents in planning theory and practice which accord with the aims and assumptions derived for this hypothetical method are employed to demonstrate the plausibility of dynamic planning. Because dynamic planning may well prove similarly ineffective in important areas of city planning, the thesis concludes that dynamic planning should be seen as a useful adjunct to, but not a replacement for, synoptic planning.

Pseudo-chirality: a manifestation of Noether's theorem in non-Hermitian systems

description: Noether's theorem relates constants of motion to the symmetries of the system. Here we investigate a manifestation of Noether's theorem in non-Hermitian systems, where the inner product is defined differently from quantum mechanics. In this framework, a generalized symmetry which we term pseudo-chirality emerges naturally as the counterpart of symmetries defined by a commutation relation in quantum mechanics. Using this observation, we reveal previously unidentified constants of motion in non-Hermitian systems with parity-time and chiral symmetries. We further elaborate the disparate implications of pseudo-chirality induced constant of motion: It signals the pair excitation of a generalized "particle" and the corresponding "hole" but vanishes universally when the pseudo-chiral operator is anti-symmetric. This disparity, when manifested in a non-Hermitian topological lattice with the Landau gauge, depends on whether the lattice size is even or odd. We further discuss previously unidentified symmetries of this non-Hermitian topological system, and we reveal how its constant of motion due to pseudo-chirality can be used as an indicator of whether a pure chiral edge state is excited.

Superconducting TiN films grown by directional reactive evaporation

description: We report a novel method of growing strongly-disordered superconducting titanium nitride (TiN) thin films by reactive electron-beam deposition. The normal state sheet resistance and superconducting critical temperature (Tc) can be tuned by controlling the deposition pressure in the range of 1.1*10^-6 to 3.1*10^-5 mbar} and film thickness d from 10nm to 300nm. For 10nm thick films, the sheet resistance reaches 1361 Ω/\square and T_c = 0.77K, which translates into an estimate for the sheet inductance as large as L_\square = 2.4nH/\square. Benefiting from the directionality of reactive evaporation, we fabricated RF test devices with micron-sized dimensions using a resist mask and a lift-off process, which would be impossible with sputtering or atomic layer deposition methods. The spectroscopic measurements result in consistent sheet inductance values in two different device geometries and the quality factors ranged from Q = 300-2200. The loss is likely due to the presence of titanium oxynitride in the morphological composition of our films. The flexibility of the lift-off process suggest applications of reactively-evaporated TiN for making supporting structures around quantum circuits, such as readout resonators or compact on-chip filters.

description: This report presents the seismic evaluation of the approaches and parallel bridges on I-24 crossing the Tennessee River between Marshall and Livingston counties in Western Kentucky. The main bridges are steel tied-arch bridges. The bridges are situated within the influence of the New Madrid Seismic Zone. The seismic evaluation program consisted of field testing, 3-dimensional finite element modeling and seismic response analysis. The dynamic properties of the main bridges are determined through field testing, and are used to calibrate the finite element models. The finite element model is then subjected to time histories of the 250-year and 500-year earthquake events. Stresses and displacements for these events are found to be within the acceptable limits. Analytical results indicate that the main bridge will withstand the 250-year and 500-year earthquakes without any significant damage and no loss-of-span. The supports with fixed bearings on the pier of the main bridge need to be retrofitted for the 500-year earthquake event. The approach spans are analyzed using the response spectrum method with simplified single-degree-of-freedom models. Some supports on the approach spans are found to be vulnerable to shear failure of anchor bolts under the 250-year earthquake. All supports on the piers of the approach spans need to be retrofitted for the 500-year earthquake event. Additional anchor bolts or other retrofit measures at the bearings are recommended.

description: We propose and demonstrate a method for measuring the time evolution of the off-diagonal elements $ρ_{n,n+k}(t)$ of the reduced density matrix obtained from the quantum theory of the laser. The decay rates of the off-diagonal matrix element $ρ_{n,n+k}(t)$ (k=2,3) are measured for the first time and compared with that of $ρ_{n,n+1}(t)$, which corresponds to the linewidth of the laser. The experimental results agree with the quantum theory of the laser.

description: This study represents one of the Seismic Evaluation of I-24 Bridges investigative series. The focus is on slope or embankment stability and liquefaction potential of embankments of bridges along I-24 in Western Kentucky. A rating system is derived to assist in identifying and prioritizing bridge embankments that are susceptible to failure during to projected seismic events. Embankments of one hundred and twenty seven (127) bridges along I-24 in Western Kentucky are evaluated for 50-year and 250-year seismic events. Fifty-two (52) of the 127 embankments were rated as ‘critical’ for the 50-year event, and 60 were rated as ‘critical’ for the 250-year event. Based on this preliminary evaluation, it is recommended that the bridge embankments classified as ‘critical’ be further investigated by performing more detailed analysis.

description: We investigate the impact on cosmological observables of $f(Q)$-gravity, a specific class of modified gravity models in which gravity is described by the non-metricity scalar, $Q$. In particular we focus on a specific model which is indistinguishable from the $Λ$-cold-dark-matter ($Λ$CDM) model at the background level, while showing peculiar and measurable signatures at linear perturbation level. These are attributed to a time-dependent Planck mass and are regulated by a single dimensionless parameter, $α$. In comparison to the $Λ$CDM model, we find for positive values of $α$ a suppressed matter power spectrum and lensing effect on the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB) angular power spectrum and an enhanced integrated-Sachs-Wolfe tail of CMB temperature anisotropies. The opposite behaviors are present when the $α$ parameter is negative. We also investigate the modified Gravitational Waves (GWs) propagation and show the prediction of the GWs luminosity distance compared to the standard electromagnetic one. Finally, we infer the accuracy on the free parameter of the model with standard sirens at future GWs detectors.

description: We generalize Starobinskii's stochastic technique to the theory of a massless, minimally coupled scalar interacting with a massless fermion in a locally de Sitter geometry. The scalar is an ``active'' field that can engender infrared logarithms. The fermion is a ``passive'' field that cannot cause infrared logarithms but which can carry them, and which can also induce new interactions between the active fields. The procedure for dealing with passive fields is to integrate them out, then stochastically simplify the resulting effective action following Starobinski\uı. Because Yukawa theory is quadratic in the fermion this can be done explicitly using the classic solution of Candelas and Raine. We check the resulting stochastic formulation against an explicit two loop computation. We also derive a nonperturbative, leading log result for the stress tensor. Because the scalar effective potential induced by fermions is unbounded below, back-reaction from this model might dynamically cancel an arbitrarily large cosmological constant.

description: The aim was to assess the microbes that cause infections in the oral and maxillofacial regions and to analyze the antibiotics that are used to treat these infections in terms of their sensitivity and resistance. The objectives of the study were to look into the microbes linked to infections in odontogenic space, to understand the frequency of involvement of fascial spaces in infections of the maxillofacial region, to evaluate the selection and effectiveness of different antibiotics and to evaluate the resistance to antibiotics. Patients were chosen for this prospective, longitudinal, observational trial using a simple randomization sampling method. There were fifty patients with fascial infections in the odontogenic area. According to the results of this prospective research, the most often affected areas were the buccal and submandibular spaces. The most potent combination of antibiotics for treating odontogenic infections caused by anaerobic micro-organisms and Streptococcus is amoxiclav with metronidazole. The combination of piperacillin and tazobactam, a beta lactamase inhibitor that has broad-spectrum antimicrobial action against the majority of aerobic and anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Before beginning the empirical antibiotic medication, a pus sample was taken. Antibiotic sensitivity testing and culture were performed on the material. And the empirical antibiotic regimen was initiated. For the full coverage of both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms in odontogenic infections, ciprofloxacin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, and clindamycin were advised in combination with metronidazole. and after the results were known, the final course of antibiotic treatment was administered.

description: This study was initiated to develop guidelines for maintenance erosion control measures for steep slopes. The study focused on evaluating and monitoring KY-31 fescue germination rates using two media treatments 1) 100 percent by weight compost and 2) 70 percent compost with 30 percent soil) with different seeding rates on a pilot project to establish vegetation on slopes with grades of 3:1 or steeper.  The pilot program demonstrated that weed infestation and erosion problems on slopes can be minimized by use of properly formulated compost with sufficient seed. It also showed that the seeding rate of 1 lb/1,000 ft2 slope area currently employed by KYTC for erosion control was not sufficient for the steeper slopes.

description: Quality control and quality assurance in the highway industry is going through a cultural shift. There is a growing trend toward using the contractor data for acceptance and payment purposes. This has led to serious concerns about conflicts of interests. The question remains: are there adequate safeguards in place? To address these concerns, a number of asphalt and concrete QC/QA projects in Kentucky were examined and statistical analyses were conducted. This report presents a summary of findings and recommendations. Generally speaking, the Kentucky experience revealed that the QC/QA system is working well, and the agency’s random inspection data when compared to the contractor reported QC data showed similar trends. However, it is critical for the verification regime to be truly independent.

description: Coinfection is the process by which a host that is infected with a pathogen becomes infected by a second pathogen at a later point in time. An immunosuppressant host response to a primary disease can facilitate spreading of a subsequent emergent pathogen among the population. Social contact patterns within the substrate populace can be modelled using complex networks and it has been shown that contact patterns vastly influence the emergent disease dynamics. In this paper, we consider the effect of contact clustering on the coinfection dynamics of two pathogens spreading over a network. We use the generating function formulation to describe the expected outbreak sizes of each pathogen and numerically study the threshold criteria that permit the coexistence of each strain among the network. We find that the effects of clustering on the levels of coinfection are governed by the details of the contact topology.

description: We present two phenomenological models for 2D turbulence in which the energy spectrum obeys a nonlinear fourth-order and a second-order differential equations respectively. Both equations respect the scaling properties of the original Navier-Stokes equations and it has both the -5/3 inverse-cascade and t -3 direct-cascade spectra. In addition, the fourth order equation has Raleigh-Jeans thermodynamic distributions, as exact steady state solutions. We use the fourth-order model to derive a relation between the direct-cascade and the inverse-cascade Kolmogorov constants which is in a good qualitative agreement with the laboratory and numerical experiments. We obtain a steady state solution where both the enstrophy and the energy cascades are present simultaneously and we discuss it in context of the Nastrom-Gage spectrum observed in atmospheric turbulence. We also consider the effect of the bottom friction onto the cascade solutions, and show that it leads to an additional decrease and finite-wavenumber cutoffs of the respective cascade spectra.

Reinforcement of stickleback mate preferences : sympatry breeds contempt
Creators: name: Rundle, Howard Douglas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Detailed studies of reproductive isolation and how it varies among populations can provide valuable insight into fundamental questions concerning mechanisms of speciation. Here I investigate how the strength of prezygotic isolation varies between sympatric and allopatric populations of threespine sticklebacks to test a prediction of the hypothesis of reinforcement: that female mate preferences should be stronger in sympatry than allopatry. Ecological character displacement between sympatric species may cause significant divergence in phenotypes which might strengthen prezygotic isolation as a by-product of these changes. I control for ecological character displacement by comparing mate preferences of sympatric females (Benthics) with mate preferences of allopatric females that closely resemble the sympatric Benthic females in ecology and morphology. No-choice mating trials indicate that sympatric Benthic females mate less readily with heterospecific (Limnetic) than conspecific (Benthic) males, whereas two different populations of allopatric females resembling Benthics show no such discrimination. These differences demonstrate reproductive character displacement of mate preferences of Benthic females. Previous studies have established that hybridization between sympatric species has occurred in the past in the wild and that hybrid offspring have lower fitness than either parental species. This provides the conditions under which natural selection would favour individuals that do not hybridize. The results are therefore consistent with the hypothesis that female mate preferences have evolved as a response to selection against hybridization (reinforcement), although direct effects of sympatry or a biased extinction process could also produce the pattern. Males of the other sympatric species (Limnetics) showed a preference for smaller females, in contrast to the inferred ancestral preference for larger females. This suggests that reproductive character displacement of mate preferences has occurred in Limnetic males as well.
Censorship and Digital Defiance in Higher Education: Exploring Barriers to Studying Degrees in China's Joint Venture International Universities

description: Student expression and access to knowledge within China's Higher Education (HE) system is explored in this article. It considers if censorship and authoritarianism drive academic digital piracy. Exploring the rise of joint venture universities in China, whose curriculums are often directed by western influence, literature and pedagogy, the article raises critical questions about the impact of censorship on student experience. To forge answers to these questions, it presents the views of Chinese postgraduate students engaged in learning at a UK joint venture university in China, who revealed they perceived piracy as necessary to promote academic progress and overcome censorship. The article concludes, therefore, by suggesting digital piracy has become part of the fabric of university learning and teaching, which is catalysed in settings where censorship creates intellectual resource scarcity, widening the gap. Hence, the study demonstrates disadvantage and inequalities faced by international students, such as those in China, who are engaged in curriculums designed by universities in the UK, which has different ideas surrounding freedom of academic expression.

description: The Euler characteristic of a finite category is defined and shown to be compatible with Euler characteristics of other types of object, including orbifolds. A formula for the cardinality of the colimit of a diagram of sets is proved, generalizing the classical inclusion-exclusion formula. Both rest on a generalization of Mobius-Rota inversion from posets to categories.

description: Using field-emission resonance spectroscopy with an ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscope, we reveal Stark-shifted image-potential states of the v_1/6 and v_1/5 borophene polymorphs on Ag(111) with long lifetimes, suggesting high borophene lattice and interface quality. These image-potential states allow the local work function and interfacial charge transfer of borophene to be probed at the nanoscale and test the widely employed self-doping model of borophene. Supported by apparent barrier height measurements and density functional theory calculations, electron transfer doping occurs for both borophene phases from the Ag(111) substrate. In contradiction with the self-doping model, a higher electron transfer doping level occurs for denser v_1/6 borophene compared to v_1/5 borophene, thus revealing the importance of substrate effects on borophene electron transfer.
