description: Topological insulator (TI) is a new class of materials that has a bulk band gap but hosts conducting surface states that are protected topologically. TIs are emerging as a model physical system for potential realization of long sought-after quantum phenomena such as majorana fermions and fault-tolerant quantum computing. Here we propose a comprehensive program to synthesize, characterize, investigate and understand topological insulator materials. The multi-disciplinary team consists of world-leading experts from UCR (PI, Bockrath, Shi), UCSD (Basov, Fogler), UCM (Johnson) and LANL (Balatsky, Crooker, McDonald, Taylor), with combined expertise in material synthesis, nano-fabrication, electronic transport, superconductivity, ultrafast optical spectroscopy, magento-optics, infrared nanoscopy, high magnetic field measurements, density functional calculations and theoretical modeling and simulations. The goals of the program include (1) material improvement, new material prediction and discovery; (2). understanding and controlling dynamics of spin, charge and lattice; (3). understand and control transport and optical properties; (4). theoretical models for transport and optical properties of TI; and (5). demonstration of unique, novel phenomena, such as spin polarized transport, half integer quantum Hall effect, supercurrent and possible Majorana ferminons. The team consists of both world-renowned scientists and young assistant/associate professors, each an established leader in his/her own field, with close existing collaborations. This program will strengthen existing collaborations among the team members and catalyze new partnership between the UC campuses and LANL. Mutual benefits include access to ultra-high magnetic fields for UC scientists, full exchange of ideas, materials and personnel, and training of graduate students for future LANL. The program is well-poised to have a major impact on fundamental understanding and manipulation of TI properties.

description: This dissertation examines the economic characteristics and use diversity of publicly owned single purpose stadiums and multipurpose arenas with a major league professional sports team tenant and multipurpose arenas with a minor league sports team tenant for a one year period.  The purpose of this research is to ascertain whether differences exist and may be driven by categories of facility type (single purpose stadiums and multipurpose arenas) and tenancy (major league or minor league sports team).      Despite a significant body of literature arguing the expenditure of public funds for major league professional sports is not a wise investment, the trend of public subsidization of new and rehabilitated facilities continues. Facilities constructed for minor league sports have not received significant attention.   Comparisons of economic characteristics, such as leakage and facility capital cost, and comparisons of use diversity and civic utilization are performed between single purpose stadiums and multipurpose arenas with major league sports tenants.  These same comparisons were made between multipurpose arenas with a major league tenant and those with a minor league sports team primary tenant. The findings of this reconnaissance comparative planning analysis are that significant differences in economic characteristics and use diversity exist, in particular between multipurpose arenas with a major league tenant and those with a minor league tenant.    This dissertation does not investigate or argue that the investment of public funds into facilities utilized for professional sports is fiscally prudent.  It does, however, find that facilities utilized for professional sports should not be classified as a single category and future research should consider type and tenancy.   Additional detailed longitudinal analyses are warranted and are needed to provide public officials committed to a sports-based economic development strategy with the data needed to make the wisest, least risky investment decisions.

description:
There is a clear need for long-term outcome and safety data amongst participants treated with oral immunotherapy (OIT). A recent meta-analysis of 12 peanut OIT trials showed that peanut OIT versus no OIT increased anaphylaxis risk. Furthermore, a retrospective review of 270 clinical allergy patients undergoing peanut OIT found 28 epinephrine-treated reactions occurring during maintenance therapy, 10 of which were beyond the first 6 months of maintenance therapy. An improved understanding of the net health benefits of OIT is especially critical given the recent Food and Drug Administration approval of Palforzia, which will likely greatly expand the use of peanut OIT.

description: This dissertation provides a fresh examination of black politics in the post-Civil War South by focusing on the careers of six black congressmen after the Civil War: John Mercer Langston of Virginia, James Thomas Rapier of Alabama, Robert Smalls of South Carolina, John Roy Lynch of Mississippi, Josiah Thomas Walls of Florida, and George Henry White of North Carolina. It examines the career trajectories, rhetoric, and policy agendas of these congressmen in order to determine how effectively they represented the wants and needs of the black electorate. The dissertation argues that black congressmen effectively represented and articulated the interests of their constituents. They did so by embracing a policy agenda favoring strong civil rights protections and encompassing a broad vision of economic modernization and expanded access for education. Furthermore, black congressmen embraced their role as national leaders and as spokesmen not only for their congressional districts and states, but for all African Americans throughout the South.          Black political leaders during the postwar Reconstruction years placed particular importance on the significance of black military service during the war and the lasting legacy of emancipation for the newly freed population. Local developments, especially antiblack violence and tumultuous electoral contests, conditioned newly elected black congressmen and shaped the policies that they embraced, whether it was expanded educational opportunities, stronger federal protections for civil rights, or the tactical decision to support amnesty for ex-Confederates. Despite political pressures and frequent intimidation, black congressmen performed their work admirably, particularly during debates over Charles Sumner’s Civil Rights Act of 18&5.           As Reconstruction gave way to Redemption, a fracturing took place within the black political establishment as black leaders and their constituents searched for effective ways to respond to white supremacy, disfranchisement, segregation, and lynching. The two most viable avenues available to them, fusion voting and emigration, were both applied in various settings but were ultimately unable to stave off the loss of black citizenship rights by the century’s end. Nevertheless, black congressmen challenged the barriers of prejudice, paving the way for future black struggles for equality in the twentieth century.

description: Although the need for nuclear power expansion has been recognized, safe and permanent disposal of the resulting used nuclear fuel (UNF) and high-level waste (HLW) in a geological repository is a daunting challenge. Various geologic media have been proposed for permanent deep disposal of UNF/HLW. Salt formation is an attractive geologic medium as it is essentially impermeable, self-sealing, and thermally conductive under repository conditions. However, since there exist small amounts of water (as fluid inclusions and within hydrous minerals) in salt formations and the radioactive decays in UNF/HLW generate high heat outputs, the salt host and its contained water will be heated, causing water liberation and migration. These processes have important effects on salt microstructure, rheological and other properties and thus on the behavior and performance of the salt repository. The aim of this project is to gain fundamental understanding of water migration in salt and its resulted effects via integrated experimental and modeling studies. We propose to employ neutron computed tomography (NCT) technique at UC Davis McClellan Nuclear Research Center and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) at LANL combined with high-temperature (T) high-pressure (P) static and flow-through vessels, which we will design and build in this project, to examine water migration in salt and determine its effects on salt microstructure and rheological properties. Since neutrons are sensitive to hydrogen and other light elements and are also very penetrating, neutron techniques in conjunction with high P-T capabilities are powerful tools for the proposed measurements. The flow-through reaction vessel of NCT will be the first of its kind that will enable in situ brine migration with simultaneous sampling of fluids for chemical and isotopic analysis. These experiments will be complemented by Lattice Boltzmann modeling (a method that has recently been enhanced by LANL scientists) of brine migration and its effects on salt behavior.

description: My dissertation explores the politics of mourning in post-dictatorship Chile from a feminist perspective.  Consequently, it is concerned with the possibilities of remembrance after a political demise: what and how to remember, how to reckon with the dead and the disappeared bodies, is there an ethical approach to the past that will defy the post-dictatorial politics of oblivion?  In order to answer these interrogations I analyze the work of two of the most influential Chilean feminist artists of the past five decades, Cecilia Vicuña and Diamela Eltit, rarely studied in tandem.  My dissertation wishes to contribute to Latin American post-dictatorial and cultural studies by addressing a critical void in the work of memory, that is, a comparative feminist approach that includes other aesthetic practices such as painting, sculpture, and art installations.  On the other hand, my project wishes to contest the critic’s predominant melancholic approach to the work of mourning who conceive of literature as unable to transmit experience and thus as a failure.  I argue that the critics in resourcing to Walter Benjamin’s rhetoric of mourning have performed a reductive reading of his theory of allegory and hence have not offered a possibility of imagining the future otherwise.  If allegory is the privileged figure in times of horror it is allegory which must be reconceived as a critical tool to address the past.  I argue that both Eltit and Vicuña, through their different aesthetic media, re-signify allegory as an interpretative and creative modality to re-enact the work of mourning.  In their search for the disappeared body they unearth a deeper layer of disappearance, the female body, as the biopolitical support to Chilean national history.

description: The production of biofuels from cellulosic feedstocks depends on the deconstruction of insoluble, chemically linked polymers. Ionic liquid (IL) solvents improve the enzymatic digestibility of these feedstocks, but are toxic to enzymes and bacteria used in subsequent biofuel conversion steps. We have found that microbial communities present in industrial organic matter decomposition processes provide a promising source of novel lignocellulose degrading enzymes, biochemical pathways, and organisms. We recently completed high-solids incubations in which thermophilic microbial communities were enriched in the presence of a very effective IL, 1-ethyl-3-methyimidazolium acetate ([C2mim]OAc). An unusual microbial community was established that actively degraded switchgrass at 55oC in the presence of 6% [C2mim]OAc. Pyrosequencing results revealed the dominance of three operational taxonomic units in thermophilic treatments. Our proposed project will support graduate students and post doctoral scholars to study the composition and dynamics of this unique community and its metabolic pathways in unprecedented depth. The community will be subjected to varying concentrations of [C2mim]OAc and the resulting changes in gene expression will be measured, following the methods we used recently to characterize the responses of an environmental bacterium. In our former investigation, the transcriptional profile a IL-resistant bacterium included an increase in transporters embedded in the cell membrane, some of which are used as pumps to remove toxic chemicals from the cell. Using genomic library screening, the IL tolerance in the native bacterium was traced to a single gene encoding an efflux pump. We found that this gene conferred similar IL resistance when transferred to a bacterium lacking the transporter. This exciting finding has motivated us to explore IL tolerance in a low diversity community that performs lignocellulose degradation under thermophilic, high-solids conditions, towards more efficient biofuels production.

description: The development of an effective method of managing used nuclear fuel is the major challenge facing the nuclear industry. One strategy involves actinide recycle for improved nuclear material utilization and waste minimization. This treatment process would benefit from development of novel techniques for actinide separations from other chemical elements. Advances in this field would also be of value to the detection of nuclear materials (nuclear forensics) and environmental remediation at nuclear sites. For these applications the four most important actinides are uranium, neptunium, plutonium and americium. Each can form linear dioxygen cationic species in high chemical oxidation states. The unique steric demands of these actinyl species result in them forming relatively weak complexes with ligand systems that readily coordinate to bare metal cations (e.g. lanthanides). Conversely, actinyl cations form strong complexes with ligands that can wrap around the equatorial plane of the cation. We envisage constructing a two phase system where the actinides are drawn into a solvent containing actinide selective ligands while other metal cations are held back in an aqueous solution containing ligands nonselective for the actinides. We will tie this knowledge to the development of solvent extraction processes for removal of actinides from a wide range of metal cations present in both dissolved spent nuclear fuel and lower activity environmental/forensic samples. For spent nuclear fuel such a separation strategy has the potential for lowering the radioactive half-life of nuclear waste, recycling energy rich actinide radioisotopes and lowering proliferation concerns. For more environmentally relevant samples developing novel methodologies for actinide separation and pre-concentration could greatly speed up analysis. The scientific challenges associated with developing such a process are well suited to a collaboration between academic fundamental research and national lab facilities and expertise.

description: The impact of energy use on climate depends in large part on the response of terrestrial ecosystems that regulate atmospheric CO2 and climate through exchange and storage of carbon and energy. Nitrogen is a dominant regulator of vegetation dynamics and the terrestrial carbon cycle, yet rather simplistic empirical-type models are still used to predict the effect of nitrogen limitation and light competition on vegetation growth. Therefore, a large uncertainty exists in the current simulation of nitrogen related processes (e.g., photosynthesis and soil carbon storage response to nitrogen addition), which substantially affects the reliability of predicted terrestrial carbon fluxes. To reliably assess energy impacts on the global carbon cycle and future climates, we propose to develop, test, and calibrate a next generation carbon-nitrogen dynamics model and integrate this model into the Community Earth System Model (CESM) developed mainly by the National Center of Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and many other universities. Our dynamic carbon-nitrogen model will incorporate recent advances in nitrogen modeling and use recent advances in Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation to rigorously calibrate and evaluate the developed model against observations, including soil fertilization and free air CO2 enrichment (FACE) observations across a range of different forest types. The calibrated model will be used to assess the effects of different energy use scenarios on global climates

description: We propose a highly leveraged, new collaboration between LANL scientists (J. Carlson, V. Cirigliano, A. Friedland, C. Fryer, A. Hayes), UC faculty (G.Fuller UCSD, D. Kasen UCB, W. Haxton UCB, S. Woosley UCSC), and their students and postdocs. We focus on an exciting interdisciplinary topic at the forefront of current research in neutrino physics and nuclear astrophysics. A major component is the exchange of staff and students between the labs and campuses and enabling lab staff to teach specialized courses broadcast to all UC using teleconference facilities at the LANL Institutes/NMC. Our project makes use of expertise in neutrino astrophysics, computational astrophysics, and nucleosynthesis theory at UC. Recent experiments have provided insights into the properties of neutrinos. Using numerical simulation, we will explore the implications of these properties for astrophysical phenomena where neutrinos are important - supernovae, neutron stars, supermassive stars, and the early universe, seeking both an improved understanding of how these phenomena work and additional constraints on neutrino properties. Two problems of special interest are supernovae from massive stars, where the transport of energy out of the collapsing iron core by neutrinos is thought to power the explosion, and merging neutron stars where a similar hot proto-neutron star is created. In both cases, the neutrinos power a wind that may be the site where many of the elements heavier than iron have been made. Calculations will employ the unique facilities at LANL and codes that have been developed both there and at UC to run on massively parallel hardware. While some members of the group have worked together before, they will pool effort and expertise for the first time. Funding would seed a powerful collaboration that could seek additional support from other agencies.

Literature records.
Moalif (1994); Ascher and Pickering (2023).
Remarks.
We have not examined any specimens of this species, but the listing is plausible due to the presence of multiple specimens of A. savignyi in western and southern Iran (Wood and Monfared 2022), and the preference of A. savignyi for dry desert and semi-desert habitats.
Distribution.
West and Central Palaearctic (Wood and Monfared 2022; Ascher and Pickering 2023).

description: Adaptive Optics (AO) is a powerful technology that provides real-time correction of aberrations in an optical system. However, even operating at kHz rates, the delay between sensing and correcting can be a dominant source of error. This entire delay can be fixed by using an algorithm to predict what the AO correction should be. Prediction is particularly effective for high-contrast direct imaging of exoplanets, as the delay error dominates the “dark hole” region where a planet could be found; preliminary estimates indicate prediction might improve the number of detections by 25%. Prediction also has the potential to broaden wide-field astronomical imaging by 30%, through the reduction of tomographic errors, and to enable the fast tracking (< 0.1 deg/sec) of targets at the diffraction limit. Predictive control promises significant gains in system performance and cost for these three regimes. We have developed an algorithm that uses a model of translating turbulence and makes the optimal estimate of the correction that should be applied. We propose a 3-year project at $270k/year to develop predictive control algorithms and to demonstrate performance improvements, focusing on both natural and created translation (i.e. fast tracking). We will demonstrate wind predictive control at UC’s Lick Observatory. We will also develop predictive algorithms for tomographic AO systems using multiple guide stars. This project brings together two outstanding early-career researchers at LLNL to mentor two graduate students at UCSC. We will leverage the unique UC resources, including the Lab for Adaptive Optics’ existing testbed and the new Shane AO system. This collaboration will further strengthen the world-class AO capabilities of LLNL and UCSC at the sunset of the UC Center for Adaptive Optics. Prediction can be particularly powerful for AO on fast-moving targets, and could also be applied to microscopy of living cells or the time evolution of aberrations in a high-powered laser.

High Fidelity Neural Recordings using wireless ECoG arrays

description: In the last ten years, new research in human neurophysiology has demonstrated the utility of high-resolution neural recordings from the cortical surface. Direct brain recording is known as electrocorticography (ECoG) and is typically used for the localization of seizures in patients with intractable epilepsy. The spatial resolution of current clinical arrays is 1 cm; however. Higher density recordings can enable the decoding of information such as motor control signals and even spoken words. High-density ECoG arrays are a critical neural recording technology for translational development of brain-machine-interface because they are inherently safer than current alternatives with penetrating microelectrodes. Furthermore, a wireless ECOG array will eliminate wires across the scalp which are a source of infection and ultimately limit the overall length of the implant. Leveraging their expertise in chronic human neural interfaces, LLNL will lead the team with Dr. Edward Chang at UCSF and Dr. Wentai Liu at UCSC to develop a wireless ECoG array. This wireless ECoG array will be used for acute experiments in human subjects at UCSF under the care of Dr. Chang who has extensive experience in the field. The ECoG array will have 256 electrodes with a diameter of 250 microns and a 500 micron pitch and will leverage LLNL expertise with polymer electrode arrays. The ECoG array will also have an application specific integrated circuit developed by Dr. Liu to record 256 channels of neural signals and transmit wireless power and data. LLNL will package and integrate the ASIC with the polymer ECoG array to form a complete implantable ECoG array.
Rethinking web platform extensibility

description: The modern Web platform provides an extensible architecture that lets third party extensions, often untrusted, enhance and customize the Web browser and the Web applications. While the prevalence of extensions for both browsers and applications has been instrumental in making the Web browser hugely successful, there are two critical issues that the designers of the modern Web platform have not yet tackled in a principled manner. First, both the third party extensions and the extensible components of the Web platform include numerous vulnerabilities, which can compromise the security and privacy of end users. Second, the black-box and opaque nature of the Web platform limits the extent of extensibility achievable for Web developers, thereby hampering the development of novel browser-based user applications.    This dissertation develops new tools and techniques to address the problem of insecure extensibility in the Web platform, proposes novel language and system level solutions to make extensibility a first class primitive for developing Web software, and demonstrates that these methods are applicable to real-world Web applications and Web browser extensions.    Specifically, this dissertation makes the following three contributions. First, it studies and characterizes the problem of insecure JavaScript-based Web browser extensions using a specialized program analysis system, Sabre, which leverages JavaScript-level information flow mechanism to detect violations in client’s confidentiality and integrity arising from execution of untrusted extensions. Second, it formalizes the concept of transactions for JavaScript and implements Transcript, a language runtime system that allows hosting principals, i.e., Web browser and Web applications, to isolate untrusted JavaScript-based extensions using speculative execution. Lastly, this dissertation presents the design and implementation of Atlantis, a novel, extensible browser architecture that allows Web applications to define their own runtime environment and become more secure and robust. Atlantis enables developers with primitives to manage the Web application’s security and privacy, and removes their dependence on opaque, legacy Web interfaces.
