Intrinsic bulk viscosity of the one-component plasma
Creators: name: LeVan, Jarett

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Intrinsic bulk viscosity of the one-component plasma (OCP) is computed and analyzed using equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and the Green-Kubo formalism. It is found that bulk viscosity exhibits a maximum at $Γ\approx 1$, corresponding to the condition that the average kinetic energy of particles equals the potential energy at the average inter-particle spacing. The weakly coupled and strongly coupled limits are analyzed and used to construct a model that captures the full range of coupling strengths simulated: $Γ\approx 10^{-2} - 10^2$. Simulations are also run of the Yukawa one-component plasma (YOCP) in order to understand the impact of electron screening. It is found that electron screening leads to a smaller bulk viscosity due to a reduction in the excess heat capacity of the system. Bulk viscosity is shown to be at least an order of magnitude smaller than shear viscosity in both the OCP and YOCP. The generalized frequency-dependent bulk viscosity coefficient is also analyzed. This is found to exhibit a peak near twice the plasma frequency in strongly coupled conditions, which is associated with the oscillatory decay observed in the bulk viscosity autocorrelation function. The generalized shear and bulk viscosity coefficients are found to have a similar magnitude for $ω\gtrsim 2ω_p$ at strongly coupled conditions.

description: The global demand for unconventional energy sources such as geothermal energy and white hydrogen requires new exploration techniques for precise subsurface structure characterization and potential reservoir identification. The Magnetotelluric (MT) method is crucial for these tasks, providing critical information on the distribution of subsurface electrical resistivity at depths ranging from hundreds to thousands of meters. However, traditional iterative algorithm-based inversion methods require the adjustment of multiple parameters, demanding time-consuming and exhaustive tuning processes to achieve proper cost function minimization. Recent advances have incorporated deep learning algorithms for MT inversion, primarily based on supervised learning, and large labeled datasets are needed for training. This work utilizes TensorFlow operations to create a differentiable forward MT operator, leveraging its automatic differentiation capability. Moreover, instead of solving for the subsurface model directly, as classical algorithms perform, this paper presents a new deep unsupervised inversion algorithm guided by physics to estimate 1D MT models. Instead of using datasets with the observed data and their respective model as labels during training, our method employs a differentiable modeling operator that physically guides the cost function minimization, making the proposed method solely dependent on observed data. Therefore, the optimization algorithm updates the network weights to minimize the data misfit. We test the proposed method with field and synthetic data at different acquisition frequencies, demonstrating that the resistivity models obtained are more accurate than those calculated using other techniques.

description: The Environmental Quality Laboratory at Caltech is a center for research on large scale systems problems of natural resources and environmental quality. The principal areas of investigation at EQL are:

1. Air quality management.

2. Water resources and water quality management.

3. Control of hazardous substances in the environment.

4. Energy policy, including regulation, conservation and
energy-environment trade-offs.

5. Resources policy (other than energy); residuals management.

EQL research includes technical assessments, computer modeling, studies of environmental control options, policy analyses, and research on important components of the large scale systems. Field work is also undertaken at EQL, some in collaboration with other organizations, to provide critical data needed for evaluation of systems concepts and models.

EQL's objectives are as follows:

1. To do systematic studies of environmental and resources problems. The results of these studies, including the clarification of policy alternatives. are communicated to decision-makers in government and industry, to the research community, and to the public. As an organization. EQL refrains from advocating particular policies, but seeks to
point out the implications of the various policy alternatives.

2. To contribute to the education and training of people in these areas through involvement of pre-doctoral students, post-doctoral fellows, and visiting faculty members in EQL activities. This educational effort is just as important as the results of the studies themselves, and should make lasting contributions to the nation's ability to solve its environmental and resources problems.

The work at EQL goes beyond the usual academic research in that it tries to organize and develop the knowledge necessary to clarify society's alternatives by integrating relevant disciplines. EQL works on solving problems of specific localities when there is a strong element of public interest or educational value, or the concepts and results are applicable to other places.

The research of EQL is done under the supervision of faculty members in Environmental Engineering Science, Chemical Engineering, and Social Science.

This research report covers the period from October 1983 through September 1985.

description: A goal for language learners is to function in plural languages according to their own needs and purposes. A bilingual perspective starts from that attainable goal. Learners in Japan tend to idealize L2 mastery or becoming bilingual, so it becomes other people's business. Monolingual teachers tell students by their example, "go where I have not gone," whereas a bilingual teacher says, "come to my state of functioning." This presentation details a paradigm shift from the predominant monolingual second language acquisition (SLA) paradigm to a developmental bilingual perspective.

description: Monothrips Moulton
This genus was based on a single female collected at Rabaul, New Britain. However, the same species, M. flavus, has been found widely across Northern Australia, and a second closely related species is described here from the north of Western Australia. Because of the presence of a few microtrichia laterally on the tergal sculpture lines (Fig. 79), Moulton (1940) suggested a relationship to the Sericothripinae, a suggestion that finds no support from any other character states. This genus shares most character states with Masamithrips, but has the maxillary palps with three segments, and the abdominal sternites with a dentate craspedum on the posterior margins. No male is known in this genus.

Social music is jazz evolved and re-discovered
Creators: name: Harris, Cherise Renée
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: Being twofold, the purpose of this thesis is (1) to determine if and how Social Music may be an evolution of jazz music, while simultaneously being a re-discovery of jazz as it was initially intended to be, especially from a social perspective, and (2) to divulge how Jon Batiste and Stay Human expressively use Social Music to deliver concepts of love, believe, hope, determination, encouragement, and joy to a world that synchronously experiences devastation, tumult, beauty, and promise.  An introspective analysis of Jon Batiste and Stay Human will serve as the explanatory vehicle to ascertain the aforementioned.  Additional introspective analyses of Jon Batiste and Stay Human are included and strongly considered.      As jazz is known as being birthed in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Jonathan Batiste was reared in Kenner, Louisiana – a suburb outside of New Orleans, there is a discussion of Batiste’s thoughts of Congo Square and early jazz in New Orleans, thereby yielding further clarification of my inquiry as to how Social Music may be a re-discovery of jazz as it was initially intended to be.  The introspective analysis includes a brief musical biographical sketch of (a) Jonathan Batiste in New Orleans, Louisiana, (b) Jonathan Batiste and his Trio in New York, (c) Jon Batiste and Stay Human in New York alongside national and global tours, and (d) Jon Batiste and Stay Human as the Bandleader and House Band of CBS’s syndicated The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.  This introspective analysis entails a discussion of my documentation of diverse musical experiences with Jon Batiste and Stay Human.  To capture the inclusiveness of community, there are additional introspective analyses of musical experiences with Jon Batiste and Stay Human, including members from the Stay Human band as well as members from the audience.  There is a discussion of how Jon Batiste and Stay Human have revolutionized the music and social climate of jazz.  As Jon Batiste ultimately seeks to bring people together, there is a discussion of how social music (a) brings people of diverse demographic and socio-economic class together and (b) makes jazz more accessible to the masses, ultimately linking the common thread of humanity.

description: A design framework to implement non-unitary input-output operations to a practical unitary photonic integrated circuit is described. This is achieved by utilising the cosine-sine decomposition to recover the unitarity of the original operation. The recovered unitary operation is decomposed into fundamental unitary building blocks, forming a photonic integrated circuit network based on directional couplers and waveguide phase shifters. The individual building blocks are designed and optimised by three-dimensional full-wave simulations and scaled up using a circuit approach. The paper investigates the scalability and robustness of the design approach. Our study demonstrates that the proposed approach of performing unitary matrix completion can be applied to any arbitrary matrices. This design approach allows for implementation of non-unitary operations to perform various linear functions in neuromorphic photonics for computing, sensing, signal processing and communications.

Female macroptera. Body, legs and antennae yellow, antennal segment VI light brown, also VII–VIII, abdominal segment X and distal half of IX brown; major setae pale; fore wing weakly shaded in basal third, then darker medially with apex pale; compound eyes with 5 pigmented facets. Right antenna of holotype with segments VII–VIII fused; head with anterior margin slightly conical; ocellar setae pair I wide apart, pair III arising between hind margins of posterior ocelli (Fig. 72); maxillary palps 3-segmented. Pronotum posterior margin with 4 pairs of setae, outer posteroangular setae shorter than inner pair. Prosternal basantra granulate, with one pair of setae; fernal plates large with slender median connection (Fig. 74). Metanotal sculpture transverse at anterior, linear on posterior half (Fig. 73). Fore wing first vein with 3 + 2 setae on basal half, 3 widely spaced setae on distal half; second vein with 5 to 7 widely spaced setae; clavus with 4–5 marginal but no discal setae (Fig. 73). Hind tibia with row of stout setae on inner margin. Tergal sculpture weak, particularly medially; I with microtrichia on sculpture lines; II with 4 lateral marginal setae; II–VIII with campaniform sensilla close to posterior margin (Fig. 77); craspedum narrow medially on I, broad on II–VIII, with long prominent teeth on VII–VIII; tergites VI–VIII with prominent microtrichia on 3 or 4 lines of sculpture; IX with 2 pairs of campaniform sensilla, median dorsal setae small and slender. Sternites II–VII with transverse row of 5–9 discal setae medially, craspedum of long teeth on II–VI complete medially, incomplete on VII (Fig. 76).

Year: 1990

description: This research biennial report for 1987-89 covers the activities of both the Environmental Engineering Science program and the Environmental Quality Laboratory for the period October 1987-November 1989. Environmental Engineering Science is the degree-granting academic program housed in the Keck Laboratories, with associated research projects. The Environmental Quality Laboratory is a research center focusing on large scale problems of environmental quality and natural resources. All the faculty and students involved in EQL projects are part of one of the regular academic programs, with the largest number being in Environmental Engineering Science. Hence the convenience of this combined report.

In the lists of students, degrees, and research projects we have included some students in other degree programs who are working on environmental topics under one of the professors associated with EES and/or EQL. Caltech's small size and flexible structure allows professors to participate in more than one academic program including the supervision of doctoral students.

The report starts with brief descriptions of EQL and EES, then lists the people - professors, research staff, visitors and consultants, support staff, and graduate students. Next is a listing of our research sponsors and donors, to whom we are all indebted for making these programs possible. The main part of the report presents the research summaries for all our activities including publications during the period October 1987 - November 1989. Also included at the end of the report is a listing of books published during 1987-89 (which do not appear in the research summaries) and information about a major smog conference held in 1988.

It is hoped this report will be a useful reference not only for prospective students and visitors but also for the entire EES and EQL group.

description: The professional militaries of Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom have increasingly recognized that children can become part of opposing forces and face the operational and policy decisions regarding their detention. These Anglo-Saxon, consolidated, liberal democracies demonstrate a high level of similarity, in terms of their shared norms and values, and common security practices. Nonetheless, these three countries have developed distinct policies on the detention of child soldiers. This dissertation addressed the question: what explains the cross-national variation in the development of policies on the detention of child soldiers in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States?In order to answer this research question, I proposed a series of hypotheses to examine the role of three strategic actors in the policy process: military lawyers, government officials, and representatives from non-governmental organizations. I analyzed data that required both quantitative and qualitative methods to test these hypotheses. Specifically, qualitatively, I performed a content analysis of a total of 69 semi-structured interviews; and, quantitatively, I used NVivo 11 coding query tools to generate numerical data to present aggregate results. These methods allowed for comparing the roles of these three actors in each national context. I utilized the comparative case study method to identify causal patterns across these three countries to offer a second test of these hypotheses.   My dissertation suggested an explanatory relationship between NGOs’ choice of strategies and the policy outcomes in each of these three countries. First, the NGOs’ choice between different types of framing and how to engage in framing contests, during the agenda-setting stage, had far-reaching implications for the policy-making process. It defined the key terms and demarcated boundaries of the issue in a policy domain that abounds with contested elements. Second, the selection of strategies and decision-making venues simultaneously influenced the NGOs’ ability to shape policy outcomes during the policy formulation stage. Third, the application of the strategy of ‘naming and shaming’ during the policy implementation stage remained effective only if the NGOs applied it in combination with other policy instruments, such as the use of domestic litigation. This dissertation hopes to make an empirical contribution to the debate on how policy actors engage and shape outcomes in contested policy domains, which require balancing national security and human rights agendas.

Assessing China’s rise in East Asia
Creators: name: Huang, Wei-Hao
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: In the recent years, we have witnessed a heated debate on China’s rise, peaceful or not, in both media and academia. Xiang, Primiano, and Huang (2015) show sharply growing news in the New York Times and various studies on the rise of China in academic journals. Although without a general agreement in the debate, scholars (e.g., Mearsheimer, 2001; Johnston, 2003; Wang, 2011; Xiang, Primiano, and Huang,  2015) have provided plenty of analyses on how China will rise as a great power in the security dimension after economic reform. For instance, Mearsheimer (2001) argues that great powers will use force to alter the balance of power and thus are “primed for offense”(pp.2-3). This way, “[t]he result would be an intense security competition between China and its rivals, with the ever-present danger of great-power war hanging over them”(p. 4). In contrast, Johnston (2003) disagrees with Mearsheimer and concludes that “the PRC has become more integrated into and more cooperative within international institutions than ever before”(p.49) while comparing China’s behaviors as a status quo player. However, he exempts his conclusion from two issues: domestic social unrest and issues regarding Taiwan. Put differently, it is still  a question of whether China rises peacefully and also depending on the direction of discussions.     As Putnam (1988) noted, the political consideration of domestic factors is an indispensable condition to explain foreign politics. Quek and Johnston’s (2018) on the domestic public opinion and the development of external disputes China involved is an instance. Following this direction, I will introduce the domestic politics to explain puzzles on China’s foreign policy and the reaction of neighbors to the rise of China. These puzzles can be better answered by including considering domestic politics. Furthermore, three research questions from different directions applying considerations of domestic politics to foreign policies will be asked respectively in the following chapters in order to fully address countries’ interactions in East Asia with the rise of China. The first cut is to examine the diversionary theory to China’s external conflicts. What is the mechanism for China to post aggressive behaviors on its neighbors? Next, I will examine how China’s neighbor signals its true intention to China: Taiwan military expenditure as a signal to Mainland China. Last but not least, I will turn to explain China’s rationale for using non-conflict – economic sanctions – behaviors in with its neighbor, including South Korea and Taiwan.

description: Cotton gravity was recently introduced as a higher derivative extension of General Relativity. The field equations of the theory involve the rank-3 Cotton tensor. Here we show that all solutions of the theory, including the black holes, have vanishing conserved charges, i.e. mass and angular momentum. This result implies that either the theory is unphysical since all the black holes carry the charges of the vacuum and can be created at no energy cost, or the theory has confinement of mass/energy and all other conserved quantities.

This species was described from one female, collected from Saccharum at Rabaul, New Britain, and a second female was subsequently recorded from Australia, just south of Darwin (Mound, 2002). It is very similar in structure and colour to M. cuspis described above, apart from the form of the tergal and sternal craspeda (Figs 78, 79). The fore ocellus is usually much smaller than the other two ocelli, and ocellar setae III are about as long as the side of the triangle (Fig. 75).

description: For robots to become more versatile and expand their areas of application, their bodies need to be suitable for contact with the environment. When the human body comes into contact with the environment, it is possible for it to continue to move even if the positional relationship between muscles or the shape of the muscles changes. We have already focused on the effect of geometric deformation of muscles and proposed a drive system called wire-wound Muscle-Tendon Complex (ww-MTC), an extension of the wire drive system. Our previous study using a robot with a two-dimensional configuration demonstrated several advantages: reduced wire loosening, interference, and wear; improved robustness during environmental contact; and a muscular appearance. However, this design had some problems, such as excessive muscle expansion that hindered inter-muscle movement, and confinement to planar motion. In this study, we develop the ww-MTC into a three-dimensional shape. We present a fundamental construction method for a muscle exterior that expands gently and can be contacted over its entire surface. We also apply the three-dimensional ww-MTC to a 2-axis 3-muscle robot, and confirm that the robot can continue to move while adapting to its environment.

description: This study takes an empirical approach to describing the role that personal preferences and beliefs play in a retailer’s location choices particularly when considering an urban market. Rather than assuming that this decision is a process of optimization (Berg, 2014), this study administered a scenario-based questionnaire to both current and potential retailers to see how their market preferences influenced their location choices. Based on a survey of 234 professionals from multiple industries and using several strong control variables, I found that access to public transportation, proximity to restaurants and shops in the surrounding areas, the degree of traffic congestion, and the preferences of multicultural consumers were important factors to retailers considering an urban market for a potential new business location. This study also found a significant relationship between political ideology and the likelihood of a retailer selecting an urban market for his/her new business location.     The results from this research will make a number of important contributions to the fields of retailing, entrepreneurship, and economic development.
Interpreting Purcell Enhancement of Non-Hermitian Metasurfaces with Spectral Parameters

description: The Purcell effect describes the enhancement of the spontaneous emission rate of an emitter near a resonant structure. However, evaluating the Purcell factor quantitatively and empirically is difficult due to the difficulties in measuring the electromagnetic nearfield of an optical resonance for calculation of the exact effective modal volume, especially with non-Hermitian resonators. Therefore, we propose a new analytical approach to circumvent the need to measure the nearfield and predict the Purcell enhancement with spectral parameters, which can be directly measured in farfield or fitted from such spectral measurements. Our proposed model predicts the averaged Purcell enhancement by metasurfaces on a photoluminescent medium, and is verified with experimental measurements and numerical simulations of nanoparticle arrays coupled to a fluorescent thin film. The model directly analyzes the photoluminescence enhancement and extraction efficiency of metasurface, and can be generalized to work with arbitrarily-shaped photoluminescent medium that is coupled to a resonator. This discovery provides a practical and accessible way to understand the underlying mechanisms of photoluminescence enhancement and will facilitate optimization of metasurfaces for efficient extraction of the enhanced luminescence.
