title: Developing Firmware for Space Weather Probes 2 Using HDL Coder
Creators: name: Wallace, Nicholas L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2023

description: GPS and wireless communications are affected by interference from the ionosphere. Space weather affects plasma in the ionosphere, causing communication disruptions and reliability issues. To better understand how space weather affects the ionosphere, instruments are flown in space to collect data about the electrical characteristics of plasma in the ionosphere. Space systems require a lot of time and effort to develop and test. This thesis explores how a high level tool can be used to simplify the process and some obstacles that still exist with developing some space systems. To do this, the firmware architecture of a new version of the Space Weather Probes (SWP) was developed and documented in this thesis.

description: We present a new method to constrain the dark matter halo density profiles of disk galaxies. Our algorithm employs a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach to explore the parameter space of a general family of dark matter profiles. We improve upon previous analyses by considering a wider range of halo profiles and by explicitly identifying cases in which the data are insufficient to break the degeneracies between the model parameters. We demonstrate the robustness of our algorithm using artificial data sets and show that reliable estimates of the halo density profile can be obtained from data of comparable quality to those currently available for low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. We present our results in terms of physical quantities which are constrained by the data, and find that the logarithmic slope of the halo density profile at the radius of the innermost data point of a measured rotation curve can be strongly constrained in LSB ([Vstar/Vobs]max ~ 0.16) galaxies. High surface brightness galaxies ([Vstar/Vobs]max ~ 0.79) require additional information on the mass-to-light ratio of the stellar population - our approach naturally identifies those galaxies for which this is necessary. We apply our method to observed data for the dwarf irregular galaxy DDO 154 and recover a logarithmic halo slope of -0.39 +- 0.11 at a radius of 0.14 kpc. Our analysis validates earlier estimates which were based on the fitting of a limited set of individual halo models, but constitutes a more robust constraint than was possible using other techniques since it marginalises over a wide range of halo profiles.

Geomorphology of a Portion of the Easternmost Ventura Basin
Creators: name: Shoemaker, Eugene Merle
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1948
Subjects: subject: Geology
subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: The Humphreys Quadrangle is a portion of the easternmost Ventura Basin underlain by a thick series of Tertiary sedimentary rocks. On these rocks a great variety of geomorphic forms have been molded by the processes of running water typical of a semi-arid climate and by several types of mass movement. Among the different categories of mass movement present, a new type, the siltflow, was observed.
The geomorphic forms of special interest present in the quadrangle are rock cones, open canyonheads, asymmetric canyons, and stream terraces and straths. The author urges the adoption of the definition of strath as that part of an old dissected valley floor, including the floors of tributary valleys, which was not part of the floodplain of the main valley stream.
An old erosion surface, the Puckett Mesa Surface, is present in the Humphreys Quadrangle which is correlative with certain of the older stream terraces. By correlating the variation of gradient and of fill of the stream terraces with post –Wisconsin climatic fluctuations the age of the Puckett Mesa Surface is set at approximately 6000 B.C.  This correlation sets the probable age of the older Rancho La Brea deposits at  6000 to 8000 B. C. and the probable age of the Carpenteria brea deposits at 1000 to 1 B. C.
Interior Models of Saturn: Including the Uncertainties in Shape and Rotation

description: The accurate determination of Saturn's gravitational coefficients by Cassini could provide tighter constrains on Saturn's internal structure. Also, occultation measurements provide important information on the planetary shape which is often not considered in structure models. In this paper we explore how wind velocities and internal rotation affect the planetary shape and the constraints on Saturn's interior. We show that within the geodetic approach (Lindal et al., 1985, ApJ, 90, 1136) the derived physical shape is insensitive to the assumed deep rotation. Saturn's re-derived equatorial and polar radii at 100 mbar are found to be 54,445 $\pm$10 km and 60,365$\pm$10 km, respectively. To determine Saturn's interior we use {\it 1 D} three-layer hydrostatic structure models, and present two approaches to include the constraints on the shape. These approaches, however, result in only small differences in Saturn's derived composition. The uncertainty in Saturn's rotation period is more significant: with Voyager's 10h39mns period, the derived mass of heavy elements in the envelope is 0-7 M$_{\oplus}$. With a rotation period of 10h32mns, this value becomes $<4$ $M_{\oplus}$, below the minimum mass inferred from spectroscopic measurements. Saturn's core mass is found to depend strongly on the pressure at which helium phase separation occurs, and is estimated to be 5-20 M$_{\oplus}$. Lower core masses are possible if the separation occurs deeper than 4 Mbars. We suggest that the analysis of Cassini's radio occultation measurements is crucial to test shape models and could lead to constraints on Saturn's rotation profile and departures from hydrostatic equilibrium.

Reinforcement and supervised learning for combinatorial problems in electronics design automation

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: subject: Mechanical Engineering
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software automates the IC design process and increases the design efficiency and capabilities. With the scaling of semiconductor technologies, the importance of EDA has rapidly increased. At the heart of most EDA design problems are combinatorial optimization problems, which are usually solved with heuristics, or analytical method in classical methods. Owing to the increasing difficulties of the EDA problems and demand for EDA tools designing increasingly complicated electronic systems, classical EDA algorithms are struggling to keep up with the ever more challenging EDA design tasks. Thus, better and more efficient EDA solutions are urgently needed to address the challenge. In recent years, there have been some major development in the field of machine learning, especially in (deep) reinforcement learning. Recent success of reinforcement learning has been demonstrated in fields including robotics, games as well as combinatorial optimization problems. This motivates us to explore the possibility of applying machine learning specifically reinforcement learning to come up with better EDA algorithms.In this research, we propose new algorithms to solve combinatorial problems in EDA based on reinforcement learning and supervised learning. To achieve this, we identified two research objectives. The first one is to developing reinforcement learning algorithms for solving EDA routing problems that performs better and more efficient than the current EDA routing solutions. Under this research objective, we propose three technical goals: (1) DQN Global Routing that solves global routing with Deep Q-learning; (2) Attention Routing that solves detailed routing with attention-based reinforcement learning; (3) Spectral DQN Routing that solves generic EDA routing and obstacle avoiding routing with combination of DQN and spectral method. Our proposed RL-based routing solutions provide better and more efficient alternatives compared with existing routing solutions.
 The second research objective is to develop machine-learning-based algorithm for automatic 2D space partitioning generation with island minimization objective. To achieve this, we propose the GOMLP algorithm that solves the power plane generation with supervised learning. The power plane generation, as an instance of space partitioning generation with island minimization objective has no readily available algorithms to solve. Our proposed method is the first successful attempt in developing automatic power plane generation algorithms by leveraging supervised learning. We also extend the GOMLP to solve multilayer power plane generation problems with the H-GOMLP that combines GOMLP with hierarchical clustering method.

description: The extreme characteristics of long wave run-up are studied in this paper. First we give a brief overview of the existing theory which is mainly based on the hodograph transformation (Carrier & Greenspan, 1958). Then, using numerical simulations, we build on the work of Stefanakis et al. (2011) for an infinite sloping beach and we find that resonant run-up amplification of monochromatic waves is robust to spectral perturbations of the incoming wave and resonant regimes do exist for certain values of the frequency. In the setting of a finite beach attached to a constant depth region, resonance can only be observed when the incoming wavelength is larger than the distance from the undisturbed shoreline to the seaward boundary. Wavefront steepness is also found to play a role in wave run-up, with steeper waves reaching higher run-up values.

Subjects: subject: Mechanical Engineering
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: Gaseous nitrogen and argon were injected into a primary stream of air moving at Mach 2.56.  The gases were injected at secondary to primary total pressure ratios from 3.2 to 28.6 through four different nozzles.  Two nozzles, one sonic and one supersonic (M = 3.26), injected normal to the primary stream; and two sonic nozzles injected at 45° angles to the primary flow, one injecting upstream and the other downstream.  Data consisted of static pressure measurements on the wall near the injector, total pressure profiles in the wake of the injectant plume, and concentration measurements downstream of the flow.  Scale parameters were calculated based upon an analytical model of the flow field and their validity verified by experimental results.  These scale heights were used to compare normalized wall side forces for the different nozzles and to compare the mixing of the two streams.

description: The purpose of this research study was to create an initial rubric to evaluate social studies lesson plans prior to their addition to Montana Office of Public Instruction’s online repository for Indian Education for All (IEFA) curriculum. In the first phase of this study, I examined Montana’s IEFA curriculum thematically to gain a better understanding of how Indigenous histories and perspectives are being represented using combined theoretical lenses of Tribal Critical Race Theory and culturally sustaining/ revitalizing pedagogy. In the second phase of this study, I used my thematic findings to inform the design of a theory-informed evaluative rubric. The findings from this line of research have implications for equity and inclusion in K-12 education as well as how educators and scholars think about evaluating Indigenous education curriculum.
The minimum kinetic energy orbital and the band structure of sodium
Creators: name: Surratt, Grover Timothy
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1971
Subjects: Chemistry

description: For calculations on molecules and solids it has proven
useful to replace the various core electrons with a pseudo-potential. The most common method for doing this, that of
Phillips andKleinman, suffers from the disadvantage that
the pseudopotential obtained is not unique. It has previously
been shown, however, th t the non-uniqueness problem can be
resolved by the use of ab-initio GI orbitals as the basis
for the potential. Such potentials have proven quite
satisfactory in replacing the core electrons in molecular and
solid-state calculations. Unfortunately, systems of ten or
more electrons are not accessible to GI, so that the approach
cannot be used for sodium, for example.

   We have examined the GI orbitals and effective potentials
for Li, Be+, B++ and compared these orbitals and potentials
with those obtained from the usual Hartree-Fock formalism,
but employing an extra condition on the orbitals to ensure
uniqueness. It was found that a condition suggested (but
apparently never tried) by Cohen and Heine, that the Hartree-Fock core orbitals be allowed to mix with the valence
orbital in such a way as to minimize the kinetic energy,
produced orbitals and potentials nearly identical to those
from the GI method.

   We then employed this method to obtain local potentials
for the ^2S, ^2P and ^2D states of sodium.. These potentials
were found to reproduce the spectrum of sodium quite well.
These potentials were then used to study the energy levels
of sodium metal at the high symmetry points in the Brillouin
zone, employing the GI band structure formalism.

description: We report on high angular resolution observations of the CO(7-6) line and millimeter continuum in the host galaxy of the gravitationally lensed (z~2.8) quasar RXJ0911.4+0551 using the Plateau de Bure Interferometer. Our CO observations resolve the molecular disk of the source. Using a lens model based on HST observations we fit source models to the observed visibilities. We estimate a molecular disk radius of 1$\pm$0.2 kpc and an inclination of 69$\pm$6°, the continuum is more compact and is only marginally resolved by our observations. The relatively low molecular gas mass, $Mgas=(2.3\pm 0.5)\times 10^{9}$ Msolar, and far infrared luminosity, $LFIR=(7.2\pm 1.5) \times 10^{11}$ Lsolar, of this quasar could be explained by its relatively low dynamical mass, $Mdyn=(3.9\pm 0.9)\times 10^9$ Msolar. It would be a scaled-down version the QSOs usually found at high-z. The FIR and CO luminosities lie on the correlation found for QSOs from low to high redshifts and the gas-to-dust ratio ($45\pm 17$) is similar to the one measured in the z=6.4 QSO, SDSS J1148+5251. Differential magnification affects the continuum-to-line luminosity ratio, the line profile and possibly the spectral energy distribution.

description: We study the accelerating cosmology in massive $F(R)$ bigravity via the reconstruction scheme. The consistent solution of the FRW equations is presented: it includes Big and Little Rip, quintessence, de Sitter and decelerating universes described by the physical $g$ metric while the corresponding solution of the universe described by the reference $f$ metric is also found. It is demonstrated that in general the cosmological singularities of $g$ metric are not always manifested as cosmological singularities of the reference $f$ metric. We give two consistent ways to describe the Big and Little Rip, quintessence, de Sitter and decelerating universes. In one of the consistent solutions, the two metrics $g$ and $f$ coincide with each other, which may indicate the connection with the convenient single metric background formulation. For another solution, where two metrics $g$ and $f$ do not coincide with each other, here always appears super-luminal mode.

title: Evaluating the Effects of a Teacher-Implemented Mindfulness-Based Intervention on Teacher Stress and Student Prosocial Behavior
Creators: name: Phan, Mary L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2023

description: High levels of teacher stress have a negative impact on teacher performance, maintenance, and student outcomes. Given the escalation in teacher stress levels, it is important to decrease teacher stress to improve their wellbeing. One intervention that has received growing attention in reducing teacher stress is mindfulness training. However, few studies have focused on teachers implementing mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) both with themselves and with school-age children within their classrooms. Additionally, few studies have examined the fidelity, feasibility, and social validity of teacher-implemented MBIs in a classroom setting. Through a single-case multiple baseline design across four teachers, the current study evaluated the effects of an MBI consisting of self-practice and classroom-based implementation on teacher stress and students’ classroom behavior. The study also explored implementation fidelity and whether cultural adaptations to this MBI were socially valid for teachers. Results indicated that the MBI seemed to decrease teacher stress for 2 of the 4 teachers and improved coping abilities for 2 of 4 teachers. In addition, the MBI had small yet desirable effects on students’ academic engagement, respectful behavior, and disruptive behavior in the classroom. Teacher reports suggest that MBI self-practice and classroom-based implementation were conducted with high fidelity and had strong socially validity. Results have practical implications for informing future research related to using MBI to reduce teacher stress and improve students’ classroom behavior.

description: We use bosonization and renormalization group methods to determine the ground state phase diagram of a one-dimensional frustrated Kondo-Heisenberg system consisting of a one-dimensional spin-1/2 Luttinger liquid coupled by a Kondo exchange interaction $J_K$ to a frustrated quantum antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain, with a nearest-neighbor exchange coupling $J_1$ and a next-nearest-neighbor (frustrating) exchange interaction $J_2$. We analyze the interplay of quantum frustration in the antiferromagnetic chain with the Kondo exchange coupling $J_K$ with the Luttinger liquid. We discuss the structure of the phase diagram of this system as a function of the ratios $J_K/J_1$, $J_2/J_1$ and of the parameters of the Luttinger liquid. In particular we discuss in detail the regimes in which a pair-density-wave state may be realized and its relation with the spin correlations in the frustrated antiferromagnetic chain.

Data-driven Analysis of Engineering Drawings Using Component-based Graphs

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Mechanical Engineering

description: Engineering technical drawings serve as a universal medium for information exchange between part designers and manufacturers. Despite the ease of direct digital access when using vector drawings, raster drawings are still preferred for sharing in the current industrial settings, which results in a major impediment in the automation of the extensive part indexing, cost estimation, and process planning due to the need of human involvement in interpreting these drawings. This work designs a data-driven pipeline to systematically address two major challenges when automatically interpreting raster part drawings: (1) The shortage of labeled data for training, (2) The difficulty in interpreting semantic information from sparse man-made images. To generate more training data, a data augmentation method based on dimension set randomization is introduced to synthetically generate an arbitrarily large dataset given only a corpus of existing examples. Two major constraints for synthesis are proposed to ensure the validity of the synthetic drawings. An evaluation of several image segmentation methods trained on our synthetic dataset shows that our approach to new data generation can boost the segmentation accuracy and the generalizability of the machine learning models to unseen drawings. Additionally, a data-driven framework is proposed to effectively vectorize the drawings and interpret the semantic meaning at the component level. Taking a raster drawing as input, vectorized components can be obtained through thinning, stroke tracing, and curve fitting, which then forms a graph structure embedded with topological and contextual information. Finally, a deep-learning graph convolutional network is introduced to learn such graph data and predict the semantic type of each component. Results show that our method yields the best performance compared to the recent image-based, and graph-based segmentation methods.

description: This thesis is to be considered a continuation of the material presented in the paper by Dr. C. B. Millikan, "The Influence of Running Propellers on Airplane Characteristics", [ref. 1] and of the work done in the thesis [ref. 2] by Mr. S. E. Belsley on the same subject. In reference 1 Dr. Millikan has derived expressions for the prediction of the power-on effects, dependent upon empirical expressions for the power-on downwash at the tail, and the tail efficiency in the slipstream. In reference 2 Mr. Belsley has put these same expressions in forms which permit experimental determination of the two empirical factors dealing with downwash and tail efficiency power-on. It is in part the purpose of this thesis to present numerical results for these factors, determined empirically from tests run at the Galcit* 10' wind tunnel on five different airplanes. In addition there is presented a discussion of the effects on pitching moment of various rotational configurations for twin-engine mono-planes including the effects on the tail removed configuration. There has appeared in power model testing of multi-engined airplanes the existence of favorable rotational configurations giving better power-on stability than the other possible rotations. As a consequence two of the five airplanes were tested for three different rotational configurations. The experimental data have been reduced in a manner that demonstrates clearly the effect of rotation alone on pitching moment. Unfortunately, similar data could not be obtained on the other airplanes, due to the limited time available for research at the Galcit tunnel.

description: Modeling the phase behavior of substances using thermodynamic equations of state (EOS) is a vital area of research, as it is a quick and inexpensive way of predicting the phase properties at desired conditions. Prior optimization techniques used for parameterization of pure components are methods that converge at a local minimum. The minimum found and ultimately used to predict pure component and mixture properties can have a very large impact on the quality of the resulting predictions. This work attempts to characterize and maximize the predictive power of complex thermodynamic equations of state (here, SAFT-VR EOS) by mitigating spurious conclusions that are based on results from local minimization schemes and, thus, allow for more definitive conclusions on the properties of systems in the absence of experimental data. To this end. this work employs the global terrain methodology [Lucia, A.; Feng, Y. (2002), Global terrain methods, Computers and Chemical Engineering, 26, 529-546]– an advanced global optimization technique and applies it to the field of thermodynamic modeling. The terrain methodology was used to perform the parameterization to obtain multiple pure component parameter sets for a series of alkanes (C1 -C10 ) and hydrofluorocarbons. The effects of using multiple sets of parameters in predicting the mixture phase behavior are investigated in this work. Through this work, parameter rules were developed that will allow for the optimal prediction of pure component properties.

description: Up to the present, the wave union method can achieve the best timing performance in FPGA based TDC designs. However, it should be guaranteed in such a structure that the non-thermometer code to binary code (NTH2B) encoding process should be finished within just one system clock cycle. So the implementation of the NTH2B encoder is quite challenging considering the high speed requirement. Besides, the high resolution wave union TDC also demands the encoder to convert an ultra-wide input code to a binary code. We present a fast improved fat tree encoder (IFTE) to fulfill such requirements, in which bubble error suppression is also integrated. With this encoder scheme, a wave union TDC with 7.7 ps RMS and 3.8 ps effective bin size was implemented in an FPGA from Xilinx Virtex 5 family. An encoding time of 8.33 ns was achieved for a 276-bit non-thermometer code to a 9-bit binary code conversion. We conducted a series of tests on the oscillating period of the wave union launcher, as well as the overall performance of the TDC; test results indicate that the IFTE works well. In fact, in the implementation of this encoder, no manual routing or special constrains were required; therefore, this IFTE structure could also be further applied in other delay chain based FPGA TDCs.

It captures the features which are present in first-principles calculations but not explained by the theory of Xiao et al. [Phys Rev Lett 108, 196802 (2012)], namely the trigonal warping of the valence and conduction bands, the electron-hole symmetry breaking, and the spin-splitting of the conduction band. We also consider other points in the Brillouin zone which might be important for transport properties. Our findings lead to a more quantitative understanding of the properties of this material in the ballistic limit.

A unified approach to pricing and risk management of equity and credit risk

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Pricing of Securities (q-fin.PR)

subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: We propose a unified framework for equity and credit risk modeling, where the default time is a doubly stochastic random time with intensity driven by an underlying affine factor process. This approach allows for flexible interactions between the defaultable stock price, its stochastic volatility and the default intensity, while maintaining full analytical tractability. We characterise all risk-neutral measures which preserve the affine structure of the model and show that risk management as well as pricing problems can be dealt with efficiently by shifting to suitable survival measures. As an example, we consider a jump-to-default extension of the Heston stochastic volatility model.

The preparation and properties of large lecithin bilayer vesicles
Creators: name: Hurley, John N.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1974
Subjects: Chemistry

description: Sonicated lecithin vesicles of an "average" diameter of 1200 Å were prepared. PMR studies show a higher phase transition temperature than that found for small (300 - 500 Å) vesicles. Osmotic pressure collapses the vesicle but does not change the PMR linewidth. This differs from the effect found in small vesicles. Upon addition of a cyclic polyether (cyclohexyl-15-crown-5) to a solution of large vesicles, the water diffusion rate is found to increase by a factor of 5 to 10. The internal water volume also increases significantly, suggesting that the crown compound is incorporated into the bilayer.
Experimental study of the reattachment pressure rise at subsonic speeds
Creators: name: Lau, Jark Chong
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1965
Subjects: Aeronautics

description: An experimental study was made of the problem of separated flow with reattachment at subsonic speeds in various geometrical configurations. It was found that when the boundary layer thickness at separation was small, the values of the reattachment pressure rise coefficient agreed with those from the Korst-Chapman theory. The importance of the relative positions of the transition and reattachment was investigated. In the free shear layer, transition occurred at Reynolds numbers as low as 3 x 10[superscript 3], based on distance from the separation point.
Noisy nonlinear dynamics of vesicles in flow

description: We present a model for the dynamics of fluid vesicles in linear flow which consistently includes thermal fluctuations and nonlinear coupling between different modes. At the transition between tank-treading and tumbling, we predict a trembling motion which is at odds with the known deterministic motions and for which thermal noise is strongly amplified. In particular, highly asymmetric shapes are observed even though the deterministic flow only allows for axisymmetric ones. Our results explain quantitatively recent experimental observations [Levant and Steinberg, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 268103 (2012)].

The conduct of basic research in the aerospace industry
Creators: name: Jacobs, Delbert Harold
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1961
Subjects: Aeronautics

description: An analysis of basic research activities in the Aerospace industry is presented. A detailed study of Boeing, Convair, Lockheed, and Douglas indicates extensive and widely varying approaches to basic research in these companies.

The establishment of a successful basic research organization in any environment is a sequential process subject to many problems and setbacks. The airframe companies, though making promising progress toward this goal, still have a long way to go. The inherent hazards associated with the aerospace business threaten the fledgling basic research organizations, and I believe it will be the exception and not the rule that sound basic research activity will result.

description: We present schemes for geometric phase compensation in adiabatic passage which can be used for the implementation of quantum logic gates with atomic ensembles consisting of an arbitrary number of strongly interacting atoms. Protocols using double sequences of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) or adiabatic rapid passage (ARP) pulses are analyzed. Switching the sign of the detuning between two STIRAP sequences, or inverting the phase between two ARP pulses, provides state transfer with well defined amplitude and phase independent of atom number in the Rydberg blockade regime. Using these pulse sequences we present protocols for universal single-qubit and two-qubit operations in atomic ensembles containing an unknown number of atoms.

Evaluation of the Pure Component Parameterization Methodology on Mixture Property Predictions for Thermodynamic Equations of State Using Terrain Methodology
Creators: name: Swaminathan, Saravanan
name: Visco, Donald
name: Lucia, Angelo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2006

description: Modeling the phase behavior of substances using thermodynamic equations of state (EOS) has been a very vital area of research, as it is a quick and inexpensive way of predicting the phase properties at desired conditions. The parameters obtained after parameterising the pure components are used along with appropriate mixing rules to predict the mixture phase behavior of these compounds. Prior optimization techniques used for parameterization of pure components are methods that converge at a local minimum. In a previous work, it was found that number of local minima varies depending on wide variety of factors, such as the objective function used, number of data points, the weighting of the data points. The local minimum found and ultimately used to predict mixture properties have a very large impact on the quality of the resulting predictions. However, recent advances in global optimization will enable us in finding all the local minima. This research focuses on studying the predictive power of a complex thermodynamic equation of state (here, SAFT-VR EOS) that will, in turn, improve one's ability to model these complex systems in the future. This work attempts to characterize and maximize predictive power by mitigating spurious conclusions that are based on results from local minimization schemes and, thus, allow for more definitive conclusions on the properties of systems in the absence of experimental data. To this end, this work employs global terrain methodology – an advanced global optimization technique and applies it to the field of thermodynamic modeling. Additionally, analyses on the effects of multiple parameter-sets and binary interaction parameters on the prediction of mixture properties will be discussed. Through this work, parameter rules will be developed that will allow for the optimal prediction of pure component properties.

description: This paper is a survey dedicated to the analogy between the notions of {\it complexity} in theoretical computer science and {\it energy} in physics. This analogy is not metaphorical: I describe three precise mathematical contexts, suggested recently, in which mathematics related to (un)computability is inspired by and to a degree reproduces formalisms of statistical physics and quantum field theory.

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1966
Subjects: subject: Mechanical Engineering
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: The equations of motion for the flow of a mixture of liquid droplets, their vapor, and an inert gas through a normal shock wave are derived. A set of equations is obtained which is solved numerically for the equilibrium conditions far downstream of the shock. The equations describing the process of reaching equilibrium are also obtained. This is a set of first-order nonlinear differential equations and must also be solved numerically. The detailed equilibration process is obtained for several cases and the results are discussed.
