Experimental Study of Steel Reinforced Concrete (SRC) Coupling Beams under Nonlinear Wind Demands
Creators: name: Forbes, Jacob
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2022

description: The recently-published ASCE/SEI Prestandard for Performance Based Wind Design (ASEC/SEI, 2019) describes design for modest nonlinear response of select structural members such as coupling beams. In this study, two steel reinforced concrete (SRC) coupling beams, with steel sections that embedded into a reinforced concrete wall, were tested quasi-statically under fully reversed cyclic wind demands with peak beam deformation of three times the yield rotation. The beams and walls were designed in accordance with AISC 341-22 Section H5, and the wall was compliant with ACI 318-19 Section 18.10.6.5. The beam and wall for each test was nominally identical, with the only test variable being the wall demand. During each test, the wall was subjected to constant axial gravity load and fully reversed-cyclic lateral loading that was linearly proportional to the load in the test beam. The ratio of wall shear to beam shear was constant for the two tests, while the wall moment at the height of the coupling beam produced by the applied wall demands differed by a factor of 2.0 for the two tests. Damage in the two test beams concentrated at the beam-wall interface, with the majority of the coupling beam deformation at this location. The number of cycles used in the tests was substantially higher than that used in typical seismic tests. Despite the significant stiffness degradation for repeated loading cycles at a given increment, significant strength degradation of initial cycles at new peak deformation demands or pinching in the load-deformation response was not observed. In both tests, peak load resistance was reached at peak deformation demand, which was 5.70% and 4.80% chord rotation for the two tests.

description: The increasing frequency and scale of zoonotic disease outbreaks in recent years have amplified the need for better disease surveillance initiatives. However, building and maintaining such surveillance systems is a challenge, especially in low or middle-income countries. In this study, we examined the potential of open-source data and Event-Based Surveillance (EBS) in the early detection and prediction of zoonotic diseases. We extracted key disease event-specific information from the open-source data using a newly developed disease event taxonomy. We conducted a PRISMA systematic review to study the advances in using Machine Learning (ML) in infectious disease prediction over the past two decades. Finally, we utilized EBS along with ML and transfer learning (TL) techniques to predict an emerging zoonotic disease i.e., Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD) cases in humans under resource and data-limited settings. Using news media as a form of EBS, we identified zoonotic disease events well in advance of the official reporting in Kenya. Rift Valley fever and anthrax were the most frequently reported zoonotic diseases. The systematic review showed an increasing trend in the use of ML techniques for infectious disease prediction in the past two decades with tree-based ML and feed-forward neural networks being the most frequently used techniques. Temporal models predicting highly contagious and zoonotic diseases in humans were particularly popular. However, prediction models in resource-scare settings across regions and diseases were underrepresented. For KFD, using EBS along with weather data increased the predictive performance of time-series ML models when compared to using weather data alone. The TL enabled accurate and timely prediction of KFD cases in new outbreak regions with limited epidemiological data. Our study demonstrates the potential of novel data sources such as EBS and advanced ML approaches in increasing disease prediction capabilities in resource-scarce situations for better-informed decisions in the face of emerging zoonotic threats.

description: The creation and consumption of fermented beverages such as ales and wines date back to the Neolithic period where alcohol was most often used for ritualistic and spiritualistic purposes. Now in the modern age, alcohol is the most widely used recreational drug in the world – consumed for its neural depressant effects, which at low doses cause euphoria, reduced anxiety, increased sociability, and motor deficits. While at low doses somewhat harmless, excessive alcohol consumption can lead to binge drinking and alcohol dependence which pose significant threats to the dependent individual, their associated friends and family, and society more broadly. Continued excessive alcohol consumption across the lifetime of an individual can develop from a myriad of social, biological, and/or psychological reasons. From a biological perspective, alcohol dependence has a strong genetic component as illustrated by human twin and familial studies. While such genetic influences are complex as no single genetic mutation accounts for the development of alcohol dependence, the focus of this thesis is how a genetic contribution of the cerebellum alters neural responses to alcohol which influence the psychological experience of alcohol and thus may contribute to an increased predilection of abusive consumption. Specifically, it is established that genetically driven, low sensitivity of cerebellar-mediated aversive alcohol responses can facilitate or enable a transition to harmful patterns of high alcohol consumption, and ultimately perpetuate the development of dependence. Therefore, a better understanding of how this genetic influence of the cerebellum contributes to the development of alcohol use disorders should be further elucidated. Chapters in this thesis describe a genetically determined neurological difference and underlying mechanism within the cerebellum that might explain differences in initial sensitivity to alcohol and thus alcohol consumption behavior between mouse species that exhibit high and low alcohol preference. Based on those findings, further studies presented in this thesis support that manipulating cerebellar granule cell signaling, using both pharmacological and chemogenetic techniques, can alter alcohol consumption behavior. Collectively, the findings in this dissertation suggest that differences in cerebellar neurological responses to alcohol likely influence alcohol consumption behavior, and, therefore, that screening for, or pharmacological interventions to alter those responses would be an exciting area of research for preventing the development of and treating existing alcohol use disorders.

description: This dissertation investigated the process-oriented approach to teaching English writing and the use of corrective feedback. The first study involved Arab L2 learners of English as participants, while the second study included both Arab L2 learners of English and English as a second language (ESL) writing teachers. The first study, reported in chapter two, utilized a quantitative pre-and post-test design to investigate the effect of the process-oriented writing approach on helping Arab L2 learners reduce common errors in English writing. The study's participants were 42 Arab L2 learners studying English as a second language (ESL) in the United States. Error analysis was performed on the Arab L2 learners’ writing from the pre-test to the post-test to measure the error scores change in their writing samples. The results showed a significant reduction in the Arab L2 learners' grammatical error scores, demonstrating the positive effects of the process-oriented approach to teaching writing in English. The second qualitative study discussed in chapter four utilized semi-structured interviews to investigate the perspectives toward and use of corrective feedback (CF) of 10 Arab L2 learners as well as the perspectives toward and use of instructional strategies to provide CF of three ESL writing teachers. Both Arab L2 learners and ESL writing teachers reported positive perspectives on the usefulness of CF in teaching and learning English as second language writing. This second study found numerous factors influencing ESL writing teachers’ use of instructional strategies when providing CF. It also found various factors influencing Arab L2 learners’ use of CF. This dissertation offers several implications for teaching English as a second language to L2 learners and future research regarding the process-oriented approach and providing corrective feedback to L2 learners related to their English writing.

Understanding the Lived Experience of Adolescents Concerned about Climate Change
Creators: name: Drumm, Kailie
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2022

description: Background: Climate change is a public health threat on a global scale. Over the last two decades, research has uncovered the myriad health effects of climate change and its associated costs, including increased respiratory diseases, heat-related illness and death, rising vector-borne illnesses, and food and water insecurities. Vulnerable populations such as the elderly, indigenous groups, socioeconomically disadvantaged, and children/adolescents face a disproportionate burden from climate change. Literature is beginning to show the direct and indirect effects of climate change to be an indicator of increased adverse mental health outcomes. Excessive worry, anxiety, grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder have been documented in adults across the globe. Experiencing current climate-related disasters while also anticipating future catastrophic events weighs heavily on the minds of millions. The development of scales to measure worry and anxiety regarding climate change in adults has shown the critical need to understand the various ways climate change affects mental well-being in all populations. Research has yet to understand, holistically, the nature of the existential threat of climate change in adolescent populations who are at a critical juncture in psychological development.
description: The purpose of this dissertation was to:
description: Aim #1: Understand the lived experience of adolescents who are concerned about climate change, and
description: Aim #2: Uncover the meaning of climate change concern for adolescents as informed by emerging patterns, through the utilization of a holistic nursing lens to interpret findings.
description: Methodological Approach:
description: This dissertation utilized Heideggerian Hermeneutic Phenomenology as a philosophical foundation and methodological approach for data retrieval and analysis. A patient-driven, interview-based approach with a convenience sample (n=11, aged 12-17 years) took place. To reveal the multi-layered elements of climate change concern and its effects, one must initially uncover what it means for the adolescent to be in the world as it relates to this phenomenon. Three patterns emerged: Climate Change as a Temporal Threat and Pressure, Awareness and Concern as a Continuum, and Experiencing Concern and Making Meaning. These findings may now inform nursing and interdisciplinary knowledge on upstream mitigation efforts and the promotion of positive outcomes relating to climate change.

We use multiband information and machine learning techniques to identify and characterize these variables. We recover ~1,300 previously-discovered Mira candidates and identify ~13,000 new Miras and LPVs. We detect for the first time a clear first-overtone pulsation sequence among Mira candidates in this galaxy. We use O-rich, fundamental-mode Miras in the LMC and M33 to derive a distance modulus for the latter of 24.629 +/- 0.046 mag.

description: Bioenergy sorghums (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) are cultivated to produce large volumes of biomass. In the context of bioenergy production, lignin has been the focus of much attention because of the negative role it plays in the enzymatic saccharification of cell wall polysaccharides. Lignin is formed from the oxidative coupling of monolignols, which are hydroxycinnamyl alcohols and related compounds synthesized from 4-coumaroyl-CoA via a series of enzymatic reactions. The detailed mechanism of the monolignol pathway will enable the manipulation of lignin content in biofuel plants, and further benefits biofuel production. Much progress has been made in the understanding of lignin biosynthesis through detailed studies of the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of monolignols, while the crucial hydroxylation steps are poorly understood. The hydroxylation steps in the monolignol pathway are achieved by cytochrome P450s, including p-coumaroyl shikimate 3'-hydroxylase (C3’H), cinnamate-4-hydroxylase (C4H), and ferulate-5-hydroxylase (F5H). These three enzymes belong to the class II P450 superfamily, where the electrons necessary for catalysis are provided by NADPH-dependent cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR), a flavoprotein co-localized with P450 on the exterior surface of the membrane of endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This study investigated the structural and functional characteristics of p-coumaroyl shikimate 3'-hydroxylase (C3’H), cinnamate-4-hydroxylase (C4H), cytochrome P450 reductases from sorghum, as well as the redox interaction between the P450s and CPRs. The results provide valuable information of the substrate specificity and protein-protein interaction of the key enzymes in the monolignol pathway, thus contribute to the fundamental knowledge to tune the chemical composition in the secondary cell walls of plants.

description: Integrated Pest Management (IPM) employs both chemical and non-chemical strategies. In both cases, foundational research is required and necessary to create an effective management tool. This dissertation explores the development of an alternative, non-chemical management tool for pear psylla (Cacopsylla pyricola) exploiting their vibrational communication. The first chapter is a review of pear psylla biology and history as well as the study of vibrational communication or most recently coined as Biotremology. In the first manuscript, I characterized the mating songs of male and female pear psylla adults and assessed whether temperature and presence of conspecific individuals altered the male signal characteristics. I show that some song traits are affected by temperature while some are not. I also showed that experience with the opposite sex increases the likelihood of males producing a vibrational mating song. The second manuscript explores three vibrational delivery methods to determine the efficacy of mating disruption (MD) in pear psylla employing the two MD hypotheses: competitive versus noncompetitive MD. My results show that white noise (noncompetitive MD) was effective in reducing mating rates in pear psylla, but only when played directly to the plant substrate. Male song playback (competitive MD) was more effective than the other types of playback when went through the air using speakers. This suggests that we may be able to employ both types of mating disruption through different delivery methods. In the third manuscript, I set out to test vibrational playbacks as an enhancement to traps for monitoring and as a tool to disrupt mating in pear psylla in an orchard setting. The results show that vibrational playback enhanced sticky card trap catch and was female-biased. Vibrational playback was more effective at reducing offspring when I used white noise as vibrational playback, especially in the Anjou variety. The results from these experiments will contribute to the body of knowledge and tools for pear psylla IPM and as a basis for developing a similar toll for other pests that use vibrational communication.

description: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition that is defined by difficulties in social interaction, repetitive behaviors, and increased sensitivity to sensory stimuli. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for ensuring effective intervention and support. Recent advancements in machine learning have demonstrated promising potential in improving ASD diagnosis using a variety of techniques. This paper reviews recent research on how machine learning is applied to ASD diagnosis, emphasizing the effectiveness of different classification models, feature selection approaches, and their impact on diagnostic accuracy. Key methods include Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) classifiers, which have achieved up to 100% accuracy, along with other advanced AI models that have shown diagnostic accuracies of 98.17%. Additional techniques, such as the Weighted C4.5 Algorithm (WCBA) and Decision Tree Classifiers, have proven successful in identifying critical features and enhancing early detection. Combining feature scaling with various machine learning algorithms has further improved classification performance across diverse age groups. These developments underscore the potential of machine learning to enhance ASD diagnosis, leading to more precise and earlier identification, which is essential for effective intervention and management.

description: CoFe2O4 nanoparticles prepared by chemical coprecipitation method in a magnetic field exhibit novel magnetic properties. The average particle diameter was about 2 nm and larger depending on the post annealing temperature. Magnetization measurements indicate that smaller nanoparticles are superparamagnetic above their respective blocking temperatures. In the blocked state, these nanoparticles exhibit interesting behaviors in the magnetic hysteresis measurements. Constricted, or wasp waisted with extremely narrow waist, hysteresis curves have been observed in the magnetization versus field sweeps. For larger nanoparticles, the room temperature hysteresis is typical of a ferromagnet with an open loop, but the loop closes at lower temperature. The novel magnetic behavior is attributed to the directional order of Co ions and vacancies in CoFe2O4 established during the coprecipitation of the nanoparticles under an applied field.

description: Pure HfO2 and Gd-doped HfO2 thin films have been grown on different single crystal substrates silicon, R-Al2O3, and LaAlO3 by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction XRD patterns show that the pure HfO2 thin films are of single monoclinic phase. Gd-doped HfO2 films have the same XRD pattern except that their diffraction peaks have a shift toward lower angles, which indicates that Gd dissolves in HfO2. Transmission electron microscopy images show a columnar growth of the films. Very weak ferromagnetism is observed in pure and Gd-doped HfO2 films on different substrates at 300 and 5 K, which is attributed to either impure target materials or signals from the substrates. The magnetic properties do not change significantly with postdeposition annealing of the HfO2 films. In addition to the films, HfO2 powders were annealed in pure hydrogen flow, and a ferromagnetic signal was not observed.

description: The broader adoption of social media platforms (e.g., TikTok), combined with recent developments in Generative AI (GAI) technologies has had a transformative effect on many peoples' ability to confidently assess the veracity and meaning of information online. In this paper, building on recent related work that surfaced the social ways that young people evaluate information online, we explore the decision-making practices, challenges and heuristics involved in young adults' assessments of information online. To do so, we designed and conducted a novel digital diary study, followed by data-informed interviews with young adults. Our findings uncover the information practices of young adults including the social and emotional motivations for ignoring, avoiding, and engaging with online information and the ways this is entangled with collaborative arrangements with algorithms as agents. In our discussion we bring these findings in close dialogue with work on information sensibility and contribute rich insights into young peoples' information sensibility practices embedded within social worlds. Finally, we surface how such practices are attuned to prioritise wellbeing over convenience or other commonly associated sufficing heuristics.

description: The depths of the 410 and 660 km discontinuities beneath the Yellowstone hotspot are constrained using common conversion point imaging of P-wave receiver functions. The mean depth of the 410 and 660 is 411±1.5 km and 656±1.6 km, with 36-40 km of peak to peak topography. This topography is spatially uncorrelated, providing no evidence for a lower mantle plume currently beneath the hotspot. The topography suggests that ±200°C thermal anomalies exist with respect to an average mantle adiabat. Two warmer than normal regions are found: at the 410 to the NNW of the hotspot and at the 660 to the NE. Colder temperatures exist at the 410 under central Wyoming. Upper mantle convection and/or intermittent heat and mass transfer across the 660 may be responsible for the uncorrelated topography. Three negative arrivals about the 410 and 660 are observed that display correct Pds moveout.

description: From 55°45'E to 58°45'E and from 60°30'E to 62°00'E, the ultraslow-spreading Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) consists of magmatic spreading segments separated by oblique amagmatic spreading segments, transform faults, and nontransform discontinuities. Off-axis magnetic and multibeam bathymetric data permit investigation of the evolution of this part of the SWIR. Individual magmatic segments show varying magnitudes and directions of asymmetric spreading, which requires that the shape of the plate boundary has changed significantly over time. In particular, since 26 Ma the Atlantis II transform fault grew by 90 km to reach 199 km, while a 45-km-long transform fault at 56°30'E shrank to become an 11 km offset nontransform discontinuity. Conversely, an oblique amagmatic segment at the center of a first-order spreading segment shows little change in orientation with time. These changes are consistent with the clockwise rotation of two similar to 450-km-wide first-order spreading segments between the Gallieni and Melville transform faults (52-60°E) to become more orthogonal to spreading. We suggest that suborthogonal first-order spreading segments reflect a stable configuration for mid-ocean ridges that maximizes upwelling rates in the asthenospheric mantle and results in a hotter and weaker ridge-axis that can more easily accommodate seafloor spreading.

description: ABSTRACT Background: Young stroke survivors are likely to be discharged home from acute hospital care without rehabilitation more quickly than older survivors, but it is not clear why. File-audit studies capturing real-world clinical practice are lacking for this cohort. We aimed to compare characteristics and care pathways of young and older survivors and describe stroke presentations and predictors of pathways of care in young survivors (≤45years), including a focus on care received for 'invisible' (cognitive, psychological) difficulties. Methods: A retrospective audit of 847 medical records (67 young stroke survivors, mean age=36years; 780 older patients, mean age=70years) was completed for stroke survivors admitted to an Australian tertiary hospital. Stroke characteristics and presence of cognitive difficulties (identified through clinician opinion or cognitive screening) were used to predict length of stay and discharge destination in young stroke survivors. Results: There were no differences in length of stay between young and older survivors, however, young stroke survivors were more likely to be discharged home without rehabilitation (though this may be due to milder strokes observed in young stroke survivors). For young stroke survivors, stroke severity and age predicted discharge destination, while cognitive difficulties predicted longer length of stay. While almost all young survivors were offered occupational therapy and physiotherapy, none received psychological input (clinical, health or neuropsychology). Conclusions: Cognitive and psychological needs of young stroke survivors may remain largely unmet by a service model designed for older people. Findings can inform service development or models of care, such as the new Australian Young Stroke Service designed to better meet the needs of young survivors.

description: Cyanogenic glycosides are common secondary compounds in ripe fruits that are dispersed by birds. These substances are toxic to some mammals. We examined the repellent effect of amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside, on Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum). Amygdalin did not reduce food ingestion in Cedar Waxwings, even at relatively high concentrations. In addition, these birds did not exhibit preference for amygdalin-free over amygdalin-containing fruit. Cedar Waxwings given artificial food that contained four times the amount of amygdalin found in some wild fruits ingested the equivalent of 5.5 times the oral lethal dose for rats in 4 h without exhibiting any external signs of toxicity. Amygdalin ingestion appeared to have a negative effect on nitrogen retention and food assimilation. However, when nitrogen retention and food assimilation were recalculated assuming that ail amygdalin ingested was excreted intact, these negative effects disappeared. The presence of large amounts of unhydrolyzed amygdalin in the excreta of waxwings fed on amygdalin-laced food confirmed our conjecture that amygdalin was excreted intact. We hypothesize that in Cedar Waxwings, amygdalin is absorbed in the intestine but is not hydrolyzed by endogenous enzymes and thus is excreted intact in urine. The apparent lack of repellent effects of amygdalin in Cedar Waxwings suggest that toxicity data for rats and humans may be a poor predictor for the deterrent effect of fruit secondary compounds on frugivorous birds. Many hypotheses that have been posed to explain the presence of secondary compounds in ripe fruit assume that these substances have repellent/toxic effects on avian seed dispersers. For some compounds, such as amygdalin and other cyanogenic glycosides, this assumption may not be valid.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Short-term harvest refuges have attracted the interest of fisheries managers as a means to protect juvenile fish. Implementation would require fishermen to report high catch rates of juveniles in a small area, whereupon the area would be closed to fishing for a specified period, perhaps two weeks. In this way, the juveniles are protected in the short-term, but fishing grounds remain available to the fleet in the long-term. Naturally, such management makes assumptions about the persistence of juvenile fish in the harvest refuge. We consider how to design a survey whose primary objective is to address spatial persistence. Acoustic surveys are particularly suited to this question, and we describe the design and analysis of acoustic survey data collected over a 220 km2 survey region off the coast of Yorkshire. We employed generalized additive models to investigate space/time interactions and to partition temporal variation into diel and persistence components. We also consider how trawl catch can supplement the acoustic survey. Finally, we demonstrate visual data analysis techniques that provide a summary of fish behaviour in the region. Our analysis suggests that the total biomass in the area could fall by as much as 50% in a period of three days. We take this to indicate that larger areas would be required for effective protection of young fish.

description: Densities of mixing ionic liquids such as; 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate {[EMIM][HSO4]} (1) + 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulphonyl)imide {[BMIM][NtF2]} (2) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate {[BMIM][OAc]} (1) + 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifouromethylsulphonyl)imide {[BMIM][NtF2]} (2) were measured over the entire compositional range at temperature of 293.15 −343.15 K. The results of these measurements were used to calculate excess molar volume, partial molar volume and excess partial molar volume. Hence, the excess molar volumes were correlated as a function of the mole fraction using the Redlich-Kister equation and their temperature dependences of Redlich-Kister coefficients are also presented. Subsequently, the partial molar volume and excess partial molar volume were also derived. Further, the molecular polarity of the mixture of ionic liquids, esterification reactants such as acetic acid and n-butanol, butyl ester and water were analysed using sigma profile and sigma potential plot. Finally, the green esterification was carried out using a mixture of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate {[EMIM][HSO4]} (1) + 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulphonyl)imide {[BMIM][NtF2]} (2) at 298.15 K and 1 atm. It shows 82% of n-butyl ester at equimolar ratio of reactants by GC spectra analysis.
