Opportunities and challenges for shared micromobility planning : a case study of Austin dockless scooter-share program
Creators: name: Bai, Shunhua
Publisher: name: The University of Texas at Austin
Year: 2023
Subjects: Shared micromobility

description: Shared Micromobility consists of a variety of shared, non-automotive personal modes, from traditional station-based bike-sharing to cutting-edge dockless electric scooters (e-scooters). The rise of shared micromobility in the U.S. was attributed to scooter-share programs in many cities such as Austin and Los Angeles. Research gaps exist in shared micromobility travel behavior for many reasons. First, it has been well integrated with other high-tech innovations such as smartphones and mobile payment. Thus, the travel data is passively collected from location-based devices rather than travel surveys. Second, it is a privatized business in which private vendors own, operate, and manage fleets based on profit-driven business models. As a result, transportation planners have limited data access and oversight power in decision-making. The booming yet under-regulated market has led to adverse social outcomes threatening city aesthetics and transportation equity due to overcrowding vehicles on streets and irresponsible riding and parking behaviors. The dissertation uses the scooter-share program in Austin, Texas, and applies data-driven approaches in urban informatic to examine e-scooter travel behavior at a small scale as well as its transportation equity implications. Research findings show that scooter travelers choose shorter routes based on when and where they travel. In addition, stores with higher spatiotemporal correlation with scooter use tend to attract visitors who reside in lower-income neighborhoods and spend less time during their visits. Interestingly, statistical results show an insignificant difference in visitors’ home distance. The equity analysis suggests that Austin scooter-share has the potential to benefit carless populations by deploying more vehicles in their neighborhoods. However, public space obstruction by overcrowding scooters imposed more mobility difficulties on people with physical difficulties and older populations. The dissertation contributes to the field by shedding light on the opportunities and challenges in shared micromobility planning under a larger umbrella of transportation planning.

description: Paper Abstract: Jealousy may have evolved to protect valuable social bonds from interlopers, but some researchers have suggested that it is linked to self-awareness and theory of mind, leading to claims that it is unique to humans. We presented dogs (N= 18; 11 female; age: M= 4.6 years, SD= 1.9) with situations in which they could observe an out-of-sight social interaction between their owner and a fake dog or between their owner and a fleece cylinder. We found evidence for three signatures of jealous behavior in dogs: (a) Jealousy emerged only when the dog’s owner interacted with a perceived social rival, (b) it occurred as a consequence of that interaction and not because of the mere presence of a conspecific, and (c) it emerged even for an out-of-sight interaction between the dog’s owner and a social rival. These results support claims that dogs display jealous behavior, and they provide the first evidence that dogs can mentally represent jealousy-inducing social interactions.

description: Presently available high-energy proton beams in circular accelerators carry enough momentum to accelerate high-intensity electron and positron beams to the TeV energy scale over several hundred meters of the plasma with a density of about 1e15 1/cm^3. However, the plasma wavelength at this density is 100-1000 times shorter than the typical longitudinal size of the high-energy proton beam. Therefore the self-modulation instability (SMI) of a long (~10 cm) proton beam in the plasma should be used to create the train of micro-bunches which would then drive the plasma wake resonantly. Changing the plasma density profile offers a simple way to control the development of the SMI and the acceleration of particles during this process. We present simulations of the possible use of a plasma density gradient as a way to control the acceleration of the electron beam during the development of the SMI of a 400 GeV proton beam in a 10 m long plasma. This work is done in the context of the AWAKE project --- the proof-of-principle experiment on proton driven plasma wakefield acceleration at CERN.

Tools to improve large-volume longitudinal evaluation of the neurovascular system through in vivo two-photon microscopy

description: Two-photon microscopy is often used to image in vivo neural structural due to the excellent contrast, resolution, and penetration depth available through the technique. While brain tissue can be imaged down to 500 µm routinely, there is a desire to push this even further given that the cerebral cortex extends to a 1 mm depth in mice. In this work we introduce a custom ytterbium fiber amplifier and diamond Raman laser that operate at wavelengths more suitable for deep imaging (1060 nm, 1250 nm) as compared to more traditional Ti:sapphire lasers (700-1000 nm). We prove their utility for two-photon excitation of multiple fluorophores that commonly serve as vascular and neuronal labels. Our custom oscillators are well suited for rapid imaging strategies as well given their high repetition rate (80 MHz), so additionally we present a methodology to increase our lateral imaging field of view which makes use of a resonant scanning mirror. Finally, we demonstrate a pulse gating strategy that can either increase signal generation or reduce average excitation power when imaging as to avoid excessive tissue heating. Many of the tools and strategies we present can be used in parallel to image larger tissue volumes for more comprehensive longitudinal study of neurovascular structure.
On the horizons in a viable vector-tensor theory of gravitation

description: A certain vector-tensor (VT) theory of gravitation was tested in previous papers. In the background universe, the vector field of the theory has a certain energy density, which is appropriate to play the role of vacuum energy (cosmological constant). Moreover, this background and its perturbations may explain the temperature angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) obtained with WMAP (Wilkinson Map Anisotropy Probe), and other observations, as e.g., the Ia supernova luminosities. The parametrized post-Newtonian limit of the VT theory has been proved to be identical to that of general relativity (GR), and there are no quantum ghosts and classical instabilities. Here, the stationary spherically symmetric solution, in the absence of any matter content, is derived and studied. The metric of this solution is formally identical to that of the Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter solution of GR, but the role of the electrical charge is played by a certain quantity $Γ$ depending on both the vector field and the parameters of the VT theory. The black hole and cosmological horizons are discussed. The radius of the VT black hole horizon deviates with respect to that of the Kottler-Schwarzschild-de Sitter radius. Realistic relative deviations depend on $Γ$ and reach maximum values close to 30 per cent. For large enough $Γ$ values, there is no any black hole horizon, but only a cosmological horizon. The radius of this last horizon is almost independent of the mass source, the vector field components, and the VT parameters. It essentially depends on the cosmological constant value, which has been fixed by using cosmological observational data (CMB anisotropy, galaxy correlations and so on).

Bloodlines and Blood Feuds in Venice and its Empire, published by Oxford University Press in 2021, succeeds in making documents speak, in making sing the stories, exploits, and emotions of people whose past lives are often reduced to a name in long notarial lists or indecipherable letters. The outcome is a peculiar, hybrid literary genre, based on strict documentary research – like a true essay – but with a happy narrative taste and a peculiar attention to psychological detail and contextual anecdote.

Of note, we made these changes before any t-tests were run on the final data.

description: Objective: To compare the polymerization shrinkage stress exerted on tooth structure by bulk-fill and conventional composite resins, via measuring cuspal strain. Materials and Methods: Fifty extracted maxillary premolars were mounted into phenolic rings and divided into 5 groups of 10. Strain gages were bonded to the buccal and lingual cusps. Proximal matrices were made with polyvinyl siloxane. Specimens received standardized MOD cavity preparations and strain gages were connected to a data acquisition unit. A 2-step self-etch adhesive (OptiBond XTR) was applied and the preparations were restored with materials placed and light-cured as follows: Filtek Supreme Ultra in 2mm increments (FSUI); Filtek Supreme Ultra in bulk (FSUB); SonicFill in bulk (SF); SureFil SDR flow in bulk, covered with a 2mm occlusal layer of Filtek Supreme Ultra (SDR/FSU); Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill in bulk (TEBF). A maximum strain value (in micro-strain, με) was obtained from each specimen. Data were subjected to one-way ANOVA and pairwise comparisons using LSMeans. Results: Mean maximum strain values and standard deviations were: FSUI: 730.6±104.8 με, FSUB: 1264.2±1418.8 με, SF: 539±75.9 με, SDR/FSU: 506.3±69.3 με, TEBF: 624.1±147.4 με. A significant difference was found between group FSUI and groups SF, SDR/FSU and TEBF (p=0.0002, p<0.0001 and p=0.0280, respectively), as well as between groups SDR/FSU and TEBF (p=0.0158). The FSUB group was excluded from the statistical analysis due to the high mean and standard deviation of the group, both the result of cuspal fractures due to shrinkage stress. Conclusions: The tested bulk-fill composite resins exerted less shrinkage stress on tooth structure than the incrementally placed conventional composite resin. Shrinkage stress generated by bulk-fill materials seems to be product-dependent. Bulk-filling with conventional composite resins is unpredictable and contraindicated.

description: In this work, an effective fermion model with particular higher order interactions given by: $I_{II} = \sum_n^N g_{2^n} (\barψ_a ψ_a)^{2^n}$, for finite $N$, is investigated by means of the auxiliary field method by taking into account 2$n$-particle states as proposed in Ref. [1]. The bosonized model was found to exhibit an approximate symmetry when expanded for weak field fluctuations around the mean field solutions. In the present work, the role of the mean field solutions for the corresponding auxiliary fields is investigated. With the integration of fermions, the resulting determinant is expanded in a polynomial boson model in the weak field approximation and the approximate symmetry found for this series does not appear if the boson mean fields are set to zero.

description: The Ku-band (13.8 GHz - 2.2 cm) RADAR instrument onboard the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft has revealed the richness of the surface of Titan, as numerous seas, lakes, rivers, cryo-volcanic flows and vast dune fields have been discovered. Linear dunes are a major geomorphological feature present on Titan, covering up to 17% of its surface, mainly in equatorial regions. However, the resolution of the RADAR instrument is not good enough to allow a detailed study of the morphology of these features. In addition, other linear wind-related landforms, such as mega-yardangs (linear wind-abraded ridges formed in cohesive rocks), are likely to present a comparable radar signature that could be confused with the one of dunes. We conducted a comparative study of the radar radiometry of both linear dunes and mega-yardangs, based on representative terrestrial analogues: the linear dunes located in the Great Sand Sea in western Egypt and in the Namib Desert in Namibia, and the mega-yardangs observed in the Lut Desert in eastern Iran and in the Borkou Desert in northern Chad. We analysed the radar scattering of both terrestrial linear dunes and mega-yardangs, using high-resolution radar images acquired by the X-band (9.6 GHz - 3.1 cm) sensor of the TerraSAR-X satellite. Variations seen in the radar response of dunes are the result of a contrast between the dune and interdune scattering, while for mega-yardangs these variations are the result of a contrast between ridges and erosion valleys. We tested a simple surface scattering model, with parameters derived from the local topography and surface roughness estimates, to accurately reproduce the radar signal variations for both landforms. It appears that we can discriminate between two types of dunes - bare interdunes as in Egypt and sand-covered interdunes as in Namibia, and between two types of mega-yardangs - young yardangs...

description: The use of bremsstrahlung photons produced by a linac to induce photonuclear reactions is wide spread. However, using a clinical linac to produce the photons is a new concept. We aimed to induce photonuclear reactions on zinc isotopes and measure the subsequent transition energies and half-lives. For this purpose, a bremsstrahlung photon beam of 18 MeV endpoint energy produced by the Philips SLI-25 linac has been used. The subsequent decay has been measured with a well-shielded single HPGe detector. The results obtained for transition energies are in good agreement with the literature data and in many cases surpass these in accuracy. For the half-lives, we are in agreement with the literature data, but do not achieve their precision. The obtained accuracy for the transition energies show what is achievable in an experiment such as ours. We demonstrate the usefulness and benefits of employing clinical linacs for nuclear physics experiments.

description: In the jewel-encrusted Pala d’Oro in Venice’s Basilica di San Marco, among its golden radiance and precious Byzantine enamels, there are six little plaquettes, only 4.4 cm in diameter: three knightly falconers on horseback, an apotheosis of Alexander the Great, a bust of the Emperor Constantine, and a symbol of the Cosmos (or cosmic vision, also identified as a Tree of Life). With little obvious coherence, the grouping has often gone unmentioned in the literature. Bergamo shows how the ensemble was an integral part of the Pala, made first by Doge Ordelaffo Falier, and reassembled in the fourteenth century by Doge Andrea Dandolo. Indeed, they form an elegant summa of Andrea Dandolo’s vision of the Venetian republic as the rightful – and inevitable – heir of the Roman empire.

description: We construct self-similar inflow-outflow solutions for a hot viscous-resistive accretion flow with large scale magnetic fields that have odd symmetry with respect to the equatorial plane in $B_θ$, and even symmetry in $B_r$ and $B_ϕ$. Following previous authors, we also assume that the polar velocity $v_θ$ is nonzero. We focus on four parameters: $β_{r0}$, $β_{\phi0}$ (the plasma beta parameters for associated with magnetic field components at the equatorial plane), the magnetic resistivity $η_0$, and the density index $n=-d\lnρ/d\ln r$. The resulting flow solutions are divided into two parts consisting of an inflow region with a negative radial velocity ($v_r<0$) and an outflow region with $v_r>0$. Our results show that stronger outflows emerge for smaller $β_{r0}$ ($\le10^{-2}$ for $n>1$) and larger values of $β_{\phi0}$, $η_0$ and $n$.

An analysis of gene expression in the socially monogamous brain

description: Socially monogamous behavior in the prairie vole Microtus ochrogaster is modulated by AVPR1A, a gene that encodes the receptor V1AR. V1AR binds vasopressin released into the brain during mating and helps to facilitate the generation of a pair bond. Notably, V1AR abundance in the nucleus accumbens, ventral pallidum, and retrosplenial area each predict aspects of socially monogamous behavior in the male vole. In my dissertation work, I use fluorescence in-situ hybridization to mark avpr1a expression throughout the vole brain. I imaged sections with fluorescently labelled avpr1a transcript brain-wide and digitally compiled a three-dimensional map of expression patterns of avpr1a transcript in the vole brain, registering them against the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas to uncover a complete list of structures and substructures expressing avpr1a. I categorized this list by both avpr1a-cell density and total avpr1a-cell abundance within a given brain structure. From this digital map, I generated whole-brain models of avpr1a expression patterns in three-dimensional space, visualizing putative social monogamy neural circuitry. I also worked on a project generating transgenic mice to express lacZ under the control of PPEn, a putative pallidal enhancer capable of driving avpr1a expression in the Microtus ochrogaster brain. Here I helped to uncover a list of brain structures where PPEn drives gene expression at different levels. We found that PPEn also suppresses gene expression in the liver, indicative of the important role AVPR1A plays in non-attachment related mammalian bodily functions. Last, I focused on the role of memory in the retrosplenial area in socially monogamous behavior. I used compartmental analysis of transcription Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (catFISH) to capture a partner memory engram – a group of cells in the retrosplenial cortex that seem to be involved in the recall of the memory of a mate. I found that mate recall activates a putative engram in the retrosplenial cortex. I discuss how these three analyses of gene expression further our knowledge of the cellular and molecular neurobiology of socially monogamous behavior.

Vacuum ultraviolet enhanced annealing
Next generation nanofabrication

description: Area selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) of metals and metal oxides as well as vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) enhanced annealing is presented as next generation nanofabrication processes. We propose SnO₂ as a reactive ion etching mask in fluorine-based etching processes. Tin forms nonvolatile compounds with fluorine at the process temperatures enabling tin to function as an etch mask. No nucleation delays were observed on Si thermal oxide and Si native oxide, while they were found on H-terminated Si(001) producing continuous films with pinhole defects. Etch proof-of-concept is studied using polystyrene patterns followed by 20 to 100 ALD cycles of SnO₂. Well-defined grid patterns are transferred 1.2 µm into Si(001) with SF₆ RIE when 50 ALD cycles of SnO₂ is grown, which is approximately 4 nm thick. In addition, VUV enhanced O₂ annealing is explored to improve the performance of Ba [subscript x] Sr [subscript 1-x] TiO₃ as an oxide layer in memory devices. The co-exposure of VUV and O₂ generates O and O₃, along with O₂, which was used to heal the oxygen vacancies to lower the leakage current of the BST film. I-V measurements show that the leakage current is improved by more than 4 orders of magnitude after annealed at both 250 ⁰C and 100 ⁰C. However, k is lowered after VUV/O₂ annealing at 250 ⁰C, suggesting the formation of GeO [subscript x] in series with the BST films. The film annealed at 100 ⁰C under VUV/O₂ shows similar k as before annealing, indicating that annealing at low temperature with VUV enhancement may be a potential method to lower the leakage current while maintaining the k. Moreover, AS-ALD of Pd by surface activation is achieved at 100 ⁰C as the catalyst layer for copper electroless deposition to make flexible displays. Pd is shown to be deposited on Ni surface, and not on NiO [subscript x] surface. Full reduction of the NiO [subscript x] surface is not required to initiate the Pd ALD process. The electroless Cu deposition catalysis layer, which is Pd in our case, was deposited by area activation of Ni/NiO [subscript x]. Cu was subsequently deposited on the Pd. No Cu can be deposited if Pd is absent. Uniformity of the Pd film thickness can change the thickness of Cu that is deposited at the same condition.

description: Zero-Group Velocity (ZGV) Lamb waves are studied in a structure composed of two plates bonded by an adhesive layer. The dispersion curves are calculated for a Duralumin/epoxy/Duralumin sample, where the adhesion is modeled by a normal and a tangential spring at both interfaces. Several ZGV modes are identified and their frequency dependence on interfacial stiffnesses and on the bonding layer thickness are numerically studied. Then, experiments achieved with laser ultrasonic techniques are presented. Local resonances are measured using superimposed source and probe. Knowing the thicknesses and elastic constants of the Duralumin and epoxy layers, the comparison between theoretical and experimental ZGV resonances leads to an evaluation of the interfacial stiffnesses. A good agreement with theoretical dispersion curves confirms the identification of the resonances and the parameter estimations. This non-contact technique is promising for the local evaluation of bonded structures.

Variation of Sr and Pb isotopes in megacrystic K-feldspar from the Cathedral Peak Granodiorite, California

description: In-situ micro-drilling of K-feldspar megacrysts from the Late Cretaceous Cathedral Peak Granodiorite of the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite, California, provided material to study Sr and Pb isotopic compositions and trace element variation recorded by these crystals. Both cores and rims of megacrysts have isotopic signatures similar to previously published whole-rock values of the Cathedral Peak Granodiorite. Excursions in isotopic ratios demonstrate that crystal transects are not homogenous, indicating that the megacrysts crystallized in an open-system environment. However, variations in radiogenic isotopes of K-feldspars are not large as observed in other plutonic and volcanic settings, suggesting large scale magma mixing and contamination did not occur in the Cathedral Peak Granodiorite. Modeling of K-feldspar trace element concentration profiles in a closed system fails to mimic profiles observed in the megacrysts. This adds to the interpretation that the megacrysts coarsened late in the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite’s history, rather than early nucleation and long-term growth.
Investigating the roles of high mobility group box proteins in nucleotide excision repair-mediated DNA damage processing

description: High mobility group box (HMGB) proteins are non-histone architectural proteins that bind to and bend non-canonical DNA structures. HMGB1, HMGB2, and HMGB3 are structurally similar, sharing ~80% of their sequences, however they have been shown to play biologically different roles. Notably, knockout of HMGB1 in mice is lethal, while knockout of HMGB2 and HMGB3 is not. HMGB1 is a co-factor in nucleotide excision repair (NER)-mediated repair of both DNA intrastrand crosslinks and DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs). HMGB1 has been shown to bind with NER proteins on ICLs, increase the mutagenic outcome of intrastrand crosslink and ICL processing, alter the mutation spectra resulting from ICL processing, and recruit the NER protein, Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A (XPA), to ICLs in cells. There are still details with respect to the role(s) of HMGB1 that have not yet been determined, such as the potential involvement it may have in a NER sub-pathway or translesion DNA synthesis during ICL processing. Moreover, the role of HMGB3 in DNA damage repair is largely unknown. HMGB3 is overexpressed in many cancers, and is associated with resistance to DNA damaging chemotherapeutic agents, including cisplatin, which induces both intrastrand and interstrand crosslinks. Given the similarity to HMGB1, HMGB3 may also be involved in NER-mediated DNA damage repair. A combination of mutagenesis assays, co-immunoprecipitation experiments, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, clonogenic assays, slot blot assays, and RNA sequencing were utilized to understand the potential role(s) of HMGB3 in intrastrand crosslink repair, HMGB1 in the two NER sub-pathways and in translesion synthesis, and HMGB2 and HMGB3 in ICL repair. There was no obvious involvement of HMGB1 in the NER subpathways or in translesion synthesis in conjunction with polymerase eta. HMGB3 was not found to play a large role in intrastrand crosslink repair, suggesting that unlike HMGB1, it is not an NER co-factor. Instead, HMGB3 appears to play a role in ICL processing and/or DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. In addition, HMGB3 knockout in cells resulted in downregulated cell cycle-associated genes and chromatin organization-associated genes, among others. Future directions include continued investigation of the roles of the HMGB proteins in DNA damage repair.

description: We report the results of a theoretical investigation of the stability of a toroidal vortex bound by an interface. Two distinct instability mechanisms are identified that rely on, respectively, surface tension and fluid inertia, either of which may prompt the transformation from a circular to a polygonal torus. Our results are discussed in the context of three experiments, a toroidal vortex ring, the hydraulic jump, and the hydraulic bump.
