title: Radical Impact of Change in Actions and Confidence Index on Reverse Decision Making an Application Based Study
Creators: name: Paithankar, Swatee Trimbak
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: While making decisions under uncertainty, people are often unaware of the logical approach to form the decision process. It is assumed that collecting details, analyzing and evaluating data is enough to make 'proper' decisions. However, past research in the decision making arena has significantly validated that there exists a class of decision problems which is complex, ill-structured and not defined to the level where decision makers can draw logical conclusions based on existing traditional decision approaches. RDM (reverse decision making), one of the novel approaches of decision making under conditions of uncertainty, has shown potential towards addressing some of these ill-structured, chaotic problems.

Research group from the Department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering (Old Dominion University) has validated the RDM approach at the exploratory level where some of the RDM constructs are verified. For instance, these RDM constructs include the following: under dynamic and consistently changing decision environments initial decisions are based on desired outcomes and their perceived feasibility; secondly, the sequence of events happening during the decision process significantly impact or alter the decision makers' confidence level of attaining the outcome at a given point in time. The postulation is that when confidence drops below an acceptable threshold or the desire to attain an outcome dissipates, the decision makers

shift to a new decision alternative. Nevertheless, there is a vital RDM component which is yet to be captured in RDM, and that is the effect of the decision maker's action on the confidence index in the selected decision alternative and the impact of those variations on the confidence index in the RDM process. Our research proposes that under the RDM process the outcome from the actions taken by decision makers to achieve a desired objective leads to change in their confidence index in the selected decision alternative. Further variations in these confidence indices also results in a positive or negative impact to the decision path selection.

The experimental study has been conducted to verify the proposed RDM constructs. The experimental results validated the correlation between the decision makers' action and their confidence index in the chosen decision alternative.

description: Zipf's law, and power laws in general, have attracted and continue to attract considerable attention in a wide variety of disciplines - from astronomy to demographics to software structure to economics to linguistics to zoology, and even warfare. A recent model of random group formation [RGF] attempts a general explanation of such phenomena based on Jaynes' notion of maximum entropy applied to a particular choice of cost function. In the present article I argue that the cost function used in the RGF model is in fact unnecessarily complicated, and that power laws can be obtained in a much simpler way by applying maximum entropy ideas directly to the Shannon entropy subject only to a single constraint: that the average of the logarithm of the observable quantity is specified.

description: We report the discovery of 76 new T dwarfs from the UKIDSS Large Area Survey (LAS). Near-infrared broad and narrow-band photometry and spectroscopy are presented for the new objects, along with WISE and warm-Spitzer photometry. Proper motions for 128 UKIDSS T dwarfs are presented from a new two epoch LAS proper motion catalogue. We use these motions to identify two new benchmark systems: LHS 6176AB, a T8+M4 pair and HD118865AB, a T5.5+F8 pair. Using age constraints from the primaries and evolutionary models to constrain the radii we have estimated their physical properties from their bolometric luminosity. We compare the colours and properties of known benchmark T dwarfs to the latest model atmospheres and draw two principal conclusions. Firstly, it appears that the H - [4.5] and J - W2 colours are more sensitive to metallicity than has previously been recognised, such that differences in metallicity may dominate over differences in Teff when considering relative properties of cool objects using these colours. Secondly, the previously noted apparent dominance of young objects in the late-T dwarf sample is no longer apparent when using the new model grids and the expanded sample of late-T dwarfs and benchmarks. This is supported by the apparently similar distribution of late-T dwarfs and earlier-type T dwarfs on reduced proper motion diagrams that we present. Finally, we present updated space densities for the late-T dwarfs, and compare our values to simulation predictions and those from WISE.

The Pacoima Area
Creators: name: Fisher, Robert Lloyd
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1949
Subjects: subject: Geology
subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: The Pacoima area consists of Miocene (sediments and basalts) rocks underlain by a quartz diorite basement complex of Jurassic age. The stratigranhic units range from 25 feet to more than 600 feet in thickness. The lower sediments are arkosic land- laid deposits while the Modelo formation, shallow marine in origin, consists of thinly bedded sandstones, shales, volcanic ash and calcareous members. An andesitic mass, possibly a volcanic plug, outcrops near the summit of one of the hills.

An anticline, and possibly an associated syncline, has been developed by compressional folding. Small scale contortion is locally exposed. Regional dip is northward, decreasing from south to north in the area. Faulting is common, most faults trending nearly north-south. Movement along these faults ranges from a few feet to several hundred feet.

There are no important mineral deposits in the area. Quarrying of the basement rocks has been abandoned.
Fun with the Abelian Higgs Model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In calculations of the elementary scalar spectra of spontaneously broken gauge theories there is a number of subtleties which, though often unnecessary to deal with in the order-of-magnitude type of calculations, have to be taken into account if fully consistent results are sought for. Within the "canonical" effective-potential approach these are, for instance: the need to handle infinite series of nested commutators of derivatives of field-dependent mass matrices, the need to cope with spurious IR divergences emerging in the consistent leading-order approximation and, in particular, the need to account for the fine interplay between the renormalization effects in the one- and two-point Green's functions which, indeed, is essential for the proper stable vacuum identification and, thus, for the correct interpretation of the results. In this note we illustrate some of these issues in the realm of the minimal abelian Higgs model and two of its simplest extensions including extra heavy scalars in the spectrum in attempt to exemplify the key aspects of the usual "hierarchy problem" lore in a very specific and simple setting. We emphasise that, regardless of the omnipresent polynomial cut-off dependence in the one-loop corrections to the scalar two-point function, the physical Higgs boson mass is always governed by the associated symmetry-breaking VEV and, as such, it is generally as UV-robust as all other VEV-driven masses in the theory.

The interaction among quarks is reduced to a vector-vector interaction via a single dressed-gluon exchange (Rainbow-Ladder truncation). The formalism allows for the study of the hadron spectrum as well as their internal properties. We will present the calculation of electromagnetic properties of spin-3/2 baryons. The model independent features of our results are assessed using two different models for the dressings.

Large-scale inhomogeneities of the intracluster medium: improving mass estimates using the observed azimuthal scatter

description: Using a set of hydrodynamical simulations of 62 galaxy clusters and groups we study the ICM of inhomogeneities, focusing on the ones on the large scale that, unlike clumps, are the most difficult to identify. To this purpose we introduce the concept of residual clumpiness, C_R, that quantifies the large-scale inhomogeneity of the ICM. After showing that this quantity can be robustly defined for relaxed systems, we characterize how it varies with radius, mass and dynamical state of the halo. Most importantly, we observe that it introduces an overestimate in the determination of the density profile from the X-ray emission, which translates into a systematic overestimate of 6 (12)% in the measurement of M_gas at R_200 for our relaxed (perturbed) cluster sample. At the same time, the increase of C_R with radius introduces also a ~2% systematic underestimate in the measurement of the hydrostatic-equilibrium mass (M_he), which adds to the previous one generating a systematic ~8.5% overestimate in f_gas in our relaxed sample. Since the residual clumpiness of the ICM is not directly observable, we study its correlation with the azimuthal scatter in the X-ray surface brightness of the halo and in the y-parameter profiles. We find that their correlation is highly significant (r_S = 0.6-0.7), allowing to define the azimuthal scatter measured in the X-ray surface brightness profile and in the y-parameter as robust proxies of C_R. After providing a function that connects the two quantities, we obtain that correcting the observed gas density profiles using the azimuthal scatter eliminates the bias in the measurement of M_gas for relaxed objects, which becomes (0+/-2)% up to 2R_200, and reduces it by a factor of 3 for perturbed ones. This method allows also to eliminate the systematics on the measurements of M_he and f_gas, although a significant halo to halo scatter remains. (abridged)

A Huygens principle for diffusion and anomalous diffusion in spatially extended systems

Year: 2013

description: We present a universal view on diffusive behaviour in chaotic spatially extended systems for anisotropic and isotropic media. For anisotropic systems, strong chaos leads to diffusive behaviour (Brownian motion with drift) and weak chaos leads to superdiffusive behaviour (Lévy processes with drift). For isotropic systems, the drift term vanishes and strong chaos again leads to Brownian motion. We establish the existence of a nonlinear Huygens principle for weakly chaotic systems in isotropic media whereby the dynamics behaves diffusively in even space dimension and exhibits superdiffusive behaviour in odd space dimensions.

Dynamics of domain-wall Dirac fermions on a topological insulator: a chiral fermion beam splitter

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: The intersection of two ferromagnetic domain walls placed on the surface of topological insulators provides a one-way beam splitter for domain-wall Dirac fermions. Based on an analytic expression for a static two-soliton magnetic texture we perform a systematic numerical study of the propagation of Dirac wave packets along such intersections. A single-cone staggered-grid finite difference lattice scheme is employed in the numerical analysis. It is shown that the angle of intersection plays a decisive role in determining the splitting ratio of the fermion beam. For a non-rectangular intersection, the width and, to a lesser extent, the type of domain walls, e.g. Bloch or N{é}el, determine the properties of the splitter. As the ratio between domain-wall width and transverse localization length of the Dirac fermion is increased its propagation behavior changes from quantum-mechanical (wave-like) to classical ballistic (particle-like). An electric gate placed near the intersection offers a dynamic external control knob for adjusting the splitting ratio.

description: We present 50-210 um spectral scans of 30 Class 0/I protostellar sources, obtained with Herschel-PACS, and 0.5-1000 um SEDs, as part of the Dust, Ice, and Gas in Time (DIGIT) Key Program. Some sources exhibit up to 75 H2O lines ranging in excitation energy from 100-2000 K, 12 transitions of OH, and CO rotational lines ranging from J=14-13 up to J=40-39. [O I] is detected in all but one source in the entire sample; among the sources with detectable [O I] are two Very Low Luminosity Objects (VeLLOs). The mean 63/145 um [O I] flux ratio is 17.2 +/- 9.2. The [O I] 63 um line correlates with Lbol, but not with the time-averaged outflow rate derived from low-J CO maps. [C II] emission is in general not local to the source. The sample Lbol increased by 1.25 (1.06) and Tbol decreased to 0.96 (0.96) of mean (median) values with the inclusion of the Herschel data. Most CO rotational diagrams are characterized by two optically thin components ( = (0.70 +/- 1.12) x 10^49 total particles). N_CO correlates strongly with Lbol, but neither Trot nor N_CO(warm)/N_CO(hot) correlates with Lbol, suggesting that the total excited gas is related to the current source luminosity, but that the excitation is primarily determined by the physics of the interaction (e.g., UV- heating/shocks). Rotational temperatures for H2O ( = 194 +/- 85 K) and OH ( = 183 +/- 117 K) are generally lower than for CO, and much of the scatter in the observations about the best fit is attributed to differences in excitation conditions and optical depths amongst the detected lines.

description: CdSe-Au networks were synthesized by a colloidal chemistry technique. They entail CdSe nanorods with a diameter of ~10 nm and a length of ~40 nm, which are joined together by Au domains (~5 nm). Individual networks were positioned by AC dielectrophoresis between bow-tie electrodes with a gap of ~100 nm and their conductivity as well as the photoelectrical properties were investigated. Nanorod networks, with multiple Au domains on the nanorod surface, displayed stable conductivity that was not sensitive to blue laser light illumination. Such nanostructures were transformed by thermal annealing to networks with Au domains only at the nanorod tips. In this system the overall conductivity was reduced, but a clear photocurrent signal could be detected, manifesting semiconductor behavior.

description: We study the distribution of 2-Selmer ranks in the family of quadratic twists of an elliptic curve E over an arbitrary number field K. Under the assumption that Gal(K(E[2])/K) = S_3 we show that the density (counted in a non-standard way) of twists with Selmer rank r exists for all positive integers r, and is given via an equilibrium distribution, depending only on a single parameter (the `disparity'), of a certain Markov process that is itself independent of E and K. More generally, our results also apply to p-Selmer ranks of twists of 2-dimensional self-dual F_p-representations of the absolute Galois group of K by characters of order p.

description: Curcumin analogs are synthesized with solid support under the concept of green chemistry, i.e. in the absence of organic solvents or hazardous chemicals using silica-sulfuric acid under solvent free conditions. Their structures are established through infrared, NMR, and mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The antibacterial activities of the synthesized curcumin analogs are evaluated against three human pathogenic Gram negative bacteria, taking ciprofloxacin as standard compound. Most compounds exhibit some antibacterial activity, with an efficacy depending upon nature and position of the phenyl substituents.

description: We present a catalog of gamma-ray sources at energies above 10 GeV based on data from the Large Area Telescope (LAT) accumulated during the first three years of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope mission. The first Fermi-LAT catalog of >10GeV sources (1FHL) has 514 sources. For each source we present location, spectrum, a measure of variability, and associations with cataloged sources at other wavelengths. We found that 449 (87%) could be associated with known sources, of which 393 (76% of the 1FHL sources) are active galactic nuclei. Of the 27 sources associated with known pulsars, we find 20 (12) to have significant pulsations in the range >10GeV (>25GeV). In this work we also report that, at energies above 10 GeV, unresolved sources account for 27+/-8 % of the isotropic gamma-ray background, while the unresolved Galactic population contributes only at the few percent level to the Galactic diffuse background. We also highlight the subset of the 1FHL sources that are best candidates for detection at energies above 50-100 GeV with current and future ground-based gamma-ray observatories.

description: NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.

A method has been developed which makes possible the determination of the time to make a horizontal turn of any number of degrees, and also the control deflections necessary to make the turn. Accelerations encountered during the maneuver are easily obtained from the calculations which are used in obtaining the maneuvering time.

The method worked out is based on the six fundamental stability equations. The major assumptions are angle of bank [...], and no sideslip during turn i.e. V = 0.  Only the use of simple wind tunnel data is necessary.

Several cases are worked out for different bank assumptions for a twin engine attack bomber. The bank assumption which gives the most reasonable control deflections and accelerations during the maneuver is one which produced a helix angle of 0.090 and maximum bank of 75°. For this particular bank assumption calculations were carried out for sea level and 15,000 ft. altitude.

Calculations were also carried through for sea level and 15,000 ft. for a modified single engine airplane of same weight and horsepower as the twin engine one, using the bank assumption which gave [...] max. of 75°.

A method is presented for the direct calculation of the stability derivative, M[...], from wind tunnel data.

description: We compute the full O(alpha_s) supersymmetric QCD corrections for neutralino-stop co-annihilation into electroweak gauge and Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We show that these annihilation channels are phenomenologically relevant within the so-called phenomenological MSSM, in particular in the light of the observation of a Higgs-like particle with a mass of about 126 GeV at the LHC. We present in detail our calculation, including the renormalization scheme, the infrared treatment, and the kinematical subtleties to be addressed. Numerical results for the co-annihilation cross sections and the predicted neutralino relic density are presented. We demonstrate that the impact of including the corrections on the cosmologically preferred region of parameter space is larger than the current experimental uncertainty from WMAP data.

description: In this survey, we review the results on turbulence for the generalised Burgers equation on the circle: u_t+f'(u)u_x=νu_{xx}+η,\ x \in S^1=\R/\Z, obtained by A.Biryuk and the author in \cite{Bir01,BorK,BorW,BorD}. Here, f is smooth and strongly convex, whereas the constant 0=0, with the same value of δfor upper and lower bounds, are obtained. These results yield sharp bounds for small-scale quantities characterising turbulence, confirming the physical predictions \cite{BK07}.

description: TiO2-SiO2 mixed oxides in ratios between 20:80 and 80:20 have been prepared using a sol-gel method. To make full use of catalysis, optimization conditions such as SiO2 content, solution pH, and catalyst loading were investigated. The photocatalysts were characterized spectroscopically as nanoparticles of small crystallite size. Their efficiency for UV-A light induced photocatalytic degradation of amoxicillin and ofloxacin was evaluated, with 80% TiO2-20% SiO2 being the most active, resulting in complete mineralization and non-toxicity. The catalyst shows some recyclability up to the seventh cycle.

description: Neutron diffraction measurements are presented exploring the magnetic and structural phase behaviors of the candidate J$_{eff}=1/2$ Mott insulating iridate Sr$_2$IrO$_4$. Comparisons are drawn between the correlated magnetism in this single layer system and its bilayer analog Sr$_3$Ir$_2$O$_7$ where both materials exhibit magnetic domains originating from crystallographic twinning and comparable moment sizes. Weakly temperature dependent superlattice peaks violating the reported tetragonal space group of Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ are observed supporting the notion of a lower structural symmetry arising from a high temperature lattice distortion, and we use this to argue that moments orient along a unique in-plane axis demonstrating an orthorhombic symmetry in the resulting spin structure. Our results demonstrate that the correlated spin order and structural phase behaviors in both single and bilayer Sr$_{n+1}$Ir$_{n}$O$_{3n+1}$ systems are remarkably similar and suggest comparable correlation strengths in each system.

I. Design and application of piezoceramic transducers to transient pressure measurements. II. Some measurements of curvature and thickness of reflecting normal shocks at low initial pressures

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology

description: A small pressure transducer, using the piezoelectric properties of a manufactured ceramic, was designed, constructed and installed in the end plate of the GALCIT 17-inch shock tube to obtain high-speed measurements of the pressure field behind a reflecting shock.

The design problem for piezoceramic pressure transducers and some possible solutions are discussed in detail. Results of transducer calibration and recommendations for improvement of the instrument are presented.

An initial program to determine the curvature of a shock at low initial pressures was run concurrently with calibration of five of the above pressure transducers. The results of this program are described in as much detail as the data obtained to date will permit.

At an initial pressure of 30 microns in the GALCIT 17-inch tube, the shock obtained at a Mach number of about 7.5 in argon is observed to have a total curvature of approximately 10 millimeters, or approximately two per cent of the tube diameter. The shock thickness observed under these conditions is approximately 5 millimeters.  These results indicate that it may be entirely possible to obtain good optical measurements inside the shock, but that it may be necessary to resort to special techniques to avoid optical distortion caused by curvature.

description: Development on instrumentation and algorithms for chemical structure and chemical kinetics are discussed in this thesis. In Chapter 2 and 3, a consensus equilibrium formalism is introduced for the integration of multiple quantum chemical calculations of molecular and electronic structure. In multi-agent consensus equilibrium (MACE), iterative updates in structure optimization are intertwined with the net output, representing an equilibrium balance between multiple computational agents. MACE structure calculations from the integration of multiple low-level electronic structure calculations were compared favorably for small molecules, with results evaluated through comparison with higher level structure (CCSD). Notably, MACE results differed substantially from the average of the independent computational agent outputs, with MACE yielding improved agreement with higher-level CCSD calculations. The primary focus is on the development of the mathematical framework for implementing MACE for molecular and electronic structure determination, these initial preliminary results suggest potential promise for the use of MACE to improve the accuracy of low-level electronic structure calculations through the integration of multiple parallel methods. In Chapter 4 and 5, Fourier- transform fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FT-FRAP) coupled with periodically comb pattern was demonstrated to monitor the controlled-release mechanisms of microparticles. By monitoring the time-lapse recovery patterns, spatial mobility were decoded in FT domain. Due to the nature of mobility encoded in FT domain, substantial improvements were demonstrated in terms of enhanced signal-to-noise, simplified mathematics, low requirements of sampling, and multiphoton compatibility to probe inside samples. FT-FRAP was able to discriminate and quantify the internal diffusion and exchange to higher mobility in fitting the recovery kinetics within microparticles. Theoretical modeling of exchange and diffusion- controlled release revealed that both RS and RL microparticles exhibited similar exchange decay, with RL having a much higher diffusion decay. The microscopically higher diffusion of RL microparticles is consistent with the dissolution performance of RL microparticles macroscopically. The distinction of controlled release mechanisms provided by FT-FRAP is important to understand and further optimize the design of controlled release systems for GI tract.
