description: Current-voltage characteristics of a single-electron transistor with a vibrating quantum dot were calculated assuming vibrons to be in a coherent (non-equilibrium) state. For a large amplitude of quantum dot oscillations we predict strong suppression of conductance and the lifting of polaronic blockade by bias voltage in the form of steps in $I-V$ curves. The height of the steps differs from the prediction of the Franck-Condon theory (valid for equilibrated vibrons) and the current saturates at lower voltages then for the case, when vibrons are in equilibrium state.

description: We propose to use the MT2 concept to measure the masses of all particles in SUSY-like events with two unobservable, identical particles. To this end we generalize the usual notion of MT2 and define a new MT2(n,p,c) variable, which can be applied to various subsystem topologies, as well as the full event topology. We derive analytic formulas for its endpoint MT2{max}(n,p,c) as a function of the unknown test mass Mc of the final particle in the subchain and the transverse momentum pT due to radiation from the initial state. We show that the endpoint functions MT2{max}(n,p,c)(Mc,pT) may exhibit three different types of kinks and discuss the origin of each type. We prove that the subsystem MT2(n,p,c) variables by themselves already yield a sufficient number of measurements for a complete determination of the mass spectrum (including the overall mass scale). As an illustration, we consider the simple case of a decay chain with up to three heavy particles, X2 -> X1 -> X0, which is rather problematic for all other mass measurement methods. We propose three different MT2-based methods, each of which allows a complete determination of the masses of particles X0, X1 and X2. The first method only uses MT2(n,p,c) endpoint measurements at a single fixed value of the test mass Mc. In the second method the unknown mass spectrum is fitted to one or more endpoint functions MT2{max}(n,p,c)(Mc,pT) exhibiting a kink. The third method is hybrid, combining MT2 endpoints with measurements of kinematic edges in invariant mass distributions. As a practical application of our methods, we show that the dilepton W+W- and tt-bar samples at the Tevatron can be used for an independent determination of the masses of the top quark, the W boson and the neutrino, without any prior assumptions.

title: Addressing Endogeneity of Casino, Crime and Regional Economy: A Case of Las Vegas, Nevada
Creators: name: Bao, Wei
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: This paper presents an approach to investigate the statistical relationship among casino activities, crime rates and number of visitors in Las Vegas, NV. Numerous studies have attempted to answer the question whether casino gaming increases crime rates. Casino gaming is statistically correlated with more crimes when researchers use the reported crime rate, i.e., ratio of the number of crimes to local population. However, there is no statistical relationship between the two when researchers use the visitor adjusted crime rate (henceforth adjusted crime rate), i.e., ratio of the number of crimes to local population and visitors, in their analyses. Somewhat surprisingly, previous studies have failed to consider the endogeneity issue, i.e., coincidental impacts of casino activities and crimes. This paper addresses endogeneity among variables by estimating the impact of casino activities on crimes and also impact of crimes on casino activities. To deal with endogeneity, a system of three equations representing casino activities, the number of visitors, and visitor adjusted crime rates is estimated using three stage least squares.
Elasticity of the casino revenue with respect to the adjusted crime rate is estimated to be +-0.22+-0.1 and elasticity of the adjusted crime rate with respect to casino revenue to be 0.29+-0.27. In addition, using the regression of the personal income on the casino revenue in Las Vegas, the impact of the adjusted crime rate on the regional economy is estimated. Results show that one percent increase in crime leads to cumulative decreases in the personal income by $105+-$44 per household per year.
Policy implications based on findings in this research are i) efforts to reduce crime can be effective tool to boost the regional economy (in Las Vegas), ii) cutting the link between casino gambling and crime is important; to cut the link, pay more attention on education or regulation to reduce pathological gamblers, usurious loans and the fraud related to casino gambling, and iii) improving the image of casino gambling that are related to crimes and thus attracting more visitors.

description: We study the effects of demographic stochasticity on the long-term dynamics of biological coevolution models of community assembly. The noise is induced in order to check the validity of deterministic population dynamics. While mutualistic communities show little dependence on the stochastic population fluctuations, predator-prey models show strong dependence on the stochasticity, indicating the relevance of the finiteness of the populations. For a predator-prey model, the noise causes drastic decreases in diversity and total population size. The communities that emerge under influence of the noise consist of species strongly coupled with each other and have stronger linear stability around the fixed-point populations than the corresponding noiseless model. The dynamics on evolutionary time scales for the predator-prey model are also altered by the noise. Approximate $1/f$ fluctuations are observed with noise, while $1/f^{2}$ fluctuations are found for the model without demographic noise.

description: The present paper is focused on the evaluation of efficiency of soil-conservation technologies to reduce surface water runoff in Central Bohemia Region. In the last years, there has been an increase in maize planting on hillslope plots due to the construction of many biogas plants in conditions of Czech Republic. It enhances the risk of water erosion because the occurrence of sloping lands in the Czech Republic is high. To evaluate the technologies of stand establishment a field trial was laid out with four treatments of maize planting. The trial was laid out on a plot with light soil and slope of around 12%. It was a multi-year trial. To measure erosion parameters a rainfall simulator was used (measurement of surface runoff). The values obtained in two seasons show a positive effect of the soil surface cover by organic matter when reduced soil tillage was used. Soil loss also decreased at the same time compared to treatments with conventional soil tillage. It was found up to six-fold reduction in surface runoff by appropriate soil tillage technology during two seasons of measurement.

description: In the general classical picture of pebble-based core growth, planetary cores grow by accretion of single pebble species. The growing planet may reach the so-called pebble isolation mass, at which it induces a pressure bump that blocks inward drifting pebbles exterior to its orbit, thereby stalling core growth by pebble accretion. In recent hydrodynamic simulations, pebble filtration by the pressure bump depends on several parameters including core mass, disc structure, turbulent viscosity and pebble size. We investigated how accretion of multiple, instead of single, pebble species affects core growth rates, and how the dependence of pebble isolation mass on turbulent viscosity and pebble size sets the final core masses. We performed numerical simulations in viscous 1D disc, where maximal grain sizes were regulated by grain growth, fragmentation and drift limits. We confirm that core growth rates and final core masses are sensitive to three key parameters: threshold velocity at which pebbles fragment on collision, turbulent viscosity and distribution of pebble species, which yield a diversity of planetary cores. With accretion of multiple pebble species, planetary cores can grow pretty fast, reaching over 30 -- 40 $M_{\rm{E}}$ in mass. Potential cores of cold gas giants were able to form from embryos initially implanted as far as 50 AU. Our results suggest that accretion of multi-species pebbles could explain: the estimated 25 -- 45 $M_{\rm{E}}$ heavy elements abundance inside Jupiter's core; massive cores of extrasolar planets; disc rings and gaps at wider orbits; early and rapid formation of planetary bodies.

description: The inclusion of rotationally-induced mixing in stellar evolution can alter the structure and composition of presupernova stars. We survey the effects of progenitor rotation on nucleosynthetic yields in Population III and II supernovae using the new adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) code CASTRO. We examine spherical explosions in 15, 25 and 40 solar mass stars at Z = 0 and 10^-4 solar metallicity with three explosion energies and two rotation rates. Rotation in the Z = 0 models resulted in primary nitrogen production and a stronger hydrogen burning shell which led all models to die as red supergiants. On the other hand, the Z=10^-4 solar metallicity models that included rotation ended their lives as compact blue stars. Because of their extended structure, the hydrodynamics favors more mixing and less fallback in the metal free stars than the Z = 10^-4 models. As expected, higher energy explosions produce more enrichment and less fallback than do lower energy explosions, and less massive stars produce more enrichment and leave behind smaller remnants than do more massive stars. We compare our nucleosynthetic yields to the chemical abundances in the three most iron-poor stars yet found and reproduce the abundance pattern of one, HE 0557-4840, with a zero metallicity 15 solar mass, 2.4 x 10^51 erg supernova. A Salpeter IMF averaged integration of our yields for Z=0 models with explosion energies of 2.4x10^51 ergs or less is in good agreement with the abundances observed in larger samples of extremely metal-poor stars, provided 15 solar mass stars are included. Since the abundance patterns of extremely metal-poor stars likely arise from a representative sample of progenitors, our yields suggest that low-mass supernovae contributed the bulk of the metals to the early universe.

title: Transient Effects on Dynamic Torque for Butterfly Valves
Creators: name: Price, Trevor N.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Butterfly valves are versatile components widely used in hydraulic systems as shutoff and throttling valves. Butterfly valve components must be able to withstand the forces and torques that are generated with use. Dynamic torque data are usually obtained in a test lab for a variety of steady state flow conditions; however the dynamic torque under transient (unsteady flow) conditions may be significantly different than that found in the laboratory. If a valve is closed too fast, especially in long systems, large transient pressures are generated and travel as waves through the pipeline. These transient waves increase the pressure difference across the valve, which in turn increases the dynamic torque that is applied to the valve. The effects of the increased dynamic torque are more significant in larger butterfly valves since dynamic torque is a function of the diameter raised to the third power. If the increased dynamic torque is larger than the torque that the valve was built to withstand, valve or actuator failure could result. The objective of this research was to examine the effect of transients on dynamic torque in a 48-inch diameter butterfly valve operation as a function of pipe length and valve closure time (starting at full open) and compare the results to traditional steady state dynamic torque data. It was found that longer pipeline lengths along with smaller valve closure times created the largest percent difference in transient dynamic torque from the steady state dynamic torque. This difference was as high as 711% in a 20,000-foot long pipeline when the valve was closed in 36 seconds. Transient effects should be considered in the design and manufacturing of butterfly valves as well as during the operation of the valve once it is installed.

A monograph of the genus H̲y̲g̲r̲o̲h̲y̲p̲n̲u̲m̲ Lindb.(musci)
Creators: name: Jamieson, David William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The genus Hygrohypnum Lindb. (Musci) is monographed for the world for the first time. Thirty-nine species and a large number of subspecific taxa recognised at the inception of this study were investigated using traditional tools of herbarium taxonomy, extensive field work throughout North America and the experimental cultivation of ten North American species in a uniform environment. These studies show that Hygrohypnum is a Northern Hemisphere genus, in which the important taxonomic characters are: stem anatomy, shape of the leaf and its apex, leaf concavity, costa structure, alar cell differentiation, length of the marginal leaf cells, sexuality, structure of the perichaetial leaves and the annulus. Based on these characters the following 16 species are recognised: H. alpinum (Lindb.) Loesk., H. duriusculum (De Not.) nov. comb., H. smithii (Sw. in Lilj.) Broth., H. bestii (Ren. et Card.) Holz., H. cochlearifolium (Vent. in De Not.) Broth., H. norvegicum (Schimp.) Amann, H. molle (Hedw.) Loesk., H. styriacum (Limpr.) Broth., H. luridum (Hedw.) Jenn., H. alpestre (Hedw.) Loesk., H. polare (Lindb.) Loesk., H. ochraceum (Wils. ex Turn.) Loesk., H. eugyrium (Schmip.) Broth., H. subeugyrium (Ren. et Card.) Grout, H. montanum (Lindb.) Broth., and H. closteri (Aust.) Grout. Hygrohypnum alpinum and H. styriacum are new in Western North America and H. bestii, known previously as a Western North American endemic, is now shown to be on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and around the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The taxonomic treatment presents a generic description and keys to the species and provides each species with a description, a discussion of variability and taxonomic matters, illustrations and a distribution map. The status of each excluded taxon is discussed. The generic concept and the possible relationships among the recognised species are examined by comparing the author's opinion with information derived from an ordination and two cluster analyses.

description: We describe a parallel algorithm for solving the time-independent 3d Schrodinger equation using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. We introduce an optimized parallelization scheme that reduces communication overhead between computational nodes. We demonstrate that the compute time, t, scales inversely with the number of computational nodes as t ~ N_nodes^(-0.95 +/- 0.04). This makes it possible to solve the 3d Schrodinger equation on extremely large spatial lattices using a small computing cluster. In addition, we present a new method for precisely determining the energy eigenvalues and wavefunctions of quantum states based on a symmetry constraint on the FDTD initial condition. Finally, we discuss the usage of multi-resolution techniques in order to speed up convergence on extremely large lattices.

Negations and Meets in Topos Quantum Theory

description: The daseinisation is a mapping from an orthomodular lattice in ordinary quantum theory into a Heyting algebra in topos quantum theory. While distributivity does not always hold in orthomodular lattices, it does in Heyting algebras. We investigate the conditions under which negations and meets are preserved by daseinisation, and the condition that any element in the Heyting algebra transformed through daseinisation corresponds to an element in the original orthomodular lattice. We show that these conditions are equivalent, and that, not only in the case of non-distributive orthomodular lattices but also in the case of Boolean algebras containing more than four elements, the Heyting algebra transformed from the orthomodular lattice through daseinisation will contain an element that does not correspond to any element of the original orthomodular lattice.

description: South Korea and Japan usually cooperate but occasionally experience periods of conflict that disrupt their relationship. This paper seeks to explain those sporadic periods of conflict using a dynamic theory. This theory posits that South Korean leadership power status coupled with Japanese action on sensitive issues will lead to a period of conflict.

description: The strong Coulomb interaction in monolayer semiconductors represents a unique opportunity for the realization of Wigner crystals without external magnetic fields. In this work, we predict that the formation of monolayer Wigner crystals can be detected by their terahertz response spectrum, which exhibits a characteristic sequence of internal optical transitions. We apply the density matrix formalism to derive the internal quantum structure and the optical conductivity of the Wigner crystal and to microscopically analyze the multi-peak shape of the obtained terahertz spectrum. Moreover, we predict a characteristic shift of the peak position as function of charge density for different atomically thin materials and show how our results can be generalized to an arbitrary two-dimensional system.

description: We have studied the consequences of breaking the CPT symmetry in the neutrino sector, using the expected high-energy neutrino flux from distant cosmological sources such as active galaxies. For this purpose we have assumed three different hypotheses for the neutrino production model, characterised by the flavour fluxes at production ϕ_e^0:ϕ_μ^0:ϕ_τ^0 = 1:2:0, 0:1:0, and 1:0:0, and studied the theoretical and experimental expectations for the muon-neutrino flux at Earth, ϕ_μ, and for the flavour ratios at Earth, R = ϕ_μ/ϕ_e and S = ϕ_τ/ϕ_μ. CPT violation (CPTV) has been implemented by adding an energy-independent term to the standard neutrino oscillation Hamiltonian. This introduces three new mixing angles, two new eigenvalues and three new phases, all of which have currently unknown values. We have varied the new mixing angles and eigenvalues within certain bounds, together with the parameters associated to pure standard oscillations. Our results indicate that, for the models 1:2:0 and 0:1:0, it might possible to find large deviations for ϕ_μ, R, and S between the cases without and with CPTV, provided the CPTV eigenvalues lie within 10^{-29}-10^{-27} GeV, or above. Moreover, if CPTV exists, there are certain values of R and S that can be accounted for by up to three production models. If no CPTV were observed, we could set limits on the CPTV eigenvalues of the same order. Detection prospects calculated using IceCube suggest that for the models 1:2:0 and 0:1:0, the modifications due to CPTV are larger and more clearly separable from the standard-oscillations predictions. We conclude that IceCube is potentially able to detect CPTV but that, depending on the values of the CPTV parameters, there could be a mis-determination of the neutrino production model.

description: A camera's image signal processor (ISP) is responsible for taking the mosaiced and noisy image signal from the image sensor and processing it such a way that an end-result image is produced that is informative and accurately captures the scene. Real-time video capture in photon-limited environments remains a challenge for many ISP's today. In these conditions, the image signal is dominated by the photon shot noise. Deep learning methods show promise in extracting the underlying image signal from the noise, but modern AI-based ISPs are too computationally complex to be realized as a fast and efficient hardware ISP. An ISP algorithm, BLADE2 has been designed, which leverages AI in a computationally conservative manner to demosaic and denoise low-light images. The original implementation of this algorihtm is in Python/PyTorch. This Thesis explores taking BLADE2 and implementing it on a general purpose GPU via a suite of Nvidia optimization toolkits, as well as a low-level implementation in C/C++, bringing the algorithm closer to FPGA realization. The GPU implementation demonstrated significant throughput gains and the C/C++ implementation demonstrated the feasibility of further hardware development.

description: A prototype of the CMOS pixel sensor named SUPIX-1 has been fabricated and tested in order to investigate the feasibility of a pixelated tracker for a proposed Higgs factory, namely, the Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC). The sensor, taped out with a 180 nm CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) process, consists of nine different pixel arrays varying in pixel pitches, diode sizes and geometries in order to study the particle detection performance of enlarged pixels. The test was carried out with a Fe-55 radioactive source. Two soft X-ray peaks observed were used to calibrate the charge to voltage factor of the sensor. The pixel-wise equivalent noise charge, charge collection efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio were evaluated. A reconstruction method for clustering pixels of a signal has been developed and the cluster-wise performance was studied as well. The test results show that pixels with the area as large as of $21μ$m$\times 84μ$m have satisfactory noise level and charge collection performance, meeting gerenal requirements for a pixel sensor. This contribution demonstrates that the CMOS pixel sensor with enlarged pitches, using the CIS technology, can be used in tracking for upcoming collider detectors akin to the CEPC.

description: We extend the hadronic SU(3) non-linear sigma model to include quark degrees of freedom. The choice of potential for the Polyakov loop as a function of temperature and chemical potential allows us to construct a realistic phase diagram from the analysis of the order parameters of the system. These parameters are the chiral condensate, for the chiral symmetry restoration and the Polyakov loop, for the deconfinement to quark matter. Besides reproducing lattice QCD results, for zero and low chemical potential, we are in agreement with neutron star observations for zero temperature.

Hardy’s allusions to the visual arts : The return of the native, Tess of the D’Urbervilles and Jude the obscure
Creators: name: Pringle, Heather Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is concerned with Thomas Hardy's use of visual art allusion in The Return of the Native. Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure, three of Hardy's major novels in which the technique of visual art allusion is most clearly and consistently exemplified. The visual art allusions in these novels are essentially of two different types. The first, which I shall call overt allusions, explicitly name an artist, a school of art or a specific work of art. The second, which I shall call submerged, do not explicitly name an artist, a school of art or a specific work of art, but are recognized primarily by piecing together fragmentary details within a scene. Both types of allusions function both locally at the level of the individual episode to illuminate theme at that stage of the action, and, in combination, generally at the level of larger pattern, to illuminate and enrich the thematic meaning of the novel. The patterns formed by these allusions are of two different kinds as well. The first type of pattern, dependent on a central or key pictorial allusion is found in both The Return of the Native and Jude the Obscure, while the second type, not dependent on a central allusion, is found in Tess of the D'Urbervilles. The various patterns formed by the visual art allusions in each of these novels suggest that these three have in common a certain theme, the struggle of an idealistic or free spirit to reach spiritual fulfillment. The discussion of these novels in chronological order makes clear a change in attitude on Hardy's part toward this theme.
title: Modeling the Liquid, Nasal, AND Vowel Transitions OF North American English Using Linear Predictive Filters and Line Spectral Frequency Interpolations for Use in a Speech Synthesis System
Creators: name: Nieveen, Jacob G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: A speech synthesis system with an original user interface is being developed. In contrast to most modern synthesizers, this system is not text to speech (TTS). This system allows the user to control vowels, vowel transitions, and consonant sounds through a simple 2-d vowel pad and consonant buttons. In this system, a synthesized glottal waveform is passed through vowel filters to create vowel sounds. Several filters were calculated from recordings of vowels using linear predictive coding (LPC). The rest of the vowels in the North American English vowel space were found using interpolation techniques with line spectral frequencies (LSF). The effectiveness and naturalness of the speech created from transitions between these filters was tested.
In addition to the vowel filters, filters for nasal and liquid consonants were found using LPC analysis. Transition filters between these consonants and vowels were determined using LSFs. These transitions were tested as well.

description: We present a new algorithm to compute the integral closure of a reduced Noetherian ring in its total ring of fractions. A modification, applicable in positive characteristic, where actually all computations are over the original ring, is also described. The new algorithm of this paper has been implemented in Singular, for localizations of affine rings with respect to arbitrary monomial orderings. Benchmark tests show that it is in general much faster than any other implementation of normalization algorithms known to us.

description: Computational searches for new materials are naturally turning from binary systems, to ternary and other multicomponent systems, and beyond. Here, we select the industrially-relevant metals titanium and aluminium and report the results of an extensive structure prediction study on the ternary titanium-carbon-oxygen (Ti-C-O) and aluminium-carbon-oxygen (Al-C-O) systems. We map out for the first time the full phase stability of Ti-C-O and Al-C-O compounds using first-principles calculations, through simple, efficient and highly parallel random structure searching in conjunction with techniques based on complex network theory. These phase stabilities emerge naturally from our `data agnostic' approach, in which we map stable compounds without recourse to structural databases or other prior knowledge. A surprising find is the predicted ambient pressure stability of octet-rule-fulfiling titanium and aluminium carbonate: Ti(CO3)$_2$ and Al$_2$(CO3)$_3$, neither of which has to our knowledge been synthesised before. These materials could potentially act as carbon sequestering compounds. Our searches discover several additional stable and metastable ternary compounds supported by the Ti-C-O and Al-C-O systems.

An ethnographic study of the online synthwave community, a community of practice – by a composer and performer
Creators: name: Ward, Jessica
Publisher: name: Leeds Beckett University
Year: 2023

description: Online music communities are a vital method of genre formation in the 21st century. In a Web 2.0 (or 3.0) virtual space which transcends geographical boundaries, a multitude of artists, audiences, musicians, producers and performers come together to negotiate subcultural capital in a collective capacity. With new subcultural styles, rituals, practices, and cultural disseminations, how can we assess the activities of an online community and their role in the formation of a genre?
This 5-year and 6-month (2017-2023) ethnographic study examined the ecosystem of the online synthwave community, a 21st century style of music which both privileges and reimagines 1980s musical and cultural aesthetics. It includes autoethnographic work, with music composition, production and performance being key tenets of the author’s positionality. Paired with an emic viewpoint, this thesis makes visible tacit knowledge of the synthwave creative process, as well as providing rich and experiential subcultural detail about the online community.
The research concluded that the synthwave community is an active community of practice with a defined set of musical, stylistic, technological and subcultural rules. By examining the tensions observable within the outputs, interactions, and discourses of this community of practice, as well as through the author’s participation as a creator, the research addresses how online music communities (including creators and audiences) construct and negotiate parameters of an emergent musical style.
The research is (to date) the first ethnographic account of the online synthwave community and provides a first-hand telling of its ecosystem as a community of practice. Ultimately, this research traces the genre formation of an ‘internet-based creative practice’ (Born, 2018, p.606) known as synthwave. Key implications of the research findings implore the potential for making connections between communities of practice and genre formation in other areas of popular music, particularly of genres which exist primarily (or were formed initially) online.

Majorana Zero Modes in Ferromagnetic Wires without Spin-Orbit Coupling

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: We present a novel controllable platform for engineering Majorana zero modes. The platform consists of a ferromagnetic metallic wire placed among conventional superconductors, which are in proximity to ferromagnetic insulators. We demonstrate that Majorana zero modes emerge localised at the edges of the ferromagnetic wire, due to the interplay of the applied supercurrents and the induced by proximity exchange fields with conventional superconductivity. Our mechanism does not rely on the pairing of helical fermions by combining conventional superconductivity with spin-orbit coupling, but rather exploits the misalignment between the magnetization of the ferromagnetic insulators and that of the ferromagnetic wire.
Subterahertz Radius and Limb Brightening of the Sun Derived from SST and ALMA

description: Measurements of the radius and limb brightening of the Sun provide important information about the solar atmosphere structure and temperature. The solar radius increases as the observation at radio frequency decreases, indicating that each emission originates higher in the atmosphere. Thus, different layers of the solar atmosphere can be probed by observing at multiple wavelengths. In this work, we determined the average radius and limb brightening at 100, 212, 230, and 405 GHz, using data from the Solar Submillimeter Telescope and ALMA's single-dish observations. For the first time, limb brightening values for frequencies of 212 and 405 GHz were estimated. At sub-THz frequencies, the observed limb brightening may affect the solar radius measurements. We use two different and well known approaches to determine the radius: the half-power method and the inflection-point method. We investigate how the antenna beam size and the limb brightening level, LB, can affect the radius measurements using both methods. Our results showed that the inflection-point method is the least affected by these parameters, and should thus be used for solar radius estimates at radio wavelengths. The measured average radii are 968"~$\pm$~3" (100 GHz), 963"~$\pm$~3" (212 GHz), 963"~$\pm$~2" (230 GHz), and 963"~$\pm$~5" (405 GHz). Finally, we used forward modeling to estimate the ranges of LB of the solar disk resulting in 5%-19% (100 GHz), 2%-12% (212 GHz), 6%-18% (230 GHz), and 3%-17% (405 GHz). Both radius and limb brightening estimates agree with previous measurements reported in the literature.
