description: Dynamic analysis of embedded firmware is a necessary capability for many security tasks, e.g., vulnerability detection. Rehosting is a technique that enables dynamic analysis by facilitating the execution of firmware in a host environment decoupled from the actual hardware. Current rehosting techniques focus on high-fidelity execution of the entire firmware. Consequently, these techniques try to execute firmware in an emulated environment, with precise models of hardware (i.e., peripheral) interactions. However, these techniques are hard to scale and have various drawbacks. Therefore, a novel take on rehosting is proposed by focusing on the application components and their interactions with the firmware without the need to model hardware dependencies. This is achieved by rehosting the embedded application as a Linux application. In addition to avoiding precise peripheral modeling, such a rehosting technique enables the use of existing dynamic analysis techniques on these embedded applications. The feasibility of this approach is demonstrated first by manually performing the rehosting on real-world embedded applications. The challenges in each of the phases – retargeting to x86-64, peripheral handling, and fuzzing the rehosted applications are elaborated. Furthermore, automated steps for retargeting to the x86-64 and peripheral handling are developed. The peripheral handling achieves 89% accuracy if reserved regions are also considered. The testing of these rehosted applications found 2 previously unknown defects in driver components.

description: We show that, if graphene is subjected to the potential from an external superlattice, a band gap develops at the Dirac point provided the superlattice potential has broken inversion symmetry. As a numerical example, we calculate the band structure of graphene in the presence of an external potential due to periodically patterned gates arranged in a triangular graphene superlattice (TGS) with broken inversion symmetry, and find that a band gap is created at both the original and "second generation" Dirac point. The gap can be controlled, in principle, by changing the external potential and the lattice constant of the TGS.

description: Condensable species are crucial in shaping planetary climate. A wide range of planetary climate systems involve understanding non-dilute condensable substances and their influence on climate dynamics. There has been progress on large-scale dynamical effects and on 1D convection parameterization, but resolved 3D moist convection remains unexplored in non-dilute conditions, though it can have a profound impact on temperature/humidity profiles and cloud structure. We tackle this problem for pure-steam atmospheres using three-dimensional, high-resolution numerical simulations of convection in post-runaway atmospheres where the water reservoir at the surface has been exhausted. We show that the atmosphere is comprised of two characteristic regions, an upper condensing region dominated by gravity waves and a lower noncondensing region characterized by convective overturning cells. Velocities in the condensing region are much smaller than those in the lower noncondensing region, and the horizontal temperature variation is small overall. Condensation in the thermal photosphere is largely driven by radiative cooling and tends to be statistically homogeneous. Some condensation also happens deeper, near the boundary of the condensing region, due to triggering by gravity waves and convective penetrations and exhibit random patchiness. This qualitative structure is insensitive to varying model parameters, but quantitative details may differ. Our results confirm theoretical expectations that atmospheres close to the pure-steam limit do not have organized deep convective plumes in the condensing region. The generalized convective parameterization scheme discussed in Ding & Pierrehumbert (2016) is appropriate to handle the basic structure of atmospheres near the pure-steam limit but is difficult to capture gravity waves and their mixing that appear in 3D convection-resolving models.

title: The Cost of Primacy: The Potential Impacts on American Domestic Health
Creators: name: Crosby, Peter James
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: While scholars, soldiers and politicians have argued about the international consequences of American grand strategy, relatively little attention has been paid to the potential domestic consequences of American hegemony versus isolationism. This paper is an effort to start the process of understanding the relationship between American primacy (the current strategy) and its domestic impact. It looks at general areas of measurement, economic and social indicators, to determine if primacy has a positive or negative impact on the American people. Though additional research is necessary, this paper suggests primacy has not had the negative consequences suggested by proponents of isolationism.

description: In this paper I present a classifier for automatic identification of linguistic politeness in Hindi texts. I have used the manually annotated corpus of over 25,000 blog comments to train an SVM. Making use of the discursive and interactional approaches to politeness the paper gives an exposition of the normative, conventionalised politeness structures of Hindi. It is seen that using these manually recognised structures as features in training the SVM significantly improves the performance of the classifier on the test set. The trained system gives a significantly high accuracy of over 77% which is within 2% of human accuracy.

description: 75As NMR and susceptiblity were measured in a Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 single crystal for x=6% for various field H values and orientations. The sharpness of the superconducting and magnetic transitions demonstrates a homogeneity of the Co doping x better than +-0.25%. On the nanometer scale, the paramagnetic part of the NMR spectra is found very anisotropic and very narrow for H//ab which allows to rule out the interpretation of Ref.[6] in terms of strong Co induced electronic inhomogeneities. We propose that a distribution of hyperfine couplings and chemical shifts due to the Co effect on its nearest As explains the observed linewidths and relaxations. All these measurements show that Co substitution induces a very homogeneous electronic doping in BaFe2As2, from nano to micrometer lengthscales, on the contrary to the K doping.

description: Objective: Technological advancements have been introduced, in many forms, into the educational process. Formal teaching and learning are increasingly complemented by new technologies which fostered the active-learning approach. Using anatomical specimens has been proven to be crucial for understanding and learning by students. Our research aims to digitize this resource so that it’s available to students at any time and location.Methods: Our group used photogrammetry to create 3D anatomical models from plastinated specimens. We only used a smartphone with the Polycam App to capture numerous pictures of the same object from different angles and stitch them together. The Polycam app uses the mobile phone’s sensors for image processing and gyroscope to map out where the phone is currently in space. By moving around the model, the app will automatically snap photos in an overlapping manner. The user needs to walk one round around the object. To facilitate selflearning, we used Sketchfab to add labels to important landmarks in the 3D model.Results: Using non-expensive technologies, we were able to create 3D anatomical models to better our students’ learning.Conclusion: Students are quite pleased with the created 3D models. We expect this to have a positive impact on students’ performance and learning experience during our evaluation. 3D images will be helpful for medical and allied health science students to learn anatomy remotely.

description: A low-temperature upturn of the Coulomb drag resistivity measured in an undoped electron-hole bilayer (uEHBL) device, possibly manifesting from exciton formation or condensation, was recently observed. The effects of density imbalance on this upturn are examined. Measurements of drag as a function of temperature in a uEHBL with a 20 nm wide Al$_{.90}$Ga$_{.10}$As barrier layer at various density imbalances are presented. The results show drag increasing as the density of either two dimensional system was reduced, both within and above the upturn temperature regime. A comparison of the data with numerical calculations of drag in the presence of electron-hole pairing fluctuations, which qualitatively reproduce the drag upturn behavior, is also presented. The calculations, however, predict a peak in drag at matched densities, which is not reflected by the measurements.

This information allows one to determine the lower limit of the MCP resistance for stable Planacon operation. The spread of the electron multiplication characteristics for the entire production batch is also presented, indicating the remarkably low voltage requirements of these MCP-PMTs.

In the framework of this project, here we present all necessary methods to automatically identify these luminous events, their lunar impact coordinates, the origin of the impacting meteoroids, as well as the estimation of their physical properties such as mass and size. We tested our methods against confirmed impact events and constructed the meteoroid size frequency distribution of impactors using literature data of the last 20 years. In addition, we present the first lunar impact event observed from the Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur that was detected during the testing phase of our project.

Systematics of High Temperature Perturbation Theory: The Two-Loop Electron Self-Energy in QED

description: In order to investigate the systematics of the loop expansion in high temperature gauge theories beyond the leading order hard thermal loop (HTL) approximation, we calculate the two-loop electron proper self-energy in high temperature QED. The two-loop bubble diagram contains a linear infrared divergence. Even if regulated with a non-zero photon mass M of order of the Debye mass, this infrared sensitivity implies that the two-loop self-energy contributes terms to the fermion dispersion relation that are comparable to or even larger than the next-to-leading-order (NLO) contributions at one-loop. Additional evidence for the necessity of a systematic restructuring of the loop expansion comes from the explicit gauge parameter dependence of the fermion damping rate at both one and two-loops. The leading terms in the high temperature expansion of the two-loop self-energy for all topologies arise from an explicit hard-soft factorization pattern, in which one of the loop integrals is hard, nested inside a second loop integral which is soft. There are no hard-hard contributions to the two-loop Sigma at leading order at high T. Provided the same factorization pattern holds for arbitrary ell loops, the NLO high temperature contributions to the electron self-energy come from ell-1 hard loops factorized with one soft loop integral. This hard-soft pattern is both a necessary condition for the resummation over ell to coincide with the one-loop self-energy calculated with HTL dressed propagators and vertices, and to yield the complete NLO correction to the self-energy at scales ~eT, which is both infrared finite and gauge invariant. We employ spectral representations and the Gaudin method for evaluating finite temperature Matsubara sums, which facilitates the analysis of multi-loop diagrams at high T.

title: Understanding the Relationship Between Livestock Disturbance, The Protocols Used to Measure that Disturbance and Stream Conditions
Creators: name: Goss, Lindsey M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Understanding and managing the effects of livestock grazing on stream systems is of particular concern on federal lands throughout the Interior Columbia River Basin. Land managers monitor three short-term indicators of livestock disturbance (streambank alteration, stubble height, and woody browse) seasonally to ensure livestock grazing does not degrade the long-term health of stream and riparian systems. There are multiple methods for evaluating these indicators; one concern is that different monitoring approaches may have different results. In this research I evaluated three short-term disturbance indicators and compared four different protocols for monitoring streambank alteration at the end of the grazing season. In order for these indicators to be meaningful the methods should be repeatable, related to grazing intensity, representative of cumulative impacts throughout the season, and related to long-term stream conditions. Additionally, it is important that land mangers understand how these indicators respond under different climatic and landscape conditions. In this study I found that the results were dependent on the protocol used and the specific indicator monitored. Measures of streambank alteration and stubble height were moderately repeatable while methods for estimating woody browse were not repeatable. Stubble height and streambank alteration were related to grazing intensity, but the ability to detect alteration at the end of the season was influenced by erosional processes occurring within the grazing season. Streambank alteration was much higher during the drier year of the study because livestock were more dependent of the riparian areas when precipitation was limited. Overall, climatic and geo-physical conditions across the landscape were weakly related to the pattern of disturbance in riparian areas; however, there was higher livestock disturbance in cold arid environments. While the short-term indicators of stubble height and alteration were cumulatively related to long-term stream conditions, the ability to detect changes in individual stream conditions was dependent on the indicator and protocol used. These findings can be used by land managers to make informed decisions about which protocols to use for end-of season disturbance monitoring and will help land managers better understand the relation between short-term indicators and long-term stream conditions.

We have analyzed the problem of the optimal discrimination of N known quantum states and have obtained maximum success probability and optimal measurement for N known quantum states with equiprobable prior probabilities and equidistant from center of the Bloch ball, not all of which are on the one half of the Bloch ball and all of the conjugate states are pure. An exact solution has also been given for arbitrary three known quantum states. The given examples which use our method include: 1. Diagonal N mixed states; 2. N equiprobable states and equidistant from center of the Bloch ball which their corresponding Bloch vectors are inclined at the equal angle from z axis; 3. Three mirror-symmetric states; 4. States that have been prepared with equal prior probabilities on vertices of a Platonic solid.

title: Strategies to Enhance Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass to Fermentable Sugars and to Enhance Anaerobic Digestion of Algal Biomass for Biogas Production
Creators: name: Sims, Kristen M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: For economical conversion of cellulosic biomass to biofuel sources, such as ethanol and biogas, high concentrations of biomass must be processed to minimize downstream costs associated with dilute solutions. Further, the fundamental processes that drive biomass transformation must be understood in order to optimize conversion processes and to efficiently overcome the technological and economic barriers of biofuel production. One such barrier includes the recalcitrance of biomass to degradation. In order to overcome the recalcitrance of biomass, this study focuses on pretreatment strategies to break down the cell wall components and to make the biomass more susceptible to enzymatic action.
Specifically, this study focuses on the use of alkaline peroxide pretreatment under varying conditions for processing lignocellulosic biomass. Optimal conditions for alkaline peroxide pretreatment were identified for increasing subsequent enzymatic saccharification to fermentable sugars.
This study also evaluated the use of alkaline pretreatment for algal biomass that is present in the Logan Lagoon Wastewater System in order to enhance the anaerobic digestibility of the algae. Different bacterial seed sludges were also evaluated for increasing gas production from anaerobic digestion of algal biomass.
Effect of the geometric form and meaning of the stimulus on the configuration of the visual evoked response
Creators: name: Purves, Sherrill Jean Swift
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In the visual system it has been established that certain physical parameters of the stimulus including intensity, focus, and size of the elements of a pattern have significant effects on the configuration of the evoked response as recorded from the occipital region. While claims have been made in a few publications, to this date the question of whether any part of the evoked response is affected by higher perceptual processes rather than ones more directly related to stimulus input has not been resolved. Evoked responses to four geometric shapes (a square, circle, el and omega) were recorded from multiple scalp locations under two experimental conditions; in the first the shapes were presented at random intervals and in random order with no meaning assigned to them. In the second they were presented in a fixed rhythmic sequence, and two of the shapes occasionally failed to appear in their usual time interval in the sequence. The subject was required to rapidly signal such omissions by a button press. The cerebral electrical activity during this time interval of the expected, but omitted stimulus was recorded and separately averaged, and these responses were called emitted potentials. There were significant, differences between the evoked responses (in the occipital region) to the square and el shapes and between those to the circle and omega shapes. These differences were demonstrated by three measurement techniques: performance of the discriminant functions computed by SWDA in classifying single trial responses, a ratio statistic called X as described by John, Herrington & Sutton (1967), and amplitude differences in the N₂ and P₂ components. The emitted potentials recorded from the vertex, contained a small and variable early negative component and an obvious late positive component similar to the one seen in the responses to the present square and el during the second experimental condition. Manipulation of the waveforms from the single trials prior to averaging showed that this negative component was not time-locked to the P₃ peak. The evoked potential differences found were believed to be due to two classes of variables; the physical characteristics of the stimulus (the contours in the central 1.5° of the visual field) and task-related changes in the meaning of the stimulus; and these affected earlier and later parts of the waveform respectively.

description: Purpose: To establish a protocol for cold water immersion (CWI) temperature and duration based on adipose tissue thickness and desired cooling at 2 cm sub-adipose tissue of rectus femoris (RF) after exercise.
Methods: Sixteen participants received a CWI treatment (10 °C) until either intramuscular thigh temperature (2 cm sub-adipose) decreased 7 °C below pre-exercise level or 30 minutes was reached. Temperature was recorded every 30 seconds using skin and implantable fine-wire thermocouples. Temperature reductions and cooling rates were analyzed.
Results:Five out of the 16 participants cooled 7 °C below baseline within 30 min. Adipose thickness and percent body fat are significantly correlated with CWI cooling rate (M=0.27 °C/min) (p
Discussion: CWI treatment protocols need to be based on adipose thickness and target tissue depth. Recommended cooling of acute injuries to reduce secondary hypoxia is likely greater than cooling needed for post-workout recovery to reduce EIMD.
Energy dependence of transverse momentum fluctuations in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at 20A to 158A GeV

description: Results are presented on event-by-event fluctuations of transverse momenta $p_T$ in central Pb+Pb interactions at 20$A$, 30$A$, 40$A$, 80$A$, and 158$A$ GeV. The analysis was performed for charged particles at forward center-of-mass rapidity ($1.1 < y^{*}_π < 2.6$). Three fluctuation measures were studied: the distribution of average transverse momentum - $M(p_T)$ - in the event, the $Φ_{p_{T}}$ fluctuation measure and two-particle transverse momentum correlations. Fluctuations of $p_T$ are small and show no significant energy dependence in the energy range of the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. Results are compared with QCD-inspired predictions for the critical point, and with the UrQMD model. Transverse momentum fluctuations, similar to multiplicity fluctuations, do not show the increase expected for freeze-out near the critical point of QCD.

description: A fully gapped state of matter, whether insulator or superconductor, can be asked if it is topologically trivial or nontrivial. Here we investigate topological properties of superconducting Dirac fermions in 3D having a color superconductor as an application. In the chiral limit, when the pairing gap is parity even, the right-handed and left-handed sectors of the free space Hamiltonian have nontrivial topological charges with opposite signs. Accordingly, a vortex line in the superconductor supports localized gapless right-handed and left-handed fermions with the dispersion relations E=+/-vp_z (v is a parameter dependent velocity) and thus propagating in opposite directions along the vortex line. However, the presence of the fermion mass immediately opens up a mass gap for such localized fermions and the dispersion relations become E=+/-v(m^2+p_z^2)^(1/2). When the pairing gap is parity odd, the situation is qualitatively different. The right-handed and left-handed sectors of the free space Hamiltonian in the chiral limit have nontrivial topological charges with the same sign and therefore the presence of the small fermion mass does not open up a mass gap for the fermions localized around the vortex line. When the fermion mass is increased further, there is a topological phase transition at m=(μ^2+Δ^2)^(1/2) and the localized gapless fermions disappear. We also elucidate the existence of gapless surface fermions localized at a boundary when two phases with different topological charges are connected. A part of our results is relevant to the color superconductivity of quarks.

description: The second generation Absolute Radiometer for Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Diffuse Emission (ARCADE 2) instrument is a balloon-borne experiment to measure the radiometric temperature of the cosmic microwave background and Galactic and extra-Galactic emission at six frequencies from 3 to 90 GHz. ARCADE 2 utilizes a double-nulled design where emission from the sky is compared to that from an external cryogenic full-aperture blackbody calibrator by cryogenic switching radiometers containing internal blackbody reference loads. In order to further minimize sources of systematic error, ARCADE 2 features a cold fully open aperture with all radiometrically active components maintained at near 2.7 K without windows or other warm objects, achieved through a novel thermal design. We discuss the design and performance of the ARCADE 2 instrument in its 2005 and 2006 flights.

description: Synchrotron processes, the radiative processes associated with the interaction of energetic charged particles with magnetic field, are of interest in many areas in astronomy, from the interstellar medium to extreme environments near compact objects. Consequently, observations of synchrotron sources carry information on the physical properties of the sources themselves and those of their close vicinity. In recent years, novel observations of such sources with multi-wavelength collaborations reveal complex features and peculiarities, especially near black holes. Exploring the nature of these sources in more detail necessitates numerical tools complementary to analytical one-zone modelling efforts. In this paper, we introduce an open-source Python package tailored to this purpose, flaremodel. The core of the code consists of low-level utility functions to describe physical processes relevant to synchrotron sources, which are written in C for performance and parallelised with OpenMP for scalability. The Python interface provides access to these functions and built-in source models are provided as a guidance. At the same time, the modular design of the code and the generic nature of these functions enable users to build a variety of source models applicable to many astrophysical synchrotron sources. We describe our methodology and the structure of our code along with selected examples demonstrating capabilities and options for future modelling efforts.
title: Powder Mountain Bike Resort Master Plan
Creators: name: Crites, J. Dayton

description: In the last decade ski resorts worldwide have developed mountain bike specific recreational facilities in an effort to increase summer revenues. Their success has been mixed, with some becoming quite profitable, but others closing summer operations after only a few low revenue
years. With minimal information regarding bike park design currently available, the planning and design of these facilities remains largely a grassroots effort. This thesis project develops a methodology that approaches the creation of mountain bike resorts on ski mountain terrain based on landscape architectural best practices, sustainable trail
construction techniques, and site-specific requirements. For this project, the terrain of Powder Mountain, a privately owned ski resort above Eden, UT, was selected due to the management’s interest in the study’s relevance to expanding recreational summer offerings, and the proximity to Utah State University.
This research analyzes the Powder Mountain landscape and infrastructure to develop a Master plan, outlining trail corridors, feature placement, and terrain suitability for future trail
development. The basis for these design decisions were analyses from site visits, case studies, and GIS analyses. In addition, a worldwide survey of mountain bike park user experiences was conducted to further understanding of the elements of an ideal mountain bike resort. Throughout the process, these findings were augmented by consultation with professional mountain bike park designers and refined through an iterative design process to create a Master plan based on landscape architectural best practices that will guide the development of summer mountain bike recreation facilities on Powder Mountain.

description: The dark-matter candidates of particle physics invariably possess electromagnetic interactions, if only via quantum fluctuations. Taken en masse, dark matter can thus engender an index of refraction which deviates from its vacuum value. Its presence is signaled through frequency-dependent effects in the propagation and attenuation of light. We discuss theoretical constraints on the expansion of the index of refraction with frequency, the physical interpretation of the terms, and the particular observations needed to isolate its coefficients. This, with the advent of new opportunities to view gamma-ray bursts at cosmological distance scales, gives us a new probe of dark matter and a new possibility for its direct detection. As a first application we use the time delay determined from radio afterglow observations of distant gamma-ray bursts to realize a direct limit on the electric-charge-to-mass ratio of dark matter of |varepsilon|/M < 1 x 10^{-5} eV^{-1} at 95% CL.

Phenomenological quark-lepton mass relations and neutrino mass estimations

description: Based on the experimental data and estimations of the charged leptons and quarks masses, a close power law with exponent 3/4 has been found, connecting charged leptons masses and up quarks masses. A similar mass relation has been suggested for the masses of neutral leptons and down quarks. The latter mass relation and the results of the solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments have been used for prediction of neutrino masses. The obtained masses of electron neutrino, muon neutrino and tau neutrino are 0.0003 eV, 0.003 eV and 0.04 eV, respectively. These values are compatible with the recent experimental data and support the normal hierarchy of neutrino masses.

description: Entanglement between two macroscopic atomic ensembles induced by measurement on an ancillary light system has proven to be a powerful method for engineering quantum memories and quantum state transfer. Here we investigate the feasibility of such methods for generation, manipulation and detection of genuine multipartite entanglement between mesoscopic atomic ensembles. Our results extend in a non trivial way the EPR entanglement between two macroscopic gas samples reported experimentally in [B. Julsgaard, A. Kozhekin, and E. Polzik, Nature {\bf 413}, 400 (2001)]. We find that under realistic conditions, a second orthogonal light pulse interacting with the atomic samples, can modify and even reverse the entangling action of the first one leaving the samples in a separable state.

description: The two on-going sample return space missions, Hayabusa2 and OSIRIS-REx are going to return to Earth asteroid regolith from the carbonaceous near-Earth asteroids Ryugu and Bennu. The two main processes that lead to regolith production are the micrometeorite bombardment and the thermal cracking. Here we report the production of a weak simulant material, analogue to carbonaceous meteorites with a CM-like composition, following the preliminary compositional results for Bennu and Ryugu. This asteroid simulant has compressive and flexural strength 1.8+/-0.17 and 0.7+/-0.07 MPa, respectively. The thermal conductivity (in air) of the simulant at room temperature is between 0.43 and 0.47 W/m/K. In order to distinguish the type of regolith that is produced by each of these processes, we present and discuss the results of the experimental campaign focused on laboratory hypervelocity impacts, using the 2-stage light-gas gun of the University of Kent, that mimic the micrometeorite bombardment. We find that this process produces both monomineralic and multimineralic fragments, resulting in a difficulty to distinguish the two processes, at least on these weak materials.
