description: Asphaltic concrete pavements at intersections and their approaches, where traffic is required to stop and start, exhibit several types of distress. Among the more prominent forms of these distresses are deep rutting, pushing and shoving, and severe wash boarding. Prior research in this area has shown the leading causes of pavement failures at these locations are primarily materials related. Meaningful amounts of funds allocated for maintenance operations are exhausted each year to rehabilitate intersection pavements that have become safety hazards as a result of simple traffic action. Significant savings may be realized if intersections and their approaches are designed and constructed to accommodate the shear stresses as well as fatigue to which they are subjected. The overall purpose of this study has been to understand the factors that influence these distresses and determine procedures that may be implemented economically to significantly reduce the costly and repeated rehabilitation of intersection pavements. This report examines several innovative techniques used to accommodate higher stresses realized at these locations including whitetopping with Portland cement concrete, high-density plastic geogrids, and polymer-modified asphalts.

description: The term European Private Law hosts not only the impact of secondary community law in the national legal systems of the Member States but as well an autonomous field that focuses on the promotion of the development through reception of a common frame of reference and common principles in civil law. Various academic groups have committed themselves in comparative research in the field of law of civil responsibility in the pursue of a common core of legal solutions for Europe. The European Group on Tort Law is one of those groups and has drafted the Principles based on the comprehensive volumes that have proceeded on the various conceptual elements of tort law. Having followed the flexible system and considering the establishment of better law the Principles endeavour to set up the frame for a wide dialogue of European legal culture.

description: A general method to derive the diagonal representation for a generic matrix valued quantum Hamiltonian is proposed. In this approach new mathematical objects like non-commuting operators evolving with the Planck constant promoted as a running variable are introduced. This method leads to a formal compact expression for the diagonal Hamiltonian which can be expanded in a power series of the Planck constant. In particular, we provide an explicit expression for the diagonal representation of a generic Hamiltonian to the second order in the Planck constant. This last result is applied, as a physical illustration, to Dirac electrons and neutrinos in external fields.

description: Cephalization refers to the evolutionary trend toward concentration of neural tissues, sensory organs, mouth and associated structures at the front end of bilaterian animals. Comprehensive studies on gene expression related to anterior formation in invertebrate models are currently lacking. In this study, we performed de novo transcriptional profiling, on a proboscis-bearing leech Helobdella austinensis to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the anterior versus other parts of the body, and in particular to find clues as to the development of the proboscis. Between the head and the body, 132 head-specific DEGs were identified, of which we chose 11 to investigate their developmental function during embryogenesis. Analysis of the spatial expression of these genes using in situ hybridization showed that they were characteristically expressed in the anterior region of the developing embryo, including the proboscis. Our results provide information on genes related to head formation and insights into the function of proboscis-related genes during organogenesis with the potential roles of genes not yet characterized.

description: We report on the geometry and mechanics of knotted stiff strings. We discuss both closed and open knots. Our two main results are: (i) Their equilibrium energy as well as the equilibrium tension for open knots depend on the type of knot as the square of the bridge number; (ii) Braid localization is found to be a general feature of stiff strings entanglements, while angles and knot localization are forbidden. Moreover, we identify a family of knots for which the equilibrium shape is a circular braid. Two other equilibrium shapes are found from Monte Carlo simulations. These three shapes are confirmed by rudimentary experiments. Our approach is also extended to the problem of the minimization of the length of a knotted string with a maximum allowed curvature.

description: The aim of this paper is to investigate the cone of non-negative, radial, positive-definite functions in the set of continuous functions on $\R^d$. Elements of this cone admit a Choquet integral representation in terms of the extremals. The main feature of this article is to characterize some large classes of such extremals. In particular, we show that there many other extremals than the gaussians, thus disproving a conjecture of G. Choquet and that no reasonable conjecture can be made on the full set of extremals. The last feature of this article is to show that many characterizations of positive definite functions available in the literature are actually particular cases of the Choquet integral representations we obtain.

description: Dealing with brain signals is a difficult task especially when we are interested in analyzing their variability and revealing underlying knowledge. Many researchers have approached the classic problems of the field with different theories and tools offering a diversity of useful and reliable techniques. The study and analysis of event-related dynamics is our goal through this thesis and we adopt notions and tools from the field of fuzzy clustering. More specifically, we introduce a framework for mining event related dynamics based on Conditional FCM (CFCM). For a given set of responses, the variation in the data is summarized by means of a small set of meaningful prototypes accompanied with a low-dimensional graph capturing their relative relationships. CFCM enables prototyping in a principled manner. User-defined constraints, which are imposed by the nature of experimental data and/or dictated by the neuroscientist's intuition, direct the process of knowledge extraction and can robustify single-trial analysis. The method is introduced using simulated data and demonstrated using actual encephalographic data. All the theoretical aspects behind our tools of analysis are also presented in this thesis as a complementary to our experiments.

description: We show that it is possible to employ reservoir engineering to turn two distant and relatively bad cavities into one good cavity with a tunable spontaneous decay rate. As a result, quantum computing schemes, that would otherwise require the shuttling of atomic qubits in and out of an optical resonator, can now be applied to distant quantum dots. To illustrate this we transform a recent proposal to entangle two qubits via the observation of macroscopic fluorescence signals [Metz et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 040503 (2006)] to the electron-spin states of two semiconductor quantum dots. Our scheme requires neither the coherent control of qubit-qubit interactions nor the detection of single photons. Moreover, the scheme is relatively robust against spin-bath couplings, parameter fluctuations, and the spontaneous emission of photons.

The role of sulfate reducing bacteria in copper removal from aqueous sulfate solutions
Creators: name: Jalali, Kathy K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Grown waters contaminated with copper from the mining industry are matters of concern in Canada. This research investigated the feasibility of using sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) for treatment of copper sulfate solutions. The growth of sulfate reducing bacteria in copper sulfate solutions and their efficiency of removal of copper from those solutions were investigated by (i) varying the copper concentration from 0-200 ppm, (ii) comparing copper precipitation between SRB enriched from a mixed culture and two pure cultures: Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, and Desulfovibrio vulgaris, and (iii) the study of copper removal kinetics. Electron microscopy and subsequent image analysis of the micrographs detennined the location of copper precipitates and idicated the direct role of the bacteria in copper removal. Copper was removed effectively by the SRB enrichments to less than 0.1 ppm from copper-sulfate solutions containing 150 ppm or less initial copper concentration. All cultures having copper included showed some degree of sulfate inhibition after five days of incubation, although this inhibition was not very significant below 100 ppm initial copper concentration. Kinetic experiments indicated that precipitates of copper form very early in the incubation period. This early precipitation is most likely due to the reaction of copper ions with hydrogen sulfide present in the inocula. Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, and Desulfovibrio vulgaris removed copper from sulfate solution, but not as effectively as the SRB enrichments. Above 50-ppm initial concentration of copper, significant inhibition of sulfate reduction was observed. Visual observations of the precipitates and solids indicated dense packing and good settling. Well-contrasted images of unstained bacteria confirmed that copper sulfides formed when associated with the cell surface. Cells showed a high degree of capsule production in the presence of copper in solution. This phenomenon is the most likely reason for the formation of the flocculates.

description: We present the findings of a pilot-study that analysed the role of haptic feedback in a musical context. To examine the role of haptics in Digital Musical Instrument (DMI) design an experiment was formulated to measure the users' perception of device usability across four separate feedback stages: fully haptic (force and tactile combined), constant force only, vibrotactile only, and no feedback. The study was piloted over extended periods with the intention of exploring the application and integration of DMIs in real-world musical contexts. Applying a music orientated analysis of this type enabled the investigative process to not only take place over a comprehensive period, but allowed for the exploration of DMI integration in everyday compositional practices. As with any investigation that involves creativity, it was important that the participants did not feel rushed or restricted. That is, they were given sufficient time to explore and assess the different feedback types without constraint. This provided an accurate and representational set of qualitative data for validating the participants' experience with the different feedback types they were presented with.

description: We discuss the phenomenology of $(1,1)$-mode adjoint scalars in the framework of two Universal Extra Dimensions. The Kaluza-Klein (KK) towers of these adjoint scalars arise in the 4-dimensional effective theory from the 6th component of the gauge fields after compactification. Adjoint scalars can have KK-number conserving as well as KK-number violating interactions. We calculate the KK-number violating operators involving these scalars and two Standard Model fields. Decay widths of these scalars into different channels have been estimated. We have also briefly discussed pair-production and single production of such scalars at the Large Hadron Collider.

Ultracold atom-molecule collisions and bound states in magnetic fields: tuning zero-energy Feshbach resonances in He-NH (3Sigma-)

description: We have generalized the BOUND and MOLSCAT packages to allow calculations in basis sets where the monomer Hamiltonians are off-diagonal and used the new capability to carry out bound-state and scattering calculations on 3He-NH and 4He-NH as a function of magnetic field. Following the bound-state energies to the point where they cross thresholds gives very precise predictions of the magnetic fields at which zero-energy Feshbach resonances occur. We have used this to locate and characterize two very narrow Feshbach resonances in 3He-NH. Such resonances can be used to tune elastic and inelastic collision cross sections, and sweeping the magnetic field across them will allow a form of quantum control in which separated atoms and molecules are associated to form complexes. For the first resonance, where only elastic scattering is possible, the scattering length shows a pole as a function of magnetic field and there is a very large peak in the elastic cross section. For the second resonance, however, inelastic scattering is also possible. In this case the pole in the scattering length is dramatically suppressed and the cross sections show relatively small peaks. The peak suppression is expected to be even larger in systems with stronger inelasticity. The results suggest that calculations on ultracold molecular inelastic collisions may be much less sensitive to details of the potential energy surface than has been believed.

description: The current state-of-the-art Android malware detection systems are based on machine learning and deep learning models. Despite having superior performance, these models are susceptible to adversarial attacks. Therefore in this paper, we developed eight Android malware detection models based on machine learning and deep neural network and investigated their robustness against adversarial attacks. For this purpose, we created new variants of malware using Reinforcement Learning, which will be misclassified as benign by the existing Android malware detection models. We propose two novel attack strategies, namely single policy attack and multiple policy attack using reinforcement learning for white-box and grey-box scenario respectively. Putting ourselves in the adversary's shoes, we designed adversarial attacks on the detection models with the goal of maximizing fooling rate, while making minimum modifications to the Android application and ensuring that the app's functionality and behavior do not change. We achieved an average fooling rate of 44.21% and 53.20% across all the eight detection models with a maximum of five modifications using a single policy attack and multiple policy attack, respectively. The highest fooling rate of 86.09% with five changes was attained against the decision tree-based model using the multiple policy approach. Finally, we propose an adversarial defense strategy that reduces the average fooling rate by threefold to 15.22% against a single policy attack, thereby increasing the robustness of the detection models i.e. the proposed model can effectively detect variants (metamorphic) of malware. The experimental analysis shows that our proposed Android malware detection system using reinforcement learning is more robust against adversarial attacks.

Dominant $2πγ$-exchange nucleon-nucleon interaction: Spin-spin and tensor potentials

description: We calculate at two-loop order in chiral perturbation theory the electromagnetic corrections to the two-pion exchange nucleon-nucleon interaction that is generated by the isovector spin-flip $ππNN$ contact-vertex proportional to the large low-energy constant $c_4\simeq 3.4 $GeV$^{-1}$. We find that the respective $2πγ$-exchange potentials contain sizeable isospin-breaking components which reach up to -4% of corresponding isovector $2π$-exchange potentials. The typical values of these novel charge-independence breaking spin-spin and tensor potentials are $-0.11 $MeV and $0.09 $MeV, at a nucleon distance of $r=m_π^{-1}=1.4 $fm. The charge-symmetry breaking spin-spin and tensor potentials come out a factor of 2.4 smaller. Our analytical results for these presumably dominant isospin-violating spin-spin and tensor NN-forces are in a form such that they can be easily implemented into phase-shift analyses and few-body calculations.

description: Light scattering at near-infrared wavelengths has been used to study the optical properties of the interstellar dust grains, but these studies are limited by the assumptions on the strength of the radiation field. On the other hand, thermal dust emission can be used to constrain the properties of the radiation field, although this is hampered by uncertainty about the dust emissivity. We test if current dust models allow us to model a molecular cloud simultaneously in the near infrared (NIR) and far infrared (FIR) wavelengths and compare the results with observations. Our aim is to place constraints on the properties of the dust grains and the strength of the radiation field. We present computations of dust emission and scattered light of a quiescent molecular cloud LDN1512. We construct radiative transfer models for LDN1512 that include an anisotropic radiation field and a three-dimensional cloud model. We are able to reproduce the observed FIR observations, with a radiation field derived from the DIRBE observations, with all of the tested dust models. However, with the same density distribution and the assumed radiation field, the models fail to reproduce the observed NIR scattering in all cases except for models that take into account dust evolution via coagulation and mantle formation. We find that the column densities derived from our radiative transfer modelling can differ by a factor of up to two, compared to the column densities derived from the observations with modified blackbody fits. The discrepancy in the column densities is likely caused because of temperature difference between a modified blackbody fit and the real spectra. We show that the observed dust emission can be reproduced with several different assumptions about the properties of the dust grains. However, in order to reproduce the observed scattered surface brightness dust evolution must be taken into account.

description: We show that a simple one-dimensional model of spinless fermions with pair hopping displays a phase in which a Luttinger liquid of paired fermions coexists with a Luttinger liquid of unpaired fermions. Our results are based on extensive numerical density-matrix renormalisation group calculations and are supported by a two-fluid model that captures the essence of the coexistence region.

Development of Guidelines and Performance for Asphalt Concrete Containing Recycled Rubber

Publisher: name: Kentucky Transportation Center, University of Kentucky
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of implementation of the crumb rubber technology in Kentucky. The impetus for this study was provided by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (lSTEA).  This study included an overview of existing literature on the subject from an implementation point of view for Kentucky's conditions. Upon completion of this phase of the study, guidelines were developed by the KTC research team and were submitted to the Transportation Cabinet for field implementation of the crumb rubber modifier (CRM) technology in Kentucky. From the ease of implementation point of view, the Cabinet opted to construct a field trial section using the "wet process' which utilized a fine ground rubber (80 mesh} material. The rationale for this decision was based upon the fact that the fine ground CRM mix closely resembles the polymer modified HMA, and that both the Cabinet and Kentucky contractors have an extensive amount of experience with polymer modified asphalt.  In July 1993, a field trial project was constructed on a portion of the US 421, Franklin County, Kentucky. The project involved milling of nominally one inch of the wearing surface followed up by a nominally one-inch overlay. The four-lane trial project (two lanes in each direction) was divided into two approximately half-mile sections. This allowed for a comparison of performance between the CRM hot mix asphalt (HMA) and the conventional HMA.  In summary, the trial implementation of the CRM technology in Kentucky proved to be a success. The 177-micron (80-mesh) fine ground rubber at 7.5% by weight of asphalt cement provided a material similar to polymer modified asphalt. Construction of the field project was possible with existing specifications and practices in Kentucky. The non-intrusive nature of the fine ground technology was most desirable from the ease of implementation point of view.
Influence of lateral confinement on granular flows: comparison between shear-driven and gravity-driven flows

description: The properties of confined granular flows are studied through discrete numerical simulations. Two types of flows with different boundaries are compared: (i) gravity-driven flows topped with a free surface and over a base where erosion balances accretion (ii) shear-driven flows with a constant pressure applied at their top and a bumpy bottom moving at constant velocity. In both cases we observe shear localization over or/and under a creep zone. We show that, although the different boundaries induce different flow properties (e.g. shear localization of transverse velocity profiles), the two types of flow share common properties like (i) a power law relation between the granular temperature and the shear rate (whose exponent varies from 1 for dense flows to 2 for dilute flows) and (ii) a weakening of friction at the sidewalls which gradually decreases with the depth within the flow.

description: A scheme is presented for realizing a quantum phase gate with three-level atoms, solid-state qubits--often called artificial atoms, or ions that share a quantum data bus such as a single mode field in cavity QED system or a collective vibrational state of trapped ions. In this scheme, the conditional phase shift is tunable and controllable via the total effective interaction time. Furthermore, we show that the method can be used for effective preparation of graph-state entanglement, which are important resources for quantum computation, quantum error correction, studies of multiparticle entanglement, fundamental tests of non-locality and decoherence.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία εκπονήθηκε στο πλαίσιο του Διατμηματικού Προγράμματος Μεταπτυχιακών Σπουδών "Νανοεπιστήμες και Νανοτεχνολογίες" με σκοπό την αξιοποίηση των δυνατοτήτων αυτοοργάνωσης της σιδηροδεσμευτικής πρωτεΐνης φερριτίνης, προκειμένου να αναπτυχθεί μονόστρωμα της πρωτεΐνης επάνω σε επιφάνεια μονοκρυσταλλικού πυριτίου (100). Αυτό μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί, μετά από περαιτέρω έρευνα, για την ανάπτυξη μονοστρώματος κβαντικών στιγμών οξειδίων του σιδήρου, προερχόμενα από τους νανοκρυσταλλικούς πυρήνες, που συγκεκριμένη πρωτεΐνη δημιουργεί μέσα στην εσωτερική της κοιλότητα. Απαραίτητη προϋπόθεση για την επίτευξη ενός τέτοιου μονοστρώματος πρωτεΐνης, είναι ο καθαρισμός της επιφάνειας σε ατομικό επίπεδο. Για τον σκοπό αυτόν αναπτύχθηκε νέα μηχανική μέθοδος καθαρισμού, η οποία σε συνδυασμό με άλλη, χημική μέθοδο καθαρισμού, έδωσε καθαρές επιφάνειες στη νονοκλίμακα. Επίσης, η επιφάνεια κατέστη θετικά φορτισμένη, μετά από κατεργασία με ΗCl, προκειμένου να διευκολυνθεί η επίστρωση της φερριτίνης. Περαιτέρω, αναπτύχθηκαν δύο νέες μέθοδοι επίστρωσης, οι οποίες συγκρίθηκαν με αυτήν του spincoating. Η πρώτη έδωσε ενδιαφέρουσες μορφοποιήσεις επάνω στην επιφάνεια, ενώ η δεύτερη έδωσε μονοστρώματα φερριτίνης, με μεγαλύτερη ένταση και πυκνότητα από το spincoating. Με τις μεθόδους του AFM, TEM, φασματοσκοπικής ελλειψομετρίας και XRD επιβεβαιώθηκε η παρουσία νανοκρυσταλλιτών οξειδίου του σιδήρου και μονοστρώματος πρωτεΐνης, επί της επιφάνειας του πυριτίου (100).
description: The present study was carried out under the interdisciplinary postgraduate program "Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies" with the aim of utilising the self-assembling properties of the iron binding protein ferritin, in order to develop a monolayer of the protein on the surface of moncrystalline Si (100). This can be used, after further research, for the development of a monologer of iron oxide quantum dots, derived of the nanocrystal cores that this protein forms within its inner cavity. A prerequisite for achieving such a protein monolayer is the prior cleaning of the surface in the atomic level. To this end, a new mechanical cleaning method was developed, which in conjuction with a chemical cleaning method, resuffed in clean surfaces, in the nanoscale. Also, after treatment with HCl, the surface became positively charged, in order to facilitate the protein coating. Furthermore, two new methods of coating were developed, and they were compared to the spin coating method. The first yielded interesting patterns, while the second resulted in ferritin monolayers. With the methods of AFM, TEM, SE and XRD we confirmed the presence of protein monolayers and iron oxides on the surface of Si (100).
