description: Powder processing of thermoplastic polymer composites is an effective way to achieve a high level of component homogenization in raw blends prior to melt processing, thus reducing the thermal and shear stress on the components.  Polymer blends can be prepared that would otherwise not be possible due to thermodynamic incompatibility.  Evaluation of this concept was conducted by processing PMMA and HDPE micron sized powders which were characterized using DSC and rheology.  Optical microscopy and SEM, showed that high-quality, fine domain sized blends can be made by the compression molding process. Silica marker spheres were used to qualitatively assess the level dispersive mixing.  EDS chemical analysis was effective in providing image contrast between PMMA and HDPE based on the carbonyl and ester oxygen.  EDS image maps, combined with secondary electron images show that compression molding of blended powder precursors produces composites of comparable homogeneity and domain size as extrusion processing.  FTIR proved valuable when assessing the intimacy of the constituents at the interface of the immiscible domains.  The formation of an in - situ, PMMA nano - network structure resulting from solvent extraction and redeposition using DMF was uniquely found on the surface of these immiscible polymer blends.  This work has shown that powder processing of polymers is an effective means to melt processed fragile polymers to high quality blends.    Recently, efforts towards the development of sustainable materials have evolved due in part to the increase in price and limited supply of crude oil.  Immiscible polymer blending is a paradigm that enables synergistic material performance in certain instances where the composite properties are superior to the sum of the constituents.  The addition of PA6,10 to PTT offers an opportunity to increase the bio-based content of PTT while simultaneously maintaining or improving mechanical properties.  PA6,10 and PTT are immiscible polymers that can be blended into multi-phase blends with fine domain morphology.  Initially, the blend compositions were estimated based on empirical relationships, subsequently the polymers were formulated and extruded.  Extensive work was performed via EDS and rheological measuring to identify a co-continuous composition and to assess the validity of the empirical Jordhamo relationship.

description: Most automobiles in the United States currently run on either motor gasoline or diesel fuel, which are complex mixtures of hydrocarbons (alkanes, olefins, naphthenes, and aromatics), and additives for improving fuel performance, including anti-knock agents, anti-oxidants, lead scavengers, lubricants, and detergents.1-4 Currently, ethanol is being used both as a fuel and as and additive/oxygenate in order to improve the fuel quality, replacing toxic octane enhancers such as benzene, and reducing emissions. Renewable alternatives to fossil fuels are often chosen based on their availability, rather than being designed for optimal efficiency. However, with advances in synthetic biology, it is now possible to synthesize a number of molecules that would be more desirable as transportation fuels, particularly in applications where it is not possible to use ethanol (e.g., jet fuel). Such fuels include short-chain alcohols; linear and branched-chain alcohols, alkanes, and alkenes; and esters. The ability to produce a wide range of fuel molecules by fermentation would enable renewable fuels to replace fossil-based fuels in a broad range of applications, not just in automobiles.

description: Until recently, the computer magnetic storage hard disk drive (HDD) has been able to sustain a 60% per year increase in data areal storage density. Such phenomenal performance enhancement is unique among macro-mechanical devices (imagine if the fuel economy of cars was able to increase at this rate). Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain this rate of performance enhancement, and it is feared that the HDD industry could circum its competitiveness to flash memory. The successful completion of the proposed project will provide the HDD Storage Industry in California with a viable key technology that is needed to sustain its competitiveness. The project will develop a new class of micro-positioning devices that will be capable of moving a magnetic head of a HDD relative to the slider with the necessary accuracy and precision to attain 10 Tera bit per square inch storage densities. The project will also develop a fabrication process for these devices that can be integrated with the overall wafer-level fabrication process of the magnetic heads. As a consequence, the incremental cost of incorporating this micro-positioning device as part of a HDD will be sufficiently low to allow its deployment in a cost effective manner.

description: Graphene is the name given to individual platelets of atomically thin carbon layers, which when stacked on top of each other, form the bulk crystal graphite. The excellent electrical, mechanical and thermal properties of graphite have led past efforts to incorporate thin graphite platelets, into polymers, metals and ceramics, forming composites with improved properties. So far, these efforts have been hampered by the poor dispersibility of graphitic materials due to strong dipole-dipole forces holding the graphene sheets together. Recent work involving the oxidation of graphite powder produces graphene oxide that is dispersible in water as individual platelets. The resulting chemical groups on the surface of the sheets provide attachment points onto which a variety of functionalities may be explored. Reduction via de-oxygenation of graphene oxide yields an atomically thin graphene material that has already demonstrated promise as filler for polymer nanocomposites. This proposal focuses on expanding the capabilities and applications of this exciting new graphitic material. Potential applications of reduced graphene oxide based fillers include enhancing the electrical conductivity of structural epoxies used in carbon fiber composites for lightning strike protection of aircraft while improving composite strength. Other applications include providing enhanced vibrational damping properties in viscoelastic materials. Saving weight by using composite materials to replace heavier metal components will put Northrop Grumman launch vehicles ahead of its competition; much of which is foreign. Furthermore, reducing the weight of satellites launched into geosynchronous orbit can dramatically lower their cost thus providing better business opportunities for Northrop Grumman and hence benefiting the State of California’s workforce where the company is heavily vested.
Hyphenation and Its discontents
Creators: name: Germana, Rachelle
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: This study explores the social logic of hyphenation, moving hyphenation beyond grammar and instead highlighting the way in which it performs socio-politically. In doing so, I use hyphenation as a gateway to a discussion about the cultural politics of ambiguity. In particular, I employ two settings of “hyphenated identities,” Hyphenated Americanism and surname hyphenation, to expose a hidden debate related more generally to ambiguity and ambivalence in American culture. A reading of these settings, which includes interviews with 30 surname hyphenators, reveals a conflict between hyphenation and cultural narratives that tend to favor unity, solidity, singularity, and an either/or vision of social categories. Within these cultural narratives, so-called Hyphenated Americans and surname hyphenators have often been similarly perceived as ambivalent and such a tendency exposes a tension not only between rigid and flexible logics for classifying identity, but also a related tension between the politics of identity and the politics of ambiguity. Furthermore, the discourses surrounding the hyphenation of these identities also draw attention to the anxiety provoked by ambiguity and how this anxiety becomes shaped and reinforced by contrasting notions of purity and pollution, security and danger, and social order and disorder. My analysis examines how these identities have been constituted and contested in this way and considers the implications for social classification more generally.

description: Introduction: Appropriate treatment disparity and delay in receipt of treatment are possible reasons that contribute to shorter survival in African-American (AA) breast cancer patients compared to their White counterparts.  Specific Aims: In early stage breast cancer:  1) determine if racial differences exist in treatment, 2) examine racial disparity of delays in diagnosis and treatment initiation and explore factors that predicted delay in the overall population and by race, 3) examine factors that influenced the choice between mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and whether these factors differed by race.  Methods: Newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer patients during 2005-2010 were identified in seven eastern New Jersey counties through rapid case ascertainment.  For each AA woman 18-85 years of age, a white woman was randomly selected (± 5 years of age and from same county).  Two data collection methods took place: medical chart review (Aims 1 & 2) and semi-structured interviews (Aim 3).  Multivariable binomial and linear regression models were conducted to explore associations between race and outcomes (receipt of standard treatment; diagnosis and treatment delay).  Results: In Aim 1, AAs tended not to receive optimal treatment compared to whites (RR: 1.60; 95% CI: .94, 2.71).  Aim 2 demonstrated that AA women experienced longer time to diagnosis and surgical treatment.   The geometric mean (95% CI) for whites and AAs in time to diagnosis was 35 (31, 40) and 47 (41, 54); time to surgery was 28 (26, 30) and 33 (30, 35) respectively. Aim 3 demonstrated that health issues that interfered with physical/social activities influenced AAs to receive mastectomy compared to BCS (RR: 1.68; 95% CI: 1.01, 2.77).    Conclusion: We observed racial differences in receipt of optimal treatment (after controlling clinical factors) and took longer time to diagnosis and treatment for early stage breast cancer among AAs compared to white women.  These differences could contribute to the observed poor survival in AAs with breast cancer.  Also AAs listed previous health issues as an influencing factor in the surgical treatment they received.  The findings suggest that interventions are needed to eliminate barriers that contribute to the observed disparity and to help narrow the racial gap in survival rates.

description: Pressure dosing is an alternative to standard gravity feed for waste water distribution in on-site septic systems. We completed a study comparing nitrogen removal in eight pressure dosing and eleven standard septic systems in the New Jersey Pinelands. For all systems, the native soil was replaced with select fill composed of sand. All systems served new, single family homes. Septic and pump tanks were sampled directly and suction cup lysimeters were installed to sample waste water at three depths within the disposal field. Each was sampled quarterly for three years. There was no significant difference in nitrogen removal between system types. Average system nitrogen removal rates of 40% and 48% were found for pressure dosing and standardsystems, respectively. In both types of systems, most nitrogen removal occurred between the septic tank and the top zone of the disposal field. In most systems, there was little change in nitrogen between the top and bottom zones. At 1.5 m below the gravel/select fill interface, mean CI· corrected TN concentrations were 32.8 mg/l for pressure dosing systems and 34.0 mg/l for standard systems.

description: Wireless base stations provide the backbones of critical communication systems such cellular telephone networks and metropolitan area networks. Although they use extensive digital signal processing, they require very high-performance mixed-signal and analog components, particularly analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters DACs, and their overall performance is often limited by the performance of these components. Moreover, the accuracy required of the ADCs and DACs tends to increase as communication standards evolve toward higher data rates and higher spectral efficiencies. Unfortunately, the very phenomenon that enables complicated digital signal processing systems actually works against conventional circuit techniques used to implement ADCs and DACs. In perpetuating Moore’s Law, integrated circuit (IC) technology engineers inevitably make trade-offs that favor digital circuitry over the analog circuitry required by conventional ADCs and DACs. One solution is to implement the ADCs and DACs apart from the digital circuitry using higher-cost, “analog-friendly” IC technology. However, this significantly increases unit cost, size, and power consumption, all of which are highly undesirable in most applications; intense market pressure usually dictates that as much of the analog and mixed-signal circuitry as possible be integrated along with the digital circuitry in low-cost IC technology optimized for digital circuitry. The objective of this project--to develop and experimentally demonstrate digital techniques that advance the state-of-the-art in ADCs and DACs appropriate for use in wireless base stations--addresses an important aspect of this problem. The proposed research consists of two parts: 1) digital enhancement of pipelined ADCs and 2) digital enhancement of Nyquist-Rate DACs. The two parts are related in that they each involve the development of new digital techniques to overcome the effects of various types of non-ideal analog circuit behavior, and they each involve the development of proof-of-principle IC prototypes incorporating the new techniques. The objectives are to enable and demonstrate data converter performance beyond the present state of the art targeted to the needs of next-generation multi-standard wireless base stations.

Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1996

description: Of major interest to landowners, residents and businesses in the region is the economic impact of the regulations on land values, real estate markets, local government finances, and farm and business economic viability. A number of studies have been conducted since the inception of the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) which have addressed these issues. These efforts have measured only the short-term impacts of the Pinelands Plan but have recognized the importance of monitoring economic and fiscal impacts over the long term. The purpose of this report is to describe the goals and objectives for a long term, continuing economic monitoring program and its design.

description: There is a pressing need for new, environmentally friendly pesticides that can improve crop yields and plant health without damaging the environment or posing risks to public health. Historically, many important biopesticides were derived from microorganisms cultured from soils. However, these soil bacteria have been studied extensively for more than 60 years and are now no longer recognized as a robust source for the discovery of new products. The microorganisms inhibiting the world’s oceans however are relatively unexplored for these purposes, including as a source of biopesticides. These microbes, which include unique groups of marine actinomycetes, are yielding large numbers of unusual new secondary metabolites with important applications in biotechnology and represent a promising new resource for agrichemical discovery. The goals of this project are to culture diverse marine actinomycetes from deep-sea marine sediments and test extracts from these bacteria for activities in assays related to agricultural pest management. This research will be performed in collaboration with Marrone Organic Innovations (MOI), the corporate sponsor of the proposal. The long term goals of discovering and bringing to market new biopesticides will be met through an aggressive screening program and the use of relevant bioassays to guide the isolation of active molecules from crude mixtures. This program will capitalize on many years of prior research experience in marine fermentation and the use of methods designed to maximize the production of biologically active metabolites. These materials will be provided to MOI in sufficient quantity so that the active constituents can be isolated, identified, and tested for marketable applications. This research has the potential to yield new products, which will be developed and brought to market by the corporate sponsor, and create jobs in California by strengthening the market position of the sponsor. This proposal will also provide important training so that students will be well suited to fill positions in the biotechnology industry.

description: With growing complexity and responsibility of automated driving functions in road traffic and growing scope of their operational design domains, there is increasing demand for covering significant parts of development, validation, and verification via virtual environments and simulation models.
 If, however, simulations are meant not only to augment real-world experiments, but to replace them, quantitative approaches are required that measure to what degree and under which preconditions simulation models adequately represent reality, and thus allow their usage for virtual testing of driving functions. Especially in research and development areas related to the safety impacts of the "open world", there is a significant shortage of real-world data to parametrize and/or validate simulations - especially with respect to the behavior of human traffic participants, whom automated vehicles will meet in mixed traffic.
 This paper presents the intermediate results of the German AVEAS research project (www.aveas.org) which aims at developing methods and metrics for the harmonized, systematic, and scalable acquisition of real-world data for virtual verification and validation of advanced driver assistance systems and automated driving, and establishing an online database following the FAIR principles.

Year: 1996

description: Because changes in water quality associated with watershed disturbance adversely effect characteristic aquatic and wetland plant communities in the New Jersey Pinelands (Ehrenfeld 1983, Ehrenfeld and Schneider 1991, Morgan and Philipp 1986), there is a continuing need to monitor the effects of upland land use patterns on the biological integrity of these communities. To provide a baseline for future assessments of watershed disturbance, we present data on the floristic composition of aquatic bed and emergent wetland communities in selected Pinelands streams. In a companion ecological study (Zampella and Laidig 1996), we examine the relationship between these plant species composition data and various environmental variables such as stream pH and specific conductance.

description: Plant breeders create new, improved varieties of plants by generating or discovering new versions (= "alleles") of genes and putting these together in the right combination. Although useful new alleles are sometimes found in wild relatives of crop species, quite often breeders create genetic variation in domesticated varieties through a process termed "mutagenesis". Mutagenesis in plants is currently a random process: plants are treated with DNA damaging agents, such as ionizing radiation, changes are induced in a random assortment of genes, and the geneticist or breeder then combs through very large populations looking for either changes in specific DNA sequences, or changes in the appearance, biochemistry, or stress resistance of the plant. It would be useful to be able to directly generate mutations in specific genes (i.e., perform "targeted mutagenesis"). In collaboration with Sangamo Biosciences, we will determine whether it is possible to routinely perform targeted mutagenesis in the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana. Arabidopsis is very easy to work with (for many reasons), and results obtained in Arabidopsis should be immediately applicable to crop species. Sangamo specializes in the construction of "targeted endonucleases". These are enzymes that seek out and mutate specific DNA sequences. We will test the ability of 12 endonucleases (ZFNs) custom designed and constructed by Sangamo to introduce mutations ion the living plant at 3 different genes chosen by the Britt lab. If we find that these enzymes are effective mutagens in Arabidopsis, this work will open the door to a rapid, simple, and very precise new technology for the creation of genetic diversity in elite varieties of crop plants.

description: Concrete, the most-used construction material by weight, presents a significant environmental challenge due to its high production environmental footprint and huge quantities of demolition waste.
Iran, with a thriving construction sector, faces escalating waste management issues.
This paper provides a comprehensive review of strategies to increase concrete recycling in Iran. It explores the current state of concrete recycling practices, the environmental and economic benefits, and the existing barriers hindering wider adoption.
The paper then analyzes various strategies across the concrete life cycle, including: demolition practices, collection and transportation systems, processing technologies, and market development for recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs).
Several case studies are examined in order to identify best practices and strategies used by countries with successful concrete recycling programs that provide valuable insights about the factors contributing to their success which will be useful for implementation in Iran.
Furthermore, the review concludes with recommendations tailored to the Iranian context, emphasizing the crucial role of collaboration between different stakeholders in Iran.

Year: 1997

description: The Long-Term Economic Monitoring Program is a cooperative venture, administered by the New Jersey Pinelands Commission and funded by the U. S. National Park Service. The program collects data to monitor economic conditions in southern New Jersey with a focus on the area of the Pinelands that is protected under federal and state legislation.The initial annual report of the Pinelands Commission's Long-Term Economic Monitoring Program reviews the program's first year of data collection. Data collection began in July 1996 following the outline in the Detailed Design for Long-Term Economic Monitoring. This detailed design specified the data to be collected and the objectives of the program, and called for findings to be reported annually, with a summary report being issued every five years.Based on indications observed in the data, the program will analyze issues more closely by embarking on "Special Studies" on an annual basis. Potential topics for special study are included at the end of each topic area section below. The possibilities included here should not be seen as an exhaustive list of topics for studies, but rather as a starting point for consideration of special studies. Final determination of which special studies to embark upon is the responsibility of the Pinelands Commission; however, the Commission has requested the adviceof the public as to which areas to explore.

Year: 1998

description: A blend of federal, state and local programs is responsible for safeguarding the environmental and cultural resources of the region. Of particular importance to the regional economy are land use policies crafted by the Pine1ands Commission and implemented by municipalities that significantly limit development in designated Preservation, Forest, and Agricultural Areas. Of major interest to landowners, residents, and businesses in the region is the economic impact ofthe regulations on land values, real estate markets, local government finances, and farm and business economic performance. A number of studies have been conducted since the inception of the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) in 1980 that have addressed these issues (see Appendix A). These efforts, while only able to measure the short-term impacts of the CMP, have recognized the importance of monitoring economic and fiscal impacts over the long term.

description: This paper firstly develops an analytical framework to investigate the performance of uplink (UL) / downlink (DL) decoupled access in cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) networks, in which a vehicle's UL/DL can be connected to different macro/small base stations (MBSs/SBSs) separately. Using the stochastic geometry analytical tool, the UL/DL decoupled access C-V2X is modeled as a Cox process, and we obtain the following theoretical results, i.e., 1) the probability of different UL/DL joint association cases i.e., both the UL and DL are associated with the different MBSs or SBSs, or they are associated with different types of BSs; 2) the distance distribution of a vehicle to its serving BSs in each case; 3) the spectral efficiency of UL/DL in each case; and 4) the UL/DL coverage probability of MBS/SBS. The analyses reveal the insights and performance gain of UL/DL decoupled access. Through extensive simulations, \textcolor{black}{the accuracy of the proposed analytical framework is validated.} Both the analytical and simulation results show that UL/DL decoupled access can improve spectral efficiency. The theoretical results can be directly used for estimating the statistical performance of a UL/DL decoupled access C-V2X network.
