title: Towards Quantification of Active Sand Volume in the Nearshore Profile
Creators: name: Ozger, Sukru Serkan
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2000

description: An active sand volume concept is introduced for the first time in this study. The significance of this new concept and its possible practical uses for Coastal Engineering are discussed. A theory is proposed towards quantification of the active sand volume across a beach profile and the circumstances under which it should be defined are determined.

Next, a 12-year nearshore bathymetric data set surveyed at the Field Research Facility of the Army Corps of Engineers at Duck, NC is used to determine the hypothetical quantity of active volume. Statistical analysis of elevations at digitized cross-shore distances is performed and a site specific hypothetical active sand volume for the FRF is proposed as 630 m3 /m.

The same data set is used to determine the actual quantity of active sand volume by means of volume analysis programs. The active volume concept is first subdivided into two as time-interval and event-dependent active sand volumes. The actual quantification is performed to cover long-term, fair-weather and storm periods, separately. Quantitatively, none of the active sand volumes under those categories converge to the hypothetical volume proposed. The maximum is about 185 m3 /m while the hypothetical volume is about 630 m3 /m. An empirical relationship between active sand volume and storm intensity is also established.

Finally, it is concluded that the hypothesis about the theoretical quantity is not valid but the concept of active volume is important and can be widely used in hard and soft solutions to coastal problems such as in beach nourishment projects and assessing the effects of seawalls.

description: Quantum computers attract much attention as they promise to outperform their classical counterparts in solving certain type of problems. One of them with practical applications in quantum chemistry is simulation of complex quantum systems. An essential ingredient of efficient quantum simulation algorithms are initial guesses of the exact wave functions with high enough fidelity. As was proposed in [Aspuru-Guzik et al., Science 309, 1704 (2005)], the exact ground states can in principle be prepared by the adiabatic state preparation method. Here, we apply this approach to preparation of the lowest lying multireference singlet electronic state of methylene and numerically investigate preparation of this state at different molecular geometries. We then propose modifications that lead to speeding up the preparation process. Finally, we decompose the minimal adiabatic state preparation employing the direct mapping in terms of two-qubit interactions.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It has long been known that rotation can have an appreciable impact on stellar pulsation --- by modifying the usual p and g modes found in the non-rotating case, and by introducing new classes of mode. However, it's only relatively recently that advances in numerical simulations and complementary theoretical treatments have enabled us to model these phenomena in any great detail. In this talk I'll review highlights in this area (the 'Greatest Hits'), before considering the flip side (or the 'B-side', for those of us old enough to remember vinyl records) of the pulsation-rotation interaction: how pulsation can itself influence internal rotation profiles.

description: In this thesis, I describe my creative practice of designing a series of relational and collaborative engagements, as expressions of my love of critical pedagogical theory by Paulo Freire. I learned about the nuances of shared knowledge by feeling Freire’s theories through my body. I became aware that learning and teaching coexist in an ongoing process of consciousness. This consciousness is held in body and mind, and it is also held between beings we share this planet with. During my research I realized that important moments of learning happen through relational practices. These include workshops, but also collaborative writing, auto-ethnography, braiding, storytelling and other conversations. These methods are not tightly defined or given specific form. In searching for a term that could encompass these, I came upon the gradient, as a descriptive and visual term that includes many different engagements, an amorphous undefined space that allows friction, growth and flourishing as we learn about ourselves in relation to others. Wandering the gradient as an action of openness, we discover a notion of emergence which most of the time is not linear or predictable. I reflect about ways in which design can help people understand that we can learn collaboratively with all beings. I speculate that when we acknowledge this form of learning, we may start to shift to a more horizontal and interdependent alliance among all beings. This can influence our sense of interdependency, encourage us to question power structures we are embedded within, and commit to ecological flourishing.
title: Optimization of DEMON® Sidestream Treatment and Potential for Anammox Mainstream Bioaugmentation
Creators: name: Nifong, Andrea Lauren
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Anaerobically digested sludge dewatering liquors (e.g. centrate) can represent 15-25% of the total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) load on a typical municipal waste water treatment plant (WWTP). Sidestream nitrogen removal has been demonstrated to be an effective tool for improving nitrogen removal performance and reliability with a savings in aeration energy, chemicals (supplemental alkalinity and carbon), and sludge production.

Deammonification, partial nitritation by ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) combined with anaerobic ammonium oxidation (AMX or anammox), provides near complete nitrogen removal with a 65% reduction in energy and 100% reduction in supplemental carbon and alkalinity requirements as compared to traditional nitrification-denitrification. The DEMON® treatment process is one available sidestream deammonification treatment process which is a single step deammonification system in which both partial nitritation and AMX occur in the same tank, operated similar to a typical sequencing batch reactor (SBR) with intermittent aeration and intermittent feeding throughout the reactor cycle.

The DEMON® was installed in existing SBR tanks that were part of a decommissioned water reuse system. The DEMON® installation at York River was the first in North America and the first full-scale anammox process of any type, while over 40 full-scale systems are currently being operated in Western Europe.

The DEMON® has reached stable 80-90% ammonia removal (70-80% TN) to date and provided insight to establish startup procedures for successful and efficient DEMON implementation in North America.

The effect of temperature shock and long-term exposure to reduced temperatures on AMX activity was studied. This research aims to demonstrate that AMX activity is maintained at lower temperatures and quantify the reduction in activity over temperature decline by developing an Arrhenius coefficient for AMX. The experimental design attempted to replicate the temperature changes anticipated in a mainstream bioaugmentation process, both long-term exposure and short-term exposure (temperature shock) to decreased temperature and the ability of AMX to acclimate and recover from these temperature exposures.

This study suggests that acclimation will help mitigate the effects of activity loss at lower temperatures and that AMX is able to fully and quickly recover activity loss after temperature shock.

description: We revisit the formalism of modular interpreted systems (MIS) which encourages modular and open modeling of synchronous multi-agent systems. The original formulation of MIS did not live entirely up to its promise. In this paper, we propose how to improve modularity and openness of MIS by changing the structure of interference functions. These relatively small changes allow for surprisingly high flexibility when modeling actual multi-agent systems. We demonstrate this on two well-known examples, namely the trains, tunnel and controller, and the dining cryptographers. Perhaps more importantly, we propose how the notions of multi-agency and openness, crucial for multi-agent systems, can be precisely defined based on their MIS representations.

title: Storytelling to Promote Mental Health: A Conceptual Analysis and Application with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Depression
Creators: name: Davis, Carter H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: Mental health treatments can be delivered in many ways. One approach is to use storytelling to communicate healthy practices. While societies across the world have engaged in storytelling for thousands of years, these practices have been used less in the mental health field. The aim of this project was to study the overlap between the areas of mental health and storytelling. We also tested how a storytelling-based mental health treatment could help solve a particular clinical problem. In this case, the problem of people who receive inadequate help for managing depression through medication alone.
We examined one particular mental health intervention, called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and its overlap with basic principles of storytelling. The central goal of ACT is to live more fully according to one’s personal values even in the presence of emotional suffering. We explain technically how reading, hearing, or seeing engaging stories could support this goal. We also describe ways that therapists who use ACT with their patients can draw from these storytelling-based principles.
The second part of this project was a specific test of what happens when ACT and storytelling are combined in a mental health treatment. LifeStories is an online mental health program that teaches ACT-based skills for managing depression through the use of personal narrative videos of other patients who have developed effective ways of coping. We tested LifeStories with a group of primary care patients who were prescribed vi antidepressant medication but were not receiving other mental health support. Half of these patients used the LifeStories program for four weeks in addition to taking their medication, while the other half only took medication.
We found that patients who used LifeStories had greater increases in quality of life compared to those only taking medication. These patients also became more interested in continuing mental health treatment after the program ended. In both groups of patients, depression severity decreased at the same rate, as did psychological inflexibility. Overall, our study showed that a brief storytelling intervention can improve quality of life and promote interest in seeking further mental health support for primary care patients.

title: The Efficacy and Feasibility of Web-Based Acceptance-Enhanced Behavioral Treatment for Trichotillomania in Adults: A Randomized Waitlist-Controlled Trial
Creators: name: Capel, Leila K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: Trichotillomania, or chronic hair pulling, impacts several aspects of a person’s everyday life and functioning including making it difficult to fully engage in school, work, romantic relationships, and other social relationships. There are several treatment options for trichotillomania and one that is particularly promising is acceptance and commitment therapy-enhanced behavioral therapy (AEBT). Several studies have been done in person and through telehealth and this treatment has helped participants.
Many people in the U.S. struggle with trichotillomania but many people are not able to access treatment for their hair pulling because clinicians are not available in their area, clinicians are not trained to help with hair pulling, and the financial burden of therapy on the individual. Telehealth has helped individuals to access clinicians, but it still causes a financial burden to access telehealth services. This study was designed to test a web-based treatment, that could be accessed from anywhere, that delivered AEBT through a fully automated, modular system to address all barriers and limitations to accessing treatment. The treatment was tested against a waitlist condition (delayed access to treatment) in a sample of 81 adults in the U.S. with trichotillomania. Results are discussed.

description: We introduce GYRE, a new open-source stellar oscillation code which solves the adiabatic/non-adiabatic pulsation equations using a novel Magnus Multiple Shooting (MMS) numerical scheme. The code has a global error scaling of up to 6th order in the grid spacing, and can therefore achieve high accuracy with few grid points. It is moreover robust and efficiently makes use of multiple processor cores and/or nodes. We present an example calculation using GYRE, and discuss recent work to integrate GYRE into the asteroseismic optimization module of the MESA stellar evolution code.

title: Pleistocene Deposits of Lower Wahweap Creek and Its Tributaries, Southern Utah
Creators: name: Slade, Noah
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: The famous landscapes of the Colorado Plateau have been created over millions of years, primarily by erosive forces of wind and water. Interruptions in the long-term erosion of the landscape occur when streams gain more sediment than they can transport, which causes deposition along channels and floodplains. The resulting sequences of terrace deposits are used by geologists to study when and how river systems have evolved.
Mammoth bones were recently discovered in stream deposits along Wahweap Creek, a tributary of the Colorado River in southern Utah. Previous work indicates that the deposits pre-date the last ice age, making it one of the oldest mammoth sites in the Colorado Plateau. The deposit is composed of uniquely fine-grained sediment and stands in stark contrast to gravels typically associated with stream terraces of similar ages. The geographic extent, precise age, and depositional setting of the fossil-bearing deposit was unknown, as was its relations to regional geology.
This research used mapping and stratigraphic assessment of stream deposits in the lower Wahweap Creek catchment to assess their locations and geologic characteristics. Deposits were dated using the luminescence properties of mineral grains and analyzed for their chemical properties. Results indicate that the mammoth site is part of a period of extensive deposition across the lower catchment occurring ~240-210 thousand years ago (ka), with sediment deposited in a combination of stream, wetland, and spring environments. Results also indicate that additional episodes of deposition occurred ~380 ka, ~320-290 ka, ~85-65 ka, ~20-15 ka, and ~3-1 ka. Using these ages and the elevations of their corresponding deposits, a reconstructed incision history of Wahweap Creek indicates the channel experienced an extended phase of little to no erosion ~240-100 ka. This period of landscape stability likely contributed to the high degree of fossil preservation and may reflect a delayed response to erosion recorded on the Colorado River. The results presented here have important implications for locating remains of extinct ice age fossils, as well as understanding of how tributaries to the Colorado River respond to climate and baselevel fall.

description: The b1 structure function is an observable feature of a spin-1 system sensitive to non-nucleonic components of the target nuclear wave function. The contributions of exchanged pions in the deuteron are estimated and found to be of measurable size for small values of x. A simple model for a hidden-color, six-quark configurations (with~ 0.15% probability to exist in the deuteron) is proposed and found to give substantial contributions for values of x>0.2. Good agreement with Hermes data is obtained. Predictions are made for an upcoming JLab experiment. The Close & Kumano sum rule is investigated and found to be a useful guide to understanding various possible effects that may contribute.

description: We investigate a class of theories where the mass of the lightest Higgs boson of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) can be larger than the Z gauge boson mass at tree level. In this context the MSSM fields feel a new force, whose corresponding gauge boson attains its mass through the Stueckelberg mechanism. We show how one can achieve a Higgs mass around 126 GeV without assuming a heavy stop spectrum or a large stop trilinear term. The application of this class of models to the conservation of R-parity is also discussed.

description: Various extensions of the temporal logic ATL have recently been introduced to express rich properties of multi-agent systems. Among these, ATLsc extends ATL with strategy contexts, while Strategy Logic has first-order quantification over strategies. There is a price to pay for the rich expressiveness of these logics: model-checking is non-elementary, and satisfiability is undecidable. We prove in this paper that satisfiability is decidable in several special cases. The most important one is when restricting to turn-based games. We prove that decidability also holds for concurrent games if the number of moves available to the agents is bounded. Finally, we prove that restricting strategy quantification to memoryless strategies brings back undecidability.

description: Prototyping and validating hardware-software components, sub-systems and systems within the intelligent transportation system-of-systems framework requires a modular yet flexible and open-access ecosystem. This work presents our attempt towards developing such a comprehensive research and education ecosystem, called AutoDRIVE, for synergistically prototyping, simulating and deploying cyber-physical solutions pertaining to autonomous driving as well as smart city management. AutoDRIVE features both software as well as hardware-in-the-loop testing interfaces with openly accessible scaled vehicle and infrastructure components. The ecosystem is compatible with a variety of development frameworks, and supports both single and multi-agent paradigms through local as well as distributed computing. Most critically, AutoDRIVE is intended to be modularly expandable to explore emergent technologies, and this work highlights various complementary features and capabilities of the proposed ecosystem by demonstrating four such deployment use-cases: (i) autonomous parking using probabilistic robotics approach for mapping, localization, path planning and control; (ii) behavioral cloning using computer vision and deep imitation learning; (iii) intersection traversal using vehicle-to-vehicle communication and deep reinforcement learning; and (iv) smart city management using vehicle-to-infrastructure communication and internet-of-things.

description: The polaron optical conductivity is derived within the strong-coupling expansion, which is asymptotically exact in the strong-coupling limit. The polaron optical conductivity band is provided by the multiphonon optical transitions. The polaron optical conductivity spectra calculated within our analytic strong-coupling approach and the numerically accurate Diagrammatic Quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) data are in a good agreement with each other at large $α\gtrapprox 9$.

description: As demonstrated with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), Pan-STARRS, and most recently with Gaia data, broadband near-UV to near-IR stellar photometry can be used to estimate distance, metallicity, and interstellar dust extinction along the line of sight for stars in the Galaxy. Anticipating photometric catalogs with tens of billions of stars from Rubin's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), we present a Bayesian model and pipeline that build on previous work and can handle LSST-sized datasets. Likelihood computations utilize MIST/Dartmouth isochrones and priors are derived from TRILEGAL-based simulated LSST catalogs from P. Dal Tio et al. The computation speed is about 10 ms per star on a single core for both optimized grid search and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods; we show in a companion paper by K. Mrakovčić et al. how to utilize neural networks to accelerate this performance by up to an order of magnitude. We validate our pipeline, named PhotoD (in analogy with photo-z, photometric redshifts of galaxies) using both simulated catalogs and SDSS, DECam, and Gaia photometry. We intend to make LSST-based value-added PhotoD catalogs publicly available via the Rubin Science Platform with every LSST data release.

description: We present a spectral and imaging analysis of the X-ray reflecting structure at the heart of the Circinus galaxy, investigating the innermost regions surrounding the central black hole. By studying an archival 200 ks Chandra ACIS-S observation, we are able to image the extended clumpy structure responsible for both cold reflection of the primary radiation and neutral iron Ka line emission. We measure an excess of the equivalent width of the iron Ka line which follows an axisymmetric geometry around the nucleus on a hundred pc scale. Spectra extracted from different regions confirm a scenario in which the dominant mechanism is the reflection of the nuclear radiation from Compton-thick gas. Significant differences in the equivalent width of the iron Ka emission line (up to a factor of 2) are found. It is argued that these differences are due to different scattering angles with respect to the line of sight rather than to different iron abundances.

description: Using a combination of accurate density-functional theory and a nonequilibrium Green function's method, we calculate the ballistic thermal conductance characteristics of tensile-strained armchair (AGNR) and zigzag (ZGNR) edge graphene nanoribbons, with widths between 3-50 Å. The optimized lateral lattice constants for AGNRs of different widths display a three-family behavior when the ribbons are grouped according to N modulo 3, where $N$ represents the number of carbon atoms across the width of the ribbon. Two lowest-frequency out-of-plane acoustic modes play a decisive role in increasing the thermal conductance of AGNR-N at low temperatures. At high temperatures the effect of tensile strain is to reduce the thermal conductance of AGNR-N and ZGNR-N. These results could be explained by the changes in force constants in the in-plane and out-of-plane directions with the application of strain. This fundamental atomistic understanding of the heat transport in graphene nanoribbons paves a way to effect changes in their thermal properties via strain at various temperatures.
